Absolutely lovely, so glad the owners take pride and enjoy working in their garden also. I am in America and love boxwood. We are fighting the boxwood blight and envy your healthy ones.
I keep coming back to this video.
You are a garden genius...... it looks like a piece of Heaven
Amazing
Wonderful and inspiring tour. Thank you. You made a brief mention of how even the compost area was interesting. How about a video with more inspiring designs for compost areas, large and small? Keep the videos coming. I find them a real inspiration as I’m sure many others do 👏
I've learned so much from you. Thank you. It never occurred to me to cut the bottoms of the pots out, or that root bags existed. Your videos are so informative that I watch them multiple times and catch details I missed the first time. You are a gracious presenter and speaker.
Hello there friend
Thank you Bunny for your help in our much loved garden! You have a great eye and the terrace is a particular triumph. It was a difficult area for me as an amateur to design as it sloped in varying directions. I had lots of thoughts involving building several (expensive) walls. I did not know what would look best. I had not thought of your suggestion of a slope with steps which works so well and opens the garden up from the terrace - where a wall across would have cut it off. The pattern of box is strong year in and out. It also saved me money! The trees and yew on the terrace stop the house feeling like it looms. Brilliant!.
Your garden is such a lovely and tranquil looking haven. Thank you for allowing Bunny to feature it on her channel.
Can you tell me please what material is the patio to the front door laid with aside from the granite sets?
@@susanfrost8898 The area in front of the front door is laid with stone sets and fine 'pea' gravel, the smallest size gravel. I like it because it is fine and as I have a lot of trees, and leaves, if it gets raked up with leaves it is great in my compost! - Sarah Furness
@@sarahfurness3182 Thank you. We have a similar issue with leaves. I will take a look at pea gravel.
@@sarahfurness3182 your garden is stunning! Bunny your brilliant ! I just love your designs and videos. Can you tell me the Malus you used in the pots on the patio they are beautiful! I would love to try the bottomless pot in my small pottager style garden and these have really caught my eye. Also where can i find your most revommended small trees for your bottomless pot method ? many thanks!
Bunny I love everything about your garden designs and thoroughly appreciate your enthusiasm for your craft. Thank you so much for sharing and please please continue to do so......
Ditto!
Hello there
Those steps are amazing. As is the house, the gardens, and most importantly, the deep check book. Suggesting those box hedges are a 'simple design' is hilariously oblivious.
The box planting is simple in that there are not many different varieties of plants so maintenance is straight forward and I think
It looks cohesive and non cluttered. But I see where you are coming from! The owners are really keen gardeners and open their garden to the public, television etc, and tending it and spending money on it over many years gives them huge pleasure . 🐇
What a design, truly lovely and calming. 12 years have past but the garden looks like it's been there for 100 years. The Box hedge geometric design on the slope is inspired..... you are getting a "drone" view without the drone. Love it.
Hello there
England Garden.. The best garden when I was a kid. Was my Grandpa and ma. I LOVE them..
Incredible garden. Thank you so much.
Hello from Colorado!
I came upon your videos some months ago, and quickly binge watched every episode. Not only do I love your garden designs but the videography as well. Not to mention your soothing voice as it takes us on a journey through each tranquil space, and the thought behind each one.
Spectacular! Please share more videos🌳😊🌳
Extraordinary design. ❤️
This is the most beautiful and interesting garden I've ever seen. I could just spend hours there taking it all in. The owners love their home and garden and it shows.
Amazing
I love seeing all these older gardens. So beautiful.
Me t2. Darling.. Xxoo. Water. Mulch. Love.. Ask. Cutting.. Ask. Darling..
Hello there
The topiary knot bank is utterly inspired
True staying power is when you watch a video over and over again and this one is it.
I need you in my life, my garden, I wish I could afford you! I’m saving up!
Hello there friend
This is a fabulous, amazing space! Formal but friendly and inviting! Owners are lucky!
Love, love your videos Bunny, I’ve learned so much from you. Many thanks.
Your enthusiasm is uplifting on a grey, wet morning. Thank you. You don't seem to have written any books strictly on garden design; I am surprised by that. I am pleased I discovered your channel, despite that !
I got so excited when I saw a new video post from you. Just adore your formal style that we in the US just can’t seem to compare.
Amazing
Carole Maynard, I agree. Live in Spain. Nobody can compete with an English garden.
Absolutely beautiful gardens, I love your gardening style, presentation and tips. I've watched all your videos over and can't wait for your next upload. You're an inspiration to us all keep up the good work Bunny.
It was wonderful to hear how these gardens and spaces were planned and evolved using height and "faults" of sloped land. I love the way you moved the parking area.
You are truly a master in your craft. I love your videos and the opportunity to understand what my untrained eye loves about your designs. Thank you for glimpses of the beauty you create and the opportunity to understand and emulate tiny moments in my own outdoor spaces! 💚
The courtyard area is so welcoming! It has a 'genius loci' all of it own.
Hello there friend
Such an honor to be able to see this garden, and even better to have you explain how and why!
It has an olde world feel about it, but nothing fuddy- duddy- fussy!
Everything works! Total functional beauty. Even the compost and chicken areas are lovely.
I feel the same sense of serenity seeing this as I do when I have a massage- at peace with the world.
Some private gardens open one weekend a year for charity here in the Cape.
I would pay for the honor of walking in this garden. Then again, too many prople would mess up the tranquility.
You are very, very talented. The owners must have been overjoyed to get your undertaking to do this!
Bunny you are so practical and knowledgable, the combination is hamony. Thank you.
Beautiful !
I've watched this video at least 10x and all 10x I've discovered something beautiful that I hadn't seen before. Long may this continue.
A beautiful garden. Thanks for the tour.
I could watch you all day, Bunny. Really love your design ideias.
Amazing
This is simple? I think it is amazingly complex!
Amazing
Utterly heavenly
Brilliant design principles. They make sense. Thank you Bunny!!
Lovely!
Lovely.
I am always so inspired by you when I watch your videos thank you for providing us with so much beautiful garden ideas and knowledge.
Amazing
Absolutely stunning garden! That’s the best use for a slope that I’ve ever seen.
Bunny your video’s are amazing,and your garden is fantastic.thank you for your time Sandy .
Just gorgeous.
Amazing
Breathtaking
Amazing
Absolutely gorgeous. I love the formality that is welcoming.
I would love to see some of your work for smaller city/urbain gardens. Although very beautiful, these sprawling country gardens are out of reach right now.
lovely. Thank you 🌿
Amazing
Dear Bunny.. So thrilled to find you here!! You’re brilliant! Your advice is so logical and your gardening expertise outstanding! Thank you so much! My own personal gardening channel!❤️🇨🇦❤️
Absolutely beautiful. Very inspiring!
Absolutely beautiful, love it 😍
Gorgeous and peaceful!
So inspirational!!
How wonderful. I love every bit!!
Absolutely beautiful garden❤️
Thank you, I adore your taste, your gardens, how inspiring you are. Merry Christmas.
As always fabulous presentation and garden..... Can anyone make suggestions for container shrubs for my North facing courtyard in Anglesey?
Omg That is gorgeous. I wish I could find someone like you in the US to help me design my backyard. I have a pool and want so much to place your style around it. Absolutely stunning!!!
Love it love it love it! I really do enjoy watching your work. You are an amazing designer!
I love the partnership you've developed with this couple, and their own delightful stone and brick work. Handling a continuous slope and the problem of cars are both challenges that I face - what a magnificent answer you've formulated, listening to your people, history and site. In the US in zone 5, box is not a ready solution, though I am exploring and experimenting with it.
Warmest regards
Jennie
It is amazingly beautiful!
This video I have looked at several times.
Hi Bunny Have just found your channel and wanted to let you know how much I love your vlogs ♥️ such beautiful gardens and such valuable info. Thank you 🙏
Amazing
Stunning garden. So many lovely ideas too. Can anyone tell me the name of the banjo music. I keep hearing it on different videos. Thank you.
Miss Marple is trying to find out who killed the colonel in the sunken garden.
Love it !
❤
Those shrubs give me nightmares 😳
What a beauty! Is this garden open to the public?
Yes it is, under the National Garden Scheme I think.
Bunny this is such a beautiful garden! But could you tell me how you stop the soil on the slope from washing down in a heavy rain? I’m sure the box holds it in now but when it was first planted was this a problem?
It’s worth planting slopes in early autumn so plants can get roots down before the droughts. Some soils are more stable than others ie have a steeper natural angle of retention. If it looks like the soil might roll down a bit I use a type of netting which is pegged in place and plant through this. The netting is designed specially for soil stabilisation. Many thanks for your comments🐇
I really like the courtyard design and how well the paving/edging matches the golden gravel but can I please ask what the stones/setts/cobbles you’ve used? I can’t find anything as nice.
Hi they were Indian stone setts colour grey. I get them from indi stone Ltd in Deeping st Nicholas, great firm to work with, will give keen prices and have made stone urns for me to my design and have shipped products to Japan for me. Really helpful firm and easy to deal with 🐇
@@bunnyguinness Thank you for your kind reply - I’ll take a look at their website. We have exactly the same issue where we don’t want cars parked directly in front of the house apart from the odd occasion. Love the channel - have you done or considered a video about hedges (native species)?
Could I ask what stone was used in this garden apart from gravel? It looks so beautiful.
It was Indian sandstone I think probably Raj Green. Trade price is from £13/Sq metre so it is quite reasonable. 🐇
@@bunnyguinness Thank you so much, and thank you for your knowledge, experience and wisdom you are so kind to share with everyone.
does anyone know if you can do box work in zone 3 ???? Its just not done here in Canada
Lovely...except I'm adverse to clipped box. It's such a cliche. I love the smell of the flowers when it's allowed to grow naturally. Like the planting of the Crabapple trees !
These boxwood are absolutely unique! Wonderful artistic sculpture.
@@BathtubPorsche You cannot say 'absolutely unique'. Something is unique...or it is not. Box hedging is just not my thing...especially such formal geometry. I am fan a fan of Bunny G. none the less.
