Besides loving your video content I really appreciate your natural hair, face and teeth. I’m so disturbed by all the fakery going on in social media. You look cared for and vibrant and that’s beautiful.

I love this little garden. So cleverly planned, natural looking and charming and it's also encouraging to see that the garden doesnt cover acres of land or that the owners dont appear to have the services of a gardening team... like most of us ordinary folk😊 Thank you to you also for the video Alexandra. I've had many really good and realistic ideas from your posts. Hope you have time for your own garden!

Thank you 🙏 have not long moved into a 1950’s bungalow with a completely overgrown garden which I have now cleared. I’m just beginning to plan and replant so lots of ideas here.

These gardeners have all used their small and shady spaces very creative, and to make the best use of them. Excellent examples, Victoria.😃

Having a narrow, north facing garden myself I found this charming garden an absolute inspiration. Thank you!

Beautiful garden, and I love that it is accessible. It's a shady, small garden full of life and character and magic.

I liked the idea of the dark green fence at the end of the garden, the effect of a pathway to a wooded area beyond was very well done

Lovely garden! Mine is pretty shady too. Found a hedgehog hibernating in the compost and was so happy about it!😍

I'm so impressed with how British gardeners seem to really know and value each individual plant.

Excellent. I have a North facing garden. To help I added a few 3'sqr Acrylic Mirrors. Angle brackets on bottom a wooden batton on top plus expansion foam on back with plastic drip cap on top. Works a treat and diminished moss growth etc. Plants love it too. Have seedum growing on shed and out building rooftops. Just chicken wire edge +plus old carpet+stones +expansion foam has transformed a dull dank backyard. Plenty of wild life. Enjoyable and relaxing.

The Drew's garden is wonderful! Thanks to them and to you. I especially like the treatment of trees and dark fence at the end of the garden.

Delightful! I have a 21x10 shady front garden which is abundant with ferns, volunteer Japanese maple, from 40 year old maple close by, oak leaf hydrangea, ivy, and Mahonia....it’s been like this for many years, but after watching this video, I plan to implement some of the ideas offered here. Wonderful video...
