Great video - informative and inspiring as always! :-)
I have been watching your gardening videos almost from day one and have learned such a lot which also feeds into the re-design of our own garden.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am already looking forward to your next project!

Just came across your channel whilst looking at Bamboo videos :)

Really enjoying looking back at the older videos and seeing how everything has changed over the last year or so.

I’m guessing your soil is pretty acidic - looking at your selection of plants or are you having to constantly amend it to suit each plant/area?

Beautiful video! You may want to try plant Camellia × williamsii - really hardy camellia variety. I've got one named 'Debbie'
