I love watching John stride about, weeding, trimming, wryly commenting, planning the future garden… NO ONE else does a garden video quite like John!

[northernlight]

True gardener. John’s videos make me smile every time. Thank you!

[carmenbailey]

Always a treat to walk with John through his gardens. I would absolutely love to go to Ireland and my first stop would have to be John’s gardens. Thanks for sharing your passion. 👍❤️😊

I started to watch your gardning videos when I was getting well from a head injury 🤕 and was very low and lonely. You made smile again and helped me to go back to the garden. I got the confidence to cut back the 🌹 brushes with a kick 😂😂😂😂 like you did . You are my favourite garden therapist ❤

[dawnfrost]

I sit here with my pad and pen writing down any plants john likes or recommends hoping to replicate on a smaller level in my modest garden. Thanks John for doing these videos you make my day.

[ddbydesign]

Love that therapy business idea, made me laugh.
I really enjoy watching your videos.
I’m in America no matter, I still learn so much from you.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

I think my favorite part was where are we going to finish off. Brought me a smile.

[marysetliff]

I never know when you say "finish off" if you're going to show us a plant or Chelsea Chop a plant. 😂 You are a treasure, John. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing gardens with us. When you said it had rained all of July I could have cried. I live in East Texas (U.S.). We have been over 100° and no rain for weeks now. We are burning up. So it's a pleasure to see your happy plants. Would you tell us where you got your shirt ? It's perfect.

[Gigi-fvky]

Those darn customers buying the plants before you can plant them, lol! You are awesome and your garden is looking beautiful. ❤️

[janewhite]

Rosa Mutabilis is on the very top of my current Wish List. It’s absolutely gorgeous, the range of colours that it chose

[allenslater]

It's a fact that your videos make me happier! Me and my wife have been in Ireland last 10 days and came to visit your beautiful Garden at the 2nd day... I was really hoping to meet you, even only for shaking your hand, unfortunately you weren't there :(
Anyway it's such a plesure listening to you...
Cheers from Veneto Italy!

Lovely look at the August garden. I love helenium too. One has to make sure they can grow as tall as they want. Great late season pollinator plant.
