n this video Isabella Tree shows Bunny her private garden, as well as the croquet lawn and kitchen garden in the Walled Garden which have been reworked by Tom Stuart-Smith and James Hitchmough.
They also see the most recently created garden by the new restaurant which sells produce from their market garden and the Knepp Estate.

Sound? A lot of comments including mine, have asked you to please improve the sound quality. I would love to hear your conversation.
Nice video, but unable to hear interesting conversation.
I do not believe the correct form of address is Lady Isabella Tree.
Great video, great ideas
Sound awful 😢
Looking forward to the newest episode Bunny! I don't want to be adding to some of the not so constructive comments about audio other than to suggest that I like the DJI Mic kit (I would link it but I think my comment gets flagged) it can sync with your existing camera setup also and is the most popular one right now on the market. The podcast audio is nice fwiw!
My late sister – in – law did her PhD thesis on the life cycle of a decaying log/ tree! Great to do if u have the space!
Im loving these videos of yours interviewing very interesting people/gardeners, always look forward to your videos because we think the same way about gardening. Respect xxx Ps I have learned so much from you.
Wow very informative videos and eye opening to what we all need to do for the environment. I watch another channel which whilst I enjoy seeing the beauty, it does concern me. They water daily, use so much fertiliser (weekly) and the bags of soil/compost used just scares me when considering where is all that plastic going.
Everything looks lovely but it does worry me.
Dear Ms Guinness, please adjust the sound. This is very interesting, as I have been utilizing these concepts. But I can’t hear a damned thing!

The black seed heads look gorgeous against the pale garden ❤
Hulloh Bunny! Lady Isabella Tree looks like the actress Fiona Shaw I think.
Isabella clearly wasn't expecting to be filmed judging by her hair and clothing…
Don't take a shot every time L.I.T. says "creating". Izzy darling, there's only one creator.
Bunny, so many people moaning about sound… it’s not the end of the world, it is fine. Not easy to get sound spot on when windy in September
Honestly, the gardens shown do not look well. They look as though they’ve been abandoned and overgrown. We do need to rethink how we garden and some of the concepts are excellent, but can we please be truthful about this type of thing. There’s no point in pretending that this works when it simply looks like a mess. Its a case of the emperor’s new clothes- nobody seems to have the courage to call it out
So very interesting. I would love to see a garden/grounds that fall somewhere in the middle between what’s featured here and a typically very kept, pruned landscape.
The pool area is just too wild and overgrown for me. I need baby steps, lol!
Some gardeners overthink the process of gardening
I always enjoy your videos, Bunny, but this video is my very favorite! ❤️ Thank you for exposing these amazing gardeners and their beautiful gardens to those of us who would not normally experience them.
I so appreciate her attitude and dedication, and am encouraged by the knowledge that she has some level of control over so much acreage. This must surely make a positive impact. I recall (though perhaps I shouldn't admit doing it) sending some California Poppy seeds to my cousins in Berkshire. Their garden was too lush for those desert flowers to thrive. They shared them with their daughter who lived in W. Sussex, where they did wonderfully. She told me they came back every year for almost a decade. I was not aware of the current water scarcity in the area; it sounds so much like California, where we are coming out of a very long drought. In North America (including Canada), many areas have added wildlife crossings where the natural corridors are interrupted. They now number almost 1,000. Highways that cross the U.S. are a huge problem, so underpasses and bridges planted with native species have allowed everything from bears, elk, and wolves, to lizards and mice to cross safely. I'm very excited that the largest wildlife crossing (the overpass will span 10 lanes of Los Angeles freeway) is set to open in early 2026. In particular, this will allow mountain lions (also called puma or cougar) to cross from the San Gabriel Mountains to Santa Monica, allowing previously separated groups of animals to breed. They are at the top of the food chain; what is good for mountain lions is good for all wildlife. As always, thank you Bunny, for allowing us to meet so many wonderful people who love the land. 🙂
Well, I guess we can't go there for a croquet,…..seriosly, having a lawn to play sports upon doesn't mean one has to spread pesticides everywhere. One can just mow.
