    A very special treat on a relaxing Sunday. Loved this, thank you! 💗🌸🌷

    Thank you Linda and Alexandra love the contrast of the different time zone and gardening zone. Ones garden is truly an extension of their indoor living oasis and it's depicted in this video. Love the setting in both hemisphere ❤

    I wasn’t much of a gardener at all until we bought our stone cottage six years ago. It has totally changed me! I always work to make the garden showcase the stone and the house. People often call it the Hansel and Gretl house, we get a lot of slow drive bys, people stopping and complimenting our hard work and families go out of their way at Halloween to visit us. The previous owner did a totally English style and was gorgeous! Very different from what we have now but we still love it. Thank goodness for YouTubers like you and Alexandra! Completely inspiring!

    I love Alexandra and her channel so much! I can’t manage my English country garden in Indiana without her! Thanks, Linda! ❤️👍

    Linda I could listen to you read the dictionary! You have such a wonderfully eloquent way of describing your garden and a nostalgic southern accent to us fellow southerners. Hello from Dallas.

    Linda, you are a wonderful inspiration. I just retired 3 months ago and have been spending a lot of time in the garden! I created a new garden space in the back of my yard, a project which I wanted to get to for so long, and now I have the time. It took me about 2 months — tilling by hand and hauling dirt, and creating a border around it to hold the soil, as it's on a hill. (Thanks to my husband who assisted with some of the heavy lifting!) The plants are now in place and I am totally enjoying it. A boxwood is front and center in my new garden, along with many other perennials that match the style of my home (Cape style). My next project is to build stairs between this flower bed and the one next to it. I so look forward to your informative videos, which are inspiring and informative.

    Absolutely gorgeous! You inspire me so much-needed to update my landscaping to more Perennials in my garden.
    Kentucky weather can be challenging also here.
    Keep up the great work and great tips.

    Glad to be directed to you from Alexandra. I have a lot of the same ethos about gardens/yards as you do. Would love to see some current gardens for early 60's, kinda ranch, brick but blah homes.

    Two of my favorite gardeners collaborating– Life is GOOD! Now invited Yulia of YGarden to share and I am over the moon happy!

    What a feast for the eyes! Is your lawn velveteen? 😉 Looks like it. I love your glorious garden, Linda. WOW.

  19. Maria Doyle

    love watching middle sized garden. Relatively new to your channel Linda but I'm obsessed. I really love your brick and flagstone walkways with the gravel in between, would be great if you could show us how it was done. Looking forward to seeing some creative ways from you with edibles this year.

    I love both of your channels! I also look out my upstairs windows at my garden beds to see the appeal of the layout. I have a traditional style home and work to repeat the planting around my home, keeping to a handful of plants bringing it out away from my home with grass in the middle for grounding. Thank you both for your expertise!

    I live in a story and a half Cape Cod-style home. I, too, moved in about 30 years ago.
    I didn't consciously think of my house's structure style when I designed my English garden. I just like that look.
    I have typical foundation plantings, but also installed gardens butting the public sidewalk. When I'm outside in the early evening it's fun to meet people who stop to admire my seasonal display. Why, just today, the postal carrier stopped long enough to comment on the currently stunning display of my 'Prairie Fire' crabapple with a carpet of white wind anemones next to my driveway. He even came back later with a package (not for me) and commented on my tulips next to the public sidewalk.
    I love bringing a bit of beauty to the neighborhood.
    Oh, and Linda, I recently purchased some bricks to edge one of my gardens where the wood mulch spills over the metal edging onto my crushed rock patio. I like how yours is a mixture of bricks and stone. I ran into a problem with interference from established plants so may incorporate other materials to achieve the look and objective.

    This is my very favorite video to date that you have made and you have made a lot of fantastic ones. Hearing from England and then hearing about your home architecture and age was the best. My husbands grandfather owned a tutor in OKC that reminds me of yours. Thanks for such a great video❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

    I loved every minute of this video. I ate it up like a hungry child. Still cool here on the West Coast Cali, Nor-Cal. South of SF. Sun is out today. Thank you Linda for your inspiring video.

    Love the videos, the ideas, tutorials, all of it. I’m in a hard spot right now as we live in a rental home community while we are in between moving in with my mother as a caregiver so no yard work and no planting other than a few planters on the front and back porch. But I can work in my mothers yard-she is a plant fanatic and she gets huge joy from it. So how in the world do I reign myself in to not go hog wild in planting more plants? It’s a hard life loving a beautiful yard and wanting to constantly make more of a beautiful yard! Ha ha

    Linda, do you treat your tulips as annuals? Our 7b in N. Georgia doesn't generally get enough cold. Perhaps it's more a drainage thing but we don't count on tulips returning dependably.

    Hi Linda I just wish you have a video when you design your garden.. I love your front garden design and all topiary. I am in zone 3 and we are very cold and long winter than in Oklahoma. Sometimes our temperature -30 to – 50 for a week plus the windchill..

  32. Anya T

    Two wonderful women, with fabulous experience and knowledge.
    I follow you both!

    Hola de Espana. Hello from Spain. Live in Spain. The U.K. gardens are the best in the world because of the soft light. The plants really stand out there. Like the red ( pink really ) white and blue. Here in Spain it's so sunny you need the bright yellows and reds. Another thing is the lawns in U.K. You can lay on them and no mosquitoes. Here you just get bitten all day. Not to mention the garden centers over there and the cafeterias attached, you can spend hours on end there. The Stately Homes and gardens, wonderful. Hola Inglaterra Te quiero. Two good, informative videos.
