Two years since we finished filming for Monty Don’s Big Dreams Small Spaces gardening show.
One biggish change is the bamboo. It never worked as a line of plants. So I’ve dug our most of them and created a grove. Already it’s transformed that area of the garden.
The chamomile lawn, decimated over winter, is recovering after improving the drainage with grit and compost and replanting with cuttings.

Beautiful garden
I saw you create your garden on the show Big Dreams, Small Spaces – I’m thrilled to find your garden update! I can’t wait to see more updates in the future. Keep up the great work.
Nick, what is your Instagram?
You can buy klump bamboo, and plant them i´m the plastic containers. They don´t spread.
Love the updates.
Very beautiful! Very meditative…
Beautiful design- it looks amazing! – what are the two plants- 1) the ground cover that looks like moss that occupies the bulk of the center 2) the bamboo type grass around the tree
What is the small pine in the far corner?
Yes you must use a liner with the monsters called running bamboo or you will regret it… I'm just saying
