In the first of our new series, Notes from a Garden, we visit garden designer Arthur Parkinson at the Cotswold cottage he shares with his partner, interior designer James Mackie. In two years, Arthur has transformed the tiny space from the building site left behind after the cottage was extended, to a lush, abundant garden that is also a haven for wildlife. Here he talks us through the highlights in June, including his romantic border full of foxgloves and roses, his approach to planting in containers, how to care for sweet peas, and the keys to successful shade planting.

What do you see in old men?
Very beautiful. Loved ending with the clothes hanging outside.
🧡🧡
"It's proven that salvias help the rose foliage.". Total rubbish. Nothing of the short has been proven. Sarah Raven made one comment on her channel.
Great video but awful music which is such a distraction
Here one can see real passion and knowledge. Great garden. Congrats!
Most relaxing video🙏🌻
I adore this garden and his love for it, too. The sweetpeas are so happy and huge and the rest are all my favorites, foxglove, roses even an artichoke! I'm wondering where is the peony, there must be a peony, right? Lovely, lovely!
The garden is lame by great garden standards
Who do these people know ? 😂
I love it
Great Content! Its very helpful for me to put nature in the picture of my life! 🥀🌻😎
David Nicholls, deputy editor of House and Garden magazine, harassed and bullied an autistic student to the point of suicide.
Mr David Nicholls, deputy editor of ‘House and Garden’ (UK), designed a pictograph of stick-figure corpses arranged in a numbered grid of columns and rows. “Connect the Jews!” was his joke. Ask him about it. Ask him if it’s true. Because it is. That’s the kind of person who’s rating your bedsheets.

Utterly beautiful!
Lovely XXX
What gorgeous gardens! Thx you for sharing!
wow, i love it.
He has a stone cottage in the Cotswolds. Thats a million quid right there.
Im sure hes a lovely bloke and all but hes not exactly "slumming it" as a youtuber.
These are super rich guys playing gardener.
He is a decent gardener sure…. but give me a million pound house in the Cotswolds and make me independently wealthy and I would be able make videos with "lazy jazz" tunes and lots of green.
How about you come up to the Cairngorms and show us how to grow? Between the cooch grass, five month growing season and shit light levels, it should be a test of your mettle.
Your garden is so beautiful. How could i contact you?
Beautiful planting. May I suggest – that there is no need for background music, especially when you are speaking! 🌸
I want to know how anyone can have a garden as beautiful and blooming as this and not a slug in sight. I'm plagued with them, hiding in pots, chomping on any pretty flowers i bring home. Any advice welcome.
Thank you ❤
Wowza, beautiful garden, my small one is coming up have working soo hard
Many people water at dusk because they are in a tearing rush in the morning to start work, but actually watering in the morning is far superior, before the sun is strong, if you water at night the dampness does not dry off as it does if you do so in the morning, and it encourages mildew.
Wonderful gardener. I wonder where the chickens are since the move? Real beauties. 🇬🇧😊
Very lovely, thank you 🌹🌹
