“Before and After” videos are so satisfying. Thank you for sharing!

He's a lovely man. I asked him a question in Instagram and he sent me an essay back privately and even recorded a video of a part of his garden for me - not many would do that! Good on him.

More on narrow gardens please! A lot of us only have a strip like this to work with. Thank you so much for this one!

Hi, I like that you added the skyview map of the garden, it really helps understand what is going on and inspire.

Hats off to this guy for battling the bindweed and that's just for starters! What a family-friendly, environment-friendly transformation, an inspiration. Thanks for finding him for us, Alexandra😀😍

I love the recycled materials giving the garden a unique feel and cost saving at the same time. The garden is a vision. Those stone boundary walls are fantastic.

Watching these videos is helping me endure "imprisonment" when it is 95 humid degrees. I'm grateful for air conditioning, but I want to go outside!

I'd love to see a wide shallow garden design please

My garden is 12' going down 10' and 109' long - it's a difficult area but weaving paths and layering/ underplanting makes a wonderful vista. My neighbours all have very neat, very basic rectangular lawn and shrubs - I always apologise for my overgrown and busy garden, but they all say they love it and not to change it. ❤
