Cobblestones inspired by a London mews street, borders made from reclaimed railway sleepers found on eBay, hedging which gives the space the feel of a secret garden, and planting that looks verdant all year round without a blade of grass in sight. In the fourth episode of our renovation video series ‘Evolution of a Home’ Matilda Goad takes us through the sparkling, unusual design of her garden.
As a novice gardener Matilda’s brief to the garden designer Butter Wakefield was that the space had to be low maintenance but with some hardy flowers for cutting and bringing indoors, plenty of space for long summer lunches with friends and, crucially, a dash of the same character and whimsy that Matilda has applied to the interiors of her home.
‘The Evolution of a Home with Matilda Goad’ is a brand new renovation video series from House & Garden packed with ideas to copy. In 2018 House & Garden began following the renovation of the British designer and creative consultant Matilda Goad’s new home. Our aim was to create a series charting the journey of a house over a period of years, to reassure people decorating their own homes that it doesn’t happen overnight. That creating a layered, interesting interior is something that happens in stages, and that those stages aren’t always linear or smooth.
Tune in on Friday November 26 for Episode 5: Matilda’s Design Process and Sourcing. If you can’t wait until then read our story on Matilda’s home:

I’m glad to see beautiful, rich, upper class people, finally getting a break in this crazy world.
Show!🍀
Any snake there?
She's using mirclegro – 😱
She was great! Movie, not so much.
I didn’t know birds nest in ivy. Lovely garden
Hi what kind of music is that? it is so nice!
Beautiful♥️💕
I don't think breaking the space like that was a good idea. It makes it look so small. Besides, you want to see the wonderful dining area from the house but, of course, you can't because of the green walls in the middle.
Butter ?
LOVELY! So much color! All things beautiful… perfect video.
How beautiful and so imaginative. Well designed Matilda and your friend. Love Valérie.
Things r simple i don't like my country..
lové eeeee🤍
The parents called her Butter? When I told my daughter Margarine she fell about laughing…🙂

Very precious. Spare me.
Oh no. This was pretty insufferable. …
I really doubt antique railway sleepers crafted into a bench and table is a budget conscious choice
Please no never say "pop of colour". 😒
exquisitely
Your garden is Fantastic. It’s amazing what can be done in a small urban space. I am on my 3rd season of gardening in my urban back yard. I never thought I could pull it off but YouTube gardeners like you have taught me so much. I just love watching my garden grow and change each day and I also make garden videos! Now I can watch your garden grow in your videos too. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow! 🌺🌸🐝🌻🌻👨🌾🥕🐇🍅🫑🌷🪴
So inspirational
The moment I say "gardendesigner" my wallet empties from shock.
Love the garden!!! Enjoy.
Stunning design!
beautiful.
A wonderful colorful and green extension of your home! Your garden is absolutely amazing! ❤️
But tell me WHO, in their right mind, would tear all of that down and begin again?!?! Impossibly impossible. It was an oasis and lovely….now even more divine
Merci! Delicious…
I couldn't imagine your garden any other way. It is simply perfect! Everything is within scale and there is charm and mystery and the appropriate balance of color and greenery. Thanks so much, I have thoroughly enjoyed!!.
