So
Much
Wanted!
I would LOVE to create a room in my garden with a very similar style.
Seeing this I assume that the box tree moth has not hit the UK jet, because box would be the best plant for a knot garden. I got rid of all my over 60 years old box (hedges and topiary) about 10 years ago. back then my garden was not only crowded by plants, children where playing there as well.Hence I did not want to spray BT erver so often. Every time I watch videos from UK or USA where this damn moth is unknown I am sad that I lost so much of my garden structure. I´m aware of the replacement plants, they are not comparable to box. BTW, I´m not a control freak, I only love knot gardens.
Hi lee, It is good to see you back behind the watercolour brush😁 Can't wait until the weather turns and you can hopefully produce some outdoors videos again. Oh yes, did you polish off all the gooseberry jam? 👍 Cheers, Terry.
Loved this, thanks! Will you be implementing the design? If so, I hope we get to see it!
I started a "master garden design plan" a few years back and have used it as my reference plan ever since. It is amazing the clarity and planning benefits to have it all on paper. The visuals really help. Thank you for your design method . . . always great to see a methodical approach.
Really pretty! Would look so sweet with some tiny white flowers somewhere.
I want a street corner garden design, please ! ! !
I love your videos and have been watching them for some years now in the US. I love formal gardens, keep up the great work and happy spring.
Hi Lee. Any advice on dealing with moss? I watched your scarifying video but just want to know if I should use any chemicals to deal with moss? 🙂
Once again I have learnt something new, I have never heard of the term formal knot garden but it does make sense. I do like them, very different from your normal designs but very very clever. Mum 😍
Love the design. I reallly wanted to see it in the garden. It is interesting at 52 that I can remember all the popularity of formal gardens discussed by the ladies in my mom's garden club in the 80s… So not the thing talked about in such a long time, but I love being old enough to have enjoyed all the delights of the 80s! Thanks. Take care.
