On a north-facing mountainside in South Wales, Liz Zorab is creating the garden of her dreams that defies the odds. Using her years of growing experience, her new raised bed kitchen garden is full of food, flowers, and wildlife. I visited her back in the summer to pick up some great tips for any gardener looking to combine colour with crops and create a space for nature. I hope you are inspired by it as much as I am! You can follow Liz here on her channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LizZorab

Hi all! Just noticed a black screen around 10:15 for 8 or so seconds – I have cut it out on the YouTube editor but may take a few hours to show the change. The cut piece says that dahlia's petals and tubers are edible🌿Be sure to check out Liz's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LizZorab
What a gorgeous video! I have been followed Liz’s progress over the last year in her new homestead. She has made amazing progress. Her raised beds are something I aspire to.
Ah Huw and Liz, two of my absolute favourites. A beautiful garden beautifully filmed. 😍 ❤️
I love the friendship Huw, between you and Liz. You both inspire this zone6 mini farmer to try new things.
What a delightful garden walk with this lady. Thankyou for inviting her into your channel. I’m inspired!
So beautiful and inspiring!
Simply gorgeous!!!
Huw you like BBC Bristol? As the photography, pull down and the span is amazing. The Editor (Charlie) OMG what a cutting floor? Sound mixing nice it's a balance and found a wonderful medium, keep that no share lol sound is a sod to get right i know lol. Well produces thumbs up, and it's like a micro life on earth. 11/10
So So So beautifull!!!!😍😍😍
Lovely video, but may I point out that Earl Grey tea is made using the essential oil derived from a different plant, that is Citrus bergamia and not the Monarda plant in seen in the video?
I am super excited to learn you can make earl grey tea out of bee balm. I cannot wait to try it!!!
I love Liz’s garden, her approach to life and gardening, and her kind, gentle nature. It’s also lovely to see Huw and Liz gardening or chatting together (in other videos). Liz and Huw are two of my favourite gardeners.
Thanks x 👩🌾🪴🌺🌸
Lizs' Garden is beautiful! I'm so jealous of how good she is at growing flowers. Such variety and beauty!
But I also have to point out those beautiful initial shots of the garden you got, Huw! Makes me want to more there (even more!)
I just love Ms Zorab's garden and her approach! Definitely have to increase my cut flowers for next year!
BEAUTIFUL! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So, so beautiful! Thank you Liz and Huw so very much for the encouragement and hope that these videos bring! A healing balm to get us through the winter! Blessings on your day Kiddos!🥰🌻🐛🐝
Woww….. Amazing….
Liz and her garden are wonderful. I love her channel (and her tips for the kitchen).
I have a tip for the nicotiana that I learned from an orchardist – as well as the gorgeous flowers and fragrance, the leaves are sticky and are great planted under apple trees especially. The leaves will attract and trap all sorts of pests, particularly the codling moth in its various stages. Always a win.
Liz is a delight to listen to. Thanks for highlighting her.
Love this video! My winter project this year is to expand our pollinator garden. Great timing!
Great filming and editing Huw and Liz well done, great flower gardens, efforts and knowledge. I really enjoyed picking the bunch of flowers with you.
The music spoilt the video
Thank you Huw for sharing Liz's garden with us. It's inspired me to dedicate one of my Allotment plot beds to flowing annuals and perennials.
Beautiful
Love this
Absolutely you, beautiful Liz
How lovely 🧡
Very inspiring indeed!!! Thanks for your great work Hugh and thanks to Liz for beeing her beautiful self – it shows in her garden🌻
Just beautiful
It must be hard keeping the ducks in now cos of the bird flu. Also about kale I don’t like eating it on its own but I pick a few leaves of kale cavello nero spinach chard and tree cabbage and tree kale and I strip from stalks and chop into thin strips altogether and steam or boil till cooked and it’s lovely greens on your plate all the leaves altogether. Also shredded into stews and soups it’s nice too and they all so good for you. Just a tip of how I deal with curly kale
Lovely video
Thank-you. I thoroughly enjoyed the vlog 👍🏻
Your cinematography is stunning Huw! Absolutely gorgeous. Love Liz and her gardens, thank you for such beautiful video!
What a beautifully shot and edited video. I'm just stunned at how gorgeous Liz's garden is, but also how many times Liz refers to flowers existing there because she loves them which couldn't be a more poignant statement about gardens. Growing, creating and love all spring from the same well.
Omg I ❤ this video just for the honest dialogue about kale 😂 I detest it and there is no getting around it 😂. Thank you 💋
Wonderful! 😁
