Join me as I transform my new raised beds with a mix of perennials and annuals for privacy and beauty. We'll visit Tully Nurseries to choose the perfect perennial plants, and then I'll show you the planting process step by step. This video is full of practical tips for creating a stunning garden border that has a mix of height and fullness, giving colour all through Autumn.
I was inspired by my recent visits to The RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Bloom (check out my recent videos to see the gardens ), and I wanted to recreate my own show garden in my raised beds.

The projects in my book are for everyone, so take a break from the world, reignite your creative spark and make your home a little bit more beautiful! In my book, I share over fifty of my favourite projects, from upcycling, crafting, sewing, painting and gardening, many of which take unloved items and make them shine again.

    Many prayers being sent and said for you, Mother and family. You all have every right to your privacy. I have had several life-threatening illnesss and only my family and closest friend knew. I felt like talking about and enjoying each day's blessings and beauty...rather than focus on the other, tough stuff. I told myself my cancers got one hour a day...then the rest was for the gifts unveiled thru-out that special day. Love, prayers and blessings to you and yours.
  • It was an unexpected pleasant surprise to see a Sunday video from you this week. Your family remains in my prayers. Thank you for all you share.

    Great to see you back in your garden, it has been a very slow start for everything this year, spring was really non existent, but everything is catching up now. Love what you have done in the front, it looks as though it’s been growing for years 👍❤️

    The raised beds in your front garden is a smart idea and I think your plant choices look great. Love your back garden and greenhouse as well. Thank you for sharing.
  • @kayalford6746
    What a wonder surprise to see a Sunday video. Your garden is beautiful and shows all the hard work you do to make it this way. I’m sure it would be easier for you if you were not recording videos while you work but I want you to know how much pleasure it brings to me to watch these videos.

    Hi , Bernadette from near Belfast,love your channel and posts . They always lift me and give me great ideas for the garden . I'm disabled and have been unable to do much for the last two years and I don't have a greenhouse (if only lol) but you have inspired me to put lots of seeds in this year but dear God has this year been cold in Ireland .
