At the beginning of this clip, I thought, Oh, No, not more boring modern box like concepts, but... Annie's ideas and implementation turned out to be better than the original plan. What a great outcome! The planting reminded me of the New Zealand bush and the sculptures really worked. The only jarring note was the guy who was a trifle narcissistic, although his suggestion to increase the height of the water feature, which looked fantastic btw, was a good one - he just needed to remember that the project was not all about him...

Lots of clever camera angles and beautiful individual pieces but oh dear ... The screens are like vacant advertising hoardings. The garden is a little green version of Phoenix, Az. The challenge here would have been to create a quintessentially English garden in the small space - bursting with flowers, etc. through the seasons.

Ditch the conservatory and have a covered porch or pergola. The conservatory with the concrete walls is too claustrophobic in an already tiny space.

Pipsqwak Yes. I thought that was a bad choice of design of conservatory for that space. I guess they didnt want to look at the side walls but they could have grown things up those walls. They could have built in trellis and mirrors so that they gave the impression of windows through the walls, or painted beautiful views on them.

Usually more than the rest of us could afford. Custom made sculpture ... at least $2,000 each and the rest of the props another $3,000. The Bamboo is expensive, for the height and species $200 x 8 (I priced them locally where I live). Most of us do not have unlimited funds to play with, so we have to piece-meal it along. The waterfall, if you know any teens still in school who are taking metal shop, might be able to knock n weld something together, with the right incentive.

I usually scout n scavenge for odds n ends. I found an old beat up metal headboard (think brass bed), took it home, hosed it down and painted it. It now is a small privacy screen/border to carry sweet peas and morning glory. Out driving around you can usually find wildflowers growing by the roadside or the edge of a parking lot growing up through the cracks (keep a small shovel and a few pots in the back of the car for such opportunities). Also, don't be shy about knocking on someones door to complement their garden and asking for a few cuttings. Most people will oblige with a smile. Returning later with some of your own cuttings is a way of saying thank you.

@Molly McCullagh The term first appears in 1681[1] in reports of a London murder. The term came into wider circulation in 1695 after its mention by a character in William Congreve's play Love for Love, although the design is much older. It was probably so called in reference to its "claws", which inflict parallel wounds

I groaned when she said she liked FLW. Soulless, pretentious architecture, and the falling water house in PA is ugly blocks of concrete ruining a beautiful waterfall.
The stone decking is clever.
so this is what Clint Eastwood was up to before he started movies

I like the planting but the screens, sculpture and water feature are too modern for me. Must have cost a fortune though.

Can I ask how do you find this content, I'm trying to find the BBC TV series called "Hidden Gardens" from 2003 but have had no luck in finding any video content anywhere online.
A heckling presenter😅
The garden looks wonderful but the presenter has to go back to theatre to play hamlet.
God this guy is hard to take.
Why didn’t we see the conservatory? I was gypped ! Also - Thought the table and chairs could’ve been more modern/sculptural. Otherwise PERFECT.
"The shimmering bamboo dancing behind the gauze..." Um. Wha....?

wow I had no idea about this series of Small Town Gardens. 2003 and looking so contemporary. Beautiful. Not keen on the presenter who was a bit of a stereotyped gay man of that time. Nice that things have moved on in that respect.
It's hard to decide from this side of the pond, but do people in Britain actually like this James guy? It was only by sheer power of will that I made it to the end.

@cahenglsh - Don’t be so nasty. We Americans love Matt James. You should’ve seen his series The City Gardener many years back. He’s a genius.

What happens when the bamboo takes over

when bamboo is surrounded by lots of other strong rooted plants, it has no room to spread and if harvested/thinned out regularly, not a problem if a smaller types are chosen.

It really depends on the variety of bamboo. Some varieties are not aggressive spreaders.

I would have used the facing wall Aluminum faced water fall then planted featured drama plant s or trees that reflect on the water wall instead of table and chairs sunken alu. centre seating.for table centre changeable fire . Hers just look too much!
this can't be a very popular show, because this guy is so obnoxious! this is my first and last viewing ever

@Molly McCullagh The term first appears in 1681[1] in reports of a London murder. The term came into wider circulation in 1695 after its mention by a character in William Congreve's play Love for Love, although the design is much older. It was probably so called in reference to its "claws", which inflict parallel wounds

monumentally stupid to plant bamboo in a small garden. those walls would look spectacular with climbing roses and clematis on them , the trellises are already in place

It's a matter of taste. Roses can also look quite tacky
Well I like the fountain! Lol, those plants are all wrong for that space; that bamboo will completely choke out the entire yard, and it will be forever in permanent darkness lol. The plants are all way too close together and have no room to grow, it just seems way too cluttered just for the sake of spending money, lol. That is a beautiful fountain though

The fountain is ugly too.(bad quality) and you are absolutely right. Delicious.
Very claustrophobic. The sculpture won’t work, will get covered in grime and moss. Impossible to keep clean. Same with the screens. The plants will quickly grow too big.
Who wants to watch a bunch of snooty people going at each other? Not me!
john sinclair is so up himself ... he is worse now ... not watching anymore
The gaudy screens in front of the plants??? Just "no". And I thought the client didn't like the deck. ??? 🤷♀️
They could have painted the walls it would of looked much better.
She still is under shock.
This bloke is a knob, couldn't watch it as he got on my nerves!
The wall is nice
I kind of like the guy, he has a weird sense of humor!!!! now ,the screens not to my liking, but the owner likes it sooooo be it! OY Not fond of the metal sculpture either aaaaaaaa water feature is nice though bamboo is quite aggressive. Ok all and all I can do a great job on my own lol
The presenter is annoying and has nothing interesting to add. Blah.
She wanted "flamboyant" and ended up with BLAND!!!
omg what a horrible result. .. not inspiring at all and those screens ! XD
It was too long winded for me , didn't see the end
The host is redundant. Trying my patience here.
Not one flower out of the dirt.
