- In the first of our new series, Notes from a Garden, we visit garden designer Arthur Parkinson at the Cotswold cottage he shares with his partner, interior designer James Mackie. In two years, Arthur has transformed the tiny space from the building site left behind after the cottage was extended, to a lush, abundant garden that is also a haven for wildlife. Here he talks us through the highlights in June, including his romantic border full of foxgloves and roses, his approach to planting in containers, how to care for sweet peas, and the keys to successful shade planting.

"...a plant that you've known from seed..." What a beautiful way of expressing his love for his garden!
It is. Sometimes I forget when I look up at a grove of towering Roystonea olercea palm trees that I have known them from a few tiny seeds lying scattered on the mossy ground of a damp park in Singapore after a heavy tropical rain. They do become so much a part of you. However rather suddenly they're these things all in their own right that leave you in so much awe your part in it all seems rather insignificant to be honest. What can be grown out of small zip lock bags filled with tiny seed collected around the world can be truly astounding. The miracle of a seed, yes.
I love every video produced on this channel. Captures the warmth and sensitivity of each designer and their passion for their work. Arthur is as charming as his garden.
👍👍👍💓
I’ve always wished Arthur had a CZcams channel so I could see around his garden, so glad I came across this video! If anyone hasn’t read his books go buy them - you won’t regret it.
I've got them all and wish too that he had a channel..we could all learn lessons about how he cares for the environment and how to plant in a small space to help pollinators
He has an instagram account and is a prolific poster on there! :)
@@DMAN-ey1nb I've followed him for ages. I await patiently for pictures of his garden haha
Yess this is what I think of when English gardens pops to mind, less lawns more this!
Loved Arthur's enthusiasm and care for this beautiful little garden. The interior is beautiful as well. Perhaps you can do a short video of the interior in the future?
you may already know this but the website does have lots of lovely interior pics! though I would also welcome a video
I would love to see the interior of this home, if possible. The chair and rug are perfection, imo.
I agree, I fell for the blue upholstered sofa frim the first frame!
A real home, complete with the must have washing line. It is lovely that they really appreciate the age and original character of the property.
My heart aches when people comletely modernise and destroy an older property.
Especially given the fact that there are a lot more modern properties available, it's so destructive to depreciate irreplaceable history and beauty.
I especially like that he cares for the environment, bees etc., as seen in his favourite dahlias, the lovely ivy etc. Ivy is great for insect and bird life indeed. And it is pretty.
Dream house, dream garden 😍 I wish he had a CZcams channel!
Wow what a house, what a garden. I love everything Arthur does, just beautiful
It certainly is a beautiful way to enrich our lives. Gardening 🥰
Wow this is so idyllic, I absolutely love their cottage it is wonderful what he's done with the garden.
I am moving from a 2000 m2 garden, an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard, all planted, fruit trees, climbing roses, figs, lavendar etc and into a smaller houser with an innder courtyard and 4m2 of earth ! I have just dug up my peonies and a recent vine and next will be a rose and jasmin as the house will remain empty once I leave. I have plans to extend the planting area and have already some big olive trees in pots and a silver birch. I potted up the fig tree and pomegranit tree as the base structure of the planting but first have to build up the planting area to a good height otherwise my little terriers will have a field day ! I know that I will miss my garden but I love a challenge and there are plenty of green spaces to walk the dogs despite moving into a townhouse. Arthur is such an inspiration.
Flowers, books, photographs and good lamps is all any room needs to instantly look chic and feel wonderful.
Very beautiful. Loved ending with the clothes hanging outside.
The garden is amazing ❤️
And I could listen to him read the phone book, great voice.
I adore this garden and his love for it, too. The sweetpeas are so happy and huge and the rest are all my favorites, foxglove, roses even an artichoke! I'm wondering where is the peony, there must be a peony, right? Lovely, lovely!
The garden is beautiful and it reflects all the time and effort you put into it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I’ve been waiting for an Arthur video and it didn’t disappoint!! 😍
I absolutely love this ... I've watched it over and over!! Love the common sense approach. ❤👍🇬🇧
Clothesline at the end. Brilliant
Wow, what a talented guy, so knowledgeable. He has created the most beautiful garden! 👍
WOW, stunning garden and what a charming couple! Please do a video of the interior of the house one day!
What a lovely garden, and beautiful life!
I just love this garden. Thank you for sharing with us. 😊
Beautiful. I've never seen a willow fence that looks like theirs, but I love the look.
Thirty seconds a pot. I admire his commitment to that. My bald head would need some shade to sit at that lovely table. The ferns are gorgeous.
Love this haha. You make sure you have a good hat this summer
Love your dedication, sensitivity , knowledge and explanations of the garden .
So beautiful I am so inspired!
Be well!
Love Arther, full stop. Great to see his home Lots of love neighbour XXX
Merci, Arthur and James! Delicious...
Arthur is a wonderfully passionate gardener. You can tell this is totally organic to him...such a lovely home!
“Safe from sloogs” 😂 I like the hands-on watering with the garden.
Everything about this home screamed taste. A great deal of thought has been put into every single thing both inside and outside. No naff pvc windows for them, but hand crafted windows and doors. What a beautiful life.
Aw that was lovely ✨
Always love seeing garden videos on this channel 💜 so inspiring!
Aww, I love them and their sweet garden!
Beautiful garden, really lovely video, now I know how to grow sweet peas, mine were a disaster this year!! Thank you Arthur, gorgeous house. 🤗
Well said Arthur. I am literally the plants I grow. I eat them so I know them and they know me. We are biologically connected. There genes run in my blood, they maintain and rebuild me, we resow and the off spring of plants I have eaten already know me before they germinate
When the break the soil it's like looking at an old friend.
They grow well because they know my intention. They understand me and are happy that I spend time with them, that I am interested
Lovely space thanks for sharing
I love the tribute to you mom. I learned my love of garden and nature from mine as well. ❤️. What a warm, beautiful space you have created. I have watched it twice now! I am going to try increasing the compost under my sweet peas to see if I can improve my success. Thank you for the tour and information.
This video is the definition of CHARM, everything about this garden both the sun and shade is inviting! Would be lucky to have a fraction of the beauty of this space.
Lovely garden and great commentary and presentation. Thank you.
❤I‘ve only just discovered Arthur and I’m so pleased. I absolutely love his approach to the garden. Thank you so much
What a soul! 😍 Please more content with Arthur!
a beautiful stylish amazing garden enjoyed the video .
Such a beautiful garden!
Lovely work Arthur, your Mum would no doubt love it. Inspiring. Thank you.
Such a lovely garden. Beautiful home.
Truly joyful. How precious to have such a gorgeous space.
I love the foxgloves and the willow fence.
Loved seeing this type of garden, when space can be such a restrictive element - this is just inspiring!
What a charming cottage & garden. Absolutely love potted plants 🪴 so French. Cute garden to enjoy & have lunch in.
A truly beautiful garden, in the Cotswolds no doubt. Such an absolute dream. I appreciate all the work that goes into the garden, and of course the beauty also. The entranceway and the house are equally stunning. Gosh I’m in love. 🌸🪴
Hello Arthur,
A big thumb up to your creative idea and aesthetic taste! An intensive planting in a small area with much love and experience. Thank you for sharing this beautiful garden. Greeting from San Francisco
Thanks for adding in how you water. I was wondering if had some type of irrigation. I know pots need watering daily, if not twice in the Summertime heat! Lovely home. Love the Sweet Peas in the vase! I need to plant some. I've thought about it, this confirmed it! Thanks for sharing 👍
this is true artistry
Here one can see real passion and knowledge. Great garden. Congrats!
What a magical garden
Thank you for sharing your lovely garden with us, and educating us, as well. Your passion and knowledge really helps us to share your enthusiasm. Love everything about your lovely space, and the beautiful way it was all explained.
Very inspiring!
Thank you! 🌺🌼🌸
Enchanting! Thank you so much for inviting us in. Wonderful for me that you explained your process for growing sweet peas! Learned what I'm doing wrong and will surely have a healthy bed of the dainties next year!
An inspiring first Notes from a Garden. Well done Arthur, James, Luca Lamaro & team!
Full of lovely colors! Wish to be there to enjoy looking at every flower.
Idealic joy to be surrounded by flowers. Wonderful clip. Inspired me to potter around my garden!
Pleasure given by a garden cannot be measured..the centre of what can be your universe...pleasured by plants I call it..thankyou for sharing..
So lovely, so educational, and so inspiring!
Yes, I would love to see an interior episode of this stunning cottage!
That was inspiring! What a gorgeous place.
🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨🌾 I love your garden!! Such a great inspiration to me as I am just also a gardener and CZcams creator. I can see you put a lot of work and love into growing! All the hard work is worth it to me to get to see the new growth everyday it brings me so much joy! I still have so much to learn and I appreciate your tips, tricks! Keep sharing! I hope we can learn more about gardening from each other.
Lovely presentation
the garden is charming and warm, and his knowledge is intriguing and captivating. he knows an abundance of things but speaks in a way where I want to go research all that he shared and get my hands to work.
this was shot so beautifully and it is all so dreamy!
Gorgeous and really inspiring. Also a lovely house and interiors. Just YUM! Thankyou.
