The 40-year evolution of Xa Tollemache's Suffolk garden | Notes from a Garden

- čas přidán 27. 07. 2022
- When Xa Tollemache came to live at Helmingham Hall in Suffolk, the home of her husband's family for 500 years, she knew nothing about gardens. After learning the fundamentals from Helmingham’s head gardener, she became thoroughly involved in the design and planting, and eventually launched her hugely successful career as a garden designer. Here she talks us through some of the aspects of the garden at Helmingham in midsummer, including the rose garden she planned and planted in 1982, the famous walled garden with its long borders and vegetable gardens, and the new woodland garden she laid out twenty years ago. Now that Xa and her husband have moved to a smaller house nearby, Helmingham is run by her son Edward and his wife Sophie. The gardens are open to the public throughout the summer.

LOVE THIS GARDEN. Especially love the spiral flower bed. I may have to copy this.
Utterly stunning & peaceful. I could quite easily watch videos like this all day. I particularly love the wild flowers. Nature doing it’s magic.
What I liked about this garden is that there were several ideas that could be used in a smaller garden.
My clients who love historic properties would truly appreciate this home! I love the way perennials and annuals are cleverly mixed with fillers and foliage. No need to visit the grocer, delicious fruits and veggies are plentiful here!
Breath-taking. Beautiful gardens really feel like heaven on Earth and I'm in such admiration of good garden designers and gardeners. The discipline, the knowledge, the hard work, the sense of good judgement...absolutely stunning. Thank you for featuring Xa's truly magnificent family home.
what a beautiful and lovely garden
my jaw dropped several times watching this!! Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
My kind of garden. I loved this, much gratitude. 🌻
You can visit the garden, and it’s every bit as beautiful in real life!
This garden is amazing! I loved the combination of the structured beds and vegetable patches and the unstructured foliage patches. Amazing indeed. Well done
Visited this beautiful garden for the first time last week. Absolutely heaven! X
So inspiring! I’m heading to the nursery! Thank you. She’s wonderful.
Wow, amazing gardens! I'd be really interested to know more of the logistics: how many gardeners does she employ, what sort of watering system, etc. Also, A MOAT AND TWO DRAWBRIDGES?! We NEED to see the home!
It’s jolly nice that you appreciate the garden but I will never understand why people always demand more, it’s the very height of vulgarity, don’t you think the fact that the house is not revealed says something?
@@ronniealex5523 Lol, calling my curiosity the “height of vulgarity” is perhaps the “height of exaggeration”. I can think of things far more vulgar in this day and age. Sorry I struck a nerve, just loving it all and wishing for more information.
@@rocklobstah1876 Well, doesn’t deter me. I’m from Texas, we love us some taxidermy!
@@rocklobstah1876 Agree, I have never understood the appreciation of using dead animals as art. Horrifying really!
You can visit! It’s beautiful! (The house is exactly as you see it)
Absolutely love. Bravo!
WOW love this! just gorgeous ♥️
This isFantastic, Original 🏆

I want to see inside the house.

Just lovely
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Glorious
So beautiful so amazing
I wish you filmed inside her home as well
It’s not filmed for a reason
Yes
Потрясающий сад! интересно сколько времени понадобилось для создании плана посадок?
I agree with last comment...how many gardeners are employed and what about interviewing them to get a real idea on the upkeep and tips on growing and maintaining. My garden is small because that is all I can manage. Beautiful garden tho'.
My friend lives there
Visionary. Will you acquire Gertrude's other boot?!
When can I move in? ;)
Mr David Nicholls, deputy editor of ‘House and Garden’ (UK), designed a pictograph of stick-figure corpses arranged in a numbered grid of columns and rows. “Connect the Jews!” was his joke. Ask him about it. Ask him if it’s true. Because it is. That’s the kind of person who’s rating your bedsheets.
Well, she’s trying. Just like me and the rest of us.

Every house needs a moat.
if i was a tollemache and knocked on the door would they let me in
Would have preferred listening to the head gardener instead.
