- Yup, the secret garden is a disaster! I haven't given it the attention and TLC it deserves over the last few months... and it shows! So today, there's no nice clothes, no well-planned segments, just me working in the mess secret garden and I'm bring you along on the autumn clear-up!

I enjoy these kind of segments- the practical and real aspect of gardening. It shows the hard work that goes into keeping a garden healthy and aesthetically pleasing. Thank you so much for sharing.
No problem Kelley - and it’s great that you enjoy this kind of content too! I think I’ll try and show more of it… there’s certainly plenty more of that kind of thing to be done! 😂
Happy to report that even your garden disasters are nothing to stress over. A wee tidy and everything is lovely again :D
I'd say I'm gonna be busy this Autumn with a lot of garden tidying to keep the place looking ship-shape this year... so much growth!!
It doesn't matter what you show your videos are always pretty and green and alive!
That's really kind of you, thanks! 😃
I'm happy to hear your advise on pruning, too often I see advice and demonstrations on hacking away at it. Sometimes just taking away a small portion of the weight will make the rest of the branch pop up out of the way. Well I'd rather be out tidying up the garden than washing up a sink full of dishes!!!
Totally agree Jeffrey! I'm a big believer in working bit by bit. I always think of that phrase about being able to cut more off, but not being able to cut something back on! 😂
You work so much in your garden - puts me to shame, and still mine gets away from me! Thanks for "keeping it real" in this video. We all have projects we've neglected. Great inspiration to just get back out there and do some more!
I wish I could say all the work was because I simply wanted to be doing it! Unfortunately some of it is just hard slog since the garden is so big! 😂
Great video of a real gardener in real gardening clothes doing a large gardening project. You reminded me why we don’t have a pond! Eeeww!! 😁
Haha! Thanks Doreen! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Wow!! Nail, I didn't know that you have got a beautiful secret garden. I imagine that you also feel very light after clearing all that clatter. Good job.
Yeah it feels much better! I love the secret garden area - so private and secluded!
Great job Niall, all that hard work paid off. Duck weed is a nightmare, leave it for a week or so, after clearing, it's back again. Love your videos ❤
It's crazy quite how quickly it regrows isn't it?!!
Great tidy up! Enjoyed watching you crispen up the box hedge, those sharp edges work so well with your soft planting 💚🌿
Yeah I love those little box hedges!
Looks amazing again 🌸💕🌸
I really enjoyed watching this tidy up Niall 😃
Thanks so much Liz, glad you liked it! ❤️
Loved the Secret Garden in your opening monologue with the mower behind you! I wanted to put a hammock in there. Looks like it has loads of privacy, something that I do not have here. Looks wonderful.
Ah thanks - yeah it's such a lovely secluded little spot... and a hammock is a very good idea actually!
What an amazing difference! It's like a garden makeover. These kinds of projects are so rewarding. Omg that pond was soooo green hahaha. Its a pretty color though.
Hahaha you looked a bit scary with the trimmer hahaha. That red maple is gorgeous!
You did a lot, and it looks wonderful. Well done.
Thanks! Yeah isn't it amazing the amount of change can happen in an afternoon? The pond is so much clearer now! Oh yeah, I love a good pair of hedge trimmers!
Great progress!! Such a beautiful secret garden!! 😍
Thanks so much Sandra, glad you enjoyed the video!
The garden looks nice with fruits..thanks for sharing
You're welcome! Thanks!
Good pruning advice!
Cheers!
Great video! I found your channel a few weeks ago and I've been making my way through all your videos. Your cinematography & editing is brilliant I feel like I'm watching Gardeners World!
I've learned so much from you already, thank you 🙂
Awesome, thank you! That's such a lovely thing to say, delighted that you're enjoying them!
Great video. I enjoyed watching it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Eilish! ❤️
Great video Niall, as always! It's lovely to see 'reality' in a garden, and the work that's needed to keep it. You have done a brilliant job, and as you said, once the tidy up is done, it's easier to get out and maintain it. Have a lovely week :)
Ah thanks Vivian! I like to have a mix of videos - tutorial stuff, tours, etc... but it's great to drop in some reality every so often!
Niall you’re absolutely right about just making a start, when you step back and enjoy the results it’s a great feeling and it really does spur you on. Like you I’ve taken my eye off the ball and paying the price now 🤦🏼♀️ this was my second summer for veg growing and my first for flowers so I’m constantly feeling out of my depth but you’ve inspired me to get back out there!
That's so lovely that the video has fired you up to get back out there! Go for it, and enjoy!
Awesome awesome video Niall, so good to see before / after and during in a video like this 😁 got absolutely loads done in one afternoon!
Ah thanks so much dude! Really chuffed that you enjoyed it!
Well done Niall,if anything else you have urged us on to get our stuff in order. Great to see the start of your autumn work. Just added to my to do list.
Awesome, thank you Lorraine! There's certainly still A LOT more to be done around here! 😂
Great rescue!
Cheers!
I love your secret garden and am now inspired to grow one!
I think you’d love it - having a secluded area feels so special and a bit luxurious
@@niallgardens Yes, I love the 18th century gardens with their enclosed areas and mystery!
I understand completely. I like to do my garden everyday, just to stay on it!
But yours is really large. And now it looks so much more picturesque
You've got the right idea by staying on top of your garden constantly. I could do with doing the same!
Very Nice🌳🌲🌱👍
Thanks very much!
nice garden
Thank you!
I love your soothing videos- just discovered you. All your cool green is a lovely counter balance to the arid, drought here in California. Thank you 😊
Oh thank you! That's so cool that you found the channel! Brilliant, welcome!
@@niallgardens hey, just Gathered my supplies to begin composting this very minute- before the temperature rises to 95° today lol. I am not endeavoring on your homemade composter just yet, but I am getting started using a plastic bin I found as an experiment. You’re very motivating thanks again
@@WalktheLake Sounds like a plan! Let me know how everything goes!
Gosh all I see is that beautiful backdrop!
Yeah it's a gorgeous part of the garden isn't it?
Nice pilant tips
Thanks!
Hey everyone! Let me know what you think! How did I get on?! 😃
I loved, loved, loved this video Niall It was fantastic from beginning to end. I loved seeing the before and after shots with you doing the work in between, and of course you have a secret garden...I WANT ONE! Haha! I have a shaded sloped area in my garden and am wanting a ground cover shrub. Would the Miniature Bamboo be good planted in there do you think?? Thank you so much for sharing this video and being honest. You really do encourage me Niall to get out in the garden!! x
Thanks so much Geraldine! I'm not sure I'd ever recommend a bamboo to anyone unless they'll be keeping it in a pot. They're lovely plants, but they can just be so aggressively rampant that you might fall out with me for recommending it! 😂
@@niallgardens thanks so much for getting back to me. I think I'll give the bamboo a miss 🙈. I shall research further 🤔. How could I ever, ever fall out with you!!!! 😊
Well done on the TV appearance this morning Niall. Shame they wedge you in at the end, but in fairness you did great.
Cheers dude! It's great fun getting to be part of the show!
Wow love the secret garden area, hmm bamboo has one place 😂😂 jungles of Borneo I would never have it in my yard it’s too invasive and I don’t find it nice looking at all. Is there anything living in your pond this year I know you were hoping to attract frogs. It will be nice to see the changes thank you for sharing ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe
I totally agree with you on the bamboo - it's such a thug! We do have frogs in both the back and front ponds. We get much more in the back garden pond, but there's the occasional one in the secret garden pond 😃👍
Bless you :D I love secret gardens they're great :D
Duck Weed is edible and is fantastic to dehydrate and turn into a green powder for smoothies and other things. It can be used like a mini micro spinach as well :D :D :D
Great job hun xox
I never knew about the duckweed being edible! No way! That's so cool!
@@niallgardens it really is and handy too 💙🧚♀️💙
If that's what you call a disaster, I'd hate for you to see my garden! 😂 I've been off my feet for five weeks with a bad knee and my non-gardening husband has had to keep up with it. He's doing the best he can but I am always seeing a job needing done.
Sorry to hear about your knee - hope it improves for you soon!
@@niallgardens Aww, thanks so much!
C'est beaucoup mieux comme cela, tu as bien fait de couper et de nettoyer le bassin
Merci Roger! 😃❤️
Is Gardens in the name of your channel a noun or a verb? (I.e. did you name your garden after yourself?)
Hahaha! It's the verb! i.e. it's me, and I'm gardening!
