One of the loveliest videos I have watched in a while. Can’t tell you the pleasure I got from watching and it has inspired me with new planting ideas for my own garden. Thank you for sharing and for doing your bit for wildlife. ❤
Thank you for taking the time to watch and for your kind words. Good luck with your own Garden.
You're kind to make your garden a haven for the little wild denizens 🕊
I thought the same, Keith.
So beautifully done!!!! Congratulations on the awards!!!! Awesome!! You have a wonderful garden and the animals love sharing too!!! Thank you for sharing with us!!! 🌺✨❤🎄👑🌹🍁😀
Thank you for watching and for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the film.
Lovely. I am retired and have the thought that I am becoming one of the countless elders who keep gardening alive. I always gardened but there is greater depth of knowledge yet still experimenting with new plantings. This video speaks to our souls. Thank you from New Mexico.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. The reward for gardening is having all the wonderful wildlife visit us, so I love it. Always good to hear from a fellow gardener. Cheers,
What a little piece of heaven on Earth! Thank you for sharing your magical UK garden. It’s so beautiful and you’ve created a lovely place for yourself and all the wildlife in your backyard. You’ve probably been gardening in this place for many years and the film highlights your wonderful selection of plants along with a wonderful eye for design. Great camerawork too! This video made me very happy to watch and enjoy!
Thank you so much for your very kind words, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the film and our UK garden.
Absolutely enchanting! I enjoyed every moment of it, even the surprising doggy near the end
Thanks Patricia, glad you enjoyed it. The dog is our daughters, we were dog-sitting so I made the most of his stay lol
Great film. I envy you for your UK weather. Here in Eastern Oregon we have wildly fluctuating temperatures from 15° below zero to 110° in the summer. Thanks for sharing your lovely home.
Thank you for your kind comments, much appreciated and I'm so glad you enjoyed the film.
Thank you for sharing. Wonderful seeing the seasonal changes in Your garden. Great bird life.

This garden is a work of art! Every season it has major focal points! Who wouldn’t love every aspect of this garden? Obviously, all the animals, insects, & birds know it’s a sanctuary & a great source of food & shelter! Lovely garden in every way! Thank you for sharing your passion with us👍🏻🤗👏🏻

Такой профессионально сделанный фильм! Особенно замедленная съемка с животными меня впечатлила! Как все продуманно в вашем чудесном саду, каждая мелочь!И сколько труда и любви вложено! Всегда восхищаюсь трудолюбивыми людьми! Наверное потому, что у нынешнего молодого поколения праздность становится нормой!? Всех вам благ, главное здоровья и успехов в исполнении задуманного!

Ahh nous aussi avons eu de belles et surprenantes visites cet hiver: de grandes perruches à collier… qui apprécient les boules de graines, des mésanges des étourneaux, des pies… chacun son tour!😅
Merci d'avoir regardé mon film. J'aimerais bien voir vos perruches visiteurs un jour.

A very Zen delight! And what a treat to see birds I've never met before! A wonderful film about the garden, the seasons, inter-being (all the bugs, butterflies, frogs, birds of all stripes and the gardeners) and impermanence. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice comment,

Ah the sheer BEAUTY of it all! I am in awe of what you have done, and in greater awe of the MIND OF GOD who created all! thank you for posting this beauty in the midst of a world gone mad.
Thank you for watching and your lovely words.
Absolutely wonderful, such a variety of multi-coloured birds that we just don't see here in Canada. Each and every frame is interesting and very relaxing. Of course, having a temperate climate helps a lot. Beautifully filmed! I especially like the slow motion look at our feathered friends.
Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed my film over there in Canada. Thanks again.
Yay! It looks so much better now. I can hardly wait to see all the decorative additions. We’ll done!
Im assuming this comment wasnt meant to be on this video? lol
How lucky you are, and what a wonderful natural world you have created! Thank you for sharing it all with us 💚
Thank you for watching and yes we are lucky to be visited by all the wildlife that you saw.
A feast for the eyes and the tummies ❤

Excellent garden & photography. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my film.
Wonderful. It's my dream to have such a nice garden with prosperous plants and animals.
I'm sure you will get your dream. Thank you
Wow just amazing the variety of birds in one garden. Mine is mostly wee sparrows, starlings, magpies crows and the resident pigeons I love them all. Great video thanks
Thank you. Yes we are very lucky to have so many different varieties of birds visit us.
Paradise... A fairy tale.
Thank you, kind of you to say so.
Great video. Excellent job.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Wow, quite apart from the beautifully tended garden, this video is something of a masterpiece! So thoughtfully and skillfully put together, and it showcases the annual cycle of the garden and its visitors really well. Stunning. Although, I confess, I realised that you were next-level when, in May, you dusted the waterfall stones! Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you Richard and too funny about the waterfall. In my defence it does get really dirty over the winter lol
I loved the slow motion shots of the birds and the puppy jumping was great!
Thank you. My March video will have slo-motion squirrels!
Bravo! What wonderful observation and photography, not to give short shrift to the wonderful gardening going on there. 💚💚💚
Thank you very much
Fascinated by the year in the garden. Just lovely!
Thanks for watching
So heart warming to see & hear all that is happening there.
Thanks for watching
How I enjoyed this! Replanted from the midwest US to the high desert in Arizona.......I am replenished and refreshed watching this. I need to move on to greener pastures! Thank you SO much for this beautiful few minutes. I could have watched for hours. PS Even though I've gotten used to what I call "Havvy Hour" when the Havelina's come to visit daily........I know in my heart this is not for me.
Thanks for watching and I'm pleased it had that effect on you. You will have to make your own short film called 'Javelina Happy Hour' lol. Im sure you are fed up of seeing them, but Im always interested in wildlife elsewhere even if they are eating up your yard lol.
This film is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it with me.
My pleasure, thank you for watching
What a tremendously fun film. Very well done. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Gratefull for sharing this film it's just what I adore best out of everything🌷🌺🌻🌹☺️
Thank you for watching Frances
This is delightful, especially the birds. Thankyou. From Australia.
Thank you for watching down under!
Oh, My Gosh!!!! What a beautiful piece of work. Congratulations! Thank you for showing your heaven and teaching the world how a beautiful garden can also play a role in the conservation of local especies.
Thank you for watching, glad you liked the film and our garden
I love British wildlife and I have more or less the same garden visitors in my front and back garden. I never mow the lawn! Maybe you could have less manicured lawn and more wildflowers. I tend to buy only buy wildlife-friendly plants now, it's such a pleasure to see animals in the garden. I also love my garden foxes and parakeets (a recent addition!) and just last week I saw what I think must be a hawk or other bird of pray. I put all my kitchen scrap on the surface of the soil, I don't dig it in or wait for it to decompose in a compost heap. Thank you very much for a charming and beautifully produced video, your love for nature and animals shines through
Thank you for your detailed insight into your own garden and thanks for watching. I'm definitely thinking this year I will let some of the lawn grow wild.
So Magical 🌹🌺🌷🙆💖 Like therapy for the Soul ~ Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
👍👍👍👍
Just so beautiful and the music is the perfect match. Thank you.

Beautiful video, have watched it 3 times now, so much to see. So well made and inspiring, such a wonderful garden.
Than you, I really appreciate your kind words.
Just lovely, I am sharing this with all my gardening friends here in the Pacific Northwest. Our climate is similar to yours, I see many familiar flowers. But your birds are quite different, what a treat!!
Thank you for watching and sharing. Much appreciated.

☀️Thank you. Very nice video. l
❤ed all the close ups and insects.
You put a lot of work into your lovely garden..
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the film
Such a beautiful video. Incredible camera work. Quite the nicest thing I’ve seen on You tube. Nice to be taken away from all the doom and gloom. I am lucky enough to have a nice wildlife garden here in Central Scotland and love all my birds and my red squirrel who sometimes comes around. My climate can sometimes be a challenge but love all the seasons which for me progresses from snowdrops, aconites, hellebores, daffies, tulips, bluebells, roses, clemetice , etc, etc all making life wonderful. Thank you again for this inspirational video which I have saved to watch over and over again.
Thank you for your kind words, I'm jealous that you get the occasional visit from a Red Squirrel
Just lovely. Month to month and beautiful music set to the beautiful scenes. Your birds were amazing, where I am in the states, we only have a handful of truly beautiful birds.
Thank you for watching, we are lucky to have such a variety of birds visit our garden
That was so beautiful and entertaining without saying ONE WORD!! Thank you for the serenity of it.
Thank you for watching. My wife taught me not to say anything lol

Beautiful and magical garden, thanks ❤❤❤
Thank you and thanks for watching
Absolutely wonderful film, just what I needed right now! Thank you for helping all plants and animals and for sharing!
Thank you. It's a two-way thing, the birds and plants help me enjoy my day.
Wow, that was exquisitely done! I throughly enjoyed it & you have left me in awe of your garden as well as your video skills. It’s also made me just a wee bit envious as well. Well on go my gardening gloves, because ya’ll are “Gardening Goals”! Thank you for all the hard work you did in both your garden and the video, It has started my day off great. With much respect and admiration from Austin, Texas.
Always happy to hear from Austin, I used to live in Round Rock for three years so I know gardening goals can be a bit different over there in the heat. Thanks for watching.
Very inspiring and beautiful film. Loved the filming and the feeling of your working the garden and enjoying it. Also great music. 🌼🌸🍀
Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind comments
