I absolutely loved Jam and his garden, I would've loved to be his friend. What a beautiful soul. For those wondering, he lost his battle against the Housing Association and was evicted from his Preston flat and moved to London shortly thereafter. He sadly passed away at the age of 70 from cancer in 2020. If you take anything away from this video, live more like Jam. Bright, courageous, uninhibited and passionate - I'm sure his personality captured here will continue to inspire and endear him to the millions watching this documentary.

[@carolcamp4828]

That is so tragic to hear Jam was evicted. That HO probably broke his heart. He created an environment that elevated the lives of those around him & evil people had to destroy that. That is so wrong! & very sad😢.

Oh, how sad, he had a lovely garden and seemed like such a nice person

[@janinedevilliers510]

😭😭 I'm heartbroken too hear this. Thank you letting us know. I watched this video and loved his kind, creative nature. All he wanted, after witnessing such horror, is to have a little joy and a place to create a beautiful home. People are so nasty and cruel. Why doesn't the garden shop get destroyed for selling such so called vile statues. There was nothing at all wrong with his beautiful garden, it improved the property and brought joy to a drab and depressing building. I believe we are spirits and souls having a human experience. And now I hope that Jam is finally at peace, on the other side in the most loving, peaceful place. Take care. 🎶💐🙏

Oh no that is just too sad for words. I loved him and his beautiful garden. They literally killed him by taking him away from his beautiful garden. It was bringing him and others in the community joy why remove him so cruelly.

There's an old saying - do as you would be done by. The reason is everything truly is one & connected, so everything we do to someone else we are really doing to ourself. Karma is the cause & effect that any pain we inflict on another we will have to experience at some point in our infinite existence. If this was truly understood people would be a lot nicer to each other!

So often you see tenants trash the places they rent. It’s refreshing to see tenants that take pride in the places they rent by caring for them and personalizing them.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

Thing is, what you will find is that council tenants seem to think the property belongs to them and do things like knock walls through and embark on major renovations and modifications not grasping the property does not belong to them and they have a tenancy agreement they must abide by. They MUST return the property to it's original state it was when they moved in but most of the time when moving out they simply leave the residence in the state they turned it into and guess who foots the bill for returning it to it's original uninhabited state for the next renters? TAX PAYERS.

I am blown away by the wonderful freedom, creativity and craftsmanship of these people!! Once I painted a mural in a London council flat on the 18th floor. I renvated the rest on a shoestring as I was just a "visiting friend", and yes it probably sold for a premium because of it a few years later. The only example of a council flat turned paradise I know personally is on a council estate outside Brussels. The couple created an exotic garden with a grotto/water fall and everything inside is so bijou you would fancy yourself in the lap of luxury! Passersby are stunned by it and I suspect they love to invite admirers in like they did me. I have lived in my own property outside Brussels for 20 years and have put my personal colourful and artistic stamp on the entire house and garden, though nowhere near on the scale of these artists. In my previous rented flat I was always obliged by contract to return the place as rented (white, boring, standard) and the real structural improvements were never refunded inspite of promises to the contrary. These clauses put a real damper on my creativity and I put my energy on building and painting things for my son instead like a big puppet theatre and a house under the stairs that had to be dismantled of course.

I was having a panic attack before I saw this documentary. Watching these ppl experience happiness in the small things has helped breathe again. Especially the sun flower scene, it gave me hope for a better day. Thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️.

Wow, some excellent artwork… these people are quite unique and talented

[@cindiemoore2530]

Adrian is such an amazing individual. The fact that he finds beauty in other people's cast offs is especially wonderful. He says he knew there was something wrong with him but looking at his spectacular art there is something very very right with him.

[@pattykelly6621]

Personally, I love how these places look. They are homes. Cared for, cherished, loved. But stereotypes and prejudices die hard everywhere. Pity

The love of that mother for her son is so evident. It’s beautiful, and so heartbreaking

[@snufflypoo]

I hope Jam gets to keep his garden - it's beautiful!

[@joannayeo9545]

Agree, it must have been a great diversion for his horrific memories.

[@sarahjeaneluna8547]

Jam is my Jam! What a delightful human being. A wonderful soul!

[@jyzilvz]

Very much enjoyed this. Thank you to them all for sharing their homes and stories. A wonderful bunch of people with amazing homes, I loved them all.

This inspired me to be more creative with my space and express my true self. That Iranian man was so sweet but real. I've always been a loner and suspected I had Asperger's. When the woodworker expressed that he always thought there was something wrong with him and that he was a terrible person but found out he had Asperger's, I felt ok about myself for the first time. I've tried to fit into a mold and be likable but was never able to do it so gave up and just decided to be me. My family has stuck with me through it all. I appreciate that and love them for it. I loved this video!

'We live in constant hope'; best thing I've heard in ages.

[@TrickyS92]

You can tell that Barry really loved his mother . Bless him

[@tessrnwannagoplaces1995]

I think this is beautiful and allowed them to express themselves in their own uniqueness. I love it.

[@deezildee4556]

This whole show just made me smile, these people are so incredible. What energy & talent in so many different ways, and so expressive. We all need a bit of this in our lives & I think we'd all be much happier people (myself included). I'm so inspired 🙏❤️

[@marywilson8733]

I love and respect these wonderful people your homes are fantastic

[@rebajohnson8035]

The cabinet makers home is absolutely stunning , he could leave it to me! I'm glad you found your diagnosis, hopefully you have found your community. Sending love, hugs, and prayers your way!❤️

[@MarcBirks]

Roberts painting is nothing short of incredible wow, what dude!!!!! I feel bad for him not discovering it earlier guy would by now be a multi multi millionaire.

[@GypsyGirl317]

I agree. 👍🏾 He's incredibly talented! 😊

[@Stressed_PhD_0831]

I'm speechless. What they've done to these houses is absolutely stunning!

[@josephlloyd9636]

What a lovely perspective!! How wonderful are these creative folks!!

[@lburgess63]

Robert is amazingly talented. And the fact he's largely self-taught, holy smoke. I hope this programme gave him the recognition he deserves.

[@CurtalA]

Molly seems like such an interesting person, I'd love to just chat with her. The fact she hit rock bottom as a penniless alcoholic, and used painting and creativity as a way to beat her addiction and find peace is awe inspiring.

[@kerrybobs]

Me too, she marches to the beat of her own drum & has led an eccentric, fascinating life by the sounds of things. Im glad for her that she seems content with her lot & can while the time away in her little oasis reminising of years gone by.

[@NebulaBull]

I would love to read Molly's life story, her honesty and openness about the wonderful ups and downs of her life is a breath of fresh air, I hope to be a Molly in my 80's!

[@tlw3268]

Adrian's home is magic, so good he isn't ordinary. What a wonderful, unique and talented human being he is.

[@shawnaellcey6970]

I am pleased with the result as well Robert!!! Absolutely beautiful art! You go man!!! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ and the cabinet maker’s place! Wow! The 11th floor view isn’t too shabby. I think these places are gorgeous.

[@myamdane6895]

Adrian's flat absolutely took my breath away... it's gorgeous!

[@andreavassell6830]

[@brittany1679]

I love their passion for their art and attention to detail. I love them all. I would love to be their neighbors.
