I adore a wild garden and I’ve noticed birds and insects do also. If you plant a hybrid next to a “weed” the wild plant will be covered with pollinators and wildlife and the hybrid a few or not at all. I applaud what they are doing here and would love to see more of this project.😊

I so appreciate her attitude and dedication, and am encouraged by the knowledge that she has some level of control over so much acreage. This must surely make a positive impact. I recall (though perhaps I shouldn't admit doing it) sending some California Poppy seeds to my cousins in Berkshire. Their garden was too lush for those desert flowers to thrive. They shared them with their daughter who lived in W. Sussex, where they did wonderfully. She told me they came back every year for almost a decade. I was not aware of the current water scarcity in the area; it sounds so much like California, where we are coming out of a very long drought. In North America (including Canada), many areas have added wildlife crossings where the natural corridors are interrupted. They now number almost 1,000. Highways that cross the U.S. are a huge problem, so underpasses and bridges planted with native species have allowed everything from bears, elk, and wolves, to lizards and mice to cross safely. I'm very excited that the largest wildlife crossing (the overpass will span 10 lanes of Los Angeles freeway) is set to open in early 2026. In particular, this will allow mountain lions (also called puma or cougar) to cross from the San Gabriel Mountains to Santa Monica, allowing previously separated groups of animals to breed. They are at the top of the food chain; what is good for mountain lions is good for all wildlife. As always, thank you Bunny, for allowing us to meet so many wonderful people who love the land. :)

What a fascinating comment, I learnt a lot and had never realised that highways stopped movement like that, though I suppose it’s obvious really. Many thanks - will now search Wildlife Crossings’ on KZbin! Thank you. ☺️

@@bunnyguinness You are most welcome. I'm glad to share this information about what I'm sure is a world-wide issue. The official name for the Los Angeles project is the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, which provides "habitat linkage". Check out the story of P-22, the Hollywood mountain lion.

@@SpanishEclectic I'm so glad to know this. A ten lane highway is a most efficient (and tragic) barrier to the natural movement of animals. Good that something is finally being done to give the animals a chance to survive.

I have a small garden and love to let wild plants grow to see what they will do if allowed. Have gotten some amazing and unique results that way. Wild plants are a gift from nature. Sowing my edible plants among the other things makes for more biodiversity and provides many enjoyable surprises. People are surprised by the wildness of my garden and given that their personalities aren't too rigid, often come back from exploring very pleased with their experience. Lots of places of quiet enjoyment. If you want to see elaborately trimmed and boundup structures go to Versailles.

So very interesting. I would love to see a garden/grounds that fall somewhere in the middle between what’s featured here and a typically very kept, pruned landscape. The pool area is just too wild and overgrown for me. I need baby steps, lol!
@katellaАй бұрын
Suggestion: baby step 1: plant vegetables and herbs in with your existing plants, let them intermingle, taking what you need and leaving the rest.

Wow very informative videos and eye opening to what we all need to do for the environment. I watch another channel which whilst I enjoy seeing the beauty, it does concern me. They water daily, use so much fertiliser (weekly) and the bags of soil/compost used just scares me when considering where is all that plastic going. Everything looks lovely but it does worry me.

Looking forward to the newest episode Bunny! I don't want to be adding to some of the not so constructive comments about audio other than to suggest that I like the DJI Mic kit (I would link it but I think my comment gets flagged) it can sync with your existing camera setup also and is the most popular one right now on the market. The podcast audio is nice fwiw!
@bunnyguinness2 ай бұрын
With the DJI mic kit, can you split the sound channels when editing on Davinci? As I can’t with Rode, so when the mics loose signal like they did here, I can’t do anything with the sound, that doesn’t make it worse. Many thanks Unity

This approach does attract polar views on it, but I do think the general shift towards less tidy more naturalist gardens is gaining popularity. What I love about gardening is you can adopt a style that you enjoy and works for you. No need to slavishly follow trends 🐇

Honestly, the gardens shown do not look well. They look as though they’ve been abandoned and overgrown. We do need to rethink how we garden and some of the concepts are excellent, but can we please be truthful about this type of thing. There’s no point in pretending that this works when it simply looks like a mess. Its a case of the emperor’s new clothes- nobody seems to have the courage to call it out

I’m simply pointing out that these particular gardens, for all of the well intentioned effort, don’t look well. Obviously these things are subjective but that’s my view. There is room for rewilding in the right places and when done to scale. These gardens are in my opinion an example of overdoing it. I don’t want to offend anyone, but I do think that we need an honest discussion about these things. Give me more traditional formality, structure and style - and then by all means introduce areas where drought tolerant plants and pollinators can thrive.
