I always learn from your videos as you are extremely talented. Thank you Bunny for sharing.

[@davidgamache3035]

Love the "bunny" shirt.

[@martiknapp762]

I love your work, and how wonderful to be able to work with your daughter. Thank you for these. Videos they are very helpful!

[@melissatran338]

The Rose garden is breathtaking. My favorite. So beautiful!

[@cassandraberger9146]

Incredible work of Art! I’m blown away by your incredible vision!

[@janethothersall8345]

If only I could afford you...I’ll be depressed all day again after watching this, I have a 3/4 acre impossible garden, I’ve spent 23 years trying and fail every time, I’m buying a lottery ticket and if I win, I’m calling you first 😂 keep safe dear bunnykins, your videos have brought such joy to me in these awful challenging times. 🥰

[@karenross3457]

I had the same feeling about needing to win the lottery!

[@glendagai]

O’ most of us can’t afford Bunny, but I learn so much... these videos are such joy! The glass really is half full of water and half full of air... for me I learned about the urns that have tops... great idea for my little suburban garden that is covered in feet of snow❄️☃️🙂

@@glendagai Elements of fine design can fit every budget.

[@bunnyguinness]

We design all sorts of gardens for all budgets. We work very differently from most Landscape Architects, as we spend a day with the client (who provides the survey) and then having decided with the client what is needed, we draw up sketches to scale. This is then refined throughout the day as we respond to the clients reactions to our proposals. At the end of the day we hope to have a scheme we are all happy with. You could do a million different permutations on any outdoor space , but this way working with the client on site, we hope to get the best solution that the owners are happy with, can maintain and hopefully can really enjoy. All the gardens on my videos were done this way. For more info look at my website, it’s embarrassingly out of date, but gives you an idea, hopefully! Bunnyguinness.com

[@janethothersall8345]

Many thanks for your reply, I shall definitely be making enquiries!

[@adlee0705]

Amazing garden. I really love that huge tree with retaining wall

[@helenachase78]

This woman is a genius and very accessible. My property is 12 acres and so plain... My dream would be to have Bunny design my garden... my budget is only 500.00 though. lol

[@martian10712]

Thank you for your videos. They truly help me get through winter, when I have several inches of snow, and am dreaming of gardening season. So glad I was able to visit the UK and Chelsea flower show in 2017. So grateful for any travel now, even into my little town. Sending love from Washington state, USA ♡♡♡

[@lauriea8502]

Really lovely garden! I would love to see some pictures of the pergola lit up at night. Putting the lights inside the posts is a really creative idea.

[@ChienNoob]

Crikey, Bunny knocked it out the park with this garden. 🌲🌷🌳

[@carolrose4784]

What a talent you have. The idea of lowering the space to create privacy never occurred to me…you always inspire. Thank you.

[@vladimirsanchezgarci]

gorgeous! always so beatifull and elegant!

[@JOHNKIRBY1000]

Completely stunning both in design and planting. Thank you Bunny for letting us look and your enthusiasm in sharing your design ideas!

[@gwenwade6059]

Thank you Bunny. Breathtakingly grand undertaking. Love your breaking up of the pergola idea.

[@christinepops5100]

What a gorgeous grand garden! Both the plants and design are fantastic, you are a wonderful artist Bunny!

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

This is such a charming garden with places to sit and have a drink and a conversation that one forgets how carefully it was composed. It's beautifully functional. Not a garden just to look at, but to be part of. Magic!

[@asianangie7209]

Your work is breathtaking! Love all, can’t pick a favorite!

[@thatchicksavage3165]

I wish I live close to you! I love your gardens so much!! 😩

[@JoannaLouise200]

I love the attention you give to hard-landscaping Bunny ~ especially playing with a change in textures, scale and geometric pattern. I especially like the wide paths you create ~ so many garden owners feel compelled to have just a metre wide path especially in a small garden which I think gives a mean 'pinched' look, and makes a garden look even smaller. Your gardens clearly survive the test of time!

[@penelopehammerton2907]

Staggering, to have the vision to bring this amazing garden about. Thank you for sharing.

Fab. Breathtaking. BG is such a fantastic garden designer.

What a gorgeous, interesting, peaceful space! It has everything, even a Hartley :)

[@bunnyguinness]

I think it’s an Alitex!🐇

[@giovannibarranca2595]

What a Wonderful Garden!

[@joannmicik1924]

Absolutely lovely. My biggest regret/mistake is that I did not have a coherent plan for my 2 acres. After a couple of bad false starts, I'm trying to weave the various areas together to form a cohesive whole. Your designs are such great inspiration! Thank you.

[@lilwilliams7277]

What a garden enough said

[@susanwhitridge7557]

What are the small trees in the bottomless pots on the first patio??? You said but I can’t get it even after rewinding several times 🙃😉

[@vickikeeler2597]

Susan Whitridge. I did the same. Crataegus, common name hawthorn.

[@wiltrudfriesch6781]

Crataegus prunifolia she said. But Amelanchier ovalis looks similar.

[@bunnyguinness]

She said (!) they are Crataegus prunifolia, they are multi stem specimens. Amelanchier (which Wiltrud says looks similar) I find much more difficult to grow if the soil has lime in it. Also Amelanchier is not nearly so tough. But they are beautiful trees too, although the blossom a bit too fleeting.

[@susanwhitridge7557]

@@bunnyguinness thank you 🙏 I have acid soil here in far Northern California (think mountain & forests and cold winter NOT beaches!) I have a Crataegus laevigata that does well...never seen the prunifolia ☹️... but I will be looking! My big garden problem is DEER 🦌!😩😱

[@wiltrudfriesch6781]

@@bunnyguinness I'm surprised you wrote me. Sorry, I didn't want to upset you. I mainly wrote that amelanchier looks similar, because some people have allergies and Amelanchier would be a good substitute for Crataegus in this case. Usually people have worse allergies to Crataegus as to Amelanchier. And sorry for the bad English, I hope you understand what I wrote. It's a great garden!

[@janaschuster2813]

Stunning gardens! A real inspiration and it makes me realise that with all my own ideas and love of gardening, my ambitions and dreams for what I can get out of a space are not nearly ambitious and coherent enough, and that it really makes a difference to have an expert like yourself help develop the designs and main schemes. And I admit this happily as someone who professional researches landscape history. Can I ask, is the greenhouse a Hartley?

[@adlee0705]

Wonder the same thing. That do looks like Hartley right. Stunning

[@nautilusshell4969]

Great garden - quick question - who made the sculpture of the water carrying warrior?

[@McMaureen]

Hi Bunny, Thank you for your videos...The gardens are so beautiful and a real inspiration. Can I ask the name of the Wisteria please? I'm planning to plant 3 wisterias against a 10ft tall red brick south facing wall this year, and I'm really struggling to decide on one!

[@nicolaevans4689]

Oh Bunny your gardens are so beautiful and tasteful. I am with Janet if we win the lottery I will engage you , after Janet though 😊 My husband and I are still working on our acre we are proud of it but oh my if only .This year has helped been here constantly .Keep the ideas coming please. Thank you.

[@franharrison6316]

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful..... thank you. May I ask another question about bottomless pots? Living in Zone 5 in New England, I wonder about the hardiness of having plants above ground (even after their roots penetrate the ground). In colder climates, would it be wise to only use bottomless pots for plants rated for one or more colder zones - in my case Zones 3 or 4? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love of gardens!

[@bunnyguinness]

Great comment thanks. Yes if I was in a seriously cold area I would avoid using plants that are slightly tender.🐇

[@franharrison6316]

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Love so much about the bottomless pots..... will experiment with plants a bit more cold hardy than my zone. Always look forward to your videos.... thank you!

[@bensturges7412]

Does the Crataegus have the characteristic sharp, long spikes on the stems?

[@waynejones750]

Oh my God, I wish.

[@louise8582]

Beautiful! Wonder how much that cost!!!!!!!!!!?

[@jenniewilliamsmural]

Very beautiful- I see what you mean with the sunken garden of somehow increasing the space by lowering it- but more important, providing intimacy - which was very much needed in this huge scale living space.

[@kevinjamesparr552]

Sorry what is this lovely small tree in pot with orange leaves called. Sounded like Cretinus but cannot find it in search. Yours Sir Kevin

[@maureentaylor4771]

What size pots are used to hold the trees?

[@bunnyguinness]

I have used large ones, smallest size was about 80 cm dia and high. Others were larger about 1m dia so pretty big.🐇

[@pambrewer9082]

What is the name of the first tree?

[@JR-ig4wm]

Before photos, Before Photos, BEFORE PHOTOS Pleaseeeeeeeeeee.

[@bunnyguinness]

I cant find any now, apologies, but was basically a building site with lots of mud.and of course the huge horse chestnut tree (which we put the woven willow retaining wall around) .

[@samanthatorres9517]

Bunny what education do you have in landscape design?

[@bunnyguinness]

I did an honours degree in Horticulture at Reading University and specialised in landscape design in my third year than did a three year post graduate diploma in Landscape Architecture at Birmingham City University. I worked for a few practices for a few years before setting up my own practice 36 years ago. It definitely is one of those things that you never stop learning - every design that grows in the ground teaches you something different about playing with spaces, and with plants it’s the same. Always fascinating, never straight forward!🤣

[@elsagrace3893]

The amount of money 😲 which this client stole from others in terms of low wages and who knows what else. It is very beautiful but the house and courtyard look like Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto CA., USA. Doesn’t look like a home. Nothing to do with your design, Bunny.
