Truly a work of art. Planning and the prep work are the key. You are certainly leaving a legacy and making your part of England a better place. Thanks for the skill set you are sharing but the work load must be daunting at times.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you so much for your kind words, it is a lot of work but we love it and it’s immensely rewarding. Jenny

[@LindasFlowersandVegetablesGard]

Your early summer is stunning, subscribed!

[@tammydeschenes4857]

You should have good luck with your Annabelle hydrangea. I have some in every condition throughout my yard from moist full shade, dry morning sun, moist late afternoon/evening sun to dry full south facing sun and they are all doing quite well. Best of luck to you.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you for that feedback, that’s encouraging to hear that. I’m bringing them on a bit and plan to plant the rest of them out in the autumn. Thanks for watching Jenny

[@kristineobrien8878]

Prettiest private garden I’ve ever seen. Your work is amazing❤

[@MurphysGarden]

Wow, thank you so much! Jenny

[@madelinerivers4603]

It's so hard to watch your fantastic garden by someone who lives in the sweaty southeast of the States but from the cool of my air-conditioner it was a sweet journey! You are always so informative and I thank you for that. In your part of England, have you ever heard of blackspot, whitefly and aphids (tongue in cheek)???? Would love a lesson in dealing with these struggles from my garden.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Re: pests and diseases, I don’t do much, when I get bugs I just wait and the birds usually sort them out in time. Companion planting is good though and if your roses have black spot then try underplanting them with salvias, particularly the microphylla, the small-leaved varieties. I learnt this from Sarah Raven who has done a lot of experiments at her home called Perch Hill (look it up if interested). The smell from salvias is slightly sulphurous, and of course sulphur is a fungicide, and she believes that these salvias have sulphur in their scent profile, and when they get hot they warm up and they release that and they produce puffs of natural, home-grown fungicide, and keep roses pristine and black spot and mildew free without using chemicals. She mentions some lovely ones called ‘Nachtvlinder’ which means ‘night light’, ‘Jezebel’, and then another lovely one called ‘Cerro Potosí’. Might be worth you looking into this and the bonus is that salvias are beautiful plants in their own right as well as improving our roses! Hope this helps Jenny

@@MurphysGarden Yes, yes and yes! Thank you for this encouragement. My garden is only 4 yrs old but you have given me vision and hope! Thank you😀

[@HyggeGardenandHome]

Your garden is SO beautiful! I love the style and you are right it is the perfect compliment to your Georgian home❤

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments Jenny

[@windrider5845]

Beautiful spaces! ❤❤❤

[@EdensApple80]

I adore it! The thought of design is so overwhelming.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you so much. If you feel overwhelmed try watching the video I did called ‘Great Design Ideas to Implement in Your Own Garden’ in which I try and break the design of your garden into sections. Hope it helps and thanks for watching Jenny

[@teresejohnson6767]

Wow, what an amazing landscape you have created with stunning garden rooms, each with individual personality! How do you keep track of all your plant species!? Amazing talent. You and your family have created a personal paradise. ty for sharing and I love all your shows.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you, there’s lots I don’t know but I’ve got to know my plants. It’s a bit like knowing the names of friends, I see them all the time and get to know their little ways! So glad you enjoyed the tour and thanks for watching Jenny

[@lindahopps739]

Beautiful gardens. Congratulations.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you

[@helenyoung8012]

Thank you for showing us round and the drone film footage to get a good idea of how your garden is laid out. I think it is lovely. I think what you said was dierama is gladiolus Byzantinus, known as whistling jacks here in the south west. They may have seeded themselves in from elsewhere. My poor garden is so parched and we are on a hosepipe ban, watering cans galore!!!!

[@MurphysGarden]

Oh is that what it is! They just appeared, they do look like gladiolus! They are a different colour from the dierama and dierama are more papery looking. Thank you so much for that, very helpful. Glad you liked the video Jenny

[@laurelsayer7557]

Just.........stunning!!! So nice too to have a channel which provides the full botanical name of plants. I presume your soil ph is around 6.5?? (Just thinking about what plants I could try in my garden 😁.)

[@MurphysGarden]

Yes, it’s exactly that! - I’m impressed!! Are you on the same? We are terribly sandy so always a battle holding on to moisture but soil seems quite fertile but always adding compost to it to try and improve it. Salvias, lavender, geraniums, lupins, delphiniums, all the perennial cottage favourites do well. For hedging, yew and box love it too. Thanks for watching Jenny

[@viktoriapinlife4732]

Великолепный сад! Браво вам! Спасибо за такую чудесную экскурсию 🙏

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you so much

[@ladyjrider666]

I adore your garden and all the rooms. I look forward to seeing the summerhouse and rill. It'll fit that space beautifully. How many look after your garden?

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you for your kind feedback. It’s just myself and my husband and we both work so we mostly do the garden at weekends. It keeps us on our toes, we’ve got a lot to do just with the maintenance and so it’s always a bit of a challenge pushing on with the structural stuff too, hence why we must get things done in winter.

[@ladyjrider666]

@@MurphysGarden you both do an amazing job. To have that much maintenance on an acre. Incredible.

[@VancouverIslandgirl]

Your garden looks beautiful, do you ever sit and just enjoy the garden? Or are you like me ,see the next thing I should be doing! 😊💐

[@MurphysGarden]

We are very rarely able to sit still long enough to enjoy it! Always jumping up to remove a weed or water a plant! But enjoy working on it, which is just as well!!!🤣

Beautiful garden & great tour. Other than mowing, do you just leave the lawns to their own devices? Regards

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you, we haven’t treated the grass for a couple of years. The quality of our grass isn’t great and the grass in the Quadrant Garden looks very patchy. We reseeded it after correcting the height when we installed the metal edging and it was too cold and didn’t germinate and now it’s too dry and the pigeons have eaten most of it 😂 The trials and tribulations of gardening! Thanks for watching Jenny
