Matilda Goad's imaginative, low maintenance city garden | House & Garden

[@torysetliff]

LOVE the snaking garden. Would be so fun to play in as a child; you’d feel that you’re in your own little world, off from the grownups.

[@amritad4562]

I loved her whole house and now i love her garden aswell. She is such a charming person. I want to be friends with Matilda Goad.

[@CatskillsGrrl]

Right? She obviously comes from great privilege, but she has a genuine, down-to-earth quality.

I think what I find so refreshing is the mentions of budget restriction and or usage of IKEA or otherwise. It's been so nice to have that realistic touch serve as ACUTAL inspiration for our own spaces.

[@EdurtreG]

The moment I say "gardendesigner" my wallet empties from shock. Love the garden!!! Enjoy.

[@mybestideas1]

I love this woman. So thoughful and creating space she connects to, vs. what we in Canada see, cookie-cutter white and gray spaces. Please bring more like these!

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

I’m Canadian and British and this is what keeps me in the U.K. - I love the quirkiness of people’s homes and especially their gardens here. Gardening is a national pastime! I think with my family in the GTA part of the problem is that so much of the year it’s either too hot or too cold to spend too much time outside. Of course, we’re also blessed in the U.K. to have perfect conditions for gardening: summers with long daylight hours, mild winters, and lots and lots of rain so it’s not expensive at all to keep things watered.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

I couldn't imagine your garden any other way. It is simply perfect! Everything is within scale and there is charm and mystery and the appropriate balance of color and greenery. Thanks so much, I have thoroughly enjoyed!!.

[@hawthornetree646]

Love her style and personality. A little bit uncontrolled!

I’ve watched this series 5 times, I love it!

I love that you said' we had a budget' you got me at that, so often you see wonderful gardens with crazy budgets, your's is wonderful because of your budget

[@Harry-fk5of]

Beautiful garden, love the winding aspect and how it's revealed over the cobbled walkway. Full of life and so green

[@timeandplace4114]

Love the garden. The free, loose, and flowing style is the base of its beauty and charm. Ah! "Everyone let's all moved to the garden". 😉

[@sherrillkelk9125]

So charming, whimsical, flowers, I love it all. So inspiring in so many ways. I need an outside sink too.

[@crashlikewaves]

I love this series!! Her home is sooo beautiful and welcoming

[@josephinebrevig8748]

Has Butter ever worked with bread? Hehehe. Can we just also acknowledge the great video….not sure about the music in the background though, did it really add anything? The exterior is such a fit with the interior. How divine.

[@arthurb8436]

I'm glad there was music, but think they could've made a better choice - some relaxed classical, maybe some slower jazz? this feels a bit like elevator music haha

[@paulgabolinscy2502]

My two favourite roses, Gertrude Jekyll and Munstead Wood, both vigorous and gloriously scented 🇬🇧

[@carlyh6913]

I'm sad this series is over, I loved every single room 😍🥺

[@lindsayashton]

Omg I can’t wait for the next episode! As someone who sources for a living and for my videos. I can’t wait to see where she sources across the pond.

[@lynnharrell9598]

What is sourcing?

[@lindsayashton]

@@lynnharrell9598 basically shopping, it's going to vintage stores, fabric stores, furniture stores, and looking for items to design your home with ( or a clients home)

This was so good, I really enjoyed this, so much inspiration, such a beautiful garden.

[@1hayes1]

I don't know if it is the case in the UK, but used rail ties in Canada are saturated in creosote, and, out of health and environmental concerns, are no longer commonly used in gardens and retaining walls.

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

What is creosote? I have a feeling that’s not the case in the U.K., as we have no shortage of health and safety laws haha

[@preddyawesome]

I love this series - more please 😊❤️

[@margaretd3710]

How amazing! I've had lots of experience with butter too! On toast, on baked potatoes, in baking cakes and cookies, in ...... Yum! My only question is: since I love butter so much, why didn't I name my daughter Butter? That was a brilliant move by Butter's mom. Can you imagine her calling her daughter to come in the house: Oh, Butter! Butter! Wherefore art thou, Butter? I need you!" Wonder what the neighbors thought? :-)

[@nell8170]

I'm sure that's not her real name.....can guarantee it!!

Hi. Love your garden and has been a massive inspiration to me for my new garden renovation. I've started to look into buying some sleepers and wondered if you used creosote sleepers and wondered if it's safe as most reclaimed ones are creosote?

[@noelmay9]

It is beautiful! However, railroad ties/lumber tends to be treated with creosote and not appropriate for food growing container building. So hope you have your pieces of railroad lumber tested before planting food plants in them!

[@rachelhoward334]

unfortunately the ivy can cause damage to a building, so what can we use instead that will encourage birds to nest in it ?

I love the garden, but why oh WHY do obviously wealthy people pretend to be on a tight budget?

[@rocklobstah1876]

On a tight budget means she haggled when it was 'bought from a Hungarian dealer' 😆

[@AthalieM]

I've wondered about this too -- Matilda Goad seems like a big enough deal that surely they have money to not be so budget-conscious?? -- but have come to the conclusion that perhaps a big part of their budget was in all the structural changes of the house (to say nothing of buying the thing...), and the 'niceties' are where they have to get more creative. (Which sometimes means a better result!)

[@hkchrism]

Everyone fixing up these houses is extremely wealthy so budgeting is a relative term. They budget. Roman Abramovich does not.

"Butter Wakefield" sounds like the parody of a British name

Am I the only one that didn't like the result??? Lots of wasted space. I've seen smaller gardens with more functionality.

[@robyndismon394]

My greenspaces mean the world to me. Don't know how else to put it. I also understand that 'garden' means something different to everyone. The garden here, for me has far tooi much cement which can never be translated to warmth or serenity, especially with a young child. That said I respect her choices.

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

I don’t see any cement, just packing and pathways, which have been used in gardens far longer than lawns have.

[@robyndismon394]

@vanya A 'lawn' is not a garden. Plain and simple.

Beautiful home but I wouldn't want an overlooked garden.

[@lajcy7459]

I don't think breaking the space like that was a good idea. It makes it look so small. Besides, you want to see the wonderful dining area from the house but, of course, you can't because of the green walls in the middle.

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

It’s never a good idea to have the boundaries of your garden visible. Nothing makes it feel so small and restrictive and flat as that. Cover your fences, create little paths and borders, it gives the illusion of more space because there is more to EXPLORE.
