I've followed Sarah Raven for years and I'm always inspired. Thank you.

[@Ang12347]

Have been watching Sarah for a long time! Very lovely lady! ❤️

[@maggiedee9284]

I’m in Alberta, Canada. Two years ago I bought packets of Sarah Raven cosmos and zinnia seeds. I grew the most fantastic flowers ever! Sadly, I’ve not been able to source her seeds here since.

[@jamillaarif7823]

Planted my first bulb lasagna inspired but watching one of Sarahs videos. can't wait for the spring to see my efforts rewarded!

[@moniquemannaert3468]

And?? Floriferous joy? 🌿👒🐦

[@gardentours]

The garden really keeps you fit 🌱🌷🌱🌸👍

[@LindasFlowersandVegetablesGard]

Great garden and garden tips!

[@zoewhite7705]

Loving the people in the comments trying to school Sarah on gardening like she’s some kind of novice. Guessing she’s not well known overseas.

[@1Thedairy]

Yes she lives in one of the most beautiful home and garden in the country. Sissinghurst has a generation of gardeners so I think she knows what she’s talking about

[@Lea-zf7lm]

I'm ashamed, and appalled, that some of those silly comments came from Canadians. It's as if we're so dumb here that we can't figure out a lot of these tips are aimed at British gardeners 🙄

[@RealBradMiller]

Like trying to tell Monty Don or Carol Klein how to divide hostas. 🙄 😂 Much love from Ohio!

[@kathymaxted9485]

Absolutely stunning. And the design of the garden is beautiful

[@mollie3244]

Love the cutting garden, I've a little one myself and I used to buy seeds from the site, but unfortunately, I can't get them delivered here in Ireland anymore. Massive variety to choose from, used to take hours to make a decision. Also, love a tutorial on how you made those plant supports. Willow?. Gorgeous,

[@moniquemannaert3468]

Indeed; I miss her shipping to overseas or having het items sold as shops in shops..

[@jeannesmith1761]

[@MarkusHessen]

Which roses are these pastel roses?

[@prettylagoon]

Can i plant mint next to rose bushes? Is this true

[@michelez715]

Salvias come in hundreds of varieties. Could you be more specific?

[@chelsearuiz6601]

In the video, she says small leaved varieties like salvia 'Nachtvlinder'. In other interviews available on KZbin, she says salvia microphylla.

[@moniquemannaert3468]

​@@chelsearuiz6601Nachtvlinder is Dutch for night butterfly. 🦋

[@phoebeel]

Oh man i wish i even had a remotely flourishing garden. Its all just a sand wasteland, nothing grows much. I could never have such a lush field of flowers... I hate living in my area

[@ev1677]

Have you been adding manure and compost in spring and autumn every year?

[@phoebeel]

@@ev1677 I didn't know that you need to do that in spring too... I will add that to my to do list haha First time I got manure was last autumn so the results will probably show this April/may when nature wakes up. But thanks for the tip! I will definitely get some manure the next few years to get rehabilitate my garden

[@annbashir5888]

My garden was a baron piece of sand clay n chalk no decent soil but over time with good old manure it's now a garden. Had to water well n plants took a while to get going but once they got established they were off. If you can build a pond . The difference a pond makes to all the wildlife n plants is amazing. All the best

[@ev1677]

@@annbashir5888 yeah I have a barrel pond that I made last year so hoping to gets forge or newts this year. Every spring and autumn add a peat free border booster from miraclegro onto your soil, I do two bags in spring and two in autumn and then in spring I also add horticultural grit and perlite to the soil to improve drainage. After a fee years your soil will be so much better you'll see.

[@englishwithanerudite]

If you prune your ramblers hard, you might end up having no flowers at all the following season, as numerous ramblers flower on "old wood". One should not prune all the roses hard, I'm afraid. One must be selective.

[@zoewhite7705]

Doesn’t mean you can’t prune them hard, just means you do it straight after flowering rather than in spring like you would for other roses. So they still have time to form next years flowers.

[@GardenMyselfHappy]

Lovely video. I always love seeing Sarah's garden and her easy way of giving advice.

[@pumpkineater_69557]

Beautiful garden, but advice is a it off. Of course you need to remove dahlias in a signifcant part of the world, yes we are watching from canada too

[@zoewhite7705]

To be fair to her, the channel is Country Living UK, so she’s providing advice for the Uk. Just like North American channels always say it’s compulsory to lift dahlia tubers, because they’re talking about where they live.

[@alexgard4968]

Climate change?

[@mitzi605]

Found your channel today, what a treasure.
