It’s great to see you all just hanging out and fanning each other’s flames 🔥

[@invinoveritas6859]

I too share a burning desire to express my own inner beauty through gardening.....🤣😂

[@kodisurilieuphoria-indianc9412]

What??? Why the dislikes.... im frustrated rather saddened to know this irony that some hardly can understand the talent who interests that left a heaven for us to rejoice and live in harmony..i salute this gentleman for everything he was..

[@kina7128]

I agree with you there. I often think that those who cannot appreciate the beauty in gardens such as this, are sad and jealous people...

[@kodisurilieuphoria-indianc9412]

@@kina7128 thank you for your comforting words. I understand jealousy creeps out of laziness and feelings of worthlessness. In such situations people should be alert erase jealousy by involving in some talent they can do better if not such a big garden challenge. Wish they grow a small succulent atleast on their table so it makes them happy. Anyways no advices cheers take care be happy

It has little to nothing to do with the video. They are obnoxious people who like to mess with people. They're bullies oddly feeling powerful hitting the thumbs down or immature & like to upset people for no reason.

I so want to dedicate my later years to my garden. I just can’t afford not to work. I’m trying to establish what I can. Recently bought a house built in 1905. There’s already many things that come up every year. I just need time to maintain and care for it more. No servants or money here to indulge my dreams.

[@heidimiller5475]

30:35 The Skunk cabbage plant: every time I have been near this plant, it has stunk. Its so beautiful it should smell good.

[@Candylandavenue1]

This is what every gardener secretly or not so secretly aspires to create in their own gardens. I absolutely love this & have gotten inspired! I’ve been into topiaries & wanting to create topiary forms this year.

[@indie8189]

A beautiful documentary. Love the story of Johnston and his two gardens.

[@sandra.linares]

I just loved both programmes. Thanks for uploading them together. Major Lawrence Waterbury Johnston (1871-1958) was a British garden designer and plantsman. He was the owner and designer of two influential gardens - Hidcote Manor Garden in Britain and Jardin Serre de la Madone in France. Both gardens are beautifully described here.

[@heathercouillard8246]

I could happily move right in, the gardens are so beautiful. I loved every minute of these programs and look forward to more of them.

[@lizzieatherfold2293]

So so interesting Johnston and Hidcote complimented each other

[@euridicesacramentomariani6953]

I love all: the piano, the flowers... Thank you!

[@AnnMarieKing]

I really appreciate the schematics that let us understand the layout and sheer size and grandeur of the garden and its various rooms. Enchanted and inspired ... love this.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I visited Hidcote some years ago, but to see the garden sans the masses, albeit in a video, is something very special and enhanced by useful commentary, information from gardeners and peaceful music is truly lovely.

Wonderful pair of programmes, great to view back to back like this. I've been to Hidcote many times; my old dad grew Hidcote Yellow roses, as I recall. Now I must see the garden at Mentonne...

[@vivienmcnaul109]

Beautiful. National trust do a wonderful job.💚

[@kevinbradleygardeningandou9767]

Thank You, very enjoyable. :-)

[@englishgardeningsouthernst8723]

Just ran across the two videos and love both. Hidcote is my wife's favorite English garden which we have visited several times on our trips to the UK. We normally visit National Trust gardens. We joined the Royal Oak Foundation (which is reciprocal with the NT) so we are able to visit all the properties of the NT free of charge.

[@grettalemabouchou6779]

[@flowerfairy1950]

Not sure if I have already commented but really enjoyed this and after watching this tracked down the book Norah Lindsay; wonderful!

[@megaswenson]

WONDERFUL video! I recently googled 'Lawrence Johnston', wondering about his namesake rose (shown in the video, with Blackspot, of course - even in England). And here's a video about him! Does anyone know how about the heat tolerance of Mahonia Lomariifolia? And what's with, "Many of these plants NOW go back to ones Lawrence Johnston would have chosen?" Why was there ever deviation from his plant choices?

[@professorr.5427]

Splendid photography of beautiful flowers. Feel sorry for the narrator who had to read a repetitive and disorganized script.

[@pygiana16]

Derek Jarman hated these formal rigid regimented gardens and called them Hideouscote.

I’ve been there , you have captured it well ! You do not need the heavy piano music ! Sad found it hard to hear the story !

[@tonirose6776]

Loved the video, but the poor sound of an electric piano marred the unity, since the visuals and the voice of the narrator were lovely. Thank you for upload!

[@maestasify]

Too formal for my wild wooded holler mentality. But nice anyway, fun to look at.

[@joannlessner1551]

Music much too loud for the soft voice. Had to keep muting it. Lovely garden, though.

[@lottebeste2731]

Great garden, really a living masterpiece! Unluckily, too loud and dramatic music. Why don‘t you trust the pictures?

[@missnellaful]

Thank you for bringing up this issue! So many fabulous documentaries are desecrated by this ridiculous music. Useless piano, and it's off key as well! What a magical program. Please stop the music!!!!!

[@suzukisylv]

Can you turn the music off,it overshadows the commentary, can't hear it properly..............

The “Red Garden” as installed by the National Trust is just a mess. Perhaps now with the examples of Piet Oudolf’s borders and gardens it can be properly restored to its original design, one of texture, winter perennials and grasses.

[@mariewhalen9313]

If Freud had been a woman, she would have many things to say that some readers might not want to read here. So I will skip that. Tree ferns. God, how beautiful. A little bit in from the beginning was my first thought of the “futuristic” death scene in the film, “Soylent Green.” Now, I see it through out the entire film! I cannot grasp what kind of privilege these folks must have felt they were entitled to. Anyway, thank you. Without this, I will never see it. and will try to “imagine” their amazing fragrances.
