The real Mr McGregor's Garden that inspired Beatrix Potter

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

What a treat! Way more impressive than Mr. McGregors garden. Just look at those Lupines and the plants growing way up and out of the wall. No wonder Beatrix P was inspired. Do I see 3 or 4 Greenhouses?!!! Really vast area, seems like an acre or so. This is a most marvelous garden, so happy you posted it!

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

I thought you would like it Jeri. 3 greenhouses and also coldframes which I didn't get to film as the volunteers were sitting infront of them. I plan to go back late Summer/Early Autumn to film how it looks at different times of year

I love seeing and reading about gardens which have inspired illustrators and authors! Thank you for such a delightful video. 💚😊

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

So do we. Thank you for watching x

Incredible flowers - great story. My favourite kind of garden, all mixed up

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

And mine. Just as a garden in the country should look x

[@janettegodfrey7092]

I love Beatrix Potter's painted gardens, and I loved seeing this! I think this is my favourite garden ever, and I would be very happy if you were to come back to it for more filming later on, especially if you were to capture more of the plant combinations again, maybe in another season? Thanks so much for your beautiful filming and editing, and the lovely music overlaid upon it. I am most grateful, being house bound and confined to my country home in rural New Zealand, and spending most of my time attempting to make my old garden lovely, in spite of disability. This video of yours has been really inspiring, and also reassuring - since the beauty of this Welsh garden is partly dependent on relaxed and slightly untidy charm - which is heartening and a good lesson for a perfectionist, who makes herself ill, overreaching their physical abilities, attempting to bring complete order. Nature is not necessarily perfectly orderly, but we love natural woods and natural meadows, so I wonder why so many of us strive to overcontrol it in our gardens!? Thanks!!!

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

I couldn't agree more. Why do we see the beauty in other people's unmanicured gardens but not our own. We are so thrilled you enjoyed it and helped you in however small a way during your confinement. Sending healing thoughts x

“I feel like I can feel the scent of the flowers all the way up here. I love it.”

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

We are so pleased you liked it. The scent of roses was wonderful

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

Lovely. I did a diorama of Peter Rabbit’s house and McGreggor’s garden. It was so much fun to do.

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

That sounds amazing x

[@carolharris8167]

Such a beautiful garden. I'm a big Beatrix Potter fan. I was lucky enough to go to Hill Top farm a few years ago. That was an amazing place to. Thank you for sharing that with us, truly magical.😊

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

Yes Hilltop also looks enchanting. We love sharing our adventures with like minded people x

Dear Annie and Daisy. This looks absolutely enchanting. I must see this. I’m visiting Wales in June 2025. Gwaenynog Hall doesn’t appear to have a website with opening days and times. Could you steer me in the right direction to find out more information please. That would be lovely. Your vlog is inspiring me so much to plan our Welsh escape. Thank you so much. Anita xx

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

Thanks so much. It is only open 1 afternoon a year via the National Garden Scheme if you go on their website. Have a wonderful time here X
