Wildlife Garden through the four seasons.

[@grahammann4618]

I must say David , I have watched this video many, many times and have learnt so much from it. My pond and stream are in place with newts breeding after just a week after the pond was filled. The garden filled with herbaceous plants with lots of cover for the odd frog I have seen and different insects all over. Thank you for your wonderful words and description.

[@XxXsomeonelovesyouXx]

Watching this made me smile. Life goals.

[@07thomasdd]

Beautiful. I am a young gardener of just 20 years. I dream of the day when i can start to create a garden as beautiful as yours. Thanks for sharing, what an inspiration!

[@geeker211]

Such a beautiful garden! You really put lots of love and work into it! Great video

[@mgtsteele]

this video was beautifully presented i am a wildlife lover myself i love watching the sparrows and finches coming down to drink from my garden stream

[@hawthornekennels8450]

Has to be one of the best wildlife garden videos I've seen! Superb! 👌

[@youjohnnie]

Awesome video! Thank you!

[@ceceliahuynh]

What a wonderfu short film! You have an amazing array of flora and fauna, thank you for taking us on a tour across the four seasons. You have an excellent eye for light and colour, in the garden and the lens!

[@RussTillling]

One of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. Thank you so much David. Last year I spent a lot of energy digging a 2mx1mx0.5m pond which I am filling with rain water. Your beautifully filmed and presented video has inspired me to do more of the same, to create a lawn/border/shallow pond garden & wildlife extravaganza! Thank you!

[@butter1950]

If I can only get my garden to look 1/10th of yours, I'd be happy. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden!

[@jeromegagnon8335]

Omg I am blown away by this video. This is honestly my life goal to have a beautiful garden like this so rich in wildlife and diversity. Thanks again

[@carolinedevereux]

[@jane9875]

great wildlife garden!

[@daphnedear5827]

Absolutely beautiful garden. You have done so much to help the wildlife. The world needs more people like you

[@paultabby9041]

This should be broadcast on bbc Springwatch

[@stephenmcgarrity2148]

Fantastic, was nice to see all the seasons and the changes to the garden

[@deborahknott8641]

This is so beautifully put together and narrated, with the gentle sounds of nature in the background. It was lovely to see how a life's gardening can produce such a haven for local wildlife. To see it develop and to be taken through the seasons to better understand the plantlife and the creatures that can be given a home and give such joy. There was an honesty about the work needed to maintain the garden, a real labour of love. A wealth of experience is proffered and is absolutely inspirational as well as informative. I will definitely be watching it again. Thank you for sharing.

[@alixmordant489]

Wonderful garden! Love the pond with all the wildlife!

[@vivienrothwell9536]

Thank you for this delightful video. I wish there were more people like you in the world with such an understanding of how to live in harmony with Mother Nature . Beautiful flowers and colours .xxxxxx

[@filmakercrossley]

Thanyou, I'm uploading another up to date video of our garden any time soon made under very sad circumstances, but we had to do it because of the therapy and healing power of Nature and The Wonderful Great Outdoors.

[@nickyork8901]

Beautifully shot, and well edited video. Highly professional! Also really interesting for us as we are trying to build our wildlife garden including a pond, thanks a lot.

[@darrenmeaning4132]

Thank you for sharing this well shot and informative video. Inspiring for anyone wanting to develop a wildlife pond and a more natural garden.

That was wonderful to watch. Thank you so much for your efforts. All the very best from Scotland.

[@grahammann4618]

Hi David, my favourite video. I have just moved and have built a wildlife pond. Within a fortnight smooth newts moved in, I've seen about 20 dancing and courting in the shallow areas. There are no frogs and toads which I crave for but I guess they will come soon. I am keen for the invertebrates to flourish , again in time. The remainder of the garden is filled with herbaceous plants and perennials and climbing shrubs but there is a large area left with ferns and natural uk plants so there is a great habitat for the amphibians to thrive in. Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas.

[@filmakercrossley]

Hello Graham , Thanks for your king comment I've never had toads and newts in my pond even though the're present in the surrounding countryside. Good luck with your new pond. I'm on holiday at the moment in North Norfolk and today we're visiting a Wild Flower and Garden Wild Life Centre called Natural Surroundings near the town of Holt. The Garden is run by Simon & Anne Harrap They have written several books on our wild orchids, flowers and birds and if your ever visitong the area its well worth a visit. I've visited the garden several times over the last few years and I've made a couple of videos about Natural Surroundings which are on my KZbin channel. You can find more info. On the internet. Best wishes David Crossley ([e-mail])

[@mortengottschalck]

Great work! Cool with the underwater filming and how you took action against the fish.

[@GardeningSpirit]

Such a beautiful garden.

[@eoinllewellyn]

beautiful

[@matthewford7840]

This is amazing. I live in East Texas. I would love to have something like this but snakes and mosquitos would prevent it.

[@haroldinho9930]

Matthew Ford Dragonflies will take care of the mosquitoes

[@rachelbird7798]

This is a beautifully put together film and I found really helpful to know more about frog spawning and the maintenance of an established pond. My 13 yr old son and I are creating a wildlife pond and this is very helpful. Your garden is absolutely stunning and I love all the close ups you have included of the flowers. You embody the values of patience, observation, and resilience in the face of set backs - so lovely!

[@1twilight9]

Great stuff. Spring comes at the right time of year, any later and i would defernatly conk out. A big thanks to Spring : )

[@pjgalvin6787]

Wow David what an inspirational video I’ve been wildlife gardening now 5 years meadow going well and building pond this year now kids are a bit older. Will remember to avoid the sticklebacks😮 can’t believe you had so many😂. Keep up the amazing work 👏🏻

[@NatureShy]

Your garden is so beautiful! I also watched the more recent video through the seasons too.

[@sueyarnell1935]

[@Keywy]

My family and I are planning to develop our own wildlife garden over the next few years, I’d be so happy if it was anything like yours! You can really see the hard work you’ve put into it :)

[@bballjizzo]

Very well-made video. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing.

[@coooooperman]

Beautiful!

[@freshimpactco.8698]

Lovely garden, I hope people who watch this can do the same with their gardens....

[@raymondkilminster2194]

what a really lovely video of life through a year of your garden .

[@leonievw2466]

This is such an inspiration. We bought a house with a garden, and I would love to make a bird/insect wildlife garden. Thank you for making this video

[@filmakercrossley]

The garden is still maturing and following the trent to rewild but still loosly manage, it still give us enormous satisfaction as we grow older and spend more time in the garden.

[@DD-jq8my]

Fantastic video.. I will be keeping this close .. thank you.. and what a beautiful garden.

[@wendymurray5910]

Lovely film, came across by accident looking for ideas for a back garden nature diversity school project for my 8 yr old son... we sat watching transfixed!

[@marcobeolchi9063]

Un bellissimo giardino naturale great job

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

Thank you so much for posting this footage of your garden. The garden is just beautiful I love the natural feel you have to it and those wild orchids :D This garden must have taken years to establish ? I started my garden from scratch just over 20yrs ago and it is just starting to get how I want it but it is a long way from being as wonderful as yours ! I do not have the space or the time to look after a pond like yours. This garden and your filming of it is a true credit to you I only found this footage because I just put up a video of my garden. This has given me so so many new ideas Thank you so much :D Teddy

[@simonwhite5535]

Wonderful! You ought to be on telly! :)

[@hardy5288]

A wonderful video, well done,

[@chris.jenner]

Loved watching that thank you!

Very interesting loved watching this have you any more videos made of your garden and wildlife

[@filmakercrossley]

I've about 26 videos under... David Crossley's "The Great Outdoors" on KZbin.

[@michaelpaling8964]

Wonderful

[@bayblues5623]

wonderful!

[@kellypena9430]

I really LOVE LOVE Your garden and I just told my family that this is the kind of garden I would love to be surrounded by and not so much grass. In your pond, is it a natural pond or is it with a liner and pump to filter and circulate the water. I'm gathering all of my options on what kind of pond I am going to build so that I build it right to the way I want it. Looking forward to hearing from you.

[@julieblackstock8650]

oh this is lovely

[@michaelgovers8036]

Hello David and thank you for sharing your garden, by the way, what happened to all the frogs, where did they go? :)

[@CR-di1lg]

nice work

[@prisonmike1798]

I had the same problem with sticklebacks. The first year I built my pond I put 3 sticklebacks in and when it came to August time there was easily a few hundred

[@jeromegagnon8335]

I’m curious, where does the inflow of water come from? The mountains near by, or simply a water pump Thanks again

[@christinawarburton5773]

Where do they go when they leave the pond ?

[@filmakercrossley]

They will disperse in my garden and the nearby local countryside and in about 2-3 years will return to spawn in the same pond

[@levithanh91]

Hi guys, anyone know what music piece is this? thank you

[@christinawarburton5773]

I have put a small pond in but I want some gold fish will they eat all my wild life 😲

[@haroldinho9930]

Yes,it’s best to not add fish
