1920’s garden makeover - 3 year timelapse!

I want to bring you all up to speed with our garden renovation - this is how the first 3 years of the makeover went. When we bought this house the garden was overgrown and full of invasive plants such as brambles, snowberries and bindweed. It’s been a lot of work but we’ve finally broken the back of it. We now have a blank canvas ready for growing our own veg and lots more planting. This is a re-edit of an old video from a while ago with some extra stuff thrown in, moved over here as part of a general channel tidy-up. Subscribe to see what the garden looks like now!
