Over the past few years with this channel, I’ve been lucky enough to visit some extremely talented and passionate gardeners and their creations - usually whilst filming my tour videos for garden ideas and inspiration. Whilst every gardener and their planting styles are individual and unique, these are some of the shared traits, habits and skills which I’m keen to keep improving on and hopefully these observations help you too. Up to now most of the gardens I’ve visited have an exotic theme and these habits are mostly planting tips and garden design ideas, specifically ornamental plants, but definitely applicable to other styes of growing and gardening. I’ve always enjoyed learning from successful gardeners and success leaves clues so in today’s video I try to explore the gardening habits and skills that I believe can really improve my garden and yours too!
