In today's video it’s time to look at my garden design and plans for our brand new blank canvas garden space! This 2026 (and beyond!) garden project starts here and I discuss my garden design process - from practical considerations like the sun and soil through to what I want from the space, sources of garden inspiration through to sketching some plans and producing a 2D garden design. From being a wildlife garden haven through to a family space, area for planting trees, grasses, perennials and more plus a pond and stream project there’ll be a lot of exciting work ahead! Please let me know what you think of my garden design plans - I’d love your input and suggestions before it’s time to get on with digging and planting!
