Brilliant Garden Design Videos

These garden design videos are great - they translate theory into practice. I might spend hours reading my garden design books and then watch Rachel’s videos to find the core lessons condensed into a real design. Really informative and inspiring. Rachel presents very different garden styles and approaches to design (blank canvas vs makeover) and she has a lovely engaging style of presenting.

A wonderful first episode

If you are considering redesigning your garden then this is the perfect channel to subscribe to. With clear photos, plans and perspective drawings, Rachel takes you through the steps for designing a garden with some challenging changes in level and a shallow shape. She talks about how to select feature lighting.

I will be reading the show notes and watching the next episode.
