      Really wonderful. How is it coping in the drought and what have you planted? I’m very eager to change up our small garden as it’s mainly lawn which has been brown scrub for several months now. This looks gorgeous.

      It looks amazing! Just out of interest, what happened to the Musa?

      Could you do a photo from the same position as the before one, would love to see more of the layout of plants etc

    4. Very relieved to read the before and after photos are in the right order! Lovely to see the fabulous planting.

    5. People think that kids need expanses of lawns to kick footballs around on etc but I feel that interesting gardens with lots of planting and wildlife are vastly more beneficial for the creativity and play of children. In short, good job!

      Ha I was expecting green grass -> dead grass. That’s gorgeous and it’ll only get even better as it gets established

      Proper job, and totally toddler positive! And middle aged woman positive. I could spend hours just looking and watching…

      That looks amazing – what a beautiful wildlife haven and delightful space for your little one!

      Blimey! What a change. Did you have to do anything to the soil or was it okay to plant directly?

    10. That is lovely and congratulations for not thinking a toddler needs only grass 😃

      Absolutely stunning work. My wife and I are aiming for something not dissimilar in our garden, we have a little girl due in December so hopefully she’ll enjoy exploring too.

    12. I love the wild look! More gardens need to atleast have a section thats purely wild to create more insect habitats!

    13. This is such an inspiration! I keep telling friends and family that I want to get rid of all the grass and replace with beds and they just can’t imagine it – will be showing them this picture! 

      Would you mind sharing a vague timeline of how you transformed it? Did you do it section by section or mark the path first?

      I love to see people going from nice neat lawns to something more wild and diverse!

      For a second I thought you had replaced all the lovely plants with the bland lawn!

      It looks lovely. So pleased it was that way round!

    16. Fantastic. A was actually better than most of the concrete monstrosities you see nowadays but B would make Samwise Gamgee proud
