Copy These 11 Ideas From One of Britain's Greatest Gardens
RHS Wisley is the flagship garden of the RHS and one of the most important gardens in the UK. After being hidden behind three years of roadworks, the garden is back and better than before:— and it’s full of ideas you can actually use at home. In this video, I share 11 clever ideas from RHS Wisley and explain why they’ll work in your garden, whether you have a small, middle-sized or larger space.

These are practical, achievable ideas you can adapt at home. 00:00 Welcome 00:27 What the RHS Recommended AGM means 01:07 Why Wisley is so inspiring for real gardens 01:30 Why lilac deserves a comeback 02:19 How pruning shrubs makes all the difference 03:35 Shrubs for clipping - the best alternatives to box 04:29 Does your garden need a blobbery - video on good clipped shrubs: • The Garden Design Hack You've Never Heard ... 04:35 Bold colour combinations that work 05:09 Fix worn lawns with more-than-a-path paving 06:33 How to grow wisteria without problems 07: 22 Using logs as garden features in the Hilltop Wildlife Garden 07:42 Don't want a messy corner of the garden?
