  1. Great video. I love that you have included Food Forest Gardens as this is something I'm working towards.

  2. I always enjoy your videos Alexandra, they are presented so professionally with lots of inspirational and useful ideas. Now I must get on with some gardening! .

  3. Are you giving us "permission" to be more relaxed in our garden planning? Thank you! It feels so liberating! I am already looking for quirky additions to my garden which might more reflect my personality and environmental philosophy. And I just might mix up the different garden styles to make them unique to me.

  4. Always on trend, Alexandra. Thank you for this tutorial show. Happy Spring????

  5. What a great round up of styles Alexandra!Thanks for including us! xx

  6. My gardening style is what is cheap and will keep my nousy neighbors from calling the city because it looks wild lol

  7. I agree with the others, I love this video. The pictures and descriptions help so much. I have a mix of garden styles in my flower garden. I try to keep some things consistent through out, like native stone, decorations, the pathways and trees. It is on a slope, and has a rock, cottage, rustic, and woodland garden areas. I plant what I love, but they have to be tough also. Temperature, wind rain-or lack of- varies, so I only baby new plants at first. I love "trowel and error". Alexandra, I so appreciate the hard work and dedication you put into these videos.

  8. Wonderful! Your Top 12 garden styles video is one of my most re-watched favourites of all of Youtube. Defining styles is extremely helpful for me to narrow down what I want to achieve, especially because I am starting from scratch on a bare sheep paddock. You have turned a daunting task into something manageable and exciting.
