Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video πŸŒΊπŸπŸŒ΄πŸ‚πŸŒΌ I am thrilled to share with you the process of my garden transformation over the past four years. I can't believe how much it has changed! It's still a work in progress and I'm already excited to make it even more beautiful next year 🧑 I designed the garden from scratch myself and have loved every moment of it. I hired local businesses to do the bigger jobs such as the sleeper edging, patio, pergola, lawn removal etc but tried to do as much as I could myself such as the planting, customisation of the bar, adding decorative posts, making my own wooden signs, staining of the pergola, bar and fences etc plus adding my own special finishing touches πŸŒΊπŸ¦‹πŸ To donate and support my channel πŸ’š https://ko-fi.com/tropicalplantaddict I often get asked how I care for the garden during winter.
