A much desired idea for the flat roofs, that look bear., and in modern building, this is the only space, to do gardening.

Really interesting and inspiring videos with loads of tips.
I live in London. I have a longish garden 10 m wide and about 40 m long but has been divided into 4 sections by low walls and steps. The plot is on a gradient, higher at the end so you see the whole gardeb from the house.
The middle section which is to be mainly lawn and measures 10m wide and 16m long needs to be designed and turfed in the next few weeks. first section nearest the house is about 4m deep and is a patio with steps going up to the second section. Have been watching your videos to get some ideas on design. Need to have a path incorporated for a wheelbarrow etc.Will probably go for a square design but keep changing my mind about the design features. Any help will be appreciated!
My next project will be to design the section which 10m wide and 9 m long and am hoping to have fruit trees and raised vegetable beds on one side and a pergola and pretty flower beds, even roses on the other.
This section will be seen from the raised concreted sitting area at the end of the garden so we can look down on it .
A big job! Need all the inspiration and help I can get!

I really like this channel. Sincerely. I am trying to design a rose garden here in Arizona. Roses are my favorite, but I truly love all sorts. I would love to see what you could do. Good luck.

Thank you, nice episode about focal points, I am always inspired after watching, I am very Greatfull

I might watch this if the audio wasn't garbage and only on the left speaker :/

I like it :) looking forward to see more of your lessons.
