Big Dreams Small Spaces sounds like my garden. I will check it out. Thanks! I think climbing roses are perfect for small gardens, because they make the most of vertical space when horizontal space is lacking.

I immediately watched the first episode and I loved it. They did mention the rose Rhapsody in Blue. I enjoyed how challenging the spaces were. One was an overgrown woodland and the other a steeply sloped yard. I saw some perennials I’m growing or considering: geraniums, penstemons, lavenders and thyme. I found it very inspirational and it made me appreciate my little garden which seems easy in comparison to the obstacles these gardeners faced.

Thank you so much for this recommendation - I have been looking for a new Netflix series to binge!

Love that one! Also like Love Your Garden on Netflix. More episodes on YouTube. You can also get back episodes of Gardeners World from the BBC on YouTube.

Thanks! This is going on my watch list! Not OT at all, IMO!

Thanks for putting the thread up. Now, I can watch it on utube , too :)

Love the bbc garden shows! On netflix I watched this one as soon as I saw it recently added. I do like the variety of garden styles. I also watch Love Your Garden. Now that one is amazing! However, a bit unrealistic because these gardens come in at no expense spared & overly packed planting. But the ideas and plans are truly creative and inspiring. They are also making dream gardens for some people/families living through very difficult situations. Sometimes it's almost heartbreaking to watch.

I watch Gardeners World with Monty Don and others on youtube weekly. They show so many interesting gardens, tips & tricks each week. Great general information & I've learned about proper ways of planting, pruning & maintenance. That show has been running for like 50 years.

Another fun one is Garden Rescue. It's premise is one homeowner (with a budget) picks between 2 custom designs and they then build/plan the garden. This one is more realistic and budget conscience.

Now if we could get some North American shows that would be awesome. Maybe ones for the warmer zones & one for the colder zones would be ideal.

My daughter and I watched two episodes of it. We loved it!

There is also a Gardener's World magazine that my local bookstore carries, I love Monty Don's dogs! The magazine has wonderful instructive articles including great ones for pruning everything. Spendy but well worth it.

On one of the episodes the backgarden was not much more than a narrow alleyway, but they managed to make half circle pots and had golden celebration espeliered along the wall with clematis

Finished watching the season last night. My favorite gardens were the one with the mud head, sensory garden for the special needs son, the sunken garden for the two girls and the last one with the tiny paved alleyway. I'll have to look up the other gardening series mentioned, I need a new show to watch.

I am addicted! I also love Garden Rescue. I watch on YouTube.
