    You have grown beautiful wildflowers! And, no shade, your voice is perfect for falling asleep to. You should consider voicing bedtime stories.

    I’m just blown away, I really want to create a wildflower meadow this year I already have two ponds and I live on an estate! We feed the birds daily and utilise our garden as much as we can for wildlife. This has motivated me to buy some sand and seeds. Thank you!

    GREAT JOB..hello from ..Nova Scotia
  • Now that my husband has forgotten how to run the mower I can start changing our acre of lawn into a wildflower meadow. ❤
  • @Suburbangeek
    I'm probably as excited as you are; that was a great reveal! Aldi Ambassador - great stuff.

    I love wildflower gardens/meadows because not only are they beautiful, but they are also good for the area.

    I LOVE your approach Spectacular ! Wonderful vision along with a hands on approach, fully engaged with shovel, wheelbarrow, sweat equity and certainly heart, wonderful ! My shovel, wheelbarrow and vision have my garden, hardscape and body good and healthy and happy beyond words. My determination and will have been creating here on our land for decades, zero heavy equipment and on a substantial slope of a mountainside at that. A lifestyle to be fully engaged with your land is to honor and deeply respected in my opinion. Way to go as you enjoy the beauty that you've been creating.....

  • I'm digging my own wildlife pond in sandy soil at the moment. Its satisfying doing it by hand! It's going to be a 4 meter circle, covered in pebbles. I'm struggling to create shelves so I'm creating a beach all the way around the pond, and plant the plants into the pebbles and gravel. I'm exited to to see how yours turns out!!

    What a beautiful meadow! But remember to sow natives as it’s not just flowers that native species need but food for their larvae and to get lots of perennials so you will only have to sow them once!

  • Hi Mark, your wild flowers look gorgeous, I shop in Aldi so will be keeping an eye open in future. I like your channel very much. We moved three years ago to a bungalow with a fairly large garden, so I'm after all the tips and tricks I can get..lol. See you in the next one bye.
