Currently Playing: How I Turned A Dull Corner Into a Beautiful Garden Retreat!

Dark, overlooked corners are often the hardest parts of a garden to get right but for some people that's all the outdoor space they have. In this video I show you how with a few simple changes, how to transform even this most unloved of spaces. In our garden we have a corner that's overlooked and underwhelming. The first task is to add trellis to help block the view from next door. I then work on the bed underneath adding compost to the soil, removing the weeds and bringing a shrub back to life with some judicious pruning. Then I plant one of my favourite climbers, Trachelospermum, and carefully fix it to the trellis. The final touch is a new bench so I can admire my handiwork!
