-Welcome back to Pont y Twr. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:02 | |
-It's June, and the wedding season -is at its peak. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:07 | |
-The polytunnel is proving its worth. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
-Later, I'll be creating a bouquet -for a wedding this weekend. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
-While I do that, Iwan finds -inspiration from the past... | 0:00:16 | 0:00:21 | |
-..in a garden in Cardiff. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
-As they are in flower, -Meinir makes elderflower cordial... | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
-..and we look at the preparations -for summer in Portmeirion's garden. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:34 | |
-When someone considers -making changes to a house... | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
-..adding a conservatory, say, -or having a loft conversion... | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
-..a natural part of the process -is to fill in the relevant forms... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
-..and send them -to the local planning office. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
-You wouldn't think that the same -would be true for a garden... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
-..but that's exactly what residents -of this part of Cardiff have to do. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
-You tend to think -of conservation areas... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
-..as places that are rich -in wildlife or rare plants. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
-But parts of Rhiwbina -in the capital... | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
-..are protected -because of their special character. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
-The gardens are a central part -of that character. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-The building of Rhiwbina -Garden Village began in 1913. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
-The design reflected the values -of an architectural movement... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
-..that sought to make green spaces -an integral part of the city. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
-A central tenet -of the movement's philosophy... | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
-..was that the houses -should have gardens... | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-..laid out with hedges and trees, -as you see here. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-The aim was to create -a comfortable environment... | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
-.in which -the working classes could live. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-Somewhere attractive -to raise children. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-The grass verges, -trees, shrubs, paths and gates... | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
-..are a pattern -repeated on every street... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
-..and establish a unique character -for each one. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-Y Groes, one of the oldest parts -of the village, is a small square. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
-Early photos show that this was -the focus of village activities... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
-..on the green -at the centre of the square. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
-The latest generation -of residents... | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
-..include Richard -and Natalie Drury-Styles... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
-..and their children, -Moli-Nel, 6, and Beti, 3. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-The house is one of the oldest -in Rhiwbina... | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
-..and although the garden -has the area's trademark shrubs... | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-..there isn't much else in it... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-..apart from the lawn. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
-When Natalie contacted us, -that's what she wanted to change. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
-The opportunity to work in a listed -garden was too good to refuse. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
-You could do what you wanted with -the rear garden, where we are now. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
-But there's less flexibility -with the front garden. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-We live in a conservation area -and the houses are all listed. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
-So, you can't concrete the front?! | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
-So, you can't concrete the front?! - -No concrete, no decking, no drive. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-It keeps the house's character. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
-We've taken it to the extreme -by not doing anything at all. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
-That's going to change today. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
-We've tried to potter, -but we don't have much idea. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
-I think we need a guiding hand. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
-What we'd like to have -is some kind of sensory garden. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
-One of our daughters -was ill for a while... | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
-..and it has affected -her development. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
-This is Beti. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
-This is Beti. - -Beti, yes. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
-To promote development, -the neurologists encourage... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
-..lots of sensory things -in her life. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-Different things -to feel, see and hear. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
-The idea we have is a sensory garden -meeting an Arts and Crafts garden. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
-Great. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
-Would you like to see the plants? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
-Would you like to see the plants? - -We'd love to. Thank you. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-As you can see, -there are lots of plants. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
-I thought we'd have a border -on either side of the path. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
-When you walk in and out in summer, -there'll be lavender on one side. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
-That will flower every year -and give a lovely lavender aroma. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
-That'll be nice, -with the purple colour. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
-Both borders will extend -in front of the two windows. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
-But the first job is to remove -this Mexican orange blossom. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
-It may smell nice, but it doesn't -fit in with my garden design. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
-As this border isn't straight, -I'll mark the outline with twine. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-It's easier on the other side, -as that's a straight border.. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
-A length of timber is perfect. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
-As you can see, I've got a lot -of preparatory work to do. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
-When you come back, -I'll be ready to plant. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
-Portmeirion has six gardeners... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-..to tend both the formal gardens -and the Gwyllt wild gardens. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-That's a total of some 40 acres. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
-They require constant care -to maintain the expected standard. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
-I don't think any garden in Wales -is complete without a bed of roses. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
-A bed of roses -creates an impression... | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
-..and enriches the experience -of any visitor to the gardens. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:56 | |
-The king of roses, David Austin... | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
-..created these roses -especially for Portmeirion. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
-Rosa Sir Clough, Rosa Portmeirion... | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-..and Rosa Susan Williams-Ellis, -who created Portmeirion pottery. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
-One important element -when tending a bed of roses... | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
-..is to make sure -they're free from aphids. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-We tend to use garlic powder -mixed with water and soap... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
-..rather than chemicals. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-That does seem to work here. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
-It suits Portmeirion's green policy. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
-Contrary to popular opinion... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
-..black spot flourishes in areas -where the air is clean and healthy. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:46 | |
-It is starting to affect us now. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
-You can lose leaves -within a week of seeing it. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-Sadly, we have to use some chemicals -just to keep it in check. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:59 | |
-It's important to ensure -that the soil drains well. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
-Roses don't like damp or wet soil. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-Lots of manure and nutrients -are also vital. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
-The manure in this wheelbarrow has -been rotting for at least two years. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:17 | |
-This is like gold for us gardeners. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-This is the crowning glory -of a day of tending roses. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
-That was Gwynedd there, -showing how important it is... | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
-..to keep on top of all -the little jobs at this time... | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
-..on the cusp between two seasons. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
-Just look at these tulips. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-These leaves are dead now, -but I've left them there... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
-..because this how the bulbs -recover the nutrients. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-Very often, people -take up their tulip bulbs... | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-..but I've been very fortunate -over recent years. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-The tulips in the far border -have looked great year after year. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:10 | |
-I haven't lost any of them. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-I'm crossing my fingers that the -same will be true in this border. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-But because they do look -so ugly at the moment... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
-..I'm going to plant -this antirrhinum. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-I sowed these in the polytunnel -in the middle of February. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
-They've grown to an ideal size -to be planted outside. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-I'm planting them -around this clump of tulips... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
-..because I can see exactly -where the bulbs are. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
-Had I removed the leaves, -that wouldn't have been the case. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
-I'll leave them in place -until I finish, then remove them. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
-After the tulips die, remove -the heads before they run to seed. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-Deadhead them, -then wait about eight weeks... | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
-..until you see the leaves -turning brown, as these have. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-As you can see, they come out -of the soil very easily. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
-If they are harder to remove... | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
-..or if the leaves are still -a bit greener than these... | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
-..leave them for another fortnight -until they're ready to be removed... | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
-..or to be cut, as I'm doing here. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
-You could also add -fish blood and bone fertilizer... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
-..just to feed those bulbs. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-That makes quite a difference, -doesn't it? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
-This is Argyranthemum. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-It's a double white. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-They're great as small buttonholes. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
-I'll take these out. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
-That's the border tidied up... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-..and ready for the forthcoming -explosion of summer colour. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:15 | |
-That job -has certainly made me thirsty. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
-Meinir has the perfect answer -to my situation after the break. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
-. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:26 | |

-Yes, it's that time of year -when elderflowers are at their peak. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
-If you're quick, you can gather them -before they're past their best... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
-..to make a drink -that, for some, sums up summer. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-Elderflower cordial. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
-The way I usually make elderflower -cordial is in a bit of a rush. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:14 | |
-Some people leave the flowers -to soak for three weeks. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
-But I don't have the patience -to do that, to be honest. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
-I want it to be ready -almost as soon as I make it. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
-If you want cordial within a day, -this is the recipe for you. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
-First, soak the flowers -to remove any insects and dirt. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:37 | |
-In another saucepan, -I mix 2.5 kilos of caster sugar... | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
-..with 2.75 pints of water, -and melt the sugar over a low heat. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:49 | |
-Then turn the heat up -and bring it to a boil... | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
-..to clarify the liquid. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
-Add the flowers to the syrup... | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-..along with two peeled lemons -and the peel to add flavour... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
-..and 85g of citric acid. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
-Lemon juice will do -if you can't get hold of it. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
-Leave to stand for 24 hours. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
-Here's some I made yesterday. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
-This is the best part -of the whole process. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
-Pour the mixture -through a colander or a sieve. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:29 | |
-I use muslin as well to ensure -that any tiny bits of flower... | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
-..don't end up in the cordial. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-Pouring it in tidily is the big job! | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
-There we are. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
-Then, leave it... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
-..to do its wonderful work... | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
-..and create a superb golden liquid. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-Can you tell that I'm excited? | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-I then bottle the cordial. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
-Remember to sterilize -the bottles first. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
-This will keep for about six weeks. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
-You an also freeze it -in the form of cubes. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
-You can drink this -diluted with water... | 0:13:19 | 0:13:24 | |
-..or with some nice lemonade... | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-..or drink it with some Prosecco. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
-That's what I'm going to do now. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-An afternoon in the garden -with friends. What could be better? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
-Who wants to try some? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 | |
-Who wants to try some? - -Please! | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
-Iechyd da! | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
-Oh, that's really nice. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
-Welcome back to Rhiwbina. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
-The borders are taking shape -and the turf has been removed. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
-I've dug up the earth to -approximately the depth of a fork. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-The soil's pretty good, -fairly stony and light. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
-Ideal for Mediterranean plants -like rosemary and lavender. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:31 | |
-I won't add compost to those areas. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
-If lavender gets too many nutrients, -it grows too quickly. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
-I'll just add it -where I'm planting delphiniums... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
-..and other plants -that need more nutrients. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-I'm fairly happy -with how it all looks. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
-We're ready to start planting. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-While we do that, -Meinir will explain more... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
-..about plants and garden designs -that were in vogue a century ago. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:07 | |
-When Natalie and Richard's house -was built back in 1913... | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |
-..the Arts and Crafts movement -was at its most influential. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
-It was a wide-ranging movement -that touched upon various fields. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-Essentially, it railed against -the industrial Victorian ambiance. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-The movement's ideals -led to the creation... | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
-..of some of the period's -most astounding gardens. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-Arts and Crafts planting schemes -went against the Victorian trend... | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
-..of beds showing exotic plants. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
-Instead, there were trimmed hedges -around beds packed with flowers... | 0:15:48 | 0:15:54 | |
-..and borders full of colour, -from the foliage to the blooms. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
-Roses were one -of the most popular plants. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
-Entire beds of roses, in fact. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
-Roses of the same colour -or very similar. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
-They used the same plants -over and over. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
-Peonies were very popular. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
-Lady's mantle was a favourite... | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
-..for ground cover -and at the front of borders. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
-If you really want your garden -to have that Arts and Crafts feel... | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
-..you can't do without -lavender, delphiniums... | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
-..foxgloves and catmint. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
-Some wonderful images -from Meinir there. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
-We've almost finished planting here. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
-Natalie's going to plant -this rosemary. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-You like rosemary, I take it. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-You like rosemary, I take it. - -Yes, I do. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
-It smells nice. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:57 | |
-It smells nice. - -It does have a lovely aroma. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
-It also flowers -and is very good for bees. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
-I'm sure your garden -will attract a lot of bees. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
-I hope you don't mind visitors. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:08 | |
-I hope you don't mind visitors. - -Not at all. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:09 | |
-Over here we have this Stachys. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-You said that you wanted plants -to appeal to the senses. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
-This feels... | 0:17:17 | 0:17:18 | |
-This feels... - -..like velvet. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:19 | |
-It's lovely. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
-The common name is lamb's ear, -so I hope Beti likes it. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
-We'll plant it over there, -and the rosemary can go next to it. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
-The rosemary smells wonderful. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
-Little purple flowers -that bees love. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
-All that's left -is to water everything. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
-Do you like it? | 0:17:40 | 0:17:41 | |
-I haven't asked you that yet! | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
-I'm delighted. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:45 | |
-It provides a lot of interest -in the garden itself. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
-I love all the different -sensory elements. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
-The visual aspect, -the feel, the smells. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-Yes, we're delighted. Thank you. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
-Yes, we're delighted. Thank you. - -Marvellous. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:00 | |
-I hope it'll push you -to garden a bit more. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
-I hope so! | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
-I'll be back to check! | 0:18:05 | 0:18:06 | |
-I'll let you carry on with that. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-If that planting scheme -has inspired you... | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
-..there's a full list of plants used -on the series' website. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
-We're currently looking for gardens -to visit during summer and autumn. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:31 | |
-If you have a small job to do, -why don't you get in touch? | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
-Remember, we only have one day -to complete the job. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
-Tips From The Nursery | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
-One pot, three plants. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
-Million bells, petunia and verbena. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-Ideal for pots and hanging baskets. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
-Easy to care for. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:04 | |
-Give them lots of nutrients -and water, depending on the weather. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
-Very easy. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
-We have between six and twelve -different ones. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
-Some are wider, some taller, -different colours. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
-At this time of year, -a lot of customers ask... | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
-..how to keep hedges -and small trees like these in shape. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
-This is a box pyramid. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:30 | |
-We use old-fashioned shears... | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-..rather than a petrol -or electric trimmer. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
-Those can be a bit unwieldy. -These are ideal for the job. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-Once you've trimmed them -into shape... | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
-..give them nitrogen feed -to keep them green... | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
-..then lots of feed and water -through the summer. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
-Every summer is busy for me. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
-My job as a wedding flower arranger -takes me all over North Wales. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:03 | |
-This year is no different. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
-As it happens, -I have a wedding tomorrow. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
-Every client is different, -every wedding is different. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
-Some want formal -and structured arrangements. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
-Others want natural -and informal flowers... | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
-..that look as if they've -just come in from the garden. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
-I've bought some flowers... | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-..but I have lots more -to gather from the garden. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
-A lot of the flowers -for this particular bouquet... | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
-..would sit happily -in an Arts and Crafts border. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
-Catmint and Alchemilla mollis... | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-..this lovely pink antirrhinum... | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-..and, of course, roses. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-The first step -is to clean the stems... | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
-..including removing any thorns -from the rose stems. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-It would be a disaster -if one caught in the bride's dress. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
-Next, I need to create -an anchor point in the hand... | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
-..in order to start -to add the flowers. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-I need some greenery -to start with. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
-I'll use catmint and rosemary... | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
-..as a starting point. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-The stems need to go -in the same direction... | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
-..and create a spiral form. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
-The reason for placing all the stems -at the same angle... | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
-..is that when the time comes -to tie it all together... | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
-..the stems then protect each other. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-They fit together, -but none of them cross each other. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |
-If they crossed, they would break -when you tied the twine tightly. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:57 | |
-It's better that they go -in the same direction. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
-The flat, round rose is the centre -of attention, as you can see. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:07 | |
-I've also got elongated flowers, -the antirrhinum and catmint. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:13 | |
-The Alchemilla mollis is fluffy. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:18 | |
-The job this does... | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-..is to fill the empty spaces -between the main flowers. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
-If you bought flowers like these -in a shop, you could use Gypsophila. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:30 | |
-But the colour of this -makes the other flowers stand out. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
-Right. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:38 | |
-After knotting the twine, -I always use some tape... | 0:22:40 | 0:22:45 | |
-..just to make sure -that nothing moves. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
-Then a ribbon -as a finishing touch. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-I've chosen this cream colour. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
-That'll make a lovely bouquet -for the bride. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
-I hope she'll be happy. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
-That's it for another week. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
-I hope you can join us -again next week. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
-Until then, enjoy the gardening. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
