    You are a great interviewer Alexandra you ask lots of relevant question thankyou.
  • @ringerheringa3052
    Will have to continue working for at least 400 more years to save enough to buy a house like his ...
  • @susankrzywicki
    Yes! Native Plants, local stone, environmental care and awareness. Thank you.
  • @SpanishEclectic
    I always love it when Alexandra visits family in Australia! She finds the best garden experts to interview, and so much of what works there also works here in California. Another great interview!
  • @joannmicik1924
    Amazing. The very first thing Paul said was spot on. This is my biggest problem. I have a big garden and I tend to go too small: paths too narrow, plantings too spotty, borders too narrow. This constant sense of inadequacy :) Thank you SO very much for this inspiring vid.
  • @juliepardo7767
    Fantastic interview Alexandra! Natives, local resources, 100%!
  • @chrishoo2
    Such a gorgeous garden, plants & planting. Thank you so much for sharing, Alexandra. Greetings from Lisbon, Portugal!
  • @juliefrench1594
    So nice to actually see an Australian garden and an Australian designer.
  • @annadunleavy5872
    Great interview Alexandra. You continually provide diverse interviews, topics and education. Thank you!
  • @DownButNotOutYet
    Good afternoon Alexander, It is Easter Monday, I am watching this interview with this gorgeous landscaper/garden designer, good grief!!!, those hedges look like you have cut Styrofoam blocks, the lawns looks like velvet, those shaped hedges in the magnificent French/Italian urns, it is really magnificent. He is just a natural. I think this has been the most dynamic garden rooms ever seen on a gardening talk show, Chelsea has no foot hold here!! It was a real treat to view. Thank you for sharing with us and congratulations to Paul for sharing with us. Many blessings. Kind regards, Elize
  • @nebot777
    Wow! I’m impressed, especially by those geometrical bushes!
  • @dwoodbury
    Such beautiful landscapes and gardens. Inspiring!
  • @MilesSherry
    I agree about sizing. I used to go smaller but I’m slowly going with a grander scale. My gardens look much more beautiful and bolder now 🌳 🌲 🌴
  • @jackieweber3662
    I loved this video what a great interview. I'm going to buy the book!!
  • @AA-gl9lq
    Thank you for mentioning Iran, Syria, and Jordan. Gardening took a huge leap in Medieval Muslim Civilization.
  • @penelopehammerton2907
    Another great video, thank you both. Loved the photos of his designs, looking through a gateway or a circle in a hedge, his perennial beds in colours that suited the background shades. Must look at more of his designs.
