Nature Took Over My Garden for 15 Years — I’m Taking It Back

This video is me trying to bring an abandoned garden back to life — working against time, the seasons, and more self-doubt than I expected, all for a place that means more to me than I can easily explain.

After years of neglect, my garden had become unrecognisable — overtaken by nature and time. This video follows the process of cleaning, reclaiming, and beginning the long journey of restoration. It’s not just about gardening, but about returning, rebuilding, and reconnecting with land that was once home.
Thank you for watching, and for being part of this journey!
