Hostafan - I completely disagree, I’d love his garden. But we each have our own tastes! For example, I’m no fan of hostas And his fennel looks pretty darn tall to me... Mine is about 2 foot, but his looks at least 8! Admittedly, that’s not 10 or 12 I suppose. If I could grow some that tall I’d be very happy, I love it.
You disagree that the paths are so narrow that 2 people can't walk side by side? I'm sure there's not a garden on the planet which is universally loved by everyone. As I said, it's his garden and he loves it, that's the main thing.
I love Monty's garden, I love the filming, the dogs, and his calm presentation. But my favourite sort of garden? A jungle garden like the one a couple of weeks ago in North London. No lawn just trees and plants tumbling into each other. For me - paradise. (PS The absolute opposite to the garden I've inherited).

That garden was stunning, but it somehow had an " order " about it, less chaotic. It sounds like you have a bit of a project @Paul N Don't forget to take lots of photos, before and after . I'm planning a massive re-shuffle next year and create a jungle border .
A while ago my wife treated me to a PhotoBox photo album of our garden. This is where you send off all sorts of images of the garden (or whatever subject you like) and PhotoBox return to you a small bound book with the images in differing sizes. I now have wonderful pics of our last garden in it's prime, and it's now going into decline as whilst the new owners professed to have an interest in gardening, already a railway sleeper from a raised bed has been requisitioned into becoming a mantle piece. I fear it was be concreted over the next time I visit. Still shouldn't look back (too much). I have lots of plants saved and have spent a few weeks scratching my head trying to decide on paths, and how wide to make the beds. Fortunately we have some fabulous plants such as acers and a mature magnolia plus lots of various fuchsias, to enjoy in the meantime.
