My daughter thinks you are a real life princess... and I'll have to agree 100%.

[@comeagainjenn]

I also agree 🥹🫶

[@michelled.3849]

YES

[@ashleywallace8753]

I agree too!!

[@aussiebushgirl1829]

What an adorable thing to say. 🤗🧚‍♀️

[@anamarijaharmicar9535]

“Gardeners always live in beautiful places, for they make them so” Always loved that quote

[@nataliav1391]

I would really love to see a gardening 101 video. Where you can show us just exactly how you garden. From the type of soil, garden beds, brand of seeds, fertilizers and just everything you need to start a garden. I would love to start a garden one day and a video like this would be very helpful. I absolutely love your garden and your passion for it, and it has ultimately inspired me. Thank you so much sweet Allison for making videos like these. 💖

[@debilei1078]

Never plant mints or wisteria in the ground. Vines, they trail EVERYWHERE underground and come up everywhere you don’t want them and you can’t get rid of them! Likewise, chives in the ground self seed and blow EVERYWHERE!

[@alyssascalise8200]

could you do a video and share how you started/made your garden planner? Love the idea of something physical to add to every year

[@mariamangion21]

You’re such a joy and a blessing to watch, tag along with and learn from. Thank you for taking us on your journey through life 🩵 You’re such a role model for me and I’m sure to many others! I love how your videos, stories & posts give out a lot of positive vibes 🤍🌸 I can’t believe that Palmer turns 3 tomorrow 🐕‍🦺

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

🥹🌼 oh thank you soooo much, Maria! & SO SWEET of you to remember Palmer’s adoption day! So thankful for that pup 🐶

[@katharinedodson9330]

Allison, If you grind up your egg shells before putting them in the garden they will work much better. As they are or even just crunched up some more will take forever to break down. I actually dry the coffee grounds and mix with the powdered egg shell along with other things for our compost.

[@daytodaykat]

great tip thank you

[@JamieD_19]

Enjoying a beautiful sunny day in Michigan with some French press coffee and some catch up with Allison. 🌸

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Sounds lovely! Glad you’re getting some sunshine 🌞

[@maddisonbailey]

It is a sunny day in Michigan where I am as well! Beautiful ❤️

[@JamieD_19]

@@maddisonbailey certainty is!

[@kamahorodaphnepatra]

I watch these every night before I sleep, they are my lullabies. I always feel peaceful. They send me to bed. They are like my snacks. 😅

[@malindashumpert7956]

Good morning, Allison! I love watching your videos every Monday and Thursday morning because it's so inspiring and relaxing to watch, and it helps me be a bit more focused on what to do throughout the day and your editing is so creative and aesthetically pleasing 🌞💕

[@Crystal-ie2mb]

Thank you for the beautiful garden day video and prepping for spring! I’m looking forward to the new florals 🐛🦋🌸come to life in your garden 🪴. I think the outdoor shower idea sounds fun for the warm sunny days ahead.

[@debilei1078]

CUTE Top! Such cute clothes choices!

[@Fatimasroots]

Your garden will do AMAZING with that soil!!🌿 I’m excited to get out into my garden also I hope I can make my videos as dreamy as yours✨ thank you for the inspiration🫶🏼

[@gabylovex]

Love watching your videos to brighten my day! Thank you for sharing bits of you life with us 🩷 Can’t wait to see all the flowers in bloom! 🌸🌼

[@kellir6622]

Happy Frog soil is amazing! It’s all we use. It was made for cannabis growers but it works so well with everything! You’ll notice a big difference this year with everything you plant!

[@kathywest1023]

I just love the planning you do ahead of time with beautiful intentions for your gardens. Every year your gardens are beautiful. My favorite part is the butterflies of course! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@spreadinhoneyflowerfarm]

I’m a flower farmer, if you love zinnias check out the varieties that just got released this year from Floret Flower. They are pastel/blush mixes and are so beautiful.

[@nitanalleyclark802]

I can’t believe your planting already! Here in Kentucky our best time to plant will be mid April or after Mother’s Day! Just to be on the safe side for flowers! It depends on what you’re planting! You are a meticulous gardener, I usually just throw my seeds in🤣

[@AngieNic]

I pray when I am able to buy a home, it will be as homey and cozy as yours. You and your home brings such peace ❤️

[@gargipanigrahi937]

Your garden is literally a dream! Thank you for sharing your space with us

[@michellewissler3013]

Hello Allison What a beautiful day to garden! So excited for you! Your choice of flowers are so pretty and whimsical, love it! I can't wait to see how everything turns out! Wishing you much success ☺️ Thank you for the wonderful inspiration. We will be planting in our garden soon and you gave me some great ideas! Wishing you a lovely Spring full of love, laughter and much joy🌻🪻🌷🌼🦋💖

[@beHappy_today]

I am going to enjoy this one so so much! Thank you Allison!🌱🌸

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Like 37👍.The weather is finally brightening up in the UK. You always make the sunshine every Spring Allison🌼🌸☀️, wishing you and Brandon a happy Pancake and valentines day this week🥞🩷

[@mmurray9330]

Allison, This was such a pleasure to watch! I so enjoyed watching you plant up so many of your upcoming flowers, I cant wait to see updates on there progress for sure! Of course Palmer, was so adorable walking towards as if to say.. "Mommy whatcha doing"? Your backyard is such an oasis now. It really is such a welcoming and relaxing lot to just forget about all the troubles and conflict of this broken world. Thank you for this gift that you have created for everyone to have the opportunity to just have a few moments to block everything out and just relax with a cup of coffee or tea!❤

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Allison welcome back so happy you posted today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

[@aileenbell6750]

Oh I love seeing how far your garden has come since the very beginning. Everything looks wonderful! ❤

[@calliedanielle]

is it bad i've already watched this twice?! your garden content is my absolute favorite! ◡̈

[@heaveningarden6483]

Gardening is always satisfying 💚Keep posting 🍃

[@rosamondhazell2149]

Allison thank you for that beautiful gardening video. I can’t wait to start mine but the weather is not ready for me yet. Your videos are so peaceful and relaxing!!

[@gemmac.8986]

Love your garden videos !!! I’m about to start prepping mine too :) thanks for the inspiration

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Yay! Happy prepping & planting! 🌸🌱🌼🧚

[@rachelschappacher1100]

Oh how your video makes me linger over beautiful memories of our Lakeland, Florida yard that I filled with all kinds of unique plants...the air was perfect this time of year! We lived near Lakeland Linder Airport and used to see the hot air balloons and air shows soar over our house...thank you for being so positive and passionate about whatever you do! You are appreciated far and wide! 🥰 Happy early Galentine's Day!

[@chooselife3750]

I wish we already had proper spring in Germany. Thanks for making the wait for nicer weather more bearable!

[@Jdhdbmxsj]

I enjoy your videos much! Hope you have a wonderful Monday 🦋☀️ 🩷

[@sonicrevolver2917]

We bought several second hand serving bowls and scattered them in the garden. We filled them with water for the woodland visitors! Fun to watch the birds enjoy a bath and the squirrels and rabbits get their drinks. But if you do this, make sure you put some stones on one side so the bees and butterflies can also enjoy.

[@joniuptain5509]

I just want to know what kind of childhood you had. lol. I’m probably 10 years older than you and no where near as put together/creative/efficient/lovely. Great video! I absolutely love Zinnias and sunflowers too. They add so much life and color to a space!! We got too busy to put forth much effort in our garden this year, but we had a ton of volunteer zinnia/sunflowers pop up like crazy from last year. It motivated me to do some succession planting!! I’m a new subscriber…. Thanks for the effort you put into your videos. It’s so enjoyable to see!

[@andrea.6405]

As I'm in garden zone 5 and it's still snowy and below freezing for a long time - your video was such a vibrant spring vibe❤

[@madina8902]

It 's such a comfort , keep it up ✊

[@susanaquintero7906]

Soy de Culiacán Sinaloa, y empecé a ver tus videos con el objetivo de aprender inglés (pronunciación en específico) y desde que presté atención a los detalles, eres increíble Allison, veo tu vida y pienso, quiero este tipo de vida en mi vida, desde muy pequeña me he interesado en el campo y demás. Gracias por calmar mi ansiedad e inspirarme 🩷.

[@evaherion9124]

Your outfit is THE CUTEST!!!

[@rachelkeller2751]

You won't regret an outdoor shower. We have one and they really are amazing. And kids love them. Plus keeps bathroom cleaner. Great after a beach day as well.

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Happy Monday, darling Allison! What a joyous and precious vlog!!! Your garden is gorgeous. May you have a beautiful, blessed and peaceful week. Happy birthday, sweet Palmer! 🌻❤

[@_haleymadison_]

Girlie hydrangeas would grow beautifully at that side of your house where the sunlight is spotty! 😍❤️❤️

[@sheliar9541]

" To plant a garden, is to believe in tomorrow. " Audrey Hepburn. One of my favorite quotes. Allison, Have you ever planted Moonflowers ?. I've been planting them every year for about 4 years now. Absolutely gorgeous. I love your moon phases stepping stones !.

[@atlantapage1153]

I watched the whole video. I can't wait to see how it grows. I am always amazed at how plants come from such little seeds.

[@vanessapodkomorski942]

As a fellow Floridian, I sometimes don’t know what to plant. Thank you for the inspiration. Btw, I planted lettuces like you suggested and they are thriving. We’re having a lot of yummy salads.

[@leesawarshauer7928]

Yes .sweet potato would go there..and green beans..watch the sun. You always need about 4-5 hours and..sweet 1000 from Home Depot. Best cherry tomatoes!!

[@jordanmincey5446]

Omg you’re beautiful!!! So excited I found your channel!🥹

[@debbiekotch6006]

Good luck with your garden. I hope it does well! Very soothing to watch you work.

Thank you! I love this gardening videos! 🩷🩷🩷

Hello I am ready for some planting but our weather here in Texas is still up and down. So we are waiting a little bit I did start cleaning up.🏠🏠🏠

[@laurarahelbailey]

Such a lovely start to the garden. ✨🎉🙌 I'm going with a very beige and pink color pallet for my garden this year and so excited to plan and map it out soon! Must be so exciting to have such an early start to the season 🎉😍

[@iamsuperlious]

Great video! I’m in zone 9 b too (Land O Lakes, Fl). Definitely inspiring me to get my Spring garden going! Happy Frog soul is the best, you’ll never want to go back to using any other soil after it.

[@rhondadixon1782]

Happy gardening, Allison ❤😊

[@crescentandsparrow27]

Loved watching this while getting my seeds started in soil blocks - we are zone 8a so I will need to wait a bit until I can bring them outside. But this was so nice to watch....cant wait for the growing season 💐

[@Findinglifesbeauty]

So excited to see how this turns out 🦋

[@_haleymadison_]

Also tin art for your outdoor garden bench! It won’t fade! 💞💞

[@marta7716]

Esas plantas son realmente felices con una jardinera como tú ❤

[@justathought1971]

Love your flower choice collection can’t wait to see the table arrangements 🙌soooo pretty !!!

[@emilijad1402]

Your garden videos are my favorite! Looking forward to more of them this spring 👩🏼‍🌾🌻🍅🥕

[@debbielenoir5472]

I cannot believe I just saw a cup from the a Lenox Stoneware collection in your opening screen!!! I have the same collection which I chose when we were married in 1975. In fact, our wedding bouquets even contained daisies and my dress was champagne white with a yellow bow.

[@susanaquintero7906]

Love you Allison. Eres paz para mi vida 💗

[@varsharanimusic]

Looking so beautiful and elegant ❤✨ Your vlogs makes me feel happy ✨😊 I'm obsessed with your cosy videos 💕

[@debbrajsligar]

🌷🌻🪻🌹🌾, can't wait to see them all blooming!!

[@HMF_2019]

This was so relaxing to watch❤

[@jessicaleighlaib]

Great video! A tip: grind up those egg shells with the coffee grounds and integrate them into the soil instead of just placing them on top - that's going to actually improve your soil. You're not going to get the impact you're looking for if you just put them on top of the soil like that! Happy planting!

[@mayacochrane23]

Your editing style is so pretty and relaxing ❤️

[@allysong]

I love Gardening I’m So happy I came across you on my page! 🌷🌷🌷🌷can’t wait to see how everything grows !

[@itsashleyelizabethxo5810]

I look forward to all of your garden videos ❤

[@Rockaholic97]

Thank you for always being an inspiration! You have inspired me to try and grow cherry tomatoes and sweet peppers this season. Live in an apartment so my small balcony will have to do, wish me luck! lol

[@readsandeats2263]

Your garden will look beautiful and the wildlife will love it.

[@KatherineMarieDiaries]

I absolutely love that updo hairstyle and citrus fruit top on you! 😍🍊💛 Beautiful! ✨

[@lovebeautifulthings1.m]

You can collect and then grind your egg shells and the sprinkle in your garden. 😊

[@amberchambers4814]

Ahhh this is inspiring me to get my garden going!!

[@raygancrosson8116]

Great soil! Also, don’t plant your sweet potatoes in the ground. It’s a vine, it will wind up everywhere.

[@growwithhan]

Loving the garden content 💚

[@christinaewanganetwork]

Your video is so nurturing! Very beautiful

[@lotuspetal5143]

Your content is so enjoyable ❤

[@sevalahanic211]

I was waiting for iced coffee time 😊❤

[@dianegatling5248]

I love that you are a visionary. ❤

[@leesawarshauer7928]

Get some mushroom compost .if you can find it. Great to mix in the soil.

[@ievaozo]

As always LOVE your videos! They are just so comforting, always look forward to see what you are up to. How fun is that! I bought seeds as well and will experiment this season. I have also Persian Jewels - Love in the Mist, but I have mix and zone 9a (Jax) look forward how they grow in your area. And Zinnias! oh I have Cupcake Pink Zinnia and made me think of you ❤ Good luck and look forward for your garden updates!

[@BorisBoris-sl1sf]

In another video you mentioned that you’re planning to move from Norway to the US? Hope you’re doing ok.

[@RachelBuxton]

Oh I adore your videos ❤🥰

[@beau5977]

I'm in Canada the winter season is very long i cant wait for the summer mai or juin to start gardening 🌱🌼🌺🏵🌿.

[@maryturner5018]

I love Zinnias & have them every year. I can't wait to get out in the garden but I live in Syracuse NY so it will be a few months.

[@reyofsunshine7171]

Alison you look so beautiful in this , like a little garden fairy 🧚‍♀️ ✨️

[@NikkiScatch84]

I’m looking forward to spring! 🌸

[@taracassel1884]

I’m not 100% sure if this, but I think you may need a second elderberry bush from a different plant (not a cutting of your current one) to pollinate and produce berries? Again, not 100% sure, but may be good to look in to!

[@MADEproductions365]

Did you link the trellises somewhere??

[@lizi5978]

Hi!! I love your videos so so much

[@canalawrence9878]

I'm so jealous here in Wisconsin! It's been in the 40's which is so warm but we won't be able to even think about planting until May! 😢

[@debilei1078]

Add mushroom compost to your beds, fantastic!

[@MargieLeigh3]

my grandma has the same mugs that you used in the intro :)

[@stefanavanloon]

Would you be able to link where you got your seeds from?? I'd love to get some for my garden this year!

[@loopy18lau]

Gorgeous! Did you make your patio water feature? I would love to make something like that x

[@michelled.3849]

As your showing springy stuff, my dog is in the yard jumping around in a foot of snow

[@lovebeautifulthings1.m]

Love your Garden journal.

[@debilei1078]

Green Light Root Stimulator, amazing fertilizer!

[@priscillalimardo6286]

This is a fun video and i cannot wait to see how everything turns out!! Btw i love the jeans you are wearing! Where are they from?

[@ntese22]

Will you please link your garden book and page inserts? So cute!

[@meghanmaughan8270]

Might be too late since you taped it…but it be a good idea to mod podge the beautiful picture you created! You can buy water proof mod podge. I used it for some cute garden decor I made and it’s held up for two seasons now! Happy gardening 👩‍🌾 🌻🌻
