I absolutely love Allyson’s ‘naturalistic’ philosophy. I think she is one of my kindreds when it comes to propagation and encouraging what works. What a treasure! You have to go back to her garden periodically so we can see how it progresses…. Thanks for continuing to share your subscribers’ spaces.

[@marciar8909]

What a fun tour. Thanks. I love that her dad said, there’s nothing you can do that we can’t fix”. We all need a back up in our lives. ❤

[@user-iq7dl7he6r]

What an extremely talented lady yet humble. She is a natural on camera, Another excellent tour Janey! Love the senior puppy.

[@tlcgarden2300]

Allyson’s garden is beautiful! Not only is she resourceful, she is so inspirational! I love her ‘don’t be scared’ and ‘Just do it’ attitude. Allyson, thanks for sharing. Your shed is incredible. ❤M

[@sandraelliott2624]

I love that she includes her 16 year old puppy. I too have one the same age. Although Buckeye does not see well, but he loves the fresh air and being out in the garden. Allison garden was an inspiration to see all that she has done to make her garden very unique .

[@allysonwadkins6822]

Harry doesn’t see very well anymore either, so he’s pretty slow. But he still loves to be in the garden as well. ❤🐶

[@Rachel-mp6kf]

My jaw dropped when I saw the floor in her shed!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭 her whole garden is beautiful!!! And she definitely is super resourceful! Love it!!!!

[@kfetter9046]

OMG! A person who uses my "ocean sound" trick to ignore traffic noise! I thought I was the only one! Allyson is lucky to have had the chance to learn all this hands on stuff from her dad. I am afraid that I am all thumbs and clueless when it comes to building something. I love her dad's attitude about it. I always try to reuse what I have before buying. It really helps the budget. As a Christmas present, my husband built an adorable Little Library out of a birdbath base whose top was knocked off and broken by some rowdy raccoons, the wood box was made from pices of random lumber he found under the house that was going to get trashed, and my daughter painted a charming design on it, and I absolutely LOVE it! Btw, Harry is ADORABLE!🥰

[@marybeth4002]

Yes, 'resourceful' describes Allyson and her garden perfectly. I especially love that she is fearless, and therefore successful, in her attempts at gardening and building. She designed and made her own tomato cages that will last forever! - did everyone hear that? OMGoodness, the potting shed. I love the fact that it is simple in design and style as that equates to beauty. The story of the windows - I'm sure they were in rough shape but look how beautiful she restored them. Great tour, Janey.

[@celestearvin1685]

Henry was the true star of this video, love his little trot down the ramp. Love everything about this garden, so much inspiration and taking notes and stealing ideas!!!!

[@chafrajayfra32]

The shed is amazing, the floor unbelievably beautiful ❤. Her and her father should make and sell these sheds. Just gorgeous.

[@mariafaries2196]

Love love love this garden! Tip to get rid of gophers, moles and voles.... Juicy fruit gum! Tear the gum in half with the wrapper still on and then shake them out of the package onto the ground around your plants. Kills the critters without using chemicals. Happy Growing!

[@bettenotap4791]

Allyson! I’m so impressed, you planted a large tree right away, the tomato cages are ingenious, the shed is a dream, the wagons are so sweet, the arches add vertical height, you are a practical, go for it gardener. It’s a lovely property. 🇨🇦

[@catacombcatholic5571]

Wow oh wow! This has got to be the best garden! There is a thoughtful process to the placement of plants that I just LOVE! Thank you both!!!

[@christak1144]

I love this garden tour, it’s perfect size, and relatable, she did an amazing job with design.

[@bevjensen2278]

Allyson, you are soooo brilliant! That painted floor in your amazing shed! those windows! that dry sink! those wagons! your beautiful white picket fences and archways, the firepit area, it's all so amazing! But most of all your sheer fearlessness with plants. That courage to dig it up and move it, chop it in half and make two plants from one and then "see what happens". What a pleasure to meet you and visit your garden. Thank you Janey for these garden visits, they're amazing!

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Wow, Allyson's garden is a delight! Please thank her for allowing you to feature her landscape (and positive attitude) on your channel. I love it so much! 😍

[@sheilastromberger2275]

Great tour! I can relate to Allyson; I often think gardeners, especially new gardeners, “overthink” gardening….that takes the fun out of it 😊

[@Gaylarenee]

It’s so cool to me to see how differently plants grow in different environments. Our neighbor has Mexican petunia in her garden and consequently, it’s traveled under her privacy fence and going crazy across our lawn area. Just have to keep it mowed down. I put some in ten years ago on the other side of our property and I have been pulling it up for about eight years. I cut back black and blue salvia almost to the ground at least three times a season because it is such a bully but I would never be without it. It’s the hummingbird favorite. Your garden is wonderful and I love your big picture philosophy. Totally am with you on that. No fear. Experiment.

[@Brenda-fp5te]

Love her design in each separate area/rooms. Love the arches & great idea/info on the tomato cages, thank you. Her shed is to die for. Absolutely gorgeous yard.

[@maryd6745]

Love her garden! And love her not afraid to do things attitude - and that cutest little Harry - OMG he is so cute! Thank-you both for letting us see this great garden! Inspiring!

[@Thingys-Jill]

I absolutely LOVE your shed! I have several cattle panel arches, but I shaped them into Gothic arches. Gardens are never done because they evolve over time. Like you, I am doing all my own landscaping and it's a process. I found a praying mantis by my sweet potatoes and a dragon fly by my salvia. Your garden tour has been so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.

[@barbaracole4314]

Janey she is incredible, so resourceful, a real DIY gardener and home owner , gives inspiration to many others so glad you found her she is fascinating.

[@judyanderson8782]

When you first started the video in the front yard, I wasn't excited. But go thru the arch and wow. A different world. We've tried growing corn in a raised bed, not a good yield this year. We'll try next year. I love her two white arbors. Did she build them? After going thru the white arbors it's another world. Wow. Did she use stencil on the floor of her shed? Great idea for the tomato cages, wash tub, little wagons, making obelisks from vines, using cement blocks as risers.

[@jaynewarriner7214]

Beautiful and inspiring! My favorite part was don’t be afraid to fail. Great living an “abundant life”advice.!

[@Rebeccasimplecountrylife]

I love this garden and her wonderful attitude.

[@sheilagilleland4312]

Oh my gosh I love her she shed! The garden is absolutely beautiful also.

[@deliapeter4517]

To propagate your Mexican petunia, just simply break off a piece and stick it in water and it will grow roots over time. They also come in pink.

[@gardensbyjudylevy8031]

Love Allyson’s garden. So beautiful and her can do attitude is just like Laura. Thanks for sharing this garden Janey…

[@user-cp5ht1th6i]

Love Allyson’s garden such a treat to see another garden using power tools and not afraid to test the boundaries of a plant. Thank you

[@camillesnyder6604]

Love Allyson's garden, love her practical attitude, and as a dachshund owner, LOVE her old sausage dog with tongue and all!!

[@marymckay7154]

From one Allyson to another: I love what you have done in your garden. It is all so inspiring , your creative abilities are beautifully used, and that floor is so neat... Way to go!

[@susangrother8931]

Sweet Henry. Hope you have a few more good years❤️🐾! Love the attitude of divide, move, some die, etc. Patience is such a blessing!

[@gardengal26]

That was a really fun tour! I really appreciate Allyson’s attitude of “We’ll give it a try and see if it works.” Over the last few years I’ve started to adopt that attitude myself. My friend, Laura, from Oregon 😉really made me think about what I love in my garden and if it doesn’t make me happy, take it out. Changing my thinking has helped me tremendously and allowed me to find more joy in my garden.😊💚

[@LavenderandBluebirds]

Allyson, Your garden is gorgeous! I love all the salvias! I especially love that you have divided and propagated so many plants. My grandma always shared her plants with friends that way! I love that your hydrangeas are from your mom’s garden. I have a few plants in my garden that I received in the same way. So special that the plant has its own unique history. 💕 Janey, thank you so much for sharing Allyson’s garden with us. So very beautiful! 😍

[@juliapounds1391]

Another great garden visit!!! Thank you Allyson and Janey!!! Love the comment, that we’ve all learned from Laura!!! So true.

[@jennifermank182]

Allyson, you deserve all the praise you are receiving in these comments. I'm so happy you were able to do this. You have so many talents God has blessed you with and gardening is just one of the many.

[@julesdavis1845]

Fun! So encouraging. A Belgian wall on the full length of the municipal black wall would be stunning and help it not to radiate so much heat, and create great cohesion for the veg and hang out gardens.

[@lynnpurse]

What a great garden tour Janey! I love Allison's "try it and see" attitude - that's how you really learn to garden. I still have many plants from relatives and friends growing in my garden from 20 or 30 years ago that they gave me to get started - it's a link to those we love and treasure. ❤

[@simplybloom]

I audibly gasped when you walked into her raised bed area! Like a secret garden just like you said! That’s what I want for walking into my cut flower garden!

[@sandykoenig1666]

This was such a fun, informative and freeing video of Allyson's gardening. Now I will feel free to move things, try different plants and if they live it's party time and if not, I will try again. Allyson's shed is too perfect, I want one. The wire arbors are giving me ideas. Thank you Janey for the video.

[@julipolito7761]

Allyson is a hard working girl. The garden is gorgeous!!

[@Nellie_Burke]

Allyson is so cool! Harry is adorable! 😭❤️ I love this garden!

[@JMB-sassysixty]

Love Allyson’s garden! I definitely need to embrace her philosophy of don’t be afraid. I’m getting better at experimenting but its still hard for me when I lose plants.

[@CT-dz5ov]

By far my favorite favorite garden tour to date Janey

[@meggonemad2024]

Oh my goodness, you can definitely divide Mexican petunia. Dig out a chunk and move it. I have moved it all over my yard for years. I’m in the south zone eight and if I don’t keep an eye on it, it will take over here. I have a spot where I don’t want it anymore. I mow it every week, and it pops up again by the next week I have given a ton of it away. It has woody stems, and I cut it back every fall. 🌸

[@mildyweinstein7853]

Janey, thank you for another amazing garden tour. Allison is a very resourceful gardener and her results are amazing. I love her “ don’t be scared to try” attitude. I need to try dividing some of my plants after seeing her results, instead of taking cuttings to propagate.

[@peggydyson5415]

Another amazing garden. Love Sunday morning garden tours. I wish I could just throw things in the ground and they would grow the way hers does. Her ideas for tomato cages and trellises, so much better than we can find at stores. Thank you again, both of you, for a wonderful morning tour

[@donnaterrell938]

LOVE ALLYSON'S yard, gardens, shed...ALL of it!

[@twilde3754]

That Shed!! An inspiration...the floor has given me ideas!! Thanks Allyson and Janey!!

[@tammyrice1529]

Allyson your garden is beautiful. Here in Texas where we get more rain the Mexican Petunias are aggressive. They spread by underground rhizome. You can propagate by cuttings. I have rooted them in water and soil also. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and garden with us.

[@JoyfulJerseyGardening]

What a lush, well laid out, smartly developed (with all the dividing and propagating) garden!! And the shed, come on!! The Dutch door, the floor, the windows (and their price)…just ridiculous in such a good way! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space.

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

Thanks for the tour, Janey! Allyson does such a great job with her garden. I really enjoyed listening to her approach with gardening. I love everything about the garden, Allyson. I think a hidden gem is the block wall! As she said, she never has to replace it! I think I would head to my nearest antique store and find some really unique pieces to decorate the wall (unless she is prohibited from doing so, but we won't tell!) 😀

[@aboutthegarden]

I loved this video and this gorgeous garden. That shed are what dreams are made of. Thank you for an inspiring garden tour! 😊

[@alannakrinard826]

What a gorgeous garden tour! So inspiring to see Allyson's garden, and her creative endeavors. I love seeing local gardens that can survive our heat and wind.

[@TGSHomeandGarden]

She's special. I loved every inch of her garden!

[@sayitlouderforthepeopleint1114]

I love this garden. I like you and her together! Naturalistic!!

[@judybrown8233]

I just love these visiting garden tours!!! Allison’s garden is amazing!

[@user-yl4dc8vk1r]

Beautiful! I love how resourceful she is. I’m going to look at my prunnings differently now. Love these tours!

[@jeane561]

Allison is a very talented lady and I love her sweet doggie. The potting shed is awesome. Thanks Allison and Janey. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️

[@yvonnealexander3241]

Love Allison's attitude. I'm in love with the wall, the colors, the height. Perfect backdrop

[@pamd1861]

Love the shed! Love the wall backdrop and all the arches, great garden and space! 🌻

[@marleneegan-hm7lr]

She’s right, the Mexican petunia is invasive( in south texas). You can actually hear the seeds popping out which is kind of cool, but with the rain and humidity they take over.

[@lw2131]

Really, really well done and very helpful for encouraging me to follow my dream of a naturalistic, 'flowing' garden.

[@LindaParra-kr4kl]

FABULOUS VIDEO and Tour!!! I have to watch this again and again! I'm moving to my Daughter's in Bonita, CA and the ground is all sand. I need to put down the raised beds that are in this video. There are lots of gophers. What a lush garden.. I'm going to have to work fast. Thank you for sharing.......Continued Blessings to you both...

[@kmsch986]

It’s funny, when you guys talked about Kellogg soil, Epic Gardening did soil comparisons and it faired the worst. I switched to it last year and have had terrible results, kept wondering what was going on, and think it’s because it has too much wood not broken down yet. I’m going to use my extra bags as mulch, great idea!

[@jeannestephenson8011]

I have used Kellog outdoor potting soil as a mulch for years but am finally getting tired of needing to scratch the surface so water could get through because of the tightness of the pieces.

[@MyFocusVaries]

I watched that video. It wasn't even close to scientific. I think about the number of times I have big differences between individual plants where I've used exactly the same soil etc. You really need multiple plants for a fair comparison.

[@allysonwadkins6822]

Interesting! I didn’t see that video, but it really surprises me to hear this. I have used Kellogg brand soils for years and have never had a problem. My ground soil LOVES this as mulch!

[@twofeetintwo7003]

Truly, inspirational love her vision and space. If she has the design of her potting shed built by her father and can share. The size is perfect, and to keep seedlings outside in a potting shed is awesome.

[@jenmazz1257]

What a great tour!! Love her resourceful nature. Little Henry is adorable! That shady corner would look great with an underplanting of huchera and hostas under her crape Myrtle. Shed is beautiful 😍 🎉

[@marilyncanaday4862]

I love this garden! What a wonderful video! Thanks to all for sharing.❤

[@jillbruce3624]

Oh my, just love Allyson's garden. Those arches and her "give it a try" attitude is so cool.

[@redefiningmyself8598]

I love everything that Allyson has created. I especially adore the inter-generational family heirlooms from plants to the wagons. Very clever chick! ❤

[@heidim1377]

Allyson is so talented!

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Another beautiful garden, She is so fearless and humble. Thanks for showing your garden.

[@margarettekanealii4101]

Love what you’ve done to your garden. I also live in a beautiful but very windy area. Can’t wait to upgrading my garden.

[@user-pp6xw9mm5z]

Wow, such an awesome garden! I love Allison's positive fearless attitude and her resourcefulness! She is so inspirational, and her garden is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for another wonderful garden tour, Janey❣️💚

[@AliPillette]

Um!!!! What an amazing woman. That little garden shed is so beautiful. And those windows!!! All of it!!! Love so much.

[@gillbrown3523]

Just beautiful, I love her approach to gardening.😊

[@ashleyeaves9982]

What a fun tour. just so you know, you can very easily save the seeds from that black & blue salvia and easily grow tons of plants. They'll likely turn out purple.... but still very pretty. Love your channel!

[@kaychaney6102]

Such a fun tour with a lovely woman! Thank you both!

[@MSCuteGarden1]

❤What an humble person Allison is. I do admire her

[@darlenencambria]

Amazing garden and such a talented lady. Enjoy the garden tours.

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Janey🌺 . Wonderful tour at this stunning garden . Have a great day .🌺🌻🌺

[@dianegundy9380]

Allyson is such an inspiration! I’m heading into my garden right now to pick out plants to propagate.

[@8Gammie]

I love this video with Allyson!! thank you, to both of you for comments, advise. Loved it.

[@alexandragarry3143]

i have a sunflower forest this summer -- i am recuperating from foot surgery so can't get out like i want! It's kinda nice. Lots of clean up in the fall when i'll be able to but will enjoy ALL the sunflowers!!

[@tinaryan4917]

I have the Mexican Petunia new to my garden this year and I love it! Great garden, thanks for sharing ❤

[@JRP58]

Another great garden tour. I love Alison’s fearlessness. Thank you for sharing your garden with us.

[@jjjohnston545]

It’s absolutely beautiful. The back turned out to be quite the surprise. I think it would be nice if she does the front as well

[@djf8619]

What a lovely yard.

[@AngelaAbner77]

Stunning!! ❤glad I found this page she’s an inspiration!

[@frogjardin]

She has a beautiful and resourceful garden. Thanks for sharing! Yes, Mexican petunia is considered semi invasive in Texas.

[@MyFocusVaries]

That shed is wonderful, and the door shows off her amazing skills. Wow! Beautiful gardens.

[@TheBereangirl]

This is my kinda gal, and my kinda garden! @27:24...YES! As I was say, "I consider it as the sound of an Urban Ocean," then you ladies said it...ha ha ha. Just an idea for that amazing wall...you could espaliers some grape vines and fruit trees.☺️

[@karinhamann5019]

Allison, what a wonderful oasis you have created. I join Janey in saying how I love the way that you approach your gardening,...with no fear and a can-do attitude,

[@lisakallunki5042]

We used to do our tomato cages that same way. You actually can cut the zip ties at the end of the season and they will nest a little bit against each other but it does take some effort.

[@rhondafisher72]

What a wonderful garden, Allyson is so talented. Love it. I know you all live in the dry heat, which is a challenge to garden in . I live in New York with the 4 really different seasons but just love seeing your gardens. If anyone is interested in a kind of new You tuber that is in Michigan, her name is Jess and she has the most beautiful shade garden she calls The Gulley and it is packed full of Hosta's. Thank you Janey for sharing these garden tours.

[@emilysmn]

Such a gorgeous garden! I loved it all. And Harry coming down the ramp was adorable. ❤

[@fitzget01]

I just found you and I love Allyson’s can do attitude!! ❤❤❤

[@maureenmckenna5220]

She is very artistic. It shows in her choices in many ways.

[@Virginia-vn7ud]

Beautiful garden, I do the same in my garden and have also become obsessed and learning .😊

[@kathyv3909]

Yes!!! You can divide a Mexican Petunia. I've done it to mine in a container and shared with friends the last two years, and it is super happy, as usual, this year.
