I wish I'd made this path a decade ago

[@hmwjones]

"I've been carrying plants with my face."! Bwahahaha!!!!

[@stephaniebalducci6248]

I know...made my laugh! 🤣

[@sallywoods7131]

Been there, done that 😂😂😂

[@joannpreen5880]

I enjoy watching your videos and appreciate your vision. I also enjoy watching your recommendations whether good or bad. It helps me to appreciate different plants. My garden needs a lot of work which is going slowly because of recuperation. I love the different outdoor lighting with solar energy which is natural. Thanks for sharing this.

[@michelejoerres4165]

😊

[@janc8763]

Keeping it real!😂

[@ruthmccauley8546]

I enjoy Erin’s videos because she transplants from her own garden to fill in new beds. That is a good use of plants that need thinning and cheap enough for most of us to do. Thank you.

[@JamieSantos]

I agree. Who has a budget for 50 plants? Weekly? I am happy for those who do but it makes no sense for me to watch someone who cannot help me make use of what I have. I really appreciate those who teach me how to propagate and divide.

[@evanbean8813]

The lighting makes you WANT to walk down that path at night ..I love the way the light casts its glow on the garden .. how enchanting.

[@karenpretty2922]

I LOOOVE the final look of the path, with and without the lighting!

[@briandaniels4]

Totally agree! It’s encouraging to see a gardening channel that does realistic projects.

[@debbiemuir9865]

I love how the things you do are attainable to the average gardener without having to spend crazy amounts of money.

[@staciejackson7497]

Did she say what the cost was?

[@HowsItGrowing]

Please add to the more “plants for your face” fund. xo

[@crispinbirnbaum4936]

Erin has the best presentation around. She explains everything clearly and does not take herself or life too seriously. I learn a lot from her. Thank you so much for these videos.

[@gloriinher40s]

That's my favorite thing about her. She doesn't take herself too seriously and she makes gardening approachable.

[@TheMrspeel]

Love how the lights are dim until needed! I’m a big proponent of not adding unnecessary nighttime light pollution that confuses wildlife.

[@maureentaylor1769]

Your walkway turned out beautifully and the solar light are the perfect touch!!👍🏼❤️ Wearing a garlic necklace to keep the hackers away!!😂🤞🏼

[@carolrichard6351]

Speaking as someone who deals with shade in our gardens, the fact that the solar lights can still work is awesome!

[@franthomas5867]

I love that you're taking us through the install process and soooo appreciate your "Real gardening" for "real people"! Super fun. Thank you, Erin!!

[@marciaromanoff1805]

never would have believed that it could work out so well

[@maryfessler5692]

As I've aged I've begun recognize the need for the garden to be a safe accessible space and pathways and lighting are two ways to ensure that. Thank Erin, I love that you recognize that not everyone has a big budget and show us ways to work around that.

[@paulacothren3591]

I always love to see Erin complete her planned projects. They are inspiration to be thoughtful and unique, and I live for that.

[@joycemoulis4392]

The new path and planting looks beautiful and so inviting...design, plants, and lighting so natural. Love it all, Erin!

[@wbflowersvt]

The path came out great; those lights are fabulous! Stachys H. is one of my favorite plants. It just performs its head off with very little attention from me. Can't wait to see how everything has filled in after a couple months.

[@tahoe13868]

Wow! that path and the new lighting is stunning!! Congrats on a job well done and thanks for the giveaway Hoselink!!

[@rondatignor2300]

The lighting really is the icing on the cake for this area of your garden. Well done, Erin, on the whole project!!! 19:50

[@heatherbenton7746]

What an amazing transformation! Everything Erin does looks like its always been there and natural. The path is perfection!!

[@ceciliagonzales534]

It's those wonderful walkways that make our gardens feel like little rooms!

[@hooli737]

The path and corresponding lighting add something that is both charming and practical. I feel absolutely inspired to not put off projects outside that are difficult.

[@blossomcottagetoday]

Great job, so inspiring! I bought the globe lights from Hoselink after seeing yours last summer and love them. Path lights look super too!

[@gloriinher40s]

This was the perfect video to watch on a rainy Saturday morning with a cup of coffee in hand. That path is amazing! Did anyone else immediately think of a task (or 2) when she mentioned not allowing circumstances delay projects you really want to do? Because I did. Currently, we have a sump pump hose cutting across our yard because we installed and piped the sump pump ourselves but never got around to properly doing the outside part of it. We COULD bring in a professional, but "all" that's left to do is dig a trench and install the draining hose. We haven't done it out of laziness, pure and simple. We have to cut through the cement walkway and digging a trench in clay soil is a TON of work. We did it our first summer here to install draining on another part of the yard and man, we WERKED. We had to use pickaxes.. it was a muggy weekend.. there were bees.. ugh, the flashbacks lol Long story short, I needed this inspiration. Sick of that unsighly hose cutting across our beautiful yard.

[@reddirtgreenthumb3553]

I’m a small scale landscaper and I always recommend Hoselink products to my clients, it’s amazing how many people, especially elderly people still try to drag around an awkward, heavy old stiff hose that’s coiled up on the ground.🤦‍♀️. I can’t wait to try their solar lights!

[@proudmomma7095]

Ohh! That pathway lighting gives me such jealousy 😅😊. I have been using the cheaper ones from big box stores. So beautiful!

[@dianalawrence2756]

Your pathway is so charming, love it. The solar lighting enhances it. Thanks for the video.

[@Edu_Kate]

For my situation, I love my metal hose. They're lightweight and easy to coil. I have 3. Wish I'd known they come in longer lengths (online) than just 50'.

[@karenbruns5869]

I’m one of those seniors still dragging those heavy hoses. Got my eye on those hoselinks.

[@joycerapezzi2378]

What a great project to accomplish! The lights are the perfect icing on the cake.

[@cherylcsmith]

As the plants continue to grow over the pathway, it will feel more and more like a path into a secret garden. Love it!

[@ChrisRennix]

Erin, I've been exploring lighting for my garden for about 6 months now, and I was completely unaware hoselink had lighting. It's gorgeous! I look forward to all of your videos to find wonderful inspiration for my garden. I love your path, so thoughtfully created. Thank you!

[@amyj6458]

Looks so lovely! I tackled a pain in the butt project myself in the past few days and it feels so good to have accomplished it. Living in a rocky area I managed to move and shape in a lovely flower bed with perennials and annuals topped with mulch. 7 years of wanting to do it in my head! I'm proud if what I accomplished!

[@ltcneedstoplan]

The safety element of outdoor lighting was brought home to me when I took care of my daughter’s elderly dog. So it’s not only humans that benefit from a little pathway lighting! 😃 Everything looks terrific. It’s feels so great to get things accomplished. 👍🏻

[@cpaslick1]

That turned out beautifully. We had a similar path of limestone flagstones on mulch, and finally this spring we had someone come in and use the stones to create a solid path, filled with limestone fines and edged. As an older person with balance issues 🙂 I so appreciate it.

[@annwoleben5439]

The new path is so inviting and much safer. The lighting is perfect and does not detract from the plantings along the way. Good choice!

[@carlariedel8490]

Just lovely. Had no idea there were lights smart enough to be dim for ambience, then automatically brighten to illuminate a walking path. Brilliant! Everybody needs them!

[@cindysmithhoward]

Those lights are fabulous! Not sure I have ever seen such soft but excellent helpful lighting in a garden! And who cares if you have dirt on your face - you're digging in the dirt!! 🧑‍🌾

[@bethskis]

What a beautiful addition to your garden space!

[@carolinebaranczyk1131]

Hi Erin! The finished pathway is charming. I love the sound of footsteps on gravel....& The lighting is magical. ❤️🏡

[@ChristineMaleck]

I love how the lights brighten as you walk down the path and that the light is focused down!

[@karenstone5305]

I've recently come across your video's and I love what you do to your beautiful yard as well as your garden. You have a way about how you explain thing's which I can understand. I myself love working in my yard and in my garden to. The new step's you put in your path fits the landscape and it's so lovely at night. I look forward to watching what you come up with next. Also, the Lotus Pod and flower's bring back fond memories for me. When my little sister was alive we went camping here in Alabama. She and I got in her row boat and she knew exactly where the Lotus Pods were growing. That's exactly where we rowed to and picked some. We at the time made wreath's and the Lotus Pods were used as part of the decorations. Anyhow, thank you for sharing the Lotus because all I have now are the fond memories of my little sister and I picking them. She's no longer with us and I'm pretty sure she's picking Lotus unlike any Lotus on earth.

[@heidijones1516]

What a fabulous transformation! Thanks so much for keepin' it real Erin💚💙💜

[@hcoley37]

What an awesome addition to your already beautiful space. I love that you always have new ideas and new varieties of plants to share. I realize here our lighting game is definitely lacking. Love this!

[@amandahouser1664]

I really appreciate how you borrow from your own garden - something I tend to forget about at times. It makes sense on so many levels!

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

The path turned out so beautiful and love the choice of plants. Nothing better than shopping your own garden for plants!

[@kathymomcilovich2939]

Hi, Erin. Your lights do a great job in illuminating the new plants. I love the whole project!

[@michellestivers8232]

I love how the lights bring life to the nighttime garden! Beautiful!!!

[@christinestefanides2494]

Oh, I really love how the path turned out ... now it is super- inviting! It will only look better as those new plantings soften the edges. Love it.

[@lindawright4981]

What a difference! So natural, fits in with the landscape. Love the lights. So welcoming.

[@HowsItGrowing]

It looks phenomenal. Job well done. I love to see your visions come alive!

[@lauriebartkowiak8849]

Its so great that you can buy solar lights that actually work. And what a bonus that its bright. Great job Hoselink!

[@ashleywoods423]

The pathway looks gorgeous, Erin! Lighting can add such a whimsical element to the yard. I'm in the midst of working on our yard and adding plants in gaps to add some color. However, I currently have a 9 month-old newfie puppy, whom seems to think a freshly planted flower bed is a gift for himself to dig up, lol! (I'm sure you can relate to the newfie life, as well, ha!) Happy gardening - Ashley

[@sncmom2000]

I enjoy how you keep it -saying so real sounds dumb, but that’s what I mean. You garden like I do, but with so much more skill and imagination. Those path lights add so much. Well done!

[@kerrydibiasio3784]

Your garden is so beautiful and natural. It's like a park you just want to stroll around with a glass of 🍷!!

[@cordeliaturp1813]

There is just something so beautiful about lighting in the garden… definitely a nice touch to the garden in the summer evenings.

[@lorilovas]

The pathway turned out beautifully. Better late than never! The lighting makes it even more charming.

[@Andi_K715]

We don't get to see many evening views from gardening KZbin channels. I love that you do share these views occasionally, and this particular evening view is stunning. ❤

[@kimgoodwin5653]

Love the path and the plants. Those lights really add ambiance. I love that they are dim until motion is detected.

[@lizpoole82]

I'm surprised those lights pull enough energy to work in that shady-part sun area. That's awesome! Your path looks marvelous! I can imagine the plants in a year or two, and it's gonna be gorgeous and so natural looking❤!

[@chrisrfan]

Oh my goodness! What wonderful ideas you have given me for our VERY sloped back yard, that leads down to a little wooded area! The lighting is just stunning, and boy oh boy could I use them in multiple areas of my garden!

[@LeanneD4]

The new pathway looks fantastic, and the solar path lights really take it to the next level. So beautiful. I don't think anyone will mind walking down this path ever again!

[@betsybugsmith5324]

The path is very inviting now! Wonderful job. I love the lighting. You have a unique type of gardening and it is impressive. Lots of structure and different textures.

[@johannamorrise5203]

I love how the path turned out! It’s structured enough to be inviting to walk down, but still blends in beautifully with your very naturalistic planting style.

[@kathishamus7226]

Wow! The path is so inviting. I love how the lights get brighter as you walk the path...just beautiful.

[@janettleimer8331]

Carrying plants with your face is apparently keeping you young and beautiful! I need to do that more often. 😄 I love the design of the pathway you created and how you designed the plant layout around it. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

[@Bb-dq2to]

I love the new pathway and the lights. The lights would be a great addition to my slightly sunken patio, especially since they seem to be able to perform in areas with a little shade during the day. Really enjoy your channel - so many great ideas and tips I have received over the past few years. I was able to acquire a flat of gold hakonechloa grass this spring (thanks to Roy Dublin’s encouragement!) and the plugs were really small. I’ve been growing them on in pots, but was encouraged to see you planting some fairly small ones by the new pathway. The small plugs are so much easier to deal with in my heavy clay soil with lots of roots and rocks. My whole goal was to have enough of the grass to create a gold and blue foliage river along the pathway. You are a great inspiration.

[@Katsimagination21]

Wow ❤ The path and lighting changed the whole mood of the garden ! I LOVE IT !😊

[@upnorth21]

Oh my goodness, love the lights. That is one thing my garden is lacking! The lights from Hoselink are innovative with the motion detector. I'm so happy for you and your beautiful path, love everything about it. Like the small crushed rock. It is very inviting. Love the up lighting too It will be fun to watch the plants fill in. Found the Dark Side of the Moon at a nursery for $26! Yikes! Will keep on the lookout for it 😀 I finally lifted my half buried paver path so we could enjoy using it again; trimmed some branches so we could walk under. Now it is also inviting.

[@lorimariegrace614]

We have a set of steps to our lower garden that needs to be redone. We’ve lived here 15 years, and finally this year is the one to get it done. Demo starts in 2 weeks (after a camping trip to the mountains). Seeing your completed project has me even more excited!!

[@kathimckillip6743]

This area has turned out so lovely, Erin. So enjoyable seeing your visions turned into such unique beauty. Thank you for sharing and being so inspirational!

[@kayleeonstein]

I love that I get to see real garden spaces with different levels of refinements in your videos. Thank you!

[@jaisarowe5285]

Hey Erin! Love how peaceful your garden and new path looks and the lighting just really brings it all together! Thanks so much for sharing. The end scene where you show us how it looks at night…nothing better than being out in the garden at dusk in the summer surrounded by nature!! 🦉🌿🌾

[@nancyb9601]

Love the pathway and lighting! Gardens always look so different at night with the right lighting…..allows you to enjoy them in the evening instead of just during the day! Thanks Erin for all you do!!!

[@carollochridge1898]

The path, plants and lights look so inviting, Erin. Way to go! A job well done. We got rain in Tennessee the last two days thank the Lord. The perfect kind of rain for plants. Can’t wait to get blooms in my dahlias!

[@ellenputman526]

Breathtaking! What a beautiful thing to be able to enjoy the garden day and night!!!

[@kayjae3012]

I love watching your garden evolve over the years. You always inspire me to get out in my garden and get some work done. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening with us.

[@pambrewer9082]

Looks great Love how you take plugs , root plants etc to have more plants. Lightening knocks it up a notch..or two.

[@LitlPoot]

I so love those steps - very clean and the planting(s) you chose are perfect!!! Looking forward to seeing it all full grown & in bloom - it's going to be glorious. And the lighting is the most excellent addition - really highlights what you have created. Would love to do the same in my own garden - please & thank you (haha) 😁

[@Karen-ft6gi]

I Love how your path turned out Erin. ❤ The plants look Beautiful framing the walkway and the lighting is so soft and inviting!!! Your videos are such a pleasure to watch!!! I live in Wisconsin as well and love how your landscaping is very “Real” and doable for an average gardener. You have such a Great personality and I love getting new ideas from your videos. I only wish I could bring your zone to my area in central Wisconsin. Oh well, I can live it out through your videos! Thanks for doing such a Great job! Keep on doing what you do!!!!❤️🥰❤️

[@ebrusek]

What a beautiful,natural pathway. The lights are a real addition, functional yet subtle. I Really like the fact that they are motion activated to become brighter. Thank you for that additional bit of advise at the end. We all have projects that we put off, and we need to be reminded how much we will enjoy them if we 😊. Thank you for sharing.

[@barbarathompson7359]

Beautiful and peaceful. Perfect for a walk about the garden at dusk with a nice glass of wine!

[@DianeRedfern-wf1oh]

Erin, this path you designed is so well integrated into your garden. It looks like it's been there all along. I love your casual & organic sense of design. The motion sensor lighting is just awesome. You've created such a magical space. Thank you for always great videos!

[@SharaBdC]

So lovely!!! I like the night time shots too. The lights make it look magical!

[@barbaramoses3503]

Love my Hoselinks. Given to family members. Going to try the globes. Your path is awesome. Love the Colorado grass. Going to give it a try. Thanks for inspiring.

[@ericlopez568]

Love the new pathway with the addition of the lights . I think gardens are equally as pretty at night with landscape lighting .

[@kturula7017]

Your path turned out so well and I love the way it's lit up at night. I also like that the lights brighten as needed. That looks like a very inviting part of your garden now.

[@maryguinn359]

The new pathway looks beautiful especially with all the new plants and so muck safer. The lighting is magical at night and the motion detecting sensors are such a great idea. Love all of it.

[@GardenEvolution]

First and foremost, love how the path came out! Totally see ya doing the gravel on the other side in the future! Love how ya planted it up as well. Color but not relying on blooms and TEXTURE! the lights looks really good and I like how you uplit the trees.

[@KellyKnuth]

What a beautiful transformation!❤ The lighting added the perfect touch. Thank you as always for your keeping it real, down to earth comments!

[@maryrashford9196]

I real love the garden path and the lights that make it come alive at night.

[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

Pathways especially the ones lit make for such beautiful accents and functional purpose! Well done!!

[@nancyholbert2768]

Love your lighted path. So pretty and natural!!! The lights are inviting and add safety. Love your style!!!

[@melaniem5971]

Love the lights! Always a hit or miss with solar lights, they have improved over the decades

[@lorrihiggins6496]

What beautiful lighting. It's so amazing how they get brighter as you walk past. Thanks so much, Hoselink, for your incredible giveaway!

[@robinkinney377]

Your path is made even more beautiful by the addition of the Hoselink solar lights!❤

[@dalebrittenham1823]

The glow of the lights on the path looks so very peaceful. It's fun to see the wide variety of plants you have in your garden beds. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@joglesby8079]

Your new path is amazing! Love the pops of yellow foliage, and the lights give it just the right touch to draw you out of the house in the evening. Great job!

[@anthonycataldo171]

Those lights look great - so much nicer than the typical solar options. Path also looks great -congrats on finishing it up! We just redid our back patio after putting it off for 10 years and can 100% agree that we should have done it sooner as well!

[@pt8019]

It is such a magical look when lights are set around a garden. Love it!

[@BeverlyByer]

Wow! A true vision realized! The view in the daytime looks functional and very natural, but the night time view is so elegant and inviting! Just glowing! What a wonderful project; thank you for sharing it with us, Erin!

[@laurawentz2154]

I was carrying plants with my face. 🙂 I do that too. Love your path and all the plants you've put in.

[@pamelacallaway3922]

I like how the lights get brighter as you pass through the area. The plants you used are great. I have a few of them and agree that it makes you want to go through that path.

[@JM-lo8xu]

Erin, thank you for bringing us along! I feel like I'm right there with you, over for a cup o coffee. This path will be sooooo lush very soon! Congrats on the project!

[@ncflowergirl1446]

The path turned out nice even better with with with the hoselink solar lights. That hydrangea is finally being appreciated 😍

[@annetterummel607]

Oh my this path turned out so beautiful! I love the lighting...it is just the perfect amount of light.

[@angelaschettino1327]

I love the lights especially how they get brighter as you walk by!!!! Looks great!

[@sydslh]

Wow Erin what is an amazing transformation. I love the way the brick pathway turned out so beautiful the lighting gave it a touch that makes it own. And I love the lighting in your raised beds. Amazing.
