What a lovely garden; and the view of the lake from the bluff is wonderful. Thanks for the tour. I would love to see it in different seasons.

[@kantabangovindbhai3936]

Hi 😊

[@jeane561]

What beautiful gardens and what a view. Ok I have no idea what a jumping worm is but I probably would never come out of the house. I have a snake aversion and worms remind me of baby snakes. I really enjoyed the tour❤️❤️❤️

[@lisawalters5482]

She has gorgeous gardens and I bet her fall color is wonderful as well. It’s always fun to see other people’s gardens. Thanks you so very much for the tour. I really need a crabapple in my life. Lol. All the beautiful gardens I see has a crabapple or two. Hers is one of the prettiest. Take care and thanks again. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@kerrydibiasio3784]

I am floored by those gorgeous, humongous hostas!! And the Lady's Mantle...cut it out!! 😍😍😍Love everything and thank you for taking us along!

[@carollewinson1555]

This was so fun to watch! Unfortunately I didn’t see the video until fall ….. which made me think of how wonderful it would be to see their garden in each season!

[@kantabangovindbhai3936]

Hi 😊

[@j.m.7056]

Please thank your parents for sharing their garden. What a wonderful landscape! The gardens are just fabulous and it was great to hear about the changes over the years.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Wow, Erin, your parent's gardens are extremely gorgeous and so well maintained. You must have been inspired by your mom's love of gardening. You must be your mother's twin when it comes to surrounding your property with beautiful plants. Please tell your parents that we thank them for allowing you to share a glimpse of their lovely property with us. ~Margie

[@albertharold2565]

Hello,

[@albertharold2565]

how are you doing?

[@moniquegodon5712]

Thank you so much for showing us your mom’s gardens. So beautiful. I understand now where you get your passion for plants. We try to equal our mom’s beds but somehow she win at every turn. 😂 So many years of experience. Tell your mother that we simply love what she is doing in the garden.

[@katedorman7042]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your mom’s garden. Clearly, the apple 🍎 didn’t fall far from the tree. Would love another tour later in the summer.

[@kentaylor3319]

Hello Kate.. How are you doing today?

[@cynthiabercaw3462]

Holy cow, it's easy to see where you obtained your passion and skills for gardening. Well done Erin's mother!

[@sandyasposito8262]

WOW Your Mom's gardens are gorgeous!!!!!

[@moniquehuchet3646]

Great to see a garden in my zone

[@kantabangovindbhai3936]

Hi 😊

[@BellaSC]

That lake view is spectacular! I hope your mom enjoys some time on a lawn chair admiring the views. That’s a huge garden for one person. Truly beautiful.

[@kimberlyhughes9826]

Holy Cow! What a view. I think I'd move back home for that alone. Seriously, I can see why you're so inspired. Thank you for sharing this labor of love!

[@ammorales1524]

Beautiful garden. Kudos to your Mom! I do everything in my garden too and I love every minute of it. It’s where I lose myself. That’s the beauty of gardening.

[@kantabangovindbhai3936]

Hi 😊

[@judygraham2561]

Wow. What a wonderful piece of property and beautiful gardens. I don’t know how old your Mom is but I am encouraged to think that I can keep on building gardens even though I am in my 60’s. Thanks for sharing.

[@hobbitlady7568]

Oh. My. Goodness!!! I see where you get your talent from! Your mom is amazing, this garden is one of the best I've ever seen and I frequently read all the library books about the great gardens of the world. Unbelievable and stunning! I am like her, I do it all myself and PACK PACK PACK the plants in! :) It's the only way to go. Well done and THANK YOU for this tour!

[@kentaylor3319]

Good morning Hobbit..

[@kentaylor3319]

How are you doing today?

[@payton8613]

Packed beds and less weeds...grabs keys to head out for more hostas, telling hubby, "cuz Erin said so". LOL

[@crittergirl3647]

So, so lovely. My mom also believes in packing her flower beds to choke out weeds. Always a good plan!

[@bloomsbyamelie]

Your parents have such a nice property! What a blessing to be able to visit and lose yourself in this garden paradise!

[@cassandraberger9146]

Magnificent Spaces! I”m so envious of that gorgeous view!🤩

[@martiknapp762]

Such a beautiful garden, how sweet of your mom to let us see. I would love to see it again when other things are blooming.

[@andrisport]

Erin, thank you and your parents for sharing this amazing inspiring garden space!

[@cassandraberger9146]

A garden field trip! 👏👍👍

[@karacrawford7393]

So lucky to see the lake beyond the lawn! Your Mom is very talented!

[@TheBking01]

Wow Erin ,your mom’s garden is beautiful,she does what Claus does pack out your garden and leaves no room for weeds.What a great place to have grown up😊

[@ginafriend1690]

Lovely area, including the lake!! I planted Virgins Bower this year, but on trellis, up my tree, which I learned from another Gardner!

[@dianeasberry7928]

Thank you for the tour of your mom's garden, gorgeous. I can't imagine how she maintains all that lushness.

[@kentaylor3319]

Hello Diana.. How are you doing today?

[@darinbennett3638]

Erin, thanks for taking us on a tour of your parent's garden. Always fun to visit new gardens and get ideas that fit our zone/sun/shade areas!

[@lovepeace4635]

Your mom create a paradise in her huge yard , I'm speechless, is so beautiful and the lake view is amazing .

[@PleasantPrickles]

We now know where your passion for gardening comes from! Thanks for this amazing tour. Please thank mom and dad too. 🌸🌸🌸🌿🌿

[@HorticultureGeek]

Wow beautiful garden. We would absolutely love another tour later in the season and maybe we could even meet mom! 😁😍

[@jillshippy5157]

I love their garden. Wonderful to have the view of the lake! How interesting that her Siberian iris hadn’t bloomed in years as mine bloomed the first year I planted them and then nothing for several years UNTIL this year! I had resolved that I was going to take them out this year so I could plant something that would bloom and, bingo; beautiful flowers! So happy I didn’t get around to taking them out 🤣. Thank you for sharing your childhood home 👍🏻❣️

[@sallywoods7131]

Wow, Wow, Wow!! I figured your mom’s garden would be a cute ‘little old lady’ garden. The expanse of it and such well thought out design of simplicity with pops of beauty is just amazing and inspiring. Those hostas! And that clever shade bed with pots and european ginger! Always love the videos of your garden so it was fun to see where your garden passion ‘germinated’ 😁

[@lasinatl]

That view of the lake!!! Looks like an ocean.

[@amydeeds6248]

Yes 👍🏻 definitely give an update tour as the season progresses. Such a peaceful area in spite of the road. Love the view of Lake Michigan. I need to look up the fringe tree to see if it takes part shade. You can never have too many hostas! ☺️

[@lindaplaidduck]

Wow Erin! Thank you for this tour of your parent's lovely garden! It's so beautiful! God bless your Mom for maintaining it all so beautifully! I envy that level of energy!😂 Yes! I for one would enjoy revisiting to see other plants in their glory! Enjoy the rest of your summer!! 😉🌻🐝🦋🌳🌞🙋‍♀️❣

[@kentaylor3319]

Hello Linda... How are you doing today?

[@susanhorn3910]

👏👏👏Thanks, Mom! Your garden is lovely.😃🌸🌿

[@marianhintz9981]

So beautiful!!! I would like to see more of there garden as the seasons move forward. Tell your mom she’s awesome in tending to her yard beautiful!!

[@catherineengle4196]

Your moms garden is absolutely beautiful! Your mom should consider have an early turkey dinner. 😳 God bless

[@JoAnnBlondin]

What a beautiful space. Glad you added the drone shot of the water. So many marvelous plants.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Erin!! OMG 😱I now see where your inspiration and passion comes from. First of all the setting right off the lake is storybook just a gorgeous backdrop. What a treat sharing such a lovely garden and the architecture of the house is just spectacular. We can’t thank you enough. Please DO NOT make this the last tour of your parents garden. 💚💚💚💯

[@maurapichett3470]

Thank you and your Mom for sharing this lovely garden with so much inspiration, just like yours! I too love very close plant placement. Get to use many more plants and hardly any weeds. I have been gardening for over 40 years and am always ready to learn new things and enjoy others gardens. No worry with the hosta garden in the winter...it will be covered with snow.

[@laurajacobs-welch1990]

Thank you so much! Nice to have a different perspective and great job Mom!

[@christinahaftmann8837]

Absolutely majestic! Next time include your mother because she's quite an amazing gardener! Thank you for so much inspiration. 🌿🌺🌿💐🌿🌹🌿🌻🌿

[@TheImpatientGardener]

I did ask and the answer was a firm no but I'll see if she can be persuaded in the future.

[@christinahaftmann8837]

@@TheImpatientGardener Tell her she can wear a paper bag on her head! 😍 I know we would all enjoy seeing your interaction together. 😍 Or you can interview her while she's crouched down digging with her back to us. 😄 She's obviously a National treasure so do try to convince her! 🙏🌹🙏

[@margaretwalsh1456]

Really enjoyed seeing your parents garden....your mom is some lady to manage all that.

[@alexandraarias248]

Thank you Erin for showing us such a beautiful garden!!! I can’t get over the lake Michigan view 😍😍😍

[@marthaestrada8125]

Yes, that fringe tree is beautiful as is everything else. Would love for you to give us another tour in the summer. Thank you for this one.

[@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden]

Thank you for showing us your parents' garden! It's a lovely space and I can definitely see where you get some of your inspiration!

[@heatherw.2751]

Gosh, I love your mom’s garden!!! It is just beautiful! I’d love to see it at various times of the year.

[@jackiesplanthaven]

I’m in a zone 5 so I like to watch videos specific to my zone. Thanks for the tour.🌿🌿

[@maureenlevy207]

That is just so darn beautiful! Makes me miss my home state of WI...and ohh that view of the lake!! Thanks so much for sharing Mom's beautiful gardens!!

[@LitlPoot]

what a stunning garden ... one you could wander all day long !!! beautiful plants, trees, shrubs, etc. - thanks to your parent's and to you for sharing this beauty with us ... inspirational for sure !!

[@LitlPoot]

I'm gonna have to try you mom's deer repellent !!! I've also heard old milk/water mixture (or buttermilk) works to deter the deer as well ...

[@maryalexis7328]

Tell your mom thank you for letting us tour her beautiful yard.

[@Leah-ds5fy]

Beautuful! I planted green giant arborvitae in my front yard 4 years ago when I moved in. Planted little trees to screen away the fire station across the street. Getting close to hiding it and creating a much better view.

[@helenevans6132]

Erin your parents garden is fantastic and the view is breathrakingly beautiful. Yes it would be wonderful to see it thro the seasons

[@normahhamzah5282]

My goodness..yr Mom is really hard working n clever too..beautiful healthy plants..I enjoy yr video so much...

[@freyartz]

Loved seeing your mum's garden. We see where you get your love of gardening! Thanks for sharing

[@suziqbrown7073]

Loved seeing your parents garden. It's so nice to get videos this often

[@GardenEvolution]

She has some great layers in there and Even had me thinking about placement for plants in my own yard!

[@marilynruggeberg]

I can see where you get your Love of Gardening from. Beautiful Garden. I would love to see periodic Tours of her Garden.

[@jann6082]

Loved “moms” garden!,

[@deborahr9237]

I love the mod architecture of this home. Love all the gardens here - it's idyllic!! Beautiful - thanks for sharing. Yes please to another tour.

[@julipolito7761]

Omg! Sooo, beautiful! Thank you, mom n dad!

[@ericaallen3263]

*pauses video 14 seconds in* ERIN!!!! I am SO excited to see your parent garden!!!!!! 😃😃😃 Thanks for sharing 💖

[@sharonrickards3297]

Erin, I see where your love of gardening started. Your Mom's gardens are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing! (Love that water view).

[@hayleycoxe8274]

It's beautiful. I now know where you get your love of gardening and your green thumb from. Thanks to both you and your mom for sharing. Definitely interested in revisiting later.

[@heidijones1516]

I loved seeing your parents home and garden, so lush and pretty. I got my love of gardening from my Mom too, I really miss her - especially this time of year coming into spring.

[@Sunbeam4291]

Thanks for sharing your mom's garden with us. So beautiful and serene, especially the view of the water. Thanks mom.

[@dylan8285]

Omg amazing Garden and that view is spectacular, could sit and stare at that view all day was hoping you would show more of it. :)

[@sharonmassey9609]

Yes please! I would love to see her beautiful gardens again! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Jpatmeadowbrook]

Lovely! I have watched this 3 times. I have loaded my beds too but one plant she is missing is the helibore, lenten rose. I got my first helibore 30 years ago and fell in love with it because it’s deer resistant and evergreen, shade loving, tough plant for New Jersey. I got my love of gardening from my Mother too. A Rutgers Master Gardener who kept gardening until she was 98.

[@ericunderwood]

What a cool house! I love mid century architecture and can relate to the huge eves that make it difficult to plant along the house! While mine isn’t as mid century modern as their house, I love my 1957 ranch/rambler in the north Minneapolis suburbs. When we first bought it three years ago, I was excited that the front of our house faces SW because I thought I could plant almost anything there. Then I realized that thanks to the huge eves, it actually does not get any sun until nearly 1pm. Then when it doesn’t, it’s the scorching hot afternoon sun that reflects off of the stucco house! I’ve found it’s not enough sun for some sun plants to thrive, but then it’s too hot for a lot of things that can handle a little more shade. And I have to water a LOT, especially in the hottest parts of summer because even if it rains, it doesn’t get into the front bed because of the eves. So it’s been a challenging. After two full gardening seasons, Im still looking for perennials that will really thrive to finish filling in the back! I’ve definitely found things that I won’t plant there again including Cosmos, and Zinnias that’s I had there the first year, both of those actually died by the end of summer! Not sure if not enough sun, or too intense of sun in the afternoon! I will say that super hot area seems to maybe allow me to cheat a bit on zone hardiness. I have a non-hardy in my zone (4B) Mum that is coming back for the second Spring now, which makes me happy!

[@5262janna]

So nice to see where you got your talent. She is so talented.

[@GinaCriv]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR PARENTS MID-CENTURY HOUSE!!! The garden is lovely too. Thanks for sharing, Erin.

[@carolfisch9750]

Thank you for sharing your Mom’s (and Dad’s) garden. A lovely piece of heaven to enjoy. Please thank her for opening it to all of us. I can see where you get some of your inspiration.

[@ginger76661]

OH ERIN....this was STUNNING!!! I see where you get your talent from. Please follow up this fall with another tour.

[@joannereinauer7532]

Beautiful. The apple does not fall far from the tree. You are truly blessed, I have no idea where my love of gardening comes from.

[@laurenwellman2516]

Gorgeous gardens. You must get your love of gardening from your Mom. I get mine from my Dad. 🥰

[@neirishsmiles8005]

Thank you for sharing this video! What a wonderful display of plants trees and flowers ~. Kudos to your mom and dad for their thoughtfulness and creative design in their landscapes - well done ! It looks so inviting!

[@bryonyhellis]

The fringe tree, the huge evergreens and the Japanese forest grass mass plantings, so soothing. What an incredible backdrop with the lake too! I’m a fan of packing my flower beds to avoid weeds too, gotta love that! Thanks for sharing and I’d love to revisit.

[@MrRogersTrolley]

Thanks to your parents for sharing the views of their beautiful gardens and property. Their plot on the lake is to die for; what a treasure!

[@betty8023]

Thank you for sharing your parents wonderful garden with the spectacular view. It was a real treat! 💜 Gives you so many ideas.

[@carmenbailey1560]

No wonder you have a love for gardening, growing up in your mother’s garden would certainly have that effect. They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Beautiful garden layouts and Hostas bed are the best. I’ve always loved gardening and my daughter does as well, although her is more structured than mine, making her own style. Thanks for sharing your Mom’s gardens, do tell her we appreciate and admired her gardens. 👍❤️😊

[@waterkress4770]

Stunning! Thanks for sharing. Yes, please do at least one follow up tour so we can see how her garden grows through the season!

[@francesgraves920]

Beautiful gardens. Your Mom must be very busy maintaining them, Clearly the garden “bug” runs in your family!

[@karentemple5619]

Wow! Like mother, like daughter. Such a gorgeous location and amazing beds. Thank you for sharing.

[@kathleenfrieden5948]

Beautiful. Yes, more, please. Greetings from north Iowa.

[@cindylouwhobohl6983]

What a beautiful, beautiful garden! I would sit out on the deck with my coffee every morning! Love it! What a great place to grow up!

[@inglishhomeandgarden8386]

So nice to see your parents' garden. That pink shirt looks good on you! I especially like the densely planted hosta garden - and the great big evergreens! I'm sure Jumping Worms and Turkey Trouble is no laughing matter - but it sounds hilarious!! The Asarum Europaeum is my favourite ground cover too. I have a suggestion: how about planting those three pots up with some tall, lime green ferns - with the begonias around the edges? I think it would look good with something tall against the wall. Thanks to you and your parents for the tour! Ingela, Sweden

[@eleanorroper5657]

Thank you. I enjoyed seeing your mom's garden. I would love it if you would revisit it later in the season.
