Tour my parents' garden 🌿 Ornamental grasses at their peak!

[@flatcreek4665]

I LOVE the grasses used as a border before the woods! I may have to copy that. Mom is a great Gardener….the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree! Tell Mom thanks for letting us see her garden. It’s beautiful!

[@flatcreek4665]

I am taking note to try to find a Pegasus begonia next spring. That is spectacular!

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Thank your mom for sharing her lovely garden.

[@pharesk7508]

Loved seeing your mom’s garden. Thank her for letting us tour. ❤

[@rhondaschenk5727]

I love the maturity of your parents garden. The beautiful trees are stunning!

[@kaylynnlitersky2342]

Wow! Your mom has done a beautiful job !!

[@Honestly173]

This winter you should have a segment of how she overwinters that begonia!

[@gaysullivan1942]

I was just going to suggest this too.

[@gingercashman3289]

That combination of grasses and verbena bonariensis is stunning. I also love the entry with the pegasus begonia. The whole garden is amazing, thank you for sharing.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Gosh what a magical place. I wish you all had a longer growing season! We appreciate you sharing Momma's garden Erin!

[@jillsimpson8716]

You’re so proud of your momma 🥰 I see where you get your skills! So peaceful and beautiful

[@gretchenburton7184]

Your mother's garden is so peaceful and serene. Just so lovely and inspiring. Thank you to both of you❤

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Love your Mom’s garden!!!!! Beautiful🌿

[@joycemcginnis3723]

Your Mothers garden is fabulous!

[@janettefisher256]

🏡 beautiful, it’s great to learn gardening from our Moms ❤

[@JodyEickhoff]

Thanks for the tour of your mom’s beautiful gardens! Love the mature trees that surround the area and all the grasses. Please go back and show us the gardens in June or July when they’re bursting with color and the hostas are loving life! Thanks Erin!

[@jonnaryan8968]

What a beautiful and stunning garden! I love all the foliage plants. Good tip to plant the verbena bonariensis and grasses together. So inspiring! Thank you for sharing your mom’s garden❤

[@karenmorse7031]

That begonia is everything ❤

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

Grasses in their glory but that front entryway wow wow wow. Now we know where you got your love of gardening !

[@cnorovich48]

Thank you! So fun to tour a garden located geography near mine. My garden is on LakeMichigan like your moms but about 30 to the South, so……..GREAT IDEAS for me to steal! 😉 The effective use of grasses impressed upon me that I need to plant more. I can’t believe she overwinters that Begonia, stunning…not a single crispy edge on those leaves! Even this late in the season there was so much to see and appreciate. Thanks again for keeping it real👍.

[@kimbar11]

I just bought a lemon squeeze without a full plan of where I’d put it (shocker), and I walked around my yard and plopped it in front of the ninebark for contrast. So fun to hear that your mom did the same.

[@TheBarefootedGardener]

OMG! This garden is amazing, like holy smokes. Also… how time flies- the year 2000 being almost a quarter century ago is kind of crazy…

[@carlas872]

Your parent's garden is beautiful! I love the Seven Son Tree. Oh my gosh! Most of the time when you see them for sale they are only about 2 feet tall. That is great you were able to get the b&b. I also love the green giant arbs. Their structure is perfect. Thank you for sharing and thank you mom too.

[@paulap5578]

The Pegasus Begonia is Magnificent!! WOWZA!

[@upnorth21]

What a stunning landscape. Beautiful garden with room to experiment with whatever she wants. Love the view of the lake. Some favorites are the 7 Sons and the side of the house with all the texture plants. All Gold Hakonechloa, ginger ground cover, begonia. Love all the colors and textures of green.

[@angelaschettino1327]

Thank you for the tour of your mom’s garden. Love it!

[@BetsyAlt-d8n]

The apple didn't fall too far from the tree! Just beautiful...

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Your parents' garden is magical, your mom has a green thumb for sure. I need to get a Seven Son Tree and the evergreen ground cover that grows in shade, I think you said it's Russian Cypress. Please thank your mom for allowing you to show her garden to us. ~Margie🤗

[@sunitashastry5270]

I love esp the grasses. The row of them to keep out that vegetation, that little enclosure and of o course the grasses wow. They look great. ,

[@sherylemoore8626]

Mature gardens are so delightful! I have been reluctant to use grasses in my garden, but your mother's are so beautiful, I may have to give them another try. I hope we get some more tours of her garden in the future.

[@ladikmk]

So beautiful - your Mom's garden looks very restful to me; lots of shades of green, wispiness - and the movement from the grasses. Would love to see what it looks like in the Summer too. I have that little pink, ivory, green variegated sedum near the end of video - it's a beauty and fits in anywhere. The Seven Son tree is a beauty. Have only ever seen pics so it's great to see what it actually looks like in someone's garden. Thanks for sharing Erin.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Here’s a summer tour from a few years ago: Welcome to my parents' garden 🌿 Zone 5 garden tour kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJbRh4KOmrCej9E

[@cherylsanatore7631]

Loved your parent's garden 😍!

[@catherinerhyno9581]

Inspired by her use of grasses throughout... especially as they blow in the breezes!

[@christinestraub1994]

[@christinenagel8300]

Wow what a beautiful property!! Thanks to you and your parents for sharing 😀👏

[@judybrock5360]

Its Thanksgiving weekend here in 🇨🇦 . What a treat to enjoy your moms garden tour as a break from kitchen work 😊 Love when we get to visit ! Her home and setting on Lake Michigan ( I am a block from Lake Ontario ) is a slice of heaven. Thanks Erin and mom for this most enjoyable tour !

[@GrettaVanMaanen-pj8ql]

You just make me laugh! Your mom has beautiful gardens!❤️

[@gardensbyjudylevy8031]

Love your mom’s garden, such a beautiful peaceful place

[@BarbaraNice-u9n]

I also have a Seven Sons and it is amazing. It has grown pretty fast. Pollinator magnet and end of season beauty. You must get one!!

[@suekuly4723]

Enjoyed this tour. Can certainly see where you get your love for gardening from.

[@mardisteffenhagen]

Love this garden!!

[@BotanicAlley]

Some awesome planting combinations in this garden. Thank you for sharing!

[@AttnDefDis_]

So cool to tour your parents garden. And that seven son? I recognized it immediately because I just planted one this year. I love it already and I can't wait for it to be that big.

[@kimbar11]

So beautiful. The combination of textures is gorgeous.

[@JennJenn9]

Sich a lovely garden! How nice of your mom to share! I can see how she influenced you and how you’ve influenced her 😊

[@bettyboop1524]

What a beautiful garden - so peaceful.

[@shanamatteucci3980]

Glorious landscape. Grasses make it!❤

[@Cmash5195]

Fabulous idea about cutting back every other stalk of autumn joy sedum in June. Will definitely try it next year.

[@jenniferspoor2402]

I was so happy to see that you posted this, I was dying to see more of your parents’ garden after you posted about it on instagram.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Loved the tour. Thank your mom ❤

[@Flowers4Everyone]

The grasses are magical.

[@irma_brenton]

[@dawnlapinski6292]

Beautiful Begonia! Thank you both for sharing these great gardens.

[@bonniejackson7476]

It’s a beautiful garden! I do love the use of grasses!

[@christinestefanides2494]

What a beautiful garden! Thanks so much for taking us there!

[@TheTinkerersWife]

What a wonderful garden. The grasses... oh be still my beating heart! The trio of N. langtrees, V. bonariensis and the grasses is beautiful. The unpruned boxwood are really nice. So often we prune things into submission and miss seeing the beautiful natural habit they have. I am so sad about the Fringe Tree beung a host for Emerald ash borer. I was going to plant one here and local alerts the ash borer has become a major problem here.😢 It's so unfair. That ginger was such a surprise to me. I thought it needed more water, but that is so gorgeous. Your mom's marigolss withe that verbrna and grasses in the bacground was a win I thought. Quite cheerful really.

[@briandaniels4]

Your mom’s garden is great! Her use of texture and movement is amazing!

[@CPAndy-x5x]

I love love love that MCM house!

[@BarbieJ-1957]

Beautiful gardens. But really love their MCM home. Brings back memories of growing up in a MCM home. Wish I was still there. ❤

[@Angel-wolfe]

So many pretty plants to look at! Lots of them I don’t think I have ever seen before. That begonia! Wow it’s a stunner!

[@RocksieBaby]

WOW!!! Just WOW!!! So many ideas for my garden. Thanks so much to you and your mom for sharing. Your mom has a gift for beautiful plant combinations.

[@AlicePRabbits]

The Pegasus Begonia is gorgeous!

[@DebbieGautney]

Your mom's garden is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@hobbitlady7568]

Those arborvitae are so well suited to that place

[@TJacobs1148]

Thank you for the tour through your mom's garden.

[@RizeTB1]

I wish you could see the look on my face when that begonia came into frame😲 that front entry is the dream 💤 ☁️

[@dorothyfielding8209]

Enjoyed this tour. Thank you. It’s all lovely, but that formal entrance is beautiful. The house is the same vintage as me and I love how all the plants chosen and their arrangement perfectly suit the style and age of the home.

[@pattystrecker1867]

What beautiful property. Thanks for sharing!

That European Ginger looks amazing!

[@kathy8832]

Such a pretty garden. I love the sound of the trees in the wind!

[@heatherw.2751]

Gorgeous!

[@MourningDove-bn4dk]

The duranta was my favorite part. That color. I always bring mine inside for the winter.

[@nancypatterson374]

What a beautiful garden your mom has.. we see where your love of gardening comes from, gorgeous ❤

[@ytubechannel997]

Wow stunning architecture and gardens! The landscaping works so well with the style of house. Thanks for sharing.

[@sandraeriksen9818]

Love that tree at the start!

[@Katsimagination21]

You definitely get your gardening style from your Mom ! Love the Arborvitae trees ! I have a fence of them surrounding our back yard they are about 30 yrs old, probably 30 to 40 ft tall . Thank you for the tour ❤

[@PerennialProfiles]

I really like the ajuga reptans filling out the spaces in between the walking steps to the garage side door. What a great ground cover.

[@annwoleben5439]

I can see where you got your love of gardening. Lovely!

[@carolelogsdon9233]

LOVE it go mom!

[@amyk6403]

Beautiful garden! The grasses are enormous!

[@belindam3797]

Ahh, so cool! I saw your Mom’s incredible begonias over on insta and thought then- I would love to see more of the garden 😊 So thankyou. Its beautiful and testament to a very consistent and talented gardener! funnily enough I can aldo see a lot in common in both you and your Mom’s gardening styles- the perfect combination of planning and allowing plants to grow a little wild as well- its perfect.

[@susanaustin6353]

Lovely with the added bonus of Lake Michigan!

[@annespun]

Are you familiar with Perennial-Garden Staudehaven? They are a couple in Denmark who have lush cottage gardens and do a lot of seed collecting and sowing. Anyway, they have an awesome video from early this spring about staking their plants and how they use sticks and branches in different ways to stake up their tall things. It’s fantastic and would probably work well for you given your not urban location! Your mom’s house and yard is to die for!!❤

[@pocketsofmayhem]

I would like to know how your mom overwinters that Pegasus begonia. I want to try and save one I grew this year. What a beautiful garden❣️

[@neldahargo5933]

amazing. lovely

[@5262janna]

Fantastic tour! Gorgeous mature garden

[@kimlundquist3475]

Beautiful, Thanks for Sharing.

[@annmc3878]

I need some of those ideas. I love the style. I really like the orange pop of the marigolds. We have a seven sons tree too. It was very small last year, but really has been nice this year. I would like to underplant it with something that would show it off more. I’m not sure what.

[@KarenShirey]

wow! gorgeous garden Erin. I just ordered the Seven Sons Flower and then you show your Moms' and I gasped. I truly hope mine turns out like this one. Thank you for sharing this garden with us!

[@bethgoodwin9697]

Beautiful garden from every point of view! I have a couple of questions for all you Wisconsin gardeners. Are your summers considered cool? I love the Russian Cypress, but am afraid it’s too humid in Southern Indiana where I live. Now, about the grasses…Do you treat for ticks in a garden like this? I am nervous about putting stepping stones through tall grasses like these in our heavily tick infested area. I mean, I know they climb on all kinds of plants, but the gorgeously swaying grasses just seem like a perfect vehicle for the dang pests. Any tips? Thanks for the tour!

[@Anghooeyrhymeswithjulie]

so lovely! thanks for sharing the tour!

[@elijahthomas4080]

Beautiful garden and home! Would love another tour when the garden is in peak bloom in May/june!

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Here’s a tour I did there a few years ago: Welcome to my parents' garden 🌿 Zone 5 garden tour kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJbRh4KOmrCej9E

[@MyFocusVaries]

Those grasses! My hakonechloa reverted to plain green and now looks like a weed; but seeing your mom's tells me it's worth getting some more.

[@kturula7017]

What a beautiful and peaceful garden! Does your mom have a greenhouse for overwintering the tender plants? That seven sons tree is gorgeous and perfectly placed.

[@anne-9374]

Love all the grass and the peacefulness of their garden. Question, saw the cage on the ground at the end of the video. What critters are they trying to catch?

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Chipmunks I think

[@tbryant1966]

Beautiful!!! I'm so jealous 😂
