I like how you talk about needing to do “editing” in the garden, while purposefully not editing the videos for a certain perfected look or sound. Your natural style is so down to earth and refreshingly real. With so many videos across this platform that are so highly edited, it is refreshing to just see life as it is…weeds, grass jumping across the mowing strips, along with the beauty of life and growth in the garden in the current state.
Agree, and I’m taking EDITING to heart, it was carnage in my north west Michigan garden this morning….and looks much improved!
I like seeing weeds and grass in your gardens. It's a never ending task to clean out beds. It can drive me crazy 🤪 seeing you relaxed about it eases my anxiousness. Perennials and shrubs seem to be on steroids this spring. My gallium is huge and prolific!
I agree ! 💯 %
Greetings from Ireland, Beautiful garden, Its the bees knees. Twenty years ago we bought a cottage in rural Ireland with grass in the small front garden and grass in the bigger back garden. Great all I have to do is cut the grass, one day my wife told me she wanted me to dig a flowerbed in the front garden and I said do I have to and she said you do. So off I went and bought a spade and started digging job done I thought off the hook but oh no she wanted me to help her plant perennials she bought in the garden centre. Then she handed me me a gardening book and told me I would be looking after the flowerbed. I had about as much interest in gardening as the man on the moon. By the end of summer noting died and I was really chuffed with myself. So off I went digging and digging and planting and planting so now our front garden has four flower beds, fifty two pots of perennials and six pots of annuals in the the two windowsills. My wife has no interest in gardening and tells me it looks like a mini garden centre. The back garden is grass and at the bottom of the garden there is a glasshouse, a no dig veg bed, water barrels and a three bay composting system. Next autumn I want to put in two big flowerbeds in the back garden. I can divide loads of perennials from the the front garden and plant them into the homemade compost. For the edges around the beds I'm getting free big stones from a local farmer.
@nicholsryan5401 do you have an IG account or youtube? Who wouldn't love to see what you're up to~an the quizzical looks from your spouse 😊
I love the phrase "chuffed with myself." Sounds like you are doing a great job. 🍀💛
I love the garden strolls with all of your commentary. It is humbling to show things not growing as they should be or being attacked by bugs, etc. and it is so wonderful that you show it all. Thank you!
These garden strolls are absolutely everything... no foolishness, just straight up garden talk. Those post cards this week are so inspiring. Shout out to Carol for assisting with the garden!! We all need a Carol or 2 in our lives. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
Love the honesty … “ let’s be honest, everything looks like crap when first planted”. This is part of why I love watching you … real
I enjoy watching your unedited garden tour. You make it relatable and inspiring. Not fussy and stressful.
Thank you for showing the real, human side of gardening. A garden is never finished. We do it to enjoy the journey and your's is a great one. 10 thumbs up!
I love that your gardens are real with weeds and all. Sometimes I get discouraged because the weeds get ahead of me and I love your attitude about that. Thank you! 💐🌻
Your Sunday morning strolls are my new favorite thing among garden CZcams videos. Thank you.
The woodland garden is magical. I’m enjoying these weekly garden tours.
Thank you so much for showing everything…the good and the not so good. While I love to see perfectly kept gardens, it does my heart good to see what a normal person’s garden looks like at various times. I do all the work myself and it takes a lot of time. I’m always inspired by your plant combinations. Keep these videos coming!
Can't get enough of these unedited videos. It feels like walking through my own. Weeds and all
Erin, I always feel less stressed after watching your videos. I love the “don’t worry about it” approach. Yes, it’s a washout today in southern Wisconsin. Thanks for the garden walk today.
I hope that you are having yummy pancakes this morning. Rainy Sunday morning need coffee, knitting and your videos. Thank for all of the inspiration 💗
This brings back memories of my Mom and Step Dad's garden in Menomonee Falls. I used to visit every year usually Memorial Day weekend. Now they are both gone (2020 my Mom and 2022 my step dad). I loved spending time with them and in the garden. We shared plants as I am gardener too. I live in St Louis so it was like getting a second spring when I came. And we would go plant shopping together usually things for pots. I would go home with a mix of starts from their garden and the garden centers. I treasure the beauties I still have in my garden. Thanks for sharing what works and what doesn't.
One of my first apartments after college was in Menomonee Falls. :)
Erin, I have been really enjoying these unedited videos. I sometimes get discouraged watching gardeners on CZcams because most folks want to show their garden when it’s in pretty great shape (understandably) and then I wonder why my garden doesn’t always look so great. It really helps to see the garden in its imperfect existence to know that it’s not always garden tour ready. Your garden is gorgeous!
We very much enjoy your unscripted, unedited walkthroughs. It really gives us an opportunity to better know you! The more you garden, the more, I watch, and the less I have to garden. giggle
Garden stroll is very relaxing! Thank you
Uhhh! I love the alliums with the viburnum! The white with the purple blooms! And you just moved right by the gorgeousness! Thank you for sharing your garden, Erin.
I have enjoyed the videos you do on weekends. I love that everything is just natural and no plans and unedited.
Good to hear that the dead-looking foliage with Purple Sensation allium is normal. Is the only kind of allium I have. I kept thinking they needed more water or something.
My daughter and I visited Sakonnet garden last year. It is truly MAGICAL! We are headed back this weekend. The Town it's in is Little Compton and it is picturesque all on its own. It's not a tourist area and they oll up the sidewalks at 4pm. lol. You'll see miles of old stone walls that lead down to broad grassy fields and on to the ocean. If you live with a few hours drive, do make your way there!
Sakonnet garden
I live relatively close and I’ve never heard of the Sakonnet garden till now. I have to watch Erin from Wisconsin to fine out these great little nuggets! Thank YOU Erin!
I treasure my Black Barlow Columbine and every year a few end up looking like skeletons and I run around all my gardens where I have Columbine with slug granules. Today I learned it’s not the slugs!!! What do I do for minors? I can’t loose my Columbines!
@@DalhiaSun, I indeed went back this weekend. Amazing! We also stopped at Blithewold Mansion in Bristol and it was gorgeous! Acres od old growth trees and gardens.
Well worth a day trip.
Love all your posts this season. The garden strolls are so fun; like walking around with a garden friend seeing her successes and plans for changes. Also like when you combine several small projects with details together as that is the way I garden. Always feels good when I can check off a quick project and not be overwhelmed. Your posts are always informative with a dose of reality. 👌Oh and fun, too. 🙂
Thank you for the tour. It was a rough week in our southern Wisconsin garden. We lost 2 trees in Tuesday's storm, a beautiful spruce and a gorgeous Washington hawthorne. Also, since last Sunday we have received 5.4 inches of rain as well as lots of wind. It will soon be mosquito city here. It will also further delay planting seedlings that I have grown from seed which is disappointing and more rain is expected this week. Happy gardening!
Love the unedited garden tours!
It's amazing how much things change in a week. Thanks for the tour! My favorite!
I love these garden strolls. It’s fun to see the plants develop and hear you chat about them. 💚
I had such a problem with quack grass in my gardens I was ready to give it all up. Then I started using "Grass b Gon" and although I don't like using chemicals, I will never be without it again. It takes care of the grass and leaves my plants alone.
Thanks for sharing as I have the same problem!
I loved this show very much
Hi Erin! Your weekly strolls are becoming my favorite Sunday routine , thank you for doing this ❤ my favorite plant portrait this week must be arisaema! You are so lucky to have them natively self seeded around your woodland garden, so envious 😊beautiful spring ephemeral ❤ and love the birdsong in the background.. so soothing 😇 happy gardening!
I so look forward to your weekly garden stroll. Love the casual feel to these videos. Inspires me to get out in my garden.
I just noticed I'm smiling as I watched this video. Strolling your gardens is a true delight. Thank you, Erin 🤗
I really enjoyed the article in Midwest Living Summer 2024 that showcased your garden. I watch all your episodes and always learn something from you. Your practical approach to gardening is so helpful since I live in southeastern Michigan and we share similar climate challenges.
Thank you! It was fun to see the article.
Thanks! Love how honest you are in showing us your garden.
I went ahead and put in most of my annuals here in zone 4b. It's the earliest I've ever done so but I use the trees for a guide. If the oaks have leafed out we rarely get freezing temperatures. I know some will sulk, but I'm more likely to lose more from forget to water or something. It's a gamble either way.
I so enjoy our weekly walks together in your garden. I’ve been on the lookout for news of how your poppies are doing from the seed you just toss on the snow. I tried it a couple of winters but never got poppy plants so I’m intrigued.
I'm not sure it worked for me either. I, too, would love a poppy seed update.
That is not leaf miner damage. It's from the columbine dusky-wing butterfly caterpillars. They completely defoliate my Aquilegia canadensis every spring, and the plants flush new leaves by mid June. They are quite healthy, and likely actually benefit from the caterpillars. I know the chickadees and wrens are happy for the baby bird food (which is what caterpillars are,) and by the sound of the very happy wren singing in your video, she is pleased that you leave food for her nestlings.
Oh yes, you're absolutely correct.
I enjoy these garden tours of your perfect imperfect garden. I love your woodland garden, it's lovely and so tranquil.
Erin, everything looks beautiful. Just love how down to earth you about the garden. Keep up the good work! 🌸🌺
Enjoy these casual strolls😊. That native Rubbarb is amazing!
Love that less editing has given me more videos. Yay Erin.
Love the garden strolls, Thanks for showing the Geums, I’m new to them and it was nice to see them planted.
Love, love, love the weekly garden tours! Thank you!
Thanks for the tip on Allium about cutting the foliage OFF ,I love them but that foliage drives me CRAZY 💜The garden tour was Great,thanks for sharing 🍃🌿
Another great tour! I live south of you and it's good to learn what grows in our area and what doesn't do well. As much as I enjoy watching other gardening videos, I like yours the best. Probably because we are in the same area.
It's amazing how gardens change from week to week. One must document the changes because we forget.
Erin, have you noticed how plants seem to be at their finest this season? I'm west of you in Minneapolis where we've had many years of drought. After our mild winter (23/24) I think my garden really flourished from the "warmer" winter albeit less snow cover. Regular rain so far this spring is keeping my garden happy.
I've never bought as many plants as this season and I still have many to plant, but I'm getting there. Thanks to my new Power Planter auger I'm able to start new gardens in less time. I'm afraid the weeds are getting the better of me, though. Mulch is our friend.
You impress me the way you can rattle off botanical names.
Ooh! I recently purchased a 'Firespire' musclewood tree/shrub to replace a 20yo thornless Hawthorn that has a severe lean and is pruned so drastically it looks like a topiary. As you probably know, it was discovered in Wisconsin. Such interesting foliage.
Sweet. This was lovely. We have all kinds of stuff snap crackle popping in our garden. Snow in summer, valerian, aquilegias, shrub roses, catmint, and irises are all in bloom. Hopefully the annuals we planted are soon to begin their growth spurt and shake off their cube shape from existing in a confined flat and the transplant shock. We pinched the flowers off and the growing tips and made sure to frizzle the roots before planting them directly in the ground. Things are either forming buds or getting their grow on. 🧡💚
Love your garden! The orange salvias look like they’ll make a beautiful display!
Erin- I believe you meant columbine sawfly and not leaf miner. Sawfly will skeletonize or leave just the midrib and miner damage is that tunneling and it's really just cosmetic damage. Anyway glad to hear that it doesn't affect your flowering at all. Thanks for the tour!
Yes I did. Thank you
Love it Erin! Keep in’ it real!! Thanks for sharing😊
Thank You Erin; I always learn something from your garden walk abouts. I have been perplexed about who is eating some of my columbine. Now I know that I have leaf miners eating some of my columbine also. I am glad you just take it in stride. I also have a shasta viburnum that is slowly dying. It has been so magnificent in it's better days that I do not have the heart to take it out yet. Thanks for sharing . My Rosy Teacups is blooming also. The bracts are big and they are white with a hint of pink. Probably because it is in open shade. So it is just as floriferous without much direct sun. She has changed her name to Millky teacups.😃

Last year all the rain that was forecast always passed us by. This year if it shows rain, it arrives. Almost 4” this week. Wind wrecked some plants but no trees came down. Like yours, the rain has my garden exploding.
First from Denmark! ❤ I garden in two countries, Denmark and Canada, it's a blessing for inspiration
Great timing, Erin! I was having one of those days & this went a long way toward making it better--thank you! ❤
Such a pleasure to watch your garden tours on a rainy day like today. Got some planting combo ideas from you for my own garden. Thank you.
Hi Erin! Thanks for sharing your garden with us! Happy growing season!
My ghost honeysuckle is HUGE !!! Thanks for sharing, enjoy your tours every week 🤩
thank you Erin!
Thank you for taking us on a stroll in your garden. It is looking beautiful.
Love the garden strolls, keep doing them ❤ I was all set to garden and then we had a severe thunderstorm watch and a tornado watch. So much for getting some thing planted. My Hydragnea standard fell over in the wind, hope it didn't break. All well Mother Nature doing her thing.
I LOVE THE POSTCARD VIDEOS and your Sunday garden strolls
Your garden is beautiful and the alliums are magical💕
Lovely garden stroll,friend to friend❤❤❤❤❤
Your garden is so beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for the tour! Love it!
I hate grass growing in the beds, because they are so difficult to pull out! So I thank you for the tip on not using cardboard.
Yep on the plant stash!!
Look at you reluctantly getting into Hostas😂❤ the mice create a slippery slope into obsession.
You have quite the hosta situation, Erin!. It’s a beautiful thing ❤
I love the cone (ball shape) that the sweet gum tree makes. Enjoyed the video. 😊
I have been enjoying these "Sunday" morning garden strolls. It really is amazing how much changes in just a week in a garden. Being just a bit farther north from you, it is almost a preview for my garden; although I am surprised by the lack of overlap with plants. I tend to keep my hosta sequestered in a shaded hosta garden. You mix them in whenever you need that leave shape. My Verbena 'Bamptom' seems to have perennialized with the mild winter; it also set seed. It will be nice to see you mix in your Dahlias. I confess I prestarted in Early April and planted them out a couple weeks ago. They seem to be happier than they were in the pots, although with lots of rain and this week's cooler temps, I do wonder if sunlight and soil will outpace being potted. (I still have a bunch to go in.) Getting June grass weeded out is always a struggle and I almost wonder if it isn't just easier to weed out when it has seed heads, but before it lets loose its seed on the garden? I am surprised you have never planted Veronica Waterperry Blue. It's a great front border edger and decidedly in your palette, and very easy care. Another one, especially as you have a milder climate than me is Duetzia, the regular old species white one. Never planted either of these?
These videos have inspired me to get my yard under control. It isn't big but it has been neglected or years before I even moved in. It is mostly shade and have deer isses and I came from a sunny yeard with a German Shepherd. But your videos are really helping me get myself together.
Looks so good! Big viburnum fan - blooms already done here in NC. Those alliums are now on my list, and your sweet woodruff and hostas look amazing!
It all looks so beautiful!!!
Thanks for the stroll! It's so lush and beautifully layered.
Suh-con-net with the accent on con. It’s amazing!
Love your videos! From Ontario, Canada.
Wow! Your garden is gorgeous! Love these garden tours! So fun to see what is blooming each week.
Hi Erin- the foliage garden near the garage is stunning! I'm going to try to create a similar look in my garden. Thanks!
Love the garden strolls.
Another beautiful tour!
Can’t believe the difference in your garden from a short time ago. I could watch this all day! In west Michigan we are a week or so ahead of you in what’s blooming. Everything’s early.
I really like the Strolls
Thank you 😊 love your style ❤
Love the casual and down to earth strolls (pun intended)😂 happy weekend from Hamilton ON zone 5b 🌸💕🙌🏻🫂
So beautiful , your garden has so much character .😍😍 Hello from Austria .😊
Garden strolls are the best ever, Erin! I hope they won't fall by the wayside as we move into crazy time (or are we already there? I certainly am in Western Maryland)! Thanks for being a shoot straight from the hip sorta gal.
Beautiful!
I am so blown away with how much the rain has made my garden pop. Last summer all I did was water, water, water, and evidently not enough. My dahlias are blooming. (I started them really early.) These are all from seed, but I'm in year four. Your viburnums look so great. I got 4 to 5 blossoms and it was over. I'm in the fox valley. I'm hoping some of what you have blooming is coming to me shortly.
Love that variegated Solomons Seal!
I enjoy your strolls so much Erin have a great holiday weekend
I love your garden! 💜
Skyscraper Orange is terrific! Plant a bigger blue flower with it. Will consume the lobelia.
These weekly strolls are the best. I am definitely in the "editing" stage of my garden and it typically takes a year or two (once identified) to dig up and divide the plant that has outgrown its space. And as I type this, I am looking at a giant 4' weed tree that was camouflaged by a tall shrub. My garden will never be perfect, and if it was, what fun would that be? You really do pack in a lot of information using this format, I hope you continue this series.
Wow….LOVE your garden stroll this morning. Your unedited tour is perfect. Happy gardening from MA❤️
You will love your skyscraper salvia. I bought some skyscraper pink last year and I couldn't believe how big they got and how they never stopped blooming. I hope to find more this year!
Thanks Erin, beautiful garden. 💐💚🙃
Love your Alliums the color is gorgeous!
Oh wow, everything in your yard is looking fabulous. Love to see your hostas all living their best life! I truly look forward to your regular garden strolls, it’s nice to be reminded to appreciate whatever is presently happening in the garden, instead of always focusing on what should be done.
Love to see it all- thx Erin!
Just received my Midwest Living magazine and so thrilled to see you are featured Erin! Great article and I so enjoy your channel as well.
I’m not sure my one verbena bampton I grew last year reseeded, but I was able to get two more teeny tiny seedlings from winter sowing. I generally don’t get success but I threw them outside and hoped for the best. 2 germinated seeds is definitely not the best 😂 but it’s better than nothing! I’ve found that verbena bonariensis and nicotiana and snapdragons and other annuals overwinter for me in the ground in zone 6. The roots stay alive somehow 🤷♀️it’s always worth cutting annuals back in fall, not ripping out the roots. You never know!
I had PW helichrysum overwinter last year Zone 6b Cleveland Ohio but I don't think it did this year😦
