- I don't know why it's taken me so long to give a full tour of my suburban Chicago garden! But now that I've done it, expect monthly updates. I've been gardening in this space since 2004 and it was a challenge turning nothing but grass and compacted Earth into a space that brings people and pollinators so much joy.
There have been plenty of failures, plants that have come and gone and the list is looooong. It's all part of becoming. As my knowledge grows, so does my success and I'm excited to share this space with you with the hope that you'll be inspired to turn a urban/suburban ho-hum patch of grass into something that brings you joy and satisfaction.
Hi there! My name is Heather and I garden in zone 5B, recently changed to 6a, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago on a small residential lot. My garden lives a whole lot larger than it is and I love sharing tips and tricks, as well as plenty of mistakes, with others who love to play in the dirt.

Loved your tour and excitement! We Gardeners love to see what you can grow in your zone. Love all your beautiful trees, some of which I wish I could grow, wrong zone. Thanks!
Lovely walk-about Heather ❤ I was going to suggest Climbing Hydrangeas or Honeysuckle by your front walkway. Lucky You Miss Cedar waxwing! 🥰 Ive only seen by me Once 😌 Time for the dirty wabbits Again. Saw one sitting outside today 😏 Wow, All Your Trees! Wonderful 💗 Hellabores are such a beautiful and EZ lasting workhorse! 🙌 Perfect trellis!!!! What a great price, then.
I ❤ my concrete rabbits Only too 😂 YES, talk to your "girls" (plants) Always! Give your birds some seed 🤣! Veggies looking Great 🙌🌱 Looks fabulous, all you planted on the side with curves! Very Nice 💚 Enjoy!!!!
Hi Gina! I hope the cedar waxwings find you. They're such shy birds and make the sweetest little call. The rabbits are back in force and are driving me bananas! Thanks for watching!
Such a nice variety of plants and trees! Thanks for the tour 😊

Your yard is lovely!!
Thank you!
Oh, I talk to my plants/trees/shrubs too! Mostly it's like, hey how's it going today guys. But sometimes, it's like get it together girl!!!!
Yep, I throw out a threat here and there too when they're really misbehaving.
Loved the tour. Looking forward to the next one
Thank you! Now that I got that first one out of the way, expect more!
Such a great garden Heather!
Thanks Brad!
I think that lungwort is Trevi Fountain - looks like one that I have. Love your crabapple tree - my favorite tree of all. We have quite a few. I also live in the 'burbs of Chicago. Your garden is really very nice!
Thank you! Yes, it's Trevi Fountain and my favorite lungwort. Bumbles love it too.
You’ve done such a terrific job! I see lots of love and passion in your gardens.
Hi there! I never stop thinking about it. Passion/Obsession. A little bit of both, I suppose.
Beautiful yard! Your video is so helpful and will be a great reference for plant ideas for our area. Plus it’s so helpful to see how you’re combining plants in different areas of your yard. I just put up my raised gardens and will definitely use hog wire to create a trellis as you showed in your video. Thanks again. Your videos are always great and very informative! Cheryl T
Thanks Cheryl!
How do you handle your creeping charlie? We have it too and it's such a struggle......
Hand pulling and it's such a headache.
What is the name of the rose by your front door that is a beast?
I have a rose and a clematis planted together on the trellis. The clematis is a beast, Etoile Violette. And the rose is just getting started. It's called Gertrude Jekyll, another David Austin rose.
Hello, can you tell me the name of the clematis you said? Can’t find it phonetically 😂
Etoile Violette
I have bell flower that I call hell flower you can’t get rid of it. Takes over horrible.How can I kill it and not my bulbs around it?
That's a bad one for sure! I've never had it but I think hand pulling is your best bet. Just be sure to remove all parts of the plant.
