Come along with me as I take you from start to finish in a rather large garden revival. A garden ignored for almost 2 years had become a jungle of wild vines, weeds, broken trellis's and all kinds of whatnot. It was a sometimes tedious but worthwhile work to pull this space back together, but I think I've restored it to some of it's former beauty.
UPDATE on the odd Coneflower: many of you have noted this Coneflower is afflicted with Asters Yellow virus; I'm afraid you were correct and I must remove the plant from the garden lest it effect all the other around it. So sad, I kinda liked the odd looking fellow.

I love visiting your perfectly imperfect gardens. Your bunny bench is adorable. Your videos are like a ray of sunshine on a dreary day. Thanks for everything you do, your ideas and hard work are very appreciated!🌻
So grateful for this video Jeri. It seems like the world has gotten uglier this summer and to see such beauty in your garden and hear your calming voice has been so helpful. Now it is time for some tea 🫖 💜
Our gardens are the perfect place to forget the ugliness around us! 😊
You are such an inspiration to keep working on things that "work" and moving things that do not. Thank you.
Every plant deserves a second chance and it usually turns out well.
I just love your cottage garden, and the chickens and peacocks that just roam around.
I hardly ever comment on social media, but just have to say how amazing I think k you are. Geez building things and working hard on garden Reno. Such an inspiration. 🥰
Thankyou!
I always love when you let us know how OUR gardens are doing. It is always a delight!
What a talented woman you are. Love how kind you are to your animals and the care you give everything.
we love our little critters!
34 minutes of pure pleasure and relaxation. Thank you for spending time with us. So enjoy seeing your garden progress. Your voice soothes the edges off a long day. Happy gardening. It shows how much you love doing this, a piece of garden heaven😊❤️❤️❤️
Very nice to have you here!
Thank you Jeri. Your energy and dedication to the land is immeasurable !!! You continue to show us that with determination and a cup of tea now and then we also can do it!!! Hugs
Flowers in a Cottage Garden: Phlox, lavender, Hollyhock, roses, Shasta Daisy, Day lily, larkspur, delphinium and/or bellflower, pansies, Columbine, Geraniums, Pinks, Peonies... All present. Missing anything?? Like people are saying, enjoy your soothing voice and quiet reassurance in this crazy world. Thanks for what you do!
We don't have any luck with Delphinium or Columbine, but all the rest are quite content here.
Как тепло от ваших видео. Вы очень теплая женщина и всем дарите добро.!
Jeri, how wonderful. You’ve done a fabulous job on renewing that garden. Your rabbit seat is especially clever and the reworked trellis. Everything!
Lost my beloved Driver at the end of March and this lost my desire to garden this year .. have no children so he was like my child. Spent four miserable days in Knoxville before I lost him.. so I said I would have to just enjoy Jeri’s flowers this year. Probably a good thing not to worry too much about it this year … with the lack of rain in our area ☔️! Cloudy and over cast here today .. so maybe we will get some rain! Where was the Lavender festival held ? I have never heard of it !! Hope to get back to Greenville next year to the Iris festival ! I do love Iris !
it's so painful to lose a wonderful companion that is much loved, I'm sorry.
The heat has been a bit of a roadblock, but we did have those magnificent rainstorms in between. The Lavender Festival is always held in Oak Ridge, in the Historic Jackson Square.
You are a seriously talented lady, an inspiration to all of us not to mention the stamina it takes to work in this horrible heat we have been having this summer.
Love the bench!
That saying about eating an elephant comes to mind. lol It's the same in my garden, sometimes spaces get neglected for awhile, but with some elbow grease it's new again. It looks wonderful Jeri and I love the bench. Those are my kind of projects, re-working what I have and thrifting things that need a little TLC before adding to the garden. I have several areas in my garden where I took pebbles that a spring flood left behind to create pathways with. Right now with the summer humidity here in the South I work at it in short spurts. I love mimosa trees, we have a couple along our creek. The veg garden is keeping me busy indoors of late, canning, freezing and dehydrating produce. Always a pleasure to visit with you in your garden. Happy gardening!
I love the sound of your pebble path....
Your gardens have never looked so beautiful !!!!!!!
Oh my gosh that bunny 🐰 bench is everything it’s sooo perfect 🥰 I enjoy your garden so much and all the whimsy things I see along the way 🐇🌿🌼🌾🌻🌺🌷🐔
I love your gardens so much! The rabbits on the bench seat just add something special to it. I must say as well that I really liked how you had your hair in this video...so pretty!
Tan bello es tu jardín,como el paisaje allá con grama verde y soleado...vives en un paraíso,aspiro a vivir parecido,nunca lo he hecho,pero aquí en la cuidad,con la pandemia he tratado de no necesitar tanta ayuda,como adaptación...a lo que me espera.
¡Rezo para que encuentres tu propio pequeño paraíso de jardín algún día pronto!
Beautiful backyard! I weed like you do; bored with something I'm doing, I move on to something else, and then go back and finish! Love the bench you're making!
Jeri, this was a great video I get the feeling of being there visiting your garden. I really like what you did with the lattice. Especially the open slots at the top. And love your bench. Gives a finished look with a view beyond. I appreciate your hard work. I struggle to keep up with my garden, old body aches and pains. You inspire me to continue.
The beautiful life of a gardener
❤ Hi Jeri, I SO enjoy wandering around your garden with you! I can’t even imagine all the beauty that you experience! ALmighty God is SO incredibly good to you in providing the necessary strength and energies needed to take care of your awesome gardens! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
God is so good!
So beautiful!!! I am 68 and I garden and have many flower beds. I get a lot of inspiration from you, however, you have way more talent than I do! I may try to make a couple of the rabbit cutouts like yours. In a world that has gone crazy it is to nice to visit with you and see your gardens.
We need our gardens in this crazy world, don't we.?!
I was happy to discover this spring, lichen growing on my faux wicker table on our deck. The more lichen and moss,the better!
I'm in east Tennessee. Most of my Spiderwort are purple, only a few blue.
You should sell your patterns from your fences and gates. They are delightful.
Just Lovely and so Inspiring..."Thank You" again for sharing yourself with us...
Always looking forward to watch your videos! Thank you for inspiring me to continue in my gardening 👩🌾👏👏💕💕
A lovely new garden! How can 1 person have so much natural talent while I have none? You do inspire me to try to be creative. Tyfs.
Please do!
HI Jerri. I love your garden videos. One tip I would like to give you that I use. Instead of buckets for weeds I use one of those hard plastic toddler pools. It stores easy on a wall and holds buckets of weeds and is easy to drag. Take care.
Love the idea of the cutouts (rabbits) of the fencing.
CUTE, someone dropped them off, and how nice for you and for them
What a beautiful lesson in patience and the worth of hard work.
Oh your cottage garden just looks lovely!!! You’ve done so much work! I need to take the plunge and dig up my irises too and remove way too many violets that have grown in between them. You did such a good job with your bench and trellis, and the brick pathway!!! Always love your videos and look forward to them. It was good to see you on there as well. You’re such a beautiful lady, and loved the way you had your hair. Thanks for all the inspiration! ❤️👩🌾🌻
You are always so kind Debbie; Thank you!
Yes, get in there and dig up those iris,;when I split mine apart I had 3 times the plants and was able to spread them across the garden in many choice spots.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow thank you, but it’s all so true!! Yes, as soon as it cools down a bit, I’m getting into my irises! 😊
Lots of creativity and very hard work. Inspirational.
OMG, are you soooooooo talented with tools and inspo!!! I wondered where you have been, I was worried 😟. So glad you are okay!
I had very much the same garden to deal with. When we bought this house and garden in the South Island of New Zealand, I put my everything into designing this garden and developing it into what it is now. I have recorded progress along the way and shared with my Facebook and instagram followers. Now, I have started a channel here on CZcams as now I am editing the garden yet again.🤣
It is so nice to see somebody else on here that has started from grass roots. Awesome job! Look forward to seeing more. 🙏
I already posted here a few days ago, but Jeri, I just have to come back and tell you again how much I appreciate your videos. It's so brutally hot here and my "gardens," if I can even call them that, are heartbreaking this year. So, when I'm free to visit my favorite visual refreshment--peaceful and informative YT gardening videos--I always find myself coming back here to your channel. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Yours is the most genuinely decent channel IMO, and without the challenging visual (and often verbal) anti-Christian, anti-American, social or environmentalist propaganda. This is a place where I can just enjoy my viewing then walk away not feeling judged and I can still feel proud of being American. I love it here. So comfortable, so refreshing, so inspiring. Thank you again for all you give us of your time and talents. Thank you!! 🐞
I've got a few other gardens that are looking pretty weary, I'm just too hot and tired to go out and "fix" them. Thank you for your appreciation of my content. I will always stay true to our country and our Lord on this channel. It is so nice to have fellow travelers such as you!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow ❤
Just an absolutely beautiful transformation! It’s a lot of work but, so worth it to see your beautiful cottage garden creations! 🥰🌸🌺
You and I both know about the toil of garden work, but the rewards are good!
Calming, soothing and definitely motivating for us gardeners to get outside and look at the wonders of our own garden rooms. Beautiful!!
Wow, tat's a lot of hard work during the summer heat, but looks good
Oh Jeri, such hard work but the fruit of your labor is stunning. So in my next life if I came back as a cat or chicken would you let me stay? 💗💚💙💛
Of course, I always let kitties stay!
What an absolutely enjoyable watch!!
Where to start… I loved many elements!!!
Hummingbird moth and that huge butterfly at the beginning was very impressive and I’ve never seen anything like it. I loved how your dog ( can’t remember the name) payed a visit to check on your work and Tydus the cat also kept an eye on the workforce!
Your beautiful Hopalong bench is so clever and perfect for the this patch of garden! You’ll be able to have many breaks with cups of tea looking out at the wondering feathered ladies going about their travels!!
Have
Thanks Jeri for sharing and hope you have a great week!! 🌺🌺🌺🌺
My "workforce" takes too many naps!
Creative and enjoyable!! 🥰🪴🍀🌼
Beautiful and inspiring! Thank you!
Such an inspiring video! Love it❤️. I’m looking forward to an overhaul and redesign of my cottage bed once the weather cools a bit here in KY👒💐🧤
Thanks for this lovely video! I´m starting a new garden, pretty much from scratch since I just bought a Swedish cottage with a huge garden. Basically a garden without any plants as of now. I decided to document the whole progress on my CZcams channel 🙂 I need all the inspiration I can get!!
That's wonderful! You have a great adventure ahead of you.
Always wonderful to see your creations. I do hope you accomplished all before the extreme heat came to stay. Here in south Arkansas, we have drought, no rain for 2 months, try to water but one can not water enough as the humidity sucks it right out. Temperatures are over 100 each day with high heat indexes and only about 90 at night. I have azaleas dying that are many years old as I cannot get water to them. Yet, I do not despair, there will be another season and hope to be able to recreate areas closer to the house that can get water to them. Making notes of ideas I always come away with from your videos. Thanks so much for sharing. Rest a while "). In Joy
I am actually resting today, next to a fan with a cold cuppa lemonade.
Seating areas are always nice! Especially when creative as yours is!
This was fun! We recently went on a week’s vacation and boy did I have a lot of work to do in the garden when we got back! I’m finally caught up. You continue to inspire me to try new things. I recently installed hoops over a couple raised vegetable beds. Right now I have them covered with shade cloth so I could grow more cool season vegetables. In the fall and spring I will cover them with plastic and extend the growing season. I hope to become a year round gardener here in zone 6. Thanks again for the inspiration!
I'm using a shade cloth for the first time over some newly planted lettuce and spinach beds, wishing us both good fortune.
Beautiful transformation ❤. Thank you for always inspiring me! 🤗
Your garden is coming along beautifully and comes by your very hard work. Cottage gardens I think are not perfect that’s what makes them beautiful. I love your floral garden. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thankyou jeri, everything in your beautiful gardens just such an inspiration, I as always love to see the maidens here and there,,you have worked so hard its so very cottage beautiful,,just whats needed on a tea break to watch and see all the lovely beauty jeri,hearing all the sounds s of the peacock s snd maidens and birds ect ect,,you have such a calm and comforting voice also.xxthankyou until next time,,will share this with my dear friend she live over 3 hours away from me, she just lives to see flowers 💐. God bless you 🙏. Xxbe safe all you maidens, xxhesther from South west, 🇬🇧
Thank you!
The Maidens are truly garden lovers, they spend most of the day poking around the plants.
Hello Jeri, the bee on the flower isn‘t a bee, it’s a little butterfly, in German it’s called „Taubenschwänzchen“- little Dovetail. It is as quick as a hummingbird. You do a lot of work in your garden. If you tear out the bishop‘s weed, in German „Giersch“, take out all the little roots, don’t put it on the compost, because they thrive out again and you never get rid of. You could also put a piece of thick cartoon over and it cannot grow through again. Saw this at Charles Dowding- no dig garden. Best regards from Austria, Moosdorfer Beegarden, 🐝🦋🌼and good luck with your beautiful romantic garden🕊🌸🐝💕
We call it a Hummingbird Moth. It's a type of Hawk moth, but it still seems like a bee to me.
I agree with Charles Dowding, the stuff is merciless. I am not planting anything in that space until I am sure the weed is gone. I do have to go out each day and pull more "babies" out. I think I will cover with a few loads of cardboard as well.
OMGoodness I get to see you cut the bunnies on the fence. I am super excited to see this wonderful video. I have learned so much from you this year. 🥰
So very good to hear that!
Hi Jeri, thank you so much for this video. What a lovely garden and how inspiring to see the transformation. I appreciate you taking us along on each stage, showing that a complete transformation is doable and that it's okay to take our time with it. Hope you are having a wonderful week! Angela
Thank you so much!
This was such a lovely video Jeri. What a way to start it with Titus grooming himself, the beautiful hummingbird moth and such a gorgeous dark butterfly on your phlox 😍 lovely.
How many acres do you have there. You are so multi-talented and it just thrills me to see all the wonderful things you have done in the garden and home. I also ventured to your website to see your artwork. Unfortunately I can be rather clumsy as I have Myers -Irlen Syndrome. I possibly am also autistic so whilst I am very capable in the kitchen and garden I've been known to injure myself and therefore I don't trust myself anymore with such things as circular saws or jigsaws and heavy DIY but I love baking and I love to draw. This year I have also by God's grace changed things around in the front garden. I'm delighted to see so many buds on my climbing rose, my Pacific Giant Delphinium is looking taller and more floriferous this year, I also have a beautiful crimson peony, crimson antirrhinums, foxgloves, golden bearded irises, dark purple Dutch irises and so many other exciting flowers still to come. The lavenders are just coming into bud and my hollyhock seeds have germinated as well as my zinnias and some of my cosmos. The back garden is also looking very full. It is partly 3 years old and partly well established. I thank God for His wonderful blessings. I feel so full which is wonderful because in other areas of our lives it has been such a trial but I thank Him for His wonderful mercies. I so look forward to your next video having just watched your latest one. Every blessing. 🥰🌹🌷🌺🌸🪻🌦️⛅☀️🐈⬛🦮🫏🐦🐦⬛🐥🐓🪿🦆🦤🦢🐾🐝🐞🦋🐛
Miss Jeri, I had the same thing happen with some cone flowers here in North Georgia. I think they were burgundy originally but came up green with clusters of little green flowers. We sold that house a year ago and I’m starting over with three small flower beds at our new place. I appreciate it took you weeks to get your project done but you persevered. I’m learning patience since I can’t do what I used to.
Isn't it just the strangest coneflower!? This one has been blooming in this same manner for 3 years, and I remember purchasing it because of its very odd self as an Emerald Jewel.
Love everything about your home, garden, teas, cooking...just you!! You are wonderful!!
Wow, you are quite an artist and gardener. Awesome restoration! Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden!
Love, love, love it. Nice to see you on camera as well Miss Jeri.
I adore the Bunny Bench.
Love the bench with the bunny outline!
From the minute this video started, until it finished, I was smiling. It's just perfect. That bench you made, just everything, perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really love the bench 😍
You give me so much inspiration! Particularly the flower support board. If you could make a video of the ways you make the supports. Love your gardens.
You are such a gift to us viewers as you show us how to bring back to life some of our neglected areas in our gardens!
Thank you. I loved to see your garden grow.
Very beautiful garden! And love the rabbit design bench. New found chickens!👏💗
What a wonderful gift of old bricks, they are beautiful & I love moss as well. You surly have been working hard & your gardens are mesmerizing proof of your artistic ability. I just love your videos!
Just bought land in TN and starting my entire landscape and gardens from scratch - your videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Welcome to Tennessee, I've been here for 30 years.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow
Thank you! We absolutely love Tennessee. We are from Washington State up in the temperate rain forests of Mnt Rainier and although I miss my Mossy Hollow gardens, home is where the heart it and my heart is here. I’m so thankful to the Lord for bringing us to this wonderful place and for showing me your channel. I have nothing but an acre of hard dry clay to work with surrounded by five acres of pine forest and various other trees I still need to learn the names of. I’m choosing to see it as a blank canvas and a grand adventure.
@@mossy_hollow_creations This is a great state! Are you east, west or Middle Tenn? We all have that clay, the good thing is it can be worked into beautiful soil with lots of Organic stuff. Have fun!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow - We’re smack in the middle of East TN! Tops on our list is getting some mulch and possibly topsoil to start working into certain areas - that and figuring out what sort of grass to plant - the rains lately are causing some erosion in places I’d rather not wash away so easily and need to get some grass started before the native weeds decide to show up.
So lovely Jeri. I love the seating bench. You're such an awesome inspiration. Love your videos 😻❤️😻.
Hi Jeri, Jan Cole here from southeast Pennsylvania, also an avid gardener and landscape designer. One thing I found helpful for controlling weeds between my perennials is to plant very low growing groundcovers of various colors, textures and bloom times. Perhaps that would save you a lot of weed pulling and aggravation! It also saves having to mulch! By the way, I love what you're doing, especially the bunny fence and garden seat! 🐇🐰🥰
You are so right about the groundcovers, it's the reason I allow the wild violets to remain. Perhaps you could recommend some other pleasant groundcovers to us?
A lot of hard work and it turned out beautiful! 🙏💕
Beautiful and inspiring transformation....there's hope for me!
always!
My goodness.......this video reminds me whe. I was a child, thanks !
The hummingbird moth was really interesting, I’ve never seen those before. Your new garden is truly beautiful and peaceful. I am amazed at your ideas and creativity. God has given you many talents🥰
Wow, you did a lot of work 😳💪👍. It looks so beautiful, and I love the bench that you made. Enjoy your wonderful garden. 🙏❤️🦋
I am!☀
Thank you Jeri -- you made another stress reducer video.
Never heard of a humming bird moth! Love your gardens. Appreciate your hard work and artistry.
Isn't he just the coolest moth?!
My goodness! The multiple birds calls are so unique -- what part of the country are you in? So, so wonderful!
Well done you!
Not only are you an artist and a gardener but a skilled craftsperson as well! Very admirable. What a wonderful garden transformation.
Love your bench 👏😊❤‼
Love your gardens and what talent to reuse materials!
Love how you recycle so much from bricks to wood ! Your helpers from chicken to Pyrenees are the best. Your home is such a cozy sanctuary ❤️ Thank you for sharing.
Fabulous video. Thank you.💗🌸
I have really enjoyed your video of you garden! I am recovering from back surgery, so it gives me hope that the garden can be salvaged. I go and sit on the ground at times and weed for a few minutes early in the mornings. I like that you have a lot of shade and repurpose things and use what you have. I have hope in the future of my shadier spots. Definitely like bluebells also and the animals.
Thank you Jeri .I love you the garden and you videos. 💖
You amaze with your inspiration & hard work! Simply stunning!!
I just love your shady area where you want the greenhouse to be. What love you have given your gardens. I just have a built in planter and almost collapsed with the heat yesterday pulling weeds and taking out dead leaves. Basic cleaning. 🤣. I wanted hollyhocks this year but couldn’t find any. I also looked for English ivy and nobody really had anything. Hopefully next year the garden centers will have flowers in stock. ~Janet 😘
If you lived near me I would fill your arms with all the Ivy you needed. We have it in abundance.
I hope that you do take time out to sit on your cute bench to enjoy your lovely garden!
I do!
So delightful! ❤️
Ms. Jeri, today would have been my grandmother's 108th birthday. Your garden in eastern TN reminds me of the garden we used to have in our Kentucky garden. Today, I must take the bitter with the sweet as I miss my soul mate grandmother was passed 18 years ago. I gotta try to be happy the rest of the days I have here, but nothing replaces the life I had with my grandparents on the farm just outside the little town of La Grange. Thank you for your video that allowed me to close my eyes and go back in time for a bit to the place where I was once happy.
I wish I had the experience of grandparents, never had a gramma and only met grandfather once. You are fortunate to have had such a wonderful memory.
Thank you Ms. Jeri for your kind reply. Indeed I was very fortunate to have my grandparents as when I was born my mother didn't want me and I went straight from the hospital to their home. Something has been on my mind since watching your video. I don't think your dahlia's are getting enough sun. We had a whole row of red dahlia's in our garden that got sun all day long and thrived. I know a lot of your garden are seems to get a lot of dappled light from many trees, but I'd like to see your dahlia's grow faster in a sunny spot. ~Yosef
@@Yosef_Morrison I do have other Dahlias in full sun that seem to be thriving. These in the pots are from very small tubers and they do get 6+ hrs of sun each day. But I agree that if they don't do better, I can always move the pots
Hopefully you have some of your good garden dirt in those pots. I have found the garden center so-called potting soils to be worthless fluff. Not even Miracle Grow soil is what is used to be. I only use it as an organic amender to my soil for my potted plants.
My favorite.
My husband won’t let me use the power saw. He says I lack concentration and I’ll cut my arm off 🤣🤣🤣
Better listen to your husband!
Hi Jeri! Good to see you out and about in the garden. Those hummingbird moths are very interesting and I’ve seen them a few times at my mothers house over the years but never in Florida. When I saw the rabbit structure you put together, I am reminded of the Hobbiton village in the Lord of the Rings. It was lush and full of beautiful things just like yours. So now you not only qualify for video production, but set design/ decorator as well . 😉 The garden and flowers are beautiful! Your hard work has Gods hands in it! The blue berries are at peak now so I cleaned and froze a huge batch today to take out in the winter to make a tart or possibly a pie. Blessings to you both < Brian
Here is the information I found on the moth’s:
(Just like the hummingbird, the hummingbird moth's buzzing and humming sound is created by its rapid wing movement. Loathed by gardeners, the tomato or tobacco hornworm caterpillar that you see munching on your tomato plants will eventually morph into a Hawk moth, or Sphinx moth, each a type of hummingbird moth..
Oh how I love Hobbitsville! HURRAH FOR YOUR bLUEBERRIES, mine were very unsuccessful this year.
It's good that I didn't see the Hummingbird moth before his transformation, I would have sent him packing down the creek on a raft.
I loved the wonderfull transformation of your garden. Such a lovely walk with the chickens. I too moved back home an enjoy digging up over a hundred year old brick and flagstone for my garden pathways. I will continue to follow you.
How nice to have a source for the old brick and stone.
So lovely! Thank you so much for taking us along
I want a bench like that! And first time seeing the fence so cute❤️I see me putting a swing in that beautiful shady back there🦚
