Hey friends welcome to Gardening with Creekside today we are going to take a winter garden tour of My Mama’s Garden affectionally known as Mimi we have been in her garden multiple times throughout various times of the year but we’ve never done a winter garden tour and I I approached Mimi
Yesterday I was like mama please can I come do a winter garden tour and she was like sure why not um so I absolutely love coming to my mama’s Garden and taking a tour because she is vastly different
Than I am we only live a couple hundred yards away from one another but she lives underneath these mature pine trees so she is very much a dry shade garden she has zero irrigation so there’s not one piece of automated Irrigation in her garden she either hand Waters it or just allows
The Lord to water it and or she picks plants that will thrive in her dry shade spaces to give you a little background uh my mama mama and daddy have lived here since the late 70s but it has really
Been in the last probably 12 to 15 years that she has really devoted a lot of time to her Gardens she was a teacher she retired and then she uh came and just spends tons of time in the garden
She is a force to be reckoned with she exhausts me she is like the little Energizer Bunny and think that you’re going to see how her um efforts have paid off in her garden so we’re going to walk
Through and I will also say Mimi does not mind being in the background of the camera but she does not want to talk on camera so that is why she has never been um miked up before and goes
Through the garden one day I hope to get her on camera uh just even honestly for my own personal um sake so I can document all of the fun stories and because there’s she knows where every plant
Came from every plant where it came from blah blah all the good things things but she does not want to be on camera so we respect that obviously and she allows us to come through and look at her
Garden so I hope you find this very inspirational because I think it’s really important to um look at other Gardens even if you have completely different growing conditions you’re going to find inspiration always and forever you will get inspired from other people’s Gardens because of
Great things that they do for example you’re going to notice as we go through um Mama’s yard is that because she is dry shade right so I mean look at all of these pine trees y’all tons of pine trees
She uses a lot of containers in her garden so she does a ton of container garden uh gardening and she has lots of fun Whimsical art that she has found throughout all of her garden travels
From different places she is a great she’s a great uh Shopper when it comes to garden art I tell you so she can buy things and she also finds things in nature and adds them to her garden like
This old gnarly stump that has moss growing on it so you’re going to notice that a lot throughout her Gardens is that she really employs a lot of fun unique natural and man-made pieces right to enhance her garden you’re also going to notice that there you might notice that there’s lots of
Various little buildings around here my daddy is very industrious and he is forever building some sort of little building and so that’s what the deal is with that VI were remember we did a early
Spring tour and because all of these are aelas I mean and they go way back we’ll see more of them later these are the you know traditional old old Tomy um aelas that bloom once in the spring but
Are just magnificent when they are in full bloom so that is is what all the greenery is is the uh is the zelas that are gorgeous now Mama also has tons of Linton roses helbor and helbor of course um are just those beautiful perennials very very hearty that bloom in the winter time
Typically around lint some some are a little bit more overachievers than others she went ahead and cleaned up her old foliage and this one is putting out lots of buds you’ll also notice that Mo for
The most part she does great job of she has her plants label she made these cute little um plant signs out of like some copper I think that she got from Like Home Depot and then somehow cut out the
Little the little circles so she created those herself um so we’re going to see lots of fun uh like I said Linton roses I’m going to back up here just a second I walk past them too much um right
Here she has and they’re just dotted throughout everywhere but you can see so for right here she went ahead we’ve had an abundance of leaves and pine needles this year so she had to come in and
She pulled out just a little bit so you have the old foliage and then you can see that bright that bright foliage right there that is coming out it was underneath those leaves and pine needles
So she’s just has come in and tried to to show them off a little bit she’s got an ice and Roses right here that is budding out and is going to be absolutely stunning so we’re going to walk on down
The driveway right here just fun like I think my daddy may have built my dad like I said my daddy’s very industrious he built this cute little bird house for us so you’re going to see lots of lots
Of fun Whimsy in her garden he is ALS my dad is also a woodworker um he has a sawmill he builds Furniture he um refinish furniture for many many many years and they recently cut down had to cut
Down a tree because it was getting too close to a building so this is actually the stump well part of the the butt of the tree flipped over and so she is using it as like a little tabletop
For her little containers so these are all various unique stone containers that she’s put some little violas in there um she has an aave she has some simper vums simper vums whatever you want to call them H and chicks so just really fun right just adding things in there throughout the garden she
Even took one a pair of Daddy’s old boots and pl use those as planters as well this is the Feather Falls grass y’all is that not just I’m telling you it is the greatest uh perennial CarX I love this
Thing so Feather Falls is doing great and then she has um I want to say this is a uh Bloom struck hydrangea so it is a macro hyd D because she is so shady here she does a lot of um obviously shade
Tolerant hydranges right and for example she has on this side of the driveway these are the tough stuff hydranges lots of um good growth here because it was challenging for her because this
Area is interesting it gets a good amount I would say four to 5 hours of intense hot Sun um but then it’s in the shade so she was having a kind of a hard time trying to figure out exactly which
Hydrangea to use she had tried a couple either it didn’t get enough Sun for the panicles or it was too much stuff for um a maill so the tough stuffs they are saratas and they really are doing quite
Nicely again lots of containers um that she uses she is a bird friendly habitat as well and so she I gave her I gave her a bird bird feeder from uh for Christmas and the birds are just having the
Most fun on that as well so this area looks vastly different in the winter than it does in the summer it is just filled with tons of perennials in here that you know in the winter a little dormant right
Uh she has huge hostas I mean massive hostas all in this bed right here she has of course those nice Evergreen ferns this is a sum and substance hosta that is in here and you’ll also notice that
As we go through the gardens she has a lot of cast iron plants so that has worked really really well for her in her Gardens and so she has just a lot of those available and planted throughout
Her Gardens as well moving on over here this is a fun collection growing up as a kid this was all grass um but of course that was you know 46 years ago when I was born and the the trees have
Gotten bigger and she has lost her son so they just decided you know it’s just not even worth it to try to grow grass so they don’t have any grass within their yard they have turned it all
Into natural and it just makes the most sense but this is such a fun little area where she has put you know all sorts of different containers right and so she’s got containers she’s got her little
Mushrooms she’s got her wind sculptures these are I know somebody’s going to ask because she has a ton of these These are um from Lyman Whitaker he is an artist I believe he is based out of
Arizona um but she has collected these over many years from up in Asheville there’s an art gallery in Asheville North Carolina that she gets these from so beautiful wind sculptures that she leaves out year round but you’ll notice with her um her pots her containers that she has them of different
Sizes and even even though the pots may be of different sizes she uses um you know old logs and stumps to raise them up so it’s not just all on one level she’s bringing lots of height to her
Garden um and even here in the wintertime lots of fun interest in there she got a fire chief Arbor VY and put it in there and it is doing great same thing back here right so it’s that same idea using
Those containers and has them on various levels to to bring interest especially here to the back of her garden so these are all in different shades of blue back here notice that some have uh perennials
In them that you can see right so she has lots of ukuras and ukas but then she also has some pots that are seemingly empty they’re not empty they have hostas in them but that’s okay that
They’re dormant for the winter T the season and for everything there is a season she also has tons of leaves so Leaf litter she uses a a lot of leaf litter um she does not use mulch per se like how
We use a hardwood mulch she just uses what she has available to her and she is like the queen of leaf litter and so what she’ll do is as she chops it you know she’ll put it out but inevitably she’ll
Have more that she’ll need later on so she uses uh we happily let her use these old um Nursery pots and so she this is how she stores it and say then when the season arrives that she needs a some
She’ll just come and grab them so that’s what the deal is with that this is an area right here where this is an Oakleaf hydrangea and uh there goes Rosie so Rosie is is their Doberman so off she
Goes and but you’ll notice all of these Linton roses in here just tons of them these are what we call the old Tommy uh Linton roses where they naturalize so all these have spread from seed and
She’ll dig them up and she’ll give them away so um she’s giving me some she’s taking some down to the nursery lots of those naturalizing hbor and then as we come to this flower bed this is
Another fun one this just gets uh some sun but not a ton definitely not a full sun flower bed notice how she uses her edging how to define from the Natural Area you know where the dog
May play or the kids may play the grandkids old logs right so she’s brought this in to bring a nice defined border epimedium epimedium is a wonderful more shade tolerant perennial that is Evergreen right so even in the winter time she has got structure here and makes a great border
She’s got some yin and yang V burnhams she’s got the Florida sunshines she has uh a white by the gate so chamia as just like I do uh we got these of course from the nursery and uh so the wi by the
Gate and then she actually found the trellis and I loved her trellis so much I ordered one exactly like it so we do have a very very similar taste and then the cute little Weather Vein right there
With her uh rooster Weather Vein but all dotted throughout her Gardens all the way in the back in the woods there’s just you know aelas that have been there I mean some of these are older than I
Am and just all dotted throughout their just bring that Garden you know out right into the woods for sure and then I love this little area too because she she employs a lot of Evergreen ferns so she
Is a huge fan of the Autumn ferns as I am so see even in the winter time I mean it is right the very you know 2024 is here right and so she uses these because they bring such fun and interest
To her garden throughout the dead of winter here cast iron plants all dotted throughout more hbor she just has them spread out all out through the woods all right so what we’re going to do now is
We’re going to move over to the other side Garden as we transition over to the side Garden um this is the area when we were here in the spring this is that whole Bank of aelas that was in full blo
In all of their glory and just spectacular uh so in the winter time they are the home of tons of little birds I can see they’re actually moving through there like the pl if you look at the
Plant you can actually see it moving and those are the little birds that take uh refuge in the winter time and really I guess year round in there so lots of cover for her sweet little song birds again you’re going to see Linton roses all throughout her flower beds and talking about
You know massive pine trees these pine trees are wider than I am I mean just massive this is I’ve always loved this little bed this little island bed has been here as long as I can remember it’s
She’s got Roa dendrons in here she has got um some sweet little like there’s a a maiden hair fern right here that uh is is doing well for the end of you know for the dead of winter right here
Uh but lots of different plants in here um and she you know obviously she’s going to repeat a good number she has like I said tons of helbor she’s got various different types of cast iron plants
Like look at this one look at that beautiful one oh my goodness I do not see a name tag on this one I don’t know if this is Milky Way um but just such neat color to it with those spots on
It so just repeating those same even though it may be the same uh type of plant right it may be a different cultivar a different variety so different types of autumn ferns different
Types of helor and so forth and so on again she is the queen of using uh natural elements to come in and just make things fun and different these are literally just old logs that they have set into
The ground upright created a little bit of a bed around it with some little baby helor in there and then another wind sculpture in there sometimes in the Summer she will take pots of you like smaller
Containers and put them on top of the logs um but yeah even without in the dead of winter it looks great lots and lots and lots of hydranges whether they are the various oak leaves that she has tons
Of Max in here because this is definitely an area that lends itself for it and Chamilia so she and I have both gotten on the chamelea kick together so we are trying to implement more and more Chamas
Into our garden if a container breaks no worries she’ll just flip it upside down so it can become home to like a little a toad or a little critter um so yeah so don’t don’t freak out too much when
Something breaks it’s just another opportunity uh for something fun she has got um this bed as well is full of hydrangeas helbor Bruna various ferns in here and uh these aelas too are about older than I am and just full of blooms tons of different colors in here and so the springtime
It is just absolutely alive if you remember we were in the forest pansy bed last week and I was sharing with you my Arbor V Fern look look at how her arbu ferns have just grown and developed y’all
This this pine tree is probably u 2 and 1/2 3 ft wide just straight across it is huge and all the way around it she has got those arborite ferns just they will natur I don’t I don’t remember
How long she’s had these here it has been a while um so this is not like an invasive plant but it is clearly very very happy here at the base of this pine tree and of course the arbor ferns are
Called they’re not technically a fern they’re a member of the spike Moss family but they look like a fern and they’re called arbiv ferns because they’ll take on these Brown coppery colors in the winter and then in the summer spring it is a bright bright green so just I mean a beautiful
Specimen right there of of the um that Spike Moss that Arbor bite Fern throughout these are helbor these are different they look very different maybe than the type of hore that you were used to um but they are hellor throughout here fun you can see yet again another Feather Falls lots of autumn
Ferns of course she has her Charleston basket boy she has a fun uh log Limb and she’s using it to hang her Windchime on and then as we go through you’ve heard me talk about the um Oakleaf
Hydrangea that Mama has that she has had for um I remember taking pictures of my Emily in front of this in the springtime and it was a decent size then probably maybe like I don’t know 5T tall
Emily’s 19 so that gives you an idea of like how long this hydrangea has been here um I am 52 53 used to be 5 three I think I’m shrinking um and this thing is huge I mean it is massive so when
You have those old traditional oaklea hydranges give them room y’all they’re going to get big so when she is in all of her glory she is stunning but you’ll see here Underneath more of those what we call just the old timey traditional helor that naturalize so these have just all spread
From seed and going around um throughout all of her containers right it looks empty but it’s not and she has her little tag on there that is a June hosta is in there um and so she has lots
And lots of containers because she does deal with um vs vs are a big problem for her so she employs the containers to use a lot edgeworthia she has got two stunning edgeworthia right here edgeworthy of course is that fantastic shrub that gives you wonderful late winter interest because these are
The flower buds and what they’re going to do is they’re going to open up and they’ll turn um like a really sweet kind of a yellow orange that all of these will be like little trumpet flowers in here
And the fragrance is absolutely Divine so this is a two gorgeous Edgeworth is that she has right here just creates little pockets right so here’s like a little mini bed within the big bed she has
One again around the pine tree this time she used stone that came from the property and she edged it out more see another Feather Falls we love that and I am sure that there’s a yeah there’s
A UK carella that is in there as well and there might even be a hosta that is in talking about her dealing with um vs in her garden because they just absolutely destroy it so she’ll use use the
Containers and then she use um uses these little cages from the vulk King which are like wire mesh bags and so you take your plant and you put the plant inside the bag and then you bury it all and
Then you leave a little bit on the outside so that the vs cannot get to it so that the roots can grow through um so even if the vs were to eat some of those smaller roots that go through the bag they
Can’t get to the part of the plant so this is a great way to protect your plants especially when you’re planting new ones so she has one here here and then up so she has them throughout and then
If you use you know your pine needles your mulch your compost whatever it is to kind of Disguise those edges of it where it’s sticking out is not very noticeable but it allows you to have plants
In your garden um without being annihilated by the vs so that is a that is an option vul King and so you can check them out that you can order from them online also daddy built Mama this little
Gazebo um I remember exactly this would have been 14 years ago because we actually came out here he was building it and we were like Daddy we’re having another baby uh that was when we were pregnant with Jackson and so he built this gazebo there was actually this is Carolina Jasmine that
Is on here I mean there’s only two plants y’all so two plants these are close to 14 years old 13 14 years old um planted one is down here at this base and then you can see one is on the other pole and
They have just completely taken over this gazebo there was a Weather Vein up at the tippy top I’m not sure if it’s still there if they were able to get it out um but yeah this is just a fun little
Place to go in the spring spring early summer it smells Divine because the Jasmine is is in full bloom and is just spectacular but you can see what she did is she started it out and used some
Chicken wire some fence paning whatever you want to call that um to get it going and then you can see how much it has just gone up and it’s just doing great Mama obviously loves using big pops
Of color so you’re going to see both colors in her garden just like the red chairs the little yellow this is like I think a Mason masonry bee little Hive that she is very very aware of her sweet pollinators and beneficial insects just gorgeous color right even in the dead of winter bright
Chartreuse colors right here this is another fun bed that I just adore right now it looks pretty empty but there are tons of hostas in here and you can see too that cu the vs seem to like the hostas
The most if you kind of glance through you’ll be able to see she probably has maybe 10 hostas that are in those vul King bags in here just to protect them and again just about everything is labeled
With her little her little signs she has got look at this how fun this was an augur off of a grain grain machine that Daddy put in for her and and then that’s a little bird house that he built
For her so lots of fun different kind of Whimsy in here she is like I said the queen of some yard art this is um stained glass from a gallery in colia I believe it’s called one-eared cow pottery and they
Have got beautiful beautiful stained glass that is both for the home and the garden just really really cool and uh another Oakleaf right tons of hostas are in here and she’s got all her bags in
There she’s got some you know Iris she has got different caraxes in here and then of course the uh famous Savannah ear is right here this was one of her very first unique stone pieces that she got
We put it in here for her and it is absolutely filled with tons of beautiful shade perennials so when this thing is in all of its Glory it is spectacular it is gorgeous so remember don’t be afraid think outside the box when you’re looking at your containers put those perennials in there
Yes it’s good and uh again she has a problem she has bowls she needs to solve that problem they can’t get to it in our containers so there you go um as we move out out closer to we call it
The Walnut field because this this field out here is full of walnut trees that my dad planted and so you get to get more sun here we have um she has her David Austin Rose I gave her a poet’s wife
For Mother’s Day I gave her the unique stone and the rose so this is a poet’s wife the poet’s wife excuse me U from David aluson because yellow is her favorite Rose so that is a beautiful yellow
Rose and is doing quite quite nicely but as we move out further um it gets more sun so this area um if she’s going to have Sun this is where she’s going to put it and I’m telling you what
Y’all these beds are just jam-packed with tons of perennials this is a fig tree that she took a cutting from her mama’s yard and planted this one I don’t even know how many years ago and so
Then I have a cutting off of it and I have a fig tree near the chicken cook po so this is grandama Betty’s uh figs that produce figs and their Doberman uh Rosie absolutely loves like she’ll eat them straight off the tree Mimi and Poppy don’t get very many because Rosie eats
Them all um but just in these beds lots of fun interest let’s go let’s kind of tiptoe and notice that she has little paths right here so again she has Stone from the property and then we’ll create
A little path that we can walk through so you’re not actually walking in her flower beds but as we have a a different perspective here um going into the field so that you can see all of just kind of
That whole um the whole big picture here lots of grasses dianthus sedums eonia butterfly bushes amsonia I mean tons of just variations of sun loving plants that she has still bringing in um some stumpery back there uh all throughout here and is just just a fantastic job lots of of the
U the stained glass the blown glass lots of that within her Gardens but just I just adore coming to Mama’s Garden and um seeing all her fun cuz she just thinks outside the box which I love and so
She is she is a tough Gardener she is uh she does not baby her plants they’re uh you know is kind of like you’re either going to make it or you’re not and she is not afraid to move plants she will move
Them in a skinny minute if somebody’s not working and she’s like okay well we’re just going to move you and figure out somewhere else for you to go so she is um definitely a Master Gardener and all
All definitions and all aspects of that and I am thoroughly blessed and I know that I am blessed to have her as my mama and as a gardening Mentor we have a lot of fun together in the garden we
Can get into some trouble together into the garden and uh you know I think as most gardeners you have those gardening buddies that you you know they get you into trouble but it’s all in a good kind of
Trouble you know so that’s me me and I so we’re we can be quite dangerous in the garden together um but I hope you have found this fun and informative and just knowing that you can have tons of winter
Interest in your garden even if it’s a shade garden even if it’s dry and you have no irrigation whatsoever just that time and energy that you put into your garden and that gardening is a lifelong
Event it is not a static sport it is not a static hobby we are constantly out in our Gardens and to show you that this is a mature garden right I mean she has been working this Garden some of these
Pieces have been in here for 40 years right those aelas and other pieces are brand new but she’s constantly adding and tweaking what is working if she finds a new plant where can I put it that kind of thing so just you know give yourself Grace when you’re garding don’t think you’re going
To get this kind of garden overnight I am still working my little honey to get halfway where she is in her garden so it’s a lot of fun visit those other Gardens so that you can be inspired I don’t
Have a ton of d shade I hardly have any dry shade whatsoever but I can take nuggets from her garden and Implement them into mine so as always hope you found this fun informative and inspirational y’all
Have a fantastic day thank you Mama for letting me come to your garden again see y’all next time bye friends

Thank you Mimi for sharing your garden with us! Yes, very inspired and have ideas for my own shady backyard garden! (and thank you for the great editing in of all the earlier tour clips, that really added to the video!)
This was fabulous! It's the first tour of her gardens that I've seen so I greatly appreciate the look back to blooming times also. I'm very intrigued by the cast iron plants. I'm in zone 6b, Kentucky, and it seems some places say they're hardy to zone 6, some say only 7 or 8. Can you provide any direction for pursuing them?
I also attempt to make a garden in the dry shade! It sure offer some challenges! Making notes, I may be in 8a now,, but doesn't get warm enough for many flowers… thank you for the tour!
You said "Carolina Jasmine" but I think you meant "Confederate Jasmine." Your Mom's garden is beautiful! 😊
Mimi’s garden is absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you Jenny & Mimi.
I m sure there done
Very creative
Very creative and so inspirational! Makes me want to live in the woods.
Hey Jenny, how come your mom has voles and I’ve not heard you talk about it in your garden next-door?
So inspired.. I have a huge live oak are and now I have given me options … ALSO I NOTICED HER ELEPHANT EAR CONCRETE SYONE WHICH I MOLDED ONE GIANT LEAF AND HAVE ONE SIMILAR…YOUR MOMA SPEAKS TO MY GARDENING HEART WITH ALSO THE USE OF NATURAL BEAUTY &ELEMENTS!!! LOVE THIS!!! NOW IS THE TIME FOR ME TO START CREATING SOME SHADE BEAUTY UNDER MY VERY SHADY DRY AREA UNDER THE LIVE OAK THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR PARENTS VERY COOL PRETTY SPACE!!! JUDY IN PENSACOLA FL👏👏♥️
Do the pine trees have lots of roots that make it more difficult to plant in the landscape? We live within a wooded area but we have tons of tulip poplar trees which have long spreading roots everywhere that like to choke out our plants.
Very nice Jenny. I always feel happy when I watch one of your sweet videos. Thanks to your Mama for a lovely time in her garden
is there lake Infront of the land?❤ It is beautiful land❤
How many acres land your parents have?❤
Really loved Mimi’s garden tour. Thanks to both of you for sharing !
Jenny I would gladly pay your mama for some old fashioned hellebores! I can’t find any around here! I’m in southeastern KY.
I just love the videos of Mimi's gardens. Now I wish I had more shade. Lol. She and your Dad have a magnificent home!
Next time your Mom has some extra Hellebores to give away, I would love some please. I need some more for my shade garden. ❤😊
My goodness, Jenny! What an amazing yard! I love it so much! Yes, you are so Blessed. Have a Blessed Night 😊🐶
Beautiful! Your mamma is a master gardener! Thank you for the tour Jenny!
I 💚 MiMi’s Garden 😍 I love her style!
Those light pink azaleas bring back good memories of my Great Grannie's garden. She had a huge azalea just like it beside her porch and I just loved it. Thank you for sharing especially with the flashbacks to the garden in full bloom. ❤
Mimi thank you for sharing with us your beautiful flowers and new ideas. Are you near the chicken coop? Or did I I miss it. Very calming place to live. Look forward seeing you again. Be blessed Karen from Indiana
I just love Mimi’s garden! So much fun and talent between your mama and daddy. I just adore her plant tags! I hope one day she will agree to be interviewed!🧡🧡🧡
I have issues with voles too and had given up on planting hostas until I saw the video of your mom's garden last spring. Since then I bought a bunch of mesh baskets and have planted over 20 new hostas. Thanks for the inspiration! Please post more videos of her garden!
I love this garden. Natural land with touches of whimsy and beautiful, mature plants.
So inspiring! I think i just might expand my gardens into the timber after watching this! Im also retired so have plenty of time and energy to create! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this!
Thank you to you and Mi Mi for another tour of her wonderful garden! I am so glad you mentioned the voles and how she works around them. I planted an oakleaf hydrangea last year that went from healthy to dead in a short time. There was a hole next to the root ball so I after watching this video I suspect a vole. I'm new to NC gardening so this was very informative.
Thanks to Mimi for allowing a tour of her garden. And thanks to you for showing what “winter interest” plants are supposed to look like. How do you remember all the plant names???!!! Totally impressed. Your enthusiasm of plants being beautiful in dormancy gives us novice gardens hope. 😊
Thank you so much for inspiring me! I have a 40-year shade garden in my backyard with 40+ “old-timey” azaleas. I made tons of notes for new perennials to add to my garden. Please give Mimi a hug for me.
Your mom's garden is great! So fun and thanks for sharing!
Always enjoy a wander through your Mum’s garden, thank you Mimi and Jenny ♥️♥️
Just as interesting in the winter
Beautiful as always
Love visiting Mimi’s garden great inspiration for me and my dry shade area. Thanks for the tour always enjoyable.
Love your Mama's garden! The unique stone container with the hostas and ferns is stunning!
What a beautiful place. Mimi's gardens are so inviting and peaceful! My Mom's favorite rose was yellow too❤
I am always thrilled to see videos of your Mother's gardens. So peaceful and lovely any season. Thank you "Mimi" and Jenny!!
I love seeing your moms garden because it is very much how my garden is with mostly shade, even though I'm in Massachusetts.
Just love seeing Mimi's garden. Such beauty! A great inspiration to all of us! I also wonder if either of you ever figured out what those beautiful ferns are of hers that came from an aunt. I'd love to get some like them although I don't know if they'd be hardy in my zone 6b. Thanks for the tour!
Jenny,
Love, love, LOVE your Mama's shade garden. My back yard is mostly shade & seeing Mimi's has truly been inspiring! ❤❤❤
How fun!!!
I absolutely love your mommas garden!! I would never leave especially in the spring!!! 🌸💕💕
I love seeing Mimi’s garden. Thank you for the tour!
Mimis garden is absolutely fantastic! We always enjoy her yard tours. I can just imagine the inside of her home to be just as,if not more fabulous. Filled with mouth watering antiquities and farm house decor.
I did Not Know Mimi lived on the same property as you guy’s. WOW. It’s nice she’s so close. Fantastic garden. Thank for sharing this with us. 💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
