Oh Erin! I ended up watching this video while in the same room as my husband and therefore kept having to stop the video to listen to his comments and laugh. I just came home yesterday with a car that looked just like this. I was driving somewhere and passed by a garden center that is going out of business (owners retiring) and they were selling EVERYTHING for 50% off. This included huge fountains, statuary, pots, trees, perennials, annuals, etc. Most of the comments said by you in the video were said by me to my husband yesterday when I got home from that sale. You made my day!!!!!! And our local garden center made my day yesterday too!
You lucky lady Erin. Wish more garden centers would let gardeners have this opportunity, instead of letting their plants succumb at the end of the year. Best wishes for this planting opportunity.
You're not looking at it from a business point of view where a loss can be a tax write off. Instead you're talking as if plants have feelings & they don't. Plants are a commodity & for a business it's about profit & loss.
After losing Odin, planting all of these plants is good therapy for you. Of course Dorothy will help you too. Let your tears flow and smile when you think of your friend Odin and how he helped you water everything.
The smile on your face when you said look at this a whole tray of banana is so reminiscent of when I show my daughter all the neat things I got at the plant shop!!
GO BACK!!!! Get some of the plants you want & realize you didn’t get!!! They need the sales & want the business AND you want the plants. It’s a win- win! PS I still am really jealous of your haul 😂 but in our 118 degree heat & humidity down here, I’d die trying to plant it all & keep it watered! 🥵☀️
If you’re going to lose your mind, doing it at a garden center and coming home with a car load of plants is an excellent way to do it. I’ve been there.
This "HAUL" is just incredible Erin!!! I would guess you've got at least $400.00 worth of heaven. Wish I lived near you as I would help you put them in there places. I live in Twin Cities. Today, would be a day I would "NEVER FORGET". I'm so happy for you. Blessings Dear.
Best video ever!! “I wasn’t thinking. I lost my mind. It was an out of body experience.” It is my new mantra. Relatable, hilarious and I am so glad you didn’t have a plan.
I love Bayside garden center! I went last night and my mind was blown! I couldn’t even think because I was so overwhelmed! I got so many awesome plants! Happy planting! :-)
While driving to work last summer a mom and pop nursery was putting out flats next to the road. As I drove past I saw a sign.. FREE. Screeched my car to a halt! Much like you I lost my damn mind. I loaded my car. It was a gardeners dream. I smiled for days!! Turns out they clear out the greenhouse to start mums for fall. Happy Planting!!!
Incredible! And so nice that the plants appear to be well taken care of. So many garden centres, around here at least, just seem to stop watering and toss their annuals rather than offer them to their customers at a good price. Happy planting.
Now that is when you go to your local U-Haul center, get a van and fill that sucker up lol. What an incredible haul Erin! You found some amazing specimens. All I can say is that is my kind of "accidental" plant haul - enjoy!
Ok…one so jealous, when you showed the plants stacked on top of one another in the back of the car. Started laughing when you opened the rear passenger door, and laughed so hard I was crying when you opened the front passenger door. And second, I hope you have an army to help you get all that in the ground. Good luck. Can’t wait to see everything in the ground in your next posting.
Your video reminded me of a clown car at the circus… more and more keep coming out! You got a massive amount of cool fillers and a few bargain knock outs! Happy planting! 🪴🌸
Loved your video! It made me smile from ear to ear. Can’t wait to see where they all end up. Good luck with the private tour. I’m sure your place will look amazing.
Thanks for the big chuckle Erin. I laughed harder with every plant that came out of the car. Your comment about why you bought them was frequently "I thought I would put them somewhere". I wouldn't be able to leave them there either. Good thing your vehicle wasn't bigger!!!
Watched your video last night, called my sister, took a 2 hour road trip from Chicago area to north Milwaukee today, came back with a significantly loaded car. Wonderful sister trip, great haul. Thank you for getting the info out quickly.
I found a stack of dishpans at a thrift store. I use them all the time for soaking new plants. They store easily and are great bins for carrying multiple plants, garden tools, etc. I’ve used them for years. No need to store a big old kiddie pool. 😊
I love cart sales! It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who loses their mind at cart sale. 😄 "It was an out of body experience " You are hilarious! You got some great plants. I can't wait to see how you incorporate them.
Oh my gosh! How many times do any of us go to a nursery and lose our minds???!!! Those are so cool looking plants. I like the idea of the bananas planted with the grasses. I sure wish my husband could have seen the inside of your car. That way he could realize I'm not crazy. At least not crazy by myself.
I laughed all the way through this... absolutely amazing sale. If only..... nothing EVER happens like that around here.... as I sit here staring at a 14 ' bay bush that's about 50 years old... and if I could I'd cut it down. Enjoy planting all of those. We all, I guess, have plant envy of one kind or another. I'd love to be able to plant any of those bananas!
Reminds me of a time my friend and I went visiting two nurseries and a winery. My vehicle looked d like yours and just had enough space for the wine we bought. So much fun!
This last Tuesday my local nursery posted on Facebook that ALL remaining annuals were FREE. I quickly grabbed 2 flats of bedding begonias, and 40+ 4inch pots of big begonias and two types of fuschia. They are all I the ground, they’ll either grow or not……but they were headed to the compost heap so why not try it? Fertilized and in the ground they will soon be happy!
OMG! You plant shop like I do! I've had 5ft tall trees and a dozen shrubs packed into my old Jeep Cherokee. The tree came all the way through to the front dashboard! Love your plant haul!!
Way to shop 🙌🏻! Every spring my neighbor and I fill my car to capacity lol. You need to hang the baskets on the handles on your car’s ceiling or on the headrest, that way you have more space below. Love this!😊
“I lost my mind and I wasn’t thinking” 😆 isn’t that how shopping at a nursery always is? I understand your enthusiasm and love of a good deal for plants! The zinnias, bay plant, and Rex begonia were my favorite! You’ll have to update us when they’re planted!
“They were already on the cart, what was I going to do at that point?….” Made me laugh.
Truth, girl, truth.
Wow a haul is an understatement! Have fun planting
Laughed out loud literally
“I lost my mind and I wasn’t thinking” my words every time I go to a greenhouse!😊
There's something glorious about driving home with so many plants in the car. It's the best feeling
I wish I lived in your neck of the woods!
SUPER plant haul !!! Lucky you!!! PLEASE show us what it looks like after you've planted them all !!!
I absolutely love when people come through my drive-thru at work with their car loaded down with plants! Makes my day! 🌿 🍔
Awesome!!!
Can we get a “private” garden tour after you get everything spiffed up?! 😊

Those bananas are amazing!! I hope she tries over wintering a few.
With every tray taken out of the car I chuckled more! LOVE it!
Quick clean up for your car: take your blower, yes leaf blower and open all the doors. Just blow out the car. Works for fog hair too.
Omg, i would go back for a second carload.😅
Holy cow, best annual plant haul ever!!!
GO BACK!!!! Get some of the plants you want & realize you didn’t get!!! They need the sales & want the business AND you want the plants. It’s a win- win!

Ha, ha..."I lost my mind and I wasn't thinking." Totally relate!
FUN!!!!! That was a FUN haul!!!!!
Well done Erin 😁 though I am feeling sorry for the garden centre, they must have had a tough year this year. Happy planting! 👍😁
If you’re going to lose your mind, doing it at a garden center and coming home with a car load of plants is an excellent way to do it. I’ve been there.
That banana foliage ♥️ that t rex ♥️ you cleaned up !!! ♥️♥️♥️
I love your sense of humour Erin. What a grand deal ! 👍
Erin, you are hilarious. The plants kept coming…it was like the gardening version of a clown car ❤
!!!MY GOSH!!! ✨️JACKPOT!!! ✨️
Even WITH a plan
I would've lost my mind!!
I love the use of “being over served”!🤣🤣🤣🤣What a great deal! Enjoy!😎✌🏻
Wow! Please give us a tour when you are done planting!
Shopping a plant sale is like eating at a Chinese Buffet: Everthing is yummy, and I "over-serve myself" every time! 😊
This "HAUL" is just incredible Erin!!! I would guess you've got at least $400.00 worth of heaven. Wish I lived near you as I would help you put them in there places. I live in Twin Cities. Today, would be a day I would "NEVER FORGET". I'm so happy for you. Blessings Dear.

@maruiacancerc STOP TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE! YOU ARE BEING REPORTED!!
Holy cow, I'm sure every one of us would have lost our mind too. I hope the sale is still on for those who can get there.
Love the accidental plant haul but now you must plant them all!!🤣🤣🤣
What a plant lottery! Green with envy here. Can’t wait to get a tour of their placement in the garden.
Nice video🌹🌹❤❤
Wow, what a haul of beautiful plants! Can't beat the price. "I lost my mind and I wasn't thinking".....LOL!
Plants on plants on plants! So fun! Wish I was there!
Loved the show today. Your joy at getting all these flowers was wonderful to see.
On my way to find my 120.00

WOW!!! What a DEAL! You gotta be kidding. 😍
JACKPOT
"I LOST MY MIND" -- too funny. I would have done the same! 😂
I swear this is how gardeners mourn. My mom passed this summer and new plants is the best therapy.

A woman after my own heart! I've filled my SUV to the gills like that in the past - what fun! Wish I could have gotten those prices though!
So funny! I literally almost wet my pants when you pulled 6 banana plants out of that car! Ha ha!
Loved your video! It made me smile from ear to ear. Can’t wait to see where they all end up. Good luck with the private tour. I’m sure your place will look amazing.
You hit the mother load of jackpots! 👏🏻👏🏻
Wow! You won the plant lottery.
Retail plant therapy! Plus a sale too! Don't blame you! Now planting all of that.🌱🌺🌼🌼🌻🌻💐
Wow, Erin, you made out like a bandit! "Overserved" LOL! It was a plant therapy high. 😄
Laughed out loud because that would have been me!
“I lost my mind and I wasn’t thinking!!” 😂😂
The Marguerites really come into their own in the cooler weather of autumn
Wow! SCORE! That’s a happy car load!
Thanks for the big chuckle Erin. I laughed harder with every plant that came out of the car. Your comment about why you bought them was frequently "I thought I would put them somewhere". I wouldn't be able to leave them there either. Good thing your vehicle wasn't bigger!!!

I keep a blanket in the car so I can drop the seat and load it with plants whenever I need to. I’ve never had quite as many as you! Great haul!,
Your car was like a magician’s hat! You just kept pulling plants out of nowhere!! 😂
How fun!
Omigosh! Plant haul of the century! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 love everything you got and thanks for sharing 🤩
Holy cow, what a score!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hell yes, we want to see your plants!🌱🪴🌴🥀
The garden tour will be spectacular!
That banana and grass combination ❤ that’ll look amazing into fall
Holy plant haul Batman!!!!! Wow. Wish I was attending that garden tour!!!! Best of luck getting it done!
Awesome score! We know what you will be doing this weekend. Lol.
I found a stack of dishpans at a thrift store. I use them all the time for soaking new plants. They store easily and are great bins for carrying multiple plants, garden tools, etc. I’ve used them for years. No need to store a big old kiddie pool. 😊
Oh how I would enjoy touring your yard!!
Oh my goodness, I'm laughing and loving this! My car often looks this way after a visit to the garden center!
You struck gold, Erin!!! 🌼🌼🌼 Linda
I've never been so envious of someone.
I love cart sales! It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who loses their mind at cart sale. 😄 "It was an out of body experience " You are hilarious! You got some great plants. I can't wait to see how you incorporate them.

Yes, may we all be over-served by the nurseries in our areas. Hope the panting is easy.
I laughed all the way through this... absolutely amazing sale. If only..... nothing EVER happens like that around here.... as I sit here staring at a 14 ' bay bush that's about 50 years old... and if I could I'd cut it down. Enjoy planting all of those. We all, I guess, have plant envy of one kind or another. I'd love to be able to plant any of those bananas!
I literally gasped when you brought out the bananas!
What a score love dwarf banana and T. Rex’s so beautiful
WOW!!!
Reminds me of a time my friend and I went visiting two nurseries and a winery. My vehicle looked d like yours and just had enough space for the wine we bought. So much fun!
Erin is all of us, lol. Happy planting.
Wow! Good for you!! Right place, right time!
Wow what a snag. Love this video. Can’t wait to see where you place everything. Love your Humor.
This last Tuesday my local nursery posted on Facebook that ALL remaining annuals were FREE. I quickly grabbed 2 flats of bedding begonias, and 40+ 4inch pots of big begonias and two types of fuschia. They are all I the ground, they’ll either grow or not……but they were headed to the compost heap so why not try it? Fertilized and in the ground they will soon be happy!
OMG! You plant shop like I do! I've had 5ft tall trees and a dozen shrubs packed into my old Jeep Cherokee. The tree came all the way through to the front dashboard! Love your plant haul!!
Wow!
“ I lost my mind and I wasn’t thinking” 🤣. Been there too Erin. Hope we get to see where they end up in your fabulous gardens. 🌼🌸🌻
Wow! You scored some nice pants and lots of them! You had me laughing.
The universe figured you needed a nice surprise :) happy planting
JELLY-LUSH! AWESOME SCORE❗
Wow! That is a plant haul and then some! Great job! I look forward to seeing it all in and your garden tour as well! 👏👏
a girl after my own heart..🥰😍❣
Wow that is one great plant haul! What great deals!!!
Fun, fun, fun. Thanks for sharing.🎉
Way to shop 🙌🏻! Every spring my neighbor and I fill my car to capacity lol. You need to hang the baskets on the handles on your car’s ceiling or on the headrest, that way you have more space below. Love this!😊

Lol this is so me! Love it!
Wow! It’s like hitting the lottery!
