  • Visiting my mama's gardens is always a joy, and today I am taking you on a garden tour of some of her gardens. Her dry shade gardens offer a completely different gardening experience than my full sun gardens. Join me as we explore this peaceful space that is nearly 45 years old.

    I love her garden, my kids are always telling me to slow down, and I say the same thing as your momma if You stop and sit that’s when you start dying. I love seeing other gardeners enthusiasm.

    Jenny this is the first time I have seen your momma's garden. I love it! The serenity and peacefulness of it is outstanding. She has done a beautiful job of creating this oasis of beauty. I also like your dad's cute bird house's. Thanks for sharing with us.

    I've never really understood exactly what a woodland garden is until today. This garden is absolutely beautiful!! It's just so natural and so very peaceful. I would be in that garden every day, too just like your mama!! Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous space, and thank you for always encouraging and inspiring people such as myself, who are new to gardening with so many ideas for our spaces!! You never fail at warming my heart with your love of gardening and your "Sweeter than southern sweet tea" demeanor. Peace, love, and blessings to you and your family from here in Tennessee!!

    Jenny, I am grateful that your sweet Mama let you do a video tour of her lovely peaceful gardens, even though they aren't full of flowers at the moment. She definitely has an eye for placing interesting and unique art objects amongst the plants to draw you into the different garden rooms. The things that your Daddy made for their gardens fit perfectly into the space and give it a special vibe. I would love to have this absolutely adorable garden. Mimi definitely has the right idea about making the garden work for them instead of her being an overworked gardener. Please give your parents our thanks and😍 our love and respect. ~Margie🐦🌿🐝🐌

    I love your mama’s garden! It reminds me of my grandmother’s garden. She had mostly sun, but there were some shady spots. Except in winter, we would always walk around her yard seeing what was in bloom. She loved flowers and had mostly perennials. I loved my grandmama’s yard. Thank you to your mama and to you for sharing it with us. It is a lovely peaceful place, just what a garden is supposed to be.

    Jenny, I really love her garden! It reminds me of my parents garden in Arkansas, which also has lots of big pine trees. My momma was also a retired teacher that put so much love and care into her garden after she retired. We lost her in 2020 to cancer, so my daddy tries to keep it all going still, but it's a big job for a 90 year old! Blessings to you, Jerry, and your family!

    Your momma's garden beyond words beautiful! I was just following you through there so intently. So peaceful and natural looking. Everything looks so healthy and she even has voles! Stunning! I deal with moles and they are very frustrating 😤. I love the whimsical touches they have added here and there. That's a skill in itself so it doesn't look tacky. I sooo want a garden like hers. I would be out there just like her, all day! Thank you for and your parents for sharing their little piece of heaven with us ❤️

    I felt so relaxed and peaceful watching all of her garden rooms, her creativity, and the love shown by your dad
    by creatively making additions to her garden. I grew up in Cleveland County, now living in Georgia, and I feel so close to home when I
    watch your show. Thank you for bringing joy to my daily life and I pray that our God continues to bless you and Jerry with your business, because you are certainly a blessing to others.
    By the way, I love your gardens, too, especially the cottage garden. Your mom taught you well!!!😃😃

    Oh Jenny, your momma's garden is fabulous. So nice to see a garden that is thriving on rainwater. The trees make a huge difference in what you can grow providing much needed shade. I live in North Central Texas where we are in an exceptional drought so I really appreciate the fullness and beauty of her garden.

I have mature pines and grow Oak leaf and beauty berry beneath them. . Never thought to grow Lenten Roses. I will be moving some seedlings to that location in the spring. It is always fun to visit and be inspired by other gardeners. I especially like the way she has incorporated the garden sculpture so that they enhance and not detract from the garden.

    Your parents' garden reflects a true HOME garden created by loving hands who seem to love the beauty in the gifts from God our Creator whether that be in the incredible variety of plants He gives us to enjoy, or the beauty in a a piece of wood, a fallen log, or another artist's creation! I appreciate your just being yourself as you walk through "Mimi's garden" in both your joy of sharing information about a plant, while teaching us as well (I likely could be your mama, but ALWAYS learning !) As a fellow Southerner, I love your natural expressions and lilt in your voice. However, I also appreciate and learn from your very different sounding but naturally gifted gardening friend Laura in Oregon...both of you are "down to earth" as we would say...no pretense in any way. And Jerry did a great job on "walking with you" in that woodland garden environ...that's not easy to do without sliding on pine straw or hitting a tree root (unless that's in the 'bloopers' :) Blessings!

Also, it was so clear how much you admire her talents in the garden area and the love you have for her showed during the whole video. It was fun to hear how old the plants were by referencing the life stages of your daughter and the pregnancy of Jackson. Hearing about the items that were put in while you were still young and before you were born was very special as well. I can only hope to have 1/10th of the beauty this garden offers. Thanks again for all of the inspiration and sharing the special talents of your Mother.
