Those Poppies and that first Dogwood in the video are just breathtaking. Erin, you don't need to edit your garden strolls - just post them because the plants speak for themselves - so stunning!

That rosey teacups dogwood continues to be a stunner!

You went sailboat racing overnight and then returned home to a beautiful garden?Adopt me: I cook, I clean, I weed 😙😂

That dark red maroons poppy is awesome

The poppies and feverfew. Perfection!!!!

The bird you hear is a house wren! Love the Rosey Teacups Dogwood, going to have to try and find one for my yard. Penstemon-midnight masquerade.

Finally got some rain in southeast PA so I’m extra excited to watch this garden stroll!

That’s where I am too, finally!

I enjoy this video a lot more as there are more long or wide shots and it showed the garden and design. Love seeing the layout and design of a garden in the property as much as seeing the plants

What’s to edit? Your videos always seem perfect to me and having more of your garden wisdom is really priceless.

Love these garden strolls! I think we all are better with less editing and more “life as is.” Thanks for all your efforts to keep us updated, Erin. Your garden is stunning!

I get notifications and never have ever missed a video 🎉

Everything is looking so good Erin!. I have been seeing a difference in what KZread shows me. It is not always my subscriptions, Thanks for the tips about liking and commenting. Happy summer to you.

Totally agree!

Loving these weekly update walk & tours! Thanks for the shout out 😀 Hope your eyelids heal 🩹👩🏽‍🌾🌸

Your planters are perfection! I love the mix of plants you use. The bird sounds like a Carolina Wren. Tiny birds with a big voice. They nest in unusual places. (On a shelf on my deck.) Thanks for sharing the beauty of your garden with us!

Love your garden strolls! How have I missed putting in alliums?!? And yes, the Japanese beetles have made it up to Canada too, Zone 4b. They always head for my rugosa type roses, but never bother the 2 'Canadian Shield' or the Explorer series 'John Cabot'. If anyone wants to have success with a rose, I highly recommend the 'Canadian Shield'. Lovely deep red tea type flowers on a shrub/climber. It's very hardy, flowers early, profusely, and until frost! Even the deer leave it alone. [Didn't mean to sound like an ad, but this one is the most rewarding rose I've ever grown!] Happy gardening!

Wow, Japanese Beetles in zone 4b. I wouldn’t have thought they reached that far into CA. I live in the US/Mass zone 6b and they showed up last week. I’m sure theres lots of damage to come.

Where do you purchase ‘Canadian Shield’ on line?

I love your unedited garden strolls! They’re so real, and I appreciate that. Your gardens are beautiful, as always.😍 What I cannot get over is the fact that you are wearing a long sleeve; I’m in zone 8a, hot, humid Mississippi, so I’m a little jealous right now.😂🥵

Another great garden tour today as usual beautifully put together

Hi Erin! I don’t know if this interests you as a topic, but I would love to hear about where you buy your large containers, how you get them home, cost if you’re comfortable sharing, etc. I am thinking of adding several large containers and would love to know your thoughts on sourcing. Also, like you I’m in a cold climate (zone 4b/5a) so keeping them safe in winter. Love the tour as always!

I think that bird is a Carolina wren. Sweet birds, tiny but loud song 🍃🤗❤️

My Blueberry muffin hosta looks great with its blooms. I could kinda take or leave the other ones but the hummingbirds like them

So enjoyable, everything is just beautiful. That volunteer blue delphinium is breathtaking! Thank you!

Just love walking around your garden. Being unedited feels like a friend touring together. Feel like getting a coffee or depending on the hour a glass of wine. Enjoy your day and good luck planting. 😊

A lot of hard work went on here ; looks so beautiful , sure do appreciate it !

Thank you Erin. Your garden is beautiful ! 💐💚🙃

I had my first success with poppies this year but it was only one plant. Now after that and seeing this video I need so so many more next year.

I put my big white mop head hydrangea in a playpen 😉 I put a wire leaf composter around it a few years ago and that holds it upright nicely, with the green wire disappearing as it grows taller.

Rosy teacups is a beauty! Sad about all the earwigs and tiny slug/snail damage this year. Loved the tour. Thank you!

I think Erin has just sold hundreds of rosy teacup dogwoods. Thinking about ripping out the serviceberries.

Thanks for the tour. I wish I could drive by

this is the best format. I enjoy the realty of it all. let us know if you solve the rabbit issue. if that size dog doesn't scare them, I don't think my old lady will.

It’s their home, too. At least that’s what I tell myself. (Of course I also have city rats) I actually got tulip bulbs to survive and bloom-was it from cloaking them in hot red pepper flakes? I do make a hot pepper tea and spray the plants in the spring. I think it helps the curious ones to avoid the plants.

Midnight masquerade penstemon perhaps? I have a bunch and love them! Your dogwood is sooo beautiful! I would love to find a place in my garden for one. Everything looks beautiful! I have to watch the video through again and take some plant notes. I love how you use clematis…a definite add to my garden.🩷💚

I have serious clematis envy! I just can’t figure out what they need in my garden. Everything looks lush and beautiful Erin!

Great tour Erin! Are those poppies planted by scattering the seeds? They are beautiful!

Beautiful 🌼🐝

This is my second year growing the Royal Sunset lilies and mine are already done blooming. I’m in Los Angeles zone 10. I fell in love with the lilies when I saw them on one of your garden tours. They’re amazing.

Never apologize. I love your garden.

Great chitchat some great information and a beautiful, beautiful video. Love all your beautiful

Your garden looks great and very peaceful. Thanks for a garden stroll.

These strolls are the best! Love to see the changes. I now need clematis!!!

Nice video tour!

Lovely tour.

Love everything but those poppies and feverfew combo is perfection!

Great tour, thanks for sharing

I've been getting your videos on my feed but I watch them all pretty much lol

Also a huge fan of Etoile Violette. I have it scrambliing up a big tree -- some years more successfully than others. Thanks for another great stroll!

Thanks for sharing. I must say your Sun kiss looks very becoming...😎

Midnight masquerade penstemon. Love the poppies!! And the Dogwood!!😍

On your slate and gravel walkway, there is a non toxic sealer (spray), non- skid, you can spray on to keep the little stones in place. I saw it on a You tube short where someone did it over their commercial bark mulch & also stone. I used the leftover Behr concrete sealer in high gloss that we used on our front patio (surrounded by plants) on a new sloped walkway we made that looks exactly like your configuration: slate slabs with small rounded pebbles. It looks amazing!! We just poured straight from the jug into a sprayer--easy!

The dogwood + your door color= on point! Did you plan that?

Let’s say yes. 😉

The garden is advancing nicely, Erin! So many pretty blooming things. I think that clematis is Alianoushki (sp?). Love it! Thanks for another lovely stroll.

Your property is beautiful. And your Garden tours are always fun and informative. Envious of your long sleeve 😂 from N.Dallas Tx. 🥵

The garden looks amazing!!

Fabulous!!

I second you on Étoile Violette. My plants have taken a lot of abuse and neglect but they always perform beautifully. I had to dismantle my city terrace garden to fix the roof. I had a lot of clematis there and needed to find a place to put them fast. A lot are now growing up into holly bushes and arbs on the country property. They are very happy, but people do ask me whether those shrubs have purple flowers. Thanks for doing these tour videos -- it's so interesting to see your garden and how it is progressing. It's pouring at the moment so I am not really playing hookey from my garden. Those dark red poppies are wonderful. We've got plenty of pests in the Hudson Highlands but no bunnies due, I suspect, to the hawks and eagles.

Hi Erin, thanks for all your gardening wisdom. I'm in z5b/6a Massachusetts so a similar climate. Please consider doing a favorite plant portion in each of your garden strolls, or at least seasonally. Maybe your top 3 performers for early spring, spring, early summer, etc. This sure would help me select plants to use in my limited space. Just an idea.

Thanks for the stroll 💕👩‍🌾

My goodness that dogwood is off the charts!

love the garden strolls . the poppies ...

Your gardens are incredibly beautiful! ❤️💜

Love the screen door color 👍

Just FYI, the yellow tree on the postcard is a golden chain tree not a golden rain tree.

LOVE your strolls. We don't need perfection just inspiration. 💕 This year is a new experience for me. My husband and I moved to another state. Our son said I could garden in his front landscape bed. BAD soil (clay) and in ground sprinklers. Such a challenge. Plants in but not growing much. Fingers crossed friends. Love looking at your hosta. Had hail here last week and my son's hosta look terrible. I'm taking them out next year. Learning experience for sure.

Absolutely beautiful indeed!

Love your tours and unedited are the absolute best! Also, I need that Dogwood in my life!😊

I love that you have every colour under the sun…. I myself don’t stick to one colour because why not..

I grew the Mini Me Watermelon coleus with Cherry Cordial begonias and a red salvia in a container last year and it was wonderful. Great combination!

I am so happy to know the Haas Halo hydrangea has done so well after the infestation earlier in the year. I had the same issue with mine. Squashing those things was unpleasant, but I followed your suggestion, and my Haas Halo has recovered and is budding up. Yay!

You have such a beautiful garden . 🪴🌺

I love your garden strolls!!

Another great stroll

Love globe thistle! It's the most asked about plant in my sun garden.

The poppies are stunning!

I spray painted my alums after they were done blooming. So I now have purplish seed head blooms. They look great.

Stunning! Thank you!

Your bird is a house wren, they're tiny but they have a big voice!

Need more poppies for sure! Sunglasses🕶️for sure!

Great Garden beds. I’m just enjoy the hugeness of your property. Wow! ❤

Van Duane gardens are in Vancouver, B.C. and are such a beautiful place. Very magical at Christmas with the light display. Enjoy your videos very much.

Beautiful looking garden, its a pollinators dream.

Great tour, just love your gardens, lots of surprises. Love from Australia, we are having a very mild Winter, so lots of colour.

The bird is a Carolina Wren. New to us here in New Hamphire as of a couple of years ago. Such a beautiful sound in the garden!

LOVE Carissa’s Garden channel!

Funny you were talking about racing! I was in Chicago last weekend and was inspired to go to the Chicago Botanic Garden. All because I started gardening during the pandemic. But while at a wedding reception on a private beach in Rogers Park, a bunch of boats were racing back to Chicago from Waukegan. Evidently not your race. And last night, my daughter raced in the annual Around the Islands race in Bayfield with a record time. They finished in 7.5 hours. Last year it took them around 30 hours. Just a windy year all around, I guess. Sail on!

I planted a Prince Charles this May and to my surprise it pushed 5 blooms after some very rapid growth!

Sounds like a House Wren!

Midnight masquerade penstemon? I love your garden strolls!

You are lucky. I cannot get poppies to grow for me to save my life! Lol

I love your poppies. I planted one poppy this year and it slowly wilted away. I'm sad. Next year I'll try in a different spot. I'm seeing lots of earwigs this year. They are chewing holes in everything. Your lilies are going to be gorgeous when they bloom.

Love the garden strolls! I’m in de Michigan so a little warmer than you but we would grow the same garden! Being frustrated with animals eating my plants. We have deer chipmunks and groundhogs! Even eating coneflower and lantana!!!

Erin, have you ever seen Corydalis, Blue Heron? It’s the most fantastic color of blue flowers on red stems and grey/blue foliage. In pictures it looks fabulous and I’m sure it’s not too shabby in person. Your blue flowers are beautiful and a true blue flower is always worth having, spread about the garden or in pots.

I definitely NEED more Alliums , I only have some little ones that look like large chives , lol pretty, but not very impactful, Thanks again for the great videos !😊

Crazy cool weather today! My limelight hydrangeas have a few flowers. Mostly just buds but actual flowers on a few stems. It’s at least 30 days early. Chicago lakefront so just south of you.

Everything is GORGEOUS 💚 I want one of those dogwoods badly but I need to look it up ,I am in East Tennessee zone 7b , I would stroke for 60/degrees,we get an average of Twenty 90/ degrees a year BUT this year already had 15 straight days of 90and above and today is the last day of June July and August 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️to go and no rain ,not a best gardening season . As I am writing this Rain Rain Rain ,sorry,I am so surprised and excited 🎈🎈🎈🎈

Thankyou Erin

My tiny tuff stuffs have done almost nothing in the last three years. Granted, they were little twigs when I first bought them and we have heavy deer pressure for something that blooms on old wood. I've got a couple blooms on one down here in Maryland. Hoping next year is their year 🙏🏿

Everything looking great. Love the strolls. My takeaway is I need to plant 'Kent Beauty' in the fall, perhaps to replace the sweet woodruff that I have to keep beating back. Re: postcard...we saw this tree, Liburnum 'Golden Chain Tree' for the first time when we were hiking in the Pacific Northwest recently. Another hiker we met along the trail (also a garden enthusiast from the UK) was able to ID the plant for the curious hikers who wandered off the trail to get a closer look...the bees were eerily audible. Reminded me of that creepy movie, The Wicker Man with Nicolas Cage. 😊

My experience with Sweet Alyssum is that it really excels in the autumn.

I have a bunch of things to plant too!! Right now it’s 90° and thunderstorms. Maybe tomorrow!
