I absolutely love Allyson’s ‘naturalistic’ philosophy. I think she is one of my kindreds when it comes to propagation and encouraging what works. What a treasure! You have to go back to her garden periodically so we can see how it progresses…. Thanks for continuing to share your subscribers’ spaces.

Allyson’s garden is beautiful! Not only is she resourceful, she is so inspirational! I love her ‘don’t be scared’ and ‘Just do it’ attitude. Allyson, thanks for sharing. Your shed is incredible. ❤M

What an extremely talented lady yet humble. She is a natural on camera, Another excellent tour Janey! Love the senior puppy.

What a fun tour. Thanks. I love that her dad said, there’s nothing you can do that we can’t fix”. We all need a back up in our lives. ❤

Allyson! I’m so impressed, you planted a large tree right away, the tomato cages are ingenious, the shed is a dream, the wagons are so sweet, the arches add vertical height, you are a practical, go for it gardener. It’s a lovely property. 🇨🇦

Yes, 'resourceful' describes Allyson and her garden perfectly. I especially love that she is fearless, and therefore successful, in her attempts at gardening and building. She designed and made her own tomato cages that will last forever! - did everyone hear that? OMGoodness, the potting shed. I love the fact that it is simple in design and style as that equates to beauty. The story of the windows - I'm sure they were in rough shape but look how beautiful she restored them. Great tour, Janey.

OMG! A person who uses my "ocean sound" trick to ignore traffic noise! I thought I was the only one! Allyson is lucky to have had the chance to learn all this hands on stuff from her dad. I am afraid that I am all thumbs and clueless when it comes to building something. I love her dad's attitude about it. I always try to reuse what I have before buying. It really helps the budget. As a Christmas present, my husband built an adorable Little Library out of a birdbath base whose top was knocked off and broken by some rowdy raccoons, the wood box was made from pices of random lumber he found under the house that was going to get trashed, and my daughter painted a charming design on it, and I absolutely LOVE it! Btw, Harry is ADORABLE!🥰

I love that she includes her 16 year old puppy. I too have one the same age. Although Buckeye does not see well, but he loves the fresh air and being out in the garden. Allison garden was an inspiration to see all that she has done to make her garden very unique .

Harry doesn’t see very well anymore either, so he’s pretty slow. But he still loves to be in the garden as well. ❤🐶

I love this garden tour, it’s perfect size, and relatable, she did an amazing job with design.

Great tour! I can relate to Allyson; I often think gardeners, especially new gardeners, “overthink” gardening….that takes the fun out of it 😊

Allyson, you are soooo brilliant! That painted floor in your amazing shed! those windows! that dry sink! those wagons! your beautiful white picket fences and archways, the firepit area, it's all so amazing! But most of all your sheer fearlessness with plants. That courage to dig it up and move it, chop it in half and make two plants from one and then "see what happens". What a pleasure to meet you and visit your garden. Thank you Janey for these garden visits, they're amazing!

Love her garden! And love her not afraid to do things attitude - and that cutest little Harry - OMG he is so cute! Thank-you both for letting us see this great garden! Inspiring!

The shed is amazing, the floor unbelievably beautiful ❤. Her and her father should make and sell these sheds. Just gorgeous.

Henry was the true star of this video, love his little trot down the ramp. Love everything about this garden, so much inspiration and taking notes and stealing ideas!!!!

From one Allyson to another: I love what you have done in your garden. It is all so inspiring , your creative abilities are beautifully used, and that floor is so neat... Way to go!

Love her design in each separate area/rooms. Love the arches & great idea/info on the tomato cages, thank you. Her shed is to die for. Absolutely gorgeous yard.

Another great garden visit!!! Thank you Allyson and Janey!!! Love the comment, that we’ve all learned from Laura!!! So true.

What a great tour!! Love her resourceful nature. Little Henry is adorable! That shady corner would look great with an underplanting of huchera and hostas under her crape Myrtle. Shed is beautiful 😍 🎉

Wow, Allyson's garden is a delight! Please thank her for allowing you to feature her landscape (and positive attitude) on your channel. I love it so much! 😍

That was a really fun tour! I really appreciate Allyson’s attitude of “We’ll give it a try and see if it works.” Over the last few years I’ve started to adopt that attitude myself. My friend, Laura, from Oregon 😉really made me think about what I love in my garden and if it doesn’t make me happy, take it out. Changing my thinking has helped me tremendously and allowed me to find more joy in my garden.😊💚

Sweet Henry. Hope you have a few more good years❤️🐾! Love the attitude of divide, move, some die, etc. Patience is such a blessing!

Love Allyson’s garden. So beautiful and her can do attitude is just like Laura. Thanks for sharing this garden Janey…

Oh my gosh I love her she shed! The garden is absolutely beautiful also.

This was such a fun, informative and freeing video of Allyson's gardening. Now I will feel free to move things, try different plants and if they live it's party time and if not, I will try again. Allyson's shed is too perfect, I want one. The wire arbors are giving me ideas. Thank you Janey for the video.

Allyson, Your garden is gorgeous! I love all the salvias! I especially love that you have divided and propagated so many plants. My grandma always shared her plants with friends that way! I love that your hydrangeas are from your mom’s garden. I have a few plants in my garden that I received in the same way. So special that the plant has its own unique history. 💕 Janey, thank you so much for sharing Allyson’s garden with us. So very beautiful! 😍

I just love these visiting garden tours!!! Allison’s garden is amazing!

I loved this video and this gorgeous garden. That shed are what dreams are made of. Thank you for an inspiring garden tour! 😊

I love this video with Allyson!! thank you, to both of you for comments, advise. Loved it.

Janey she is incredible, so resourceful, a real DIY gardener and home owner , gives inspiration to many others so glad you found her she is fascinating.

Allyson is so cool! Harry is adorable! 😭❤️ I love this garden!

By far my favorite favorite garden tour to date Janey

Fabulous! Thank you so much Allyson for sharing your beautiful space with us! Great tour Janey, we learn so much from all these different spaces!🇨🇦👏🌸

I love this garden. I like you and her together! Naturalistic!!

Love Allyson’s garden such a treat to see another garden using power tools and not afraid to test the boundaries of a plant. Thank you

LOVE ALLYSON'S yard, gardens, shed...ALL of it!

Fun! So encouraging. A Belgian wall on the full length of the municipal black wall would be stunning and help it not to radiate so much heat, and create great cohesion for the veg and hang out gardens.

That Shed!! An inspiration...the floor has given me ideas!! Thanks Allyson and Janey!!

Everything is so beautiful and the floor in the shed... WOW!!

I audibly gasped when you walked into her raised bed area! Like a secret garden just like you said! That’s what I want for walking into my cut flower garden!

What a great garden tour Janey! I love Allison's "try it and see" attitude - that's how you really learn to garden. I still have many plants from relatives and friends growing in my garden from 20 or 30 years ago that they gave me to get started - it's a link to those we love and treasure. ❤

Oh my goodness, you can definitely divide Mexican petunia. Dig out a chunk and move it. I have moved it all over my yard for years. I’m in the south zone eight and if I don’t keep an eye on it, it will take over here. I have a spot where I don’t want it anymore. I mow it every week, and it pops up again by the next week I have given a ton of it away. It has woody stems, and I cut it back every fall. 🌸

Really, really well done and very helpful for encouraging me to follow my dream of a naturalistic, 'flowing' garden.

Love Allyson's garden, love her practical attitude, and as a dachshund owner, LOVE her old sausage dog with tongue and all!!

I love this garden! What a wonderful video! Thanks to all for sharing.❤

Thanks for the tour, Janey! Allyson does such a great job with her garden. I really enjoyed listening to her approach with gardening. I love everything about the garden, Allyson. I think a hidden gem is the block wall! As she said, she never has to replace it! I think I would head to my nearest antique store and find some really unique pieces to decorate the wall (unless she is prohibited from doing so, but we won't tell!) 😀

Yes!!! You can divide a Mexican Petunia. I've done it to mine in a container and shared with friends the last two years, and it is super happy, as usual, this year.

Love the shed! Love the wall backdrop and all the arches, great garden and space! 🌻

Beautiful! I love how resourceful she is. I’m going to look at my prunnings differently now. Love these tours!

Janey, thank you for another amazing garden tour. Allison is a very resourceful gardener and her results are amazing. I love her “ don’t be scared to try” attitude. I need to try dividing some of my plants after seeing her results, instead of taking cuttings to propagate.

It’s funny, when you guys talked about Kellogg soil, Epic Gardening did soil comparisons and it faired the worst. I switched to it last year and have had terrible results, kept wondering what was going on, and think it’s because it has too much wood not broken down yet. I’m going to use my extra bags as mulch, great idea!

I have used Kellog outdoor potting soil as a mulch for years but am finally getting tired of needing to scratch the surface so water could get through because of the tightness of the pieces.

I watched that video. It wasn't even close to scientific. I think about the number of times I have big differences between individual plants where I've used exactly the same soil etc. You really need multiple plants for a fair comparison.

Interesting! I didn’t see that video, but it really surprises me to hear this. I have used Kellogg brand soils for years and have never had a problem. My ground soil LOVES this as mulch!

FABULOUS VIDEO and Tour!!! I have to watch this again and again! I'm moving to my Daughter's in Bonita, CA and the ground is all sand. I need to put down the raised beds that are in this video. There are lots of gophers. What a lush garden.. I'm going to have to work fast. Thank you for sharing.......Continued Blessings to you both...

Really love her garden, beautiful!!Love her shed!!

Allyson, you deserve all the praise you are receiving in these comments. I'm so happy you were able to do this. You have so many talents God has blessed you with and gardening is just one of the many.

Love Allyson’s garden! I definitely need to embrace her philosophy of don’t be afraid. I’m getting better at experimenting but its still hard for me when I lose plants.

Amazing garden and such a talented lady. Enjoy the garden tours.

Another amazing garden. Love Sunday morning garden tours. I wish I could just throw things in the ground and they would grow the way hers does. Her ideas for tomato cages and trellises, so much better than we can find at stores. Thank you again, both of you, for a wonderful morning tour

When you first started the video in the front yard, I wasn't excited. But go thru the arch and wow. A different world. We've tried growing corn in a raised bed, not a good yield this year. We'll try next year. I love her two white arbors. Did she build them? After going thru the white arbors it's another world. Wow. Did she use stencil on the floor of her shed? Great idea for the tomato cages, wash tub, little wagons, making obelisks from vines, using cement blocks as risers.

She's special. I loved every inch of her garden!

Truly, inspirational love her vision and space. If she has the design of her potting shed built by her father and can share. The size is perfect, and to keep seedlings outside in a potting shed is awesome.

Allison is a very talented lady and I love her sweet doggie. The potting shed is awesome. Thanks Allison and Janey. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️

Allyson is such an inspiration! I’m heading into my garden right now to pick out plants to propagate.

To propagate your Mexican petunia, just simply break off a piece and stick it in water and it will grow roots over time. They also come in pink.

Stunning!! ❤glad I found this page she’s an inspiration!

What a lush, well laid out, smartly developed (with all the dividing and propagating) garden!! And the shed, come on!! The Dutch door, the floor, the windows (and their price)…just ridiculous in such a good way! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space.

Take cuttings of the banana cream - they are so easy to propagate. From that one plant Allyson could get about 10-15 cuttings going easily! You don't always have to divide in the winter and spring - cuttings are brilliant.

Such a fun tour with a lovely woman! Thank you both!

Just beautiful, I love her approach to gardening.😊

We used to do our tomato cages that same way. You actually can cut the zip ties at the end of the season and they will nest a little bit against each other but it does take some effort.

Another beautiful garden, She is so fearless and humble. Thanks for showing your garden.

Beautiful garden, I do the same in my garden and have also become obsessed and learning .😊

Wow, such an awesome garden! I love Allison's positive fearless attitude and her resourcefulness! She is so inspirational, and her garden is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for another wonderful garden tour, Janey❣️💚

Love Allison's attitude. I'm in love with the wall, the colors, the height. Perfect backdrop

Hi Janey🌺 . Wonderful tour at this stunning garden . Have a great day .🌺🌻🌺

Another great garden tour. I love Alison’s fearlessness. Thank you for sharing your garden with us.

She’s right, the Mexican petunia is invasive( in south texas). You can actually hear the seeds popping out which is kind of cool, but with the rain and humidity they take over.

She has a beautiful and resourceful garden. Thanks for sharing! Yes, Mexican petunia is considered semi invasive in Texas.

What a beautiful garden,just loved it!

It’s absolutely beautiful. The back turned out to be quite the surprise. I think it would be nice if she does the front as well

I have the Mexican Petunia new to my garden this year and I love it! Great garden, thanks for sharing ❤

Allyson your garden is beautiful. Here in Texas where we get more rain the Mexican Petunias are aggressive. They spread by underground rhizome. You can propagate by cuttings. I have rooted them in water and soil also. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and garden with us.

Just love everything about this garden

Oh my, just love Allyson's garden. Those arches and her "give it a try" attitude is so cool.

Um!!!! What an amazing woman. That little garden shed is so beautiful. And those windows!!! All of it!!! Love so much.

My cucumbers and green beans are growing up a cattle panel trellis! From tractor supply! And it’s amazing!! No rust super durable!!

Allyson is so talented!

That shed is wonderful, and the door shows off her amazing skills. Wow! Beautiful gardens.

Wow! What a beautiful garden.

Wow! I learned a lot! Thx Allyson! Loved the tour

I enjoyed this tour so much. Thank you

Such a gorgeous garden! I loved it all. And Harry coming down the ramp was adorable. ❤

❤What an humble person Allison is. I do admire her

Yes you can divide your Mexican petunia. I have many that I have divided and even a stem starts in vase of water.

Thank you both! Loved it!

Allison, what a wonderful oasis you have created. I join Janey in saying how I love the way that you approach your gardening,...with no fear and a can-do attitude,

I truly appreciate this vedio. Allyson makes me feel comfortable about gardening. Does that make sense? Thanks alot to both you ladies. 😊

I love your garden!!!! I have 12 arches in my garden and love them😊

In answer to your question, Mexican perennials (Ruellia simplex) are very easy to multiply from cuttings taken in late summer or fall and over-wintered in an unheated greenhouse. In addition, the rhizomes can be divided when you tidy up/cut back plants that survive winter; they are tender perennials that often survive our Zone 9b/Davis, CA winters. I love these plants for their shiny, dark green foliage and beautiful 1" purple flowers that bloom from June to late fall with no need for dead-heading.

Great video....always learning. Thank you for sharing.

Wow I love her garden!! So many great ideas and I love how she repurposes so many things

Janey what a great garden tour! Allyson is my new hero!
