So grateful for this video Jeri. It seems like the world has gotten uglier this summer and to see such beauty in your garden and hear your calming voice has been so helpful. Now it is time for some tea 🫖 💜
I love visiting your perfectly imperfect gardens. Your bunny bench is adorable. Your videos are like a ray of sunshine on a dreary day. Thanks for everything you do, your ideas and hard work are very appreciated!🌻
I hardly ever comment on social media, but just have to say how amazing I think k you are. Geez building things and working hard on garden Reno. Such an inspiration. 🥰
Flowers in a Cottage Garden: Phlox, lavender, Hollyhock, roses, Shasta Daisy, Day lily, larkspur, delphinium and/or bellflower, pansies, Columbine, Geraniums, Pinks, Peonies... All present. Missing anything?? Like people are saying, enjoy your soothing voice and quiet reassurance in this crazy world. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you Jeri. Your energy and dedication to the land is immeasurable !!! You continue to show us that with determination and a cup of tea now and then we also can do it!!! Hugs
That saying about eating an elephant comes to mind. lol It's the same in my garden, sometimes spaces get neglected for awhile, but with some elbow grease it's new again. It looks wonderful Jeri and I love the bench. Those are my kind of projects, re-working what I have and thrifting things that need a little TLC before adding to the garden. I have several areas in my garden where I took pebbles that a spring flood left behind to create pathways with. Right now with the summer humidity here in the South I work at it in short spurts. I love mimosa trees, we have a couple along our creek. The veg garden is keeping me busy indoors of late, canning, freezing and dehydrating produce. Always a pleasure to visit with you in your garden. Happy gardening!
34 minutes of pure pleasure and relaxation. Thank you for spending time with us. So enjoy seeing your garden progress. Your voice soothes the edges off a long day. Happy gardening. It shows how much you love doing this, a piece of garden heaven😊❤️❤️❤️
You are a seriously talented lady, an inspiration to all of us not to mention the stamina it takes to work in this horrible heat we have been having this summer. Love the bench!
Jeri, this was a great video I get the feeling of being there visiting your garden. I really like what you did with the lattice. Especially the open slots at the top. And love your bench. Gives a finished look with a view beyond. I appreciate your hard work. I struggle to keep up with my garden, old body aches and pains. You inspire me to continue.
Beautiful backyard! I weed like you do; bored with something I'm doing, I move on to something else, and then go back and finish! Love the bench you're making!
I love your gardens so much! The rabbits on the bench seat just add something special to it. I must say as well that I really liked how you had your hair in this video...so pretty!
Ms. Jeri, today would have been my grandmother's 108th birthday. Your garden in eastern TN reminds me of the garden we used to have in our Kentucky garden. Today, I must take the bitter with the sweet as I miss my soul mate grandmother was passed 18 years ago. I gotta try to be happy the rest of the days I have here, but nothing replaces the life I had with my grandparents on the farm just outside the little town of La Grange. Thank you for your video that allowed me to close my eyes and go back in time for a bit to the place where I was once happy.
Thank you Ms. Jeri for your kind reply. Indeed I was very fortunate to have my grandparents as when I was born my mother didn't want me and I went straight from the hospital to their home. Something has been on my mind since watching your video. I don't think your dahlia's are getting enough sun. We had a whole row of red dahlia's in our garden that got sun all day long and thrived. I know a lot of your garden are seems to get a lot of dappled light from many trees, but I'd like to see your dahlia's grow faster in a sunny spot. ~Yosef
@@Yosef_Morrison I do have other Dahlias in full sun that seem to be thriving. These in the pots are from very small tubers and they do get 6+ hrs of sun each day. But I agree that if they don't do better, I can always move the pots
Hopefully you have some of your good garden dirt in those pots. I have found the garden center so-called potting soils to be worthless fluff. Not even Miracle Grow soil is what is used to be. I only use it as an organic amender to my soil for my potted plants.
Lost my beloved Driver at the end of March and this lost my desire to garden this year .. have no children so he was like my child. Spent four miserable days in Knoxville before I lost him.. so I said I would have to just enjoy Jeri’s flowers this year. Probably a good thing not to worry too much about it this year … with the lack of rain in our area ☔️! Cloudy and over cast here today .. so maybe we will get some rain! Where was the Lavender festival held ? I have never heard of it !! Hope to get back to Greenville next year to the Iris festival ! I do love Iris !
it's so painful to lose a wonderful companion that is much loved, I'm sorry. The heat has been a bit of a roadblock, but we did have those magnificent rainstorms in between. The Lavender Festival is always held in Oak Ridge, in the Historic Jackson Square.
From the minute this video started, until it finished, I was smiling. It's just perfect. That bench you made, just everything, perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
So beautiful!!! I am 68 and I garden and have many flower beds. I get a lot of inspiration from you, however, you have way more talent than I do! I may try to make a couple of the rabbit cutouts like yours. In a world that has gone crazy it is to nice to visit with you and see your gardens.
This was fun! We recently went on a week’s vacation and boy did I have a lot of work to do in the garden when we got back! I’m finally caught up. You continue to inspire me to try new things. I recently installed hoops over a couple raised vegetable beds. Right now I have them covered with shade cloth so I could grow more cool season vegetables. In the fall and spring I will cover them with plastic and extend the growing season. I hope to become a year round gardener here in zone 6. Thanks again for the inspiration!
Oh your cottage garden just looks lovely!!! You’ve done so much work! I need to take the plunge and dig up my irises too and remove way too many violets that have grown in between them. You did such a good job with your bench and trellis, and the brick pathway!!! Always love your videos and look forward to them. It was good to see you on there as well. You’re such a beautiful lady, and loved the way you had your hair. Thanks for all the inspiration! ❤️👩🌾🌻
You are always so kind Debbie; Thank you! Yes, get in there and dig up those iris,;when I split mine apart I had 3 times the plants and was able to spread them across the garden in many choice spots.
Hi Jeri, thank you so much for this video. What a lovely garden and how inspiring to see the transformation. I appreciate you taking us along on each stage, showing that a complete transformation is doable and that it's okay to take our time with it. Hope you are having a wonderful week! Angela
Your garden is coming along beautifully and comes by your very hard work. Cottage gardens I think are not perfect that’s what makes them beautiful. I love your floral garden. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for this lovely video! I´m starting a new garden, pretty much from scratch since I just bought a Swedish cottage with a huge garden. Basically a garden without any plants as of now. I decided to document the whole progress on my TH-cam channel 🙂 I need all the inspiration I can get!!
❤ Hi Jeri, I SO enjoy wandering around your garden with you! I can’t even imagine all the beauty that you experience! ALmighty God is SO incredibly good to you in providing the necessary strength and energies needed to take care of your awesome gardens! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful gift of old bricks, they are beautiful & I love moss as well. You surly have been working hard & your gardens are mesmerizing proof of your artistic ability. I just love your videos!
I love that you repurpose everything. Your bunny garden bench is so clever and s great addition to your garden spaces. And moving the plants that came up in your brick walkway is exactly what I would have done. I can’t throw away precious perennials. Your garden is such a treat! ♥️
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Thank you! We absolutely love Tennessee. We are from Washington State up in the temperate rain forests of Mnt Rainier and although I miss my Mossy Hollow gardens, home is where the heart it and my heart is here. I’m so thankful to the Lord for bringing us to this wonderful place and for showing me your channel. I have nothing but an acre of hard dry clay to work with surrounded by five acres of pine forest and various other trees I still need to learn the names of. I’m choosing to see it as a blank canvas and a grand adventure.
@@mossy_hollow_creations This is a great state! Are you east, west or Middle Tenn? We all have that clay, the good thing is it can be worked into beautiful soil with lots of Organic stuff. Have fun!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow - We’re smack in the middle of East TN! Tops on our list is getting some mulch and possibly topsoil to start working into certain areas - that and figuring out what sort of grass to plant - the rains lately are causing some erosion in places I’d rather not wash away so easily and need to get some grass started before the native weeds decide to show up.
Yup! So agree about most plants like a real good cutting! Even a climbing rose after many many years will get leggy.we cut ours back one year to paint the house and was gorgeous within 2years with tons of blooms!
I already posted here a few days ago, but Jeri, I just have to come back and tell you again how much I appreciate your videos. It's so brutally hot here and my "gardens," if I can even call them that, are heartbreaking this year. So, when I'm free to visit my favorite visual refreshment--peaceful and informative YT gardening videos--I always find myself coming back here to your channel. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Yours is the most genuinely decent channel IMO, and without the challenging visual (and often verbal) anti-Christian, anti-American, social or environmentalist propaganda. This is a place where I can just enjoy my viewing then walk away not feeling judged and I can still feel proud of being American. I love it here. So comfortable, so refreshing, so inspiring. Thank you again for all you give us of your time and talents. Thank you!! 🐞
I've got a few other gardens that are looking pretty weary, I'm just too hot and tired to go out and "fix" them. Thank you for your appreciation of my content. I will always stay true to our country and our Lord on this channel. It is so nice to have fellow travelers such as you!
HI Jerri. I love your garden videos. One tip I would like to give you that I use. Instead of buckets for weeds I use one of those hard plastic toddler pools. It stores easy on a wall and holds buckets of weeds and is easy to drag. Take care.
Always wonderful to see your creations. I do hope you accomplished all before the extreme heat came to stay. Here in south Arkansas, we have drought, no rain for 2 months, try to water but one can not water enough as the humidity sucks it right out. Temperatures are over 100 each day with high heat indexes and only about 90 at night. I have azaleas dying that are many years old as I cannot get water to them. Yet, I do not despair, there will be another season and hope to be able to recreate areas closer to the house that can get water to them. Making notes of ideas I always come away with from your videos. Thanks so much for sharing. Rest a while "). In Joy
I loved the wonderfull transformation of your garden. Such a lovely walk with the chickens. I too moved back home an enjoy digging up over a hundred year old brick and flagstone for my garden pathways. I will continue to follow you.
Oh I just love your videos Jeri, so peaceful and calming. Your garden is so beautiful and hearing the wildlife in the background and the peacock (reminds me of our farm and our peacocks!) makes me want to sit in your garden and drink tea! I hurt my back recently so no gardening for me for the last week, and seeing your garden has filled that void. Thankyou so much for sharing this beautiful place with us.
Love how you recycle so much from bricks to wood ! Your helpers from chicken to Pyrenees are the best. Your home is such a cozy sanctuary ❤️ Thank you for sharing.
Oh Jeri, what a feast for the eyes that you have blessed us with this week! I have been hoping for a longer video, and am so satisfied! So much inspiration I get from you and your beautiful gardens! Here is Missouri it is so incredibly dry, so it's hard to have a pretty garden at the moment. Your pets and animals are always so sweet to see, and your "new girls" are surely gifts from God! That is so funny that they just came out of nowhere! I always enjoy seeing your restorations, your walkways, your garden art-the statues, figures and pots. I like your big red pots, I saw some just like those this morning at Tuesday morning! And how fun to see how you create your wonderful rabbit topped gate! Perfect for your property name. Looking forward to peeping into your potting shed next time! Thankyou for this wonderful video, I appreciate you and the time you spend creating these videos for us to admire! Sending love and hugs, Gina
I found those big red pots at Lowes and I KNEW the garden needed that huge color contrast, love those pots. And then the red chickens came along and wow! more color in the garden!
I had very much the same garden to deal with. When we bought this house and garden in the South Island of New Zealand, I put my everything into designing this garden and developing it into what it is now. I have recorded progress along the way and shared with my Facebook and instagram followers. Now, I have started a channel here on TH-cam as now I am editing the garden yet again.🤣 It is so nice to see somebody else on here that has started from grass roots. Awesome job! Look forward to seeing more. 🙏
I have really enjoyed your video of you garden! I am recovering from back surgery, so it gives me hope that the garden can be salvaged. I go and sit on the ground at times and weed for a few minutes early in the mornings. I like that you have a lot of shade and repurpose things and use what you have. I have hope in the future of my shadier spots. Definitely like bluebells also and the animals.
What a beautiful restoration. I love the old brick path and the "new" sitting bench. What a fantastic place to enjoy the rewards of all your hard work. As you enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of iced tea in the afternoon. ENJOY!
Miss Jeri, I had the same thing happen with some cone flowers here in North Georgia. I think they were burgundy originally but came up green with clusters of little green flowers. We sold that house a year ago and I’m starting over with three small flower beds at our new place. I appreciate it took you weeks to get your project done but you persevered. I’m learning patience since I can’t do what I used to.
Isn't it just the strangest coneflower!? This one has been blooming in this same manner for 3 years, and I remember purchasing it because of its very odd self as an Emerald Jewel.
You give me so much inspiration! Particularly the flower support board. If you could make a video of the ways you make the supports. Love your gardens.
Wow Jeri, so inspirational. Thank-you for sharing your lovely space with us & being willing to take us along on your hardworking journey to restore order, peace & beauty to your garden…💕🌸🌿What a big job! It looks fantastic & I bet it feels amazing to look back & see how far you’ve come!☺️
The hummingbird moth was really interesting, I’ve never seen those before. Your new garden is truly beautiful and peaceful. I am amazed at your ideas and creativity. God has given you many talents🥰
Thankyou jeri, everything in your beautiful gardens just such an inspiration, I as always love to see the maidens here and there,,you have worked so hard its so very cottage beautiful,,just whats needed on a tea break to watch and see all the lovely beauty jeri,hearing all the sounds s of the peacock s snd maidens and birds ect ect,,you have such a calm and comforting voice also.xxthankyou until next time,,will share this with my dear friend she live over 3 hours away from me, she just lives to see flowers 💐. God bless you 🙏. Xxbe safe all you maidens, xxhesther from South west, 🇬🇧
Oh I got excited when I saw a 30 minute video 😊 it all looks so perfectly imperfect and I love the bench 😍 Thank you for always being such a positive inspiration ❤️❤️ xx
I enjoyed seeing more of your yard. It's like a most tranquil park with the shade and trees. I can picture many happy picnics held on cherished hand-me-down wedding ring quilts, quiet conversations and contemplative moments happening on those luscious grounds. The bench you created is absolutely adorable and I loved seeing the delicate teacup and saucer on the bench next to the tools. They felt like a visual representation of who you are: able to take on and tackle tough lots of jobs but fine and delicate, too. This was a joy to watch. (I watched with my cats nearby and they were going crazy trying to find all the birds they were hearing in your video!)
It's also a lovely lawn for croquet. I love your poetic description. My husband had to go back on the video to see that teacup sitting there with the tools!
So grateful for this video Jeri. It seems like the world has gotten uglier this summer and to see such beauty in your garden and hear your calming voice has been so helpful. Now it is time for some tea 🫖 💜
Our gardens are the perfect place to forget the ugliness around us! 😊
I love visiting your perfectly imperfect gardens. Your bunny bench is adorable. Your videos are like a ray of sunshine on a dreary day. Thanks for everything you do, your ideas and hard work are very appreciated!🌻
You are such an inspiration to keep working on things that "work" and moving things that do not. Thank you.
Every plant deserves a second chance and it usually turns out well.
I just love your cottage garden, and the chickens and peacocks that just roam around.
Jeri, how wonderful. You’ve done a fabulous job on renewing that garden. Your rabbit seat is especially clever and the reworked trellis. Everything!
I hardly ever comment on social media, but just have to say how amazing I think k you are. Geez building things and working hard on garden Reno. Such an inspiration. 🥰
Thankyou!
What a talented woman you are. Love how kind you are to your animals and the care you give everything.
we love our little critters!

Thank you Jeri. Your energy and dedication to the land is immeasurable !!! You continue to show us that with determination and a cup of tea now and then we also can do it!!! Hugs
That saying about eating an elephant comes to mind. lol It's the same in my garden, sometimes spaces get neglected for awhile, but with some elbow grease it's new again. It looks wonderful Jeri and I love the bench. Those are my kind of projects, re-working what I have and thrifting things that need a little TLC before adding to the garden. I have several areas in my garden where I took pebbles that a spring flood left behind to create pathways with. Right now with the summer humidity here in the South I work at it in short spurts. I love mimosa trees, we have a couple along our creek. The veg garden is keeping me busy indoors of late, canning, freezing and dehydrating produce. Always a pleasure to visit with you in your garden. Happy gardening!
I love the sound of your pebble path....
34 minutes of pure pleasure and relaxation. Thank you for spending time with us. So enjoy seeing your garden progress. Your voice soothes the edges off a long day. Happy gardening. It shows how much you love doing this, a piece of garden heaven😊❤️❤️❤️
Very nice to have you here!
You are a seriously talented lady, an inspiration to all of us not to mention the stamina it takes to work in this horrible heat we have been having this summer.
Love the bench!
Jeri, this was a great video I get the feeling of being there visiting your garden. I really like what you did with the lattice. Especially the open slots at the top. And love your bench. Gives a finished look with a view beyond. I appreciate your hard work. I struggle to keep up with my garden, old body aches and pains. You inspire me to continue.

A lovely new garden! How can 1 person have so much natural talent while I have none? You do inspire me to try to be creative. Tyfs.
Please do!
Thank you for taking us into this garden - really lovely!
I want a bench like that! And first time seeing the fence so cute❤️I see me putting a swing in that beautiful shady back there🦚
OMG, are you soooooooo talented with tools and inspo!!! I wondered where you have been, I was worried 😟. So glad you are okay!
I loved the wonderfull transformation of your garden. Such a lovely walk with the chickens. I too moved back home an enjoy digging up over a hundred year old brick and flagstone for my garden pathways. I will continue to follow you.
How nice to have a source for the old brick and stone.
OMGoodness I get to see you cut the bunnies on the fence. I am super excited to see this wonderful video. I have learned so much from you this year. 🥰
So very good to hear that!
Thank you Jeri -- you made another stress reducer video.
So lovely Jeri. I love the seating bench. You're such an awesome inspiration. Love your videos 😻❤️😻.
Never heard of a humming bird moth! Love your gardens. Appreciate your hard work and artistry.
Isn't he just the coolest moth?!
Oh I just love your videos Jeri, so peaceful and calming. Your garden is so beautiful and hearing the wildlife in the background and the peacock (reminds me of our farm and our peacocks!) makes me want to sit in your garden and drink tea! I hurt my back recently so no gardening for me for the last week, and seeing your garden has filled that void. Thankyou so much for sharing this beautiful place with us.
Wow, so beautiful! Thanks for sharing such loveliness.
so beatiful🥰🥰🥰
Love how you recycle so much from bricks to wood ! Your helpers from chicken to Pyrenees are the best. Your home is such a cozy sanctuary ❤️ Thank you for sharing.
Oh Jeri, what a feast for the eyes that you have blessed us with this week! I have been hoping for a longer video, and am so satisfied! So much inspiration I get from you and your beautiful gardens! Here is Missouri it is so incredibly dry, so it's hard to have a pretty garden at the moment. Your pets and animals are always so sweet to see, and your "new girls" are surely gifts from God! That is so funny that they just came out of nowhere! I always enjoy seeing your restorations, your walkways, your garden art-the statues, figures and pots. I like your big red pots, I saw some just like those this morning at Tuesday morning! And how fun to see how you create your wonderful rabbit topped gate! Perfect for your property name. Looking forward to peeping into your potting shed next time! Thankyou for this wonderful video, I appreciate you and the time you spend creating these videos for us to admire!
Sending love and hugs,
Gina
I found those big red pots at Lowes and I KNEW the garden needed that huge color contrast, love those pots. And then the red chickens came along and wow! more color in the garden!
Beautiful. Looks like an enchanted cottage and garden.
Ooh, I like that!
So beautiful! What a great job! That was a big job!
What a wonderful video - that humming bird moth was just enchanting! 😊🌻
Creative and enjoyable!! 🥰🪴🍀🌼
I had very much the same garden to deal with. When we bought this house and garden in the South Island of New Zealand, I put my everything into designing this garden and developing it into what it is now. I have recorded progress along the way and shared with my Facebook and instagram followers. Now, I have started a channel here on TH-cam as now I am editing the garden yet again.🤣
It is so nice to see somebody else on here that has started from grass roots. Awesome job! Look forward to seeing more. 🙏
I have really enjoyed your video of you garden! I am recovering from back surgery, so it gives me hope that the garden can be salvaged. I go and sit on the ground at times and weed for a few minutes early in the mornings. I like that you have a lot of shade and repurpose things and use what you have. I have hope in the future of my shadier spots. Definitely like bluebells also and the animals.
Thank you Jeri .I love you the garden and you videos. 💖
What a beautiful restoration. I love the old brick path and the "new" sitting bench. What a fantastic place to enjoy the rewards of all your hard work. As you enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of iced tea in the afternoon. ENJOY!
Love, love, love it. Nice to see you on camera as well Miss Jeri.
Love watching your videos so calming and loved the bench ,your gardens have so much character ❤️
Miss Jeri, I had the same thing happen with some cone flowers here in North Georgia. I think they were burgundy originally but came up green with clusters of little green flowers. We sold that house a year ago and I’m starting over with three small flower beds at our new place. I appreciate it took you weeks to get your project done but you persevered. I’m learning patience since I can’t do what I used to.
Isn't it just the strangest coneflower!? This one has been blooming in this same manner for 3 years, and I remember purchasing it because of its very odd self as an Emerald Jewel.
Very beautiful garden! And love the rabbit design bench. New found chickens!👏💗
You give me so much inspiration! Particularly the flower support board. If you could make a video of the ways you make the supports. Love your gardens.
What a beautiful space. I love the chickens and cat and old dog as you work , just hanging out. I really loved the fence so cute.
CUTE, someone dropped them off, and how nice for you and for them
Wow Jeri, so inspirational. Thank-you for sharing your lovely space with us & being willing to take us along on your hardworking journey to restore order, peace & beauty to your garden…💕🌸🌿What a big job! It looks fantastic & I bet it feels amazing to look back & see how far you’ve come!☺️
Feels good, I just wish I was finished.... still have more messes to clean up.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow ….just remember…a good garden is never finished.😉
The gardens are beautiful and the fence exquisite!! The bench is amazing.
The hummingbird moth was really interesting, I’ve never seen those before. Your new garden is truly beautiful and peaceful. I am amazed at your ideas and creativity. God has given you many talents🥰

The Maidens are truly garden lovers, they spend most of the day poking around the plants.
Beautiful colours and you sure are a hard worker. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the idea of the cutouts (rabbits) of the fencing.
The beautiful life of a gardener
Oh I got excited when I saw a 30 minute video 😊 it all looks so perfectly imperfect and I love the bench 😍 Thank you for always being such a positive inspiration ❤️❤️ xx
I enjoyed seeing more of your yard. It's like a most tranquil park with the shade and trees. I can picture many happy picnics held on cherished hand-me-down wedding ring quilts, quiet conversations and contemplative moments happening on those luscious grounds. The bench you created is absolutely adorable and I loved seeing the delicate teacup and saucer on the bench next to the tools. They felt like a visual representation of who you are: able to take on and tackle tough lots of jobs but fine and delicate, too. This was a joy to watch. (I watched with my cats nearby and they were going crazy trying to find all the birds they were hearing in your video!)
It's also a lovely lawn for croquet. I love your poetic description.
My husband had to go back on the video to see that teacup sitting there with the tools!
