🌿🍂 **MY WOODLAND GARDEN: THE GOOD, THE BAD & WHAT'S NEXT!**

Friends, you know what I always say... there are MESSES and SUCCESSES in every garden!

And our woodland garden beside the pond is certainly no exception! 😂

We've been developing this space for nearly two years, and today I'm taking you through the garden to show you exactly what's working, what's struggling, and what we have planned next!

Y'all, this is a challenging garden!

We have NO irrigation, a hillside, areas of dry shade, and other areas where natural springs keep the soil moist almost year-round.

And that means finding the RIGHT plant for the RIGHT spot is so important!

🌸 **THE SUCCESSES!**

Our Japanese maples and Fairytrail Bride hydrangeas are doing beautifully!

The hellebores are getting established, our Christmas ferns are happy, and the Florida Sunshine illiciums are absolutely loving their location!

And y'all... the Fall Festival camellia is BLOOMING its little heart out! 😍

Plus, the High Five Green Fingers fatsia has completely exceeded my expectations!

🌿 **THE CHALLENGES!**

Some of our newer plants need a good drink after this dry stretch.

We're still watching the Robin's plantain to see whether we've found its happy place.

And then there's the pulmonaria...

SOMETHING is eating it, and I still cannot figure out what! 😂

The hostas are fine. The heucheras are fine. But the pulmonaria? Apparently, it's on somebody's dinner menu!

🪨 **WHAT'S NEXT?**

We're planning beautiful blue granite steps connecting the woodland garden to the old logging road, natural pathways, expanded planting beds along the pond, and more peaceful places to sit and enjoy this beautiful area.

And of course, MORE PLANTS!

I love sharing these honest garden updates because gardening is a journey. We try things, we learn, we make adjustments, and we keep growing!

**Tell me, friends: What's been your biggest gardening SUCCESS this year? And what's been your biggest MESS?** 💚

🚜🌿 **WE'RE MOVING OUR ENTRANCE GATE?!**

Friends, the BIG projects just keep coming here at Creekside! 😂

We JUST finished our two 70-foot retaining walls and four columns, and now Jerry and the crew are tackling something we've been talking about for a while...

**A GRAND NEW ENTRANCE TO CREEKSIDE!** 🙌🏻

And y'all, we're not just adding a few plants and calling it a day!

We're MOVING our existing entrance gate, extending the fencing along the property line, and preparing to create a beautiful new landscaped berm!

Eventually, this area will be filled with gorgeous trees, shrubs, and plants that will create a welcoming entrance and provide some beautiful screening.

But FIRST, there's a whole lot of work to be done!

🚜 Bringing in the CAT excavator and equipment.

🔨 Removing the old fence and gate posts.

📏 Preparing and leveling the new gate location.

🪨 Setting the new gate posts in concrete.

🌿 Beginning to bring in soil for the future landscaped berm.

And, of course, Jerry and the crew are making it all happen!

By the end of the day, the new gate posts are set, and we're one big step closer to seeing this vision come to life!

Now we have to let that concrete cure before hanging the heavy gate, but y'all, the progress is already exciting!

This is just the BEGINNING of the entrance transformation, and we cannot wait to bring you along as it develops!

🌸😍 **I PUT A CAMELLIA IN MY WINTER CONTAINER… AND LOOK AT THIS!**

Friends, we're finally saying goodbye to summer and hello to FALL here at Creekside!

Our beautiful Surefire Cherry Cordial begonias have been absolutely fantastic all summer long, but it's time to give our Esplanade urns a completely new look for fall and winter.

And y'all, we're doing something a little DIFFERENT!

**WE'RE USING CAMELLIAS AS OUR CENTERPIECES!** 🌸

That's right! Instead of traditional seasonal flowers, we're combining beautiful evergreen shrubs, colorful perennials, and gorgeous foliage to create something completely unique.

Here's what we're planting:

🤍 **Nuccio's Gem Camellia** — glossy evergreen foliage and beautiful double white flowers later in the season!

💕 **Crystal Pink Flowering Kale** — gorgeous color and texture.

💜 **Berry Smoothie Heuchera** — rich foliage that looks beautiful against the camellia.

🌿 **Tricolor & Purple Sage** — unexpected pops of color and texture.

🌱 **Asparagus Fern** — soft, flowing foliage that adds movement to the arrangement.

And here's something I absolutely LOVE about using shrubs and perennials in seasonal containers...

When we're ready to change things up again, we can move those camellias into larger pots or plant them directly in the garden!

Now, are these your typical fall containers? Absolutely not! 😂

But that's what makes gardening so much fun!

Sometimes you have to throw the traditional rules out the window and just create something that makes YOU happy.

And if you've ever wondered what it's like to garden with me in real life, you're getting the full experience today! We're making decisions, changing our minds, moving plants around, and trusting the process as we go. 😂

Because there's grace in gardening, friends!

🌿🍂 **DON'T WAIT UNTIL SPRING! THESE PLANTS NEED TO GO IN NOW!**

Friends, I know we say this over and over again, but FALL is one of the BEST times to add new plants to your garden!

Why?

Because the soil is still warm, the air temperatures are cooler, and those roots have time to get established before next summer's heat arrives!

And y'all, we have SO many gorgeous plants at Creekside right now!

🌸 **Perfecto Mundo Azaleas** — beautiful reblooming azaleas in pink, fuchsia, white, and red!

💛 **Ripple Effect Summersweet** — a fragrant native shrub that attracts pollinators and turns a brilliant yellow in fall!

💛 **Arctic Fire Yellow-Twig Dogwood** — gorgeous bright yellow stems that really shine during the winter months!

🌲 **Whip It Good Arborvitae** — beautiful evergreen structure for year-round interest!

💕 **Fire Light Tidbit Hydrangea** — compact panicle hydrangeas with gorgeous pink and mauve fall flowers!

💙 **Let's Dance Sky View Hydrangea** — beautiful repeat blooms and stunning flower colors!

🌾 **Cheyenne Sky Panicum** — gorgeous fall color and movement in the garden!

🌼 **Pansies, Violas & Cardoon** — beautiful cool-season color for containers and garden beds!

And here's something I especially want my Southern gardening friends to remember...

**NOW is the time to plant your hydrangeas!**

I'd much rather plant a hydrangea in October or November than try to get one established in the middle of June when our heat and humidity are in full force!

Whether you're looking for gorgeous blooms, colorful foliage, evergreen structure, or winter interest, there are so many wonderful plants to add to your garden right now!

🌿💚 **I HAD ONE HOUR TO GARDEN… AND BOY, DID I NEED IT!**

Friends, sometimes life just has a way of *lifing*, doesn't it? 😂

Today was one of those days when I needed to get outside, get my hands in the dirt, and enjoy a little garden therapy.

I only had about an hour before my next meeting, but I was determined to make the most of it!

And y'all, what a difference a little time outside can make!

🍂 We removed the tired caladiums and did some selective fall garden cleanup.

✂️ I cut back my Sun King aralia and tidied up a few perennials that were looking a little rough.

🌿 We created a beautiful EVERGREEN winter shade container underneath my kitchen window!

And this is where things get fun!

We're using a combination of:

🌲 Native Christmas fern

🤍 Sahara Tasmanian Tiger spurge

🌿 Running Tapestry tiarella

🌸 Two beautiful Ice N' Roses hellebores that will give us gorgeous flowers later this winter!

And here's the best part...

**EVERY SINGLE ONE of these plants can go into the garden next spring!**

We're getting beautiful winter interest now AND investing in plants we can enjoy for years to come!

Is the container a showstopper today? Not quite! 😂

But I have a vision, and sometimes gardening is all about trusting the process.

More than anything, I hope this video reminds you that you don't need an entire day to enjoy your garden.

Sometimes all you need is ONE HOUR.

And if you don't even have that? Just step outside for five minutes, put your phone away, breathe in some fresh air, and enjoy the beauty around you.

Sometimes that's exactly what our hearts and minds need. 💚

🌸😍 **I FINALLY GOT MY HANDS ON THESE NEW HYDRANGEAS!**

Friends, have y'all seen the buzz about the brand-new GROUNDBREAKER HYDRANGEAS?!

I have been so excited to try these little beauties, and today we're planting FOUR of them in our Umbrella Pine Garden!

And here's what makes them so special...

**THEY'RE GROUNDCOVER HYDRANGEAS!** 🤯

Unlike traditional panicle hydrangeas, these compact beauties are expected to grow only about 12–18 inches tall and spread up to 3 feet wide!

Can you imagine a beautiful mass of low-growing hydrangeas covered in flowers?!

We're planting two different colors:

💕 **Groundbreaker Blush**

❤️ **Groundbreaker Ruby**

We're alternating them along the front of the garden, and I cannot WAIT to see how they grow together!

But before we can plant, we've got some work to do!

🍂 We're giving our Umbrella Pine Garden a much-needed fall reset.

✂️ Removing tired gomphrena and cleaning up salvia.

🌿 Saying goodbye to perennial sedums that simply haven't performed well in our North Carolina heat, humidity, and clay soil.

🌸 Celebrating Peach Pearl Agastache, which has been one of my BIGGEST plant surprises this year!

And y'all, did I mention we're doing all of this in RECORD-BREAKING OCTOBER HEAT?! 🥵

There's never a dull moment in the garden!

A special thank-you to Garden Media Group for sending us these Groundbreaker Hydrangeas to trial in our gardens.

🚜😂 **ONE GARDEN IS ALMOST DONE… AND JERRY HAS ANOTHER BIG PLAN!**

Friends, I don't know why I'm ever surprised anymore! 😂

We're SO CLOSE to finishing our gorgeous new retaining wall garden at Creekside, and what does Jerry announce?

**WE'RE STARTING ANOTHER MAJOR PROJECT!** 😳

And apparently, we're starting it TOMORROW! This was news to me!

Today we're bringing y'all along for a fun update on everything happening around Creekside.

🌷 **THE NEW RETAINING WALL GARDEN:** Our beautiful Belgard stone walls are almost complete! We've added columns, drainage systems, and landscape lighting, and this spring the entire garden will be filled with HUNDREDS of tulips!

🌳 **THE NEXT BIG PROJECT:** We're moving our entrance gate and fence, improving access for our delivery trucks, and creating an entirely NEW garden space!

And when I say new garden space, I mean BIG! We're planning a beautiful sweeping berm with trees, evergreens, shrubs, and plenty of room for future plantings.

🚜 **OUR NEW TOY:** We've added an electric utility cart to the nursery, and the entire team is having the BEST time with it! It's making it so much easier to help customers transport plants and soil amendments to their vehicles.

And of course, we're talking about why FALL is such a fantastic time to plant trees and shrubs here in the South! 🍂

I am so excited about these projects, even if Jerry does have a habit of announcing them before I know we're starting! 😂

Come along and see what's happening at Creekside!

🍂💚 **MY GARDEN HAD A ROUGH YEAR… BUT LOOK AT THESE PLANTS!**

Friends, 2026 has been one for the books, and our gardens have certainly felt it!

We've dealt with some CRAZY weather here in North Carolina, and if I'm being completely honest, my gardens don't look anything like they typically do in late October.

Some plants have struggled. Some have surprised me. And some have absolutely SHINED! 🌸

So today, instead of focusing on everything that needs attention, we're taking a little walk through the gardens and celebrating the BEAUTY that's still here!

💛 Gorgeous golden Princeton Sentry ginkgo

🧡 Vermillionaire cuphea absolutely covered in blooms

🤍 Luscious Vanilla Breeze lantana that has exceeded my expectations

🌼 Beautiful Durango Outback Mix marigolds

🌸 Moonshadow camellias and Autumn Twist Encore azaleas

💛 Pot of Gold lantana

💕 Fire Light Tidbit hydrangeas showing off beautiful fall color

And we're sharing some really interesting lessons about why the SAME hydrangea can look completely different depending on where it's planted!

But this video is about more than just plants.

Sometimes life, much like our gardens, doesn't turn out the way we expected.

And sometimes we have to intentionally look for the beauty and blessings right in front of us.

**Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your garden. And be kind to one another.** 💚

I hope today's video brings you a little encouragement and reminds you that even in an imperfect season, there's still so much beauty to be found.
