In 2018, Eric and Christopher Feml-Nelson embarked on an epic gardening adventure on their half-acre suburban lot. With zero gardening experience but a big dream, they took one look at their bland landscape and decided it was time for a makeover. What started with a few trips to local garden centers quickly turned into a passionate journey of discovery and growth, fueled by the magic of YouTube gardeners. Fast forward six years, and their garden has blossomed into a stunning oasis, brimming with specimen trees, over 170 hydrangeas, nearly 100 roses, and a diverse collection of shrubs, perennials, and evergreens.

Documenting their journey, they share their triumphs and trials on Instagram @growingformegardening and YouTube @GrowForMeGardening, inspiring and educating fellow gardening enthusiasts.
