Hi, I'm Helen. For more than two decades I've been planting, pulling out, and replanting in my own front yard, figuring out what actually works. This channel is everything I learned the hard way. If you're tired of replacing plants that didn't survive winter and walking out of garden centers with a cart full of regret, you've found the right place. I help American homeowners in their 40s, 50s, and beyond build beautiful, low-maintenance gardens that look intentional all year, without punishing you for it. What we cover: • Perennials that earn their place: named varieties, real USDA zones, honest care expectations • Curb appeal that compounds: layered planting that gets better every year • The mistakes that cost real money and how to avoid them • Buy once, plant smart: how to stop the replacement cycle Beautiful gardens aren't about back-breaking work. They're about knowing which plants belong where. New videos three times a week. Welcome to Helen's Front Yard.
