Fixer Upper star, decor trendsetter, and interior designer extraordinaire Joanna Gaines is an expert on much more than just flipping houses: The design queen has also created one of the most wistfully gorgeous gardens at her home in Texas, and we can’t help but be a bit jealous.

Gaines posted a video on Instagram of her garden with the caption: “We loved coming home from the snow to see the garden in full bloom! Here’s a look inside the garden and all that’s blooming this early Spring season on the farm.”

She wrote that some of her favorite blooms from this year are her tulips, ranunculus, anemones, pear tree, and weeping cherry willow. Her youngest son—who makes an appearance in the video dashing between the flowers, climbing the trees, smelling the floral arrangements, and searching for butterflies—seems to love them all, too. The video doesn’t have any additional music layered on top, so you can hear the birds chirping and the wind swaying the trees for the full garden experience.

If you’re looking for a flower that blooms beautifully but is also beginner gardener–friendly, tulips are an excellent choice. They’re probably the easiest to grow of the blooms Gaines listed because they’re relatively low-maintenance and can thrive in a variety of climates, as long as they’re planted in well-drained soil and receive adequate sunlight.

Ranunculus and anemones can be slightly more challenging to grow compared to tulips, as they have specific requirements regarding soil, moisture, and temperature, but they’re still not too difficult. And with all of those beautiful, folding petals, how could you not be obsessed with these flowers? In another video posted to Instagram, Gaines shows just how spectacular these blooms can look in a flower arrangement: “In case you needed a pretty reminder to plant a garden this year.”

Pear trees and weeping cherry willows are happy and beautiful blooms to keep in your yard, but they’re definitely not ideal for a patio garden. Because they’re so much larger, they require more space and care than bulbs like tulips, ranunculus, and anemones. They also need well-prepared soil, regular watering, pruning, and attention to pests and diseases. All the while, they can be so rewarding to grow.

While it’s a great time to start giving your flowers some love, don’t forget that as seasons change, you can keep those garden blooms around just like Gaines does: by drying or pressing them to keep them around far past their bloom.
