The Baywatch star, who returned to her family’s longtime estate on Vancouver Island in 2020, recently shared a glimpse of her home and life in The Great White North in an Instagram video.

Next, she sits down to read Amor and Psyche: The Psychic Development of the Feminine, telling the camera, “I’ve read this book so many times.” The Last Showgirl star’s post included several short clips of her blooming flowers, including bright pink and light orange roses.

As she captures a panoramic video of the garden, she shares how it had just rained, noting she loves the “garden after it’s rained.” A brief selfie video of her enormous pine tree and a video of her walking along a lake dock round out her soft morning.

In addition to her video, Anderson shared Instagram Stories of the wild ground cherries she picked from her garden and a look at her Wild Groundcherry Basic Balm, which she developed in collaboration with Sonsie.

Anderson spoke to PEOPLE in October about the collaboration and opened up about the “grounding” effects her garden has on her. “I get home with my dogs and I get in the garden and I start throwing them vegetables through the fence. And just slowly I come back down to earth. It takes me a couple days.”

“I feel like a little kid in the garden because the things I planted from little seeds are huge,” she added. “You get a few nicks here and there from my clippers, but you can’t walk away from the garden without feeling inspired.”

But the garden wasn’t always as green and blooming as it is today. “It was decayed and rotten to the ground. I lived in another little house on the beach that I had that was livable,” she told Better Homes & Gardens in September 2024. “I mean, you should see the before pictures.”

She told the outlet that the property was once a motel owned by her grandmother — where she was brought home from the hospital when she was born — and she ultimately reached a moment in her life when she wanted to “move home and disappear and get into [her] garden.”

She added that expanding the patch was “really like a metaphor of putting my life back together,” where “the smallest things became really profound.”
