Hollywood star Pamela Anderson furnished a house on the coast of Vancouver Island, Canada, with a Provencal-style fry garden.

“I walk barefoot, mow the lawn with my hands, can the vegetables. I’m just trying to keep an eye on the stool. This amazing and generous place keeps me in good shape better than exercise,” says Pamela Anderson about her home at the Canadian the town of Ladysmith on Vancouver Island. The career of a 58-year-old actor is back on the rise: born in 2023, Anderson became the heroine of the Netflix documentary “Pamela, the Story of a Cohanna,” played in the iconic Broadway musical “Chicago,” and featured in an advertising campaign. Jacquemus spring-summer 2023 and Proenza Schouler spring-summer 2024, received praise and a Golden Globe nomination and a Screen Actors Guild nomination for the leading role in the leading drama of Jia Coppoli “Ostannya showgirl.” She published a memoir, “With Love, Pamela,” which became a New York Times bestseller, and a vegan cookbook, “I Love You,” about sharing her favorite homeland recipes. A lot of the fate of the series “Royals of Malibu” felt ruined and did not understand how to give the joy of its career. In order to rethink her life's prospects, she turned to her roots – literally: she began to take care of her family's garden, after her childhood had passed.
Today there is an area of three hectares with the apt name “Arcadia” (“This means a calm place where joy and happiness can be heard,” Pamela explains), the growth of fluffy Trojans, miniature Physalis, a number of varieties of dandelion and a bloom of arable herbs. Since the mothers were lying there, Pem’s fathers lived there after their friendship, and the blue actors Brandon and Dylan made their first lives here. For Anderson herself, “Arcadia” is “home, where everything has fallen into place. A new chapter of my life has begun in this garden.”
There was a lot of work involved in clearing out the home nest. How many people have had the opportunity to replace the forgery and then pay it off. Returning home became a period of renewal for both the 100-person entity and the actor. “I wanted to honestly marvel at myself, to figure out who I am and what I want, to stand up to those who impose their image on me,” says Anderson. Vaughn got busy with the garden, and when she tore her head down from the restoration of the head unit, new work-related propositions suddenly rained down on the actress. They were initially asked to play on Broadway (she always dreamed about the theater), and then to star in “The Last Showgirl” (Anderson won the dramatic role of a dancer from Las Vegas, whose show after the rich rocks of Raptovo closes). “I’m good enough to follow the current,” she says, “and the remaining fates have become the shortest period of my life.”
“I am a romantic gardener. I don’t like order and straight lines. I break the rules with my chimerical zest.”
Andeson learned the sweet connection from the earth from her childhood: little Pem just woke up from the bush and picked apples from the orchard trees. Returning to “Arcadia” revived the situation – she decided to turn the closed plot into a marvelous garden. “You can quickly grow new plants, change crops,” I learned a lot about this. And then I realized that the garden is a metaphor: I can also work from a rich life.”
Over six years of gardening, Anderson has learned to get along with the soil. “I write with my erysipelas Yves Piaget trojans with wiggling pellets, with a strong hand I pick the thorn and pour oil from it for exposure, which I add to various cosmetic features. My beloved homemade tomatoes: choke I am preparing this day for the new season, – my homeland is growing this kind of life.” In order to secure the city from the deer, it was necessary to build a fence, and so the blues got to work. After the replanning, the territory appeared much larger, the actress thought. “Having harvested the harvest, we can please a lot of people – we can host our neighbors, relatives and friends, donate vegetable fruits to those in need, church parishes.”
“The beetroot, radish and lettuce have recently ripened,” Pamela proudly reveals. “I missed this moment at work, and my mother told me to give birth. As if I wanted to be there!” Knowing that she can talk about her homeland, Anderson even quiets down: “I repaired the mothers and moved my mother and father to one of the little houses – the same one where they became friends and began living together. This was my secret plan, Just like 30 years ago, I bought this little plot from my grandmother. I knew: if the dads get older and need my help, I’ll bring them here – I’ll be in charge, otherwise it’s not necessary.”
Blues share their mother's passion for gardening. 29-year-old Brandon has laid out the plan for the garden, painted the schedules of the city's work, installed the gardeners and signs for the growths, and the 27-year-old Dylan, in the words of the actor, has a garnish taste and is able to bring the right to detail. Anderson's arsenal includes a plethora of gardening tools: every gardener has a set of pruning shears and working gloves, and she regards Hunter's humid care as a necessity rather than a fashionable accessory. The drops in the sun came from the middle of speeches in the basement: “I remember how I showed it to the guys, and howling: “Here are the drops!” So I cleaned it and wear it hour after hour in the city. You can’t blame me.”
Vaughn loves books and shows about gardening by British TV presenter Monty Don: “You’ve been writing about gardens so poetically ever since.” They breathe and are expensive: “I am impressed by the scale and beauty of the Versailles gardens, and children know a lot about Japanese gardening. bonsai, having traveled all over the world.” In Anderson’s homeland, everyone is full of mayorism, but in every way – their own style: “I am a romantic gardener, like an actor. I don’t like order and straight lines. “I think my garden can be described as a “Provencal style”: the flowers, grass and vegetables grow harmoniously. I combine the rules of gardening with my own chimerical tricks.”
It seems that in this garden it is not an agrarian project, but rather a special space: “It is fitting for me to work with my hands – these are the things that connect me with my essence.” With the work above him, as they have sunk in life, Anderson allows himself to be humbled, but then collapses forward. “Even if we were the perfect gardeners, the smut lies not in us, but in the soil, water and sun. These are the simplest and most important speeches at the moment.”
