Chelsea Meissner’s “little slice of heaven” might get a long-awaited upgrade.
The Southern Charm alum returned to Instagram this week to answer a few fan-submitted questions about her career, beauty regimen, family life, and Charleston home. One of the inquiries was about Chelsea’s outdoor space and whether it included a proper vegetable garden. The former Southern Charm-er confirmed she planted some seeds this year, but would’ve preferred to do more.
“The only thing I grew this year was tomatoes and herbs,” she replied in the October 14 Q&A. “One day i’ll get my dream garden going.”

Chelsea shared the update nearly six months after dropping a backyard tour. The mother of one posted a video in which she showed off her incredible in-ground pool, archery setup, next-level chicken coop, and herb garden.
“Martha Stewart once said, ‘If you want to be happy for a year, get married. If you want to be happy for a decade, get a dog. And if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, make a garden,’” she captioned the April 16 Reel. “Until I find a cowboy, I guess fresh tomatoes and chickens will do. Also, no animals were harmed in the making of this video so relax.. I just enjoy a little backyard archery.”

“I feel complete with one child and I’m sure our circumstances are different, but I’ve never met a mother who regrets having more children and I’m so thankful for my siblings,” she explained.
