Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Reveal ‘Over the Top’ New Farm Project: ‘It’s Just Overwhelming’

When Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani aren’t busy writing and singing songs together, they are spending time tending to their latest collaborative project — a beautiful garden.

In a new Instagram story posted on Stefani’s page on Friday, Sept. 12, the married couple revealed they are in the beginning processes of creating a purple iris garden, which has been years in the making.

“Me + Blake started our purple iris garden project today. Day 1…more updates soon. Gx,” a caption reads over the video, which features Stefani, 55, running the camera as she shows viewers the boxes that have arrived before joining her hubby Shelton, 49, inside what looks to be a greenhouse.

“We have been planning on doing this project together for years. Irises are about ready to plant. Come along with us,” Stefani tells viewers, while looking comfortable in a pair of sunnies and a sweater with her hair pulled back into a ponytail.

“Now, we’re attempting to make an iris garden, where I’ll take you. So you can see it. And, when I say we, I mean Blake. It’s gigantic. And, we bought thousands of varieties,” the “Hollaback Girl” singer shares as she points out the fresh soil bed and sunny location for the fragrant perennial flowers, which will presumably grow at the country star’s Oklahoma ranch, near the town of Tishomingo.

Shelton, dressed in a ball cap and tan-colored work shirt, chimes in, saying, “Instead of buying a hundred of one or two kinds, you bought one or two kinds of a thousand.”

“This calls for a drink,” he adds, before Stefani reminds him that it’s too early for alcohol.

“It’s just overwhelming because there are so many names,” she says about the flowers before updating followers on the couple’s progress. “Labeled and laid out. Now we’ve gotta plant them. Anyone wanna help us?”

After jumping in the tractor with Shelton, Stefani laughs and insinuates that she and her man may be a little in over their heads with the “overwhelming” project.

“At this point, we’re kind of wondering if we’ve made the right decision. It’s so over the top,” the pop superstar says before Shelton adds, “Four hours so far and we haven’t even put the first one in the ground.”

After a hard day’s work in the field, Stefani asks Shelton, “What do you think of the work you did today?” To which he answers, “Anything I do after 4:00 p.m. is not my fault.”

“We put in a full day’s work, and we’re gonna come back and do the rest tomorrow morning,” Stefani tells folks before ending the video.
