Videos from Corrie Acres and her Gardens

Corrie's Mom

I’ve started playing around with garden video and picture content on my TikTok channel @Corrie’s_Mommae.

While I’ve written about some complex and intense content following the sudden death of my daughter, I’m usually a private person, especially outside of school. I spend so much time talking either through teaching or in discussion that I value the quiet of the country.

Just Corrie’s blog, Season of Corrie, I’ve shifted from the immediate mourning, emotions and poetry to how garden gives a sense of peace and self-love.

Some students have said that I should become a life coach or public speaker. I’m not sure about all of that, but I believe gardens give a sense of purpose.

As someone who, as my husband says, would’ve killed an artificial plant four years ago; a sense of pride and accomplishment comes from the gardens.

The first video of Corrrie’s gardens, yard, and wildlife that I edited with CapCut, a favorite video app editor of my 8th grade students.

They say teacher turn over is high right now, and many teachers will leave the profession in five years or less. I will enter my seventh year as a full-time teacher, and my 12th year in education after I'd started as a sub and teacher assistant. I was the student in the 1990s you did not want in your classroom because I was diagnosed with ADHD and did not know how to socialize with other kids. I was due to be tested for autism, but this was considered an ostracizing experience for a child then, especially a girl. I am a third generation teacher and author of seventeen creative works.
