Pamela Anderson Reveals Her Breathtaking Vancouver Island Garden: “This Is Where I Found Myself”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pamela Anderson lives in the Garden of Eden \u2013 and her Instagram videos are proof. Her page is full to the brim with peaceful clips of verdant flower beds, lush, rain-soaked pink roses and a warm, orange sunset filtering through the pine trees that border her property. It\u2019s an enchanting window into the idyllic life Anderson leads in her hometown of, delightfully named, Ladysmith in British Columbia.<\/span><\/p>\n

The actor has called Vancouver Island home since 2019, after spending two years in the south of France and leaving behind her Malibu home, where she had lived for two decades. Since then, she\u2019s been transforming her grandparents\u2019 former property into a glorious countryside retreat.<\/p>\n

Explaining the reason behind the move, she told <\/span>Better Homes & Gardens<\/span><\/i> that she \u201cneeded a change.\u201d \u201cI came to a point where I decided to move home and disappear and get into my garden. And when I started<\/span> building the garden<\/span>, it was really like a metaphor of putting my life back together,\u201d she said. \u201cI began planting seeds, and the smallest things became really profound.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Building A Paradise<\/h2>\n

In Pamela\u2019s Garden of Eden<\/em>, which HGTV Canada aired in 2022, Anderson set herself a $750,000 budget to renovate the property she had bought from her grandparents more than two decades earlier. It’s the same home her family brought her to as a baby, where she spent her childhood running barefoot as a \u201cwild child.\u201d The property spans seven acres of countryside overlooking the coast and comprises three buildings: The Roadhouse, formerly a teahouse her grandparents ran in the 1950s; The Cabin, one of the original nine holiday rental homes; and The Boathouse, which would eventually become Anderson\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the renovations, Anderson\u2019s home has been transformed into a romantic, homely paradise. The walls are painted white, sage green and soft pink, or adorned with floral wallpaper. There are antiques, vintage wicker furniture and plush cushions in every corner. Every room is sublime. Even the potting shed looks fit for a marriage proposal.<\/span><\/p>\n
