Blake Shelton may be a country music superstar whose every song and project seems to flourish, but when it comes to one of his personal passions, the Oklahoma ranch life, the story is different. In a candid interview with CMT, the 48-year-old The Voice coach revealed an unexpected challenge: flower gardening.
“I think fans would be surprised to know that I am a struggling flower gardener. Struggling,” Shelton admitted with a dose of humor. The singer shares the sprawling ranch with his wife, pop icon Gwen Stefani, and flower gardening is something they do together — though with mixed results.
Shelton explained, “If I’m gonna plant flowers I wanna do like 10 acres of flowers so I can use my equipment, my tractors, really tear some crap up. So far, not so good.” His large-scale farming mindset, shaped by his love of planting acres of corn or beans, contrasts with the more delicate task of nurturing flowers on a smaller scale.
Meanwhile, Stefani, 55, seems to have the greener thumb of the duo. Back in 2024, Shelton praised Gwen’s gardening prowess in an interview with Nylon, describing her as having “an incredible sense for planting things: how to grow them and, once it’s growing, how to cultivate it, and when to prune something.”
The country star highlighted their differing approaches: “I like to farm on a big scale, like corn or beans, acres at a time. She concentrates more on patches here and there and ends up farming things a little better than I do.”
Adding a charming detail about their shared passion, Shelton noted, “Gwen has her own tractor now, and we’re working toward her one day soon being able to fire it up and go out to do her own thing on it.”
For fans, this glimpse into the Shelton-Stefani ranch life offers a refreshing contrast to the singer’s polished public persona, showing that even country music’s golden boy has his gardening battles — and that sometimes, love grows best in patches, not acres.
