NEED TO KNOW
- Janelle Brown revealed her plans to honor her late son Garrison at her North Carolina farm in a new episode of Sister Wives
- The TLC star purchased the 156-acre property with her daughter Maddie and her son-in-law Caleb
- They have plans to create a memorial at the farm for Garrison, who died by suicide in March 2024
Janelle Brown is making sure her son Garrison’s memory will live on at her new North Carolina farm.
In a new episode of Sister Wives on Sunday, Sept. 28, Janelle talks through the layout plan for her new 156-acre property that she purchased with her daughter Maddie and her son-in-law Caleb Brush.
During the episode, Janelle says her former sister wife Christine Brown and Christine’s new husband David Woolley came out to North Carolina to help celebrate the new property. While they’re all gathered around together, Maddie pulls out an aerial map of the farm and explains what they have planned for the land.
Christine then points to a section on the map and asks, “What are you going to call that road?” to which Maddie responds: “Caleb said, ‘Why don’t we call it Bob Blvd.’”
As Garrison’s first name is Robert, and he was often referred to as “Uncle Bob,” Christine explains in a confessional, the group all agreed that would be a great idea.

The scene then cuts to a confessional-style clip of Janelle revealing their plans for a memorial at the site in honor of Garrison, who died by suicide on March 5, 2024.

“Garrison’s always in our thoughts, right? And we will definitely, probably have a part of the flower garden that’s really more of a memorial to him and to Bob’s Floral, his Hawaiian shirt shop,” she says.

Cutting back to the family gathering, Maddie adds, “We’d like to do a flower garden area, like a monument. A quiet garden that’s dedicated to people who struggle with mental health and lost their battle.”
Janelle adds, “He’ll always be here. He will be represented here for sure on this property.”

She also noted that it was her dream to have her own farm and live “the rural life since I was a little kid.”
Along with planting a flower garden for Garrison, she lists two other projects they are working on.
“We need to get our houses built and we need to get the farm area cleared,” she says, referring to her own house and Maddie and Caleb’s house. “Got to have a barn, a place for the chickens, got to have a garden, all that.”
