Losing a tenant … quiet enjoyment
I asked my tenant if I could have my parents whom are also owners of the home to plant shrubs and flowers and the Tenant agreed.
Since their planting, My parents have now been going over unannounced to water without asking tenant permission to use the water for the plants at least 5 times.
Tenant said they will water themselves so better management of their water bill. Tenant said please do not come over to water.
Lastly my parents now just show up at tenants house unannounced…. At 8pm….. and I don’t even know why. I’m afraid I will lose the tenant because of my parents
Tenant quiet enjoy has been interrupted
Can tenant leave? Tenant did not answer door when parents went at 8pm.
Can tenant leave because my parents violated their space?

Yes, the tenant can certainly leave. Are your parents unable to understand that if they're not paying the water bill, they're not allowed to make decisions about when to water the plants or how much water to use? Are they in mental decline, hopelessly stupid, or arrogant about their own property to the point of blindness?
Shame on you for allowing this fiasco to happen and for not reigning your parents in. Who's managing this place? You or them? Do what's necessary. If your parents turn out to be unable to understand the consequences of their actions, quit managing the property and talking to a wall. You don't need this to affect your family life.
