Such beautiful plants!! 😍 this year my boys (ages 9&7) decided to do the container contest. We went to our local greenhouse/garden center and they got to choose their own plants. I do have to say their container is winning! So proud of them.
I find that I look forward to your channel whenever you post a new video. Love how you educate us on all the different kinds of plantings. Plus, it is a treasure of a bonus when you share your beautiful children with us in your videos. I can honestly say from my heart that I don’t normally get excited on UA-cam channels but your channel is one that keeps you interested til the end and I love your channel. Oh, I have now been following you guys for almost 2 years and feel like I have to watch you guys as often as you post your videos. I wish you all nothing but the best in life and may God bless you all for doing all that you do and to include us all in your journey. Thank you so much
Laura, you are planting so many pollinator friendly plants in your gardens! Have you thought about putting some low shallow bowls out for water with some pebbles for the bees and butterflies? Is there a way you could tap into your water source to keep them filled with fresh water? Just a thought! Love following your dream.
Good Morning GA friends and family from New Jersey! Hope you all have a great day 🥰🌼🌷🌺💐🌻🍀🌼🌺⚘🥰
I’m from Jersey also. 🌼🌸🌻
The south garden is like a jigsaw puzzle being put together! Love watching the progress in each video. You are so fortunate to have so much open space to plant in! It”s like a gardener”s dreamscape. Thanks for these videos. They are so encouraging in these hard times!
Woow I kinda just realized that the south garden in a very short time have gone from rather empty to much more full! Beautiful and well done! 😍💚🌱👏
Love all of these! ❤️ Laura, thank you so much for all of your videos. I’ve been watching for a couple of years now and just helped my boyfriend, who is a landscaper, designs couple of beds for a client. We used hydrangeas, echinacea, nepeta, lambs ear, heuchera, and a small blue spruce. I made sure that green, blue, yellow and red were all in there, that textures and heights varied, and every season would have blooms… all of which I’ve learned from you. We’re hoping to do more of this and it wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you for educating me and so many others and the joy and kindness you provide along the way. ❤️❤️❤️
Every year summer I wait for my butterfly bush to flower
Just to see the beautifies flitting around the bush all day
Makes me smile..👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
The beginning of the stone pathway is stunning - looking forward to watching this unfold♥
Such beautiful bushes! I have never had those but I'm definitely going to add that to my list. And it was so exciting to see the flagstone pathways starting. Looking forward to that video. We did a flagstone walkway and stairs and patio over the last couple years and now I'm starting to plant around it all. I will definitely add butterfly bush to my growing list of plants I want. Thanks for all the fun inspiration. You guys are a blessing!
Those State of Grace roses are literally growing in a bouquet! Gorgeous!
I'm also a professional gardener, my business is 26 years old this year, and I have designed many gardens and taken care of many plants in mid-coast Maine, with the help of a great crew. Can't imagine gardening in 100 degree weather...good for you for getting out there and doing what you need to keep your gardens going....Gardening is not for the faint of heart, especially when it gets hot, and if it's 90 degrees in midcoast Maine, than that's a very hot day and luckily we don't get many of those....Aren't you hotter gardening in black?
Hello 👋 Lynne
How are you doing today
I just LOVE butterfly bushes! They are one of the few plants that thrive in my extremely sandy soil with next to no amendments. I typically have to add a LOT of amendments so my soil will hold water for longer than .004 seconds lol….but butterfly bushes are one that I can plant it and forget it. I water them in for a week then never touch them again. So soooo easy and gorgeous!
My mom has sandy soil, Lupine do REALLY well for her, if you like them they’re super easy to grow from seed😊
@@angelaengler2387 yes ma’am they do, I have quite a few!! Another great suggestion for sandy soils for sure! Sandy soil is a blessing and a curse. It definitely drains well, but it doesn’t hold water or nutrients because it drains a little too well. Finding plants that don’t need a lot of amending are blessings for sure!
I’m hoping my Miss Violet butterfly bush perks up. She’s in full sun, Sandy soil but not doing well. 🤞🤞🤞
You probably do great with lavender too do you?
@@leecorrigan8394 yes, lavender does amazing here. Catmint, lantana, and daisies too. Root crops also do fantastic here, the loose sand is perfect for potatoes, carrots, etc.
But things like arborvitae, hibiscus, hosta, etc…these need major soil amendments and either irrigation run or a really good watering schedule. Between the extreme heat, humidity, and super fast drying sand, they’re harder to keep up.
Oh Joy! A sneak peek at the rock lane!!! This walkway will be splendid! ❤️❤️❤️ All the butterfly 🦋 ❤️ 💕 plants are gorgeous!! Love these plants and my coffee and this video were delicious together this morning. Hugs from N.C..❤️
Good Morning!🌞🦋 I love my Butterfly Bushes & I finally planted them in the right spot! They put on a show every season since they are happy in their spot plus the butterflies love them! 😃💜💚🦋
Many years ago when I was a child our neighbour planted butterfly bushes and us children got to witness every variety of butterfly feed from them. I planted multiple bushes in my gardens and still enjoy seeing the butterflies come.
I have been hoping every day that this would be the day for the walkway! So great to see it started! You have so many things going on that I'm assured that every day you will have an inspiring video to share. I need that inspiration! My flower beds are full of weeds! I have spent the last 2 months caring for my husband, who just had his second of two knee replacement surgeries. But he is well on his way to recovery and what looks to be a great rest of the summer!
Saying prayers for a speedy recovery❤️
There are some really good herbal ointments that help with healing and pain.
These are so perfect! Already doing their thing - attracting butterflies and bees. I often think, “why can there be desirable plants that grow like weeds? Without any extra care?” Sounds like these fit that description, at least once they get going.
Loved seeing a sneak peek at the stone walkway. That’s going to be magnificent!!!💚💚💚
Morning! I went to the garden centre on the weekend with the plan to buy Butterfly Bushes for an area in front of our deck that is nice and sunny. Ended up coming home with Nightglow Diervilla! LOL 😂🌿💕🇨🇦 I do still want some Butterfly Bushes at some point though!
Isn’t it funny how you can have a set plan and as soon as you walk in your plan changes and you leave with a bunch of beautiful plants! Then you get home and realize you didn’t get the one thing you went to the plant center for😂
@@a.l.lind5926 yes, it is...seems to happen the odd time but I'm very happy with my decision. The Diervilla looks beautiful where it is. Now, I have to make a new plan for a Butterfly Bush! Lol
Everything is looking so good, and things are filling in. Love watching it all take shape. And, that stone pathway ... just WOW! I'm watching intently since I want to do the same in my backyard. Can wait for that video to load!
That state of grace rose bush is absolutely stunning
I've just planted some wildflower seeds and I'm getting ready to plant more soon. I'm very new, this is my first time and I'm so excited. My garden is a container garden as I just don't have the room to plant in ground but. I've just purchased 2 David Austin roses, they're my babies and I'm taking care of them and can't wait to see my lil yard full of bees and butterflies next year. My plant obsession is real and I'm looking forward to next year as I continue to add to my collection. I'm new to your channel and you have taught me so much already and your love for gardening is so lovely to see. Thank you for filming all your projects xx
Welcome to gardening! May you have continued success. The roses sounds lovely.
I caution you with "wildflower" as MOST aren't native and can actually carry seeds that are considered invasive in your area.
@@MyNickyMouse thank you for letting me know. When I purchase more I'll ask beforehand and make sure I'm choosing the right seeds
😀every day,Russell control at first the flowers that Laura plan to plant if they are ok....they are 👍....Greetings from Germany 🌻🐾
Yes, I noticed the "cat supervisor" in the shade overseeing everything. Notice he didn't go out into the heat of the sun 😎! That's a supervisor for you....not breaking a sweat!
The stone path is GORGEOUS!!!!
Absolutely beautiful bushes, I’m hoping to plant a couple this season to help bring pollinators back to our area!
Thank you for the sneak peek of your rock path, it’s given me an idea for the patio we’re planning to put in our pool area 🥰
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day
Laura everything is just beautiful!! The stone pathway will be so amazing! Love the addition of the butterfly bushes too!! Hey just to be a butterfly living in your garden would be wonderful lol!! Thanks for bringing us along.
The gardens look gorgeous. It's amazing how much it has changed in just one year that I've been watching.
Your excitement is extremely contagious! I love that you do what you do - for us! I've said it before and I'll say it again - "YOU ARE A ROCK STAR" of gardening and isnspiration. I'm unstopable because of YOU. Except my plot size stopped me cold, that's ok. I'm loving it, just like you! Thanks Laura, for everything.
Gorgeous!!!! You'll keep them pruned back so they don't get overgrowned. We had to removed two overgrown butterfly bushes the year after we moved it. They weren't in the right place as it was planted a foot from the front walk, which is covered. I planted lavander grosso there instead and spaced them further from the main walk.
Hello 👋 Stephanie
How are you doing today?
Thank goodness, you have the newest plat of land as your property, at the rate you are going you’ll have the south property (is that right?) done by this year!!! It is all so beautiful, and oh my goodness, the pathway is already gorgeous. So love watching your progress and all that you teach us. Thank you!
I love butterfly 🦋 bushes. With this video, you gave an idea for in front of my light green dappled willow. Can't wait.
Hello 👋 Pamela
How are you doing today?
Wow. A power auger. Another tool I would love to have. Thank you for the helpful information.
Hello 👋 mary
How are you doing today?
Thanks for inspiring us daily! Beautiful butterfly bushes!💜💖
Loving that flagstone path it's looking super AWESOME!!!!! 😍👍👏
Love the pathway! It’s coming along nicely. I often wonder what your mum thinks of your beautiful garden and it’s development. It would be so fun to watch a walkabout with you and your mum! Maybe in the next garden tour??
Flagstone pathway looks great. It’s gonna add so much to the garden.
The butterfly bushes are beautiful and l'm loving the purple/lavender color.💜
Even though you don't have those invasive issues where you are there is not a hard and fast line. A buffer zone is needed, your area is that buffer. It's a smart appropriate approach to invasive species. Be happy you have good decision makers protecting you against some truly nasty devastating problems. Good job Oregon!
When I bought my “Miss Violet” a couple years ago in WA, the tag read summer lilac instead of butterfly bush. So happy for the sterile varieties as they are stunning, fussfree shrubs.
Hello C
How are you doing today?
Every time Laura talks about second story plants, I'm thinking about the lilacs in our garden that are definitely second story plants ... but i don't really mind because i can see them from my second story bedroom window :)
Butterfly bushes are so pretty, I never has planted one, but I might now. I love the flag stone walk way. It's going to look magical.❤️
Laura…You couldn’t resist showing us the flagstone path! Yayyy! Everything looks amazing. You are delightful. ❤️
Hello 👋 Myrna
How are you doing today
Laura your vision is so over the top. I love every you are doing. ❤️
Hello 👋 Tracy
How are you doing today?
I'm so excited to see your flagstone pathway! After suffering from sticker shock from bids from several different landscapers this spring, we were debating whether we could put in a flagstone pathway in our side yard by ourselves. I can't wait to see a video on the steps you took.
Hello 👋 Lynda
How are you doing today ?
I have one and I can't wait to see the beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds, bees come ..
Hello 👋 Genevieve
How are you doing today?
It's going to be gorgeous when they are all grown and filled in! Existing! The pathway is.....beautiful, I can already see itin my mind.😍🤗🤗💜🤗🤗
Hello 👋 cami

The flagstone path looks so pretty. I love all the butterfly bushes. They look so nice in the garden.

LOVE those butterfly bushes, especially the dark purple, Miss Violet!! So pretty. Never thought of planting them as a grouping.
I can't wait for planting around the Hartley...😊💭👍 great season finale idea 💡
Good Morning Gardening friends!

The blue chip jr was the first shrub I purchased for my new home! It’s doing great and just started blooming this past week looking beautiful! I’m thinking the purple haze is next on my list 💜 🦋
Amazing Idea & Amazing Flowers too. I adore the Purple & the Butterfly.
It's so rewarding when to see pollinators visit your plants.
I think it wi deful how you have all these wonderfuk recorded memories. . The surprise camio of the cats is amazing everytine. . i wish i had some memoires of my pets like this. 😅
Laura I know we rely on you a lot to bring tons of joy into our lives with your videos but I hope that does not put the weight of expectation on your shoulders. We appreciate you!
I want some butterfly bushes so much! Haven’t had any since we moved 8 years ago, definitely on my “want” list, along with gooseberry plants and Doublefile Viburnum ❤️Great video Laura and Aaron 👍
A wonderful start to the day!
Love, love ((((LOVE))) my butterfly bushes! I have all of the Pugsters and Miss Molly. I also have a Cascade Falls purple ( new to me this year). 💕
Hello 👋 Greenrock
How are you doing today?
The stone is great!!!!!
Hello 👋 Pamela
How are you doing today?
I have a butterfly bush. I just love them. Mine dies totally back every year. Nothing is left to trim, nothing. It grows back to between 2-3 feet every year. This year I put a peony cage around it so it stand up-right.
Much love ❤❤ StL Missouri 6a
Hello 👋 Tammy
How are you doing today?
I have four big butterfly bushes in my backyard. I absolutely love them for attracting bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
But my favorite visitors at my butterfly bushes are the hummingbird moths...I just love them!
If you catch a quick glimpse of one of them, you might think it's a hummingbird, till you look again...
The hummingbird moths don't sting or bite and are just fascinating to watch!
I love butterfly bushes! I have a neighbor who limbs up their big one to be a multi “trunk” tree. It’s small and really cute. Also, I’ve used butterfly bush in cut arrangements and the blooms last forever! 🥰
Hello 👋 Amy
How are you doing today?
I have been following you, since you were in your other home. I just love how this property is improving. It is so beautiful.
It amazes me that you’re able to be outside planting in 104 weather! If I tried that here in the south, I would pass out from the heat and humidity.
Your garden is so beautiful and I enjoy watching everything fill out.
I was just at my local nursery and they had Miss voilet in one gallon for $26! I can't imagine planting a group of 5 or 6 when I couldn't even bring myself to buy one.
I am truly amazed at how your garden area is coming along. Enjoy your talent to much. Thank you.
The path is EVERYTHING!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Wow!!!, the flagstone is absolutely gorgeous!!! A wonderful addition to the garden. Great choice!!!
Great video. Loved the extra bonus of seeing the path laying progress x 💜💜💜🙏🇦🇺😇
Every Thing is filling and beautiful. The walk way is going to be amazing.
🌿💚 OH MY GOODNESS, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the STONE WALKWAY Laura!! I think that is going to really give that large space a a soft STRIKING touch!! The butterfly bushes are going to be so beautiful!! 💚🌿
Beautiful layout everything is turning out beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Love my Butterfly bushes and so do the pollinators. I have 3 in my yard and they smell good enough to eat 🙂 I have a large butterfly garden with many pollinator plants, but when these bloom in late Spring/early Summer, they are the busiest.
They add an extra touch to your perennial gardens. I like where you placed them!
Given the number of butterfly bushes you have on the property it may be good to consider planting some native host perennials/shrubs that are used by butterflies local to your area on which they can lay eggs. Without going into it the non native butterfly bush only supports adult butterflies. They can’t lay eggs on that shrub and if there are no host plants right near by the bush kind of tricks the butterflies to hang around your Beautiful garden but then when they go to lay eggs they can’t locate a host plant and they end up not laying eggs before they die. If u know what butterflies that are local to u it’s rewarding to plant a few host plants. Something to consider. Appreciate watching ur show every morning.
I agree , host plants are so important...not just nectar plants, milkweed for monarchs etc...parsley,rue ,fennel
@Mark Pizzi Thank you for sharing, Learning something new everyday, valuable information for sure!
Yes. This is so important. I just typed out a similar screed under someone else’s comment. 😂
New here!
From Portland OR!🌲
You’re a wealth of information!
Beautiful property!
Great channel!
🇺🇸👍🌹
Hello 👋 Sharleen
How are you doing?
Living in Nevada these are a must in our garden. I took a white,purple and white and planted them together to get a tricolor bush. It’s beautiful
I am trying to follow your and your mom's guide: green, blue, red/purple, yellow groupings in my container roof deck garden. Do pink plants fit in that same red/purple category?
I just added a cats pajamas, pink profusion salvia and a gaura to my container garden. Added some rose campion for the blueish leaves. Your videos and info have helped beegin to train my eyes and plant choices. I have learned so much about plants and gardens from you. THANK YOU.
👋Good morning Laura and family 👨👩👧👦
I'll have to give the butterfly 🦋 Bushes a try in my garden. The gray flagstone l🙂🙂ks great, it makes everything pop and more detailed very nice. Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful rest of the day ☺. We will also be getting a little warmer, suppose to get some rain 🌧 at the end of the week just in time for the 4th, have a good one.
Hello 👋 Jean
How are you doing today?
What a beautiful wonderland. The path is looking great. Yall work so hard and it shows.
Love those new compact varieties of butterfly bush! They are so much better than the older varieties, I think.
Everything is so beautiful. You have made such wonderful selections. Thanks for sharing the work with us.
Watching your garden grow and expanding is amazing to watch! With all that gardening and planting have you ever thought of hosting weddings in the future? What beautiful venue it would be one day. Although you already have beautiful areas now!
Hello Carolyn
How are you doing today
Good morning from Maryland. Starting the day @ 55 degrees. Going up to 87 degrees today.
Love the walkway!! Looking more whimsical everyday, love it!! ❤❤❤😀
I just bought 11 acres and I need you Laura! Most of it is forested.
Hello 👋 julie
How are you doing today?
My neighbor has a butterfly bush and it hangs over my fence. Last year during my husband's birthday party in August all our family and friends gushed at "my" beautiful bush (lol). You are so thoughtful with all that you are planting. Such a nice way to start my day seeing your videos. The walkway is looking good . It will look so nice when it's done. Have a great day.
I just love Butterfly Bushes. I have two bushes I have had for eight years now. They grow 12 feet tall and grow on new wood. I do cut them hard each spring. Gardening in a zone 9b⚜️
Those first sets of butterfly bushes place out in the south garden. Did anyone else say out loud “Oh that’s a PERFECT spot!” Beautiful job as always Laura. Maybe try keeping the camera in a cooler when you’re not filming? Just a thought for the over heating problem.
Hello 👋 susan
How are you doing today?
Hi Laura! Those butterfly bushes are so pretty and add some nice color where you planted them. The stone walkway is going to be so nice out there. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love the butterfly bushes but that path way I can see it's going to be amazing.
Those are really beautiful butterfly 🦋 bushes! We need to get a few of these for the garden 😀.
Oh my gosh, that walkway!! So beautiful. Also I love butterfly bushes. I have a purple and a pink.
Hello 👋 Jessie
How are you doing ?
Love the Butterfly Bushes and the stone pathway is goanna be an awesome addition and so enjoyable to see and use! Bet the kids will love stepping on the stones.
south garden is really becoming established and filling in nicely.
Those Miss Violets planted behind the yellow Echinacea are going to make a gorgeous display. My school colors! Go Blue Go Gold !!!!!
Their my favorite type of plant. Their so low maintenance and amazing producers! Which in turn brought life back to a dying area in our landscape! ❤
We have a Miss Molly next to our front porch and love to sit on the swing and watch the bees and butterflies on this plant.
