Douglas has really started following you around just like his ginger "brothers"...🐈🐈🐈⬛. Are you wearing catnip Laura? :)))...Just so sweet that Benjamin made his own bouquet💐 :)))
Laura the cat lady..3 and counting..
@@davidhatfield5714 Is it theres or a neighbours?
@@davidhebb9480 as far as I know #3 Douglas just showed up
What girl wouldn’t want a bouquet of flowers like that. Beautiful ❤ Douglas is very much at home laying on the porch.
Have to agree with Aaron. Reshaping that grass by hand is hard labor. Having the ability to take it out will give you possibilities you hadn't imaged. Having watched your videos for sometime, I know Laura is a visual person. So #teamnograss That being said... I think a hydrangea hedge would be beautiful😅 I just imagine a georgous mass of puffy blooms leading you to the greenhouse. Magical. I think whatever you decide will be as lovely as the rest of your property is. As Laura says "if you don't love it, it's okay to remove it". 🌳
The new bistro and the furniture set around the brick patio in front of the Hartley makes me so happy! The love of trees, shrubs and flowers grows every time I watch your shows. I feel so rejuvenated and inspired. Thank you so much Laura and Aaron! Forever Grateful, EB 😊❤
I like the idea of one tree closer to the fire pit and leave the other side empty. If you go with a nice large shade tree you’ll get a bit more of a natural vibe “outside” the Hartley and Brick patio area!
I think you’re right, from an aesthetic perspective it would be more natural and less contrived. There’s already so much formality. This way would balance the yard perfectly.
I agree. It would look more natural with just one tree on the side by the fireplace area. There is so much going on in this space. Whatever you choose will be beautiful in the end.
I thought a leaf canopy near the fireplace are while an evergreen on the other side would gently frame the Hartley and not feel that contrivance. Lovely all around.
I love how the kids are so into gardening as well! 😊
That's how i was with my dad. He has since passed, but it's in my blood now
Benjamin is so cute when he says it's ready to go!! ❤
I heard "ready to roll"? either way, it's adorable how happy he is popping in and out of videos and doing his own little projects.
So productive everyday!, I’m inspired!
that moment in particular when Laura caught him trying to sneak up on her, he looks so much like her! so cute❤
Good morning from Ireland 🇮🇪
Good evening from Australia.nearly bedtime in Melbourne.
Good morning from Columbus, Ohio.
Hallo aus Deutschland
Good morning from Oologah Oklahoma
We visited Ireland in the spring of 2019 (pre the pandemic), and it was a glorious trip.
I love your relationship with Benjamin! Your take the time to explain things to him. His answers makes me laugh and sometimes I think Wow what a very smart little boy! Keep up the good work! The arrangement is beautiful! Also Benjamin arrangement! God Bless!❤😊
I love her tenderness but also just how she gives him respect to be him ❤❤
I am LOVING the 30+ minute shows! I really love the puttering around the garden doing random projects. Right up my alley!
Incredible video today Laura. Your kindness is infectious. I am a better person by doing things like Laura would.
What an enormous compliment! 😁
“WWLD” !!!!!
I agree. After watching Laura and especially Laura with her mom, Susan, I find myself smiling and being kinder to those around me.
Transitioning the area outside the kitchen to a bistro set up was a fabulous idea.
☕️Good morning Laura, Benjamin and GA friends. What a lovely wispy arrangement, Laura, I would be honored to receive such a beautiful sentiment. I can tell, he is a lovely young man to request a bouquet from you! So amazing how you lay out or plan your spaces. Vi would be way overwhelmed. It’s all coming along and each day with you brings more beauty and blessings to so many. Enjoy a great garden day everyone 💚🌼🐝
Good morning, most beautiful family owned garden in America!
Thank you for explaining your planning process: Laura & Aaron's collaboration is as beautiful as their garden!
Laura: just a simple, pretty arrangement… gives a work of art 💕
Consider putting a hard rubber wheeled, sturdy but pretty bar cart right by your kitchen door. I did, and now I load up the cart with plates, flatware, glasses, food, napkins, S&P, etc. and wheel it down walks and even across grass to eat lunch or dinner anywhere. It makes dining al fresco so easy and clean up and "carry in" even easier.
I think Aaron has a point about tearing out the lawn and starting fresh from scratch. He’s so good at that and has had quite a bit of success. The result in the long run will be an easier time of installing irrigation and a uniform lawn where the leveling imperfections can be fixed.
If you decide on shade trees, may I suggest for consideration horse chestnut. There are several varieties to choose from that come in varying sizes. From extremely large, medium and small. They have beautiful flower spikes for a couple of weeks in the spring and produce beautiful mahogany colored “buckeyes ” that can be used in crafting. Fall and flower colors vary depending on variety, and they are tolerant of high to low PH. I know they do well in your area, but in my opinion are under utilized. I think Aaron would like the ginormous ones maybe in a more open part of the property.
Meanwhile, everything you’ve done looks so GOOD and you guys should be so proud.
Benjamin is growing into such a wonderful young man!!! Also must bust your button with pride. 💚💚💚
Loved everything about this video, and I found myself drooling over your beautiful hydrangeas😍 is it me or is Benjamin getting taller by the minute? It’s an amazing thing to watch him evolve into a sweet young man!🩵
I think your layout by the Hartley is going to be lovely. Shade trees are always a good choice. The remaining lawn area would make a perfect croquet pitch.
Morning Everyone 🍃🌸🍃
Rows of wheat add such a beautiful, flowing softness to the flower garden. Just gorgeous.
Oh my 😊😊😊 I'm loving this space even more. 🌿🌼🌸🌿🌿👏👏👏💜 Douglas is becoming more loving. He wants to be around all the time 😻😻😻
Hi laura, love the arrangement, what a sweet gesture from that young man and also from you to offer your artistic services. About the sketch, i think instead of the two big trees you might want to use evergreens that are on the wispy fluffy side so they don't block the gorgeous hartley view, and swap where you intended to plant the evergreen with the big tree just in case you may lose the other tree canopy. Can't wait to see how the space will evolve. Ps: please try to save as many roses as you can near the fireplace 😢especially the iceberg , they are a marvel❤❤
I love your ideas for the furniture placement. It’s going to be amazing ❤
Oh! Laura it doesn’t really matter what you do on your videos we love watching them. Everything is turning out to be just perfection. We love watching your family interact feels like you are our UA-cam loved relatives. You all bring peacefulness to our souls. ❤️❤️❤️ thank you!
I’m hoping that whatever the rain tree drops, it won’t stain your beautiful cushions. That set looks beautiful there, and the bistro set by the kitchen door is perfect!
I can’t with Benjamin! Omg.. he is so so adorable!
“Wheat is ready to go”! ..lol
You two are raising such wonderful children.
How adorable is he. “Yeah that one’s ready to roll!” 🥰
I just love the outdoor furniture. Is Douglas a permanent resident now? He's joined the family just like Cheddar did. Haven't seen a lot of Russell lately. He probably doesn't like the fact that Douglas is taking over as the kitty who follows Laura around in the garden. 😀😼🌿
I was wondering the same about Russell not being in the picture as much.
Love the walk through of ideas for the new grass area! I think you should just plant one shade tree on the left and leave openness on the right as you are looking at the Hartley. Two trees would seem too formal for this area and you already have enough formality around Hartley. Also if you plant one shade tree you will have the weight of it plus the weight of the willow on the other side. Informal visual balance. You gardens are really becoming beautiful!
I love seeing the kids so active outside. That's how I grew up but these days it's not as common.
Good Morning! 💐 What a beautiful boutique!! Benjamin & Samantha are having so much fun riding their bikes on the brick walkway!! I like those plans! I love being in on the start of projects! Love that bistro set! 😃🤔🥰🪻🌹🌼💚🌿
I enjoy your “randomness”. It’s a different perspective of your garden area. The new placement of the furniture looks so peaceful-great place to sit early morning with your coffee.
Speaking from the perspective of a senior and looking out for your parents, single stones are very hard to walk on. Of course you don't need to make those considerations, but you may not have thought of that. You are such a great designer, and I can't begin to imagine what goes on inside your mind all the time.
Benjamin, such a sweet boy. Love how he enjoys being in the garden with you.
Thank you for showing us your process. That was so informative. The Carlisle style furniture is perfect. Everything is so tasteful & cohesive. Just beautifully done.
P.S. I think your signature black attire is your best look. Good job, Laura.
Your patio furniture is gorgeous and what a lovely peaceful spot to sit under the shade of that beautiful tree. Perfection 😍
Oh! In your remaining grass area I hope you will put in a croquet lawn. Soooo perfect right off the Hartly and of course it's great family fun for all generations. Just sharing my memories, I am certain whatever you design will be wonderful 😊
What a fun idea!
I was just thinking to myself the other day how I wished I could see your beautiful flower arrangements. I’m not in Instagram, and I know you share those on there. And here it is! Thank you, Laura, for including it in a video. It turned out gorgeous and I’m sure she’ll love it. Also, I just love random projects together that show different areas. It’s like a mini garden tour, without being a full tour. I love your furniture choices!! Can’t wait to see the redo of the grass area progress.
I'm dying... "That one's really ready". Benjamin! So cute!
Love the neutral white cushions! IMHO, the sidewalk from porch to Hartley needs to swerve more heavily near the porch over to your paint line leading to Hartley. I love all the design discussion!
Hi Laura,
May I suggest something? If you can buy additional umbrella covers for the centre of your bistro table, please consider it. It’s a small piece that can be lost easily. Once a line of furniture is discontinued, it will be almost impossible to find them to match your set. I hope this is helpful.
The flower arrangement is Beautiful! I Love how Benjamin is getting more involved with helping you, he is so sweet. I remember when you and Aaron moved into the house and where y’all started with the landscape, it has grown and involved sooo much.
Love seeing your thought process for future projects and seeing the two of you think things through ❤ the new outdoor seating bistro set seems perfect for breakfast in summer.
I love seeing your thought process on how things will be done. Great idea Aaron on taking out all the grass and starting over. Laura, the flower garden is absolutely gorgeous.
Lots of projects up ahead...i think planning, mapping, walking, looking high, looking low is a great begining - as well as avoiding problems you also can plan for water, sprinklers, lighting and all around things that you want to go right🤷fun video, love the furniture!
I love seeing the process of creating a new space. Also your family friends are so blessed by your generosity. I’m sure that young man had a fantastic date.
Plant a shade tree only on the left side looking towards the Hartley. Leave the other side more open.
Hi Laura and Aaron! I really enjoy these random videos. The bouquet turned out beautiful! It was fun seeing the plans for the new walkway. I agree with Aaron that it would probably be easier to remove all of the grass, especially since you need trenches for the sprinklers. Both sets of patio furniture are so pretty. I like the placement of both sets. It was fun seeing the kids, too, and I'm glad Douglas is doing better. Thank you so much for sharing!
This is one of my favorites of your videos! Thanks for sharing the planning process for the new space. I was getting tired just thinking about manually removing all that grass, until Aaron mentioned the idea of taking all the grass out with a tractor--which is total genius!! The brick patio is absolutely gorgeous, as is all the new furniture which fits both spaces perfectly!!! Can't hardly wait to see the planting video for the patio 🥰🥰🥰 it's going to be absolutely AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful world with us! You've given me inspiration to make our yard bountifully pretty and redo our deck in the limited time we have here (we're halfway through three years in the Midwest). I've only ever lived in zone 8 until now, and zone 4 sure is something else, but gleaning from your plant knowledge has made gardening here quite successful.
Beautiful arrangement. She will be thrilled.
Such a pretty flower arrangement Laura! It is so cute how Douglas follows you around just like Russell.🥰 Your Bistro set is perfect in that location and your lounging set looks great on the new patio!
OH! Yes. Loved the randomness. Glad that cat is no longer taking a swing at you...he's getting settled. Loved the hummingbird in the tree. And that bouquet...ah, he's a boy after my own heart, he is. I continue enjoying the peacefulness and joy that emanates from your videos...and the children...they are just delightful as they become their own little persons!
Your flowers are so beautiful! It would be lovely to watch a slower pace video of closeup shots of all your flowers and the different vistas of your garden with music so we can really appreciate all the beauty of your garden!❤
Aw, it's going to be beautiful 😍 I love it! Aaron is right, might as well remove the grass put in the sprinklers and then seed. To reshape it's going to be a beast of a job! Can't wait for what is going to happen! Kids make everything worthwhile! ❤🤗❤️
Hi Laura , I just wanted to say that I am absolutely sure that the young fella's, girlfriend will absolutely love the flower arrangement that you created for her because it is so delightful so young and vibrance and lovely! And you young lady are such a wonderful fabulous person to help out others when they need it or do something nice for someone who has done something nice for you you and your family and friends are so magnificent that is absolutely refreshing and heartwarming to everyone who sees this channel
Marker 11:07 to 11:13 so lovely - in 6 seconds here you are around all your plantings with your children(most beautiful blooms of all) at your feet spinning in joy. You are blessed Laura by Father God indeed.
Benjamin and Samantha have such great "Runways" for riding their bikes! ❤
That is one lucky girlfriend! That is a beautiful bouquet. I love that your videos show the kids playing and helping in the yard. You are doing things right and letting them be outdoor kids is the best! Keep up the good work. 😀
Oh my goodness that cut flower garden is so dreamy 😊
Love the furniture placement!! Wow gorgeous!!
Love all the ideas and that was a beautiful arrangement you made. Have a beautiful week.
We will hit into the 90/100 this wknd, pray no fires! Love the furniture❤
I definitely appreciate your sharing the thought process. I have learned so much from your channel. Planning and then changing your approach is also just fine. That's new for me. I always felt I had to know exactly what to do and then, there were no changes after installing/planting, etc. You have shown me that it's okay and perfectly fine to change anything completely , however you want to change. I love this! Thank you!
Good morning! 🌻🐝
So many beautiful ideas flourish in your head again!. You and Aaron are a great team. I love to see Benjamin and Samantha having so much fun together.❤
I think Douglas loves you. He seems to show up wherever you are. So sweet💖
Thank you for the comment on the sweet pea Old Time! It's out of stock most places on line, but Seedsday had some :) We used a sod cutter to peel up rolls of our lawn years ago. That was noisy, but not as labor intensive as going by hand. The benefit is that you can donate the rolls of grass to friends that need it.
What a lucky girl; getting a Laura Bouquet! Love it!
Thanks for taking us along on your 2 adventures!! Benjamin and Samantha Grace are Precious!! So great to see them enjoying their home with their Mom and Dad!!👍😄💕💞🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Samantha is so cute riding her trike… she’s going to have lovely hair just like her momma😊
Wow that yellow is gorgeous all over the ground. It looks like you intentionally put something yellow ground cover or pebbles or something from a distance. Just gorgeous. I'm with you about not blocking the view of the Hartley. Frame it , yes, block it no. Good to see the process. Oh and your kids are so blessed to have so many places to ride their bikes. My fondest memories of my childhood are of riding a tricycle on sidewalks and short grass. So cute!
Love seeing your process from the planning stages. Douglas seems to be your shadow 😻
Douglas just loves you. He follows you everywhere. So cute 😊
White hebe are a great evergreen flowering bush that looks great as a hedge, if you can leave it without trimming !!!
Looks like Russell had the day off..Douglas has been following you all over....please give him some lovin....look forward to each new video....nice to feel like we all are part of your journey....
We always dined "al fresco" at my grandmother's house. Such lovely memories for me! I really should start that with my own grandchildren.
The flower arrangement was beautiful, as always. Some of my favorite videos are of you arranging flowers. What a nice boyfriend to want to give his girl a full, beautiful flower arrangement.
That arrangement was so beautiful. What a lucky young lady. Beautiful ideas for the new pathway. Doug has made himself at home. Have a great rest of your day Ms Laura and Mr. Aaron.
Will the yellow blooms stain your new cushions? Love what you have done with the space.
I don’t understand why chairs under that tree would be a good idea. Constantly dropping a mess! Not a good place to sit.
Good evening GA friends♥️🇵🇭
Very helpful! Thanks for the placement of the furniture too. I was wondering how that was all going to shake out. It's a lot of work, but your property has so many fun areas! I like the idea of med conical instead of the shade trees on either side although I realize you want to cut the sun a bit on that side. Hard decision. Happy Gardening!
I absolutely love how fallen petals make a beautiful carpet of yellow under the hostas 💛💚
Douglas is a pretty cat. Kids so cute riding their bikes! Winterberry scrubs along the pathway!
Thanks for the bouquet portion Laura and I hope the young lady who received it was super impressed. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Seeing Benjamin with the wheat reminds me of a fun thing we did as kids. We had wheat around when our mom ground her own wheat to make bread. If you pop a palmful of wheat grains in your mouth and chew, chew, chew you you end up with a blob of gluten. We called it “pioneer gum” and it was pretty entertaining.
You brighten my day and inspire me. Thank you for posting over the years!
We did the same when we were children during harvest time! There was always loads of wheat laying around the combines and wheat trucks! I had forgotten about that :)
I just love how Douglas follows you around.
Maybe put a couple of large pots where you are thinking about putting the 2 big shade trees to “live” with it a bit. The shade trees do sound like a better option than the 2 pillar type evergreens the shade sounds like the most important reason for the trees. Thank you for taking us along for the process. Hopefully our comments will help and not hamper the decision process.
Absolutely gorgeous arrangement. She will love i! Just made him some points. Benjamin is becoming a wonderful garden guy. Mom... hope you didn't move his wheat. Lol😅
I have been watching your videos since the very beginning. I LOVE how much more comfortable Aaron has become. From someone who seemed to only wanted to be invisible behind the camera, to finally agreeing to wear a microphone to being involved in design and plant choices. I'm sure he was more involved than we the viewers realised but I thoroughly enjoy his input. Not only has the transformation of your garden been wonderful to see but also the transformation of your family as well.❤❤
Oh how I love that sketch! Such a beautiful plan with that little "pool" of grass and large flower beds. A hedge of Early Evolution hydrangea would look so gorgeous along the path to the beautiful Hartley. I added them in a zone 5 and they are really lovely and bloom so early. Looking forward to see how the new space turns out! Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration and sharing some of your heartwarming family moments!
Gosh, I can NOT wait to see the final results of that new walkway project!
I'm a tree Lover too. My favorite is a White Birch 🥰
I like the idea of totally removing all the grass. Seems less laborious in the long run.
This was such a fun video!
Good morning!!!!
Your property is so beautiful. Enjoy the variety of making the whole areas come together. The bones are as important as the plants/trees. Thank you for sharing whatever you do.
I so love and admire the way Laura dwells in joy!
LOVE the Raintree! The blooms are beautiful. It's so glorious to make your space fit you and your lifestyle.
The cut flower garden is inspirational. I MUST have more blooms in my life!
Ahhh! I just love Benjamin ! Thank you for sharing your children. A lot of people I follow on UA-cam are funny about sharing their children. I respect that, but your babies have given me some giggles.
The flowers are looking beautiful in the garden. It would bring me so much joy to walk through a garden like yours.
My garden is small and relaxing to walk through and makes me happy. In your garden, I wouldn’t just see butterflies, but I would feel them in my belly! Lol
Stoppp!! That view at 10:55 is just gorgeous. I'm in love.
The randomness is what we all do, so no worries. 😊 I enjoyed seeing your thought process with a new space. The rain tree is majestic and the petals dropping look like a new mulch design. Will those petals stain your seat cushions? Also, something to consider if you were thinking about a fountain in the center of your brick area.
An absolutely beautiful end project! Your excitement and appreciation is evident! Seeing the kids enjoying the pond was precious. Congratulations on this beautiful new space and wishing you many years of enjoyment with your family!
It's really interesting listening to you exchange ideas and plan the new layout. I remember you saying you were having some work done to the house. Would that work impact what you are planning now? How do you decide what order to do each project? I've learned so much through watching your videos - right from when you were working from the porch at your townhouse! The fact that you show the failures, as well as the triumphs, has given me the confidence to have a go - and now I love my garden! Thank you to you and the team.
BENJAMIN IS THE CUTEST!!!! Thank you for sharing your children with us. They bring many smiles to our faces!
