My husband and I are on 18 acres and 10 are pasture. We maintain it all by ourselves and are in our 60’s. We have 6 raised garden beds in our enclosed garden, 8 huge flower beds around the house, 10 chickens/ coop, cows, a green house, 2 barns, a garage and a 2 acre pond. We do not make videos however, but it is a full time job to maintain our property! We have raised 3 children on this property and now are the grandparents of 7 grandchildren that love our farm! I feel so blessed to get to live this life we have built on this land! Farm life is the Best Life!
Oh my gosh...time really does fly...I didn't realize how long I've been watching your channel. I remember when it popped up as a suggestion, that I saw this woman out in a dirt field digging holes and planting, I thought okay...my interest was peaked. You both are just amazing and a blessing to watch, not only your garden grown, but your beautiful family! Really well done on the before and after shots...this video was beautifully edited, I can't imagine the time it took to edit it, so thank you very much for all your hard work, it is very much appreciated! Sorry for such a long comment, but I feel so blessed to have found your channel & I tell my children and anyone else who will listen about it! Have a beautiful rest of the week! Lots of love and appreciation. Kathy x Ontario, Canada
Look at how much you both have grown and how your community on this podcast has developed! Amazing! We can not forget the addition of your family Benjamin and Samantha! I also am reminded how you have included your parents and sister, brother, and Paul and Bethany!
🥀 I've always wondered, what was the tall flowering hedge next to the spruce tree? it was part of the privet hedge around Versailles!! I began to watch tours in 2020, have watched all videos since then. Its truly amazing, seeing a beautiful transformation , from an already beautiful garden, to another stunning garden.🥀
OMG you guys included footage of the first video of yours i ever watched, the circle around the rams head urn in the versailles garden!! i almost got emotional for a bit there, thinking how much amazing work you've done since then, and how far i've come since then. i wasn't even into gardening when i watched it, meanwhile now i'm pursuing a career in native landscaping/restoration. I could never thank you guys enough for how much you've been instrumental in my plant journey ever since i started watching when i was 17-18 to now (25) and beyond. does make me wonder, do you ever think about the wonderful influence you've had online? like to people like me or really anyone who at the start of watching didn't even garden themselves, yet now gardening is their life?
I think your property was beautiful when you bought it, but you've transformed it magnificently into everyone's dream home. I love this journey of progress.
I've been here since 2015 when you lived next door to Aaron's mom and dad. I've watched your videos faithfully each morning and have rejoiced with excitement at each new space and of course your 2 visits to the hospital when you had Benjamin and Samantha Grace. It's been an incredible journey to be on with you both. Loved this video today. Thank you all for making this such a fun adventure.
Benhamin's, "Ok, that's the end for me" was adorable! He is training to take over when you retire, how wonderful. Russell's acting career is on the rise. He's got my vote!!!
My mind is blown away at how much you have actually accomplished in the few years that you have been here. You and Aaron should be very very proud of yourselves , you have turned a overgrown, diseased tree/bush ridden, not make any sense areas into something SOOO BEAUTIFUL and a wonderful place for you and your children to grow up call home 🏡 I can’t even imagine what it will Look 👀 like in the next 8 years , and I’m hear for it! Love you and your channel so much, I have learned a ton about gardening and so much more!, so Thank You!!! So keep those videos coming and let’s all learn and GROW together!!! 🫶💪
Hello Laura and Aaron, Thank you for making this video, kudos to the people that called for this video; it’s the video I didn’t know I needed 😬. Firstly, I would like to say what an amazing job you have done in growing your business, all the hard work has paid off from a bystander point of view. Secondly, it gave me joy to see the progress you made has created efficiencies and comfort for you, as I hope you are around for a long time. Thirdly, I wish you continued success in all you do, you deserve it. Lastly, if you want to get rid of the name “Versailles Garden” may I suggest, because of its proximity to your house the “Colonnade” or “Portico” garden? Great video!
The amount of work to develop all 26 areas is mind boggling! And it all looks so lovely. Congratulations to you and Aaron on this daunting achievement. Thanks so much for taking us along.
I am not a commenter, but the home and garden you guys have built is just beyond words. I get tears in my eyes with almost every video. My homesite is on 2 acres, and I have a section of pasture/farm land that's been in my family for 5 generations. My husband and I took it over in 2015 and took the opposite approach; starting with remodeling of the home and moving to the landscape last. I am blessed to have a 50 x 100' greenhouse (not a Hartley-I cannot even dare to dream); but the work and love you've built is more than an inspiration. I have incorporated many items from your videos, and we're installing the 4x6 post/hoselinks all around the property this spring (I have them in the greenhouse already, but seeing your take on the 360 degree outdoor swivel is just a beautiful thing!). I just wanted to thank you and commend your dedication and work. Thank God every single day for your beautiful family-every single member, and all the many blessings bestowed upon you!
This must have been so much work to pull footage together and edit. Such a great job! I really appreciated the lighted highlights on the drone footage when calling out the different sections. Thank you for sharing. I’ve learned so much from you all over the last five years of watching. Mostly though I’ve become more comfortable with just going for it in my garden and not being afraid to ‘mess it up’. Thank you!
I’ve always had an easy time of mentally navigating your gardens thanks to your garden tours. In fact, I think a garden tour that began in what was still your new-ish vegetable garden back in 2020 is how I originally found your channel. The work you’ve put into it since then is mind-boggling to me, as a gardener with chronic pain and limitations on my mobility. Thank you for sharing so much of it, especially for those of us who can’t always garden with our hearts the way we’d like. 😄❤
You are a rockstar as far as I’m concerned. I love watching you. I have a tiny yard and at 72 after suffering a broken arm, I got a Orange Glory Maple, some Montaugh Daisies, grass, Russian Sage and 17 shrubs. I eliminated half the lawn. This year I’m breaking up my perennials to spread and give to family and friends. You inspire me. I find no matter how upset I may be by things in life, all I need is to work in my yard and it all disappears. ❤
You have been giving me joy everyday for the past 5 years since discovering your channel. You have come a long way. Things are looking so beautiful. God is good!
Wow, what a trip down memory lane. I have been watching since 2015 when you both were gardening in the townhouse. You have created an oasis and continue to inspire my gardening journey!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this overview together for us all. I'm glad you also found it fun to look back and see the absolutely incredible changes and progress in your property! It has been such a beautiful, interesting journey that you have taken us on thus far! Thank you again!!
What your channel has provided us is a continuous source of vision and courage to consider the possibility of scale. Most homeowners are provided with the contractor's special of anemic subdivision lawn that runs up from a public sidewalk to a 3ft wide foundational border planted with the token shrubs of mugo pine, juniper tams, and the one or two ill-suited tea rose or Stella d'Oro daylillies and feel sad and depressed that we don't feel inspired to go & spend some time outside. Your inspiration had been to look at stuff and have the courage that if you don't like it, even a nice, well maintained, established landscape, that you can tear it out and make it what you truly love. Its the hardscape that is the most expensive and hardest to envision; the patios and stone walls, the hedges and fountains. Thank you for the courage. ❤
Wow, we bought our house in 2019, not sure I’ve finished painting a single room, let alone major endeavors! Hats off, I should be taking notes, but alas I think I will have a glass of wine instead.
I appreciate this so very much! I have watched your show since you moved and I went back and found the older videos. It is so good to review all that has happened. I really enjoy the West Garden and kitchen garden. I enjoy everything you all do. It has been so much fun. I appreciate Aaron and you sharing your thoughts behind what y'all have done. Your show is so therapeutic!!!!!!!
The organization I imagine it takes to be able to pull up the exact footage you need for recaps... Truly first-class channel and crew! Great video, thank you!
Wow! Can’t believe how quickly the years have gone by! I feel exhausted! The two of you have grown so much as have I along with our garden and children. It’s been a great journey watching you both as I have developed my garden. So much knowledge you have passed on and helped me with. Also to say that during the Covid years when here in Melbourne Australia we had two years of insane lockdowns… you guys were almost wholly responsible for helping me through it and saving my sanity! Can’t wait to look back in 5 years time again!!!
Watching this reminds me how fluid time really is. Memories start to blend together, and the seasons of life really move quickly. You guys really have made, on top of beautiful gardens, a very special time capsule for your children and future grandchildren to have.
Oh my gosh, agreed!! I think about that alllllll the time with them. They, when the kids are grown and have families of their own, will cherish those days of old when they were Little’s.. & the kids & grandkids will be able to look at this footage for generations to come. You said it perfectly, a time capsule. 😊♥️
Loved the story! I been along for the ride, I believe 2017. I have learned so much from Laura! Aaron takes good care of his land management and family. Aaron, don't think we don't notice. What a dynamic , duo 😂.
I think it’s unbelievable what you’ve basically accomplished in 3+ short years with design. Construction, etc. plus raising a young family. The property is gorgeous and Provides many dreams come true for you and viewers. Take time to smell the roses and wishing you much future success! Enjoy the holiday season! ❤
Caught the video. I just want to say "thank you", discovering your channel has helped me as a retiree to be the little gardener that I am today. So happy to be on the gardening journey with you and your whole family, keep the videos coming!!
That was a fun video to watch. The drone footage was amazing. Loved seeing the before and after shots. You and your garden have become a true inspiration to me. I think of you every time I pull out a struggling plant or one I don't like and replace it with something new and pretty. Well, Laura said it was ok lol. Thank you for sharing your garden with us.
Wow! 💚I haven't seen these videos since the Hartley was 1st delivered because I'd already had a lot of change in my life & I'd been avoiding even my own secret gardens. And gardens are all about change. Can't believe that B is so tall. And he's working with bees or aliens now? I've been away too too long, this show was like a salve for me today. Seeds grow. Views change. Got to tend what needs tending. I appreciate change (peaceful, orderly change) & I love how L *speaks* about gardening. About how sometimes you have to give up on something you initially loved. It's okay, New life forms. Perspective (particularly the ones A shot from the drone!) Climate. Adaptability. Care, curiosity & commitment. Effort + more effort = Ah-may-ZING rewards.
My wife ABSOLUTELY loves you and your garden. She especially enjoys when she sees you digging in soil bare handed. :-) We were laughing at the end - we only have two thirds of an acre and have about as many named locations. 1. Kitchen bed 2. Dining room window bed 3. Porch rose bed 4. "Spikey" bed 5. Porch entrance 6. Porch table area 7. Front sidewalk bed 8. 4 mowing locations- front lawn, sidewalk, driveway and rose lawn 9. Memorial bed 10. A/C rose bed 11. Tool/prep area 12. Side yard garden 13. Boat site 14. Compost bins beside boat 15. Meat bird tractor 16. Compost bins - Big Bin, Leaf Mold and Skinny Bin 17. East ditch 18. Asparagus bed 19. Melon patch 20. Banana row 21. Sugar cane bed 22. Back fence bed 23. Main garden - 20 raised beds 24. Herb's garden - 5 raised beds 25. Greenhouse/garden storage 26. Meat bird/quail run 27. Logan berry bed 28. Kitchen rose bed 29. Back Porch 30. Bedroom bed 31. Malanguay bed It is too funny see the areas listed out like this. Thank you (on behalf of my wife) for the inspiration as well as the laugh today.
How amazing!♡ When I have time, I am still (binge) watching old videos prior to when I became a devoted follower of Garden Answer in 2019. This past weekend, I watched "September Garden Tour 2017" Laura talked about future plans for what is now the Pond Garden. She was wanting to turn that area into a pasture with horses and chickens, etc (when the chicken coop was still a tool shed) and Aaron wanted to plant it up differently. I love what it has become, and your plan for that area next spring. It's amazing to watch back where you started and how far you've come. The greatest changes you have made are your beautiful children.♡ May your family continue to be blessed for many years to come. Thank you for taking us along on your journey ♡
Beautiful gardens ...How much I have learned from all of these episodes, I'm looking forward to spring of 2024 to see what has emerged from all the fall and winter plantings (trees, bulbs, etc). Age (80 yrs) has crept up on me and I can only dream of what I would love to accomplish. Unfortunately gardening is on hold for a while... Nevertheless your videos get me through my morning coffee hour (+). Last year I was a winner of the garden link hose but neglected to claim my prize as I am computer illiterate and didn't check in in time. It's going to be a BEAUTIFL spring. Loving every episode of your magic touch, a hard working couple (and helpers) and loving Family. You two are the perfect example of what the American Family life should and can be. Aaron does a magnificent filming job and captures each episode with matching music composition . Anxious to see how the Little Red Barn develops. My how your children are going to love this acreage. The serene winter and snowy videos are so magical. See you tomorrow...I'll put the coffee on! 🥰💞 Thank you from Carole Smialowicz......
I remember when you had all the house plants in an upstairs room in the house and you brought a hose in the window. I can still see in my mind all the spaces that you are talking about. Such sweet memories.
Such a tremendous accomplishment!! So beautiful. You and Aaron should be very proud of yourselves. So fun to see the kitties and Benjamin. Can’t wait to see the stream installed! Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Astonishing the changes and growth but they all belong as one! We all know the hard work you and Aaron do but a massive shout out to Paul and Bethany for contributing to your vision they are an immense part of Garden Answer! Also seeing tiny Benjamin was adorable ❤️Well done post guys we loved it!
Incredible what you’ve done in such a short time. You should be proud. I started watching when you were pregnant with Benjamin. So many changes. You’re definitely my inspiration. Thanks for sharing all the history
Would love an updated version of this video! I feel like you should do one of these every year as your property changes so much in a year! It's so fun to see the before and afters!
I know it is your literal job, but so fun to see all of the original footage of these areas! What a journey to see any garden change and grow and thank you for sharing yours with us!
That was a surprising treat guys! EXCELENTE!!! Love the aerial views. I think that is a trademark of Aaron and you do it exquisitely! Thank you , thank you, thank you!!! You've come a long way in such a short time. Hard work and everything , very worth it!
What an awesome video!! I was completely lost, I really needed the update. Thanks! Is incredible to see the growth, so happy for you and thankful for the amazing community you’ve created!
This was a great video. I always live the drone footage, but seeing the difference from where it started to where it is now is amazing. To look back and see all the progress is just so amazing. So many changes and so much improvement, how amazing this must feel for you both. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.
I don’t know how I missed this one but here we are. The changes are so unbelievable… you guys have done so so so much in so little time. And, everything is absolutely beautiful! I love watching you every day with my lunch. See you tomorrow.
Love love love this video! I usually know what you all are referring to when you say you are going to certain areas, but I loved seeing the overall view and the transformation of the different areas. I also love seeing Benjamin "growing up" on the videos and now Samantha Grace. Thank you for sharing. You all are the first thing that I sit down and watch before going to work 🥰
Thank you thank you thank you for doing this! I don't know how many times I've stopped your videos and tried to figure out where the chicken coop is in reference to the gazebo or the fireplace area and just when I'd think I had it I'd look at an overhead and get twisted up again. I know I'll still get turned around but this was really helpful! You've done so much and should be so proud of yourselves. Not only do you work so hard and take us all along with you, you do it with such grace. It's a thing of beauty to behold. Thank you!
I'm a huge fan and the fact that I knew exactly each area you were describing is comical! I've been inspired and learned so much from you! It has definitely changed my garden for the better!
Best video. A great example for new homeowners is that making a property theirs takes time and effort. Watching a garden and landscape grow is a wonderful part of homeownership.
Had a very reputable service owned by a friend that was removing a tree a couple houses down. A young man died when he removed his hat to put one of those frog cloths under his hat. When the tree went down, it hit another branch from another tree that struck the young man. That limb was less than four inches in diameter. The owner of the tree service ended up closing his business because he constantly worried about his guys. You were so right to get it cleared out immediately.
I always love how you incorporate small crafty projects to do, as wreaths-making, fairy garden. Styling arrangements and some cooking along the way! Your family has a plethora of talents!
Does anyone else go back to the first videos and watch them up to date? When I find a great channel like this one I do that so I know the history of what's gone on. That way too whenever I see a video I know where we are on the property.
What a walk down memory lane! Loved listening to the two of you discuss the different parts of the garden and how each one came to be. I have longed for a complete "sky view" of the property. It was marvelous. I am taking bets that the "dirt lands" will forever be "the dirt lands." Just like Versailles, nothing else will ever seem quite right. I think Versailles is a sweet name for that patch of garden, it has aspirations! We had a shed in our back yard that morphed into a two story building, affectionately know as the "shanty." Over the years, it has continued to grow and now houses a two bedroom guest house. We have tried to shift to "guest house" over "shanty" but it fails to stick. So our guest house has taken on a whimsical and contrarian name. So be it.
I have so much jealousy when I see your garden it’s so beautiful, thanks for the reminder about your extra staff so I can feel better about what I’ve achieved with the time I can dedicate to my garden. I wish I had a Paul and Bethany and could afford a Pedro to build things for me. I don’t even have an Aaron the most my hubby will do is pick up a load of soil if I nag him for months to do it. I on your advice have been widening the existing garden beds and they look so much better.
Awe, sweet Dexter.....The "west side" transformation will always be my favorite area, so much so i have a "mini west side" that takes up half of my backyard along our fence line (65 feet) urns and all... so when we gardeners tell you how much you guys have changed out lives, we really mean it!
Wow, I’m definitely watching this one again!!! ❤❤❤What a great overview and recap of all of your hard work and beauty of your property! I’m excited to see your future plans of a hard scape near the loop and enjoy spring and summer plantings. My number one question for you Laura, “Where do you get your influence?” English gardens, Instagram, your own synthesis from a life spent in the industry?! Great video!! I truly needed the tutorial. 😅
This video was so helpful. I hope you do one periodically to track the evolution of the property. It is amazing how quickly you have created huge improvements. 🎉
Wow!! What a beatiful place you have. You both have every right to be proud!! thanks for taking us along. I've learned a lot from you!! I've been gardening about 50yrs!! Still learning!!! You two are such a sweet couple. Please enjoy your life together. My DH passed 1..5 ago and we were married lacking 2 days being 49 yrs.
I love that you call the new lot The Dirtlands. It demands a children's adventure book for sure! Also, I kept staring over Laura's shoulder and giggling at the broken pot on the floor. So close to cleaned up but not quite. I relate to that state of being 😊
I found your channel in 2018 Benjamin was little, and I have enjoyed all the progress you have made. And I have leaned A-LOT! Thank you, for all that you have accomplished. And sharing your mother and Monica!
I cannot believe how much work you have put in to this place!!!! It is absolutely exhausting to even think about! You should be so proud of what you have created. It is nothing less than exquisite. I would literally pay money just to come out for day and stroll all the gardens. I have never seen anything like it!❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been with you guys for every single one of these changes. I actually get attached to certain areas. I miss the garden by the old pallet walkway for example. You’ve inspired me so much over the years. It feels like you’re part my online family. 😊
I've been following along since you lived in your last house and my jaw drops to see all the changes in one video. It's like watching children grow, you see the daily changes but when you look back at pictures from years prior, you just can't believe how much change there has been. I'm sure you guys are so proud of what you've built. So much creativity and hard work and such good entertainment.
Loved this overview! I do sometimes get turned around with which garden is where. My heart went AWWWW when we got that little snippet of Dexter at 6:05. I remember him fondly from all those years ago. 💖
Same, as soon as I saw that white belly ~ Dexter! The property sure has changed and grown over the years, and see little Benjamin growing right along with all the trees and flowers, such a great time captured for their family to have and look back on over the years.
I remember so much of this but it's surprising how little time it took to do all of this. This was so enjoyable to get a better grasp on development and how things flow together. Plus 2 children to boot!❤❤❤ the creativeness and collaboration and how things have worked out over time. So much hard work and determination with both of you working together and watching your areas of expertise grow and meld together. It's just been such a priceless journey for us to be able to have access to your lives journey. What a blessing and joy to behold!!!
You all are absolutely amazing! Your property is amazing and I’m in awe of your talents. Thanks for the overview. I throughly enjoyed the awesome transformations!
So beautiful! Thank you for this video, as it is not only a beautiful piece of property, but now we can visualize exactly where you are. Love the big green "front yard." It is serene looking, and what a treasure for your children to make life long memories. You two have made such a beautiful and welcoming home. It's always such a joy to watch all your videos! Thank you!
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️ What a fantastic recap! I remember all of it but am in awe of all you’ve accomplished in such a short timeframe! You both should be so proud of! Looking forward to each and every upcoming project. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈
Good morning Aaron, Laura and everyone! Wow!!!! So much has changed! You guys did a lot and day to day we kinda forgot but that was a tremendous amount of work/change done! Amazing job! It is impossible to do it all by yourselves, you will have no time for other things or sleep for that matter. Isn't it crazy how we think that barely anything was done and then you look back and wow! You realize that a lot was done, I mean, a lot.! Bravo!!!! Lol, that doesn't mean that it's nearly ever enough!😅😅😅 We are so impatient, ridiculous! At least I am, I hardly ever think that it's enough done. Looking forward to it all, everything that is going to be happening 🤸🤸🤸 Blessings 💞🤗💞
It’s amazing how far your whole property has changed! For me you guys don’t have to explain why you took out trees or shrubs that were suffering. The changes you have made are absolutely stunning! I have been watching since you lived in the townhouse and you did a small corner of Aaron’s mom’s yard! I have watched you guys grow in your knowledge of gardening and your kiddos grow also!
I’ve have watched all your videos and you have inspired me and several members of my family to really up our game in our gardens. I’m always itched to get outside after watching you. I loved this overview. Congratulations on all you have achieved.
I recently discovered your channel and I am so thankful. We moved from a 1/2 acre lot in upstate NY that we made into our paradise. We put in a pond, landscaping, bee hives, raspberry bushes, veggie gardens, milkweed for the monarchs. Unfortunately our bubble burst when we learned that a wooded lot behind our house was designated commercial property. It was purchased and the owner proceeded to bulldoze the wooded area and turned it into a tractor trailer and tire storage area. I pleaded with him to please leave a hedgerow but it fell on deaf ears. We went and purchased 23, 8 ft arborvitae trees to line the back of the property. Though successful in blocking the view it did not stop the noise. I was heart broken and just destroyed. I knew there was so much wildlife living in those woods and he wiped it out. Disheartened, we sold our paradise. We moved to Florida but I hate the flora. I can’t get into gardening in zone 9A as opposed to 6A. No peonies, no ladies mantle, no astilbe, no ferns, no hostas, no delphinium, the list of what won’t grow is endless. So now I live vicariously through your channel. I appreciate the work you have put in to transform your property and understand the joy you experience. Thank you.
Good Morning!🎄 I remember when you acquired all the new property! I enjoy going on these adventures with you! You guys are putting your mark on your property! I love all the updates & improvements! I am really glad that I started watching your videos because you have taught me so much! I have completely changed the way I garden but still incorporate the techniques my Mom, Dad & Grandparent's taught me! 😃🌿🙌
I have watched your channel and your family grow from almost the very beginning and it has been such a joy watching you and Aaron every step of the way. I am so proud of you and for what you have accomplished and grateful for what you have taught us. You are a daily part of my life now and my mornings wouldn't be the same without your channel. Love that you named the Acorn Tree Scrat! Well done Laura and Aaron!
This was a fun chat about how far you have come in transforming your space. Its a dreamy place all around. Can’t wait to see the stream to the pond area! 🙌 beautiful job guys!
This was my favorite video ever. I started watching when you were in the duplex. I remember when you bought this place and you moved the bricks I think by the elm and now chicken house. Oh, and so glad to see the pallet project walk path lives on!! Oh, and I forgot, I am AMAZED at the arborvitae. You did that line and then did the church line, and I can not believe how huge they are already!
Amazing growth, for sure! Curious if you keep in touch with the previous owner or have they been around lately to see all the beautiful changes? Wishing you continued success! ❤️
They were an are friends with the previous owner. Growing up she had been in the home many times,never dreaming she would someday own it. She did a video of tye previous owners new home. It's an old Victorian home. It's beautiful. Not as much land and garden upkeep ,but staying true the Era, it does have a white picket fence, roses etc.
I've been trying for 3 years to figure out where everything is on your property!! THANK YOU for giving us the overhead view and full description with befores and afters!!! Thank you for all your hard work which inspires thousands to do our part in our little corners of the earth!
I have been watching your videos for years and enjoy them immensely. The question that has come to mind so many times is "What is your ultimate goal" ?? When I first began watching your videos, it seemed you were one of us, a home gardener. With years of hard work and sacrificing you have grown past the average home gardener and are so much more. With the size of your property, you have many options; garden tours etc.. I admire your generous "give back to the community" projects; the children's shelter, flowers & vegetables give aways at Andrew Seeds, etc..Thank you for the overview of the layout of your gardens.
In gardening, there's no such thing as "done." It's the journey and it's always changing and once you think you're on the right track, mother nature strikes down a tree or some other event wrecks an area and you have to redo it That's gardening, yo. 😀
Holy cow these people must be rich. We’ve been on our farm for 5 years and we have nowhere near that much done. It took forever just to save up the money to fence our pastures.
Considering this is not just their home but also their business a lot of it is business expenses I’d imagine. It would definitely be different if it weren’t their personal home garden and their business (which is doing very well I’m sure).
@@SeerSeekingTruth- in following their videos, I don’t get the sense that either of them “came from money”. The property is their passion and they have found a way to also make it their living. Bonus - their business is located at their home.
My husband and I are on 18 acres and 10 are pasture. We maintain it all by ourselves and are in our 60’s. We have 6 raised garden beds in our enclosed garden, 8 huge flower beds around the house, 10 chickens/ coop, cows,
a green house, 2 barns, a garage and a 2 acre pond. We do not make videos however, but it is a full time job to maintain our property! We have raised 3 children on this property and now are the grandparents of 7 grandchildren that love our farm! I feel so blessed to get to live this life we have built on this land!
Farm life is the Best Life!
What a blessing to have those grandchildren !!!
That sounds amazingly beautiful and I wish you would do videos so we can enjoy your property. God bless you both always. 🙏 ❤️
Too🙂 bad, you don't have a video of your farm and flower beds. Would have loved to see it.🤗
WOW! You should totally do a UA-cam vlog of your space! I would LOVE to see it!
Wow!
Oh my gosh...time really does fly...I didn't realize how long I've been watching your channel. I remember when it popped up as a suggestion, that I saw this woman out in a dirt field digging holes and planting, I thought okay...my interest was peaked. You both are just amazing and a blessing to watch, not only your garden grown, but your beautiful family! Really well done on the before and after shots...this video was beautifully edited, I can't imagine the time it took to edit it, so thank you very much for all your hard work, it is very much appreciated! Sorry for such a long comment, but I feel so blessed to have found your channel & I tell my children and anyone else who will listen about it! Have a beautiful rest of the week! Lots of love and appreciation. Kathy x Ontario, Canada
The video deserved a long comment on how you have succeeded! Success!
FYI your interest was piqued
oops...thank you!@@titosrevenger
Look at how much you both have grown and how your community on this podcast has developed! Amazing! We can not forget the addition of your family Benjamin and Samantha! I also am reminded how you have included your parents and sister, brother, and Paul and Bethany!
This goes for every breathing soul. When you keep at it things will grow!!❤ money or NOT😊
Loved this video..great job.
@@hannacallahan9804. No Russell was first, then Cheddar showed up and then Dexter came for a visit and then decided to have a new home the next year.
@@maggiemarion8669 Dexter was their first cat that passed away. Douglas is the cat that came for a visit and decided to stay.
🥀 I've always wondered, what was the tall flowering hedge next to the spruce tree? it was part of the privet hedge around Versailles!! I began to watch tours in 2020, have watched all videos since then. Its truly amazing, seeing a beautiful transformation , from an already beautiful garden, to another stunning garden.🥀
OMG you guys included footage of the first video of yours i ever watched, the circle around the rams head urn in the versailles garden!! i almost got emotional for a bit there, thinking how much amazing work you've done since then, and how far i've come since then. i wasn't even into gardening when i watched it, meanwhile now i'm pursuing a career in native landscaping/restoration. I could never thank you guys enough for how much you've been instrumental in my plant journey ever since i started watching when i was 17-18 to now (25) and beyond.
does make me wonder, do you ever think about the wonderful influence you've had online? like to people like me or really anyone who at the start of watching didn't even garden themselves, yet now gardening is their life?
Sweet comment 🥹👏
🌾Good luck in your journey!!
I think your property was beautiful when you bought it, but you've transformed it magnificently into everyone's dream home. I love this journey of progress.
This is like Gardenscapes in real life. I love this so much!
I've been here since 2015 when you lived next door to Aaron's mom and dad. I've watched your videos faithfully each morning and have rejoiced with excitement at each new space and of course your 2 visits to the hospital when you had Benjamin and Samantha Grace. It's been an incredible journey to be on with you both. Loved this video today. Thank you all for making this such a fun adventure.
Benhamin's, "Ok, that's the end for me" was adorable! He is training to take over when you retire, how wonderful.
Russell's acting career is on the rise. He's got my vote!!!
You were so smart to prioritize land. It took vision. Now we get to see your vision play out. 😊
For sure! Land is one thing that you can’t make more of.
My mind is blown away at how much you have actually accomplished in the few years that you have been here. You and Aaron should be very very proud of yourselves , you have turned a overgrown, diseased tree/bush ridden, not make any sense areas into something SOOO BEAUTIFUL and a wonderful place for you and your children to grow up call home 🏡
I can’t even imagine what it will Look 👀 like in the next 8 years , and I’m hear for it! Love you and your channel so much, I have learned a ton about gardening and so much more!, so Thank You!!! So keep those videos coming and let’s all learn and GROW together!!! 🫶💪
Hello Laura and Aaron,
Thank you for making this video, kudos to the people that called for this video; it’s the video I didn’t know I needed 😬.
Firstly, I would like to say what an amazing job you have done in growing your business, all the hard work has paid off from a bystander point of view.
Secondly, it gave me joy to see the progress you made has created efficiencies and comfort for you, as I hope you are around for a long time.
Thirdly, I wish you continued success in all you do, you deserve it.
Lastly, if you want to get rid of the name “Versailles Garden” may I suggest, because of its proximity to your house the “Colonnade” or “Portico” garden?
Great video!
Portico garden was what popped into my head as well. Retains a “formal” name & provides orientation with respect to the house.
Nope! Versailles forever!
I really like that idea.
🔥 Both suggestions! 🔥
Portico was already suggested but it didn't stuck as well 😅
The amount of work to develop all 26 areas is mind boggling! And it all looks so lovely. Congratulations to you and Aaron on this daunting achievement. Thanks so much for taking us along.
What a nice surprise to see Dexter again! 🐱
I thought the same thing!
I am not a commenter, but the home and garden you guys have built is just beyond words. I get tears in my eyes with almost every video.
My homesite is on 2 acres, and I have a section of pasture/farm land that's been in my family for 5 generations. My husband and I took it over in 2015 and took the opposite approach; starting with remodeling of the home and moving to the landscape last. I am blessed to have a 50 x 100' greenhouse (not a Hartley-I cannot even dare to dream); but the work and love you've built is more than an inspiration.
I have incorporated many items from your videos, and we're installing the 4x6 post/hoselinks all around the property this spring (I have them in the greenhouse already, but seeing your take on the 360 degree outdoor swivel is just a beautiful thing!).
I just wanted to thank you and commend your dedication and work. Thank God every single day for your beautiful family-every single member, and all the many blessings bestowed upon you!
The changes in a short time is amazing! The health and vibrancy of the plants is a testament to all the hard work you put into your property.
This must have been so much work to pull footage together and edit. Such a great job! I really appreciated the lighted highlights on the drone footage when calling out the different sections. Thank you for sharing. I’ve learned so much from you all over the last five years of watching. Mostly though I’ve become more comfortable with just going for it in my garden and not being afraid to ‘mess it up’. Thank you!
I’ve always had an easy time of mentally navigating your gardens thanks to your garden tours. In fact, I think a garden tour that began in what was still your new-ish vegetable garden back in 2020 is how I originally found your channel. The work you’ve put into it since then is mind-boggling to me, as a gardener with chronic pain and limitations on my mobility. Thank you for sharing so much of it, especially for those of us who can’t always garden with our hearts the way we’d like. 😄❤
You are a rockstar as far as I’m concerned. I love watching you. I have a tiny yard and at 72 after suffering a broken arm, I got a Orange Glory Maple, some Montaugh Daisies, grass, Russian Sage and 17 shrubs. I eliminated half the lawn. This year I’m breaking up my perennials to spread and give to family and friends. You inspire me.
I find no matter how upset I may be by things in life, all I need is to work in my yard and it all disappears. ❤
You have been giving me joy everyday for the past 5 years since discovering your channel. You have come a long way. Things are looking so beautiful. God is good!
Wow, what a trip down memory lane. I have been watching since 2015 when you both were gardening in the townhouse. You have created an oasis and continue to inspire my gardening journey!
It's really incredible to have watched the evolution of your property into what it has become today! It's magnificent! 🙂
Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this overview together for us all. I'm glad you also found it fun to look back and see the absolutely incredible changes and progress in your property! It has been such a beautiful, interesting journey that you have taken us on thus far! Thank you again!!
What your channel has provided us is a continuous source of vision and courage to consider the possibility of scale. Most homeowners are provided with the contractor's special of anemic subdivision lawn that runs up from a public sidewalk to a 3ft wide foundational border planted with the token shrubs of mugo pine, juniper tams, and the one or two ill-suited tea rose or Stella d'Oro daylillies and feel sad and depressed that we don't feel inspired to go & spend some time outside. Your inspiration had been to look at stuff and have the courage that if you don't like it, even a nice, well maintained, established landscape, that you can tear it out and make it what you truly love. Its the hardscape that is the most expensive and hardest to envision; the patios and stone walls, the hedges and fountains. Thank you for the courage. ❤
Wow, we bought our house in 2019, not sure I’ve finished painting a single room, let alone major endeavors! Hats off, I should be taking notes, but alas I think I will have a glass of wine instead.
I appreciate this so very much! I have watched your show since you moved and I went back and found the older videos. It is so good to review all that has happened. I really enjoy the West Garden and kitchen garden. I enjoy everything you all do. It has been so much fun. I appreciate Aaron and you sharing your thoughts behind what y'all have done. Your show is so therapeutic!!!!!!!
The organization I imagine it takes to be able to pull up the exact footage you need for recaps... Truly first-class channel and crew! Great video, thank you!
Wow! Can’t believe how quickly the years have gone by!
I feel exhausted!
The two of you have grown so much as have I along with our garden and children.
It’s been a great journey watching you both as I have developed my garden. So much knowledge you have passed on and helped me with.
Also to say that during the Covid years when here in Melbourne Australia we had two years of insane lockdowns… you guys were almost wholly responsible for helping me through it and saving my sanity!
Can’t wait to look back in 5 years time again!!!
Thank you for your humility and joy for all the Lord has done through Garden Answer! May He be praised!
Watching this reminds me how fluid time really is. Memories start to blend together, and the seasons of life really move quickly.
You guys really have made, on top of beautiful gardens, a very special time capsule for your children and future grandchildren to have.
Oh my gosh, agreed!! I think about that alllllll the time with them. They, when the kids are grown and have families of their own, will cherish those days of old when they were Little’s.. & the kids & grandkids will be able to look at this footage for generations to come. You said it perfectly, a time capsule. 😊♥️
Loved the story! I been along for the ride, I believe 2017. I have learned so much from Laura! Aaron takes good care of his land management and family. Aaron, don't think we don't notice. What a dynamic , duo 😂.
I think it’s unbelievable what you’ve basically accomplished in 3+ short years with design. Construction, etc. plus raising a young family. The property is gorgeous and
Provides many dreams come true for you and viewers. Take time to smell the roses and wishing you much future success! Enjoy the holiday season! ❤
It is astounding how much they've done in such a short time!
Caught the video. I just want to say "thank you", discovering your channel has helped me as a retiree to be the little gardener that I am today. So happy to be on the gardening journey with you and your whole family, keep the videos coming!!
That was a fun video to watch. The drone footage was amazing. Loved seeing the before and after shots. You and your garden have become a true inspiration to me. I think of you every time I pull out a struggling plant or one I don't like and replace it with something new and pretty. Well, Laura said it was ok lol. Thank you for sharing your garden with us.
“Laura said it was ok” laughing! I hear that in my head to when out in my garden
Wow! 💚I haven't seen these videos since the Hartley was 1st delivered because I'd already had a lot of change in my life & I'd been avoiding even my own secret gardens. And gardens are all about change. Can't believe that B is so tall. And he's working with bees or aliens now? I've been away too too long, this show was like a salve for me today. Seeds grow. Views change. Got to tend what needs tending. I appreciate change (peaceful, orderly change) & I love how L *speaks* about gardening. About how sometimes you have to give up on something you initially loved. It's okay, New life forms. Perspective (particularly the ones A shot from the drone!) Climate. Adaptability. Care, curiosity & commitment. Effort + more effort = Ah-may-ZING rewards.
You have created a desire to go out and film or photograph every inch of my yard now! It’s so encouraging watching the progression. Thank you!
I try to take pictures or a video every month. It’s hard to remember to do it consistently though!
My wife ABSOLUTELY loves you and your garden. She especially enjoys when she sees you digging in soil bare handed. :-) We were laughing at the end - we only have two thirds of an acre and have about as many named locations.
1. Kitchen bed
2. Dining room window bed
3. Porch rose bed
4. "Spikey" bed
5. Porch entrance
6. Porch table area
7. Front sidewalk bed
8. 4 mowing locations- front lawn, sidewalk, driveway and rose lawn
9. Memorial bed
10. A/C rose bed
11. Tool/prep area
12. Side yard garden
13. Boat site
14. Compost bins beside boat
15. Meat bird tractor
16. Compost bins - Big Bin, Leaf Mold and Skinny Bin
17. East ditch
18. Asparagus bed
19. Melon patch
20. Banana row
21. Sugar cane bed
22. Back fence bed
23. Main garden - 20 raised beds
24. Herb's garden - 5 raised beds
25. Greenhouse/garden storage
26. Meat bird/quail run
27. Logan berry bed
28. Kitchen rose bed
29. Back Porch
30. Bedroom bed
31. Malanguay bed
It is too funny see the areas listed out like this. Thank you (on behalf of my wife) for the inspiration as well as the laugh today.
How amazing!♡
When I have time, I am still (binge) watching old videos prior to when I became a devoted follower of Garden Answer in 2019. This past weekend, I watched "September Garden Tour 2017"
Laura talked about future plans for what is now the Pond Garden. She was wanting to turn that area into a pasture with horses and chickens, etc (when the chicken coop was still a tool shed) and Aaron wanted to plant it up differently. I love what it has become, and your plan for that area next spring. It's amazing to watch back where you started and how far you've come. The greatest changes you have made are your beautiful children.♡ May your family continue to be blessed for many years to come. Thank you for taking us along on your journey ♡
Beautiful gardens ...How much I have learned from all of these episodes, I'm looking forward to spring of 2024 to see what has emerged from all the fall and winter plantings (trees, bulbs, etc). Age (80 yrs) has crept up on me and I can only dream of what I would love to accomplish. Unfortunately gardening is on hold for a while... Nevertheless your videos get me through my morning coffee hour (+). Last year I was a winner of the garden link hose but neglected to claim my prize as I am computer illiterate and didn't check in in time. It's going to be a BEAUTIFL spring. Loving every episode of your magic touch, a hard working couple (and helpers) and loving Family. You two are the perfect example of what the American Family life should and can be. Aaron does a magnificent filming job and captures each episode with matching music composition . Anxious to see how the Little Red Barn develops. My how your children are going to love this acreage. The serene winter and snowy videos are so magical. See you tomorrow...I'll put the coffee on! 🥰💞 Thank you from Carole Smialowicz......
I remember when you had all the house plants in an upstairs room in the house and you brought a hose in the window. I can still see in my mind all the spaces that you are talking about. Such sweet memories.
Squeal! I've wanted you to do this EXACT video for ages. It's absolutely brilliant so see how far you've come. Congratulations on a fabulous job!
Such a tremendous accomplishment!! So beautiful. You and Aaron should be very proud of yourselves. So fun to see the kitties and Benjamin. Can’t wait to see the stream installed! Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Astonishing the changes and growth but they all belong as one! We all know the hard work you and Aaron do but a massive shout out to Paul and Bethany for contributing to your vision they are an immense part of Garden Answer! Also seeing tiny Benjamin was adorable ❤️Well done post guys we loved it!
I always thought Paul & Bethany were a married couple. The way their names flow off your tongue. Maybe I'm not the only one. 😮
@@melialei I always assumed so, too. They aren’t a married couple?
Incredible what you’ve done in such a short time. You should be proud. I started watching when you were pregnant with Benjamin. So many changes. You’re definitely my inspiration. Thanks for sharing all the history
Would love an updated version of this video! I feel like you should do one of these every year as your property changes so much in a year! It's so fun to see the before and afters!
I know it is your literal job, but so fun to see all of the original footage of these areas! What a journey to see any garden change and grow and thank you for sharing yours with us!
Everything you’ve done makes me happy thank you for sharing!
That was a surprising treat guys! EXCELENTE!!! Love the aerial views. I think that is a trademark of Aaron and you do it exquisitely! Thank you , thank you, thank you!!! You've come a long way in such a short time. Hard work and everything , very worth it!
What an awesome video!! I was completely lost, I really needed the update. Thanks! Is incredible to see the growth, so happy for you and thankful for the amazing community you’ve created!
This was a great video. I always live the drone footage, but seeing the difference from where it started to where it is now is amazing. To look back and see all the progress is just so amazing. So many changes and so much improvement, how amazing this must feel for you both. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.
Gorgeous, has been fun to follow the journey. Nice to remember Dexter ❤
The front lawn is beautiful! It looks like a plaid patterned material. The maple trees are beautiful too! The new gardens will be fun to learn too!
I don’t know how I missed this one but here we are. The changes are so unbelievable… you guys have done so so so much in so little time. And, everything is absolutely beautiful! I love watching you every day with my lunch. See you tomorrow.
Love love love this video! I usually know what you all are referring to when you say you are going to certain areas, but I loved seeing the overall view and the transformation of the different areas. I also love seeing Benjamin "growing up" on the videos and now Samantha Grace. Thank you for sharing. You all are the first thing that I sit down and watch before going to work 🥰
Thank you thank you thank you for doing this! I don't know how many times I've stopped your videos and tried to figure out where the chicken coop is in reference to the gazebo or the fireplace area and just when I'd think I had it I'd look at an overhead and get twisted up again. I know I'll still get turned around but this was really helpful! You've done so much and should be so proud of yourselves. Not only do you work so hard and take us all along with you, you do it with such grace. It's a thing of beauty to behold. Thank you!
I'm a huge fan and the fact that I knew exactly each area you were describing is comical! I've been inspired and learned so much from you! It has definitely changed my garden for the better!
Best video. A great example for new homeowners is that making a property theirs takes time and effort. Watching a garden and landscape grow is a wonderful part of homeownership.
Had a very reputable service owned by a friend that was removing a tree a couple houses down. A young man died when he removed his hat to put one of those frog cloths under his hat. When the tree went down, it hit another branch from another tree that struck the young man. That limb was less than four inches in diameter. The owner of the tree service ended up closing his business because he constantly worried about his guys. You were so right to get it cleared out immediately.
You are amazing! You and Aaron are a dream team!
I always love how you incorporate small crafty projects to do, as wreaths-making, fairy garden. Styling arrangements and some cooking along the way! Your family has a plethora of talents!
Does anyone else go back to the first videos and watch them up to date? When I find a great channel like this one I do that so I know the history of what's gone on. That way too whenever I see a video I know where we are on the property.
What a walk down memory lane! Loved listening to the two of you discuss the different parts of the garden and how each one came to be. I have longed for a complete "sky view" of the property. It was marvelous. I am taking bets that the "dirt lands" will forever be "the dirt lands." Just like Versailles, nothing else will ever seem quite right. I think Versailles is a sweet name for that patch of garden, it has aspirations! We had a shed in our back yard that morphed into a two story building, affectionately know as the "shanty." Over the years, it has continued to grow and now houses a two bedroom guest house. We have tried to shift to "guest house" over "shanty" but it fails to stick. So our guest house has taken on a whimsical and contrarian name. So be it.
I understand you !
I have so much jealousy when I see your garden it’s so beautiful, thanks for the reminder about your extra staff so I can feel better about what I’ve achieved with the time I can dedicate to my garden. I wish I had a Paul and Bethany and could afford a Pedro to build things for me. I don’t even have an Aaron the most my hubby will do is pick up a load of soil if I nag him for months to do it.
I on your advice have been widening the existing garden beds and they look so much better.
Awe, sweet Dexter.....The "west side" transformation will always be my favorite area, so much so i have a "mini west side" that takes up half of my backyard along our fence line (65 feet) urns and all... so when we gardeners tell you how much you guys have changed out lives, we really mean it!
I even squealed out "DEXTER!," when I saw him. 👍
have you ever thought of installing/making a garden railroad?
Wow, I’m definitely watching this one again!!! ❤❤❤What a great overview and recap of all of your hard work and beauty of your property! I’m excited to see your future plans of a hard scape near the loop and enjoy spring and summer plantings. My number one question for you Laura, “Where do you get your influence?” English gardens, Instagram, your own synthesis from a life spent in the industry?! Great video!! I truly needed the tutorial. 😅
I love how you let all fall in to place. The overhead was very informative with your vlog. How thoughtful you are to your neighbors is cool too.
Oh My!! What great vision and work ethic you have!! I am glad you have a crew to help. Just lovely!
So beautiful I can't wait to see the night view.
This video was so helpful. I hope you do one periodically to track the evolution of the property. It is amazing how quickly you have created huge improvements. 🎉
Wow!! What a beatiful place you have. You both have every right to be proud!!
thanks for taking us along.
I've learned a lot from you!!
I've been gardening about 50yrs!! Still learning!!!
You two are such a sweet couple. Please enjoy your life together.
My DH passed 1..5 ago and we were married lacking 2 days being 49 yrs.
I love that you call the new lot The Dirtlands. It demands a children's adventure book for sure! Also, I kept staring over Laura's shoulder and giggling at the broken pot on the floor. So close to cleaned up but not quite. I relate to that state of being 😊
And I've been here this whole time watching your beautiful 7+ acres develop while learning so much. Nice job!
I found your channel in 2018 Benjamin was little, and I have enjoyed all the progress you have made. And I have leaned A-LOT! Thank you, for all that you have accomplished. And sharing your mother and Monica!
I cannot believe how much work you have put in to this place!!!! It is absolutely exhausting to even think about! You should be so proud of what you have created. It is nothing less than exquisite. I would literally pay money just to come out for day and stroll all the gardens. I have never seen anything like it!❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been with you guys for every single one of these changes. I actually get attached to certain areas. I miss the garden by the old pallet walkway for example. You’ve inspired me so much over the years. It feels like you’re part my online family. 😊
I've been following along since you lived in your last house and my jaw drops to see all the changes in one video. It's like watching children grow, you see the daily changes but when you look back at pictures from years prior, you just can't believe how much change there has been. I'm sure you guys are so proud of what you've built. So much creativity and hard work and such good entertainment.
Me, too! It's so fun to see all the progress!
Loved this overview! I do sometimes get turned around with which garden is where. My heart went AWWWW when we got that little snippet of Dexter at 6:05. I remember him fondly from all those years ago. 💖
Same, as soon as I saw that white belly ~ Dexter! The property sure has changed and grown over the years, and see little Benjamin growing right along with all the trees and flowers, such a great time captured for their family to have and look back on over the years.
@@Michelle-ky8tn Me too, sweet Dexter is so missed!
I thought the same thing. It’s nice to find others who remember him and noticed him in the clip.
Laura how about instead of the Versaille(sp) Garden it be called the Balcony Garden? Maybe you've thought of that one before... Just a thought
Wonderful overview of your property. It was lovely to see you and Aaron discussing your land together, Laura. Aaron's drone skills are great.
I remember so much of this but it's surprising how little time it took to do all of this. This was so enjoyable to get a better grasp on development and how things flow together. Plus 2 children to boot!❤❤❤ the creativeness and collaboration and how things have worked out over time. So much hard work and determination with both of you working together and watching your areas of expertise grow and meld together. It's just been such a priceless journey for us to be able to have access to your lives journey. What a blessing and joy to behold!!!
You all are absolutely amazing! Your property is amazing and I’m in awe of your talents. Thanks for the overview. I throughly enjoyed the awesome transformations!
So beautiful! Thank you for this video, as it is not only a beautiful piece of property, but now we can visualize exactly where you are. Love the big green "front yard." It is serene looking, and what a treasure for your children to make life long memories. You two have made such a beautiful and welcoming home. It's always such a joy to watch all your videos! Thank you!
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️ What a fantastic recap! I remember all of it but am in awe of all you’ve accomplished in such a short timeframe! You both should be so proud of! Looking forward to each and every upcoming project. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈
Watching this again March 2024. Amazing what they have done! And they are not stopping! Yay🎉
Good morning Aaron, Laura and everyone!
Wow!!!! So much has changed! You guys did a lot and day to day we kinda forgot but that was a tremendous amount of work/change done! Amazing job! It is impossible to do it all by yourselves, you will have no time for other things or sleep for that matter.
Isn't it crazy how we think that barely anything was done and then you look back and wow! You realize that a lot was done, I mean, a lot.! Bravo!!!!
Lol, that doesn't mean that it's nearly ever enough!😅😅😅 We are so impatient, ridiculous! At least I am, I hardly ever think that it's enough done. Looking forward to it all, everything that is going to be happening 🤸🤸🤸
Blessings 💞🤗💞
It’s been so fun to watch your progress. I started following you just before you moved to this property and the transformation has been incredible!
It’s amazing how far your whole property has changed! For me you guys don’t have to explain why you took out trees or shrubs that were suffering. The changes you have made are absolutely stunning! I have been watching since you lived in the townhouse and you did a small corner of Aaron’s mom’s yard! I have watched you guys grow in your knowledge of gardening and your kiddos grow also!
The Lord has Blessed you tremendously! Greetings and Merry Christmas from Oklahoma 🎄❇️🎄
I’ve have watched all your videos and you have inspired me and several members of my family to really up our game in our gardens. I’m always itched to get outside after watching you. I loved this overview. Congratulations on all you have achieved.
I recently discovered your channel and I am so thankful. We moved from a 1/2 acre lot in upstate NY that we made into our paradise. We put in a pond, landscaping, bee hives, raspberry bushes, veggie gardens, milkweed for the monarchs. Unfortunately our bubble burst when we learned that a wooded lot behind our house was designated commercial property. It was purchased and the owner proceeded to bulldoze the wooded area and turned it into a tractor trailer and tire storage area. I pleaded with him to please leave a hedgerow but it fell on deaf ears. We went and purchased 23, 8 ft arborvitae trees to line the back of the property. Though successful in blocking the view it did not stop the noise. I was heart broken and just destroyed. I knew there was so much wildlife living in those woods and he wiped it out. Disheartened, we sold our paradise. We moved to Florida but I hate the flora. I can’t get into gardening in zone 9A as opposed to 6A. No peonies, no ladies mantle, no astilbe, no ferns, no hostas, no delphinium, the list of what won’t grow is endless. So now I live vicariously through your channel. I appreciate the work you have put in to transform your property and understand the joy you experience.
Thank you.
Good Morning!🎄 I remember when you acquired all the new property! I enjoy going on these adventures with you! You guys are putting your mark on your property! I love all the updates & improvements! I am really glad that I started watching your videos because you have taught me so much! I have completely changed the way I garden but still incorporate the techniques my Mom, Dad & Grandparent's taught me! 😃🌿🙌
I have watched your channel and your family grow from almost the very beginning and it has been such a joy watching you and Aaron every step of the way. I am so proud of you and for what you have accomplished and grateful for what you have taught us. You are a daily part of my life now and my mornings wouldn't be the same without your channel. Love that you named the Acorn Tree Scrat! Well done Laura and Aaron!
This was a fun chat about how far you have come in transforming your space. Its a dreamy place all around. Can’t wait to see the stream to the pond area! 🙌 beautiful job guys!
This was my favorite video ever. I started watching when you were in the duplex. I remember when you bought this place and you moved the bricks I think by the elm and now chicken house. Oh, and so glad to see the pallet project walk path lives on!! Oh, and I forgot, I am AMAZED at the arborvitae. You did that line and then did the church line, and I can not believe how huge they are already!
Amazing growth, for sure! Curious if you keep in touch with the previous owner or have they been around lately to see all the beautiful changes? Wishing you continued success! ❤️
They were an are friends with the previous owner. Growing up she had been in the home many times,never dreaming she would someday own it. She did a video of tye previous owners new home. It's an old Victorian home. It's beautiful. Not as much land and garden upkeep ,but staying true the Era, it does have a white picket fence, roses etc.
@@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq yes, I remember. Beautiful Christmas tour. But I was curious to recent interactions with all the new changes. 😊
I've been trying for 3 years to figure out where everything is on your property!! THANK YOU for giving us the overhead view and full description with befores and afters!!! Thank you for all your hard work which inspires thousands to do our part in our little corners of the earth!
Beautiful video! You and Aaron have done an amazing job of transforming your property into something that is just spectacular. ❤
I have been watching your videos for years and enjoy them immensely. The question that has come to mind so many times is "What is your ultimate goal" ?? When I first began watching your videos, it seemed you were one of us, a home gardener. With years of hard work and sacrificing you have grown past the average home gardener and are so much more. With the size of your property, you have many options; garden tours etc.. I admire your generous "give back to the community" projects; the children's shelter, flowers & vegetables give aways at Andrew Seeds, etc..Thank you for the overview of the layout of your gardens.
In gardening, there's no such thing as "done." It's the journey and it's always changing and once you think you're on the right track, mother nature strikes down a tree or some other event wrecks an area and you have to redo it
That's gardening, yo. 😀
Holy cow these people must be rich. We’ve been on our farm for 5 years and we have nowhere near that much done. It took forever just to save up the money to fence our pastures.
Yes. It takes a long time for us, too
Considering this is not just their home but also their business a lot of it is business expenses I’d imagine. It would definitely be different if it weren’t their personal home garden and their business (which is doing very well I’m sure).
That’s the first thing I thought one or both these folks must of came from a bit of money to get off to a running start like this… must be nice.
Their channel is very successful and makes great money i imagine. It is both their full time jobs as well.
@@SeerSeekingTruth- in following their videos, I don’t get the sense that either of them “came from money”. The property is their passion and they have found a way to also make it their living. Bonus - their business is located at their home.
Watching this September 2024 and they are continuing to change areas! Amazing! 🥰
