    Aaron, love it that you're part of the walking tours now. In the past we would hear a comment or two from you, but just like the recaps in the studio, your input on the trees, structures, ect. is really helpful. Please keep talking and adding your knowledge ! Plus, the banter between the two of you is hilarious. You guys have gotten so much more relaxed and comfortable in front of us over the years. Thanks for sharing all you do !

      AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL, WINTER WONDERLAND!
      I surely expected to see Mother Nature herself, sitting on one of your benches. The most MAGESTIC TOUR of the year. Maybe some pom pine structural trees near the pond would look like snowpeople at first snowfall 🥰 all wandering in amazement at the koi.
      YOUR APPROVED by Mother Earth herself, she told me to say that.
      Makes all the effort of planing so peaceful when the seasonal rest period tells us to " just enjoy the beauty"
      You need to make Christmas cards of this !

    Laura, the joy you have in your garden is so touching to me. When you exclaim over something, it helps me to remember to be grateful for my garden. I think your channel is inspiring because you can’t help but find beauty in both the large (the sweeping views) and the small (an individual blossom). I know you and Aaron and your staff work hard, and those of us who follow you reap the rewards of that work. Thank you!

    Laura, I watch gardening videos to learn and improve my gardening skills not to be a voyeur into the lives of people posting. Your postings are my favorite hands down. You talk fast, getting to the point. The editing is superb, fast-forwarding through repetitive actions once we have viewed them enough to understand why you do something a certain way. Your children are lovely but you do not make them the focal point, thank you. I love your mom's presence it is always in a learning capacity. I have learned so much from you, thank you.

    Beautiful, interesting video. I appreciate so much that Laura & Aaron got up before breakfast so they could show us their beautiful garden before the snow melted. I especially enjoyed Aaron's aside about the evergreen that needs two 28# bags of Espoma fertilizer 3X a year: what extreme care you guys are going to to make your garden beautiful. The entire video was like an adventure movie with plush Douglas rushing dramatically into each scene: that cat is a DELIGHT!

  • @OMV20
    @OMV20 10 місяців тому +7

    Laura and Aaron are the reason I got into gardening 7 years ago, and it has literally healed my soul from the inside out.. Every bit of advice you've given us over the years have always worked for me. (Zone 6A for me) Thank you for your videos. You guys are so genuine and hard working. Bless yall. ❤

    I know snow can be a hassle & hard to drive in; yet, undisturbed pathways & the evergreens are simply gorgeous when dusted with snow. I loved the aerial view of the property. I thought Russell was your "tour" cat but, Douglas stuck with you the entire video. He's a camera ham just like Russell. 😊🌲

    Aaron, do you ever freeze frame pictures of Laura, at 9:30 when Laura turns around and says" isn't it awesome Aaron," the pure joy on her face is so stunning and sweet. With the view of the pond in the background.
    Thank you for the tour and showing us. It looks so incredibly magical this morning with the fresh snow. ❤😊

    You know, the sumacs take a little “whip and chairs lion taming” to keep them from being bullies, but my oh my, aren’t they worth it? Every season they are beautiful. The bright green in the spring and summer. The flaming color in the fall, and the graceful shape of their limbs with the neat furry flowering heads in the winter. Looks great out here in the snow. So does the whole garden. Really an enjoyable tour. Thanks for braving the cold and wet to show us!!🙏🌲💚

  • @9of938

    The Persephone garden has always delighted me! There is this simple elegance even with its formality. It seems so serene. The benches in the cut flower define the area so well, especially with the snow. You have created such a magical space, with just the right balance between structure and plants. Love your gardens and love your channel.

    • @gracewilton3568

    As a Norwegian Forest cat, Douglas's cousins are lying beside having cuddles and watching him romp in your snow. Our snow melted a couple of days ago. It is rare to have snow here in the SW of England, especially so early in winter.

I especially love the view from above of the pond area. All those evergreen trees around the pond look sooo pretty. Last but not least Douglas sure is loving his home with your family.

  • @rangerjudi9144
    @rangerjudi9144 10 місяців тому +17

    Yes, this is something our warmer zone friends might not fully understand, but winter landscaping is a thing. I'd like to give a shout out to your willow tree, it is magical in the winter and the summer. The pond is just beautiful, like a mountain stream for sure. And, Aaron, we all heard you say "grass" for the west garden, and collectively, we all said.....YES!!! So, better order that little putt-putt mower 😆 Also, love the throw-back photos of when you planted something, I know that takes extra time, but it gives us hope! You guys are so great to hop out of bed to give us a snow tour, but I think you must like it as well. You're the best 🥰😍😘

    • @nevynd9922
      @nevynd9922 10 місяців тому +2

      Consider a Victorian lamp post as the focal point of a small garden in the center of the the big circle. It would look great during the day and awesome if lit up for a few hours in the early evening. Thematically it would fit with the statuary, arbors, and urns. Love your gardens!

    What a pretty tour . The structure of the plants are so critical to a winter garden . It really makes you want to go out and walk around and look at everything that was thriving in the summer . The little bit of snow is like a soft pillowy blanket over the plants to let them know it’s time to rest . ❤🌲❤️

    So beautiful with snow. So much winter interest, including the oak that still is holding onto it’s leaves. Sometime they hold onto their leaves in youth, but grow out of it. Give the tree a chance. Oaks are so beautiful. I live in Northern California where oaks are king.

    • @PatriciaAShelton-no6cq
      @PatriciaAShelton-no6cq 10 місяців тому

      My oaks are fifty years old. Look like they're hundred years old. Good shade,but so messy. Leaves hang on until the spring time here in Georgia. Already have got leaves up twice, I'll do another in February, which will just about do it. One more in April gets it done. If I had my time to go over,I would never plant one. But theirs is away from the house,and are in what will become the woodlands. Leaves will be expected in the woods. I was only thinking about a fast growing tree and shade. Which I got.

    Beautiful winter wonderland. I'm in the Appalachian mountains and it reminds me of a forest fire has come through here. We really don't have many evergreens like we used to. Fall season is beautiful here but winter not so much. Can't get over how much everything is growing. When Aaron said you all would be 60 or 70, I said "I'm there"! I wish I had gotten interested in more gardening when I was younger. All the trees would be mature and beautiful. 💛👏🎄

    A really enjoyable tour, your property is so pretty in the snow and now I realise why you are so particular about placement and Winter interest. Bravo to Douglas for sticking with you throughout, but he does seem to have usurped Russell - he and Cheddar are barely present these days. Either that or they just prefer the warm greenhouse! Thank you to Aaron or whoever did the drone footage...it was magical.

    How glorious everything looks with that bit of snow. It just goes to show how well you have done with adding winter interest everywhere! The evergreens, benches, pots, statues all add amazing interest, but it was also interesting to see the structure the deciduous trees, shrubs and perennials added as well. It all looks so wonderful and thank you for bringing us along!

  • @thecodydunn

    Laura and Aaron, regarding the scarlet oaks and the leaves-
    They probably will not hold the leaves until spring, but will likely lose them later than other deciduous species. Also, scarlet oaks are usually not sold as named cloned cultivars, but seed grown. (Cloning/grafting will usually be noted, as it's less common in practice for these oaks)
    So your scarlets will have enough genetic variation to behave differently to each other. I have two nuttall oaks that are nearly identical but since they are seed grown, the differences are interesting. One always leafs out much later than the other, and also drops leaves much later than the other. In fact at this moment, the early oak is naked and the late oak hasn't even finished turning from red to brown! But they will both be naked long before springtime, so give your late scarlet a moment and see what it wants to do!
    Love your channel!!!❤
