    It was such a treat meeting Laura and Aaron!!! They are sweet, humble and kind! I was just going to shake her hand because I didn’t want to force a hug on her but she took my hand a quickly pulled me into a hug🥰 I am so glad they came to St Charles and that they had fun❤️

      What a fantastic day it must of been for you to have met Laura and Aaron she sounds exactly how I would expect her to be very kind and loving I live very near to St Charles and Laura did a great job showing what a beautiful family friendly neighborhood we have! The ponds were so gorgeous a real little pice of heaven on earth … it seriously makes me want to expand my tropical heart shaped pond into a wrap around oasis ❤ a girl can dream 💭🏝🌺thanks for sharing @angelaengler2387!

    One of the things I really appreciate about Laura is that she’s genuinely enthusiastic about all things plants and landscaping. I even think that if she came to my rustic farm gardens, she would find joy in just seeing plants! She’s just that kind of person! Very real and genuine, both she and Aaron!

    Oh my goodness these are all so beautiful! QUESTION Laura and Aaron, would you ever consider putting in a water feature right outside your kitchen window where your locust tree is dying? It would be so beautiful to have a small water future there! I can’t believe what a gorgeous view these lucky people have from inside their homes! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I absolutely adore Garden Answer!

    Such a joy to meet you and Aaron at Aquascape, which was an amazing dinner and tour! Went to both the ‘extra’ gardens yesterday. Loved Brians garden, landscape around his pond has transformed the backyard! What an oasis. And tomorrow’s video will be absolutely amazing. THAT garden is truly a sanctuary! Your visit is a highlight of my summer. Thank you!

Plunge pool at end of the dream stream for phase #3?, seating near the play/game area for when the kids are older? NA you are never going to move...why you have heaven there. Thank you all so much for taking us along.

    Oh my gosh!!!! What a dream these ponds are! I had a small prefabricated pond at my last house, I had my husband and son dig it out, and I worked very hard on getting it to look woodsy!! I was so proud of it. We have since moved to a smaller home once we retired. Life has brought me lots if change. I cannot do another pond on my own, so I will just look at others and enjoy them!! Thank you for all the inspiration and joy you bring to those of us that love gardening and nature!❤❤❤😊

    I have been looking forward to this video. We just moved to our new property, which has two lakes equalling 8 acres. I have been gathering inspiration to landscape around them for recreational and wildlife, yet beautifully landscaped. So I always appreciate the pond updates and I also appreciate you taking us through the process of starting a garden from scratch since that's what l will be doing. 😊

    You came at the Goldilock part of the season for us here in Illinois this year... We've had so much rain this season that all the plants look wonderful! This past weekend was perfect with the temperature and sunshine too. We enjoyed getting to meet you both, as well as Kevin and Jacques!! Wish we could have chatted with you a little more, but it was great meeting you, Laura and Aaron. All of you are so kind and great people! We also really enjoyed getting to see all the beautiful and wonderful ponds 😍 My goodness some were absolutely INCREDIBLE!

    Thank you Laura and Aaron for this beautiful tour. I especially loved seeing the fish swimming in the streams. That was cool. Loved seeing all the neat water features and especially the views from the houses. I think I could sit out there all day. I’d never get anything done. So cool seeing what could be done in small spaces. Can’t wait to see your ponds expansion. The fish will love it and also the kids. Enjoy your trip.

    Thanks for taking us along on this trip. 💛💚💙 it! As someone who grew up by a lake and among woods and nature this was a great sight to see. I'm old and a renter but I was already dreaming of how I could create that atmosphere on a small scale. It's not so much about the size but about the plants, rocks and water running that evoke the feeling you get from it.

    Thank you Laura for sharing the excitement and beauty of these pondscapes! I have been watching Aquascape and Garden Answer for years. You both have been an inspiration! We live on Burge Mountain in Western NC. My brother has mastered part sun, shade gardening! He built me a pond, waterfall just steps from my veranda. I positioned my indoor living room to enjoy the water feature. We have great views from inside or sitting on the veranda. “Gardening in a Woodland Shade Garden” on UA-cam is my humble contribution to restoring the planet. Much love to gardeners everywhere.

    Amazing to experience these water gardens through Laura's eyes and camera. Each one so different and beautiful. I feel so far I would be over whelmed if I were there in person experiencing this tour. This was so important for Laura and Aaron to see the possibilities now with their water feature and property. As always thank you for bringing us along.

    I love how Greg loves to swim in everyone's ponds! Beautiful tours of these labour of love homes/ponds/gardens. Thanks for sharing with us Laura. It was so much fun to visit St. Charles this weekend to meet everyone and see some of these beautiful properties in real life! Can't wait to see tomorrow's garden tour, if it's the one I'm thinking it is. I told Peggy that it reminded me of Butchart Gardens!

    You came on the right week. It had rained everyday for almost a week and a half and the humidity was horrible. Glad you had good weather.

    Love it! When you retool the area by the kitchen where the dying tree is. You should put in another pond! Then. When you remodel the house, put a large window in to view it. 😀 You would ❤ it!

    my goodness...making neighborhoods beautiful, one pond at a time! love them! so relaxing and the plantings around them are amazing... so many questions, too.. do they get snakes around their ponds?? are mosquitoes an issue? when they get big rains, do the ponds overflow? how are they handled in the winter? it must be a spectacular winter scene though.. wow.. beautiful homes and gorgeous gardens!! a big thank you to Aquascape and their customers for sharing their private places... just beautiful!!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
