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!
You have a very beautiful place. I live vicariously through people, so please enjoy enough for me as well.
What a gorgeous home you have.
Well my friend, never expect anything less from our beloved couple❣️🥰🥰😌
Oh, so close to me! I'm a few miles north of there!
So fun hanging with you and Aaron, Laura! You guys are awesome. More to come...👀 - Kevin
Oooooo…can’t wait!!
Kevin, you need that gong dude 🙂
It was great to see you, too, Kevin!
Such a treat to see both of you interacting. My two favorite people on youtUA-cam! Thank you both!!!! It was so fun to watch. The fish feeding was fun. I thought the fish had taken a hurtful bite 😂
3 of my favorite channels in one "epic" video. 😍
Of course Laura is such a kind guest. Complimenting, thanking, and making sure it’s okay to film. She sets the standard for a good UA-camr. ❤
Is anyone else thinking that the pondless waterfall would look so good in the kitchen garden, positioned so it can be seen from the window? 😃
Yes! Especially since they have to remove that big dying tree out there.
What a great idea!
Ooh yes great idea
Yes!!!
What a great opportunity! To just go visit all these ponds and get more ideas!
So kind of the property owners to open their homes to the world of UA-cam so that we may all get a glimpse of their beautiful ponds and properties. Thank you, and thank you Greg and Laura for sharing.
The owner just said “Hi Laura😄” and shook your hand 😭 I think I’d pass out if I had Laura walk into my home and garden! ❤
He was star struck 🤩
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!
8:41 Brian holding his dog is so stinking cute ❤❤
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!
Not only are each of the ponds beautiful, but also your reaction to seeing and experiencing them are equally delightful. Thank you for sharing all of this with us.
In a decade, your property will have some dense nooks, too. You’re starting on an ENORMOUS canvas, Laura. It’s gonna be great!!!!🇨🇦
It's already Great!
@@patriciaalbertson5183 Both!
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!
I had the great privilege to go to Brian’s garden this morning and it was astonishing!!
Saturday already feels like days ago and I will be going back to Aqualand…it had been on my bucket list for at least 7 years!! I loved every moment! It was a pleasure meeting you as well. Thanks for being a wonderful human being! God bless!!
Wow! BRIAN’S YARD!! WHAAAT? He creates MAGIC! I’d love it if they’d do something at Laura’s parent’s house!!
I thought the exact same thing. Can you imagine their lush landscape with a pond? Spectacular!
Laura and Aaron Thank You for your kindness in every video! Meeting new people it made me cry happy tears because you guys represent such positivity and kindness and class. What a great collab!
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 rarely comment here but this was one of the best videos I've seen from this channel. Pure joy inspiration and beauty.
Thank you Laura and Aaron for taking us with you to see the beautiful ponds! I hope you two have a great time!
What a treat! So much fun to have a pond...... hmmm wonder how Laura and Aaron's mind are dreaming??? 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.
The views from inside those homes was amazing! Especially his mom’s house!
Brian your Moms a sweetheart! Beautiful home and garden.
All I can say is WOW! 😍 This is why Aquascape are the BEST in the WORLD 🌍👏🏽
Also I am soooo glad, you are on board & going ahead with the stream extension, on your pond! I cannot wait for the content! 👀
I extended mine, by nearly double last year & it was the best thing I EVER did, to the garden! 😍💦
This ☝🏻 I was so worried when the algae bloom happened and she said she might have to reconsider! I was like NOOOOOO, I’m dying to see it!!! So glad it’s back on!
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. 😊
How very exciting! Have fun!
You’ve certainly come to the right place for it. Good luck with your endeavours.
Hi Nancy ~ Wow! Your new property sounds wonderful. I wish you good luck & much happiness as you create a beautiful environment for you & yours.🙋
Oh my goodness, what a blessing to be able to have this opportunity! Well, I’m sure you’ll get plenty more inspiration from Greg’s other videos as well. Best of luck on this endeavor 😊.
Gosh, how amazing, and what a challenge
I love all of your videos but it was really fun having the giggle boys (Kevin & Jacque) in this one! I hope you all can collab again.
Thank you so much Laura and Aaron! And all the owners for opening their homes! And all the Pond builders and designers! Just Beautiful!❤
I watch Epic Gardening & Jacques in the Garden, too. So cool to see all my garden heroes together. Thank you Laura & Aaron for sharing.💚🌱
I truly wish I would have been able to come and meet you. You were practically in my backyard. I hope you come back someday and I get a chance to finally meet you and Aaron. The gardens and ponds were breathtaking, I have watched the video already twice and I know I will continue to repeat to see everything! Thanks for all the time and effort in sharing with us! 🥰
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.
Greg's mom's pond is my favorite 😍
Yes, so gorgeous😍!! What a blessing it is 🥰.
Mine too!
How generous of all these people to let you in and us!! Beautiful tour!! So nice of you all to have shared with us. ❤
This video potrays a beautiful vision - I can see why Greg loves his job - and Brian can create masterpieces ❤🎉the homeowners must be amazed at the transformation of their space! I am a huge fan ❤ from Andrea 😊
I’ve seriously have never thought about getting a pond, and now I want one so bad! Spectacular!!! I’m feeling so inspired!
Hey Laura, I can’t believe you’re in my hometown…wow, I hope you all have a lot fun 🤩 n enjoy 😊 yourselves (eat as much good food &desserts as you can too!)please 🙏🏼 come back often! 💕🥰💕Girl, u are sooo cool 😎!💕
Those are beautiful yards and so peaceful. Lovely that the homeowners opened their homes to all of you. I bet the aquascape guys are friends with all their customers, they seem like such nice guys.
These gardens and ponds are absolutely stunning! What a treat to be able to see these! Thank you Laura and Aaron for sharing!
What an amazing video! The ponds you filmed were absolutely extraordinary, and I cannot wait for the next couple of ponds you filmed on your trip to Chicago. You are such a gracious person, Laura - it’s no wonder people love having you come and visit. Kudos to the Aquascape team for their imagination and STELLAR installations.
All of the aqua ponds are beautiful , but Brian’s , Moms was my favorite . It looks more at ‘ home ‘ , than the rest . It definitely has the Mom touch
Yes, her pond, yard and house are gorgeous 😍!! What a treat it was to view it.
Maybe you and Aaron should start a garden travel blog! Watching someone see all these beautiful scapes for the first time and the joy it brings their gardeners is so satisfying.
You did a great job capturing these AMAZING spaces, Laura! I am just in awe at each of them. We have a pond on our property that is sweet and great for swimming in, but what a dream it would be to add on to it with waterfalls and boulders… 😊❤
Mettere i sottotitoli 😂
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.
Not to mention the Derecho! 24 tornadoes counted as of yesterday, I believe (that's the whole state, but the majority were around Chicago!
Oh my word…so much beauty to take in! Yes! More seating around your pond. Looking so so forward to seeing the next pond etc. Great job of filming, Laura. 🩵💦🩵
Combining two of my favorite things - horticulture and moving water, so brilliantly designed
Love Kevin and Jacque! Enjoy their channels and learn SO much!
The plunge pool/swimming options are fantastic! That’s a great idea for your new addition!
The plunge pool one was stunning! Great kitchen view and loved the blue tinge of the pool! ❤❤
I want an Aquascape pond! Thank you for sharing your beautiful experiences with us. You are such a treasure. ❤️
Amazing. People actually live surrounded by views of the beautiful ponds.
Loved the video! It was great meeting you and Kevin on Saturday. Living in Chicago, I've always felt limited by space, but these tours showed me how to make the most of smaller lots. Excited for the rest of the aquascape videos this week, even though I was there! - Sarah
If I had the funds I would so have this done in my yard, the sound of water is so peaceful, love this.
What a treat! Thank you Laura and Aaron for bringing us along.
It was very nice to meet you at Aquascape! My friends and I had such a beautiful time touring the gardens and ponds. So many nice homeowners. We went home to Iowa very inspired!
Wow. Expecting a massive addition after this tour.
You guys must be so excited for the possibilities with yours.
Love love love 💖💖
You need a couple of those pot fountains to circulate your water more. They look great.
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.
The landscaping around these ponds are! I am sure that it’s giving you more inspiration Laura. What you and Aaron have done so far is gorgeous as well.
I love how fresh and clear that first pond is, so refreshing!
Gorgeous Ponds! Thanks to all of you for taking us along. Such a treat. I’m a water person and these just spoke to my heart.
Those fish are loving life!
💕🙏🏻☀️😍🐟🌿🌺💕
Amazing!!!! Finally… Kevin and Laura in 1 vid…
The last one with the plunge pool swimming with the fish .How stunning ❤
Hi Guys~ Oh Laura... Thank you for bringing us along on this incredible tour of these gorgeous ponds! I now think I would love to have a pond with koi installed on my property now that I have seen more of what is possible. I love yours & Aaron's pond, but this video has enticed me further.
I do hope you & Aaron enjoyed every minute of this trip. Safe travels! Thanks again! 🙋
Welcome to my home state of Illinois! Glad you enjoyed the hospitality! Yes, we are very green and lush this time of year!
Oh my goodness they’re all gorgeous and because I can’t pick just one, I want all those ponds in my backyard. ❤❤❤
Brian does have a great job! So wonderful seeing you and Aaron out enjoying yourselves in a different setting. The ponds and gardens are spectacular. ☺️
This is so fun! Thank you for taking us with you! Love seeing it through your eyes. Did you get so many ideas for your build? you hit a good week, as far as weather. We have had such a hot summer in IL, but have enjoyed cooler temps this last week.
Oh my goodness, I don't think I would ever want to be inside with such gorgeous views from the windows. Such great work.
The properties were breathtaking, and the ponds are phenomenal. The man is genius with pond design. What a fun group to go touring with. Can't wait to see the other videos.
Thank you so much for bringing us along on such a fun, pretty, & inspiring tour!!! I kept watching, smiling through almost of the whole video, just enjoying all the beautiful views, enthusiasm, and kind people! (Special shout out to those who opened their homes and yards to the internet, as well as to you for being willing to film and speak throughout the tour when I imagine a voiceover would have been a much easier option) Thanks again!
I'm in just a rowhouse with not much yard. I can't imagine having one of those ponds. How lucky and blessed they are. I'd give anything to have just a small pond!
I had a small backyard and got a formed plastic pond liner with a small waterfall that my grandma's neighbor was going to throw away. So it went into a corner and I called it my grotto. Some feeder fish from the pet store and plants inside and around it. It was great and the fish had natural food, dragonflys showed up the second year...it was magical.
What amazing ponds and gardens! So glad you and Aaron were able to get away. Looking forward to your next build! ❤
What a wonderful group of people. Thanks for taking us along! Such beautiful properties! The stream at the end gave me some Laura/Aaron stream vibes. How exciting!
You would not need to vacation anywhere else. The ultimate pond retreat is right in your backyard!!! Thank you for bringing the value of a water feature into our consciousness. This truly is life changing.
Wow! They were amazing! I didn't want the video to end. Thank you so much for sharing! Loved it! ❤
Brian is a true genius 😊
This was an amazing tour. Laura are you and Aaron rethinking what you want for the dream stream? Maybe a plunge pool as well or the deep section for the kids to swim more? More seating areas?
Very inspiring pond designs! The pride of ownership was evident.
I love this so much thanks for sharing I love seeing you and Aaron, Kevin and Jacques and Greg, Ed, and Brian all of my favorite gardeners and pond guys! Each pond is lovely and unique to the owner.
Oh, how I loved this "field trip!" Thank you for taking us along. Those waterfalls and the landscaping are so inspiring. 🌿🌸🌿💦
What a great trip! The ponds are beautiful and love the sound of the falls!
The ponds are unbelievably beautiful. Such a treat. Thank you.
Oh my, you and Kevin together. I cannot wait to see his video as well. Seeing two perspectives will be so great. The pods are so beautiful 🩷.
Yes, looking forward to seeing his video as well. The fish really did like him 😅.
Loved each and every pond. I have a teeny tiny pond in my postage stamp size yard. It includes a small waterfall. We love the sound of the water. We tried having fish, but the raccoons thought it was a restaurant. So now we just have mosquito fish. Thank you for showing us all these amazing homes. You did a wonderful job showcasing them. Can’t wait to see the last one.
Good Morning! 🏝 How exciting & a treat to see other ponds! A great inspiration trip!! I am in love with all those ponds! Thank you to all the pond oweners for letting us enjoy their ponds!! ✈️💦🥰🤩🩵
Thank you to the home owners for sharing their beautiful property to Laura and Aron and allowing us to see. Absolutely beautiful. I love the 2nd property with the big windows what a fantastic view to see. But all the property’s we’re beautiful. What a great video to wake up to
Oh wow!!!! Beautiful gardens, and beautiful water features!! Could sit and watch these all day! Thank you Laura &Aaron, and thank you Aquascapes team! Beautiful!!
💜🎶Good Morning Garden Answer ... Thanks so much for taking us along .. I love water .. Aaron I wonder it you could start a drone video of your garden from the beginning of the driveway .. that's what I notice in each place is the walk upto the house ... the excitement builds .. no pressure 😎💜🎶🇨🇦
Omg! What an imaginative, amazing yard, it’s so luxurious. He made his house more beautiful than a resort destination. Ok, I want a pond now 😂. We ride our bikes in Woodstock! Thank you for your video!
Hi Laura! Thank you for sharing the ponds (one can dream)!!!🥰 At the end of your video by the hotel it looks like the bridge in St. Charles crossing the Fox River if that is where you stayed it is lovely there. Enjoy
It was a dream meeting Laura, Aaron and the Aquascape team at the meet & greet! Can’t thank you enough for putting it all together and allowing us the opportunity to say hi and tell you how much you mean to us!!! We’re blessed!❤
Yes, I agree with Aaron. There should be more secret sitting areas in your garden and now looking at this ponds, it would be incredible another pond in the south garden as well. Thanks Laura for showing us this beautiful ponds. Can't wait to see the next video.
What a treat❤Each one is distinctive and so natural!
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!
Praying that you and Aaron aren’t trapped in an airport trying to get back home. This was an amazing video. Can’t wait to see the next, and next. These tours must have been very inspiring. I think you should add the “stacked spill pots”. I’d love to see more seating at your pond also. Lol…Arron’s comment/look. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
How fun! I am so glad you got to do this and how cool to get a look at these beautiful ponds and properties with you two. 💙🐢🐠
Laura’s parents ought to put in one of theses off her new addition of her remodel. She has the space for it!
Such gracious hosts…. Great to see Kevin and Jacques from epic gardening there also as well as Greg and Brian and the other pond guys. So much inspiration for you and Aaron to pull from.
Can we expect to seeing more seating around the pond back at home?😂
It was so much fun watching you and Kevin interact. I can't wait to see his perspective on the same space. I also can't wait to see what ideas you plan to incorporate in your area this fall.
Oh my! I have to watch it all again....so many wonderful, beautiful spaces. What amazing ponds and lovely people. Great job everyone!!
All the ponds are spectacular....I think Brians is my fave ,just the lushness of the plants makes it so natural.
Laura and Aaron are the best!!!! There are no words to describe these ponds/ outdoors except.....Magical
