Trust me, Laura. You are the ONLY one worried that a tour is getting too long. I was like, "No, no, no! Go back to the chicken coop and show us the roses!" 😂 Just show us all the things, we'll be fine. 😁
I just have to say, as someone who's done video work, editing, filming & what-not in a past profession, you do such a fabulous job Aaron of following Laura & having the camera look at what she's showing us. I feel like I'm truly on a personal tour with Laura & she's showing me her garden. I think your work in making the videos pleasant to watch is just great as Laura's work in sharing gardening inspiration, information & insights. You two are such a great team. Thank you for a positive, restful, inspiring channel
I know the vulnerability that it takes to share all the corners of your garden is not easy, Laura, but I was so grateful to “spend” an hour in your garden this morning. Tours are my favorite!
What a great idea! Where’s Waldo style but a lush garden in every page and you have to find the 2 Orange kitties! It can teach kids about names of plants and flowers. Someone work on that!
Can we talk about how sweet it is that Laura always makes sure to mention when Benjamin helped her with something?? For being someone who had no experience with kids, she is such an incredible mom. If I ever have kids, I will be happy I can be half the mom she is.
The look on Laura's face when she said, "What is a rejuvenation prune to you? Do you know?" Made me laugh so hard I startled my husband. You two are such a joy!
if you don't feel fear you won't put out pheromones, which makes the bee see you as a threat, my husband can't believe i'll stand among bees...they just fly by me, they're seeking food...but i'm not allergic, so i'd be fearful if i was allergic
Kate D I know. I was thinking that very thing as I was planting a bed of very fragrant flowers this weekend and the were flying around the flowers. Kept trying to not be afraid knowing they were not there for me. But we're a help to my flowers. And thinking the exact thing. They can smell fear... be fearless
@@cherylpozek they can feel threatened more in late summer, or if you're near their hive...i don't approach a hive...but just in general if a few bees are flying around you it's looking for food, not you.
The little moments of imperfection (diaper, fruit snack pack, dead twig, misplaced burn-treatment jug) make it all the more clear what an amazing accomplishment your gardens are.
I've been watching for years and I can honestly say my favorite moment ever, "there's a diaper on the patio." I love to garden and I have a 4 year old, an (almost) 3 year old and a 1.5 year old. You've got to laugh! I love those moments that help me connect with you as a mom and gardener. Sometimes you just seem like such the superwoman, and you are it's just so meaningful to see the realness too. Thanks for keeping that in the video.
The drone footage at the end really shows how much you have transformed your home into a beautiful oasis! It must bring you such a sense of accomplishment and pride.
My gosh. You two (three, with Paul) have been incredibly busy - you’re building something that is going to be absolutely amazing. The amount of work that you do is staggering, and yet, you somehow remain positive and optimistic. The education and joy you bring to others, through your channel, is priceless. Thank you!
My father in law has 22 bee hives. Ten of them came from swarms this year. My husband and I were working in the yard one day and I hear this noise and I look up and all I see is a big black cloud over my head. It was a swarm of bee's. I didn't know I could run that fast. I got my father in law to go up to where the bee's was and he just walks right in the middle of them. 🤪😳. So he should have plenty of honey this year.
The drone footage was the best ever ! When ever I see one of Benjamin’s toys randomly in a video I find my self smiling. Laura and Aaron you compliment each other so well, you always seem to make me chuckle. All of that combined with the gardening content, and can’t forget kitties, make Garden Answer my favorite channel. It’s my happy place that I can count on especially when I need it.
Hi Laura and Aaron, you may want to check inside your porch wall where the bees are. It looked like they are going inside through a hole. They may be building a hive in the wall.
We had one in our back wall. Contractor said he had never seen one that large. We never saw them going in our out but we did have weird weeping on the bathroom wall
I remember when you could give us a tour of the entire property in an hour. Now, I venture to guess if you did a video of the whole, entire property, it would be over 2 hours. Now, wouldn't that be a glorious tour! 💜💜💜
Please don't ever apologize for your videos being long. You are my new Netflix! Your videos are amazing. Informative, beautiful scenery and of course your discussions with Aaron. LOVE!
I would like to see the gardens of the viewers who "disliked" your video. It amazes me that there are trolls out there willing to make money for being rude! Your gardens are beautiful! I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your family and gardens with us. Such hard work. You are definitely a go-getter! I have learned so much!!
Laura > "The Bee Whisperer." She discovers the Bees....instantly starts whispering. Very sweet! > Do Bees have Ears? Nope. But, they do pick up sound with their whole body. Laura is sending her new found hive... Good Vibrations!
It is so nice seeing you and Aaron work together as a couple on your channel and truly enjoying each others company. My husband asked me to pass along that he really enjoys the drone shots of your property, showing the different projects.
Who dislikes these videos?! You and Aaron have achieved so much Laura! Your videos are such a highlight to my days and a huge inspiration to my own new garden. Love you, Aaron, Benjamin and Samantha Grace so much 💚 you have a beautiful garden and a even more beautiful family.
@@judithjohnson2111 I always see the dislikes and wonder what those people don’t like about these videos... 🤔 The only thing I can think of is they’re not gardeners, but why would you click on a clearly garden related video if you’re not interested? Maybe they’re just haters 🤷🏻♀️
@@remiolawole3441 last year, there was a random sunflower that started to grow in one of the flower beds, near the gazebo. Laura wanted to leave it and Aaron convinced her to take it out. Now he is known as a threat to wayward random sunflowers.
My son is the same way... we give sunflowers to the birds/squirrels, so of course we will have random ones pop up in strange places.... my son can't stand sunflowers for some reason and we have a constant battle over pull them up or leave them!!
Your garden is not only amazing because it is beautiful, but because you have managed to grow and maintain it in alkaline soil with very little rainfall. It's astounding what you have created!
I lost my dog yesterday, I feel lost and don’t know what to do. After my morning coffee I checked to see if your video was up, and it was. Thank you for being part of my routine. I need this to feel normal.
I've been there too many times. See it for what it is: a spiritual wound. Be kind to yourself. Healing will come. As soon as you can, open your heart to a new love. Being needed helps.
Garden tours are my favorites. Please, please, don't rush the tours. Its probably a pain to film or edit but a lot of us are so excited to see all the plants growing and blooming. You can take your time and maybe break the videos up into parts if that makes it easier. We love you and everything you do. PS: here's your reminder to stake the delphiniums and the miscanthus. 😅
Favorite part... when Laura yelled "There's a diaper on the patio, Aaron!" 🤣🤣🤣 You guys are so adorable and relatable! And your garden looks beautiful...diaper and all!! ❤
Very exciting to watch this project evolve! I love that y’all try to find a new home for all the unused plants, bricks, gazebo, tool shed, etc. You’re very caring people and a joy to watch!🌻🌺🌸
How do you ever keep track of everything you want to do? Do you maintain an ongoing list? A planner? A calendar? I know it never ends but you get so much done.
I love the drone footage! Helps to comprehend the big picture. The absolute sweetest was seeing Benjamin’s bike just sitting on the sidewalk, reminds you it’s still a home.
I can just imagine how much you will enjoy sitting out staring and admiring the Hartley. Oh my heart, my dream. Orange kitty and a Hartley. By the way you look great. Hard to believe you just had a baby. Such an inspiration. 🌸🐈❤️🦋
25:30 LOL I just LOVE the look on Laura face every time she proves Aaron wrong!! Every wife knows that "I told you so" look!!! REALLY!!! enjoyed the overhead drone footage at the end!!!
The drone footage topped of this fabulous garden tour perfectly! I know it’s going to sound so silly, but it truly brought tears to my eyes. Having watched y’all all these years work so hard and these marvelous changes taking place. I never thought it could become prettier than it already was, but it is! The flats of flowers looked like a patchwork quilt. I’m so happy for y’all. Thanks! 🤩
I buy 4-8 plants at a time and I’m so thrilled to have a mini quilt of flowers. It’s so fun to splash some colorful flowers around the veggies garden. Planning purchasing watering ENJOYING. 🐓🐞🐿🐝🦋
What a beautiful tour. It's all coming together. It helps so much when Aaron fly the drone and shows us the gardens. I always get lost when we walk with you. I never can remember exactly where we are talking about when you go there. lol Can't wait to see your building out on the new property for the garden area and the Hartley when it arrives. Thank you so much for posting. I hope you all never get tired of this, I don't know what else I would do with my breaks through the day. lol Thank you for all your time spent on us!
U have already shot 5 videos that day!!! I can tell by seeing the shirt...and u said ur going to shoot one more...like what's up Laura...u r a hardworker!!🌻🌻🤧
Yay!!! The bricks are going. I used to think they were charming. But now with all the open space they do not work at all. It is going to be just stunning! Thanks for taking us on this journey! We are going to learn so much.
Wow watching these old videos you see how much has actually changed. All this is different now. More land has been purchased and so many trees have been put in. The Hartley, the dream stream ... It's fun to go back in time. I miss Cheddar. I think that was him that walked by ❤
I saw a big change with the drone tour this time! The bones of the new space are much more visible and its exciting to see how much has taken shape already. I can see it!! You are an amazing team! 💞💪
Such a great tour. Laura I’m 75 years old this year, my parents were farmers and gardeners. I have learned so much from you it boggles my mind, but I’ve put the knowledge to good use. Rose bushes are outstanding this year because I cut them way back like you suggested. Planting new things with an I can do it attitude all thanks to you. You have literally changed my life. Thank you.
Have you thought about putting the pondless waterfall in the bed opposite your kitchen door? Greg always recommends having things like that where you can see them and I think it would be lovely in that shady bed
@@growingwithjay1 mostly stopped sharing although I didn't garden much last year because I wasn't well. Hoping to be back to it this year (if it ever stops raining) and I might start sharing again
We're having really crummy weather here in Assam, India with buckets of rain and thunder...i haven't even seen the sun in 15 days! .. I am just going to live vicariously through your garden tour !!
This may surprise you, because I'm sure you were hesitant to do the tour with all the construction going on... but this was absolutely my all time favorite tour you have ever done! It is the only tour that I have seen you be so thorough and show every part of your yard. I also loved the way Aaron drove the drone around the driveway. It would be a neat video to just do a view of what it's like to drive through your property. Starting from the start of your drive, and driving all the way through with the drone. If you did it once a year, it would be neat to see how everything has grown and progressed... Just such a wonderful tour! Very impressed, thank you!
Wow your garden is so beautiful tells the story of your hard work. It is the paradise of an enthusiastic gardener like you who is always striving to make their surroundings look beautiful. Your videos give so much inspiration and motivation to me to keep going and growing in my garden.
Oh goodness! The aerial footage was so good I was cheesing ear to ear and talking to myself! 🤣 Love it! The Tricycle on the west side walkway was so sweet 💕
Just love how natural you are Laura, I love when you mentioned the diaper outside your house, and Aaron didn't care, and showed it to us. This really made me think how beautiful you both are, being natural. Thank you for this video.
I almost screamed out loud when I plopped down and saw that the May tour was UP!!! It’s 82 here today and I’m coming in from our huge yard projects.... and this will be a perfect break!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
19:55 can we take a moment to appreciate the west side garden (former moon garden) the transformation from plain old grass to this! Laura did an amazing job! 💚🙌
With the gazebo and pine trees gone, it really opened up that part of the garden. I can envision the Hartley you're putting in there now. It will be so beautiful. Can't wait to see your plans for that space. ❤️🌼
For Laura, that gazebo going is like me getting rid of the things I just might use in my shop and finding out I'm freer to work (and create)! Confessions of a serial hardware hoarder... ;/
One of the reasons I find you so refreshing and watchable is that as a couple and parents you are so real and honest! Needless to say your knowledge and abilities are priceless to beginners and to those of us who have been gardening for awhile, thank you both for being so relatable!
So many iconic features that we will miss but we are with you in that removing those 'mental blocks' opens up your mind to fresh new ideas! I need to get better at removing things that do not serve my creative spirit! I can not wait for that hartley!! Bravo Laura...forward and onward!!
"There is a diaper on the patio Aaron.... for crying out loud"🤣🤣 Keeping it real!! 🤣🤣 You guys are great. 💯 Congrats on all your success with your lives. Thanks for bringing us along👍 Keep us posted on the bees!! 🙌🙌
One day we will all know the correct pronunciations of names of flowers! Not to mention (lol) habits, bloom times, etc,etc,etc..with your blessed help, and the help of so many gardeners like you, throughout the world!
Loved the drone footage. I think everyone with a larger property should have a drone so your able to see how everything looks from a birds point of view. I’m kind of teasing but not, That was impressive 💚🙃
oh my gosh... tears of joy here... when i think of the first videos i watched from leaving your townhouse, moving in here, and now to see all these changes over the years... well, just wow!! it is AMAZING... i am so very happy you were able to purchase that additional acreage: so much development around you, and here's this oasis of beauty... just so happy and proud of the way you two have come in and put your stamp on this property... the drone shots at the end really had me choked up - it got me, it really got me... i feel and hear your excitement in this video so much... cannot wait to see the transformation as projects get completed... exciting and fun times, and we get to come along!! keep us posted on the bees!! maybe they're yours and they came back!! :)
It is good to see that all the hard work pays off and all the transplants are in a "thank you" mode and came back. Looks wonderfully lush and full now in most of the beds.
I really loved the tour and the extra long overhead at the end. Because you have so many things to look at it gave me time to figure out where everything “lives”! 😃
TWO IDEAS: #1: Weed by area -> GARDEN TOUR BY AREA!! So many beautiful things, its a shame to skip over so much. Also it will make it more manageable with the new area! #2: CREATING A GARDEN FROM SCRATCH video- I am struggling so much with figuring out how/where to do stuff in my own that this would be so helpful!!!!
There’s a diaper on the patio Aaron ...let’s move on😂😂 I just love it!!😂 This is real life as a mother and we can all relate. I could watch this all day. I love the idea of the fairy garden under the spruce for the kids. I find so much in common with Laura but I don’t have the money or time to spend on all the ideas so this is SO fun to watch. My projects are quite small but I love learning, the inspiration, motivation and the positivity these small videos bring!! Thank you!!
Those tulips are a success in terms of type and colours, they look spectacular along the fence and bench mark. Amazing how removal of Cazibo made a huge difference to the landscape, things got brighter and greener 😍
I audibly thanked Aaron for pulling that sunflower petal. OCD anyone? I can’t wait to see where all of those beautiful flowers go. Looking forward to updates of the college throughout the season.
Those who follow Feng Shui principles will understand why that visual ‘weight’ of the gazebo was rather daunting. It’s all about the flow of energy. I love how you explain what ideas you have as it gives me some ideas for my own gardens! Laura and Aaron , I celebrate all your success with your gardening initiatives ! Excellent video footage at the end! 🇨🇦
That Drone footage is amazing. It helps so much to get a feel for the lay of the land! Beautiful 😍 Thank you for sharing your space with all of us. I can see we all have united feelings about GA !
Did anyone else rewind the overview and drone section at the end a few times? That was a great video to show us "The lay of the land", literally! Thank you!
I really like your idea about planting annuals in the space where your potting shed used to be. You get some color this year but don’t have to commit to something more permanent yet.
Have you ever thought about building a natural play area under the willow for Benjamin and Samantha Grace? Sandbox, swings, balance beam, stepping stumps, a track for Benjamin’s trucks, etc. i can totally see them using their imagination and playing together happily for years to come. What wonderful memories could be made there.
I really enjoy your longer tour videos as well. I’ll pop popcorn and sit in my kitchen while you tour me around. I’ve got so many ideas from each area you show. My favorite color combos, a really perfect image of how large/small a plant is.. watching how they change color through your season. I even really appreciate that you show the plants that just don’t survive and you’re candid about mistakes made etc. thanks for all the amazing content! And I love that your cat finds a way into almost every video 🤣👌
Beautiful 🌹 It is so peaceful viewing your garden's! I love the drohne shots. I can not imagine your views. You are the first video's that I watched on UA-cam and still my favorite! Thank you for the education and appreciation of nature that you pass on to us! Working outside in my little space has gotten me through the Pandemic and most importantly taking care of my Mother who is now on Hospice Care....me or my husband have to be here at all times but, it eases the feeling of confinement to go dig in the dirt!! Thank you for what you all do and especially for sharing your precious little one's. Blessings 🌹❤️
Trust me, Laura. You are the ONLY one worried that a tour is getting too long. I was like, "No, no, no! Go back to the chicken coop and show us the roses!" 😂 Just show us all the things, we'll be fine. 😁
Same here!
Me, too. I planted those zepherine drouhin roses last year and want to see how hers are doing.
Same!
I want to see behind the greenhouse!
I came here to say this. I was thinking "why is she worried it's getting too long? We don't care. We will totally watch it ALL!"
I just have to say, as someone who's done video work, editing, filming & what-not in a past profession, you do such a fabulous job Aaron of following Laura & having the camera look at what she's showing us. I feel like I'm truly on a personal tour with Laura & she's showing me her garden.

agree, professionally done, i coordinate events with speakers, not everyone is a successful "speaker "
So well said an so spot-on. They really do make a great team and each bring equal value to the channel. :)
I know the vulnerability that it takes to share all the corners of your garden is not easy, Laura, but I was so grateful to “spend” an hour in your garden this morning. Tours are my favorite!
“There’s a diaper on the patio Aaron...🙄” I have never loved you more! Real mom, real family, real life, and a really beautiful garden.
You have to film Laura capturing the swarm of bees. That would be awesome!
I vote YES!!
Big yes to this! 👍
Agreed! That would be so fun to watch!
please :))))
That would bee awesome! 😉
48:14 Aaron sneaking into the shot to remove the rogue petal cracked me up.
Love your videos. I could watch them all day. 💕
Idea for your calendar: where in the flowers is Russel? I feel like those cats deserve their own children's book.
What a great idea! Where’s Waldo style but a lush garden in every page and you have to find the 2 Orange kitties! It can teach kids about names of plants and flowers. Someone work on that!
@@Daymickey and a coloring book so the children can color the flowers and kitties❤
Absolutely LOVE when Russell makes an appearance!
Where’s a publicist when ya need one!? Love these ideas so much! 🥰
Can we talk about how sweet it is that Laura always makes sure to mention when Benjamin helped her with something?? For being someone who had no experience with kids, she is such an incredible mom. If I ever have kids, I will be happy I can be half the mom she is.
The look on Laura's face when she said, "What is a rejuvenation prune to you? Do you know?" Made me laugh so hard I startled my husband. You two are such a joy!
Cracked me up!
Me too! And hearing Aaron burst out laughing over the " rejuvenation prune" made me laugh out loud again too! So fun!
Her hand on her hip was what got me!
I saw that too! Fiesty Laura!
Loved that moment!!
ME sees a mass amount of bees and get scared.
Laura sees a swarm and gets excited and wants her bee suit :)

Laughed when Aaron plucked the stray petal off the sunflower bloom. It bothered me too, Aaron 😂
That made me laugh too 🤣
It bothered me as well, but Aaron took care of it!!
Thank you, Aaron!! 🤣
🤣🤣 that OCD
I wanted to pick it off too. I’m glad Aaron put me out of my misery 😋
I’m a new mom and “there’s a diaper on the patio for crying out loud” was the most relatable mom exclamation ever 😂

How does he always know where the camera is.
"I should get on my bee clothes" gave me a good chuckle
I lol'd!! Hahah!
Me too

Yep that was my thought exactly. We had that happen and it was a huge ordeal. We had to take down a giant pillar.
If the queen is in there the problem will get worse hopefully you caught it early enough.
Yep, I was thinking where there's a swarm, there's probably a hive.
That’s what it looked like to me as well
That last drone shot through the garden was so so amazing ❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE how Cheddar follows you guys around and winds himself in an out along the garden and onto the video.
Omg... Russell sitting in the front flower bed like he's a flower was ADORABLE 🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍

Blood good could go to the empty spot near the Cupid fountain. Red leaves would look lovely with the heuchera.
I can just see Aaron sneaking out into the garden pulling up all the random sunflowers and disposing of the evidence!! ❤️❤️❤️
Laura: “It almost has a sparkly appearance, don’t you think?” Aaron “Mmhum.” So sweet! Je’s always right there supporting her. ❤️

💕💕💕
I love the drone footage! Helps to comprehend the big picture. The absolute sweetest was seeing Benjamin’s bike just sitting on the sidewalk, reminds you it’s still a home.
I can just imagine how much you will enjoy sitting out staring and admiring the Hartley. Oh my heart, my dream. Orange kitty and a Hartley. By the way you look great. Hard to believe you just had a baby. Such an inspiration. 🌸🐈❤️🦋
"There's a diaper on the patio, Aaron for crying out loud" - I love it!!!
The drone shots are to die for. Such a beautiful garden. Well done Laura and Aron!
Yes, those shots were very nice.
25:30 LOL I just LOVE the look on Laura face every time she proves Aaron wrong!! Every wife knows that "I told you so" look!!! REALLY!!! enjoyed the overhead drone footage at the end!!!
The drone footage topped of this fabulous garden tour perfectly! I know it’s going to sound so silly, but it truly brought tears to my eyes. Having watched y’all all these years work so hard and these marvelous changes taking place. I never thought it could become prettier than it already was, but it is! The flats of flowers looked like a patchwork quilt. I’m so happy for y’all. Thanks! 🤩
I buy 4-8 plants at a time and I’m so thrilled to have a mini quilt of flowers. It’s so fun to splash some colorful flowers around the veggies garden. Planning purchasing watering ENJOYING. 🐓🐞🐿🐝🦋
What a beautiful tour. It's all coming together. It helps so much when Aaron fly the drone and shows us the gardens. I always get lost when we walk with you. I never can remember exactly where we are talking about when you go there. lol Can't wait to see your building out on the new property for the garden area and the Hartley when it arrives. Thank you so much for posting. I hope you all never get tired of this, I don't know what else I would do with my breaks through the day. lol Thank you for all your time spent on us!
I love how Aaron’s OCD kicked in and he had to pick off that one petal from the Saturn sunflower. 🤣🤣 Thank you, it was bothering me too. 😂
I was okay with that rouge petal, until he removed it and I was sooo happy to see the flower without it. Lots of great, funny moments in this tour!
U have already shot 5 videos that day!!! I can tell by seeing the shirt...and u said ur going to shoot one more...like what's up Laura...u r a hardworker!!🌻🌻🤧
Yay!!! The bricks are going. I used to think they were charming. But now with all the open space they do not work at all. It is going to be just stunning! Thanks for taking us on this journey! We are going to learn so much.
Wow watching these old videos you see how much has actually changed. All this is different now. More land has been purchased and so many trees have been put in. The Hartley, the dream stream ... It's fun to go back in time. I miss Cheddar. I think that was him that walked by ❤
I love how your cats like to be wherever you are. They just hang out in the area to be near the action. 🐱💕
The drone footage at the end was an awesome way to end that video!! Way to go Aaron!!
I saw a big change with the drone tour this time! The bones of the new space are much more visible and its exciting to see how much has taken shape already. I can see it!! You are an amazing team! 💞💪
Such a great tour. Laura I’m 75 years old this year, my parents were farmers and gardeners. I have learned so much from you it boggles my mind, but I’ve put the knowledge to good use. Rose bushes are outstanding this year because I cut them way back like you suggested. Planting new things with an I can do it attitude all thanks to you. You have literally changed my life. Thank you.
Have you thought about putting the pondless waterfall in the bed opposite your kitchen door? Greg always recommends having things like that where you can see them and I think it would be lovely in that shady bed
Did you stop gardening or just stop sharing
@@growingwithjay1 mostly stopped sharing although I didn't garden much last year because I wasn't well. Hoping to be back to it this year (if it ever stops raining) and I might start sharing again
I love that Cheddar follows you around and is in almost every video! Pet the kitty!
We're having really crummy weather here in Assam, India with buckets of rain and thunder...i haven't even seen the sun in 15 days! .. I am just going to live vicariously through your garden tour !!
This may surprise you, because I'm sure you were hesitant to do the tour with all the construction going on... but this was absolutely my all time favorite tour you have ever done! It is the only tour that I have seen you be so thorough and show every part of your yard. I also loved the way Aaron drove the drone around the driveway. It would be a neat video to just do a view of what it's like to drive through your property. Starting from the start of your drive, and driving all the way through with the drone. If you did it once a year, it would be neat to see how everything has grown and progressed... Just such a wonderful tour! Very impressed, thank you!
I can really appreciate the drone footage! Sometimes it’s hard to get the perspective! And Laura, don’t forget to stake the grass and Delphiniums!
Good job Sis!
It’s such a contrast to see your mature garden around your house compared to the newer homes nearby and their flat, barren yards.
Wow your garden is so beautiful tells the story of your hard work. It is the paradise of an enthusiastic gardener like you who is always striving to make their surroundings look beautiful. Your videos give so much inspiration and motivation to me to keep going and growing in my garden.
Oh goodness! The aerial footage was so good I was cheesing ear to ear and talking to myself! 🤣 Love it! The Tricycle on the west side walkway was so sweet 💕
Just love how natural you are Laura, I love when you mentioned the diaper outside your house, and Aaron didn't care, and showed it to us. This really made me think how beautiful you both are, being natural. Thank you for this video.
I almost screamed out loud when I plopped down and saw that the May tour was UP!!! It’s 82 here today and I’m coming in from our huge yard projects.... and this will be a perfect break!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well my fellow countrymen it was lovely to tune into this state of the union address with you. May God Bless America and Laura and Aaron’s garden.
19:55 can we take a moment to appreciate the west side garden (former moon garden) the transformation from plain old grass to this! Laura did an amazing job! 💚🙌
With the gazebo and pine trees gone, it really opened up that part of the garden. I can envision the Hartley you're putting in there now. It will be so beautiful. Can't wait to see your plans for that space. ❤️🌼
For Laura, that gazebo going is like me getting rid of the things I just might use in my shop and finding out I'm freer to work (and create)! Confessions of a serial hardware hoarder... ;/
Love the tri-color beech with the yellow iris!
One of the reasons I find you so refreshing and watchable is that as a couple and parents you are so real and honest! Needless to say your knowledge and abilities are priceless to beginners and to those of us who have been gardening for awhile, thank you both for being so relatable!
So many iconic features that we will miss but we are with you in that removing those 'mental blocks' opens up your mind to fresh new ideas! I need to get better at removing things that do not serve my creative spirit!
I can not wait for that hartley!! Bravo Laura...forward and onward!!
Thank God for Laura. When I am feeling frazzled and out of sorts, I watch one of her videos and it makes me realizes where my priorities should be.
"There is a diaper on the patio Aaron.... for crying out loud"🤣🤣
Keeping it real!! 🤣🤣 You guys are great. 💯
Congrats on all your success with your lives. Thanks for bringing us along👍
Keep us posted on the bees!! 🙌🙌
One day we will all know the correct pronunciations of names of flowers! Not to mention (lol) habits, bloom times, etc,etc,etc..with your blessed help, and the help of so many gardeners like you, throughout the world!
Loved the drone footage. I think everyone with a larger property should have a drone so your able to see how everything looks from a birds point of view. I’m kind of teasing but not, That was impressive 💚🙃
oh my gosh... tears of joy here... when i think of the first videos i watched from leaving your townhouse, moving in here, and now to see all these changes over the years... well, just wow!! it is AMAZING... i am so very happy you were able to purchase that additional acreage: so much development around you, and here's this oasis of beauty... just so happy and proud of the way you two have come in and put your stamp on this property... the drone shots at the end really had me choked up - it got me, it really got me... i feel and hear your excitement in this video so much... cannot wait to see the transformation as projects get completed... exciting and fun times, and we get to come along!! keep us posted on the bees!! maybe they're yours and they came back!! :)
It is good to see that all the hard work pays off and all the transplants are in a "thank you" mode and came back. Looks wonderfully lush and full now in most of the beds.
I really loved the tour and the extra long overhead at the end. Because you have so many things to look at it gave me time to figure out where everything “lives”! 😃
Who else is with me wishing they was on Laura’s list to see if they want the plants she doesn’t want to deal with? 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
TWO IDEAS:
#1: Weed by area -> GARDEN TOUR BY AREA!! So many beautiful things, its a shame to skip over so much. Also it will make it more manageable with the new area!
#2: CREATING A GARDEN FROM SCRATCH video- I am struggling so much with figuring out how/where to do stuff in my own that this would be so helpful!!!!
Any of your videos with the subject “Garden Tour” I simply cannot click fast enough! Yay!
There’s a diaper on the patio Aaron ...let’s move on😂😂 I just love it!!😂 This is real life as a mother and we can all relate. I could watch this all day. I love the idea of the fairy garden under the spruce for the kids. I find so much in common with Laura but I don’t have the money or time to spend on all the ideas so this is SO fun to watch. My projects are quite small but I love learning, the inspiration, motivation and the positivity these small videos bring!! Thank you!!
💙 it’s really cute how your cat is following you along the whole tour ☺️💕
Laura is just the defination of 'Charm' mashAllah 💞
Those tulips are a success in terms of type and colours, they look spectacular along the fence and bench mark. Amazing how removal of Cazibo made a huge difference to the landscape, things got brighter and greener 😍
I audibly thanked Aaron for pulling that sunflower petal. OCD anyone? I can’t wait to see where all of those beautiful flowers go. Looking forward to updates of the college throughout the season.
Those who follow Feng Shui principles will understand why that visual ‘weight’ of the gazebo was rather daunting. It’s all about the flow of energy. I love how you explain what ideas you have as it gives me some ideas for my own gardens! Laura and Aaron , I celebrate all your success with your gardening initiatives ! Excellent video footage at the end! 🇨🇦
My goodness this becoming fabulous . As a gardener and a landscaper I can’t help but say “a lot of money and labor in the wonderful place”
That Drone footage is amazing. It helps so much to get a feel for the lay of the land! Beautiful 😍 Thank you for sharing your space with all of us. I can see we all have united feelings about GA !
Did anyone else rewind the overview and drone section at the end a few times? That was a great video to show us "The lay of the land", literally! Thank you!
I really like your idea about planting annuals in the space where your potting shed used to be. You get some color this year but don’t have to commit to something more permanent yet.
Have you ever thought about building a natural play area under the willow for Benjamin and Samantha Grace? Sandbox, swings, balance beam, stepping stumps, a track for Benjamin’s trucks, etc. i can totally see them using their imagination and playing together happily for years to come. What wonderful memories could be made there.
It's 7:00PM Philippine Time and I Love Watching Laura with her Garden Tour....
I am 1hr late😁
I really enjoy your longer tour videos as well. I’ll pop popcorn and sit in my kitchen while you tour me around. I’ve got so many ideas from each area you show. My favorite color combos, a really perfect image of how large/small a plant is.. watching how they change color through your season. I even really appreciate that you show the plants that just don’t survive and you’re candid about mistakes made etc. thanks for all the amazing content! And I love that your cat finds a way into almost every video 🤣👌
“There’s a diaper on the patio!Come on Aaron!” I love how real you guys are! 😂
The gardens look awesome too!👍
Beautiful 🌹 It is so peaceful viewing your garden's! I love the drohne shots. I can not imagine your views. You are the first video's that I watched on UA-cam and still my favorite! Thank you for the education and appreciation of nature that you pass on to us! Working outside in my little space has gotten me through the Pandemic and most importantly taking care of my Mother who is now on Hospice Care....me or my husband have to be here at all times but, it eases the feeling of confinement to go dig in the dirt!! Thank you for what you all do and especially for sharing your precious little one's. Blessings 🌹❤️
