In New Zealand we have these as Monarch caterpillar food trees (they can grow into trees if left). We call them Swan plants. The seed pods look like swans - so the stem that attaches to the main plant is the neck and the pod is the swans body. They have a heap of seeds inside which are attached to silk type fly-aways... (keep one to open in Autumn/Fall) The Monarch caterpillars usually strip the plant of all of its leaves and most people need to buy more plants to feed them..lol Pip from New Zealand
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your blog, I fell into your blog accidentally. One day I was just thinking about my mother and the memories that we had when I came across it one day and started watching it and I had to watch everyone of your videos. I wanted to let you know that I am a 56-year-old woman that lost her mom when I was in my early 30s and so I was not able to learn through experience about gardening and flowers from my mom. I so enjoy seeing videos of you doing things with your mother and the friendship and closeness that you two share. I have learned so much from your videos about gardening, you have helped me be able to bring my mom back alive in my flowers and in my garden. I love working in the dirt because I feel like it brings me closer to my mom, I can’t thank you enough for what you were doing, for the kindness of your heart and the positive atmosphere that you have. I know with your growing family it is hard to do these videos but please know that you have helped me bring back the tender moments from my mom and remember the things that we did do while she was here on this earth.
We have two little girls who watch with me and I always comment, "Isn't Miss Laura lovely, girls?!" "Oh, she handled that situation with such grace didn't she?!" Miss Laura, thank you for being such a wonderful role model--not just for our children, but for me as well.
"I KNOW!" ...I do too! I feel like I miss her when I can't get to a video! She's one of my BEST FRIENDS! I got to go to her mom's nursery for Mother's Day and walked around hoping to see her. Hubby bought me DA Roses!!!
@@dryb3301 Laura was giving a garden tour and presenting the plans....and noticed a Sunflower came up on its own...and Aaron walked over and Plucked it out of the ground....LOL....Laura called him a Sunflower murderer...........it was so funny! Laura did acknowledge it did look better without it......I love him humor!
Anyone else notice how awesome the playlists of the years have been reorganized?! (Thanks Erin!) I was scrolling down years bc I’ve been watching y’all from ‘beginning to end’. Best UA-cam channel I’ve ever come across 😍
We sure do but we could show it by spelling his name correctly. No harm meant, I'm sure, but no one likes to have their name constantly misspelled or mispronounced. Although, Aaron is pretty good natured so, he'd probably never say anything.
Anyone remember when this side of the garden was sloping toward the edge of the property and constisted of grass? Also who remembers that big random piece of concrete they pulled out somewhere over there? As always, great video!:*
I’m sad to hear you’re not into the moon garden. It’s beautiful, even at this first stage/season. You have so much colour everywhere else and the daytime white garden is carried by the structure. The WOW when overcast or in the evenings is worth it. Like all the work that goes into Christmas lights. I hope you give it a little more consideration over the winter and review video over time. It’s so very pretty
💚🦋🐝🌸Good morning to all, and Laura and Aaron! Having my coffee with this wonderful “community” and seeing all the beautiful plants and trees bolsters my hope for the world! Thank you, Laura and Aaron. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! 🌻🌼☕️💜
Laura, you inspired me to plant mostly white flowers on my back patio! I did that because we sit out there mostly at night during the summer and it has been a good move, like you said they totally glow at night with our torches and lights! Thank you!!!!
Lorrie I don't know if you are in the USA or somewhere else but gardenia is an amazing plant with very fragrant white flowers. If you ever buy it just place the pot in a shady spot and don't move it around.
Laura you are looking great and so is the yard! Such an inspiration. I wanted to compliment Aaron too, I don't think people realize he is a big part of why your videos come across so professional. You are a great team and he knows exactly how to shoot you and exactly how to best show off what you are trying to describe at the moment. I hope you do some videos on plants other than Colorado blue spruce that are great blue foliage plants for the garden. I'm in zone 7 and blue spruce are not doing well here and the more reputable garden centers will not even sell them. They are so beautiful in your yard and I, like you, like the blue, green, red, yellow foliage groupings but it's hard to do without the blue spruce!
I'd love to hear what your mother thinks when she is ordering plants for the store. " I better get extras of this or that because Laura is going to love them?"
@@joanward7390 Boy would it be tough to be a neighbor of Laura's. No matter what you planted it would never be as awesome as her yard! But she's so nice, you probably wouldn't mind. Lol.
I certainly love seeing perfectly growing plants and flowers but I don’t learn anything. When you have problems in your garden and deal with the reasons for them, then I learn so much. I know you would love to see everything just perfect but the videos about diagnosing and treating problems in your garden are my favorites.. I’m old enough to be your grandma but I’ve learned so much from you guys over the last few years, thanks Laura and Aaron!
It looks nice in the video becus it's overcast.. but I saw it in a another video and it does look quite dry.. I do agree tho that the white blooms look lovely with the darker foliage
@@gardener6904 I've not seen that white garden.. will look it up.. yes it's probably becus of the layout.. brtish gardens tend to have large tight formal hedges creating smaller rooms.. white will probably look better against that dark green backdrop.. it may even create a bit of shade..
@@gardener6904 yes when they grow taller it will create shade.. but that means that they would anyway hv to move the full sun plants and add shade ones..
My "Hairy Balls" are doing great....I love to show visitors this plant, quite the conversation piece, especially when I tell them it's name!!! Laura, this garden is just beautiful, I understand your need for more color, but so understated and peaceful with the white and minimal plants. You are my inspiration, my garden would not be what it is without your channel, I watch it everyday and I cannot tell you how much I have learned from you, I even now know several "scientific names" of plants, which I find myself using all the time, you have made me feel smart. 🌻🌿🌸🌳
Hi from Colorado, we're also dealing with the wild fire smoke. Prayers to all who are dealing with it locally, and the firefighters❤ I'm glad you're bringing more color to the west side. I envision many shade of purple and blue, mixed with the white to cool it down. Overall it's a very peaceful space, love the structure and soft elegant feel! You're amazing, and so inspire my garden. Thank you both for dedicating your life to the talents God has given. And to Aaron for really exploring the technical side of your property. You guys make a great team!🙌💗
Time away from your more established gardens, due to the ongoing focus on the new area and your pregnancy inconveniences this spring have actually afforded your viewers something special: we are seeing and hearing about little areas that allow you to show us more about the summer grooming of plants. Your gardens always seem so perfect, and ours don't always! Having you coach us on how and what to do is a great benefit.
Such a peaceful walk for my coffee with Laura and Aaron, Russell, and Cheddar. I just love your honesty Laura in telling us how you forgot to look at some plants for awhile or that you missed seeing something come on like the spider mites. It is great that you show exactly what it is and how to take care of it! By the way you could call that plant a balloon plant instead of the other common name that cheeky Aaron tried to get you to say LOL Hope the smoke clears out soon as that is no fun to be out in and I know you will be careful but please watch the air quality when you will be out so that you are not out during the bad time. Last year we had to limit the amount of time the children could be out on the playground because the smoke was so bad from fires around us up in Washington state. Take care.
I think that space is crying out to be a Rose Garden. Hybrid Tea Roses are so beautiful and would look so delightful in floral arrangements My moon garden was in the shade and surprisingly my petunias bloomed and even reseeded themselves. I love little surprises like that. I can understand how white would not be as dramatic in the sun.
Hello Laura, I live in Victoria Australia, our state was desimated by bush fires in January of this year. Please know I send your state every good wish for all of your safety especially for the firefighters who risk their lives for every one. Sending you love and my thoughts during this time.
Good morning! I love your west side garden. For me it's so polished and orderly. I love the brick walkway and the gravel driveway. I don't know how you do it, you seem to have unlimited energy and look so pretty doing this. The 100 degree weather would do me in!! Lol!
@@GardenerPhyl These look like what we in NZ plant for food for monarch butterflies. Are they a type of milkweed. We call them swan plant. If you pick the seed heads they have a long curving stem. As kids we used to float them on water. They look a bit like little swans.
thank you so so much for showing the spider mite damage up close ! i had no idea and now i know i have them uuuuggg. oh and grabbing the hairy balls lol yea i said it !
I ❤️❤️❤️you guys! You have the sweetest, kindest personality! I never miss a video. I love that you’re so particular about everything you do. You remind me of a younger version of myself. I love to work and see my accomplishments too. Side note: I know you can hear the building noise, and that is a slight irritant to you. Maybe Aaron does something to quieter down while editing? But honestly, your viewers can barely hear it😊 Thank you for sharing your life with all of us!!
I love color, but sometimes it nice to have an area to let your brain relax. To me, all the different whites and greens look soft and comfortable, like a fluffy down blanket.
I’m in the Central Valley in California and we are LITERALLY surrounded by fire so I totally understand the “ smoke” haze. It’s like the apocalypse is happening in California. Be safe! Oh btw I’m still planting regardless !!!❤️🍁🍓🍀🍄🌴🔥🔥🔥🔥
West Moon Garden is my favorite area against the brick path. Would miss it’s singular allure if changed from the special place to enjoy in the summer evening! Ethereal is necessary for balance in life. Thank you for the gift of perfection you share daily.
Here in New Mexico we're having wildfires also. Our air quality is so bad we have a health warning. Keeping you forest and firefighters in my prayers 💚
I love every part of your moon garden, I love color too but I think you have knocked it out of the ball bark with a lovely, peacefu,l heaven like, space.
When you started talking about making that whole area as a moon garden i was not very thrilled at all specially being a person that just can't pick favorite color so my gardens have everything in them,but after seeing the end result of your garden i am so totally in love with all white theme and can not wait for next season to implement this in my yard. It looks amazing!
Nina Will I love it too.I always pick a White over any other colour.Therefore my garden is white with a touch of pink.However since watching GA I am now including a touch of blue.Don’t you just love this Chanel?
@@joycefinney2735 i have been GA fan for many years now, it is part of my daily routine, i wake up, make coffee and watch GA, then whole world can fall apart but that is first order of business for the day :*) Best channel of all by far.
I love your Moon garden. In Florida I had a yard that was all green in the back and adding white blooms made it so enjoyable after sun set. Your gardens are always amazing!
Hi dear Laura! Greetings from Ukraine! Love your channel a L O T ))) You gave me so mych joy, inspiration and fun! It unvalueavle especially at this strange times. Got an idea about urns in the moon garden. Maybe short varieties of dahlias would be match this place. Especially with different type and colour of folliage. Anyway whether it fit for you or not i will always love your garden! May i wish you the best of health and happiness and further success in your activities))))
Oh those gophers! Just made me heartsick when you said they ate all around the crabapple😢. And spider mites also. It's a constant battle isn't it. I had aphids this summer I was fighting. And Laura, you always look lovely no matter if it gets to a hundred and five. We can't tell on the video. ️ ❤️
Hey Laura, will we ever get a video meeting Chris? Or maybe videos of Chris and/or Aaron teaching us about drip, small gardening projects, maintenance, etc. Would love to see some segments like "Aaron's Drip Corner" or "Garden Secrets with Chris." I'm all for taking some pressure off of you, especially as you get further into this pregnancy!
I am really enjoying the smaller tours. It has been easier to take it all in and not be overwhelmed. The space looks so beautiful, but you have to love it. Looking forward to you creating the moon garden on a smaller scale in the shade.
AAAAHAHA, right when I saw the gomphocarpus ( which I totally didn't remember that name), I started laughing. Remembering the video when Laura was so shock by it's common name, Hairy Balls.
@@New.phone.who.dis1286 Her June 7, 2020 video " Planting a few things I've never grown before". Watch it you will laugh so hard from Laura's reaction of the plant name.
When you first described the idea of a west side moon garden I didn’t think I’d like it; now seeing it so full of blooms and different textures I really like it!! It compliments the formality of the walkway and urns. No matter what you do it turns out beautiful and inspiring.
Yes I understand your feeling that a moon garden is not the best in a full sun position. That's why I gave you my vote for the moon garden close to your house. Praying the fires stay very far away.
AGAIN Laura, You delight me! My Husband is a 20+ year USAF veteran. He does not have the polite filter gene your husband has. LOL Have to tell you...you saved my Rose of Sharon. If it wasn't for you, I would even know what chlorosis was. Iron-Tone to the rescue. TY TY TY Plus I'm adding Groundhog Aronia to my problem area with some Black-eyed-Susan's. Can't wait. The pollinators on my Rose of Sharon are incredible. Stay hydrated young friend. Cathy M/PA
I would love to see a video where you talk about the wildlife you see in your garden and what your thoughts are on animal habitats within garden spaces.
I know you’ve already planted it up, but a moon garden would be beautiful on the side of the house near the new walkway and circle. I hope you decide to try it again on a smaller scale in a shaded area sometime in the future! 💗💜💗
I call that plant a 'swan plant', the one with the green seed pods. The monarch butterflies love it. The seed pods are crammed with fluffy seeds. They are shaped like swans. I'm in New Zealand.
I love the white. I appreciate the colors. I love the sun flowers. I have even seen a neighbor cover their front yard in mostly sunflowers and other flowers. And pink roses are really nice in a garden. But, snow white brings me such peace. I don't think that I will change my mind about it. I do know the feeling of constantly rearranging things to find the perfect place for them. Once I find the perfect spot that works I am so happy about it. Blessings.
Sorry you’re having wildfires and having to deal with smoke in the area, but the green and white really look beautiful and fresh in the video. The urns look gorgeous! Love the leaf shape on those pumpkin vines. 💚🤍
Hi.. would you like to see my real Brahma Kamal🌷 flower from my garden ua-cam.com/video/5KHPPIb2oe4/v-deo.html🌷🌸 queen of the night, lady of the night as its beautiful lotus like flower blooms late night. In India it is called as brahma Kamal and is treated as a sacred plant.🌷🌻🏵 hope you like it 🌼🌸
I originally wanted this to be a white garden. However, now I agree that would be better suited in a shadier, more intimate area of the garden. This area of your garden may be my favorite. I like the structure of the maples and boxwoods, the hardscape of the brick path and urns and the site-lines into the veg garden. My suggestion- since you will be using more color interest, keep the urns simple. Just one vertical plant per urn. Those urns are too beautiful to be covered up.
I’m having such a tough time with spider mites this year too it’s a huge bummer ☹️ I’ll be happy to see how you take care of such a big problem in your garden

So so beautiful. My plants not doing as well this year. Stayed cool to long,not to hot,no rain now. My moved pots around today to get away from so much sun. Your gardens and your mother-in-laws flowers were georgous. Love,love ! You do a great job. My favorite !!
Gardens like yours is what I strive for! Y’all have an amazingly beautiful place and your Maple Trees have gotten big quick! Very beautiful trees. I appreciate the structure and how y’all have everything in layers. Very beautiful and god bless.
There’s nothing like a WWE Kitten Smackdown in the middle of the Moon Garden! 😏😼😾🌙🌿 Hang in there with the forest fires. Ours in Colorado are so bad that they’ve closed I-70 from near Vail to Glenwood Springs.🥺 Shout out to all firefighters! xoxo Christine in smoky CO
I swear you are a mind reader, every time I think "I wonder how this part of the garden is doing:" I wake up the next day and there's my update! Thank you for sharing as much as you have, I am obsessed with moon gardening and am trying to create my own on my new property, and seeing your journey made me realize that I still love moon gardening, but I think I would also prefer it to be in a shadier/part sun area, which is the opposite side of the house I was planning on. Could you possibly do a video on all white part sun/shade plants for the spring?
We have so much shade in our yard that I use mostly white flowering plants and shrubs. Lots of azaleas, impatiens, geraniums and begonias. Snow hydrangeas. Structure with arborvitae . Rosemary, camellias, gardenias, jasmine. Daffodils and lilies. I usually have something blooming here in north Georgia. I love your videos. I learn so much.
Lovely idea to curate a celestial-inspired floral area... If I had the space I might've tried something similar in a circular white area, surrounded by multicoloured patches for contrast...
LOL! "I will not say something so indecent on our channel!" ooh Laura I just love your wholesomeness
Aaron just wants someone to say it... HAIRY BALLS!!! 😂 but I must say.. Those textured pods are NOT what I expected them to look like!! Loving them!!
In New Zealand we have these as Monarch caterpillar food trees (they can grow into trees if left). We call them Swan plants. The seed pods look like swans - so the stem that attaches to the main plant is the neck and the pod is the swans body. They have a heap of seeds inside which are attached to silk type fly-aways... (keep one to open in Autumn/Fall)
The Monarch caterpillars usually strip the plant of all of its leaves and most people need to buy more plants to feed them..lol
Pip from New Zealand
I immediately googled it as well. Appropriately named for sure
Swan Plant or Milkweed is a great name for it too...
We had these at work along one side of a building and they were FULL of Monarch chrysalis. We had butterflies galore that year.
They are so much fun to grow. Children were thrilled with the number of caterpillars they attracted.

I'm so glad you've decided to add color to this area!
I’m in the Central Valley in California and we are LITERALLY surrounded by fire so I totally understand the “ smoke” haze. It’s like the apocalypse is happening in California. Be safe! Oh btw I’m still planting regardless !!!❤️🍁🍓🍀🍄🌴🔥🔥🔥🔥
Take care of your lungs, Autumn! That smoke and ash is quite damaging.
Aaron is an instigator! Googled the common name of the gomphocarpus and fell out my chair ... thank you because I needed that belly laugh! 🤣
I love touring your garden while your kitties wrestling and Aaron’s sense of humor are a bonus. Love your channel!
Gm wow all those white blooms everywhere your west side garden is amazing 😍😍😍, let me go back and watch it in peace with my Tea ☕️🤩🤩🤩.
I’m up early watching 😁😁
I’m having coffee ☕️ enjoying this one 😊
Hey 👋 I recognize your name!
West Moon Garden is my favorite area against the brick path. Would miss it’s singular allure if changed from the special place to enjoy in the summer evening! Ethereal is necessary for balance in life. Thank you for the gift of perfection you share daily.
Here in New Mexico we're having wildfires also. Our air quality is so bad we have a health warning. Keeping you forest and firefighters in my prayers 💚
Gardening is a learning curve. I’m taking pictures this year so I will know what I need to get rid of next spring
I understand if you don't want the moon garden, but it sure is beautiful. It inspired me to find a place to have one.
I love every part of your moon garden, I love color too but I think you have knocked it out of the ball bark with a lovely, peacefu,l heaven like, space.
Oh Laura! I just love you! You are such a graceful lady! May God continue to bless you always.
When you started talking about making that whole area as a moon garden i was not very thrilled at all specially being a person that just can't pick favorite color so my gardens have everything in them,but after seeing the end result of your garden i am so totally in love with all white theme and can not wait for next season to implement this in my yard. It looks amazing!
Nina Will I love it too.I always pick a White over any other colour.Therefore my garden is white with a touch of pink.However since watching GA I am now including a touch of blue.Don’t you just love this Chanel?
Same, am trying to get more white in my Garden including Tulips, she is my inspiration
@@joycefinney2735 i have been GA fan for many years now, it is part of my daily routine, i wake up, make coffee and watch GA, then whole world can fall apart but that is first order of business for the day :*) Best channel of all by far.
Nina Will Couldn’t agree more.
I love your Moon garden. In Florida I had a yard that was all green in the back and adding white blooms made it so enjoyable after sun set. Your gardens are always amazing!
💚💚💚 lots of love from Kerala ..(India)
I'm Indian too.. greetings from Karnataka💚
Hi dear Laura! Greetings from Ukraine! Love your channel a L O T ))) You gave me so mych joy, inspiration and fun! It unvalueavle especially at this strange times. Got an idea about urns in the moon garden. Maybe short varieties of dahlias would be match this place. Especially with different type and colour of folliage. Anyway whether it fit for you or not i will always love your garden! May i wish you the best of health and happiness and further success in your activities))))
Oh those gophers! Just made me heartsick when you said they ate all around the crabapple😢. And spider mites also. It's a constant battle isn't it. I had aphids this summer I was fighting. And Laura, you always look lovely no matter if it gets to a hundred and five. We can't tell on the video. ️ ❤️
Hey Laura, will we ever get a video meeting Chris? Or maybe videos of Chris and/or Aaron teaching us about drip, small gardening projects, maintenance, etc. Would love to see some segments like "Aaron's Drip Corner" or "Garden Secrets with Chris." I'm all for taking some pressure off of you, especially as you get further into this pregnancy!
I am really enjoying the smaller tours. It has been easier to take it all in and not be overwhelmed. The space looks so beautiful, but you have to love it. Looking forward to you creating the moon garden on a smaller scale in the shade.
AAAAHAHA, right when I saw the gomphocarpus ( which I totally didn't remember that name), I started laughing. Remembering the video when Laura was so shock by it's common name, Hairy Balls.
When she gasped and Aaron pulled the camera in...I knew it had to be the plant that shall not be named...LOL.
Which video was this???
@@New.phone.who.dis1286 Her June 7, 2020 video " Planting a few things I've never grown before". Watch it you will laugh so hard from Laura's reaction of the plant name.
You’re doing a good job everyday on UA-cam, thank you for talking us on tour around your beautiful garden
When you first described the idea of a west side moon garden I didn’t think I’d like it; now seeing it so full of blooms and different textures I really like it!! It compliments the formality of the walkway and urns. No matter what you do it turns out beautiful and inspiring.
Love the white with all the greenery, nice break from a multi coloured garden.
Lucky neighbours adjacent to this West Side garden!
Haha! Gomphocarpus is also called balloon plant or balloon cotton bush. Those names sound better than the other name.
Yes I understand your feeling that a moon garden is not the best in a full sun position. That's why I gave you my vote for the moon garden close to your house. Praying the fires stay very far away.
I can just see Benjamin zooming down that straight walk on his big wheel😂 I love that walkway💕
I absolutely LOVE how you whisper when you get near some of your plants!!! LOL!
Good morning hun🌼all part of your garden is so relaxing and beautiful 😍love all the greenery’s and white blooms❤️💕
AGAIN Laura, You delight me! My Husband is a 20+ year USAF veteran. He does not have the polite filter gene your husband has. LOL Have to tell you...you saved my Rose of Sharon. If it wasn't for you, I would even know what chlorosis was. Iron-Tone to the rescue. TY TY TY Plus I'm adding Groundhog Aronia to my problem area with some Black-eyed-Susan's. Can't wait. The pollinators on my Rose of Sharon are incredible. Stay hydrated young friend. Cathy M/PA
I think the variety of red catus plant
looked beautiful with the white plants!💗🐈😺
I would love to see a video where you talk about the wildlife you see in your garden and what your thoughts are on animal habitats within garden spaces.
I wonder if putting blue with the all white garden wouldn't be just GORGEOUS! The blue enhances a lot of plantings
Blue and white goes nice together ,am yearning to plant blue and white Salvia together
I know you’ve already planted it up, but a moon garden would be beautiful on the side of the house near the new walkway and circle. I hope you decide to try it again on a smaller scale in a shaded area sometime in the future! 💗💜💗
Holy cow, those Scaevola flowers are enormous! Everything is so beautiful. And I love how you added some edibles. You are brilliant!
Such a peaceful environment.💮🌼 Awesome! White eggplant( 1st time seeing) 🤔wow! Thank you for the beautiful wake up this morning.🍵
That's the original variety, which is why it's named "egg" plant.
@@Bamboo4U2 O wow! Thank you for that, I was just reading up on it😊New gardener 🤫
Those white echinacea are very pretty👍
I call that plant a 'swan plant', the one with the green seed pods. The monarch butterflies love it. The seed pods are crammed with fluffy seeds. They are shaped like swans. I'm in New Zealand.
Great seeing other Kiwis starting their Sunday with some Garden Answer joy
Beautiful, I think a white Butterfly bush would look great in the space where you removed the plant in the pot.
Beautiful area. Love you asking Arron questions. Cute banter.
You never cease to amaze me Laura and Erin you are a doll!
I love the white.
I appreciate the colors.
I love the sun flowers.
I have even seen a neighbor cover their front yard in mostly sunflowers and other flowers.
And pink roses are really nice in a garden.
But, snow white brings me such peace.
I don't think that I will change my mind about it.
I do know the feeling of constantly rearranging things to find the perfect place for them.
Once I find the perfect spot that works I am so happy about it.
Blessings.
Sorry you’re having wildfires and having to deal with smoke in the area, but the green and white really look beautiful and fresh in the video. The urns look gorgeous! Love the leaf shape on those pumpkin vines. 💚🤍
Hi.. would you like to see my real Brahma Kamal🌷 flower from my garden ua-cam.com/video/5KHPPIb2oe4/v-deo.html🌷🌸 queen of the night, lady of the night as its beautiful lotus like flower blooms late night. In India it is called as brahma Kamal and is treated as a sacred plant.🌷🌻🏵 hope you like it 🌼🌸
I love the red cabbage around the garden entrance!!! So whimsical and cottage style
I love that garden. The white is super elegant. No matter what you do I'm sure it'll be lovely.
Would you consider doing a mood garden in a smaller area? I still love these plants and the concept!
I agree with Mykie Jean!
I was gonna say the same thing! I also like pairing white with purple 😊
I think incorporating some pale yellow and purple with the white would make a stunning moon garden.
Loved seeing veg in the flower garden as fillers
I too am dealing with spider mites that I found late. I’d love to hear more about the 6 week regimen!
I originally wanted this to be a white garden. However, now I agree that would be better suited in a shadier, more intimate area of the garden. This area of your garden may be my favorite. I like the structure of the maples and boxwoods, the hardscape of the brick path and urns and the site-lines into the veg garden. My suggestion- since you will be using more color interest, keep the urns simple. Just one vertical plant per urn. Those urns are too beautiful to be covered up.
Aaron... "What's it called?" Lol
I have a suspicion that Aaron was being a little naughty. 🤣🤣🤣 #relationshipgoals
I did have to Google that and got a good chuckle. Aaron was definitely being naughty. lol
I just love this white and green combination.
I’m having such a tough time with spider mites this year too it’s a huge bummer ☹️
I’ll be happy to see how you take care of such a big problem in your garden
Just wondering how often Aaron actually knows “What it is called ?”
😁
Hi.. would you like to see my real Brahma Kamal🌷 flower from my garden ua-cam.com/video/5KHPPIb2oe4/v-deo.html🌷🌸 queen of the night, lady of the night as its beautiful lotus like flower blooms late night. In India it is called as brahma Kamal and is treated as a sacred plant.🌷🌻🏵 hope you like it 🌼🌸
So so beautiful. My plants not doing as well this year. Stayed cool to long,not to hot,no rain now. My moved pots around today to get away from so much sun. Your gardens and your mother-in-laws flowers were georgous. Love,love ! You do a great job. My favorite !!
Gardens like yours is what I strive for! Y’all have an amazingly beautiful place and your Maple Trees have gotten big quick! Very beautiful trees. I appreciate the structure and how y’all have everything in layers. Very beautiful and god bless.
I think it would be fun since you have so much white to make it red white and blue down through there! IMO 🇺🇸🥂
Thank you Aaron for the close ups of leaves and flowers and the comparison with healthy folage. So helps us novices.
There’s nothing like a WWE Kitten Smackdown in the middle of the Moon Garden! 😏😼😾🌙🌿 Hang in there with the forest fires. Ours in Colorado are so bad that they’ve closed I-70 from near Vail to Glenwood Springs.🥺 Shout out to all firefighters! xoxo Christine in smoky CO
I swear you are a mind reader, every time I think "I wonder how this part of the garden is doing:" I wake up the next day and there's my update! Thank you for sharing as much as you have, I am obsessed with moon gardening and am trying to create my own on my new property, and seeing your journey made me realize that I still love moon gardening, but I think I would also prefer it to be in a shadier/part sun area, which is the opposite side of the house I was planning on. Could you possibly do a video on all white part sun/shade plants for the spring?
Good morning Everything is really pretty
We have so much shade in our yard that I use mostly white flowering plants and shrubs. Lots of azaleas, impatiens, geraniums and begonias. Snow hydrangeas. Structure with arborvitae . Rosemary, camellias, gardenias, jasmine. Daffodils and lilies. I usually have something blooming here in north Georgia. I love your videos. I learn so much.
Your Gardens are amazing and I love watching your videos
Omg....that rose is gorgeous!.
Lovely idea to curate a celestial-inspired floral area... If I had the space I might've tried something similar in a circular white area, surrounded by multicoloured patches for contrast...
Laura, have Aaron stand next to the arborvitae so we can see how tall they have grown.
I dont know , but i think the white garden is astounding ,wouldnt give up on the idea just yet. Theres so so so much color evvvveeerrywhere else.
