    I rarely comment here but I wanted to tell you something in hopes that it warms your heart. Almost any time I start talking to a new person about gardening, they will bring up your channel and something you have taught them. Please know your videos have touched so many lives in so many ways over the years as ive experienced people saying this outside of your comment section. You deserve all the success and more for all of the effort you have put in over the years. Happy holidays!!!!

      Same here, I never comment but have enjoyed this channel from the moment I discovered it a couple years ago. I was looking for videos on how to prune a lilac and have been hooked ever since! The content and the wholesomeness of the family unit is a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. Thank God for channels like this!

    Laura, I will state this again lol. Don't sweat the "repetitive" things you show. Especially with plants.
    I am a visual learner as well. Along with repetition. I cannot stress enough as to just how helpful your videos have been. I've been following along with your journey since right before you moved into your current home.
    I will also replay many of your videos especially the ones that cover in detail several varieties of annuals, perennials, shrubs, evergreen etc. etc. When driving past someone's property, going through a garden center or driving along roadways, I can actually recognize various plants & trees and place a name to them. Which has been extremely helpful.
    So thanks so much for what you do.
    I pray 2023 brings tons of more projects & happiness to your family! Be Blessed & Continue To Be A Blessing To Others!

    My 94 year old mother and I absolutely loved this posting today. It was out of the daily norm and we always love it when you show your shopping trips with your family members. Since Covid we rarely get out of the house and this is our way of traveling and shopping. Everything you show on these days is so informative and a shear pleasure to be taken along. Thank you so much for the different content from gardening info. We get our daily Gardening fix by watching you every day, you feed our souls. We still have an Angel wing Begonia that was my Grandmother’s and she passed in 1975. We have kept it growing for all of these years by giving away cuttings. We miss getting out and gardening and you have no idea how much pleasure that you bring us. And your shopping excursions are a pleasurable treat for us. Thank you for it all. Talking about going to the nail salon was icing on our cake, thank you.

    CONTENT IDEA FOR JANUARY VIDEOS, while things are slow: individual videos could focus on particular areas of the original gardens & show that area's evolution, from the time you moved to this property until now. Similar to this video in which you featured the significant moments & results for this year. It will be fun to see how your ideas evolved for individual areas & learn which things worked & which didn't. We LOVE just looking again at the beautiful spaces, even if they don't still exist in their original form.

    I just want to say thank you for all you guys have shared with us this past year! I have learned so so much and that fully intend to put all of that knowledge to work developing the acre of land around our new home.
    You’ve influenced me into asking for a hoselink, power planters and cement drill for Christmas, all of which I was lucky enough to receive. I’ve also learned to love cement pieces and have officially started my collection with the most beautiful bench and bird bath. I can’t wait to add to it. You’ve showed me soo many plants that I’ve added and will add to the landscape. Aaron has taught me the importance and trees, and I’ve already started collecting some nice sized ones that are currently tucked in for the winter that will be planted out first thing early this spring. Yes big trees! You’ve taught me elements of garden design and hard scape that I never knew before, you’ve taught me about cut flower gardens and vegetable gardens. I now know more about food storage and the importance of a delicious butternut pasta dish. I now know how precious family time is and how important it is to spend days out shopping or spending time with the ones you love. I’ve learned to romance the ordinary and put all I have into making things feel festive and special. Your channel is truly more than just a garden channel, it’s a place to come when you want to feel inspired, appreciated and like you’re part of a community.
    Looking back at 2022 I can honestly say that I did not miss one single episode of garden answer, you’ve become my daily decompress after a long day of work and have brought me so much joy.
    Thank you again, and with so much love. Here is to an amazing 2023!!! ❤

Have a Happy New Year, and Happy Birthday to your dad, I'll be 70 on the 1st I don't see it and feel it (I thank God) I've heard this saying ( Age Is Mind Over Matter, If You Don't MINED It Doesn't MATTER.)

    I just discovered your channel this summer when I was looking for a tutorial on how to trim up my oak leaf hydrangea. I haven't missed a day since. I am a chaplain working the midnight shift at an inner city hospital and it's such a beautiful transition to come home every morning and watch a video that has nothing to do with what I may have struggled with overnight. It's the perfect way to wind down and get ready to sleep. On those days when there aren't new videos, I go back and watch one or two old ones. My favorite thing this year was the planting of the autumn blaze maples around the front lawn. I was literally in tears watching them all go in. Thanks for my daily mental health break and thanks to you and Aaron for so generously sharing your successes and your struggles with us. Happy New Year!

    Laura and Aaron where do I begin this 12-30-2022 to describe the impact your talent has made on my life this year?
    I am a full time caretaker for my disabled husband going on year 5 we are just 63 still pretty young for such a big life change he has progressive multiple sclerosis. I’ve always been a gardener but in the past 2 years with your influence I have grown tremendously in knowledge and garden space. I’ve stood back at times amongst the paths and even amazed myself at what I’ve achieved this year alone. Everyone stops and admires! Next season I’m completing my English roses area, adding more fall and winter interest with more shrubs and grasses and also a few more statues. How exciting it will be! You guys and my gardens have brought such joy into my life during my time as a caretaker which is such a very hard job. I’ve at times on the most difficult days sought out the gardens to sooth my weary soul and replenish my spirit. I can’t imagine how I’d get through these days without Garden Answer and the inspiration and support it provides to me, thank you so very very much❤️

      I know. We live by a river in our town. We decided to give a little of our land to the city for a bike/walking path to be put in. They took more than we thought they were going to take. The premise that we were told is that they were going to keep it maintained and keep the weeds down. Well, they might cut the weeds down once a year right next to the path, but they don’t take care of the hill leading to our property. I was maintaining it before we sold it. When I was younger and able, I planted some flowers, but as I got older, I couldn’t keep up with it. Now, I just sprinkle some of my flower seeds over there and some do come up. So be aware, you just can’t trust the city. They do what they want to do.

I start my day with learning about whatever your talking to us about that day, whether it be gardening or just being with your mom. I have learned so much that I want to try in my own gardens. I am going to try to garden using more planters around my yard. I did a few one year and missed seeing them last year, so I plan on doing that. I’ve enjoyed the planting tours and seeing the progress you guys have made around your property. I can’t wait to see the burst of color in the spring of all the tulips and other bulbs that you put in. It’s going to be beautiful. The Christmas lights display is always so pretty and I want to thank you all for sharing and for all the hard work that gos into it. I wish you all a Very Happy New Year in 2023.

    Do wonder costs transplanting, transporting, warranty & availability of those largest trees, as tree farms close by here nothing that large ever available.
    How awesome is the design, plantings around that great addition of your magnificent "greenhouse"!
    Look forward to 2023 with you & two cute children growing, oh yes as well as your two felines exploring their growing habitat!!

    I remember watching this channel regularly some years ago. This is by far, my favorite UA-cam channel. I learned a lot about gardening and caring for my plant and flowers. I’ve come a long way. I see thing, try it, and surprisingly it becomes a success.

    Laura and Aaron, you are the first videos I see each day. Thank you for all you do to inspire gardening. Because of Laura, I have sooo many plant and “to do” lists to consider for my garden, that my husband cringes when he sees me watching Garden Answer. Don’t change how you do anything, its just so enjoyable. And….. you guys are just so darn nice. Thank you!

    Though I am quite a bit older, and with many years of gardening experience I have learned a lot from you all~~I guess ya get to doing things the same way, then you see another way and it’s like BOING! - why didn’t I think of that before? Appreciate the knowledge, the tools, the ideas and helpful hints, and watching your growing family~~thank you and Happy New Year!!

    I think it would be really beautiful if you planted like a REALLY big-growing oak in the middle of the lawn where you have the autumn blazes, for you and the kids to sit under and have picnics in the grass! And it could get really huge and old over the years and grow with you guys 🥰

    Hi Laura and Aaron. I used to watch the news every morning for years and would get depressed at the negative, horrible things happening around the world. It would set my mood for the day. Now since finding Garden Answer I watch it in the mornings, and I am far more productive and happier in general. I love gardening and enjoy seeing how you and your family's garden ideas and planting tips come together. It helps me try new plants. Thanks!

You guys really have no idea what this channel has done for so many. I've grown my babies alongside yours and recently begun my second yard transformation. Gardening has become my happy place and this channel is like the friend that I've needed when this world feels so crazy. Thank you to you, your family, and your team for being an inspiring and positive escape to us all. 💗

    Thanks for sharing your 2022 accomplishments with us. This channel has taught me so much regarding gardening. My love for gardening has grown so much watching you, your husband and family work so passionately at what you all love. Also seeing the projects you’ve accomplished like the project for the Community College and your assistance to other’s homes has been amazing. Even the chats with your Mom on this beautiful shared skill is simply amazing. I was blown away when I heard just a small piece of you playing the piano as well. All of these experiences have been inspirational to me and therapeutic as well. I was blown away at the low estimated cost of the Christmas lights show as well. It was such an amazing presentation of Christmas lights that I thought it would be unaffordable to accomplish for an average person. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge and your transparency on the realistic value of getting things accomplished has been so helpful. This channel is such a breath of fresh air.
    My prayer is that you and your family continue to grow in the things you are most passionate about. I hope all of your future plans for 2023 come together as planned. God bless you all and I am excited about learning more new things from you all this year as well.
    Very/Respectful

A beautiful, peaceful memory.

    Thank you both for another wonderful year of Garden Answer. Discovered you during Covid and haven't missed a video since. You have been such inspiration for me, I have always loved gardening but you have helped me launch to another level. I have learned so much about size and scale, I hope to be sending you some of my before and afters when you do those again this spring or summer. I made so much change this past spring, planting so many new purchased plants along with those that I grew from seed. Spring 2023 proves to be very exciting, waiting to see how it all comes together. I can only imagine how excited you all are to see your new gardens burst into spring as well. Happy New Year and "Cheers" to the garden!!
