How many of you called out "Little Lime Punch" when Laura couldn't recall the hydrangea, it's funny how Your garden seems to all of us an extension of our own. It's lovely to share in your space this way. Such a happy time, Happy Christmas!

    Do you realize how fortunate you are to buy an acreage with so many beautiful things already in place? The fireplace, the statuary, the weeping willows, the golden rain tree, even the barn is a great asset. Starting from a blank canvas isn’t as easy as one might think.

    In terms of that forgotten area, I tend to enjoy seeing animals like horses and that red barn is very lovely. Especially if you don’t personally want to care for horses, “borrowing” them seems ideal. Whatever you decide to do will be gorgeous.

    It’s so beautiful to see how your garden have evolved over the years. It keeps me coming back for more- the changes, the evolution is what makes it so multi-dimensional. The areas around your house has more than 4 interests, as to opposed to the traditional 4 sides of the house. It’s what keeps it really interesting and never tires me of watching any of your garden tour’s videos. Simply love what you and Aaron have done.

To design a area where is looked from both sides how to main the height difference ? You inspire me so much. Even though the climatic and soil conditions in India is different then yours, I never ever miss watching your video no matter how busy I am. I allot my time so that each day i can watch your videos without my routine getting missed. Thank you so much for the knowledge and the inspiration.

Benjamin was intently listening while Laura was speaking, taking everything in. I would leave the view to your neighbors barn and mustangs open so the kids can watch the horses. Make it a play area for the kids with a butterfly garden, the teepee. So they have things to be entertained.

    I've mentioned before, that the back formal garden area would be an ideal location for a sunken garden. You could excavate it and design to leave the mature boxwood still in it's place. Giving it a raised appearance. Maybe changing the center piece to a statue or fountain.
    With it being out of the way, could be done over time (as you wouldn't have to stare directly at the eyesore).
    Could possibly even collaborate with Klaus Dalby for ideas. Utilizing other shrubs for screening. Which could also allow you to remove the white fence that divides the internal property. Incorporating a couple of entrances into the sunken garden space. Think it would provide a very magical garden space.

    • @jrp7960

    We are all amazed at how many Christmas lights you all (Aaron😉!) put up! Are you using LEDs or regular lights? Are the mini or large bulbs. Hopeful and excited to see the lights episode. Thank you for the knowledge and entertainment 🎄

    I'm a native Floridian now transplanted to Southern CA. So even though I've seen a lot of snow, I'm still so in awe of it! So many beautiful spots! I especially loved the Hawthorne red berries with the snow on top. Just completely beautiful! And how fun to watch Benjamin with his snowballs! Although I was holding my breath when he was building the big ones and throwing them right at the Hartley windows! LOL

    As someone who doesn't get snow (zone 10) this makes me extremely jealous. It's disgustingly beautiful and I am very jealous. This video was so magical.

    For the back garden i would incorporate the triangle bed from the driveway, remove the white fence and the boxwoods and create grass pathways meandering throughout with a play space for the kids, a seating space in another and have flower beds everywhere with butterfly/pollinators plants, treillises with climbing roses and vines, shrubs and tress. Kind of like what you did in the loop in the south garden but on a smaller scale and with a more cottage-y vibe with lots of shaped boxwoods here and there.
    Let's not forget water features and having a "secret" view between plants to look at the hartley form the seating space !

    Your home is so magical and the snow makes even more beautiful, I think you should turn the back space into a family park with paths like Arron and a play ground with swings and slides and a fort, a nice picnic area where you all can bbq and enjoy watching the little ones play, I think it would be another great area for your family to gather especially when all the cousins come by

    I love seeing the trees and shrubs on the new property/south garden. I am especially excited about the flower shed. The impromptu snowball fight, the cat following you around in the snow and your optimism made me smile through the whole tour. Thank you for sharing your garden and your life with us. You start my day off right.

    Laura I’m listening as your explaining how your going to change the grass area, but was watching your Son and his cat 🐈 just playing and enjoying the official first snow. I could only imagine the whole family just plopping down in the snow ❄️ and making snow angels together. Those are the times you will remember as your children grow up dear. Blessings Agape’ NanaB

    What a glorious winter day! I have a new perspective on leaving perennials untrimmed for winter interest! I used to scold myself for not cleaning things up before the snow falls. Not any more…..I see the pretty now. Thank you. What a fun “snowy day tour” with Laura and her entire posse! Loved it!

    For a fairly new garden so much has been done ✅
    I will definitely have to watch this one about a half dozen times to take notes on the different tree barks and branches to different hedges and ground covers. 🤯
    I send all my clients and friends to Garden Answer to either understand the why’s and how’s or to try and get them to be involved with the process of Garden re-designing.
    I find all you hard work so inspiring and you keep me going every day 💚

    Oh and for saving my husband and i grief of house chores. You once mentioned how hiring a house cleaner lessened the squabbling in marriage. That was the best advice i have ever heard. Thanks again ❤️

    Beautiful! Being from South Louisiana, it's fun to see your garden while it's snowing. Benjamin is so precious! To see a child playing and enjoying his surroundings, is so heart warming. You and Aaron, are great parents. Your kids are truly blessed to have the both of you.
