After watching so many beautiful garden submissions in this series it was shockingly delightful to see my northwest Michigan submission made the cut. The hosta collection garden is one of two, side by side. Those two beds hold about 350variety, with another 100 variety displayed throughout the remaining 9 garden areas on my 2-acre parcel. Thanks, Laura and Aaron, for your kind words!
Thank you so much for showing my garden and your kind words. This was a huge and absolutely unexpected surprise while having lunch. I literally stopped chewing and nearly forgot to breathe. It is such an honor for us, it is like an accolade. And just by the way, the lollipop tree you have asked for is a simple Limelight Hydragena.
Every week it’s a treat to see the creative beauty showcased. I agree on the surprise factor, I was on an adrenaline high after I saw mine. I’m sure if I watched it before I shoveled, the task would have only taken me 30 minutes instead of 50!
From Pennsylvania and can confirm everywhere outside of the cities are green and lush with either hills, valleys, mountains and farmland. You guys have had more snow than we have this winter! We definitely get more rain/wet here than eastern Oregon. It was fun seeing gardens so close to me in your videos!
I absolutely love this podcast style video. To hear your opinion, your husbands opinion, and the photos flash on the screen- it’s all such great content, it really makes you feel encouraged to go out and create something in nature.
I’m in PA zone 6b close to Gettysburg and you’re correct. Everything is so green and lush. Our neighbors all around us still have green grass. Everything grows beautifully here. I couldn’t even get my geraniums to die off so I could plant my mums lol we will never move from PA. It is the most beautiful state.
Hi Aaron....love your comment about PA being lush....it is indeed. But we deal with white tail deer that eat almost everything you plant. The struggle is real if you live near the woods. Every morning you wake up to see what they have consumed. It's a lesson in perseverence and developing creative barriers to live here if you garden, but it's a gorgeous state. Thanks for noticing PA!!!
It’s good to hear other gardeners lament over the issues they have in their gardens, because it makes me appreciate what I have! Our house is on a steep hill and (because of age) it’s getting harder and harder for me to garden, but I do have so many trees, and no lack of rain! To hear Laura and Aaron talk about the issues they deal with, makes me appreciate my space so much more! I see a lot of containers in my future! Lol!!
Pennsylvania native here! Can confirm Aaron’s comment about it being lush here! I’m south east of Pittsburgh and fun fact our area gets more rain than Seattle. So grass THRIVES here 😂 You both are welcome ANYTIME ❤
I love seeing all the gardens and your sweet comments on them all. I also love that you and Aaron said, “Woe to me. Business is bad,” 🤣 Hilarious reference! Y’all are so much fun.
I so appreciate your kind words and for sharing our Lancaster, PA yard in your video today! I have been inspired by your garden as well as Longwood Gardens which is nearby. Thank you again!
Yes, thank you to everyone for your submissions. I’ve said it before but I’m working with a giant blank slate this year with the home I purchased in October. I enjoy looking at all these beautiful spaces helping me jog my mind in all sorts of directions! I need to start some seeds! Asap!! 😊♥️
So lovely to meet you yesterday at the NW Garden Show. Well worth the wait. Thank you for sharing your gardens and family with us, and allowing others to share their joy of gardening through your channel as well. Wishing you all the best.
Yes Aaron , Lancaster co . Pa. is a very fertile garden area . My ancestors come from that area . I thought I knew a lot about gardening when I lived in Pa . I lived north of Lancaster area , I planted and mulched and bingo it grew ! Then I moved to the Midwest ( central Mo. ) it’s been a struggle to learn I’m happy to say after 14 years I’m finally mostly adjusted but still envy my pa gardens .
Viewers have outdone their selves again! Absolute beautiful inspiration 👍👏😊 the greenery, the color, stonework, fountains, ponds - We are getting so close to springtime, counting the days, making many plans 👍👏😊
On Pennsylvania: You're right, Aaron. Pennsylvania is naturally lush. I used to be amazed at how the public parks look like the designed parks in San Diego that took millions of dollars to create. All they have to do is install a hiking trail and it's done!
What an absolute honor to have our new flower bed featured on your channel 💓 thank you both! The composite wood pallet walk was 100% inspired by yours ☺️
Yes I agree to move this series to the highlights channel, it's a great series w/ beautiful gardens..but I feel that your main channel is getting slightly busy w/ different ideas. I appreciate all you guys do! Can't wait for Spring & to see what you guys do w/ your garden this year!
Thank you for being an inspiration and huge motivators 🙂 In 2019 I started college for landscape design and got assigned a random video for my floriculture class to identify plants. It happened to be your "End of season tour 2019" 😀 Haven't skipped a video since then. Its the best midday treat while I work on client's garden plans 😄 And just this last month I moved to my forever home with a blank garden to work on. Watching and working on other's beautiful spaces makes me so excited for all the fun and work that's ahead of me. I can't wait to share my own garden progress with the Garden Answer family next winter ☺ Keep on inspiring others 🤗🌷
LOVE these video, especially with Laura talking us through it and Aaron making his funny comments. It is like my own private garden tour with wonderful guides to help me understand the plants, the problems, the solutions. WONDERFUL!
Aaron is not wrong on his estimation of Pennsylvania. From a born and raised PA girl, it really is lush, green, rolling, and such a great place to garden! I am now transplanted to southwestern Montana, and from this vantage point can appreciate the wonderful blessings I took for granted when I lived there. Thanks for doing this series, for I find it inspiring and super fun!
I live in Delaware and we frequently visit Lancaster, PA. Every time I say they have such absolutely beautiful yards and flowers. I always think either they must get more frequent rain than us or they are all master gardeners there 🤣.
Thank you to all GA viewers for your inspiration and such beautiful gardens from around the world. I do screenshots all the time of ideas that would work for me in my yard and hope one day to implement some of the great gardens shown over the course of this channel, thank you Laura and Aaron for inspiring us all and encouraging creativity in all of us.
Hey Laura & Aaron ,Aaron is right about Lancaster, Pennsylvania,sometimes I drive up that way and the farms are lush,it’s a beautiful drive to the market I go to.I’m only a hour away.Everyone who sent in pictures of your gardens are beautiful,love seeing them all.
I love these videos! I will watch every single one y’all have time to film and edit. I watch every single video on both this channel and the highlights channel anyway. GA is the reason I started gardening in the first place. These vids of other peoples gardens are so very inspiring! Kudos to editing team! Thank you Laura and Aaron! PS I cannot wait for spring!
Current gardening friend I'm helping rejuvenate a totally neglected (about 15 years), but beautifully-designed landscape and gardens. So much fun because changes are immediately visible and so rewarding! Took a cue from you and have zoned her 10+ acre property into areas and tackling them individually. So much fun!!
Thanks Laura and Aaron you never know what you might catch while watching these garden videos! I enjoy taking screenshots of things I might be able to do in our ever expanding gardens! Little did I expect to see the Rosarium in Spokane come up! My husband spent his high school years there and we often get back to visit family! We like to plan things to do before we go so are looking forward to checking out the Rosarium while there next trip! I am loving all the photos and oooh and aaah right along with you! Looking forward to seeing your trip to the Seattle Garden Show! 😁💖
Just an FYI to my fellow gardeners. The January/February 2023 issue of Better Homes and Gardens on pg. 70 has an article entitled, "Made in the Shade". Beautiful pictures of plants in varying shades and textures used in shade gardening. 10 pages to give us all some wonderful ideas. I don't know if you can access the article on-line or not but buy a copy from your local store soon because I just got the March issue of BHG today in the mail. I hope this gives some information and inspiration to shade gardeners everywhere. Happy Gardening! Spring is almost here!
YES! You should come up and tour the rosarium. Not only do they carry own root roses but are one of the few places in Spokane that carry PW and espoma. I am not a fussy gardener when it comes to my roses and have had two freeze out and come back again true to what I planted. Also if you have time when you come you should see the rose garden at Manito Park.
GA Beautiful Gardens Sampler - international edition!! These gardens are so beautiful and so much care has gone into growing them. Love seeing how gardens are grown throughout the world. I’m hoping there will be a video on gardening in smaller spaces. Thanks for continuing the garden sampler videos, and especially thank you to the amazing people who submitted the pics!!
We traveled from South Dakota to Vermont last summer. As soon as we got to Wisconsin we could tell the difference in how lush things were and it just got better the farther east we went. Absolutely gorgeous...and so many trees! We couldn't believe how lush everything was in Vermont at the end of July. Such a beautiful area of the country.
Laura and Aaron are always wishing they could be in a zone that is less dry and hot,but props to them that by looking at their gardens, you would never know. Just goes to show the hard work they put into their garden.
Just came here to say I'm looking at getting a tree face too! There are some on Amazon that are bird feeders too! Lolz 'I like a good hedge! And thank you for encouraging us to just pull stuff out if you don't like it. I finally decided to pull a burning bush and some other bush, both healthy, but right in front of my dining room window. I mean Yeah I could work to prune them down but I'd rather put my touch on this garden. Please do a meet and greet at the Rosarium!!!
Good morning everyone, especially you that sent in videos. I’m just in “before “ mode yet, building a garden that was an open field I. The beginning. When I moved here in fall 2021, I just put all my perennials crammed in one flower bed just for survival the first winter, last summer I did 16meters of flowerbeds, a raised garden for veggies and berries and this year additional roughly 70 meters more framing my place and keep neighbour’s out. And a seating area. And 4 more raised beds. And a greenhouse tunnel. So my 51 winter sowing projects and right now about 100 seedlings and cuttings inside will have a place designed to them very soon. I’m gonna send pics to Laura, from today with only drawings and plant lists until this summer when it’s done. Not packed with trees, bushes and perennials, but as a start.
Thank you so much for showing my little garden in the Netherlands. I hope there’s a bit of inspiration for those with little or temporary space. I also love seeing all the other gardens. The creativity is endless! 💚
This series was an excellent way to pass the winter by as we wait to get back into the garden. Moving it to the Highlights channel is a great idea, so we can have more of your activities.😊
Not just PA, but several states on the east coast are green and lush. I was born in WV, lived in CO for many years, then moved back and landed in VA for a while. Each time I left CO and visited my home "turf" (pun intended) I was amazed at how green everything was. Even though I was familiar with the area, it still surprised me each time. And the cost of all this beauty is rain and humidity. Humidity is the worst.
We were in Vermont last July and it was absolutely gorgeous and green! I was so jealous ...we live in South Dakota and suffered thru a terrible drought last summer
The Netherlands patio garden I had to pause and take notes. Moving to another country soon to help with the ministry, we’ll be in rentals. Now I have hope for a beautiful garden. 💐💕
I love this series! Seeing what others have accomplished is so inspiring. The pink house garden has always been a dream, to have a full size whimsical and romantic space. Guess it is that childhood desire for a playhouse in a fairy tale coming out!
Oh! Aaron look at this one! Oh! Aaron! We need to go here. Oh! Laura! You are the best !! We love your enthusiasm 👏 ❤️ 🙌 . Thank you for sharing these lovely gardens!! Hugs from N.C..❤️
Such beautiful inspiration! Loved seeing you at the northwest garden show. You were so generous with your time, and your hug and kind words meant the world. Watching you with the kids that were there to meet you was also a treat!
Ok that’s it, I’m totally painting my back shed pink! How stunning! Sure has that wow factor, like surprise!! So adorable! And I’m also going to be on the lookout for more hostas and creating more borders around trees. Less grass to cut would be great for me. Thanks for all the gorgeous inspiration!
I live in Pennsylvania, yes it is lush! Very VERY rocky soil though. It gets very cold in western PA but I am in south eastern PA and it is quite mild, zone 6B. The weather is weird though it can be dry, humid, hot, cold, windy, not windy, heavy snow winters, winters with almost no snow, long cool springs, early warm springs, late freezes, heavy thunderstorms, drastic weather fluctuations and temperature fluctuations from day to day or even hour to hour... but I do love it. I moved here from Southern California and the fact that I don't need sprinklers or any type of irrigation for my landscaping or my lovely green lawn is mind blowing!
I really hope you continue this series so i can send some pictures in this summer from my swedish archipelago garden. This series really is so inspiring and fun to follow. 😍🌸🌻☘️🐝
Hey Laura and Aaron, I have been gardening for over 30 years yet I have learned a lot by watching your videos.You often talk about your dry climate and that almost no plants could survive without irrigation.Have you ever considered using TerraCottem to increase the water retention and fertility of your soil?This product was developed by a professor at Ghent University as part of a research project to increase the survival rate of trees in reforestation projects in semi-arid areas. Meanwhile, it has been commercialized for use in the landscaping of gardens, golf courses and so on. I use it myself in my garden, vegetable garden and flower containers.Mainly to have to water less since I don't have a rainwater well and have to use tap water for everything.
Thanks for the shout out to Pennsylvania, aka Penn's woods. We live on 20acres that are all wooded. It is beautiful and we rarely need water anything we plant. I would happily invite you to come stay for a month in the late fall and again in early spring to help with the huge task of leaf cleanup! Thanks for this series. So inspirational.
I love watching how excited you get lol. It makes me happy every time. These are some beautiful gardens! I've got my notepad with me to write down ideas.
👋Good Friday morning, Laura!!! 👋Good morning, Aaron!!! I enjoy when you join Laura for these, too!!! Yaaaaay, another flower gardens photo submissions video!👏👏👏👏 Let's go; unpausing tv 📺.... OMGLORIOUSNESS!!!!! What stunning garden submissions in this video! I keep thinking, after each video, that the next one won't be as stunning as the last, but proven wrong, each time. Thank you so much to each of the submitters, for sharing your gardens!!! Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/night/weekend 🌞/🌜✨️⭐️🌟⭐️✨️ 🌐 everyone!!! Kimberley F in the Arizona desert 🌞🌵💞🏜 (Zone 9b) USA 🇺🇸
Oh, I would love to see Laura install some lamp posts in her garden. Imagine how much winter interest it would be with the snow falling on it and how it magical it would look at night.
Live here in Pennsylvania, VERY lush and green here. We are so lucky to have such a green and lush environment especially during the growing season. We would be lucky to have you and your family come here!! :)
I support your moving “Beautiful Gardens & Weekly Recap” to Highlights, especially for busy season. Also, encourage you both to continue to protect and maintain flexibility as so preserve your creativity and life balance. God Bless 🙏🙏🥰🪴💐❤️❤️
Love this series❤ I moved last October into a new home. I have 1/2 an acre with a small pond. Other than the pond and a shed in need of some TLC there’s not much else going on in the backyard. I’m getting so many ideas from all of the beautiful gardens that have been featured. I’m a zone 5 and am so looking forward to spring!
I Sooooooo Love these video's I always hate for them to end!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of these with us. So many new ideas!!! You all Brighten My Day Everyday!!!❤❤
Esp. loved the rhodo growing in the middle of the hedge wall at 8:24. You can see it's bones exposed in the before pic. I have cleared rogue bushes from arborvitae hedges and I immediately noticed the rhodo pushing through the middle in that photo. I was so happy to see how the gardeners incorporated the rhodo! I doubt that was the intention of the original designer, but it adds tremendously to the backdrop of this superb modern arrangement of planters. Bravo! Thanks Laura and Aaron and very pleased you will continue this series on your highlights channel. The two channels do help to give us all the best of both worlds: your grand garden AND your more private thoughts, and reflections and personal memories. Brilliant, as always!
Thank you so much for keeping this series going. It is such a wonderful inspiration and motivator!! It definitely makes me want to tackle my builder’s original shoddy townhouse landscaping. Maybe I’ll be on here one day!
Laura and Aaron, I love your garden series and glad you will be continuing on your Highlights Channel. I get so many ideas from these submissions. I take screenshots of my favorites so I can scroll through the pictures at my leisure to obtain ideas for my own garden.
Laura & Aaron, Pillars wouldn't be too hard or expensive to make. I sometimes watch videos about craftsmen doing their crafts lol. And the base can be formed out of brick or concrete blocks. Then they are coated with a limestone which can be smoothed out or etched to look like stone. It is a really fascinating topic. Even complete walls can be done in this manner so it can be more cost effective to build.
So happy to hear you are continuing the series--thank you! I've been wanting to make some changes in my gardens and these gardens are so inspiring and filled with inviting vistas!
I LOVE this series of gardens! So many interesting things that people dream up to have such beautiful yards! Certainly causes envy and makes you want to work extra hard on your own space.
All of the information makes my head go wild! But, today I liked the picture of the spiral around the tree, as I have that issue - right area next to a flower bed, over the last 12 years the tree has grown as well as the slope of the yard around - hard to mow… this will be a great solution to the problem and incorporate the flower bed which the edge is like a dry creek bed…. 😊
So many gorgeous gardens , so many talented people . The gardens were all so different and all I do is say things like wow ,oh my goodness ,oh I want that ,,, haha 🌸❤️🌼
love these gardens, makes me envy those who can plant in the ground. Being in a rental I am not allowed to make any changes to existing garden beds. So I garden in contaiiners and pots in my patio. An awesome Idea for a subject of one of these videos could be, non permanent gardening, or rental gardening. Im sure there are others in the same situation who have wonderful ideas.
You mentioned about watering your lawn. Here in the UK more and more of us aren’t mowing our lawn in May and keeping a little longer in the summer and not bothering to water. It goes brown, but it comes back and by not knowing you get Daisy some butter cups
After watching so many beautiful garden submissions in this series it was shockingly delightful to see my northwest Michigan submission made the cut. The hosta collection garden is one of two, side by side. Those two beds hold about 350variety, with another 100 variety displayed throughout the remaining 9 garden areas on my 2-acre parcel.

Barbara McCann your garden is gorgeous.
It is beautiful 😍
Thank you!
That side garden is so magical 😍
Absolutely gorgeous 😍🤩!!!
Thank you so much for showing my garden and your kind words. This was a huge and absolutely unexpected surprise while having lunch. I literally stopped chewing and nearly forgot to breathe. It is such an honor for us, it is like an accolade. And just by the way, the lollipop tree you have asked for is a simple Limelight Hydragena.
Beautiful work - its addition was so very appropriate. Keep it up, your work is very inspiring

Yes, Pennsylvania is very lush and green! Now, I think of Aaron and appreciate our trees so much more. 😀
Oh that Lancaster PA garden was GORGEOUS!!!! I wanted to throw myself in the grass and just lay there forever. 🥰
I absolutely love this podcast style video. To hear your opinion, your husbands opinion, and the photos flash on the screen- it’s all such great content, it really makes you feel encouraged to go out and create something in nature.

Same! I have 3 acres of a blank open slate and now I have too many ideas! Good luck on your garden
So lovely to meet you yesterday at the NW Garden Show. Well worth the wait. Thank you for sharing your gardens and family with us, and allowing others to share their joy of gardening through your channel as well. Wishing you all the best.

What an absolute honor to have our new flower bed featured on your channel 💓 thank you both! The composite wood pallet walk was 100% inspired by yours ☺️
Your garden is truly lovely 😍🤩!
Great work - very impressive ❤️
Amazing to see how it came together in such a short period of time, beautiful!
What a lovely way to start my day! Thank you to all the gardeners around the world.
Yes I agree to move this series to the highlights channel, it's a great series w/ beautiful gardens..but I feel that your main channel is getting slightly busy w/ different ideas. I appreciate all you guys do! Can't wait for Spring & to see what you guys do w/ your garden this year!
Lancaster Pennsylvania is very very lush and green! It’s gorgeous there! Love the videos!

Good morning, beautiful yards! Great job everyone! I’m inspired….
Breakfast with Laura, Aaron and seeing beautiful gardens. Life is good. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕💕

I like the input from your hubby. So often we woman do garden alone so it is nice to have a man's input on things.
Thank you, everyone, for sharing your gardens with us! Amazing.❤️

And the cost of all this beauty is rain and humidity. Humidity is the worst.
We were in Vermont last July and it was absolutely gorgeous and green! I was so jealous ...we live in South Dakota and suffered thru a terrible drought last summer
Kristy hi I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
Love this series, thank you so much, and thank you Aaron for showing up and giving your input I appreciate all you do
The Netherlands patio garden I had to pause and take notes. Moving to another country soon to help with the ministry, we’ll be in rentals. Now I have hope for a beautiful garden. 💐💕
🤎🤎🌸🌸🤎🤎🌸🌸🤎🤎 What fun!!! Thanks to everyone!
Hello from Lancaster PA! So excited to see something from Lancaster in this video 😁
I love this series! Seeing what others have accomplished is so inspiring. The pink house garden has always been a dream, to have a full size whimsical and romantic space. Guess it is that childhood desire for a playhouse in a fairy tale coming out!
Sheryle hi I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
You guys are so funny together - love the banter
Impressive! Loved the use of the old screen door as the entrance to the backyard.
These gardens are fabulous! 👌 Great job 🎊 everyone! Love the lavender! 😀
Oh! Aaron look at this one! Oh! Aaron! We need to go here. Oh! Laura! You are the best !! We love your enthusiasm 👏 ❤️ 🙌 . Thank you for sharing these lovely gardens!! Hugs from N.C..❤️
I love this segment-thanks for keeping it going. Once I am done creating my new rose garden I plan to enter some pictures as well!
Summer hi I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
Such beautiful inspiration! Loved seeing you at the northwest garden show. You were so generous with your time, and your hug and kind words meant the world. Watching you with the kids that were there to meet you was also a treat!
Julia hi I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
Ok that’s it, I’m totally painting my back shed pink! How stunning! Sure has that wow factor, like surprise!! So adorable! And I’m also going to be on the lookout for more hostas and creating more borders around trees. Less grass to cut would be great for me. Thanks for all the gorgeous inspiration!
I live in Pennsylvania, yes it is lush!
Very VERY rocky soil though. It gets very cold in western PA but I am in south eastern PA and it is quite mild, zone 6B. The weather is weird though it can be dry, humid, hot, cold, windy, not windy, heavy snow winters, winters with almost no snow, long cool springs, early warm springs, late freezes, heavy thunderstorms, drastic weather fluctuations and temperature fluctuations from day to day or even hour to hour... but I do love it. I moved here from Southern California and the fact that I don't need sprinklers or any type of irrigation for my landscaping or my lovely green lawn is mind blowing!
I really hope you continue this series so i can send some pictures in this summer from my swedish archipelago garden. This series really is so inspiring and fun to follow. 😍🌸🌻☘️🐝
Hey Laura and Aaron,
I have been gardening for over 30 years yet I have learned a lot by watching your videos.You often talk about your dry climate and that almost no plants could survive without irrigation.Have you ever considered using TerraCottem to increase the water retention and fertility of your soil?This product was developed by a professor at Ghent University as part of a research project to increase the survival rate of trees in reforestation projects in semi-arid areas. Meanwhile, it has been commercialized for use in the landscaping of gardens, golf courses and so on. I use it myself in my garden, vegetable garden and flower containers.Mainly to have to water less since I don't have a rainwater well and have to use tap water for everything.
So glad Aaron was in this one. It's a good rare balance what a man brings to a video.
Wow some of those gardens were just spectacular!!! I love that pillar with the ball too Laura!
I love seeing all these gardens. I was so excited when you talked about my garden in video 3. I am sure everyone is just as excited as me.
Backyard hi I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
Thanks for the shout out to Pennsylvania, aka Penn's woods. We live on 20acres that are all wooded. It is beautiful and we rarely need water anything we plant. I would happily invite you to come stay for a month in the late fall and again in early spring to help with the huge task of leaf cleanup! Thanks for this series. So inspirational.
I love watching how excited you get lol. It makes me happy every time. These are some beautiful gardens! I've got my notepad with me to write down ideas.
👋Good Friday morning, Laura!!! 👋Good morning, Aaron!!! I enjoy when you join Laura for these, too!!!
Yaaaaay, another flower gardens photo submissions video!👏👏👏👏 Let's go; unpausing tv 📺....
OMGLORIOUSNESS!!!!! What stunning garden submissions in this video! I keep thinking, after each video, that the next one won't be as stunning as the last, but proven wrong, each time. Thank you so much to each of the submitters, for sharing your gardens!!!
Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/night/weekend 🌞/🌜✨️⭐️🌟⭐️✨️ 🌐 everyone!!!

So beautiful! Thanks for sharing these magnificent gardens.
Oh, I would love to see Laura install some lamp posts in her garden. Imagine how much winter interest it would be with the snow falling on it and how it magical it would look at night.
yeah it is lol. I grew up toward Lancaster county and Chester county - it’s lussshhhhh.
Live here in Pennsylvania, VERY lush and green here. We are so lucky to have such a green and lush environment especially during the growing season. We would be lucky to have you and your family come here!! :)
I support your moving “Beautiful Gardens & Weekly Recap” to Highlights, especially for busy season. Also, encourage you both to continue to protect and maintain flexibility as so preserve your creativity and life balance. God Bless 🙏🙏🥰🪴💐❤️❤️
Susan hi I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
Love this series❤ I moved last October into a new home. I have 1/2 an acre with a small pond. Other than the pond and a shed in need of some TLC there’s not much else going on in the backyard. I’m getting so many ideas from all of the beautiful gardens that have been featured. I’m a zone 5 and am so looking forward to spring!
I Sooooooo Love these video's I always hate for them to end!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of these with us. So many new ideas!!! You all Brighten My Day Everyday!!!❤❤
Bravo to the containers in the Netherlands!
Esp. loved the rhodo growing in the middle of the hedge wall at 8:24. You can see it's bones exposed in the before pic. I have cleared rogue bushes from arborvitae hedges and I immediately noticed the rhodo pushing through the middle in that photo. I was so happy to see how the gardeners incorporated the rhodo! I doubt that was the intention of the original designer, but it adds tremendously to the backdrop of this superb modern arrangement of planters. Bravo!
Thanks Laura and Aaron and very pleased you will continue this series on your highlights channel. The two channels do help to give us all the best of both worlds: your grand garden AND your more private thoughts, and reflections and personal memories. Brilliant, as always!
Good morning GA friends, we love this series.
Thank you all for sharing your lovely gardens
My favorite was the last garden…ALL were beautiful ❤
Thank you so much for keeping this series going. It is such a wonderful inspiration and motivator!! It definitely makes me want to tackle my builder’s original shoddy townhouse landscaping. Maybe I’ll be on here one day!
Laura and Aaron, I love your garden series and glad you will be continuing on your Highlights Channel. I get so many ideas from these submissions. I take screenshots of my favorites so I can scroll through the pictures at my leisure to obtain ideas for my own garden.
Love seeing everyone’s ideas, Beautiful, But Laura, your hair looks beautiful today, I can tell u got a trim and possibly a color🥰🥰🥰
Nice to see a contributor from Australia. Hope we have more some time. From Queensland
Good morning everyone!
Laura & Aaron, Pillars wouldn't be too hard or expensive to make. I sometimes watch videos about craftsmen doing their crafts lol. And the base can be formed out of brick or concrete blocks. Then they are coated with a limestone which can be smoothed out or etched to look like stone. It is a really fascinating topic. Even complete walls can be done in this manner so it can be more cost effective to build.
So many great ideas! Laura, it was so nice meeting you and Aaron yesterday in Seattle!
Nancy hi I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
Ooo i’m so glad I’m in California for the growing seasons it’s beautiful! 💗🙏🏻💗
So happy to hear you are continuing the series--thank you! I've been wanting to make some changes in my gardens and these gardens are so inspiring and filled with inviting vistas!
I LOVE this series of gardens! So many interesting things that people dream up to have such beautiful yards! Certainly causes envy and makes you want to work extra hard on your own space.
I LOVE this series! So many ideas & inspiration. Thank you for continuing to present these gardens shared by fellow followers.
June hi I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
The pillar reminds me of Claus Dalby and his slice of heaven.
All of the information makes my head go wild! But, today I liked the picture of the spiral around the tree, as I have that issue - right area next to a flower bed, over the last 12 years the tree has grown as well as the slope of the yard around - hard to mow… this will be a great solution to the problem and incorporate the flower bed which the edge is like a dry creek bed…. 😊
So many gorgeous gardens , so many talented people . The gardens were all so different and all I do is say things like wow ,oh my goodness ,oh I want that ,,, haha 🌸❤️🌼
love these gardens, makes me envy those who can plant in the ground. Being in a rental I am not allowed to make any changes to existing garden beds. So I garden in contaiiners and pots in my patio. An awesome Idea for a subject of one of these videos could be, non permanent gardening, or rental gardening. Im sure there are others in the same situation who have wonderful ideas.
I love this series....and both of your channels Laura and Aaron ~ for me all of your content is a breath of fresh air and of course beauty.
Dawn hi I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
You mentioned about watering your lawn. Here in the UK more and more of us aren’t mowing our lawn in May and keeping a little longer in the summer and not bothering to water. It goes brown, but it comes back and by not knowing you get Daisy some butter cups
Laura! YOU could SO DIY those pillars. Think of it as an Andrews' holiday project. You'll rock it!!
