I’m about to plant 10 Butterfly bushes on my property and I’m so excited! And may I say Samantha Grace’s take on life is everything…always dress in style, take time to stop and smell the flowers and kiss the statues…and sing your way through the day! ❤
So cute! We got to be more like her, it would do us a ton of good!❤
I’ve never grown out of that…and I am 66! lol. I have also never grown out of enjoying making a mess and attracting dirt….
Samantha kissing the statue made my day. I'm a gardening mom who always has our boys helping. These are the special moments that turn into the memories we hold onto. 💛
I noticed that too so sweet!
So sweet!
I was going to say the same!! Such a sweet moment!

I love being a member! My husband is now watching the videos with me. He enjoys them so much. We are both retired so it gives us something to do together that's special.
Laura telling us she gave her willow a mullet made my day. Truly, funnest most quirky way to describe the type of tree 'haircut' given. LOVE!
Business in the front, party in the back 😂
Cut my hair anyday!
Do you ever just look around and go This is where I live!!!!❤😊
What a blessing to see Samantha and Benjamin just hanging around you and Aaron as you guys are outside working. The time that you have with them is so precious and a joy. Just think of the videos that you can refer back to as the kids grow older. ❤😊
please bottle your energy and add it to your store!! i could sure use it... 😍love seeing the kids helping and Samantha talking and kissing that little statue, just precious!!! 🥰❤thanks for the video (an afternoon surprise!!) 🥰❤
A bottle of “Laura Energy” would be a big seller! 😂
Amen! I need a few bottles please!
May I have a bottle too. A touch of Laura’s hope, Samantha’s style, a dash of Benjamin’s charm and Aaron’s smarts and sass 😉. Thank you
@@be_you2023 yes!! 😬🙌
Super size it
You’re going to read this a lot. Samantha Grace kissing and gently touching the statue, sooo sweet. So glad the weeping willow didn’t get a bowl cut. 😂
Don’t you think she needs a baby sister?
@@user-ge7kt3es1ewhat makes you say that?
Nice to see Russell and Douglas so close to each other.
Anyone seen Cheddar lately?
@@DH-ku6qgwas just wondering where cheddar was too
Someone commented in the tour video that they killed him and that they knew the family. I don’t know if it’s true or not.
@@fancypinkg Not true. Who said it and when, since we just saw Cheddar recently in the greenhouse.
@@pollytiks3885which video?
I loved Samantha kissing the statue too. So sweet. I wonder what was going on in her imagination at that time.
Who remembers the year Aaron trimmed the willow tree and Laura's shock when she saw his handy work? It was hilarious.
Link the video below please.
Samantha kissing the statue stole the show .. and what looks like pulling flower petals and planting them both children are so precious!! 🥰🙌
Oh my goodness. Samantha was the hit of the video today. ♥️♥️♥️. I was drinking my morning coffee, watching your video and the mailman delivered my kneeling pad. It is amazing. I immediately kneeled down on it with my 70 year old knees and it is amazing. I can’t wait to get out in my garden with it. Thank you so much.
Mine is coming tomorrow, can’t wait!!
I used mine for the first time today...it IS truly the best ever!! Love it. It would make a great gift for any gardener! Just sayin.
Thank you Laura, Aaron & Garden Answer team for always giving us the best show on YT ❤
Love your boundless energy and vision for your garden. The way you take us through and show us the things that catch your eye and amaze you every day speaks to my heart. At 66 years old, my energy has dissipated to the point that a lot of gardening doesn’t get done anymore. I am at the point where I am resting on my laurels of gardening wins. Thank you for sharing your garden with us. ❤️😊
Yes, i do mostly container gardening at age 65. My next challenge is my grass. Its filled with violets, which some find pretty, but i love lush grass. I did have an above ground pool in the back yard that is now gone as is the wonderful deck that was built around it. My sons worked and worked and got it out but under the pool was a large (15x30) layer of sand that needs some soil on top to grow nice grass. Im just taking it in stages. This year while planting my pots, i noticed a large number of carpenter bees but haven't found a nest. In previous years they put a hole in my picnic bench. I dont want them attacking my deck. In the next few weeks i have a new shed, a new fence, and a retaining wall going in so right now theres alot on my plate. I planted plants around my shed last year without thinking that would make the rotting worse so maybe next year ill build boxes. Anyway, thats my simple gardening. Im 4 blocks from the water in Maryland. It used to be a lovely yard but years of no time from working, raising 4 kids, spending weekends at sporting events or dance events let the yard get out of hand. Im trying to get it back. Last year I planted mini skirt hostas, lilys of the valley, and peonies. They all came back this year along with 3 other plants I didnt keep the labels for. I have one gardenia bush and another hydrangea to put in the ground but this weekend and next i really hope to assemble my greenstalk and plant strawberries, mint, and jalapeños. My son is growing tomatoes but not in. The greenstalk. i also Have bee balm seeds, wild flower seeds, and cleome seeds. And finally, i nipped trumpet flower pods from the lady I care fors neighbor and im going to see if i can grow them. Thats it from Annapolis Maryland⚘️🏵🌸
I will never forget when Laura caught Aaron trimming the willow by the greenhouse 🤣🤣
Oh yes I remember that, I'm going back to watch again😂
Oh? When was that? I want to watch 🙂
I felt so bad for Aaron.
Russel and Douglas lounging in the grass was so beautiful to see 😍😍😍
My goodness. The whole area with the Heebee statue is soooo beautiful. That Russian Hawthorn is gorgeous. All the creeping Veronica is amazing. I remember in videos 3yrs ago I remember you saying Laura, your planting on Mars. Again looking at the whole area is just breath taking. The kiddos are sooo cuuuute. I love how you accidentally cut the drip, and you are just, oh well I will get a cup link and repair it. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us all next. Many blessings. Be blessed everyone.💙💙🌿🌿🌿🪴🪴🪴🪴
😂😂 Your greeting tone when seeing Douglas “hello Douglas” reminded me of Seinfeld … ‘Hello Neuman’ 😂😂, wondering what trouble is ahead!!😂 Samantha kissing the statue… priceless ❤️❤️
Hilarious. That’s exactly what it’s like. Douglas gets a very different greeting.
I only started gardening during Lock Down and searched for videos to learn and found You. Been watching ever since. It’s still a life lesson of patience for me. I have a vision in my mind but plants take time to grow and fill out and bloom. 😏 I have killed many plants over the years but I am determined to get green thumbs. 👍🏽💚 Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Same here! I found gardening videos, and then the gardening itself, to be a calming element during the stress of lockdowns/early COVID time. I have NO patience though haha! But it’s a fun process 😊
I’m always amazed by how much work you get done all by yourself and filming it all as well. I really admire your hard work and passion. So inspiring ❤
LOVE HEARING a LAWNMOWER in the background….it speaks progress to me and calms my Soul!
Me too! When I hear a lawnmower I go back to when I was growing up - lawns in my neighborhood being mowed Saturday morning and the scent of fresh cut grass everywhere. 😌
Love to see the kids helping! They are so cute and polite.
While I LOVE to see what your planting, when your planting and where your planting, I thank you very kindly that you are showing us what you planted and where you planted it. ❤️💐💚🙃
You were a busy bee Laura! 🐝 ❤ everything's looking fresh! 👌
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️
Those apricot-orange tulips where you planted the penstemon are breathtaking! Orange is such an underrated color in the gardening world. 🧡
Oh how I love it when you say "probably not today" that's when I perk up and really pay attention because I know it definitely will be today! I learn sooooo much from you when your cleaning up an area. I planted a good bit of the varigated iris that bloom purple and I have one bloom this year and it really does smell like grapes!🍇 Thank you!
I love seeing all the new plants, but seeing the kids helping out brings a smile to my face.
Your garden brings me so much joy and peace everyday. Thank you!
Watching you repair that drip made me really question my own inferior hand strength😂. I love that weeping willow!
Love the analogy of the haircut 💇🏼♂️ 😂
Afternoon Everyone 🥰🥰
Good afternoon to you and good morning to me! 🥰🥰
GAH!! Samantha kissing and hugging on that statue!!!🥰🥰🥰. I just wanted to reach into the tv and give her a big hug and kiss on the cheek! So sweet!
The ground cover is a great great idea. It is going to be beautiful, while at the same time, keeping your soil cool, and weed free.
Lovely video. That weeping Willow takes me back to my childhood (80 years ago) when I used to hide beneath the canopy shielded from the world. Magical. ❤
Who else nod in agreement when Laura says, “Do you remember…” 🙋🏽♀️ Lol
Great job on these 90 groundcover plants. I can't wait to see them carpet it up!
That pink butterfly bush is amazing!😍
That grass drop behind as you say,'the cooling green gives you something to rest your eyes on' is so lush and so green. I love this time of year when the green color pigment in all plants looks so vibrant and peaceful. Or as you mentioned,'cool and at rest.' ❤
so cute when Samantha hugs the statue lol, you are raising some seriously sweet and compassionate young people!
Oh my heart! Sweet Samantha talking with and kissing the little girl statue! Is this the one Aaron gave you years ago? When you don't have a sister, you find one on the lawn! Even before clean up, your gardens are amazing. Phoebe is stepping out!
Everytime you say “no deer in our area” I think bk to when the deer popped up shortly after 😂
I loved seeing the children, especially those little pigtails. 😂 Laura, when you prune, things just look so beautiful. ❤
I love videos like this when you just talk to us as if we're in the garden working side by side. It's a special gift you have to make us feel part of your life. Thanks so much for keeping company with us.
So wonderful to see the cats getting alone, & Samantha comforting the lonely girl statue. What a beautiful, fun, entertaining & as always productive video. Always amazed at how inspired I am.
The kissing of the statue was just so precious. The willow is just gorgeous
Yay!! Another video for my lunch break!!
Samantha kissing the statue was sooo sweet. Such a pure heart in that little girl
She has great influences in her life!❤❤❤
Good Morning! 🌷Gorgeous crabapple!! Samantha is so cute playing with the statue! 🥰🌿💚
Kid's play area is going to look amazing. How about decorating the play house with flower boxes? Maybe add a small covered picnic area, cute benches for the kids and their own little gardening area where they can grow their own plants? Lots of peonies and hydrangeas and canopy trees and flower planters. And of course a sandbox with a lid so that the cats can't into them. A path around the play area so they can bicycle and have fun. Love what you do for your kids. ps. don't forget the hopscotch 🤩
Love how Benjamin and Samatha love helping you in garden. They learn so much about your garden and retain all the knowledge you are teaching them. I remember babysitting my twin grandsons and every summer as soon as I’d start digging in the garden they’d have their little noses in the holes I was digging looking for worms or the rolly roly polys. They called worms squirmy wormies and announced each find they made. It kept them busy for hours, and we all had lots of fun. 😍 😍
We had a weeping willow when I was a child, and I remember putting my doll furniture under it and pretending it was my house.
Oh my gosh, same! I had a “fort” under our willow & would spend hours there. The rest of my family would be enjoying our swimming pool and doing other activities, but I preferred to be under the willow tree by myself. 😊
So happy to see Samantha Grace and Benjamin so grown up I having seen them for a while since I had a problem with my computer Lots of hugs 🤗 🤗 Laura love all of your Vlogs and your tips 👍🏻…thank you for sharing 🤗 “GOD BLESSE”🙏🏻😇 “Happy Mother’s Day” For You,Your Mom, & Your Sister 💐💐💐🤗🤗🤗
Hi Laura, Aaron and kiddos, Everything is looking so beautiful! You teach me a lot everyday! Lots of new fun changes going on at your place! Cannot wait for the addition of extended pond area. It will be so beautiful! Thanks for all you do!🌺
Thanks for this lovely video! I love how spring is coming on!❤❤❤
I loved seeing you in one the the “original” flower beds.. I always loved when you would plant that space up & honestly, I miss it a bit! lol.. kind of like the chicken coop flower bed. However, I love, love all the new spaces too! Samantha Grace giving her little statue friend a kiss and hug was the sweetest thing ever 🥹😊♥️
Laura, your videos inspire me every day! Just when i think I’m gonna take a break from planting, you give me ideas and inspiration to get back out there and make my garden even more lovely! Thank you!
It is such a joy watching your children play while you work😍😍
One of those perfect photo moments - 2 plants and a precious moment with Samantha! so enjoyed this episode.
My son joined me when he was little. He soaked in every piece of information which has served him well. ❤
Your kids are such a big help. Wonderful memories ❤.
Lovely! Laura could you do a video for those of us who are budget conscious. How do we get the most bang for our buck when there aren't as many bucks to go around this year...???
I cant believe how the prices in our nursery here went up this year!! Shrubs that were 35.00 and 40.00 last year are 50. and 60.00.this year! I am SO glad I filled my beds several years ago !!😮
😐 Seen a landscape designer use a raised bed area to develop a source for shrub plantings....so u assume she let them get to a certain height, pull to where want them and replant the nursery bed. 🌱🌲 Wonder if wildfires affected any companies
Laura you work SO hard, and make it all look so easy! It's a joy to watch you! And how you balance your family, and all the rest, amazing 👏 🤩 👏
Wow I can’t believe I’ve been watching for you about 8 years now. Give or take.. I started watching your channel while you lived on this house. That’s wild to me. How has time gone by like this?
My daughter got me a butterfly bush last year for my birthday. I absolutely love it 😀. I'm in Ontario Canada
Samantha what a sweet heart kissing the statue, so adorable 😊 you did a beautiful job with a weeping willow as usual. I love your garden, can’t wait to see the next tour. Thanks for sharing with us your gorgeous garden😀
That Creeping Veronica is going to look so INCREDIBLE when they're all filed in, I can't wait to see them in full creeping mode! Samantha kissing the statue was just so adorable! 😘 I miss Russell following you around. I just can't warm up to Douglas the way I did with Russell. I'm reminder of how fast time is flying every time I see your garden. My has it grown! Your property OBVIOUSLY makes the surrounding properties more valuable.
Received my kneeling pad today (5/2/24). I love the large size and feel of the pad!!!
Samantha kissing the statue was sooo sweet ❤❤️
Great video, little Samantha and Benjamin is always a sweet memory.
So much beauty everywhere. Your children are living the best life ❤
I really love how you plant in mass. Mostly, all of your plants make a dramatic statement. Love it!
I love that he is turning all the orcs to stone! The children are so beautiful and angelic! I learn so much from these videos Thank you for posting them. But I had to laugh out loud when he said that!❤
For some reason, this is one of my favorite videos and I don’t know why, except that it’s just like an every day in the life of. seeing the kids come and go Samantha kissing the girls to you push me right over the edge but Leah get Miss Molly, Leah oh my God I have to find a space in my yard for that that is just unbelievable. I love how you talk and how you get things and get it taken care of, I think of your plans to get to have you get so excited over plants that are popping up. I feel like I have a sister I get the same way when something is starting to bloom at my house. Thank you so much for sharing your love, gardening and your family. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Ahhh! Samantha dancing with and kissing the statue was so cute. Kids are the absolute most precious things ever.
Both myself and my daughter grew up hiding under the willow trees. Reading, resting, fantasizing. They are a great hideaway for kids.
Samantha kissing the statue! 🥰 So sweet! Question! Does Paul run individual emitters through the Veronica (or ground-covers in general) or just the drip tube weaved through? I’d love to see his process sometime! 😊
Immediately sold on the Penstemon. So much so that I picked some up from a local nursery yesterday.
Nice to see Russel and Douglas getting along but where is cheddar? We haven’t seen him in quite a while.
Two videos ago or so ,someone commented that they kill him. The commenter said to know the family’. I don’t know if it’s true or not but I doubt Laura would answer your question.
Loved all the plants in this one! So cute to see Samantha kiss the statue.!
You commented on finding something to put in your circular patio. Try a low cement fountain that has a low bubbler with no center feature. They are very low to the ground and they are quietly elegant and you can still see the Hartley. Not sure how to add a photo for you.
Your hair looks beautiful Laura! As does your garden! God bless you all and ☦️ many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ☦️ 🙏🏻 💙 ❤️
I’d like to recommend “Georgia Blue” creeping Veronica as well. One of my favorites
Would love to see an update on ur sister's yard an see ur moms when she's finished with her new landscaping
Love how Sammy is playing with the statue LOL how cute is she! Your yard is so heavenly
Yay! An extra video!! Loving this. I’m in need of some more shade loving plants for an area in my garden. What are those ferns at 21:29 and would love to know their dimensions. Thanks Laura and Aaron for all you do! This channel is my daily happy place!!
I love watching your videos, you have made me fall in love with my garden. I’m in Australia - for a while I was confused about why you were treating perennials as annuals and then I realised your winter kills half of what we consider perennials 😂 it seems like your winter must kill all your weeds as well! I need that!
The veronica under the birch is lovely.
Love your energy.
Beautiful area with and under that willow….a magical little hidden garden.so cute to see Samantha with her little statue friend who is just her size❤
Such a great job Laura❤
Good morning! The Hebee statue looks so much better when the Willow is trimmed up! I would have raised up the back of the tree too though! So many pretty plants to see. Loved Samantha kissing the statue, so cute! Is Cheddar still around haven’t really seen him recently?
Thanks Laura!
Laura, your channel is a breath of fresh air for me. I look forward to your videos everyday! Been a follower for a couple of years now and must I say I am loving EVERYTHING you’re doing on your property!
Loved Samantha having fun with the statue & kitties laying peacefully. All the new plants look great.!
Everything is looking so lush. Love those Mentons!
Oh my! The clean up was so enjoyable to watch! ❤
Just plant a few more Miss Molly's. That colour is just amazing.
2:25 Slight slip of the tongue for the groundcover hardiness: ZONE 3 is hardy to -40. I live in MN Zone 4 hardy to -30. I've memorized my zone from Laura giving hardiness stats.👍Knowing one's zone comes in handy when shopping for plants. 🪴I LOVE Penstemon! I'm growing some from seed this year. We'll see how it goes. LOVE the Buddleia, too. Good golly, Miss Molly! It's so cool when you find the perfect spot for a plant or shrub. Thanks for the transplant updates. It reaffirms that plants can easily survive and thrive when moved from one part of the garden to another.
