Oh my goodness girl! You wear whatever you want, do whatever you want, and ignore all these judgy people. You are such a blessing to me. I love seeing your excitement over the Hartley, and I could care less if you wear a pony tail. Sending hugs and prayers sweet girl.
I don't get people worrying about her hair and clothes, I'm looking at the garden. There is another garden youtuber that wears makeup and people comment on that all the time. Why???
@@misstrcarter It's this generation, so brainwashed and all wrapped up in the outward appearance instead seeing true inward and natural beauty, in which Laura has both!
No, thank YOU. I've received more gardening education from you than I ever could from an expensive college and it's way more fun! AND you got us through that terrible quarantine year. You'll never know what that meant. Some days your videos were the best that happened that day and helped us keep our sanity. It was an even trade for sure
I was rewatching this Sunday morning & my husband who knows I just love them both, he said, they both sound so nice!❤️. I said if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t know half the stuff I do know now!
I nominate Aaron as the one to deal with the neighbors. Laura seems a little reluctant, and he is perfectly comfortable and natural. It's okay to stay in your lane Laura, it makes for a great team!
IMO, if the subject came up in a conversation with the neighbor about planting trees on their property, you could offer. But I’m with Laura. I think to just “out of the blue” bring it up and suggest it to them, might be a bit presumptuous. After all, if they wanted trees there, they would probably have put some in. A lot depends on how well you know them on a social level.
They could start the conversation just by simply asking if the view of their storage bothers them. And since many people will deny it, even if it does.... then he could just say, "Well, if you ever get to the point where it does, please just let me know. We would be willing to plants some trees for you for free if you would like them." Then just leave it up to the neighbor to let them know. It doesn't have to be a big thing. Just a friendly offer...
Omgosh.. ikr. My last child was a boy (24 now) and he has just always been my sweet boy. ♥️ all her comments about how sweet Benjamin is just takes me back to when my son was young. It goes by so fast. 😭
Your privacy fence dilemma reminds me of when my brother was tired of seeing the neighbor's discarded toilet on their front porch for weeks and he ended up asking them if he could have it and they were surprised and said yes and he carted it off to the dump. :)
Laura, you, Aaron and your sweet family have given us all so much joy over the years, so it’s such a beautiful thing to see you so happy about the Hartley. Thank you for sharing your joy with us and we all feel so privileged to be a part of bringing it about, however small that is. You have worked very hard to get to where you are and deserve all things good. ❤️
"OK im gonna go know" Girl please, I truly think most of us love how you ramble on! At least I do. You have so much knowledge and that's how I learn. I also love how you go off topic too! Thanks for being you.... much love ❤❤ StL Missouri
💚Oh Laura, you are so adorable, and Aaron, too….Benjamin and Samantha Grace are more adorable, but that’s their job. I enjoy your enthusiasm and great smile, couldn’t care less what you wear or how you do your hair. You are so professional and always happy, and trust me, we need more people like you in this world today. Can’t wait to see you all in the Hartley. You deserve all the happiness the world can give 🦋💙❤️🤗
I love everything you said about the kids not being in videos. To many people parade their kids around for views. Please continue to let your kids have their private childhoods and don't put them in videos.
My opinion,, I think Laura and Aaron had a great response to that question. To Keep life ordinary, Benjamin wanders out while she ifilming & working in their garden, he is a part of the video for a bit, but not showcased, nor is Samantha Grace. Benjamin is too young to realize they are in their own right, Celebrities. Now, both the cats seem to always make their entrance in about every video..haha, with Laura's knowledge or not.
@@carolynmangipudi9898 I agree, I just hate seeing people stage their kids and feed them lines to make the video. I know Laura would never fall into that and I really enjoy that part of her videos.
I agree. Although I love children, I don't necessarily want to be overwhelmed by them when I'm looking at a gardening channel. Some videos are becoming too focused on the kids and thereby losing the main theme which is gardening.
You said to let you know what we like to see. I don’t know if I am alone but I could watch a cut flower garden tour once a week! I love all of your videos but I especially love to see how fast the seeds turn into plants and then start flowering. Please do more cut flower tours!!
People don't understand that other people are different lol like my family, no way can we have long sleeves and work outside we will die haha but my brother works outside so he has to. It's just preference and people are bugged by everything now 🙄
You mentioned that you'd like to know what we'd like to see. Well, I watch everything, but I particularly like maintenance videos. I'd also like something about companion/succession planting. For example, my foxgloves are done blooming, and it looks so bare around them. What would be good to plant around/under them that blooms after them? Or if you could point to some resources...thanks? PS My husband and I are with you on the nickname thing. It's not for us. LOL
YES to maintenance videos. YES to companion planting. YES to succession planting. I have so much to learn and am grateful for everything you show, successes, failures and everything in between. You have NO idea how helpful you and Aaron are to me. Thankful, thankful. 💜
@Terry A Thank you for mentioning this...Laura and Aaron, In addition, how to restore antique gardens tools such as I inherited - shovels, hoes, pitch fork, and use them decoratively ... maybe? How to create outdoor garden rooms within an overall landscape. Will you ever host a retreat? How about tips and tricks for us scrawny, short gals over 50 who don't want to greet our hubbies at the end of every day with a punch list of garden chores. I'm retired but hubby is not. Will the auger rotate me or will it work easily in clay? How much kick power do I need for that foot weeder? How many of what size bag of compost is reasonable to push on a hand cart down a garden path? I LOVE that you show the various products and plants and mention names. And the hose reel! Wow. Just thanks for working so hard for us and for loving what you do.
Laura you are beautiful inside out. I can’t imagine ANYONE finding fault in you. You are such a compassionate giving person. Amazing mother and teacher for all us new gardeners. . I am 61 and started gardening because of you. I don’t have resources to do the things you do but little at a time when I can afford it I buy what I can and my little garden is growing. I love your channel so much and appreciate your honesty concerning products you teach us about. You are loved more than you know. We love Aaron and both Benjamin and Samantha Grace. Love your sweet mother and family too. God richly bless you all. Thank you so very much for your videos and all you do. Your sweet family is amazing. I love your beautiful face saying hey guys. I would be so sad if your channel ever ended. Love you all so much God bless.
@@Funtravelingwithus Nice! I can only dream of that kind of garden! Most of my landscape done on my own is limited mainly by finances, but i have most everything in pots around my house because the soil is just clay! I love love watching Laura's channel and i just dream!!💕🌻
I do that too, mostly because I cannot walk that fast anymore to keep up with it reeling back up. You do need to put some tension on it to keep it from going too fast. This old gal is aging fast. Hate these 80s.
Feedback...LOVE, LOVE,LOVE to watch you do floral arrangements. It’s the pinnacle validation of your efforts to plan for, grow and harvest your flowers.
I need a greenhouse with a chandelier!!! My new bucket list item. I just went and watched the old video from 2 years ago with the cute representative 😜
I absolutely love the mix of projects. When you’re doing something as grand a huge as your new property and the Hartley. It’s nice to see small, crafty things and fun trips with your mom. We love it all!!
I love these recap videos because You two are so natural together and it’s so wonderful to see that. Laura is just adorable and she’s so funny in this one. Keep them coming because it’s so nice to be able to sit and laugh during these trying times!
The Hartley is so stunning! I watched that video this morning while sitting in my garden and just tried to imagine one in my garden 💚🌸😍 I would never leave!
I like the variety of videos - gardening, flower bed design, plant info, crafts, drink recipes... all of it. I personally like those re infrastructure and construction. I’d like to see more videos how you built the hardscape items on the new property (fence screening wall, wood bed frames, compost bins, etc) That’s always helpful to see.
“I like pretty things to look at” Oh I’m so with you Laura, pretty plants, arrangements or displays they all bring a smile to my face. Thanks again your content is diverse and always so informative. Take care
Laura seeing you so excited and happy over the Hartley is very infectious and the vast majority of us are tickled right along with you for you! ❤ Congratulations on a dream achieved!
@@jgwood10 Did I mention including the kids? No. Just thought it would be nice to see the garden at dusk. Recently watched another TH-camr tour her garden in the early evening and it was a lovely video.
I will watch you do anything laura, your my kind of cup of tea , don't worry if you didn't have alot of viewers on your driftwood the ones you did loved it, me included
Laura....id watch you doing laundry!! Seriously though, i love whatever you do, ive loved the fairy gardens, container gardening, going antiquing...i love it all.
Of course ,I will watch any video you put out ... I do like to see ,or be reminded, when to plant and when to harvest ... like the garlic harvest was perfect timing for me ! Next are onions , I think 🤔😁 thanks for helping keep me on track.
I love your videos of all varieties. I like the videos on different topics like cocktails, fairy gardens and other table top planters, your antiquing adventures, etc. They make for a nice diversity, but are never too frequent that they start feeling like you are moving away from your garden story. Thanks for your innate sense of when to sprinkle in the interesting misc. topics.
I would totally love seeing videos focusing on the evolution of specific areas in your garden. How they have changed and how perennials, trees and shrubs developed throughout the years 😍
The side tracking and talking about random stuff with Aaron are what I enjoy most. A lot of the comments seem to be stuff that has been talked about so many times already and if people just watched and listened to the videos they'd know. Well now I'm turning into a cranky old lady! Oh well. Back to the video
As an Aussie I can say that my local family owned nursery definitely has some proven winners plants available but if you research the plant a little you can also find the same plant... with a less *jazzy* name. Lol. It truly pays to locate your small local nursery and not shop at a big nursery/warehouse like Bunnings. Hope that helps someone.
@@rosemaryantonucci7529 My comment was not criticism, it was validation that she was using both well and good appropriately. And yes, I taught English.
Laura, I’m so excited for you to have The Hartley. Please continue to call it by its name. I feel the same excitement as I’ve been watching you for a year and leading and purchasing plants then creating my garden plan. It was just installed this week and I can’t stop talking about it. It’s exciting to see your dreams come true. Thanks for all your inspiration this year and I look forward to many more years of content. I’m learning so much. You are a great teacher. Now I’m thinking about adding a fountain. All because your encouragement.
My grandad always wore long sleeve shirts and pants, Dickey brand I believe. Always! And he had the most beautiful and large garden all year, every year. Oh, and the hat. My oldest brother got the hat when he died. It is cooler with a button down shirt. He told me when you sweat, and the breeze comes, then it cools you off. Bless his heart. What a fine man. Thanks for that memory. You and Aaron are such blessings. I would not even read those challenging comments about what you or anyone wears or does. Like Aaron said, you do you. And God bless you both. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
This channel is really unique giving highlights, behind the scene and extra info about the videos on your main channel. Never seen anyone come up with this idea. Enjoy these videos. Thank you 🤗🌱
Bought a new home to accommodate by mother who is experiencing dementia from being isolated during pandemic. Your videos are a life saver for my sanity. I had lost my joy for gardening but watching your videos have given me new inspiration. My neighbors tells my yard looks like a botanical garden. That Hose would be amazing Thanks Laura.
Aaron that "thing" you built here in Minnesota is called a drag. Dad made one out of metal a bedspring mattress thingy for our gravel driveway. Great job. Laura you are the sweetest so glad you took the time to help the quail. Love the tutorials and seeing your mom. Have a cooler summer. Hugs from Minnesota
I also wanted to say, since you asked, that my favorite videos are the re-cap videos, videos where you're goofing off w/your Mom and doing fun stuff like antiquing or making cocktails, and the everyday videos where you show what projects you are doing or how everything is progressing. I just love your channel, and I am so happy for you that you are doing so well!
I can't believe I didn't watch this highlight channel before! I love to listen to you talk about all of these things, which is why I'm loving the videos of you just doing your thing with the voiceover.
Thank you, for your teachings, inspiration, positivity ( which is contagious). Laura, people love you for who YOU are, never change unless you want to💞 Be blessed
I love and so appreciate all of the videos that are exclusively about landscape gardening. I also like the newer style of “chore landscape maintenance” with the audio track over. You really provide Garden Answer(s) and with more scale than most of us can manage. I would love to see more landscape work from inexpensive sources: seeds, propagation, and 2” or 4” pots grown into an entire bed over time. Thank you!
VIDEOS WE LIKE: 1. GARDEN TOURS 2. CUT FLOWERS AND MAKING ARRANGEMENTS 3. PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE 4. ANY VIDEO WITH BENJAMIN, THE CATS, AND LAURA'S MOM!!
I loved the driftwood plant piece! It was a welcome change and it’s still about planting. I would’ve never thought about wrapping the roots. You have opened more ways to plant for me and I’m sure others. So, thank you. For those that didn’t care for it, brush it off. Not everyone is going to like everything about gardening, like I despise weeding. But, I’m sure glad you shown products it use to combat these nasty buggers. Hats off to you guys, keep on doing you. A lot of us love watching all your content.
You guys are so cute too watch!! Funny, knowledgeable, cute and bubbly!! I just love your video's!! I wish we were IRL friends!! What a beautiful family and homestead you have!!❤️❤️👍
I love when you do the little side projects with the plants and succulents. I really miss your succulent fairy gardens. Thank you for all the inspiration, information and kindness! Much love!💖
Could you possibly please do a video about the different bugs, maybe what they look like and what the leaves would look like also? And what to use for such problems. I could learn a lot from such. Thanks
OMG! I watch and listen to you and Aaron daily and have for years. Today's video was no exception, but when you said that you would love to go to Longwood Gardens I had to write you. I live in the east coast and have a designed membership for Longwood Gardens. I try to go as frequently as I can throughout all four seasons asking with my girlfriends. I would be more than happy, and thrilled to the core, if you ever wanted to travel to the east coast for vacation and join me as my guests on a Longwood Gardens adventure. I missed meeting you at the Philadelphia Flower Show several years ago.🙄 Longwood Gardens is always worth the trip!! Sharon L
Thank You BOTH also much for everything you do! Sure, we all watch you and contribute to your success, BUT the knowledge and personality you guys have is what keeps peeps coming back! Laura and Aaron, the fact that you are so you, not fake is your success! I love the fact that you share not only gardening videos, but your kids, your parents, your outings, cooking, etc… This past year was so very difficult, and for me gardening was everything, from keeping me from getting so down and out. You guys are NATURALS!!
I will likely never have use for a greenhouse, and really will probably never have one. But your joy over the Hartley is so contagious. I’m so happy for you!
I do hope you get to visit Longwood Gardens! I grew up 20 minutes away. When my children the ages of yours, once a month I would leave work early during the week and decompress walking through the gorgeous gardens there. It is the best garden I've ever visited. Too many features to see in one day. My two favorite all-time gardening activities are the Philadephia Flower Show & Longwood Gardens. You put Mackinac Island on my bucket list! Thanks for all you do for us!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the miniature tabletop garden!! Please keep mixing it up like this. You inspire me to try different things myself. I just made a little succulent garden for my family because I was inspired by your garden.
I ordered from proven winners because of you > wish I could have accredited you in the process but no option for that > don’t need to have a discount just to let them know how much you are driving buyers to their biz > love what I bought
Dear Laura and Aaron, it is such a pleasure to watch your excitement during this time (Hartley installation). I have never felt more as though I was living ‘vicariously’ through someone else. This is ‘your moment’. You work hard, you inspire others, and you have made a very positive impact within the gardening community. Please continue to savour every moment and share your joy with us. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I often drink my morning coffee, still in my pyjamas while watching (and loving) your videos. That is, watching you work your butt off while I sip coffee in my pyjamas, wishing I had your energy and and your drive. I would not dare to criticize you, and neither should anyone else. Team Garden Answer provides consistently amazing content each and every post. You have earned every piece of that beautiful greenhouse and I for one am looking forward to seeing it featured in future videos. I am over the moon happy that you are realizing a dream and would absolutely bring in a Christmas tree to see how it would look in there, even if it is July!!!
Oh my goodness girl! You wear whatever you want, do whatever you want, and ignore all these judgy people. You are such a blessing to me. I love seeing your excitement over the Hartley, and I could care less if you wear a pony tail. Sending hugs and prayers sweet girl.
Well said ❤️😁
Pam...agreed! Her energy and drive are her clothing!!
I don't get people worrying about her hair and clothes, I'm looking at the garden. There is another garden youtuber that wears makeup and people comment on that all the time. Why???
Laura looks great in all her videos. I look like a swamp rat when I work in my garden. She can wear whatever she wants.

Truth!!! 💕
TRUTH!
TRUTH❤️
I second that comment. Perfectly said!!!
Yes, a week in the hospital on bed-rest. Watched a lot of the previous videos.
What a class act thanking the viewers for their success and enabling them to buy the Hartley. I didn't think I could like Laura any more but I do.
I totally agree with you. Laura and Aaron are sweet people. Makes me feel good to think I had a tiny part in their Hartley. 🌺

They may want trees but cannot afford them, or have other priorities.
Why do I think Laura will win this point and the offer will never be made to the neighbors? Go Aaron! Asking is free.
When you talked about pet names and told us what Benjamin calls you, I almost cried. He is just so precious.
Omgosh.. ikr. My last child was a boy (24 now) and he has just always been my sweet boy. ♥️ all her comments about how sweet Benjamin is just takes me back to when my son was young. It goes by so fast. 😭
Both my boys called me "Honey" most of the time. It was the sweetest. I miss it.
@@staceyallard2692 Awww my baby boy is 24 also. Was, and is the sweetest. Ugh, it really does go by so fast.

Nice! I can only dream of that kind of garden! Most of my landscape done on my own is limited mainly by finances, but i have most everything in pots around my house because the soil is just clay! I love love watching Laura's channel and i just dream!!💕🌻
"I'm actually just thinking about the Hartley right now." 🤣🤣🤣 Way to dodge Laura lol
Your hard work is making this possible!! And we love being along for the ride!!!!!🌷🌻💕
I can honestly say I loved your Woodland garden project it was amazing. Now I want to find those little small hostas that you've had.
I felt like you explained pretty well about the eggs in the original video, you do your thing and ignore them. PS THAT HARTLEY! 😍
I keep a supply of rags in my potting shed and just hold it over the hose as it reels back on. That way it stays fairly clean. I love my Hoselink!
I do that too, mostly because I cannot walk that fast anymore to keep up with it reeling back up. You do need to put some tension on it to keep it from going too fast. This old gal is aging fast. Hate these 80s.
Love this video of the two of you chatting away. I am a granny in Cape Town South Africa.
Perfect timing! Prepping dinner. Congratulations on the Hartley!! 🏡 It’s a stunning addition to your home. 🤩Your excitement is palpable!!! 🥂
Feedback...LOVE, LOVE,LOVE to watch you do floral arrangements. It’s the pinnacle validation of your efforts to plan for, grow and harvest your flowers.
Bless you. Your excitement is infectious. Thank you, both.
If a neighbor came and asked to plant a privacy screen on my land I'd say NO but feel free to plant one on yours!😊
I would say yes. I don't like to see my garbage from my lovely yard.
I'd take them up on it. Natural privacy fences are expensive.

Thank you for respecting your children's privacy. They are so lucky to have you guys as parents. :)
I will watch you do anything laura, your my kind of cup of tea , don't worry if you didn't have alot of viewers on your driftwood the ones you did loved it, me included
As a paleontologist, I am in full long pants, long sleeve shirt and broad rimmed hat doing fieldwork.
@@wordsalad01 same clothes for both :)
@@wordsalad01 I have certainly had a few of all of those!
I wear long sleeves,pants and hat when working too. I found my arms & legs don’’t scratched and less bug bites.
Ross?
@@karthikmohan8821 Haha he wasn't the best representation of the field =] but yeah
Laura....id watch you doing laundry!! Seriously though, i love whatever you do, ive loved the fairy gardens, container gardening, going antiquing...i love it all.
You both are so adorable! Please know that you both do such a fantastic job! Keep up the good work. Many continued Blessings on your entire family. 🥰
Thanking your viewers for the Hartley shows what a special person you are!! Love your excitement!
Of course ,I will watch any video you put out ... I do like to see ,or be reminded, when to plant and when to harvest ... like the garlic harvest was perfect timing for me ! Next are onions , I think 🤔😁 thanks for helping keep me on track.
“Your mind is in your garden”! Oh what a wonderful place for your mind to be! My mind is always in my garden, best place in the world!
I love your videos of all varieties. I like the videos on different topics like cocktails, fairy gardens and other table top planters, your antiquing adventures, etc. They make for a nice diversity, but are never too frequent that they start feeling like you are moving away from your garden story. Thanks for your innate sense of when to sprinkle in the interesting misc. topics.
I would totally love seeing videos focusing on the evolution of specific areas in your garden. How they have changed and how perennials, trees and shrubs developed throughout the years 😍
The side tracking and talking about random stuff with Aaron are what I enjoy most. A lot of the comments seem to be stuff that has been talked about so many times already and if people just watched and listened to the videos they'd know. Well now I'm turning into a cranky old lady! Oh well. Back to the video
I love seeing the little projects. I actually did a couple fairy gardens from your instructions! Love it!
As an Aussie I can say that my local family owned nursery definitely has some proven winners plants available but if you research the plant a little you can also find the same plant... with a less *jazzy* name. Lol. It truly pays to locate your small local nursery and not shop at a big nursery/warehouse like Bunnings. Hope that helps someone.
All those times Benjamin comes out to help you, he is doing "good".
Absolutely. There's nothing wrong with Laura's English. 👍⚘
Hello Grandma I remember my grandma being VERY kind go criticize your grands Are you a English Professor?
@@rosemaryantonucci7529 My comment was not criticism, it was validation that she was using both well and good appropriately. And yes, I taught English.
Congrats again on the Hartley! That video made my morning 🌹💜
I like to see realistic gardening for the every day person. Garden beds around the house, ideas, techniques, etc.
Laura, I’m so excited for you to have The Hartley. Please continue to call it by its name. I feel the same excitement as I’ve been watching you for a year and leading and purchasing plants then creating my garden plan. It was just installed this week and I can’t stop talking about it. It’s exciting to see your dreams come true. Thanks for all your inspiration this year and I look forward to many more years of content. I’m learning so much. You are a great teacher. Now I’m thinking about adding a fountain. All because your encouragement.
For video ideas- maybe some cement based projects: leaf impressions made into stepping stones or pots?
Yes! Diy plant related stuff like that!
Great idea ,I made a beautiful bird bath from a huge Rhubarb leaf pressed into wet cement in sand !Hi from Tasmania Australia and happy gardening!
I would also love cement projects for fall.
My grandad always wore long sleeve shirts and pants, Dickey brand I believe. Always! And he had the most beautiful and large garden all year, every year. Oh, and the hat. My oldest brother got the hat when he died. It is cooler with a button down shirt. He told me when you sweat, and the breeze comes, then it cools you off. Bless his heart. What a fine man. Thanks for that memory. You and Aaron are such blessings. I would not even read those challenging comments about what you or anyone wears or does. Like Aaron said, you do you. And God bless you both. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
This channel is really unique giving highlights, behind the scene and extra info about the videos on your main channel. Never seen anyone come up with this idea. Enjoy these videos. Thank you 🤗🌱
Bought a new home to accommodate by mother who is experiencing dementia from being isolated during pandemic. Your videos are a life saver for my sanity. I had lost my joy for gardening but watching your videos have given me new inspiration. My neighbors tells my yard looks like a botanical garden. That Hose would be amazing Thanks Laura.
OMG! I have never heard the phrase "romancing the ordinary". That is so beautiful.
Haha,
Steven, that’s Laura’s thing. I had never heard it until a bout 3-4 years ago when I started watching her.
That is her mother’s line that she borrows.
I laughed when Laura said "I'm just thinking about the Hartley''!! If she wore t-shirt's, I'd send her one with that written on it, lol!!
Aaron that "thing" you built here in Minnesota is called a drag. Dad made one out of metal a bedspring mattress thingy for our gravel driveway. Great job. Laura you are the sweetest so glad you took the time to help the quail. Love the tutorials and seeing your mom. Have a cooler summer. Hugs from Minnesota
It is ‘good’ that you are all doing ‘well’.
Oh another one!!!! Go k
Go clean your bathroom 🚽 Keep your self busy
We went to Longwood Gardens for my 35th Birthday and it was wonderful!! You and Arron are always on the go and y’all deserve a real vacation!!
You two make me laugh and chuckle through the whole video, every time. THANK YOU for the smiles.
I also wanted to say, since you asked, that my favorite videos are the re-cap videos, videos where you're goofing off w/your Mom and doing fun stuff like antiquing or making cocktails, and the everyday videos where you show what projects you are doing or how everything is progressing. I just love your channel, and I am so happy for you that you are doing so well!
You deserve this Hartley!! It’s going t0 be so beautiful!!💕💕
I just adore watching you and Aaron bouncing back and forth with these recaps!
Love watching the project videos, appreciate the variety of content you put together for viewers.
💚 Laura's coffe mug
I can't believe I didn't watch this highlight channel before! I love to listen to you talk about all of these things, which is why I'm loving the videos of you just doing your thing with the voiceover.
Imagine touring the Butchart Gardens for us! Such a beautiful place.
Thank you, for your teachings, inspiration, positivity ( which is contagious). Laura, people love you for who YOU are, never change unless you want to💞 Be blessed
I love and so appreciate all of the videos that are exclusively about landscape gardening. I also like the newer style of “chore landscape maintenance” with the audio track over. You really provide Garden Answer(s) and with more scale than most of us can manage. I would love to see more landscape work from inexpensive sources: seeds, propagation, and 2” or 4” pots grown into an entire bed over time. Thank you!
VIDEOS WE LIKE: 1. GARDEN TOURS 2. CUT FLOWERS AND MAKING ARRANGEMENTS 3. PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE 4. ANY VIDEO WITH BENJAMIN, THE CATS, AND LAURA'S MOM!!
💯 % Spot. On!
What's the other videos? I like her Christmas videos.
I think it’s gorgeous Laura that you are so excited over the Hartley .. it’s good to see 🌼
Thank you for uploading this tonight
I loved the driftwood plant piece! It was a welcome change and it’s still about planting. I would’ve never thought about wrapping the roots. You have opened more ways to plant for me and I’m sure others. So, thank you. For those that didn’t care for it, brush it off. Not everyone is going to like everything about gardening, like I despise weeding. But, I’m sure glad you shown products it use to combat these nasty buggers. Hats off to you guys, keep on doing you. A lot of us love watching all your content.
You guys are so cute too watch!! Funny, knowledgeable, cute and bubbly!! I just love your video's!! I wish we were IRL friends!! What a beautiful family and homestead you have!!❤️❤️👍
I’m in for the weekly new drink!
I don't use alcohol but I love the setting and the time with you two together.
On my word, beyond precious Benjamin calling you his best girl!
We need LIVE videos with you guys where we can post questions live!!! Peace and love to you both!
I love when you do the little side projects with the plants and succulents. I really miss your succulent fairy gardens. Thank you for all the inspiration, information and kindness! Much love!💖
Could you possibly please do a video about the different bugs, maybe what they look like and what the leaves would look like also? And what to use for such problems. I could learn a lot from such. Thanks
OMG! I watch and listen to you and Aaron daily and have for years. Today's video was no exception, but when you said that you would love to go to Longwood Gardens I had to write you. I live in the east coast and have a designed membership for Longwood Gardens. I try to go as frequently as I can throughout all four seasons asking with my girlfriends. I would be more than happy, and thrilled to the core, if you ever wanted to travel to the east coast for vacation and join me as my guests on a Longwood Gardens adventure. I missed meeting you at the Philadelphia Flower Show several years ago.🙄 Longwood Gardens is always worth the trip!!
Sharon L
I LOVE that you mix things up, you sure touch on lots of things I like to watch anyway!!!
Thank You BOTH also much for everything you do! Sure, we all watch you and contribute to your success, BUT the knowledge and personality you guys have is what keeps peeps coming back! Laura and Aaron, the fact that you are so you, not fake is your success! I love the fact that you share not only gardening videos, but your kids, your parents, your outings, cooking, etc… This past year was so very difficult, and for me gardening was everything, from keeping me from getting so down and out. You guys are NATURALS!!
I will likely never have use for a greenhouse, and really will probably never have one. But your joy over the Hartley is so contagious. I’m so happy for you!
It's such a joy to see you so excited! Enjoy the Hartley, we all know is a dream come true for you.
Aaron, Thank you for making the Hartley happen! Love seeing Laura so excited and happy!👍😉
I do hope you get to visit Longwood Gardens! I grew up 20 minutes away. When my children the ages of yours, once a month I would leave work early during the week and decompress walking through the gorgeous gardens there. It is the best garden I've ever visited. Too many features to see in one day. My two favorite all-time gardening activities are the Philadephia Flower Show & Longwood Gardens. You put Mackinac Island on my bucket list! Thanks for all you do for us!!!
Love love love anything you post please keep it up, thank you, I’m from Australia and it’s winter so I enjoy watching spring, summer gardening.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the miniature tabletop garden!! Please keep mixing it up like this. You inspire me to try different things myself. I just made a little succulent garden for my family because I was inspired by your garden.
I ordered from proven winners because of you > wish I could have accredited you in the process but no option for that > don’t need to have a discount just to let them know how much you are driving buyers to their biz > love what I bought
Laura is so cute... Vague look... I'm actually just thinking about the Hartley right now. 😂
She Is so sweet. We all love her and the family. Like having friends on the west coast.
Im so excited to see how the front yard grass comes up!
500 lbs of grass seed! whoooh!
Me too!!!
Dear Laura and Aaron, it is such a pleasure to watch your excitement during this time (Hartley installation). I have never felt more as though I was living ‘vicariously’ through someone else. This is ‘your moment’. You work hard, you inspire others, and you have made a very positive impact within the gardening community. Please continue to savour every moment and share your joy with us. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I often drink my morning coffee, still in my pyjamas while watching (and loving) your videos. That is, watching you work your butt off while I sip coffee in my pyjamas, wishing I had your energy and and your drive. I would not dare to criticize you, and neither should anyone else. Team Garden Answer provides consistently amazing content each and every post. You have earned every piece of that beautiful greenhouse and I for one am looking forward to seeing it featured in future videos. I am over the moon happy that you are realizing a dream and would absolutely bring in a Christmas tree to see how it would look in there, even if it is July!!!
I bought my first Hoselink this June and love it. Saving up for a second one
