    Such beautiful plants!! 😍 this year my boys (ages 9&7) decided to do the container contest. We went to our local greenhouse/garden center and they got to choose their own plants. I do have to say their container is winning! So proud of them.

    Love all of these! ❤️ Laura, thank you so much for all of your videos. I’ve been watching for a couple of years now and just helped my boyfriend, who is a landscaper, designs couple of beds for a client. We used hydrangeas, echinacea, nepeta, lambs ear, heuchera, and a small blue spruce. I made sure that green, blue, yellow and red were all in there, that textures and heights varied, and every season would have blooms… all of which I’ve learned from you. We’re hoping to do more of this and it wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you for educating me and so many others and the joy and kindness you provide along the way. ❤️❤️❤️

    Laura, you are planting so many pollinator friendly plants in your gardens! Have you thought about putting some low shallow bowls out for water with some pebbles for the bees and butterflies? Is there a way you could tap into your water source to keep them filled with fresh water? Just a thought! Love following your dream.

Plus, it is a treasure of a bonus when you share your beautiful children with us in your videos. I can honestly say from my heart that I don’t normally get excited on TH-cam channels but your channel is one that keeps you interested til the end and I love your channel. Oh, I have now been following you guys for almost 2 years and feel like I have to watch you guys as often as you post your videos.

    I'm also a professional gardener, my business is 26 years old this year, and I have designed many gardens and taken care of many plants in mid-coast Maine, with the help of a great crew. Can't imagine gardening in 100 degree weather...good for you for getting out there and doing what you need to keep your gardens going....Gardening is not for the faint of heart, especially when it gets hot, and if it's 90 degrees in midcoast Maine, than that's a very hot day and luckily we don't get many of those....Aren't you hotter gardening in black?

They weren't in the right place as it was planted a foot from the front walk, which is covered. I planted lavander grosso there instead and spaced them further from the main walk.

    I just LOVE butterfly bushes! They are one of the few plants that thrive in my extremely sandy soil with next to no amendments. I typically have to add a LOT of amendments so my soil will hold water for longer than .004 seconds lol….but butterfly bushes are one that I can plant it and forget it. I water them in for a week then never touch them again. So soooo easy and gorgeous!

    Given the number of butterfly bushes you have on the property it may be good to consider planting some native host perennials/shrubs that are used by butterflies local to your area on which they can lay eggs. Without going into it the non native butterfly bush only supports adult butterflies. They can’t lay eggs on that shrub and if there are no host plants right near by the bush kind of tricks the butterflies to hang around your Beautiful garden but then when they go to lay eggs they can’t locate a host plant and they end up not laying eggs before they die. If u know what butterflies that are local to u it’s rewarding to plant a few host plants. Something to consider. Appreciate watching ur show every morning.

You are so thoughtful with all that you are planting. Such a nice way to start my day seeing your videos. The walkway is looking good . It will look so nice when it's done. Have a great day.

    You blow my mind. Maybe it is the dry air up there. I am in the TN valley where humidity pretty much stays 80% and up. Then there is you, in your black 3/4 sleeves, "the high today is 104". I would be all "NOPE". Once we get into the 90s around here, it can become hard to breathe. I am always so fascinated by the differences between climates.

    Hi Laura & friends: I wanted to let you know a bit of background on why Eastern Oregon probably gets lumped in the non sterile butterfly bush zone. Short answer: birds. If birds eat the seed and fly west, then poop…the seed is planted. Always better to be safe than sorry. I live in Florida and you wouldn’t believe how easy it is for plants to “travel”. However, in Florida a plant only gets termed *Invasive* when it gets into natural areas AND pushes the native flora out. This is an ecosystem problem not a garden problem. Everyone who cares about creatures, also will care about not using invasive plants. For any friends in Florida, please only buy sterile lantana. If anyone wishes to know more you can check with your State Land Grant University for more information on what is invasive in your area. (Hope this was helpful and not annoying)

      @@Sofiaee I tried not to sound like a know it all. The term “Invasive” is a confusing subject. Really it doesn’t mean how a plant acts in your garden but how it reacts in the natural environment where you live. I call plants that take over my yard Bullies instead of invasive. Anyone else have a better term for garden thugs?

      There are different cultivars that are not invasive. Some stay small and don't take over. She even stated the ones she is planting are STERILE!!! So... not sure why you even make this comment.
      I think she even said these don't get that big (I heard her even explain hers are Micro/dwarf sized).
      She clearly cares about staying away from invasive plants.
      My neighbor planted mint years ago, still have it popping up years. Later. Lol 😂 Small but mighty. Amazing.

I am so excited to see in person that which I have watched over the years on TH-cam! Though our car is loaded with things for our almost 3 week trip we’ve been on, I told my husband that I planned to bring SOMETHING home from Andrew’s so we MUST make room! We’ve seen some spectacular things, but this will still be a highlight for me! You have enabled me to see beauty in things I otherwise would not have such as some seed heads etc. THANK you for your inspiration, passion for plants and joy you (and your whole family) bring with each video! I’m always excited for the next one. Your flagstone walk is already beautiful. It will be perfect when completed!!!

    I love my PW Butterfly Bushes and would love to add more!! My Miss Violet took a beating from a wet, heavy late April snow which is highly unusual for us in SW WA. It had lots of foliage and buds being it was later spring but ended up bending forward and covering the items that I had under planted. It took a very late in the season hard prune like a champ and has pushed out tons of new growth and lots of buds. It’s a garden winner for sure!!
