    Dear Laura and Aaron, the reason that you receive wonderful things from others is because you do wonderful things for others. The flowers for the elderly, the vegetables for the needy, sharing plants and bulbs, showing people how to make things without breaking the bank, great decorating and gardening tips, all cause people to want to watch. In these dangerous times it is so nice to watch a program that does not stress and upset you. It makes you forget the horrible stuff for a few moments. I used to watch the news every day and since I focused more on gardening and decorating, I am so much happier and take pride in my own little corner of the world.

In a time when so many unpleasant things are going on (to put it mildly), you two are a joy to watch! Thank you and I hope you don't stop any time soon. Also love seeing your mom and sister and the store. Great group of people.

    Dear Laura, the reason that you and Aaron have 1.78 million viewers is because of your information on plants, equipment and designs. Your personalities are so refreshingly positive even when you disagree. You always give credit to those that supply and support you. I love Laura's and Aaron's laughs, smiles and sense of humor. I also Love how you include your beautiful, precious babies, your mom, sister and dad. I believe that I am not the only one that is so happy that you share and post the day in the life of Garden Answer. Wishing you and yours many more blessed days!

    You know the old adage that what you put out into the universe comes back to you? Maybe that explains why you were chosen for this pond installation-what you give to the world is positivity, an amazing work ethic, family cohesiveness, and loads of love. It's refreshing to find a TH-cam channel that doesn't attempt to draw in viewers via controversy or drama. Your encyclopedic knowledge of plants along with beautiful videography and editing is a winning combination. Also, I totally appreciate that you jump right into each vid with no silly intro or outro!

    My daughter and I discovered your channel many years ago, when a succulent arrangement vid of yours went viral. You were still living in your old house and Dexter was stealing the show.
    One Christmas, we sent you a card, and though it was opened originally by someone else at the garden center, you still included it into your mail time video, and we were absolutely tickled about it.
    We have remained faithful to your videos over the years even when many other TH-camrs have risen to fame and faded, not only because the content you provide it top quality, but because your down to earth, loving, good hearted soul underpins everything you do.

    Quick calculation is that labor would have been conservatively $25,000 for 14 guys for 3 days, excluding design time and travel time. Add transportation costs (airfare and rental cars and food) - add equipment rental, pumps, filters, gravel and rock, boulders and liners. Increase the labor charge because these are the best of the best ... catering for the crew, and porta potty rental. It was such a generous gift from everyone involved.

    • @cmnr8487
      @cmnr8487 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      yes and if you are adding in the cost of the plants, labor to plant them, mulching and adding the drip system, ect, its way more than that. Most people would have to hire an actual electrician/plumber to run all that utility access, add in the lighting, I guess internet hookup of some type if you wanted to wire all that to sky spy, dig in lines and hook to your access point, ect. You'd also have to pay all those inspections, city/county as you went along. I'm guessing the whole thing is closer to at least 150K. The price of koi, several hundred dollars apiece, the water plants are very expensive too.

    If ever there was a week at Garden Answer, it was this one. Hooley Dooley.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the hard work in keep the content sensational. Garden Answer is exemplary when it comes to understanding their subscribers and delivering, even in the “slower” months, you just keep delivering and it is phenomenal. I pray for you guys every night because you give so much hope, inspiration and faith.

      Had to smile in reading your “Saturday” comment as that is my view as well. Always a bit of disappointment when realize it is Saturday so no Garden Answer video. GA posts sooooo many more videos consistently that it is easy to get spoiled. But also agree that Laura and Aaron deserve and need to take time off. 👋 from the Pacific NW.

    I so enjoyed watching the pond being installed. 😊 I would feel down after everyone left. I mean, these men and women had been at your house for days and were making this beautiful piece of art in your yard, and then WHAM they're all gone. I can see myself running down that long driveway hollering, Come back, don't leave me.😂 Now, what's your next big project? Hey, I live my dream through you guys, so you guys need to let me/us know so we can look forward to what's next..lol. Dang, I can't believe Benjamin is 5 1/2 years old.😮 He is growing up way too fast. He is one sweet little boy. Both Benjamin and Samantha are lucky to have great parents, grandparents,aunts,uncles,and friends to be in their lives. They bring smiles to my face and to my heart.

Personally I feel like I am being a part of the life of a friend and her family when I watch your channel. It is the highlight of my day along with some other channels such as Yulia and Linda Vater, you all have a way of speaking that makes people feel as if they are right there and you are just being your genuine selves. Thank you Laura and Aaron and family.

    Y'all are just so precious and Godly; that's why you have so many subscribers. Oh, and the gardening too lol. I'm so excited for this koi pond and for the kids. Koi are just so much fun (shubunkin goldfish and feeder goldfish as well. I try to "rescue" a few each year). They really do get to know YOU and your family so they become so friendly. When someone new comes up to feed they don't rush to the area. It's just amazing. The grands are such good friends with them. We did our pond ourselves in 2001 and continue to love and appreciate it. Have a blessed time and please keep us updated frequently. I can't wait to see the wonders that will grow. xoxTX

I am on the western side, in Portland, & it’s wonderful that I can drive 2 hours & be at the beach or drive 5 hours & be in the high desert. Our state is so versatile & beautiful. The summers on the west side are also hot, but more in the high 80’s (although we reach 95-100 a lot of days) & for at least 3 months. We have 4 distinct seasons & I love it! There’s nothing better than fall after a hot summer & spring after a long winter. 🌸🌺. Just a little shout out to Oregon. 🫶

    Final verdict on the pond, to me, us that we can enjoy this one online but it can't be replicated. It's a once in a lifetime collaboration to be appreciated and shared. Just as we can be inspired by GA gardens, but they are unique, so with the pond. We can build our simplified versions, though.

    Some of my best memories of my dad are in the garden. He taught me that when you plant, you fill the hole with water first and let it soak in before you put the plant in. That way, the plant's roots will be encouraged to reach down and out for the water, making for a healthier plant.

    Laura, I am with you on how you like to try things at least once. I look forward to seeing you process the wheat crop! Also be neat to see bread come out of it. Perhaps on the new new property this fall, you could always do a much larger patch of it for your own flour.
    ALSO..... next year, PLEASE grow a patch of your own popcorn! When my brothers & I were children, my mom had us plant, grow, harvest, strip the kernels and of course, pop and eat our own grown popcorn! We did the yellow popcorn and the whole learning process & experience is one of my most fondest & treasured memories as a small child. I think Benjamin & Samantha would find it an awesome experience as well. We had popcorn for a very long time lol.

I also have seen some bad ponds so I’d save my pennies to have it done right! Your pond is magical! ❤️
