How natural this corner of the property now looks! Its as if this pond was always there! Great choice in replacing the Juniper out front! To think this was the most unused portion of your property, and now it will be your most popular place to relax! Totally enjoyed this series of videos! 💖💖🌲🌼🌻🐠🐟
Absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this exciting experience with us. Everything looks so beautiful already, and will only get better with time.
Just a shout out to Aaron for getting Laura to finally agree to remove the boxwood hedge and fountain. Seeing this pond in its spot is one of the most picturesque spots on your property and I imagine will become the area everyone will enjoy the most! Thanks Aaron!!! 👏🏼👏🏼
We had a pond in our garden with a waterfall. Our Koi would swim to the edge as soon as anyone came near, waiting for food. They all had names. My grandchildren just loved them. It was magical. Enjoy and make memories.
Laura has to get a waterproof camera soon to see the antics of the fish underwater 😆 it would also be interesting to see how the pond looks from inside with the sun glowing through the lilypads must be magic 🌟 also do put a blackface elderberry at the back would be perfect esp in the spring with the blooms among the evergreens
When the Koi get bigger, they will love chunks of Watermelon. When we lived in PA we did a 15x25 pond with two waterfalls. Our Koi would come up to greet us as soon as we walked onto the deck and would talk to them. Love Koi kisses when hand feeding.
Oh my! This has turned out phenomenal. Is anyone as excited as I am to watch this area develop and grow into the beautiful oasis, garden, destination area, family hangout and wildlife area I know it will become. On a selfish side note, we get to come along for the trip. Thanks Laura, Aaron and crew for making these quality videos. Kudos to Greg, Brian and all the CAC ‘s for such a fun fantastic journey.😍
This wonderful addition will positively alter your kids childhoods in so many ways! Childhood is 20% of our lives but rules the remaining 80%. Kudos for getting swim lessons for them and doing this now rather than later 😊
Thank you, Laura and Aaron (and family), for allowing us to come along with you as this project unfolds! Truly a blessing! Also, a happy shout-out to Paul and Bethany 🙌.
At 22:11 why don’t you extend the the blonde ambition grass all the way to the birch, I think that will look stunning. Also I can’t get enough of this pond you and your family deserve every bit of it for all the joy and happiness you bring to your viewers.
💦Good day to all. What a spectacular sound to hear the water in the pond and see the beautiful backdrop of trees and shrubs. An amazing result by hard working people for sure. Lovely camera and drone video! What a gift to nature, Laura and Aaron, and to your beautiful children. Yay! 🦋💙🐟💦
What a joy!!! Absolutely beautiful..God bless you all.. Mr Paul and Miss Bethany are a couple of garden beasts.. such hard workers.. they must be a true blessing for your garden..I know you will enjoy and and have fabulous memories and the babies will have wonderful adventures in and around your pond!!!!
Russell and Cheddar (and Douglas) look like they’re in heaven exploring the area around the new pond. This is such a departure from your usual projects and I LOVE it! So glad you were able to fill your space with something that brings so much joy to everyone, and thank you for bringing us along on the journey!
Have any of your neighbors come over to see what was up with all of the people and equipment? It is so beautiful and I'm really looking forward to seeing the sitting area and walkways going in. Magical!
Laura and Aaron, The pond looks magnificent, breathtaking, relaxing with the waterfalls sounds. Such a grand idea to have added to your home, something soo sweet for All the family to enjoy and make lifelong memories. ☮🇺🇸🌳🌳🐸🐸🦈🐟🌾
Good morning. Everything looks so natural and the beauty is really calming. Everything “fits” together so beautifully. It is a joy to see the process, the teamwork, creativity and brilliant outcome (so far). Thanks for bringing us along. Enjoy every moment. 🌞💚👏🙏💦
I love this pond series and learning about the Aquascape Ecosystem Pond. This type of project and the learning it would provide through ongoing care would be an invaluable and enjoyable learning experience. I am a Special Education teacher (and avid gardener) and will look into ways our community and schools could partner and build a pond to elevate a common area while providing a valuable hands-on learning experience. Thank you so much for putting the series together, I loved seeing the collaboration and the artistry, and the pure talent. Cheers!
The pond area is beautiful. I can imagine you being able to sit there in the fall on a chair with a blanket over your lap sipping cocoa. It will transport you for sure. The grass by the waterfall is perfect. It’s nice to see you moving plants. Sometimes I feel like I don’t like something but don’t move it to a better area then I think it’s just a plant I can move it, give it away, get a new one. It really is that easy. Enjoy the day
Good Morning! 🌲 The pond to me is peaceful & tranquil! I love the sound of waterfall! What a difference the mulch makes, so much better - calming! Love all the plants! 🥰😃🙌🌲💚🌊
Laura and Aaron I can't believe what this pond has done for your property. To think of what it used to look like and what it is now. Bethany and Paul have done an incredible job helping the two of you transform and maintain your gorgeous property. Thank you for sharing all of your hard work with us. The pond is just a dream 🤗💓💞💕
I’d have to say this pond addition is by far to this date you guys best project design. It is breathtaking! Such a beautiful place to enjoy for so many years. I actually love the look of the young trees and shrubs too! I know it’s awesome when they get mature but seeing this space grow and evolve with your children is going to be a dream come true. 😊❤
Welcome to pond life! We've had a succession of ponds over the last 34 years in 3 different houses. Not only are the ponds beautiful to see and hear, they bring so much life to the garden. Birds, squirrels, frogs, turtles and insects visit all day long. When the sun goes down, its a wildlife watering hole for racoons, possum, fox, rabbits and deer. Please add a motion activated camera to your pond so you can see who visits the pond. You won't believe it! Thank you for your great channel! A friend sent me a link during early 2020 and I have been watching ever since. It kept me going during lock down.
What a wonderful wonderful addition to your home! Will the kids be able to play with little boats in the water?! I look forward to watching the area fill in and evolve! Enjoy and thank you for always taking us along!
Hello, Laura and Aaron. Thank you for sharing this blessing with so many. It is a blessing to be a part of viewing this stellar transformation. God bless everyone who had a part in putting it together.
Laura, it's just too beautiful! Never thought I'd say this, but the pond kinda out shines the Hartley😊. I love everything about it. It's the best project to date. Thanks for sharing the journey with us.
I'm so happy for your family to have this beautiful space! You all work so hard and deserve your little shangri-la. Thank you for showing the lights ! It looks so beautiful!
It's a vacation for you to relax with Aaron and the babies they grow so fast spend as much time with them it makes your soul smile with the best joy feeling ❤ have a blessed day
Oh my gosh! Such a dream 😍 I have no words to how BEAUTIFUL it is now, with all the trees & mulch 🌲😍 Can never order to many trees!!😜 But I definitely agree with no formal plants in that space! Can’t wait to see some grasses around the rocks on the pathway to the pond🪨🌾 ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION, in such a short space of time! I’ve loved watching every step 😍 Thank you for the brilliant tour Laura 🤍🇬🇧
Oh the mulch makes such a difference. I just love love love the pond and the fish. You guys will definitely make some awesome memories around this space.
Isn't it wonderful how the appearance & sound of water can make the temperature seem 20 degrees cooler??? It is a truly lovely space and imagining how it will look in 3 to 5 years is just exciting!!!!
It is AWESOME! Such a beautiful area for your family to enjoy for years to come. I'm sure, with your expertise in plants, the surrounding gardens will make a beautiful entrance into the pond area. Looking forward to seeing the future videos as you plant all the beautiful plants in those gardens and to see all the plants grow and mark their spots around the pond. The whole area is breathtakingly beautiful.
This amazing pond (extraordinary WATERSCAPE!) is a wondrous addition to your glorious property. Thank you for sharing 💕 I’m an avid gardener from tropical North Queensland, Australia… and although much of what you grow in your garden I cannot… I look forward to enjoying every new YT episode you upload. Blessings to you and your family x
Hi this is the second day I have run across your channel thanks to Aquascapes!! I have a degree in Botany and used to work in the nursery field!! You don't know how refreshing it is to see you hard at work in your aquascape space!! I'm sorry but I'm new here and I'm not sure what you do for a living but it is awesome to see that you love being in nature and working with your hands and getting dirty!! Your family is lucky to have you!!!!
Her & her husband Aaron do TH-cam videos for a living, they started in 2014. Her parents own a garden/seed center for over 30 years. Enjoyment watching all the videos they have😊
Seems like I remember Laura saying they don’t have rocks because they weren’t native to the area, but boy have the rocks and pond made a statement there! Such a beautiful place to rest and relax. Like you said, an oasis!
In Washington we have a native rose that I assume you all have down in Oregon as well. It’s called Wood’s Rose and it has a more open, natural growth than cultivated varieties. It would be a really cool option for your to get some roses with a native, natural appearance that would suit the vibe nicely. They’re a soft pink single bloom and have color most of the summer. Major pollinator magnet. I constantly see them in meadows and forests while hiking around the PNW.
Oh! I also just remembered- we have a native/wild bleeding heart that I think you would love! And it blooms all summer and doesn’t sort of fizzle out and disappear by august like the ones you typically see planted. I have several in my shade garden and they’re lovely. The proper name is Dicentra Eximia I believe. Those and the Wood’s Rose are definitely plants that can be purchased through nurseries but they just aren’t as common as the cultivated ones.
My tv broke when you were doing this project and I could hardly see all the details in my phone, nevertheless when I got the tv replaced I binge watched all the episodes of the pond. What a beautiful place, I would spend all day watching the water and the fish. Your place will never be the same again. Thank you for sharing such a lovely addition to your beautiful garden, all the best.
I love that the pond looks both natural, but still elegant. I’m sure the sense of community you felt from all the people who gathered there, has already given you memories to cherish:)
So beautiful and I can just imagine how relaxing it can be just to sit in the mornings or evenings. I love how the kitties think you did all that just for them. You can tell how much they love the rocks and being able to explore. The kids will never forget this experience. Great job.
Looking forward to seeing the flagstone pathways installed. What an adventure this has been. The herculean task of installation of the pond in 3 days to the tranquility of the final result is amazing. Looks like it's always been there. Always appreciate the drone shots for perspective. Thank you for taking us along.
I was hoping for more pond videos!!! thank you! Can you take us with when you do maintenance? I was wondering if you have to clean the pump like you do for a pool. These videos have been so fun! Thank you for taking us along for the excitement! So happy for you!!!
The wonderful memories that you and your family will have will be amazing there! To each of the people who took part in this project, well done!! Absolutely stunning!
I love Bethany’s practical and comfortable overalls. They’re a real game changer in the garden. I got some of Duluth’s gardening overalls, and I never want to wear anything else.
I agree, I have 2 pair from Duluth that I wear all the time now. I had no idea how perfect overalls are for gardening . . . . should have taken a cue from all the generations of farmers!!
Wow, I am finally seeing your new pond. Didn't realize the pond would be so tremendous. Really like the waterfall, all the stones as borders, & different shaped boulders. Many beautiful plantings & especially like your blue spruce in the background and blond ambition is delightful & will certainly search for the delicate grass soon. Thank you, for sharing! So many more plantings to be done but looks like you have plenty of help. I know you do many yourself!
Your artistic eye is working overtime! Every time you add something else I say " oh yes, perfection ". The kittens are so happy with it too. Thank goodness for augers and umbrellas! Love this area so much!💕🌳
Hey Laura and Aaron! If you are looking for plants that stay small to tuck in around the water feature, I get a lot of small conifers and Japanese maples from Mr.Maple. They are a mail order nursery. 🌲 Hope this helps!
Hello to the Community, I am living in Germany and I am simply amazed. What a great Pond, the 🐈 ‚s are loveing it too. It is the best pond that I ever saw all the plants, I am really looking forward to see how it looks next summer, it is stunning already . Enjoyment for everyone. Outstanding job !!! Have a great weekend 🙋♀️🌸🐝🪴🌻❤️
I'm pushing eighty and my gardening days are pretty much over except for a couple of small areas with flowers and my lilac. You and your family are delightful and watching you all is always a highlight of my day. The pond is delightful and will enrich your lives no end. Please keep on with the videos and thank you all for everything you do.
Cats on rocks are giving me Lion King vibes or Rocky Mountain mountain lion vibes. Remember to run drip to the rearranged plants or perhaps you already did but didn't film that part. This is such a peaceful place.🐈🌲🐈
This corner of your garden looks very natural! Love the sedums, spruces, and grasses! More coneflowers, milkweed, and butterfly bush would look nice in that area!
I have binged on all the pond building episodes, thanks for sharing with us. I love the undulation of the whole area, it adds so much character to a garden, not just the pond area but the whole surrounding and the way that you can fit plants into dips and curves, with rocks and trunks, it brings a garden to life.
Yay for dragonflies! They eat up mosquitoes. Also, we need a kitty adventure video. At least 10 min of the cats exploring, being cute and having fun. 😸
Don't you think about planting a no maintenance short grass around the pond? Just stunning 😊😍 I love it so much! A few years from now when the garden around it matures... Oh!
How natural this corner of the property now looks! Its as if this pond was always there! Great choice in replacing the Juniper out front! To think this was the most unused portion of your property, and now it will be your most popular place to relax! Totally enjoyed this series of videos! 💖💖🌲🌼🌻🐠🐟
Absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this exciting experience with us. Everything looks so beautiful already, and will only get better with time.
It’s like it was just waiting to be revealed
Just a shout out to Aaron for getting Laura to finally agree to remove the boxwood hedge and fountain. Seeing this pond in its spot is one of the most picturesque spots on your property and I imagine will become the area everyone will enjoy the most! Thanks Aaron!!! 👏🏼👏🏼
I was totally on team keep it and BOY was I wrong!!
We had a pond in our garden with a waterfall. Our Koi would swim to the edge as soon as anyone came near, waiting for food. They all had names. My grandchildren just loved them. It was magical. Enjoy and make memories.
Nice 👍
That's what it's all about is memories

How cool!
What happened to it.
Paul and Bethany are true tressures! I must say...I have never seen a more beautiful pond! The talent of this team is mind blowing!
Good morning! Anyone looking forward for this, the next morning pond update? I sure do ❤
Yaaasss!
When the Koi get bigger, they will love chunks of Watermelon. When we lived in PA we did a 15x25 pond with two waterfalls. Our Koi would come up to greet us as soon as we walked onto the deck and would talk to them. Love Koi kisses when hand feeding.
Good morning, anyone out planting instead of watching videos?
Oh my! This has turned out phenomenal. Is anyone as excited as I am to watch this area develop and grow into the beautiful oasis, garden, destination area, family hangout and wildlife area I know it will become. On a selfish side note, we get to come along for the trip. Thanks Laura, Aaron and crew for making these quality videos. Kudos to Greg, Brian and all the CAC ‘s for such a fun fantastic journey.😍
I've been loving seeing the kitties enjoy the big rocks! 🪨😀 My cats would be in heaven!
Russel looked like a lion, laid out on the rock overseeing his domain lol
❤
they're having a great time exploring all the new things in the yard.
@GirlyHR I know The Mouse would object, but they need a shot of Russell on a rock backed by the Lion King theme 😂.
Not to mention the ‘fish supper’.
This wonderful addition will positively alter your kids childhoods in so many ways! Childhood is 20% of our lives but rules the remaining 80%. Kudos for getting swim lessons for them and doing this now rather than later 😊
Anyone else thinking about how the Christmas lights will look?
Beautiful space and love rooting for you!
Thank you, Laura and Aaron (and family), for allowing us to come along with you as this project unfolds! Truly a blessing! Also, a happy shout-out to Paul and Bethany 🙌.
Your beautiful heaven on earth 💕
Watching the kitties explore is one of the best parts of having a pond. People, animals, and insects are drawn to water. The wildlife will come!❤
It would be interesting to see if the fox comes to drink at night. Or what other critters visit at night
I sooooo wish we could have seen the parents reaction to it all finished and mulched! My gosh it turned out stunning!
At 22:11 why don’t you extend the the blonde ambition grass all the way to the birch, I think that will look stunning. Also I can’t get enough of this pond you and your family deserve every bit of it for all the joy and happiness you bring to your viewers.

Laura and Aaron, The pond looks magnificent, breathtaking, relaxing with the waterfalls sounds. Such a grand idea to have added to your home, something soo sweet for All the family to enjoy and make lifelong memories. ☮🇺🇸🌳🌳🐸🐸🦈🐟🌾
I am in such awe I am speechless....I know how hard Aaron and you work, but please take time to truly enjoy this amazing spot.

The mulch transformation is AMAZING!
8am. Thank you all! Your program is such a blessing. In my mind your gardens look like heaven. It is all beautiful!

Learning I could move plants was a game changer for my garden! And this channel has been a huge encouragement in making my space what I want.
Good Morning! 🌲 The pond to me is peaceful & tranquil! I love the sound of waterfall! What a difference the mulch makes, so much better - calming! Love all the plants! 🥰😃🙌🌲💚🌊
❤
Hi Laura. Beautiful. Can't wait to see the flagstones and seating area go down and the plants etc. Gorgeous! Excellent job. 👍👌🙏💚
So impressed with the benches and Laura and Aaron the pond is so beautiful looking forward to many years of updates on it.
Laura and Aaron I can't believe what this pond has done for your property. To think of what it used to look like and what it is now.

Your pond has such a beautiful structure, the overhead pictures shows it off so well. The whole area is stunning!
That transition after the mulching is a chef's kiss! ❤❤❤
🤌
What a Magical space, just gorgeous and peaceful.
Hello, Laura and Aaron. Thank you for sharing this blessing with so many. It is a blessing to be a part of viewing this stellar transformation. God bless everyone who had a part in putting it together.
It's like a beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert. So lovely.
Laura, it's just too beautiful! Never thought I'd say this, but the pond kinda out shines the Hartley😊. I love everything about it. It's the best project to date. Thanks for sharing the journey with us.
Laura you are never alone because Cheddar and Russell are never far from you. That is so sweet. Love your videos and family.
I'm so happy for your family to have this beautiful space! You all work so hard and deserve your little shangri-la. Thank you for showing the lights ! It looks so beautiful!
It really looks amazing ! A lifetime of enjoyment for the whole family , right there!
your oasis is AMAZING! and with your landscaping skills, it is going to be a national park!
The evolution of your property is such an inspiration!
It's a vacation for you to relax with Aaron and the babies they grow so fast spend as much time with them it makes your soul smile with the best joy feeling ❤ have a blessed day
So incredibly peaceful - wow. I’m so happy for you & your family. I love it all and can’t wait for the next tour of it.👌🏽🪷✨
Oh my gosh! Such a dream 😍
I have no words to how BEAUTIFUL it is now, with all the trees & mulch 🌲😍 Can never order to many trees!!😜
But I definitely agree with no formal plants in that space!
Can’t wait to see some grasses around the rocks on the pathway to the pond🪨🌾
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION, in such a short space of time!
I’ve loved watching every step 😍
Thank you for the brilliant tour Laura 🤍🇬🇧
Paul and Bethany are such hard workers. Looks Great! Good Job all of you! So Beautiful!
Oh the mulch makes such a difference. I just love love love the pond and the fish. You guys will definitely make some awesome memories around this space.
Coffee time with Laura at the pond! Lived for this moment all weekend 😍 You are so blessed. And you deserve it all!
Isn't it wonderful how the appearance & sound of water can make the temperature seem 20 degrees cooler??? It is a truly lovely space and imagining how it will look in 3 to 5 years is just exciting!!!!
Thank you so much for showing how long the installation process takes, even with teams of people!
It is AWESOME! Such a beautiful area for your family to enjoy for years to come. I'm sure, with your expertise in plants, the surrounding gardens will make a beautiful entrance into the pond area. Looking forward to seeing the future videos as you plant all the beautiful plants in those gardens and to see all the plants grow and mark their spots around the pond.

Looks so nice out this side of the property. Love to watch everything transform.
This amazing pond (extraordinary WATERSCAPE!) is a wondrous addition to your glorious property. Thank you for sharing 💕
I’m an avid gardener from tropical North Queensland, Australia… and although much of what you grow in your garden I cannot… I look forward to enjoying every new YT episode you upload.
Blessings to you and your family x
I love seeing all the kitties finding the rocks ,they didn’t know they needed them until they came !😊❤
Good morning everyone! Have a blessed week ❣️🤗🙏🙏❤️ Absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍

Are the leaves turning already? Beautiful young people. God's blessing.
An oasis in your high desert. Like a miracle. So absolutely stunning. Love it!
Seems like I remember Laura saying they don’t have rocks because they weren’t native to the area, but boy have the rocks and pond made a statement there! Such a beautiful place to rest and relax. Like you said, an oasis!
So happy that you finally decided to add a pond. Looks amazing and I know that it will add so much enjoyment to your family's life for years to come.
I think this is my new favourite spot in the garden. It has an oriental feel with all those beautiful conifers. Congratulations it looks amazing!

Your footpath should be a creek bed the art is already there
So so beautiful! Many years of enjoyment ahead.
Wow Laura, the pond is so beautiful. I’m delighted to know y’all are loving it. Thanks so much for bringing us along for the adventure ❤🌿🪷🪨🌾⛱️🤽♀️
The overhead shots were perfect to give us a great view of your beautiful garden .
The pond is so well built you will be enjoying it with your grandchildren!
I love how you started with your shovel then went with the big guns. I cracked up!❤❤
So beautiful and I can just imagine how relaxing it can be just to sit in the mornings or evenings. I love how the kitties think you did all that just for them. You can tell how much they love the rocks and being able to explore. The kids will never forget this experience. Great job.
Looking forward to seeing the flagstone pathways installed. What an adventure this has been. The herculean task of installation of the pond in 3 days to the tranquility of the final result is amazing. Looks like it's always been there. Always appreciate the drone shots for perspective. Thank you for taking us along.
I was hoping for more pond videos!!! thank you! Can you take us with when you do maintenance? I was wondering if you have to clean the pump like you do for a pool. These videos have been so fun! Thank you for taking us along for the excitement! So happy for you!!!
The wonderful memories that you and your family will have will be amazing there!
To each of the people who took part in this project, well done!! Absolutely stunning!
Your family will have so much fun …enjoying the pond’s natural wonders…time will tell! The season’s will change it too! Hope all goes well!🫶😊👏🏻
I wonder if Laura’s parents are wondering if the grandkids will ever visit them with their pool again?!😢
Your new pond is beautiful! What a gorgeous addition to your property!
I love Bethany’s practical and comfortable overalls. They’re a real game changer in the garden. I got some of Duluth’s gardening overalls, and I never want to wear anything else.
I love seeing the ones Erin from Floret wears as well.
@@dianequist835 Yes, Erin did a great series on workwear!
I agree, I have 2 pair from Duluth that I wear all the time now. I had no idea how perfect overalls are for gardening . . . . should have taken a cue from all the generations of farmers!!
Wow, I am finally seeing your new pond. Didn't realize the pond would be so tremendous. Really like the waterfall, all the stones as borders, & different shaped boulders. Many beautiful plantings & especially like your blue spruce in the background and blond ambition is delightful & will certainly search for the delicate grass soon. Thank you, for sharing! So many more plantings to be done but looks like you have plenty of help. I know you do many yourself!
Three cheers to Paul and Bethany! Great friends and helpers of your dream garden!☺❤💚
Your artistic eye is working overtime! Every time you add something else I say " oh yes, perfection ". The kittens are so happy with it too. Thank goodness for augers and umbrellas! Love this area so much!💕🌳
Hey Laura and Aaron! If you are looking for plants that stay small to tuck in around the water feature, I get a lot of small conifers and Japanese maples from Mr.Maple. They are a mail order nursery. 🌲 Hope this helps!
Hello to the Community, I am living in Germany and I am simply amazed. What a great Pond, the 🐈 ‚s are loveing it too. It is the best pond that I ever saw all the plants, I am really looking forward to see how it looks next summer, it is stunning already . Enjoyment for everyone. Outstanding job !!! Have a great weekend 🙋♀️🌸🐝🪴🌻❤️
See berms and rock can look good even out in your gardens. I think this looks amazing!
The plants and trees look amazing! The mulch makes the pond area look neat and complete!
I'm pushing eighty and my gardening days are pretty much over except for a couple of small areas with flowers and my lilac.
You and your family are delightful and watching you all is always a highlight of my day. The pond is delightful and will enrich your lives no end. Please keep on with the videos and thank you all for everything you do.
Cats on rocks are giving me Lion King vibes or Rocky Mountain mountain lion vibes. Remember to run drip to the rearranged plants or perhaps you already did but didn't film that part. This is such a peaceful place.🐈🌲🐈
Your pond is BEAUTIFUL!
This corner of your garden looks very natural! Love the sedums, spruces, and grasses! More coneflowers, milkweed, and butterfly bush would look nice in that area!
I have binged on all the pond building episodes, thanks for sharing with us. I love the undulation of the whole area, it adds so much character to a garden, not just the pond area but the whole surrounding and the way that you can fit plants into dips and curves, with rocks and trunks, it brings a garden to life.
Yay for dragonflies! They eat up mosquitoes. Also, we need a kitty adventure video. At least 10 min of the cats exploring, being cute and having fun. 😸
A camera on their collar?
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL. LOVE ALL THE PLANTS . EVEN ONE OF THE KITTIES LOOK SO GOOD ON THE ROCKS. 👍👍👍❤️🙏🇨🇦
This is such a spectacular space. I love everything.
Beautiful just beautiful everything looks so good and very natural like it’s been there forever
Thank you for sharing
Wow what a beautiful looking pond ❤
Beautiful. That looks like grace.
Absolutely stunning! Love the idea of those plants with the blue flowers. My favorite color. 🥰🥰🥰
Same here. I love true blue flowers.
I love how much you love every plant, every rock, every fish. You are such an amazing creator ♥️♥️♥️
Don't you think about planting a no maintenance short grass around the pond?
Just stunning 😊😍 I love it so much! A few years from now when the garden around it matures... Oh!
The pond is PERFECT! But I was wanting green grass around it too. Is that even feasible?
If it's feasible, Aaron will gladly put some in.
At 2:50 when you returned to the pond with the juniper…the sound of the waterfall was so beautiful!! I could listen to that all day!!
This beautiful space will become a natural habitat for so many bugs, turtles, fish, etc. And chipmunks will love those holes in the logs!
