It was such a treat meeting Laura and Aaron!!! They are sweet, humble and kind! I was just going to shake her hand because I didn’t want to force a hug on her but she took my hand a quickly pulled me into a hug🥰 I am so glad they came to St Charles and that they had fun❤️
What a fantastic day it must of been for you to have met Laura and Aaron she sounds exactly how I would expect her to be very kind and loving I live very near to St Charles and Laura did a great job showing what a beautiful family friendly neighborhood we have! The ponds were so gorgeous a real little pice of heaven on earth … it seriously makes me want to expand my tropical heart shaped pond into a wrap around oasis ❤ a girl can dream 💭🏝🌺thanks for sharing @angelaengler2387!
You have a very beautiful place. I live vicariously through people, so please enjoy enough for me as well.
What a gorgeous home you have.
Well my friend, never expect anything less from our beloved couple❣️🥰🥰😌
Oh, so close to me! I'm a few miles north of there!
Of course Laura is such a kind guest. Complimenting, thanking, and making sure it’s okay to film. She sets the standard for a good TH-camr. ❤
So kind of the property owners to open their homes to the world of TH-cam so that we may all get a glimpse of their beautiful ponds and properties. Thank you, and thank you Greg and Laura for sharing.
So fun hanging with you and Aaron, Laura! You guys are awesome. More to come...👀 - Kevin
Oooooo…can’t wait!!
Kevin, you need that gong dude 🙂
It was great to see you, too, Kevin!
Such a treat to see both of you interacting. My two favorite people on youtTH-cam! Thank you both!!!! It was so fun to watch. The fish feeding was fun. I thought the fish had taken a hurtful bite 😂
3 of my favorite channels in one "epic" video. 😍
One of the things I really appreciate about Laura is that she’s genuinely enthusiastic about all things plants and landscaping. I even think that if she came to my rustic farm gardens, she would find joy in just seeing plants! She’s just that kind of person! Very real and genuine, both she and Aaron!
The owner just said “Hi Laura😄” and shook your hand 😭 I think I’d pass out if I had Laura walk into my home and garden! ❤
He was star struck 🤩
Is anyone else thinking that the pondless waterfall would look so good in the kitchen garden, positioned so it can be seen from the window? 😃
Yes! Especially since they have to remove that big dying tree out there.
What a great idea!
Ooh yes great idea
Yes!!!
What a great opportunity! To just go visit all these ponds and get more ideas!
8:41 Brian holding his dog is so stinking cute ❤❤
Not only are each of the ponds beautiful, but also your reaction to seeing and experiencing them are equally delightful. Thank you for sharing all of this with us.
Oh my goodness these are all so beautiful! QUESTION Laura and Aaron, would you ever consider putting in a water feature right outside your kitchen window where your locust tree is dying? It would be so beautiful to have a small water future there! I can’t believe what a gorgeous view these lucky people have from inside their homes! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I absolutely adore Garden Answer!
Such a joy to meet you and Aaron at Aquascape, which was an amazing dinner and tour! Went to both the ‘extra’ gardens yesterday. Loved Brians garden, landscape around his pond has transformed the backyard! What an oasis. And tomorrow’s video will be absolutely amazing. THAT garden is truly a sanctuary! Your visit is a highlight of my summer. Thank you!
Thanks for the awesome pond tours❤
I had the great privilege to go to Brian’s garden this morning and it was astonishing!!
Saturday already feels like days ago and I will be going back to Aqualand…it had been on my bucket list for at least 7 years!! I loved every moment! It was a pleasure meeting you as well. Thanks for being a wonderful human being! God bless!!
Wow! BRIAN’S YARD!! WHAAAT? He creates MAGIC! I’d love it if they’d do something at Laura’s parent’s house!!
I thought the exact same thing. Can you imagine their lush landscape with a pond? Spectacular!
Laura and Aaron Thank You for your kindness in every video! Meeting new people it made me cry happy tears because you guys represent such positivity and kindness and class. What a great collab!
Oh my gosh!!!! What a dream these ponds are! I had a small prefabricated pond at my last house, I had my husband and son dig it out, and I worked very hard on getting it to look woodsy!! I was so proud of it. We have since moved to a smaller home once we retired. Life has brought me lots if change. I cannot do another pond on my own, so I will just look at others and enjoy them!! Thank you for all the inspiration and joy you bring to those of us that love gardening and nature!❤❤❤😊
In a decade, your property will have some dense nooks, too. You’re starting on an ENORMOUS canvas, Laura. It’s gonna be great!!!!🇨🇦
It's already Great!
@@patriciaalbertson5183 Both!
Love #GardenAnswer and all the #Aquascape CAC work! One of these days, maybe I'll have a fraction of the gorgeous gardens and water features!
Thank you Laura and Aaron for taking us with you to see the beautiful ponds! I hope you two have a great time!
What amazing ponds, it’s never been something I’ve ever thought about but now I’d love one.😊
The views from inside those homes was amazing! Especially his mom’s house!
Brian your Moms a sweetheart! Beautiful home and garden.
I paused this video at exactly minute 10:00 to get a drink from the kitchen. When I came back and sat down I was just amazed by how happy the Dog looked. He looked like he would rather be here than anywhere else in the world. So Happy.
All I can say is WOW! 😍 This is why Aquascape are the BEST in the WORLD 🌍👏🏽
Also I am soooo glad, you are on board & going ahead with the stream extension, on your pond! I cannot wait for the content! 👀
I extended mine, by nearly double last year & it was the best thing I EVER did, to the garden! 😍💦
This ☝🏻 I was so worried when the algae bloom happened and she said she might have to reconsider! I was like NOOOOOO, I’m dying to see it!!! So glad it’s back on!
I have been looking forward to this video. We just moved to our new property, which has two lakes equalling 8 acres. I have been gathering inspiration to landscape around them for recreational and wildlife, yet beautifully landscaped. So I always appreciate the pond updates and I also appreciate you taking us through the process of starting a garden from scratch since that's what l will be doing. 😊
How very exciting! Have fun!
You’ve certainly come to the right place for it. Good luck with your endeavours.
Hi Nancy ~ Wow! Your new property sounds wonderful. I wish you good luck & much happiness as you create a beautiful environment for you & yours.🙋
Oh my goodness, what a blessing to be able to have this opportunity! Well, I’m sure you’ll get plenty more inspiration from Greg’s other videos as well. Best of luck on this endeavor 😊.
Gosh, how amazing, and what a challenge
What a treat! So much fun to have a pond...... hmmm wonder how Laura and Aaron's mind are dreaming??? Plunge pool at end of the dream stream for phase #3?, seating near the play/game area for when the kids are older? NA you are never going to move...why you have heaven there. Thank you all so much for taking us along.
These tours were such a treat! Thank you for taking us along. Remind’s me of your beautiful gardens episodes where you looked at photos people submitted. Do you plan on making any more of them in the future? They were so fun to watch!
How generous of all these people to let you in and us!! Beautiful tour!! So nice of you all to have shared with us. ❤
I rarely comment here but this was one of the best videos I've seen from this channel. Pure joy inspiration and beauty.
What an amazing video! The ponds you filmed were absolutely extraordinary, and I cannot wait for the next couple of ponds you filmed on your trip to Chicago. You are such a gracious person, Laura - it’s no wonder people love having you come and visit. Kudos to the Aquascape team for their imagination and STELLAR installations.
You came at the Goldilock part of the season for us here in Illinois this year... We've had so much rain this season that all the plants look wonderful! This past weekend was perfect with the temperature and sunshine too. We enjoyed getting to meet you both, as well as Kevin and Jacques!! Wish we could have chatted with you a little more, but it was great meeting you, Laura and Aaron. All of you are so kind and great people! We also really enjoyed getting to see all the beautiful and wonderful ponds 😍 My goodness some were absolutely INCREDIBLE!
Thank you Laura and Aaron for this beautiful tour. I especially loved seeing the fish swimming in the streams. That was cool. Loved seeing all the neat water features and especially the views from the houses. I think I could sit out there all day. I’d never get anything done. So cool seeing what could be done in small spaces. Can’t wait to see your ponds expansion. The fish will love it and also the kids. Enjoy your trip.
How fun! Love garden tours! They’re so inspirational. You don’t need a huge property and I never thought to make a pond swimmable. 😮
I love all of your videos but it was really fun having the giggle boys (Kevin & Jacque) in this one! I hope you all can collab again.
Gorgeous Ponds! Thanks to all of you for taking us along. Such a treat. I’m a water person and these just spoke to my heart.
Those fish are loving life!
💕🙏🏻☀️😍🐟🌿🌺💕
Maybe you and Aaron should start a garden travel blog! Watching someone see all these beautiful scapes for the first time and the joy it brings their gardeners is so satisfying.
It was very nice to meet you at Aquascape! My friends and I had such a beautiful time touring the gardens and ponds. So many nice homeowners. We went home to Iowa very inspired!
Thank you so much Laura and Aaron! And all the owners for opening their homes! And all the Pond builders and designers! Just Beautiful!❤
Love Kevin and Jacque! Enjoy their channels and learn SO much!
Those are beautiful yards and so peaceful. Lovely that the homeowners opened their homes to all of you. I bet the aquascape guys are friends with all their customers, they seem like such nice guys.
I want an Aquascape pond! Thank you for sharing your beautiful experiences with us. You are such a treasure. ❤️
I watch Epic Gardening & Jacques in the Garden, too. So cool to see all my garden heroes together. Thank you Laura & Aaron for sharing.💚🌱
Love these pond videos! Ty
This video potrays a beautiful vision - I can see why Greg loves his job - and Brian can create masterpieces ❤🎉the homeowners must be amazed at the transformation of their space! I am a huge fan ❤ from Andrea 😊
Brian does have a great job! So wonderful seeing you and Aaron out enjoying yourselves in a different setting. The ponds and gardens are spectacular. ☺️
Loved the video! It was great meeting you and Kevin on Saturday. Living in Chicago, I've always felt limited by space, but these tours showed me how to make the most of smaller lots. Excited for the rest of the aquascape videos this week, even though I was there! - Sarah
Isn't it wonderful to see someone having such FUN!!!!!! Enjoying something they are passionate about. Well done, Laura 😊
Hey Laura, I can’t believe you’re in my hometown…wow, I hope you all have a lot fun 🤩 n enjoy 😊 yourselves (eat as much good food &desserts as you can too!)please 🙏🏼 come back often! 💕🥰💕Girl, u are sooo cool 😎!💕
You would not need to vacation anywhere else. The ultimate pond retreat is right in your backyard!!! Thank you for bringing the value of a water feature into our consciousness. This truly is life changing.
I truly wish I would have been able to come and meet you. You were practically in my backyard. I hope you come back someday and I get a chance to finally meet you and Aaron. The gardens and ponds were breathtaking, I have watched the video already twice and I know I will continue to repeat to see everything! Thanks for all the time and effort in sharing with us! 🥰
These gardens and ponds are absolutely stunning! What a treat to be able to see these! Thank you Laura and Aaron for sharing!
I’ve seriously have never thought about getting a pond, and now I want one so bad! Spectacular!!! I’m feeling so inspired!
I love how Greg loves to swim in everyone's ponds! Beautiful tours of these labour of love homes/ponds/gardens. Thanks for sharing with us Laura. It was so much fun to visit St. Charles this weekend to meet everyone and see some of these beautiful properties in real life! Can't wait to see tomorrow's garden tour, if it's the one I'm thinking it is. I told Peggy that it reminded me of Butchart Gardens!
Greg's mom's pond is my favorite 😍
Yes, so gorgeous😍!! What a blessing it is 🥰.
Mine too!
Oh dearest Laura, you ALWAYS know just what to pull into your videos that make them just right!! How absolutely fantastic for you and Aaron to take us along with you on this amazing adventure!! Thank you!! Many of us would watch you watching paint dry just to experience it along with you 😀. I've had an idea about a little stream water feature in my backyard and these episodes give me courage to go for it.
The plunge pool/swimming options are fantastic! That’s a great idea for your new addition!
Thank you so much for bringing us along on such a fun, pretty, & inspiring tour!!! I kept watching, smiling through almost of the whole video, just enjoying all the beautiful views, enthusiasm, and kind people! (Special shout out to those who opened their homes and yards to the internet, as well as to you for being willing to film and speak throughout the tour when I imagine a voiceover would have been a much easier option) Thanks again!
Thanks for taking us along on this trip. 💛💚💙 it! As someone who grew up by a lake and among woods and nature this was a great sight to see. I'm old and a renter but I was already dreaming of how I could create that atmosphere on a small scale. It's not so much about the size but about the plants, rocks and water running that evoke the feeling you get from it.
Oh my gosh, these are all so beautiful! Now I want a pond! 😱😍🤩
Oh my word…so much beauty to take in! Yes! More seating around your pond. Looking so so forward to seeing the next pond etc. Great job of filming, Laura. 🩵💦🩵
The plunge pool one was stunning! Great kitchen view and loved the blue tinge of the pool! ❤❤
You did a great job capturing these AMAZING spaces, Laura! I am just in awe at each of them. We have a pond on our property that is sweet and great for swimming in, but what a dream it would be to add on to it with waterfalls and boulders… 😊❤
Mettere i sottotitoli 😂
If I had the funds I would so have this done in my yard, the sound of water is so peaceful, love this.
Wow. Expecting a massive addition after this tour.
You guys must be so excited for the possibilities with yours.
Love love love 💖💖
Thanks to the home owners that let you all come in and take us with you. Laura you were just a few hours from my house. You were lucky because it gets horribly humid here but I do love it here thanks for all the footage you got because it felt like I was right there with you!!! Glad you had a great visit to Illinois
Amazing. People actually live surrounded by views of the beautiful ponds.
Oh to have one of those outside my door, what a treat waking up would be👏👏👏👏 The design, the plants, just beautiful!! Thanks for taking us along, can’t wait to see the next one!!!
Very inspiring pond designs! The pride of ownership was evident.
Loved each and every pond. I have a teeny tiny pond in my postage stamp size yard. It includes a small waterfall. We love the sound of the water. We tried having fish, but the raccoons thought it was a restaurant. So now we just have mosquito fish. Thank you for showing us all these amazing homes. You did a wonderful job showcasing them. Can’t wait to see the last one.
Combining two of my favorite things - horticulture and moving water, so brilliantly designed
Oh my!! Just so relaxing and beautiful! Everybody needs a hammock 😊to nap right next to the ponds!! Love them all! 🥰
Thank you Laura for sharing the excitement and beauty of these pondscapes! I have been watching Aquascape and Garden Answer for years. You both have been an inspiration! We live on Burge Mountain in Western NC. My brother has mastered part sun, shade gardening! He built me a pond, waterfall just steps from my veranda. I positioned my indoor living room to enjoy the water feature. We have great views from inside or sitting on the veranda. “Gardening in a Woodland Shade Garden” on TH-cam is my humble contribution to restoring the planet. Much love to gardeners everywhere.
We have loved all of it Laura!! We're taking it all in right along with you! Thank You so much for sharing! (You have lots of room for more sitting, even with your plants)
Hi Guys~ Oh Laura... Thank you for bringing us along on this incredible tour of these gorgeous ponds! I now think I would love to have a pond with koi installed on my property now that I have seen more of what is possible. I love yours & Aaron's pond, but this video has enticed me further.
I do hope you & Aaron enjoyed every minute of this trip. Safe travels! Thanks again! 🙋
Wow what a fun day Laura. Thanks for sharing this day with us. I am in love with all the ponds. They are so beautiful and relaxing. ❤ What a great team of designers.
Oh my goodness they’re all gorgeous and because I can’t pick just one, I want all those ponds in my backyard. ❤❤❤
How amazing is this video! I can only imagine how gorgeous these ponds were in person. Thank you to the home owners for sharing their beautiful gardens and ponds with us. It certainly makes me want a pond! Looking forward to seeing the other videos. Thank you for sharing! ❤
The landscaping around these ponds are! I am sure that it’s giving you more inspiration Laura. What you and Aaron have done so far is gorgeous as well.
Laura and Aaron are the best!!!! There are no words to describe these ponds/ outdoors except.....Magical
This is so fun! Thank you for taking us with you! Love seeing it through your eyes. Did you get so many ideas for your build? you hit a good week, as far as weather. We have had such a hot summer in IL, but have enjoyed cooler temps this last week.
Great collection of people, sharing, and inspiration. I appreciate every moment. Kudos to the families opening their homes to viewers! Remarkable folks all around in this episode!
You came on the right week. It had rained everyday for almost a week and a half and the humidity was horrible. Glad you had good weather.
Not to mention the Derecho! 24 tornadoes counted as of yesterday, I believe (that's the whole state, but the majority were around Chicago!
Laura, you did a great job showcasing these water gardens, I really enjoyed seeing them through your eyes.
I love how fresh and clear that first pond is, so refreshing!
This was amazing! I loved every minute of it. Such beautiful spaces and some great ideas. It was so nice of the homeowners to allow all of us to peek in their spaces. Absolutely stunning. Thanks Laura for sharing such a fun video with us!
What a wonderful group of people. Thanks for taking us along! Such beautiful properties! The stream at the end gave me some Laura/Aaron stream vibes. How exciting!
Hi Laura! Special thanks to everyone involved in having these tours. All of the properties are beautiful! Greg and Brian did an outstanding job on all of them. Thank you so much for sharing!
What a treat! Thank you Laura and Aaron for bringing us along.
Yes, I agree with Aaron. There should be more secret sitting areas in your garden and now looking at this ponds, it would be incredible another pond in the south garden as well. Thanks Laura for showing us this beautiful ponds. Can't wait to see the next video.
Amazing to experience these water gardens through Laura's eyes and camera. Each one so different and beautiful. I feel so far I would be over whelmed if I were there in person experiencing this tour. This was so important for Laura and Aaron to see the possibilities now with their water feature and property. As always thank you for bringing us along.
Your face when you showed that gorgeous sunflower was precious! I am so glad you have scaled back so that you don’t feel like a robot and you can enjoy spending time in your garden and with family.
Oh my, you and Kevin together. I cannot wait to see his video as well. Seeing two perspectives will be so great. The pods are so beautiful 🩷.
Yes, looking forward to seeing his video as well. The fish really did like him 😅.
This was just the BEST video! Talk about inspiration. I'm just mind blown. So glad to see Kevin and Jacques there, too. You all are favorites of mine!!
Wow! They were amazing! I didn't want the video to end. Thank you so much for sharing! Loved it! ❤
I love seeing Kevin on your channel with you. I love watching his videos. I was like, "Wait! I know him!" Lol
Wow! Amazing properties. Illustrates how much a water feature adds to the setting and how drawn to it you instantly become. Stunning!
Beautiful ponds, love all the foliage around the ponds, I am sure yours will be just as beautiful when it matures. Thank you for taking us along.❤️
Oh wow!!!! Beautiful gardens, and beautiful water features!! Could sit and watch these all day! Thank you Laura &Aaron, and thank you Aquascapes team! Beautiful!!
Wow! What a treat to get to see these beautiful areas. Lovely and so very peaceful. Thank you for sharing with us!
What a great trip! The ponds are beautiful and love the sound of the falls!
Thanks for taking us along with this ponds adventure.I felt so excited for your dream stream Laura...can't wait to see it come along..those ponds are amazing...so calming place to relax❤❤❤
