I know someone always writes something like this, but my goodness - it is coming together so beautifully around your gardens. Not just as individual spaces with various themes, but the different spaces knitting into each other so evenly and purposefully. You are all inspirational. Thank you! ✨🪴✨
Laura, to say that you made good progress this year is an understatement. OMG! You guys knocked it out of the park. Are you kidding me with all the mature evergreen trees you planted. The Dream Stream! The revamping of the flower garden with hundreds of box woods. The new entrance gate. The new warehouse with Ken. WOW! What did I miss? I really enjoy watching your property evolve into something that is just amazing. Good team you have working there. Congratulations.
Paul! Oh to have a Paul who does things before you ask! Laura, YOU, my friend are blessed beyond measure. The best part is you give Blessings in return! ❤
I’ve watched GA since long before the children were born and it’s been a wonderful gardening education for a lifetime LA apartment dweller who now had a back yard in Portland. 😳 I didn’t have a clue. But I’ve got to say, I think I’m enjoying how you grow children even more than how you grow plants. Benjamin and Samantha are such fun! I love seeing how engaged and adventurous they are. I know that you are all real people, and that we only see a tiny slice of your lives, but your videos are filled with love, joy, play, fun work, friendship, family and beauty and that’s a true gift to the viewer.
Thank you so much for putting the names of the plants on-screen and in the description! I know I appreciate it and hopefully others do too. I asked for it, and I hope it’s not too much trouble, but I so appreciate it. Thank you!
I love it too, but then it takes me 1-2 days to finish the video. I pop over to g oo g le & home d ep ot & Amz & put shrubs, trees, & seeds in my shopping cart to research later. 🥳
I have to say you say, ‘get it done’ so often that I started thinking the same way and now my garden is looking way better because I am just getting it done! My 7year old daughter said you need “get it done” merch!
Love all the plants and the various colors and textures. I know it's work waiting to be done but really like the gold leaves forming a carpet by the pond. They're so pretty!!
I so appreciate your wisdom! Especially when you were explaining the reasoning behind the boxwoods planted in a point as opposed to a curve behind the benches. The way you think things through is impressive and extremely useful to us novice gardeners! ❤
Mom working hard in a thick coat and Samantha Grace meandering through the garden in a short sleeve shirt. Gives this great grandma heart so much joy in the morning ♥ because I have been both ♥
I love your channel! So wholesome! I tell everyone about your channel! There is something for everyone! Flowers, Shrubs, dirt, cats, tractors, bugs and the best..the kiddos! I’m a boy mom..19 and 20 year old young men..and the 19 year old said the other day “Mom ..they’re having a sale!” I was watching this video and I saw Samantha and the purple coat dart by in the background! I thought “Those kids will never want to leave home!”
We have sand cherries here in Alaska that I love so much! Their leaves have the color of rubies. When the cottonwood trees leaves turn gold we have red, gold, blue spruce blue, spirea, and arborvitae. I learned about the four colors from this channel a few years ago. Thankyou!
I wondered about your L-shape with the boxwoods until I saw the drone shot. The L-shape was a beautiful design choice! So much more interesting than another swoop.
Growing up as an inner city kid, I used to love going to an aunt’s house out in the burbs that had thickly planted borders. Watching the kids poke out through those dogwoods brought back magical memories! Everything looks amazing Laura! You hanks for another fun video! ❤️
Great video as always. I never realized the importance of red, yellow, green, blue in the landscape. As we were driving around town I pointed out a lovely yard to my husband and then realized why it looked so good. All the colors. Thank you for teaching me that.😊
I'm one of the people who suggested that you put the boxwoods in a curve behind the benches. But, now I understand your reasoning. It all made sense at the end of the video when Aaron showed the overhead view. You're so right! Another curved area would have been mundane. The squared off areas actually give it more character. Please accept my apology for jumping the gun and commenting BEFORE the overhead shots were shown. LOVELY!! I hope you always keep going with your great sense of balance. 💚😊💚
Garden Answer is my favorite TH-cam channel! I’ve learned so much about gardening & gained confidence to try new things. I’m super excited about playing in the garden after a very long, hot summer where I live. While shopping for flowers yesterday I couldn’t help but think of Laura!
Love when the kids pop out of bushes. I'm glad they are having such great fun outdoors growing up, such great healthy memories. I love the spruce🌲 it would look pretty with Christmas lights. Looking forward to Aarons drone video. Thank you! ❤❤❤❤
Those are very nice perennial plants, thank you so much for telling us the names of the plants, I love the colors and texture it gives me ideas to mix plants in my garden, I like your hard work is fun, many blessings❤❤❤
I understand, how you like the leaves tidy...but nothing say natural landscape like the beautiful leaves creating beautiful ground cover (exclude bug harboring) and soil rejuvenation! The stream at 11:14 is absolutely STUNNING!
At 9:23 Douglas is in the driver’s seat soaking up the sun. Love the cats. I want to start a new garden bed just so I can plant a beautiful mix of colors and shapes! What about lollipop roses behind the benches in the formal cutting garden? The square shape just cries out for something spectacular.
Congratulations on your hip replacement. I've had both of mine done. Just keep up with your physical therapy, and you'll be playing in the dirty in no time.
I know it's more her style, and I know Laura will make it beautiful, but every time Laura works in and shows us around her more natural style gardens, I always wonder how anyone can prefer formal over natural. Of course I understand it's a matter of taste, but formal looks so contrived to me, and commercial. I'm sure it's because there was a big cemetery near my childhood home that was all straight lines, statuary and boxwood hedges everywhere, so it makes me think of that when I see the formal plantings. But oh my goodness, her natural areas are my idea of Heaven! What a gift she has, to be able to make formal areas and more natural ones, equally beautiful. Such amazing talent!
I’m always amazed at your natural soil. You said you got quite a bit of rain the night before but some of those holes you dug were so incredibly dry. Love everything that you do! Such an inspiration
Quite a bit of rain, for us (I live 40 min from Laura), is a quarter inch of rain. We are so dry here that even a slow drizzle for a few hours will barely penetrate the soil.
As others have said-Wow what a year! So many beautiful trees, plants, dream stream etc!!! Really loved where today’s plants went and winter interest throughout your gardens! Absolutely loved the kids popping out of the dogwoods! What a natural playground for them! And your fish!❤ Thank you for creating this channel and sharing your journey ❤❤❤
I'm so envious of your cold weather and frost. Here in eastern NC we rarely now get very cold in winter and haven't seen snow in 6 yrs, so the bugs weather over as do the weeds. The leaves on our trees just turn brown with no color change and the mosquitoes are still out and biting. Unfortunately our climate does not support fir trees so we make do with other evergreens that aren't as pretty as yours. So your videos are a joy to view.
As much as I always enjoy watching you plant, the highlight of today's video for me was seeing Benjamin and Samantha playing in the shrubs and around the trees. It reminds me of my childhood and the magic of exploring. It is wonderful that you and Aaron can provide that right in your own backyard! ❤
Definitely Beautiful Plants For Fall & Winter!! Love your Dream Stream -- especially the plants you placed in this video!! Great Job!! Thanks for sharing -- Love the Sound of the Water!!
Even I didn’t see the beginning of the video, I’d have thought Laura had gone up to the mountains when she was by the waterfall! A beautiful mountain stream right on your property, you guys can camp out there 👍🏼lol Love your videos and family such a joy. Many thanks 🙏
Laura your face at 14:38, I love how your not scared to be yourself and show a bit of pride and "look at what I did/ can do! You guys should think of looking for spaces in Houston, TX for the other warehouse. Great location, close to the port, great work force in the area aaaand I could get lower shipping rates 🤭
Aaron should be so proud of his gorgeous green lawn an areas of green ,plus the trees. So many just filling in the properties with shade color, and the architectural effects . Some tall creating a living fence, some grouped to create a statement in an area. The Eastern White Pine and Junipers that tend to stay on a smaller scale are just gorgeous in the stream/ pond area. Nestled close to the boulders are perfect placements. Will be adding those to my my landscape. The colors of green,to blues are adding a cooling effect plus being evergreen for year long color. I never thought of color beyond things that would bloom. For anyone young and buying a home only need to watch your channel to create a beautiful landscape to enjoy. An it doesn't have to be a rushed process as you've proven. Adding yearly a little here and there ,getting trees and shrubs established so watering doesn't become an everyday thing in the summer. Once established in a year,it only becomes needed once a week if no rain. Blooming shrubs, some roses, an leaving space for annuals during the summer that will take watering almost on an everyday basis during hot summer days. Containers bring that element, an can be placed to easy water access if one doesn't have drip installed. You bring it all to the table, to decide for yourself based on your space and time you have to create areas that you enjoy instead of dread. If it becomes overwhelming, then the desire may be there,but quickly becomes too much and will end before it even gets started . I've learned so much over the years, and color doesn't always come from blooms but an array of mixtures of plants that bring interest thru out the gardens year long.
Great planting love the plants. Yes lots of leaves. The kids making their way threw the jungle. So much fun. Thanks again for sharing this with us. 💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
When I saw Aaron’s drone shots of the flower garden, I knew immediately why you placed the boxwoods around the benches at right angles. We have learned not to question your gardening choices. You are a terrific garden designer. I have learned lots from your channel. 😊
Oh my goodness you are so inspiring!!! Thank you for your videos, you gave me the confidence to plant a beautiful flower garden along my driveway way and at my front door thank you 🥰🌺
My favorite plant on my birthday ❤ Montana moss juniper ❤ love it and the color, I said it at the same time as Laura did 😂 Thank you for all the videos I look forward to them. Loving all the new boxwoods and the fountain together, so beautiful 😍
I’m not sure how I found Garden Answer but after being a loyal watcher for many years, I don’t know what I’d do without my daily(almost) dose of your channel. One request and a thing that sometimes leaves me wondering if I can manage plantings like yours - can you include the general care requirements when you are planting a variety of things as in this video. You always include zones/sizes but I’d also like to know about water needs, pruning requirements , sun/shade, evergreen or not…..etc. I know you do this for some plants, sometimes. Thanks so much for the gift of Garden Answer!
It is so sad to see it all dying back and coming to the end I am enjoying seeing the various planting you are doing with the boxwoods, and pine trees. I can't wait to see spring come back with your videos.
So many ideas! I love all your suggestions for new plants. I am green over how good your red twig dogwood look. Mine have battled for 3 years the herd of deer (who think it is the best snack ever). I am not sure they (the dogwoods) will return next year, but we will see. Such is the joy in the garden. The deer are beautiful, we have two big bucks. I have also enjoyed the set of twins we have watched grow over the summer. It is a balancing act. Watching your children run about and enjoy the marvelous space you have created is a delight to my heart. Great job positive parenting and not worrying about the small stuff.
look what you've done this year and years past! oh my word!! stunning, absolutely stunning.. love seeing those leaves around the pond, making it look like you are just out in the woods somewhere... your whole property is just amazing... all this in what - 7 years? that's a phenomenal pace - and all done so that it looks as if nature planted it that way... impressive! thanks for taking us along every day!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
Thank you for all the pruning information on the Arctic Fire dogwoods. I just had them planted in my landscape and are totally new to me. Love all your videos!!
I had the same question about the square vs the swoop. 🎯 Thank you for addressing that. Your expertise in planning is why everything is looking so amazing!!!
Laura will you be having Padre and his crew putting stone walk ways through the dirt lands and the other new areas ? Just wondering, the ones you have are beautiful ! ❤❤😊
Laura, your thoughtful placement of each plant is perfect and inspiring. Thank you for sharing what each plant will grow to look like, when mature, if we purchase any of these varieties.
Have diligently worked on this advice and can see the improvement in the overall look. In my shade garden this has been tough but it is slowly coming along. 😊
6:00 Miss Laura, I have a suggestion. Your selling the leaf tarps in your warehouse, right? Why couldn’t you lay that on the ground over your mulch and put your dirt on it? When planting a new plant. That way you have dirt on top of your mulch. And then you just slide your dirt back into the hole then dispose of the remaining unused dirt. I guess that only works when your hand digging. Lol😊
Love your videos so much. Every morning, it’s my favorite thing to start my day. I have seen others lay a caution tape over the electrical lines in the ground, so you would know to stop digging, before you (or someone else) cut an electrical line, if that is of any interest to you. The fall foliage on the chicken coop tree is beautiful! I see now why you did right angles on the boxwoods behind the benches-good idea! You really have a sharp eye for the details, everything looks incredible, I love it!
At 13:58, you should make a horse riding path there. Maybe make more paths on the property so you can appreciate the view of your beautiful garden on horseback.
AGHHhhhh my heart aches a bit seeing that artic fire. I love them so much but they completely turn into a fungus mess in my garden (I've tried 3x)... but I'll live vicariously through Laura & her garden. Loved the music!
I love the names/pics on the screen of everything you put in, thank you! Your massive juniper made me miss ours -- it was by the road when we moved in 11 years ago and even though I pruned it every year (using the long branches as outdoor holiday decor sprayed with a little WiltStop) its roots finally crept into the water meter access and hubby said it had to be dug out :(
I found my favorite area of the pond. By the Ruby Chip Butterfly Bush looking back toward the stream and waterfall. And there's lovely waterfall sound too. ❤
I love seeing those little treasures appear - Benjamin and Samantha. Of course I always look forward forward to some video bombing from the handsomes Douglas and Russell. I was thinking you might need one of those big leaf vacuums to clear by the pond. I love the falling leaves but you don’t want them ruining the pond. Thank you as always a delightful vlog ❤
Hello, Garden Answer Folks! I love your educational videos on gardening! But most of all, I love your enthusiasm, energy, and how you dedicate yourselves to making the garden magic happen. Thanks so much for everything you are offering other enthusiastic gardeners. From Humboldt County, California ❤️🌲🌳🌲🎄🎋
What an absolutely wonderful vedios. Laura, you're amazing. Your memory to remember all those names of plants. The perfect place to place them. The colors of the plant placement. Wow! And your family their so great. And your beautiful mother is awesome. I love your vetio. Don't know how you do everything you do.
I totally saw your vision on the other video when I saw it from the drone view! Regarding how you planted the boxwoods! It looks perfect and geometric! I saw the large square that was created.
I know someone always writes something like this, but my goodness - it is coming together so beautifully around your gardens. Not just as individual spaces with various themes, but the different spaces knitting into each other so evenly and purposefully. You are all inspirational. Thank you! ✨🪴✨
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
It is stunning! ❤
I agree! It's a beautiful transition.
It's Heavenly!
Lovely spaces❤
Idk, but seeing the leaves on the ground around the dream stream, just makes it look so natural and inviting.
Absolutely
I thought the same thing. The leaves make it look like like your hiking in the mountains.
@@trayvixk4642me too!
I've been missing the stream! Glad to see it today
Nice relaxing music, too ❤
Children playing hide and seek, kitty 🐈⬛ 🐈 cat cuddles and koi fish kisses…what bliss in the beautiful garden! ❤😊😂
Laura, to say that you made good progress this year is an understatement. OMG! You guys knocked it out of the park. Are you kidding me with all the mature evergreen trees you planted. The Dream Stream! The revamping of the flower garden with hundreds of box woods. The new entrance gate. The new warehouse with Ken. WOW! What did I miss? I really enjoy watching your property evolve into something that is just amazing. Good team you have working there. Congratulations.
I was just thinking the same thing. These were huge projects. I think they will truly NEED the quieter months ahead!
Totally agree. Soo much progress.
Totally agree such a joy watching the progress can’t wait for the next video to see more -so exciting ❤
She had some trees planted.
Do we see the same results?
Her Sep gardens showing was just meh.
Right!? This year has been like… 15 years or more of progress in one season. It’s SUCH a blessing!
Paul! Oh to have a Paul who does things before you ask! Laura, YOU, my friend are blessed beyond measure. The best part is you give Blessings in return! ❤
I’ve watched GA since long before the children were born and it’s been a wonderful gardening education for a lifetime LA apartment dweller who now had a back yard in Portland. 😳 I didn’t have a clue. But I’ve got to say, I think I’m enjoying how you grow children even more than how you grow plants. Benjamin and Samantha are such fun! I love seeing how engaged and adventurous they are. I know that you are all real people, and that we only see a tiny slice of your lives, but your videos are filled with love, joy, play, fun work, friendship, family and beauty and that’s a true gift to the viewer.
Thank you so much for putting the names of the plants on-screen and in the description! I know I appreciate it and hopefully others do too. I asked for it, and I hope it’s not too much trouble, but I so appreciate it. Thank you!
Same!
I love it too, but then it takes me 1-2 days to finish the video. I pop over to g oo g le & home d ep ot & Amz & put shrubs, trees, & seeds in my shopping cart to research later. 🥳
…& then I get distracted with something else. ADHD. 😂
@@mmsanrioI do the same.
I have to say you say, ‘get it done’ so often that I started thinking the same way and now my garden is looking way better because I am just getting it done!
My 7year old daughter said you need “get it done” merch!
Love all the plants and the various colors and textures. I know it's work waiting to be done but really like the gold leaves forming a carpet by the pond. They're so pretty!!
I so appreciate your wisdom! Especially when you were explaining the reasoning behind the boxwoods planted in a point as opposed to a curve behind the benches. The way you think things through is impressive and extremely useful to us novice gardeners! ❤
The dream stream is even more glorious with tha carpet of fallen leaves. Its truly shaping up to be a beautiful haven at the le boutillier's.
Mom working hard in a thick coat and Samantha Grace meandering through the garden in a short sleeve shirt. Gives this great grandma heart so much joy in the morning ♥ because I have been both ♥
I love your channel! So wholesome! I tell everyone about your channel! There is something for everyone! Flowers, Shrubs, dirt, cats, tractors, bugs and the best..the kiddos! I’m a boy mom..19 and 20 year old young men..and the 19 year old said the other day “Mom ..they’re having a sale!” I was watching this video and I saw Samantha and the purple coat dart by in the background! I thought “Those kids will never want to leave home!”
There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how your spaces have evolved! Such a beautiful place to be - ❤❤❤
Watching you planting, plus this music, is just so relaxing! Love your videos so much!
🩷
Yes! ❤
We have sand cherries here in Alaska that I love so much! Their leaves have the color of rubies. When the cottonwood trees leaves turn gold we have red, gold, blue spruce blue, spirea, and arborvitae. I learned about the four colors from this channel a few years ago. Thankyou!
I lived in Eagle River, Alaska for eight years, I miss it so much! I wonder if it’s changed a lot. I left in 2001.
I could watch your pond and dream stream every day and not grow tired of it.
I loved seeing Samantha and Benjamin playing in the bushes, brings back memories of my childhood ❤
I wondered about your L-shape with the boxwoods until I saw the drone shot. The L-shape was a beautiful design choice! So much more interesting than another swoop.
I would absolutely have loved being a kid in a garden like yours! So magical
I love the way the rain water has puddled on some of the bigger rocks.
I was admiring the same thing and there you said it !!!
I love seeing big beautiful Douglas 😍 kitty
I keep learning so much from you 😊 thank you for all your great information
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤
Hi Rose ~ Thank you... Same to you! 🙋
Hi Rose ~ Thank you... Same to you 💙
I love how Douglas hangs out at the pond area a lot. He is a beautiful cat!
Good morning, I see Douglas! I’ve been missing him!! Your fall interest is amazing! I love looking at anything you show us!!

Great to see Inspector Douglas hard at work 🐈
I love all the plantings, but I am looking forward to your next antiquing excursion with your mom and sister.

Those Montana’s would be pretty in the flower beds near the new gate!!
Beautiful, productive video. I loved seeing Douglas inspecting the property.
Definitely Beautiful Plants For Fall & Winter!! Love your Dream Stream -- especially the plants you placed in this video!! Great Job!! Thanks for sharing -- Love the Sound of the Water!!
Thank you, Laura! What a day you have had. Do supper and then rest❤
Doesn’t it just blow your mind every day to plant or just hang out near your gorgeous mountain stream? With multiple waterfalls?! So-oo beautiful!!

I love the juniper. Funny how in your garden it looks foresty and natural. In my yard, it’d look very mid century modern.
Laura, if you like the Montana Moss, you will love the Grey Owl Juniper. I love them both. Evergreens are my favorite!
Oh my goodness you are so inspiring!!! Thank you for your videos, you gave me the confidence to plant a beautiful flower garden along my driveway way and at my front door thank you 🥰🌺
Glad to see Douglas !
Cute little girl and boy love seeing them having fun with you 💙💟 love trees with flowers fruit and berries 🍒 on thanks for sharing 🤙💞🙏
Good morning! Everything looks great. So many beautiful trees, bushes & plants.
That is a stunning juniper! What a great look. Also, the Norway Spruce. Beautiful!
Douglas! Missed you buddy.
Beautiful plants today.
I'm so glad you planted more of the Montana Moss juniper. I love the growth habit and it fits so well in the pond area.

I have also enjoyed the set of twins we have watched grow over the summer. It is a balancing act. Watching your children run about and enjoy the marvelous space you have created is a delight to my heart. Great job positive parenting and not worrying about the small stuff.
look what you've done this year and years past! oh my word!! stunning, absolutely stunning.. love seeing those leaves around the pond, making it look like you are just out in the woods somewhere... your whole property is just amazing... all this in what - 7 years? that's a phenomenal pace - and all done so that it looks as if nature planted it that way... impressive! thanks for taking us along every day!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
Thank you for all the pruning information on the Arctic Fire dogwoods. I just had them planted in my landscape and are totally new to me. Love all your videos!!
I think you're over thinking the bullseye and doughnut but it's your space and I love everything you have done.
My favourite type of video! Just a random planting day with Laura, it relaxes and inspires me so much🍂🍁
I had the same question about the square vs the swoop. 🎯 Thank you for addressing that. Your expertise in planning is why everything is looking so amazing!!!
Laura will you be having Padre and his crew putting stone walk ways through the dirt lands and the other new areas ? Just wondering, the ones you have are beautiful ! ❤❤😊
THANK YOU for the plant tags on the screen! 💚🌿🌲
We hope that you will have some groups of lighted fawns and deer during the holidays flanking the stream!
So nice to see more planting at the stream
Laura, your thoughtful placement of each plant is perfect and inspiring. Thank you for sharing what each plant will grow to look like, when mature, if we purchase any of these varieties.
We are putting in new gardens in the spring. I’m taking notes on what to use in our meadow area.
I’ve watched your videos for a few years now. You and your family’s journey has been incredible. So happy for you! Thank you for what you do.
Oh my goodness they turned out so stinking cute🌲☃️⛄🌲
Also appreciate the reminder of using green, blue, red and yellow in our beds.
Have diligently worked on this advice and can see the improvement in the overall look. In my shade garden this has been tough but it is slowly coming along. 😊
You're property is beautiful! I look forward to your videos every morning. I'm so glad to see Douglas. I've been wondering where he has been.
cat's pajamas are my new "i need to have it" plant
Good morning Laura and family! Every video is a joy. Hugs from N.C..❤
6:00 Miss Laura, I have a suggestion. Your selling the leaf tarps in your warehouse, right? Why couldn’t you lay that on the ground over your mulch and put your dirt on it? When planting a new plant. That way you have dirt on top of your mulch. And then you just slide your dirt back into the hole then dispose of the remaining unused dirt. I guess that only works when your hand digging. Lol😊
Love your videos so much. Every morning, it’s my favorite thing to start my day. I have seen others lay a caution tape over the electrical lines in the ground, so you would know to stop digging, before you (or someone else) cut an electrical line, if that is of any interest to you. The fall foliage on the chicken coop tree is beautiful! I see now why you did right angles on the boxwoods behind the benches-good idea! You really have a sharp eye for the details, everything looks incredible, I love it!
At 13:58, you should make a horse riding path there. Maybe make more paths on the property so you can appreciate the view of your beautiful garden on horseback.
AGHHhhhh my heart aches a bit seeing that artic fire. I love them so much but they completely turn into a fungus mess in my garden (I've tried 3x)... but I'll live vicariously through Laura & her garden. Loved the music!
I love the names/pics on the screen of everything you put in, thank you! Your massive juniper made me miss ours -- it was by the road when we moved in 11 years ago and even though I pruned it every year (using the long branches as outdoor holiday decor sprayed with a little WiltStop) its roots finally crept into the water meter access and hubby said it had to be dug out :(
I found my favorite area of the pond. By the Ruby Chip Butterfly Bush looking back toward the stream and waterfall. And there's lovely waterfall sound too. ❤
I love seeing those little treasures appear - Benjamin and Samantha. Of course I always look forward forward to some video bombing from the handsomes Douglas and Russell. I was thinking you might need one of those big leaf vacuums to clear by the pond. I love the falling leaves but you don’t want them ruining the pond. Thank you as always a delightful vlog ❤

And your family their so great. And your beautiful mother is awesome. I love your vetio. Don't know how you do everything you do.
I totally saw your vision on the other video when I saw it from the drone view! Regarding how you planted the boxwoods! It looks perfect and geometric! I saw the large square that was created.
