    Ok, I literally gasped when the drone footage started and the Hartley was just shining…but then I literally teared up watching the rest. It has come so far in such a short time. Everything is looking so lush. And then Benjamin running around and pushing Samatha…you could see their future in this gorgeous sanctuary and it did me in. Thank you for sharing this all with us. It’s more inspiring than you’ll ever know 🌱💫

      I totally agree. I just LOVE watching GA every day. I've learned so much and Laura and Aaron make me feel like I CAN do this. The property is progressing beautifully. I get a little overwhelmed thinking about taking care of all of that property! LOL The drone footage at the end was the icing on the cake, my eyes were watering watching this lovely family on their beautiful property. So many memories to be made there. Love this family!

    It’s a weird feeling to feel proud of people that you’ve never met, but I’m really struck by how happy I am for you. The drone shots show how far you’ve come and watching all the hard work you’ve put in to your channel and your property pay off is so satisfying. And Benjamin’s happy dance is the perfect cherry on top. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. It’s been great.

    That last footage with the drone shots left me in tears. On the surface it’s just gardening, it’s land development, projects, plants, structures and trees. But for those who have watched you since the beginning of your TH-cam career we know the understory. How dedicated and passionate you are. We’ve gotten to know your family and your day to day. You’re creating such a beautiful thing and for sappy-hearted people like me it’s the absolute definition of romancing the ordinary. I hope you all feel incredibly blessed and know truly what a diamond you’ve created.

    The drone footage at the end made me tear up to see Benjamin running in the garden and see Laura with Samantha Grace enjoying the cooler air, too. You have created such a beautiful space for your family. SO happy for you to be able to enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Thank you for sharing your little corner of love and joy and life with us all.

    I caught my breath as Benjamin ran out ♥ what a thrill it has been to watch him grow up and then there is his baby sister. Thank you Aaron and Laura for blessing my day ♥

    Thank you Laura and Aaron for another job well done. I truly believe the reason your channels have grown is that for many of us, you are the sane, normal, happy, bright spots in our day. I for one am happy you consciously choose to keep the outside out of the beautiful world you share with us 👏

    Anyone else cry at the end? It’s been so wonderful to follow you on this journey to make the new property your own and blend beautifully with the original. Also, I remember when Laura used to dig every hole with a shovel. A lot has changed in the past 5 years! ❤️

    Glad to know I wasn't the only one teary eyed watching sweet Benjamin running across the grass..... especially once Laura and Samantha came into view! Really enjoyed the planting part of this video ( my favorite types!) but the drone footage with the lovely music was just stunning. Thank you Ken and Aaron! Truly memorable.

    I get so excited to watch each episode - you make us feel as though it is our own garden and we're planting along with you. Thank you. My garden is all over 2x4m so I think I am living vicariously through you to enjoy a beautiful big space becoming your own.

    Not going to lie...I got teary eyed seeing Benjamin, Laura, & Samantha Grace at the end. Such a precious family that I'm so thankful to watch grow on TH-cam. Also, I'm blown away with how much has taken place in such a short period of time. It looks amazing!!! And I CANNOT wait to see the pumpkin harvest! 🤗

    Drone shots really bring it to life…it looks amazing. I don’t think the high tunnels look out of place. If it’s a practical need then leave or move them back a little.
    PS. Your Benjamin & Samantha Grace are going to love growing up there. What memories they’ll create!

  • @JaneMC36

    I NEVER comment on anything, but your videos and instruction have inspired me so much. THANK YOU!!!!! The drone shots at the end of this video are breathtaking.......simply breathtaking. I'm 64 years old and have just started gardening. You have given me so much to strive for, think about, and dream about. I'm on a retirement path that is filled with joy and you have helped me on my journey!!!!!!!!

    WOW, WOW, WOW!!! What a great video! After watching the weather about Ida the hurricane, I found my happy place here with Laura! Living in Central Louisiana, I don't think we have too much to be worried about, hopefully!! No matter what is going on in the world, your site is where I go to to forget about the world and go into this paradise of Laura, Aaron and babies! No other place I'd rather be when the world seems to be falling apart! Aaron, that aerial view of the property and having Laura and the babies come out on the front lawn was exceptional! I too am sitting here crying like a baby seeing a heavenly place here on earth! It has crossed my mind many times that this must be what heaven is like! Seeing the joy in Laura doing her thing with the plants, Aaron videoing, always smiling and the babies playing and laughing is such a pleasure to watch! Thank you both so much for bringing this joyful place to all of us! Y'all make life so much more enjoyable with all that is wrong with the world! More and more blessing to you all, beloveds!

    I really like the pink berry shrubs. The shot with Laura and her babies brought tears to my eyes. Those memories are the real lasting treasures. Who would have dreamed a little boy running through the grass so happy. Running up to see his mom and sister could touch so many hearts. Excellent.

  • @moxleyfamily6610

    @tshockmom69 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I loved seeing the drone footage of the new areas. The Hartley was stunning, the paths were defined, the cut garden was so formal, and the green grass area was lush . The ending with Benjamin running and meeting you and Samantha was priceless. What a great yard to play in, I see soccer goals in the future!

    The ending of this video made me SO happy I literally almost cried. So much beauty from absolutely nothing. 💜 I imagined that saying "all because two people fell in love" and it made me think of my grandparents.

    Oh my gosh! The ending was absolutely magical and gave me goosebumps. I am so happy I found you when you first bought this home and have been able to see your journey of making it all into such a wonderland for you, your children and especially all of us that feel like your family too.

    Ditto what others have said about the drone footage at the end. I love ALL your content and I've learned so much, but I wept with joy for your family watching the drone footage. When I think about the 1.37 MILLION subscribers you have blessed by sharing your love and knowledge about gardening, and all the friends and family you bless when you say "Come and get it!" AND then the produce you so generously share with your community, I am so thankful that you are able to do what you love and be blessed abundantly in return. Thanks so very much for the example you are to so many -- gracious, generous, kind, loving ... reminds me of "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Agreed! 2 years in the transformation is beautiful. The final couple of minutes was just…..ahh! Then to see Benjamin running through the green grass to meet mom and sister was, wipe a tear away, just magically sweet and beautiful. Bless you all.
