Laura, you and Aaron have a hit with these "before and after" series! This is the perfect content for winter! It lifts our spirits and gives us inspiration and encouragement that we can create something beautiful from whatever we're starting with. Thank you so much for all you do to inspire and educate us, and thank you to everyone who submitted photos of their beautiful projects. 💚 🌿🌸🌿
I third this sentiment! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more of these! I've had a "writer's block" for garden planning the last few weeks as I try to come up with a master plan for my property as we are looking into doing major improvements with hardscaping, deck building, tree work, etc, and this is exactly what I needed to move forward!
I love these before and afters, they’re just so motivating! It’s so relatable to see how most of us started with a horrible canvas…and through a little blood, sweat and hard work, TA-DA! A gorgeous space that’s unique to each of us 😊👩🏻🌾🌻🌳🌺
You are right, we all begin with a different canvas. Our hard work makes all the difference. But those years of work means that we are now elderly and/ or widowed. Gardens go downhill until new younger legs take over. It doesn't mean we don't care, just unable.
@@annehedlund7333 oh bless you Ms. Anne, if you lived near me I’d be more than happy to help you maintain your gardens. I already help a couple neighbors that are no longer able to, and I have the best time with those ladies and learn so much! I surely hope there is someone there to help you with yours, everyone needs a little help sometimes 💯💙
@@annehedlund7333 It is bit sad to hear... In our country one can go to local church & ask if they have somebody who can vollonteer, as making company sometimes, go shopping, or, as in your case, help You out in the garden... 🤔 Usually there are people of various ages among church community, so maybe somebody is interresting in gardening as well..? 🤔 Blessings with hope that Your situation turns out to most beautyful garden! 🙏🙌🌱🌿🌷🌺🥀🌹🌼🌻🌲🌳🐛🐝🐞
Oh my goodness 😲 Thank you so much to everyone on the Garden Answer team for featuring my before and after of my garden shed. 🥰 These videos are very inspirational and I absolutely love watching everyone's transformations. It doesn't need to be expensive either, almost all the plants I use are either clearance finds or properagated at my house. Thank you to everyone that has submitted, I absolutely love gaining so many ideas from the beauty everyone has created. Happy gardening y'all 🌻
This Before and After Series touches my soul with hope! Seeing yards go from "blehh" to "Yeah" is so very inspiring! Best part is Laura's intake of breath and gushing praise for each yard! Laura, we are sighing with appreciation right along with you! Well done, gardeners!
You just don’t know how much happiness your channel brings everyone especially during the last 2 years. The world is a prettier place with happy plants and humans! Thank you
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE THIS A WINTER TRADITION! I love these: the before/after, side yard, the pots, the greenhouses - all of them. MORE!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Heck- all year round!!! We all love it so much and it can take some pressure off of them (to some degree- I’m sure it’s no small feet to go through these submissions and make these). So inspiring tho.. year round I say!!!! 😊♥️
What can I say about all of these gardens? Absolutely gorgeous. It is like bringing a piece of heaven down unto the earth. I have been gardening for about 20 years maybe. There was a space of time I didn't, due to illness, but I am back at it again. Doing the same as these wonderful people have, transforming my space into a heaven. I am not a young person, I am 63 almost, but I can hang with the best of them. I have shale and clay everywhere. But I get at it and work my butt off. I'll never stop gardening. It is my passion. I love the beauty of nature.
Thank you for featuring my garden. I’m so happy that you got to see it, Laura, because it is mainly thanks to your videos that it looks the way it does. I was actually blushing when watching it, it felt like an aprentice showing off their work to their master.🤗 Ellie
They have really inspired so many to pick up a shovel and plant!! You did an amazing job & im pretty sure it brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for sharing!
@@MarianneRuffhaven yes, she was a keen gsrdener when she was younger, always transplanting plants 😂 she’s 11 now so now she just rekaxes in the garden 😉
@@kathycamasso6672 thank you., she is the best. It’s my first dog and I couldn’t have chosen a more suitable dog for my personality. 11 years together 😍.
Good morning, Laura. I love how you just jump right in; no intro to skip past. These before & afters are so helpful! I love this idea! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I agree. I love how Laura jumps right to the content. No need to tell us what "today's episode" is about.... (it's written in the description). I have even unsubscribed from so many you tube channels because they have intros so long and it is clear the creators think they are a popular TV personality. Intros like that are a huge turn-off.
Laura, your enthusiasm and excitement when looking at all these beautiful spaces, make us all feel proud of the afters even if they are not our yards. Thank you for offering these videos and encouraging us to continue to "enjoy our journey"♡
The statement, "I learned that being a gross hot mess, working in the garden, is where I find joy", has me in tears. That is my joy - especially the last 2 years when the world and my personal life were falling apart. I found "Laura, my Best Friend on TH-cam" last year and have learned more than just gardening from her. Thank You!
Thank you so much Laura and Aaron for featuring my garden in Virginia! I was on the treadmill and screamed when you said my name! 😂 Seriously, I absolutely LOVE these Before and Afters! I get so much inspiration from seeing other people’s gardens, their challenges and solutions! Please continue to do these types of videos! I’ve been watching y’all since you moved in to your home and have learned so much from you Laura! Love y’all!❤️
It is great to watch these videos when so many of us are still looking out at our own gardens full of snow. I hope Laura posts many more of these before and after videos to help us survive February and March.
Greetings Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 I'm enjoying each and every renovation. Inspiration for a February day. I hope you ALL enjoy this as much as I am. 👩🌾👍🌿💚🌿
I wish we can have this monthly you could even feature it on the the recap channel. It would be a way to see when people started watching and what they learned from you and how their yards grew from watching. What you guys think?
I like how you include the zones because that way I know if plants can grow in my zone. James terraced garden is so beautiful. He should be very proud of their hard work. Ellie's garden looked like it had always been there. I love to see the before and after. We take a trip around the world with the other two gardens, fantastic. Shout out to Las Vegas because that is mind blowing. To make everything so green and lush in the dessert is a feat of excellent gardening. The next one changes the look of the house. Small beds compared to the other gardens but oh so nice. The black garden green house and yard is so awesome. Go Katie with those beautiful hydrangea's. Kelly made privacy in a very open housing backyard neighborhood. So nice and lush. Dee' has a sweet shed. Connie's garden with the raised bed is something I would like to copy but smaller scale. Chris and the swimming pool's a nice addition for a Texan home. Nick's hardscape is awesome. Mickie has a very inviting walk to her door. So cute. Margie's water feature is massive and awesome. Thanks for sharing gardener's.
All of these are so beautiful. So much variety and styles. Of course wide ranging locations and zones. But it just goes to show, there are choices to be had in just about any conditions. So much thought, creativity, and not to mention hard work have gone into these spaces. Good job people! 💚💚💚
Yessss keep doing these! With all the niches too, side yards, veggie gardens, memory gardens, greenhouses, water features landscaped out, WE WANT TO SEE ALL OF IT. Lol. its really inspirational. Love love love
I love these videos. I'm sitting here so excited to get out in my garden again. Some of the gardens brought tears to my eyes. To see all the hard work that went into them. I'm glad we were able to see them. To all the gardeners.... I'm so proud of you all.
I am so impressed and inspired by all my fellow GA fans and their creations. There is nothing like human creativity and ingenuity! Thank you for bringing us all together, and for everything you do. I think it's really awesome that you are shouting out their gardening channels too, we have an endless supply of inspiration now! 🤩
These videos feed my soul. We are doing a complete makeover of our back yard this spring/summer and I can't wait to get started. The yard where they planted a birch for water control was a light bulb moment because I have issues with water laying and ruining my grass as well.
❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ love!!! I cried just so emotional for some reason! Each space is done so beautifully - I'm in the process, coming into my third season - it definitely is a journey and we are so blessed to be able to create these gorgeous sanctuaries! Thanks to Laura and Aaron, their continued inspiration is priceless!!!😁👏❤️
Oh my gosh! I'm so excited you chose my front landscape to include in this video. I can't wipe the smile off my face. It feels like I just graduated from gardening school. Now it's time to go earn my gardening masters this season, as I continue to rework my backyard. Everyone's work in all of these videos is amazing and so inspiring.
Congrats. I felt the same when Laura chose mine. I said to my family: “today I won my olympic medal” 😁 becasuse there’s just nothing more satisfying, this is the top 👍🏻
Does anyone want to go redo their yard right now or just me ....aww so much beauty!!!! Aww, so beautiful! Such a great job everyone! Love the before and after! Stunning! Thank you for doing this Laura....what a great inspiration! Bravo everyone!!!!😍😍❤
This whole series is inspiring. It's the perfect contrasting between normal and the results of people's huge labour of love. The amazing transformation make it easier to imagine what even a small effort might be able to enrich a space.
isn't this just the most fun and inspirational? holy moly! there are some talented designers/landscapers (professionally degree'd or not!) and gardeners out there! so many gorgeous transformations, big and small! thank you to all who sent in pics - wow... gardeners, making the world beautiful one space at a time, fabulous!!! 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video!! 🙂 ❤
I love love love the before and after episodes!💞 It shows us all that even people that didn't want anything to do with gardening, can produce a worthy mention on Garden Answer!🤗🥰 I still want more inside your home redecorating! I love seeing the beautiful architecture of your old home. They sure don't build beautiful coved ceilings, unique fireplace fronts, butler pantries, etc like they did in the 1800 to early 1900's. Now we have cookie cutter houses.🥺
LoVE this series & Stephanie Dobbs hit the nail on the head with the title of: "LETS IMPRESS THE TEACHER" Stephanie that is BRILLIANT!!!! I screenshot a lot of the entries - my favorite is the White House/White Designer deck with that charming back yard.............the Birch trees got me at once!!!
These series are so inspirational. Thank you to all who shared and to Laura who spoke so encouragingly about each garden. 💚💚💚. It truly was a 💝 gift to each of us !!😘
I love these videos! It's so neat to see how someone can start with practically nothing and then turn it into something so beautiful that you want to be there sitting with them. Thanks for all you've taught us Laura. You are a big inspiration.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these before and after! What an excellent idea for the “dead” of winter went there is little going on outside for most of us. Please continue the trend! 💚💚💚
This is so wonderful to see what others have been able to accomplish! And to see these at this time of year especially when we are all thinking about what we want to focus on in the next growing season. Laura and Aaron, thank you for always finding ways of teaching and inspiring this community. Many, many people (myself included) have taken up gardening after finding your channel and we all feel like we can make beautiful spaces for ourselves.
Hi Laura, I absolutely love the before and after, so appreciate you showing these...all the hard work on editing doesn't go unnoticed! I don't always comment, but I have to say, your channel is just so wonderful, positive and very inspirational...really good for the soul! Thank you so much for sharing! Take really good care of yourself, stay well! Much love Kathy x 💖🌿🌺🌼🌷🌺🌻😊Ontario, Canada)
Shout out to James in my home province! Looks fantastic!!! I moved to west coast zone 8b in 2007. Miss home, not weather! We have a similar slope in our yard, definitely can utilize more space terracing.
That was absolutely amazing! Makes you want to run outside and think about what you could do with your own space. So motivating! You guys have cultivated such a wonderful community of gardeners. Thanks so much for sharing all these beautiful gardens.
Not letting Laura see the pictures before the video is the best idea ever. I am LIVING for her reactions. I took so many screenshots this round. Gardening is definitely a lesson in patience.
I have a bit of a handicap. When I retired my husband and I bought a house on what turned out to be a hilly property that was hard to mow, so, I channeled my inner Laura and started ripping up grass to make a more private place! My neighbors must laugh watching me as standing is hard, but boy it is totally worth it! Every year my kids give me garden $ for mother's day. I am 3 years in and love your podcast for inspiration! Thanks!!❤
2017 I found your channel and my life changed forever . After been in a depression for years gardenning bring me happiness thanks to You Laura. May God bless you and bless your family . This video is the proof how you inspired us to make our own beautiful garden in our yards Blessings. Beautiful gardens
Love love love the entirety of the “viewers submission” series. THANK YOU for all of the hard work that goes into them! This is exactly the kind of content I’ve been missing since Pinterest turned into an ad ridden promo app.
The Las Vegas before & after was absolutely mind boggling! Also one of the first yards was a long narrow nothing of a yard. The narrow, curving, stuffed side “strips” gave amazing definition to the whole yard.
Seeing these wonderful before and after shots gives us hope for the future of our skinny little gardens. Now with my wife hearing she has incurable cancer makes me want to bring in whole already grown plants. Thank you all for sharing your beautiful gardens❤️💙
WOW! This video in particular had amazing gardens. I'm so impressed with what everyone was able to do! Especially looking at what they started with... And as an animal advocate, I have to say, that I loved that almost every gardener had a dog following them around... :-)
So inspiring to see what someone in the same zone as me created...I took screen shots and hopefully will be able to find some of those plants 🪴. Beautiful job everyone!! Thank you 😊
Wow! All these before and afters are amazing! I really have loved this series and have been so inspired. I cannot wait until spring to get out and start transforming my yard!
Laura I could watch this for hours! I am starting my journey as a new gardener because of you and tomorrow I am going to get lots of before shots. Thanks for everything you and your family do to help us realize our dreams. God bless.
This before and after series is incredible. It's the perfect winter content for me--I've screenshotted so many parts to use as inspo since I'm currently planning out my garden projects for the year. I can't wait for spring to get started!
Love these before and after videos. 😍 So inspiring to see how much a yard can be changed if you're willing to put in the investment of time, effort, and in some cases, lots of money.
All the hard work these folks put in. They are all beautiful. I would say that you are very successful in the challenge given to you by Proven Winners to inspire more people to garden. You sure have inspired me. Thank you and Aaron for creating this wonderful channel.
The transformation of the Garden in Czech Republic is just awesome. The curves of the flower beds makes the garden look bigger than it actually is. We can't relate to the various zones here in Kenya, but viewing your channel has enriched my knowledge in gardening. Hope to get a nice and mature garden as the ones showcased one day. Thank you for the inspiration and reminding us that it is a process and we need to be patient to realize such beautiful gardens.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your "Inspiration Series". You can just feel the love reflected back from you Laura. You are truly a gardeners best friend. Keep up all the hardwork. Thanks for being there for us.
@@fiore2151 we’ve gotten our hands on a small allotment garden so there is already some structures there. But i think we will mainly go with directly into the ground (soil is quite good if adding some compost). We live a bit away from the spot and no way to do drip irrigation so maybe not many beds since they dry out faster. Since we have limited of time i’m thinking about some ”no dig” beds using lots of organic materials. In this space function and productivity will be the main focus, in the future it would be nice to do something more structured with beds. What are your plans? 😍🤩
@@fridaandren5097 Sounds like a good plan! I am located in the capital city of Bulgaria (Eastern Europe) but I live near the city in a house. Unfortunately the previous owners didn’t look after the soil and garden in general and in order to cut expenses I plan to start with raised beds so I can adjust and enrich the soil to my needs. Also digging will be veery hard since the soil was never maintained and processed before. Hope it works 🤞🏻
@@fridaandren5097 is there any shed on property? You can do drip irrigation if you collect rainwater in barrels.. Have some high plants, flowers or vegetables, around barrell if it is made of plastic. 👍
I absolutely adore seeing all of the before and after pictures! People are so creative and amazing with their ideas! Please show something like this once a week. I watched it twice it was so awesome.
I so enjoy the ‘Before and After’ series … I just add coffee and a treat, put in the earbuds and put on the ‘Do Not Disturb Look’, start the video and in moments I am fixated on the transformation gardens. Thank you.
Aaron and Laura, you have done such a great job. Not only it is an inspirational topic . But the great cut , edit and your comments, plus the speed of talking. Full of information in shortest possible time. Thank you.
All of these were so inspirational. My husband and I just bought our first home in Dec and once we finish renovating it, I can't wait to really go ham on the landscape!!
I love this series! I would love to see a winter landscaping/winter interest episode for us poor souls who only see snow for 5-6 months out of the year.
I want to hang out in all of these gardens! They are all so beautiful! I love, love, love what Nick did in Athens, Wisconsin! The board and batten siding on the house is absolutely gorgeous and the garden is stunning too! I love Jennifer's cape cod house in Albany, NY too. It proves that you don't have to do a massive remodel to make such a huge improvement to your property. Laura, you and Aaron have truly given us so much inspiration and encouragement! Love this series of videos!!!❤❤❤
I really thought that watching Laura in her own garden or her moms was enough to feed my garden loving passions but these inspiring photos take me to a whole new level of love! I normally get bummed about gardening from November until late March but now I am sooo ready!!! Thank you for making this type of content on top of your already amazing “routine” content!! I’ve watched you since around the day you moved to your new home and I never get tired of your show.
I love these before and after videos. I do hope they will become an annual event. Those of us just beginning would love to submit our efforts in the future. You are such an inspiration and your channel has become an oasis for me.
I really loved seeing these before and after photos and hearing each garden's story and where in the world they are located. It is so interesting and inspiring. Perhaps this could be a regular segment called "Show-N-Tell"
So enjoyed this, thank you everyone for sending them in and thank you Laura for talking us through them! Well done everyone for creating these beautiful spaces!
So great to see what other’s do with their space. Just goes to show you never know what people have done to their backyard. All so beautiful to see and wonderful ideas.
Yes please do more of these it's so much fun to see other people's garden's and I enjoy how you enjoy it too and always make each person's garden feel special...because they are but to hear the joy and encouragement you give has to bless them especially because we know you mean what ever you say. You are so kind .❤
I love the side yards pictures! We in zone 9b (New Orleans) area can’t plant right up to the house; it’s recommended to leave 3 ft before planting, this is because of termites. I was wondering if the other viewers hav3 had termite problems because of planting so close to the house that you can’t see the termite tunnels. Thank you Laura & Arron!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these transformation videos that let us peep into the gardens of fellow viewers. So glad the submissions include specific information, and SO GLAD for your commentary which often helps me see more and learn some design concepts from you. Thanks for everyone who submitted their photos, and thanks for all the time it takes you to compose these fantastic videos. MORE, PLEASE!
I absolutely love these before and after home garden transformations. It's fun to see how other gardeners tackle difficult or neglected areas in their unique landscapes. Thank you, Laura and Aaron, for sharing these lovingly transformed gardens.
I love seeing these lush green gardens at this time of year. I cannot wait to get back out in my own garden and these videos help. Thank you Laura and Aaron.
I love these before and after photos. The Albany New York home left me breathless with the Limelight and little Lime hydrangeas in the front. So pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Laura, I was so happy to catch this video. All the hard work and creativity the gardeners have put into their yards was amazing! I felt so relaxed and delighted after this ended and am hoping you will do it again soon. Clearly you have touched many folks around the world ~ isn't it thrilling? Go Laura!!
What astounding transformations! Really great to see all of these, makes one want to jump into those difficult spots and just go for it!! Great video too!
Laura, you and Aaron have a hit with these "before and after" series! This is the perfect content for winter! It lifts our spirits and gives us inspiration and encouragement that we can create something beautiful from whatever we're starting with. Thank you so much for all you do to inspire and educate us, and thank you to everyone who submitted photos of their beautiful projects. 💚 🌿🌸🌿
Couldn’t agree more, it’s necessary especially as we are about to spring into SPRING
I third this sentiment! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more of these!

Great suggestions!👏🍀🤩
Perhaps an annual January event? Agree, such a joy in wintertime to see gardens before and after!
Please keep sharing followers before and afters. So much fun to see. What an inspiration to see. Just subscribed today.
This is fun. It’s like a world wide LETS IMPRESS THE TEACHER show!! We all appreciate you, and all you’ve taught us Laura!

I am so impressed and inspired by all my fellow GA fans and their creations. There is nothing like human creativity and ingenuity! Thank you for bringing us all together, and for everything you do. I think it's really awesome that you are shouting out their gardening channels too, we have an endless supply of inspiration now! 🤩
Absolutely agree
Honestly, I'm teary eyed just looking at these gorgeous gardens. The before & after's are incredible.
These videos feed my soul. We are doing a complete makeover of our back yard this spring/summer and I can't wait to get started. The yard where they planted a birch for water control was a light bulb moment because I have issues with water laying and ruining my grass as well.
There must be many more plants help control the water problem. Thank goodness for Google.
Yes pink willow is gorgeous too
❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ love!!! I cried just so emotional for some reason! Each space is done so beautifully - I'm in the process, coming into my third season - it definitely is a journey and we are so blessed to be able to create these gorgeous sanctuaries! Thanks to Laura and Aaron, their continued inspiration is priceless!!!😁👏❤️
Girl… I cried too!! I couldn’t help myself!! 😊♥️
I wouldn’t mind hours of these before&after videos! They are so much fun!
right all their videos are such an easy watch! when its the end im like "what?!" haha
Oh my gosh! I'm so excited you chose my front landscape to include in this video. I can't wipe the smile off my face. It feels like I just graduated from gardening school. Now it's time to go earn my gardening masters this season, as I continue to rework my backyard. Everyone's work in all of these videos is amazing and so inspiring.
Congratulations!!!!
Congrats. 👍
Congrats. I felt the same when Laura chose mine. I said to my family: “today I won my olympic medal” 😁 becasuse there’s just nothing more satisfying, this is the top 👍🏻
@@aksileb Congrats to you too! I love what you did with your space, it is gorgeous, and your dog is beautiful.
Does anyone want to go redo their yard right now or just me ....aww so much beauty!!!!
Aww, so beautiful! Such a great job everyone! Love the before and after! Stunning! Thank you for doing this Laura....what a great inspiration! Bravo everyone!!!!😍😍❤
These photos are SO INSPIRING!!!! Well done, fellow gardeners!!!
This whole series is inspiring. It's the perfect contrasting between normal and the results of people's huge labour of love. The amazing transformation make it easier to imagine what even a small effort might be able to enrich a space.
isn't this just the most fun and inspirational? holy moly! there are some talented designers/landscapers (professionally degree'd or not!) and gardeners out there! so many gorgeous transformations, big and small! thank you to all who sent in pics - wow... gardeners, making the world beautiful one space at a time, fabulous!!! 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video!! 🙂 ❤
I love love love the before and after episodes!💞
It shows us all that even people that didn't want anything to do with gardening, can produce a worthy mention on Garden Answer!🤗🥰
I still want more inside your home redecorating! I love seeing the beautiful architecture of your old home. They sure don't build beautiful coved ceilings, unique fireplace fronts, butler pantries, etc like they did in the 1800 to early 1900's. Now we have cookie cutter houses.🥺
LoVE this series & Stephanie Dobbs hit the nail on the head with the title of: "LETS IMPRESS THE TEACHER" Stephanie that is BRILLIANT!!!! I screenshot a lot of the entries - my favorite is the White House/White Designer deck with that charming back yard.............the Birch trees got me at once!!!
These series are so inspirational. Thank you to all who shared and to Laura who spoke so encouragingly about each garden. 💚💚💚. It truly was a 💝 gift to each of us !!😘
I love these videos! It's so neat to see how someone can start with practically nothing and then turn it into something so beautiful that you want to be there sitting with them. Thanks for all you've taught us Laura. You are a big inspiration.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these before and after! What an excellent idea for the “dead” of winter went there is little going on outside for most of us. Please continue the trend! 💚💚💚
This is so wonderful to see what others have been able to accomplish! And to see these at this time of year especially when we are all thinking about what we want to focus on in the next growing season. Laura and Aaron, thank you for always finding ways of teaching and inspiring this community. Many, many people (myself included) have taken up gardening after finding your channel and we all feel like we can make beautiful spaces for ourselves.
Hi Laura, I absolutely love the before and after, so appreciate you showing these...all the hard work on editing doesn't go unnoticed! I don't always comment, but I have to say, your channel is just so wonderful, positive and very inspirational...really good for the soul! Thank you so much for sharing! Take really good care of yourself, stay well! Much love Kathy x 💖🌿🌺🌼🌷🌺🌻😊Ontario, Canada)
Shout out to James in my home province! Looks fantastic!!! I moved to west coast zone 8b in 2007. Miss home, not weather! We have a similar slope in our yard, definitely can utilize more space terracing.
That was absolutely amazing! Makes you want to run outside and think about what you could do with your own space. So motivating! You guys have cultivated such a wonderful community of gardeners. Thanks so much for sharing all these beautiful gardens.
Not letting Laura see the pictures before the video is the best idea ever. I am LIVING for her reactions. I took so many screenshots this round. Gardening is definitely a lesson in patience.
I have a bit of a handicap. When I retired my husband and I bought a house on what turned out to be a hilly property that was hard to mow, so, I channeled my inner Laura and started ripping up grass to make a more private place! My neighbors must laugh watching me as standing is hard, but boy it is totally worth it! Every year my kids give me garden $ for mother's day. I am 3 years in and love your podcast for inspiration! Thanks!!❤
It is wonderful to see the gardening talent and imagination people have for their personal space. Every garden was beautiful!
2017 I found your channel and my life changed forever . After been in a depression for years gardenning bring me happiness thanks to You Laura.
May God bless you and bless your family . This video is the proof how you inspired us to make our own beautiful garden in our yards
Blessings. Beautiful gardens
Love love love the entirety of the “viewers submission” series. THANK YOU for all of the hard work that goes into them! This is exactly the kind of content I’ve been missing since Pinterest turned into an ad ridden promo app.
This whole series has me motivated to take more photos of my garden this year!
The Las Vegas before & after was absolutely mind boggling! Also one of the first yards was a long narrow nothing of a yard. The narrow, curving, stuffed side “strips” gave amazing definition to the whole yard.
Seeing these wonderful before and after shots gives us hope for the future of our skinny little gardens. Now with my wife hearing she has incurable cancer makes me want to bring in whole already grown plants. Thank you all for sharing your beautiful gardens❤️💙
Go for it. 👍
I am loving this new series on seeing how others upgrade their space even more inspiring
What beautiful gardens! A lot of love and hours of hard work went into each one. How proud they must be!
WOW! This video in particular had amazing gardens. I'm so impressed with what everyone was able to do! Especially looking at what they started with... And as an animal advocate, I have to say, that I loved that almost every gardener had a dog following them around... :-)
So inspiring to see what someone in the same zone as me created...I took screen shots and hopefully will be able to find some of those plants 🪴. Beautiful job everyone!! Thank you 😊
Wow! All these before and afters are amazing! I really have loved this series and have been so inspired. I cannot wait until spring to get out and start transforming my yard!
I'm Slovak, 100%, born in Scottsdale AZ. My o my isn't that Czech Republic backyard & garden incredible. Absolutely love it! ❤️
Laura I could watch this for hours! I am starting my journey as a new gardener because of you and tomorrow I am going to get lots of before shots. Thanks for everything you and your family do to help us realize our dreams. God bless.
This before and after series is incredible. It's the perfect winter content for me--I've screenshotted so many parts to use as inspo since I'm currently planning out my garden projects for the year. I can't wait for spring to get started!
Love these before and after videos. 😍
So inspiring to see how much a yard can be changed if you're willing to put in the investment of time, effort, and in some cases, lots of money.
Some of these gardens brought tears to my eyes ! What beautiful inspiration ❤️ Thank you Laura for showing us the way!,
Same!!! I cried. I did. 😊♥️
All the hard work these folks put in. They are all beautiful. I would say that you are very successful in the challenge given to you by Proven Winners to inspire more people to garden. You sure have inspired me. Thank you and Aaron for creating this wonderful channel.
🙌🏼♥️
The transformation of the Garden in Czech Republic is just awesome. The curves of the flower beds makes the garden look bigger than it actually is. We can't relate to the various zones here in Kenya, but viewing your channel has enriched my knowledge in gardening. Hope to get a nice and mature garden as the ones showcased one day.
Thank you for the inspiration and reminding us that it is a process and we need to be patient to realize such beautiful gardens.
Thank you - that was my aim, no straight lines 😉
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your "Inspiration Series". You can just feel the love reflected back from you Laura. You are truly a gardeners best friend. Keep up all the hardwork. Thanks for being there for us.
Hello 👋 Shannon, how are you doing?
I love seeing what other home owners have done with their yards. The creativity is amazing.
I love this series! I plan to start a small vegetable garden this year and Garden Answer will be my guide through this challenge 🤞🏻🤩
Same here! 🙋♀️😍
@@fridaandren5097 awesome! Do you plan on raised beds or will plant directly in soil?
@@fiore2151 we’ve gotten our hands on a small allotment garden so there is already some structures there. But i think we will mainly go with directly into the ground (soil is quite good if adding some compost). We live a bit away from the spot and no way to do drip irrigation so maybe not many beds since they dry out faster. Since we have limited of time i’m thinking about some ”no dig” beds using lots of organic materials. In this space function and productivity will be the main focus, in the future it would be nice to do something more structured with beds. What are your plans? 😍🤩
@@fridaandren5097 Sounds like a good plan! I am located in the capital city of Bulgaria (Eastern Europe) but I live near the city in a house. Unfortunately the previous owners didn’t look after the soil and garden in general and in order to cut expenses I plan to start with raised beds so I can adjust and enrich the soil to my needs. Also digging will be veery hard since the soil was never maintained and processed before. Hope it works 🤞🏻
@@fridaandren5097 is there any shed on property? You can do drip irrigation if you collect rainwater in barrels.. Have some high plants, flowers or vegetables, around barrell if it is made of plastic. 👍
So inspiring and encouraging to see these different gardens. Gives so many of us hope and courage to step out and get started. 🌸
I absolutely adore seeing all of the before and after pictures! People are so creative and amazing with their ideas! Please show something like this once a week. I watched it twice it was so awesome.
I so enjoy the ‘Before and After’ series … I just add coffee and a treat, put in the earbuds and put on the ‘Do Not Disturb Look’, start the video and in moments I am fixated on the transformation gardens. Thank you.
Aaron and Laura, you have done such a great job. Not only it is an inspirational topic . But the great cut , edit and your comments, plus the speed of talking. Full of information in shortest possible time. Thank you.
You all have beautiful gardens! This year I'm finally getting serious about my garden. These videos really give inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
All of these were so inspirational. My husband and I just bought our first home in Dec and once we finish renovating it, I can't wait to really go ham on the landscape!!
Good luck to you and your hubby as you transform your space !
These videos are so inspiring, Laura! Thank you for this series of videos.
I love this series! I would love to see a winter landscaping/winter interest episode for us poor souls who only see snow for 5-6 months out of the year.
I want to hang out in all of these gardens! They are all so beautiful! I love, love, love what Nick did in Athens, Wisconsin! The board and batten siding on the house is absolutely gorgeous and the garden is stunning too! I love Jennifer's cape cod house in Albany, NY too. It proves that you don't have to do a massive remodel to make such a huge improvement to your property. Laura, you and Aaron have truly given us so much inspiration and encouragement! Love this series of videos!!!❤❤❤
Yay! 👏🏻 Just love seeing everyone’s beautiful gardens. Such inspiration 💕
Gardening = improvements every single year= the journey
I really thought that watching Laura in her own garden or her moms was enough to feed my garden loving passions but these inspiring photos take me to a whole new level of love! I normally get bummed about gardening from November until late March but now I am sooo ready!!! Thank you for making this type of content on top of your already amazing “routine” content!! I’ve watched you since around the day you moved to your new home and I never get tired of your show.
I love these before and after videos. I do hope they will become an annual event. Those of us just beginning would love to submit our efforts in the future. You are such an inspiration and your channel has become an oasis for me.
All of the yards are absolutely beautiful.
I really loved seeing these before and after photos and hearing each garden's story and where in the world they are located. It is so interesting and inspiring. Perhaps this could be a regular segment called "Show-N-Tell"
You pronounced Puyallup perfectly. So enjoyed the viewers pictures. I love to see the transformation from ho-hum to dazzling.
I'm in love with your "before and after" series. Please do more. Such great inspiration for all of us!!!
So enjoyed this, thank you everyone for sending them in and thank you Laura for talking us through them! Well done everyone for creating these beautiful spaces!
So great to see what other’s do with their space. Just goes to show you never know what people have done to their backyard. All so beautiful to see and wonderful ideas.
Yes please do more of these it's so much fun to see other people's garden's and I enjoy how you enjoy it too and always make each person's garden feel special...because they are but to hear the joy and encouragement you give has to bless them especially because we know you mean what ever you say. You are so kind .❤
Everyone has the cutest dogs in all their afters !
Love this series, whatever you call it!!! Especially love seeing the before and afters in different climates!
Hi 👋 what a lovely comment 😊
I love the side yards pictures! We in zone 9b (New Orleans) area can’t plant right up to the house; it’s recommended to leave 3 ft before planting, this is because of termites. I was wondering if the other viewers hav3 had termite problems because of planting so close to the house that you can’t see the termite tunnels. Thank you Laura & Arron!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these transformation videos that let us peep into the gardens of fellow viewers. So glad the submissions include specific information, and SO GLAD for your commentary which often helps me see more and learn some design concepts from you. Thanks for everyone who submitted their photos, and thanks for all the time it takes you to compose these fantastic videos. MORE, PLEASE!
I absolutely love these before and after home garden transformations. It's fun to see how other gardeners tackle difficult or neglected areas in their unique landscapes. Thank you, Laura and Aaron, for sharing these lovingly transformed gardens.
I love seeing these lush green gardens at this time of year. I cannot wait to get back out in my own garden and these videos help. Thank you Laura and Aaron.
This series is awesome. It is so nice to see how people have transformed their outdoor space. It inspires so many of us. Thank you Laura and Aaron.
I love these before and after photos. The Albany New York home left me breathless with the Limelight and little Lime hydrangeas in the front. So pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Laura, I was so happy to catch this video. All the hard work and creativity the gardeners have put into their yards was amazing! I felt so relaxed and delighted after this ended and am hoping you will do it again soon. Clearly you have touched many folks around the world ~ isn't it thrilling? Go Laura!!
OH.MY.GOD. Fav video of these kind. These gardeners blew my mind!! Love them!!!!!!!!
Man, people are AMAZING. I wish I had the time, money, and energy to do transformations like this. 😭
I adore before and afters! But what really is helpful is having the people's narrative, also!
What astounding transformations! Really great to see all of these, makes one want to jump into those difficult spots and just go for it!! Great video too!
Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?
