You can buy brackets and accessories for play structures at the big box stores ( just add your own wood). We’ve had three types of play structures and the one we built ourselves was the sturdiest with the accessories the kids liked the most. I highly recommend doing that. I like the space you showed for it. You can see it from the house, yet having the trees around probably will give a feeling of privacy and shade/wind block for kids playing.
Coffee in hand, cozy in bed! Long garden tours are my ABSOLUTE favorite! Even though they still they go by so fast. I know you worry about the videos being too long but I really think your audience would be more than happy to watch a long TH-cam live or even just a super long tour with time to see all the little details. Can’t wait to see Fall and Christmas. You both just blow me away with your talent and hard work! Thank you again for all you do!
I second this all!
Same I love these too! 😊
I agree, please take your time. I love these tours.
Ur a super mom..
Money money,,●●●●●
Benjamin is a darling. Seeing him here ....and this morning in his older confident self. 🌟🌟. Brought tears, Precious Boy ! 🤗❤️
I had rather watch you talk about plants than any other thing on TV , youtube etc. It just makes me happy and floods my mind with such great ideas!
If you like her I think you should check out Katie Brown as well she's pretty cool
I love the long garden tours!! When you said, "Maybe we'll just end right here" my thought was "No!!! Wait...did she say "bonus footage?! Yes!"
It's always fun to see Benjamin and Russell join you. 👶🏻😸 I think Benjamin's first word will be "supertunia." 😉 It's such a pleasure to tour your gorgeous gardens and see the results of all of your hard work. 👏 to you and Aaron. #teamgardenanswer
Me, too, for sure!
Beach Seeker
Or, his first words will be, "So pretty!" 😆
Or "these ones" lol
You and Aaron work so hard to make the garden look so beautiful. Great job! It’s great to see baby Benjamin and Russell enjoying the garden along side you and your husband.God bless your beautiful family.
💕🌻 Beautiful garden tour!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 💕🌻 Also the extra bonus of seeing your son Benjamin was a nice surprise. 💕🌻
So fun to see Benjamin at this age. He has grown so much.
Love, love, love these tours. I so enjoy seeing how beautiful it is turning out for y'all. Guilty, I'm a Texans born and bred. I had a wooden swing & climbing set that was awesome for my brood (5- 4 boys & a girl) & yes she was the second oldest so she ran the show & still does. LOL But back to the swing set they loved it. Robert could keep it fixed & plus he added stuff like a climbing net & then later a climbing wall, a fort or a tea house for our girl. Then back into a fort for the boys again. Our grand kids still played on it & now the great-grand babies are all most big enough for it. Just good maintenance on it. We started with grass, that turned into mud puddles. Then we went with play sand & that was pretty good, no really bad falls or broken bones. But now we are putting down that rubber mulch my kids told us about. So we will see. But I think you chose a great spot. Line of sight is crucial with boys. They are so curious about things. My second oldest boy loved to take things apart. That was a learning curve I could have done without. It cost us a pretty penny to have the fire department & the gas company come out and evacuate our block & for the gas company to reassemble the gas meter that Jason took apart when he was 6 years old. They were NOT happy at all. Jason kept asking to help put it back together. The gas guy's were not happy. I took him over to my mom's place. Kept me hopping those boys. Oh the story's we have that we can laugh at now are priceless. God's little blessing all of them. Enjoy every day & just know how very much joy he will bring into your life. Treasure it, because you will turn around & he will be grown. So be present for all those moments, enjoy them & always, always enjoy every why! There will be a million of them so be ready. Lol Thank you for letting us into you life & home. We love watching every thing grow, Benjamin also.
Xoxoxo!
The marooned coleus and lemon coral sedum are my favourite combination. Wow, those colors!
My favorite color combo too.
I am from Romania,a small country in Europe and i am watching you every time.
You have a beautiful garden,very nice design!!
I wish there’s was a heart ❤️ sign instead of just a thumbs up. It took me a while to get thru the video because I was making a list of what to buy for next year, I’m so excited. And always love seeing both your babies. Thank you for the video.
I second that!
My first time visiting your site-I feel like I've found a kindred spirit with a whole COMMUNITY to boot!!! I devoured the comments, too, and would say YES, please do a fountain video. We've just started building our retirement cottage on an upper ridge of our property, so I've got a BLANK SLATE. Not quite your zone-we're 7b in upstate SC, but just watching 2 of your vids so far, you've given me TONS of ideas. And sweetie, I'm a Laura, too!!
So sorry that rambled on so. Seeing your little one brings back so many memories of mine. But enjoy everything you do. Love the videos. Enjoy all of y'all. Thank you so much.
I love that you show the progress in the garden! I think it helps everyone to see how things mature throughout the season. I KNOW it helps me lol. I have so many plans for my garden next year because of your videos! Thank you ! Your gardens are stunning ! And I love seeing Benjamin! I think the spot you chose for his play set is perfect. You will be able to sit in the gazebo and watch him play as he gets older.
Thank your husband for filming you. Very much appreciate your videos.
He really does a great job of showing us what the area looks like and also does closeups on the plants. Always steady.
I am addicted to watching this girl!! She reminds me of my green-thumb college roommate, who moved to Anchorage right after college (as a Forestry major) and wins "garden" contests in magazines. My garden consists of a fire escape outside a New York City apartment. I would love to have a house like that...but not sure I have the patience. Came to her site due to bud worms in my petunias... LOVE this channel!!
It's so nice to see Benjamin out and about😍 he's a busy boy and he will be enjoying such a great beautiful yard😍 melts my heart!
Gorgeous gardens Laura!!!! It's very satisfying seeing all of your hard work paying off. Benjamin is so adorable! Please give him an extra squeeze and kiss his baby feet for me. I hope you will be able to keep up with your gardening once he starts walking on his own! God bless you and your beautiful family, as you've been such a blessing to me.
Best mornings ever when I see Garden Answer has a new video up, especially a garden tour, doesn't get any better, I'm so amazed at how fast your plants look mature, everywhere you look is just so Gorgeous.!! You should check out the play sets at Lowe's, my daughter has a really nice wooden set from there, and maybe look into rubber mulch so there aren't any ouchies.
Yes, amen!
I love it when Benjamin makes an appearance. He seemed to be listening to everything you were saying. Your gardens look beautiful.
Bonus footage was soooo precious! I always love a Benjamin and Russell sighting! ❤️❤️
Laura, you should hear me talking to my ma and best friend. I can give them advice about anything in the garden. Even the ladies at work ask me garden questions. You teach us so much. How can I ever thank you? God bless you, Aaron and Baby Ben.
Everything is still looking so beautiful. And I loved seeing Benjamin. So fun seeing him join in with you.
Coming back a few years later and WOW does the barn look so much better with the upgrades
Oh so beautiful! All of your hard work is really paying off. And thanks so much for the addendum, loved seeing Benjamin, so big and strong and rarin’ to go! Clearly he and Russell will be the very best of friends. Thanks so much for letting us peek into your family life as well as your lovely garden.
Hey Laura, one word for your garden - SPECTACULAR! It's like watching fireworks. Every area is more glorious than the next. Its so cool cause I remember some of those areas when you originally planted them. Wow!
I too love long garden tours, especially when they are as beautiful as yours. So much hard work both in the garden and behind the camera!!Yes...share with us fixing the fountain. Benjamin looks SO cute!!!
Awwwww.....the last part was the best with Benjamin. ....seems like he was like "leave me & I will run" soooooo cute 😙
Your husband is a great filmer. It feels like we are there with you.
Morning glories drive me insane with how they take over! Just pulled out even more from my own garden for the 4th time this year. So invasive. Your garden looks so beautiful! Happy to see someone that loves choleus as much as me, cheers!
Everything is so beautiful! But, little Ben steals the whole show! WHAT A CUTIE PIE!!!
Benjamin and Russell are sweet together. Is No still hanging around? Oh yeah, gardens are just lovely!
I think i missed half of what you said in the end footage. Benjamin sure does steal the show. What a little sweetie.
Thank you so much for opening up your beautiful garden to your fans. I love how you started laughing when you said, "were going to prune trees . . . together." I'm glad the weeping willow has recovered. Much love to you, Aaron, Benjamin and Russell from Zone 7a (Annapolis, MD).
Perfect video length for a large cup of coffee. Thanks. Didn't put a play set in our yard because we lived very close to a public one. How about some natural play structures like grassy hills, teepee trellises with runner beans, climbing stones etc.? The idea has taken over many daycare, early school and park green spaces in our city. On the other extreme, a mini man cave???😃
I never knew people had gardens like this until now. I am amazed......
Dear Laura it makes me so happy when you and Aaron post another video. Rather watch your videos than anything on tv. I got my two sisters hooked on watching you too! Love getting to see how all your lovely plants have flourished and made your home and gardens even more beautiful. I have learned so much from you and so wished I had a garden center like yours in my hometown. Keep up the good work and may the Lord bless you richly!
3:38 he follows them all around the property ready to strike at danger from wherever it may come. 4:03 He also scouts ahead to make sure everything is clear then waits for them to catch up.
He made me laugh when he jumped as the sprinkler system turned on! :)
Been binge watching Garden Answer's garden tour videos and my word, her work makes me wanna purchase an acre just to put up my dream garden inspired by her ideas and also makes me motivated to fix the little garden space I have now. What an inspiration. Kudos! P.S. I love watching your looong garden tours more than watching a movie lol keep it up!
Thank you Benjamin, for showing the last area of the garden. Great job! (He's so stinkin' cute!)
Love the garden Tour. One could tell from the tone of your voice how much you enjoy your gardens. Can’t wait till the next video.
Loved seeing Benjamin and Russell together! Your gardens are stunning!
Yes! Please show some fountain stuff, care, tutorials!! Birds are starting to migrate for the winter that's why they are so loud, and plentiful. ♥Thank you for sharing your gardens with us all & your family!! God Bless!! ♥♥♥♥
Confession: Sometimes I get in bed and say to myself, "Just one video before bed." Then I wake up and it autoplayed for hours and youtube has them marked that I watched them ... si I don't know what I have watched or not... but it is fun rewatching. They never get old. lol Thanks!
Ohh my word, your garden tours are the best. Everything looks like it’s doing wonderfully and Benjamin is such a handsome baby boy. He is getting bigger as time flies by so quick❤️😘
Gorgeous!!! I'm so envious of all the beauty! You both have worked so hard to build those spaces up & you've been diligent in maintaining everything. You guys must be so proud that everything has grown so beautifully! On the play set for Benjamin....definitely wood! That would tie it all together! Thank you for the tour! It's always enjoyable to watch! P.S. I love how Russell is with you through the tour. It's almost like he's giving the tour as well! He truly is so adorable!
Beautiful! Have you heard of Doug Tallamy? You’ll have lots more pollinators, especially butterflies, if you give them the specific native plants that they can eat as caterpillars. Most all Lepidoptera are specialists when it comes to the host plant for their caterpillars. They usually can’t eat anything else, so without their host plant(s), they can’t reproduce.
I literally am planting right now while watching this video. You inspire me to start my garden in a container. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are amazing :)
Stumbled onto your videos while trying to learn good winterizing tips. Then I was hit with vertigo so the only thing I have been able to do is watch your sweet videos, one after another. I have learned soooo much! And if I wasnt already spinning, I'd say you've made me dizzy with anticipation ane inspiration!!! So many thanks!! Now back to my Garden Answer video binge watching!🍁❤🍂❤🌼
Looking back ,it's now end of November 2023. So much change. Two children,Benjamin an Samantha Grace, three kitties, more huge parcels of land, new brick or stone pathways,a Baby Grand,a Hartley green house, an aquascape pond with patio ,lights, fire pit, so many changes an it all is so amazing. Looking back to now,so much planning and hard work. The most recent property is going to be the woodlands. Over a hundred trees planted this year. Future stables and horses maybe. Her ability to plan an imagine the future look as trees grow and things fill in is amazing. Been watching for three years, wish I had started sooner. That way I would have more done,and things would be more mature. She motivates me. Tho I have many trees and flowering shrubs I planted 40 years ago, I basically quit at that point. A few flower pots from the big box stores each year to put here and there, to brighten up the front porch and back patio, was it. Now I realize I have an acre I can make so much more beautiful. So I've been working on it. Even a vegetable garden that produced so much,I canned and froze enough for a year, and still had enough to share with neighbors. Laura motivates me like nobody else can.
Such beautiful gardens. I know you put a lot of work into them. How you remember every name of every flower , I don't know, but you do. Lol. They are absolutely beautiful though. You should be very proud of your work and your husband as well. Y'all have a beautiful place.

I'm sort of a savant when it comes to naming all the plants I know. After a long winter, I just need a nudge and the names spill forth. Don't underestimate yourself.
My mother in law bought my kids a play set kit from Amazon. Wood, and has space for four swings, a slide, and a platform/lofty house. We love it and it would be so easy to match it to your existing structure!
My momma has been out in her garden 24/7. I asked her why she is out there for so long! She said she has been watching Garden Answer and it has recharged her motivation and given her so many ideas! Your TH-cam is pretty awesome!. She has even started sharing her garden on her cooking channel on TH-cam too at Gigi's Lao Kitchen. Check her out!
BTW, I LOVE these garden tours. Please do them every month, the longer the better. :) (Oh and don't forget the drone at the end. I LOVE that!)
Even in the heat of the summer, your garden is amazing! A video on how to trouble shoot a water fountain is a good idea-- love all your videos! Benjamin is such a cutie pie, thanks for sharing him with us!!
What a delight to see your gardens in full bloom! Thanks so much for the gift you give to us!
What a beautiful garden! The most beautiful I've ever seen! Thank you for sharing your hard work and for featuring baby Benjamin too! I enjoyed your vlog so much!
I didn’t hear a word you said in the bonus footage after you bought Benjamin out! He’s the cutest! Garden looks amazing. A wine stroll would be magical.
Just beautiful and yes please to a video fixing the fountain. :-)
My heart fills with joy every time I see “Garden Tour” on the video title. Love your garden and all the work you guys put into producing your videos. I’ll be anxiously waiting for “how to train your boxwood” videos ❤️
That dipped in wine coleus bed is striking... may have to try that next year! I think I may be your spirit animal... your comment about ladies mantle almost made me drop my phone. I can't have a garden without it! I could spend an hour looking at them with morning dew bubbles on them.
Baby Benjamin.
Love the older garden tours. 🌱
We looked at Rainbow Play sets, then had a local carpenter build what we wanted. Our boys enjoyed it for a lot of years. Thanks you guys for the tour!
Wel well what a wonderfull garden nice flowers ..your garden is getting nicer and nicer every day love it love it Thank you guys for sharing nice family too God keep blessings you .
Beautiful! I haven't had a chance too watch your videos in a while. Awww, Benjamin is adorable and growing so fast. It will be nice to see you chasing him all over the garden.😊
Love the garden tours. I'm jealous lol. Have been talking with my husband about putting drip tubing around our house and I think I have him convinced after showing him your videos. Thanks for all that you do for us. Really appreciate it. Benjamin is getting so big. Soon you will have another helper. 😊
Benjamin is getting so big. He will be walking before you know it. I love every part of your gardens. Yes the playset needs to be upfront where you can see it. And the back part with the three concrete structures well!!! Benjamin needs a pony. And you guys need chickens for fresh eggs. It will be so healthy for your family. I just love watching your videos. Can't wait to see what's next. Have a great day. God Bless
I stumbled across your videos about a week ago as I was looking for ideas for landscaping. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos, your enthusiasm is wonderful and how much you love gardening. Good ideas. I love the kitty cat that follows you all around. Love your videos!!! From a Wisconsin :).
Hi guys!!!!!! Finally got to see it! Lol and it was worth the wait. This morning my husband and I agreed to wait to see you guys tour till tonight so we could enjoy and oh my was it so hard so tempting to wait 😆 lol. So after dinner we got our wine and got ready to watch them all our little ones decided to sit and it became a family night!!!! We ooh and ahhh we all loved it. Our little man he’s two kept on saying hi to Benjamin. Guys it was a great tour we can see now how much work it takes and we appreciate everything y’all do. We are about to do a tour soon of our little tiny garden not as amazing as yalls our weather has been rough but we are happy about what we have learned. Ok sorry about the book I just typed lol but y’all deserve to here how happy you Laura and Aaron make people . 💚💚💚💚💚💚 hugs Benjamin and Russel!💙🐈
Your garden tour is always exciting and just like a bonus. I came to enjoy gardening in the veranda of my apartment these days thanks to you. I love all of you guys. Be happy~!!
I would love to walk around in your yard. It inspires me to plan and plant new things in my yard! 😊❤️🐾
Hey Laura, I love your garden tours. If you are having a problem with hard water get some baking soda it is a water softener. I use it in my dishwater and I don't scrub pans anymore. I just soak the pan and it lets the soap do its job.
Hey Laura! Your property is looking great. A suggestion for Benjamin's play area would be to put in some sort of circular/oval smooth path where he can ride around his play set on his tricycle (bike with training wheels later). Gravel driveways would be hard to negotiate and unsafe. What little boy doesn't like to pretend he is riding a dirt bike?
Love the garden tour 😍 everything is looking beautiful as always. Best part of the video was when the baby arrived and when the sprinklers came on and scared Russell 😂😂😂😂😂
Marlene Weaver
Looks like Guara. Not sure I spelled that correctly. She said it just ahead of that garden where it's more of a white. 20:40
Caralee Petite guara, I just rewatched and heard her say the name.
Your garden is just beautiful !! A small suggestion of what you can do next year to the pots in front of the barn is to fill the bamboo with fall ornamental gourds in different varieties .
Laura, swing n slide. Premium play set. We use it almost everyday with 3 kids on at the same time and have no worries of stability. Birthday parties the set has upward of 10 kids with no worries! Survived a hurricane as well!
In addition to a playset, I might suggest an animal sculpture designed by local artist Paula Zima somewhere in the garden/lawn area for Benjamin and friends to climb on and around. They are licensed by Sportrock Intl.
which include a horse, gecko, fish, turtle and a dog
So glad you’ve got sweet autumn clematis in your landscape! Such a beautiful vine. Down here in south Mississippi it grows wild and this time of the year it’s looking like drifts of snow!
Everything looks beautiful! I still think you should make the back yard a cutting garden. Think of all the arrangements!
As for Play Area. We our Daughter was little, now almost 23, my Husband bought a Building Yourself book about 10$ at Home Depot! seems they have a small area of books, soft bound of DIY Projects ! This would be a Fun Project for you and YOUR FAMILIES to Build, like a I remember when Project ! Pictures all along the way and pictures of YOUR Children and Nephews and Nieces ! You know how you see ideas with children holding signs for FirstDay of School ? You all could take pictures every year a living scrapbook ! Also a cement small patch some where safe the children can put hand prints and dates, could use them for Stepping Stones ! So cute, kind of like a Time Capsule! Oh can You imagine the treasure boxes they could dig and add to maybe under the Willow Tree ! It is endless ! We only got to Have One Girl Child 🌸 She is AMAZING! So Fun and So Many Fun things to do ! When she was about 3 ? Old enough to understand enough👩🏻🌾 We Planted Her First REAl “Salsa Garden “ to this day she still talks about THEM and asks why I DIDN’T plant one this This Year ! And all the Pumpkin Patches we and SHE planted ! So Much JOY ! Don’t even get me started on the Butterfly Gardens and the Monarchs I was able the grow in her room IN HER BEDROOM after they cocooned and every Morning watched the Changes and The Exciting Monarchs hatching and carefully let it crawling on her hand as we gently walked out side and placed them, So Gingerly on the Blooming Plumeria Trees and Witnessed it “First Flight “ ! We Brought Madisen home on a Sunday, Monday was Our 15th Anniversary ! I remember you saying you were married 11 years before your Sweet Boy was Born !! I know you Treasure Every Tiny Magical Thing He Does !!! Xoxox 🌻🐝🌻 Debra in California!
Oh my word look at Benjamin on his feet. 😍Love the garden tour. Thank you. 🤗
That little boy will be playing in momma's flowers before you know it!! 😉😊
We call those tall plants Maximillian sunflowers....I have a group growing in my backyard and it's in bloom now! So beautiful!!!
Didnt know about sweet potato vines until i found your channel, now i have them all over the flowerbed! Thank you!
You have so much water pipes out in your yard, put a small drinking fountain for Benjamine. Remember when we were all kids playing out side we always needed water to drink. This way he can play with it some and not drown, like why you took pond out!! Lol. Kids love water. Drinking Fountain is practical and functional. And fun!!
Good Morning, speaking of the area for Benjamin's play set. If you have someone in your area that builds play set have them use pressure treated wood or maybe you can stain it the color you used for your veggie garden. I have a play set that was built to my liking with a fort (almost identical to my house) for my boys over 15 years ago with pressure treated wood and it still looks good as new. My boys have outgrown but it still looks beautiful in my yard. (sometimes they use the monkey bars to exercise on)
Love to Garden I never thought to paint my play equipment! What a brilliant idea! I’m always frustrated that no one sells natural coloured trampolines!
great idea--i would want it closer to the house
Love the long video! And the extra footage of that beautiful baby boy. He is growing so fast. I would love to see a video of troubleshooting the fountain and repair to the other fountain when you get around to it.
Laura! You have such great energy. It's wonderful to watch you talk about your gardens. And YES, as so many others have said, you don't need to worry about the length of the videos. I just watched your hour plus June tour from last year, and I put this one on right afterwards. My gardening style is a lot messier than yours (you'd hate my edges! they kind of don't exist; I like the grass to grow right into the beds, horrors :p ) but I LOVE seeing your beautiful gardens, getting ideas, and learning from you. Thank you and Aaron so much.
Rainbow brand makes GREAT play sets! Most of their sets are made of cedar wood, and lifetime warranty. Expensive, but so worth it. They have tons of different sets, you can mix up areas like remove the rock climbing wall and add the net climber, get a straight slide now and when your son is a little older, add the swirly slide, etc.
I envy your gardens! ❤❤❤😍😍😍
I absolutely love the way you make me feel like a friend your showing around in your yard. Such talent. Love, love, love these videos. Very excited for my coffee time and this video.
I have so many favorite areas in YOUR garden! Lol 😂 You have encouraged me to be more creative and tolerant in my garden. But as you know, still much to do. Thanks for letting us see your projects and progress. 🌺🌸😀
Mulch is amazing! Took me years to convince my family it was a good idea. We put it in as a trial in one bed this year.....looks awesome and has made all the difference with our weed load! MULCH IT, don't wait!
Love the garden tour and watching your family including Mr. Russell. Benjamin is growing.🐈😇
Your garden is really shaping up. It is beautiful. You have certainly put a lot of hard work into it!!!😊
Playground coming! How fun. My kids have lived on the trampoline with a sprinkler in the summer and in a dry patch of dirt when it’s colder. They dig it up and have toy diggers etc. I’m sure a sandpit would have the same effect. But I like the dry dirt because when they grow up, I’ll just cover it over with grass. Easy! Swing sets are great too, but not quite as popular with my kids. Kids just love exploring nature, so Benjamin has plenty to keep him occupied!
Thanks for sharing the bonus footage. Benjamin and Russell just take off!!!!
Just attended the Grand Garden show, so this garden tour is like the cherry on top! Beautiful. I am full of ideas for fall and next year. I would love to see fountain trouble shooting and also how you repair the cracked one.
Yes please! Do a video on troubleshooting the fountain. Your garden is beautiful.
I would turn those kidney shaped grass patches into rose gardens lined with boxwoods! That would be so pretty!
