You guys did an amazing job on all the aerial shots while Laura's planting on this video. Not your usual shots as I have been watching Laura for a long time. Amazing job Aaron!
Thought the same thing!! Love the drone views.
I guess a drone is making it's way into production. Love the arial view giving us a perspective of your property...
Absolutely agree! I could almost hear the narration of epic proportion as the music played.. just another day, little did Laura know that as she planted more perennials she was nurturing a hope for tomorrow that reached across a divided world, and a love of gardening that would be shared around the world.... Garden Answer the movie 🙃
Agree, love 😍 the drone footage!!!

Morning Laura! Hope you and yours are well. You asked about how to give direction to parking, the house, and the Hartley. The first thing I thought of were 💡 lights in a stone column made with same brick 🧱 or pavers that you are using or on posts. I’m thinking like the gas flickering lights.
For the entry walk : why not have some stone pillars on either side of the start of the brick walk to add a sense of formality to indicate the beginning of entry walk and being stone they could marry the color of the flagstone to the entry.
My thoughts too! Could add some black metal/iron gates to the pillars and leave open toward the Hartley and the house entrances
This was my thought as well. Brick or stone pillars with either a planter on top or a light.
My thoughts too.. make like a landing area just inside the pillars/arches and then have the path fork one to the main house and the other to the Hartley 🤍🤍
Brick columns
Yes, I had same thought....columns, lights?.....could help clearly identify the primary entrance. As far as transitioning the paving materials from parking gravel to hartley and main entrance though? I'm a bit lost on that too.
I love watching Laura planting, but I have to give Aaron a shoutout to the camera work, love the drone footage and the editing to this video was so pleasant to watch.
Just had a mindful moment.
I have watched G.A since 2016! (Omg that's been so long)
In that time we had a rental home so the garden was annuals and pots I longed for Garden of my own. My mum trained as a horticulturist at Kew gardens in the UK, and the love has been passed down like Laura and her mum.
And to see how much this garden changes in just months and years gives me hope.
So that that we have our purchased home and the garden we have been dreaming of just I too can now see leaps of progress and have the confidence in knowing that gardening is magic ingoea from dirt to green and beautiful in no time.
It's true to garden is to believe in tomorrow ❤️🌹
If you want guests to go toward the house, I would bring the brick walkway all the way out to the parking area, so they just follow the brick path. The entrance to the flagstone patio could be along the path, maybe through an arbor or just a break in the hedge. I can't wait to see the end result, but enjoying the long drawn-out journey just as much. Always something to look forward to!
In Addititon the brick path needs to have some sort of grand feel, so one knows that it is important.
I thought the same thing, the floor could tie the areas in together and be natural. Adding the arbor is just genius. That sounds like it could be soooo nice
i like this idea but i would accentuate the entrance with possibly the urns you took out of the formal garden recently. an arbor could also be nice, but you can have too much of a good thing and you already have several arbors scattered about. i would want a bolder statement. like taller evergreen topiaries or something structured. awaiting the result also!
You’re such a dear person and showing your genuine emotions on video is a huge part of the charm of this channel. I’m as excited for you as you are!
absolutely agree with you !
I bet she wakes up super early excited everyday.
Always so exciting to see progress! Love the drone shots Aaron you can see how far the gardens have come. The layers are starting to look so beautiful. All the hard work is definitely starting to pay off great job Laura❣️
Hello toinette
So many exciting things happening!!! I cheered when I saw the weird retaining wall go! Can’t wait to see the stacked stone🥰 Really digging the drone shots of Laura planting the Dogwood shrubs😍
To mark out your new area, lay grass or gravel and install Aaron’s dream British lamppost which could serve also as a multi sign post to your home, Hartley etc.
I love how Laura went from liking the brick circle bed, to loathing the brick circle bed, to getting rid of the circle bed… to replacing it with a brick circle bed hahaha! I’ve always loved the way that area looked so I’m glad it’ll be similar
Love love love the drone footage. Can really see what you guys have achieved so far and how beautiful it’s all looking. Laura, you are getting there!! Great job guys! 👏
New Gardner in Ohio: Seeing you plant the South Garden with a free style and how it is coming along shows your true talent. I also want to thank you for tips as we develop our own new beds.
The drone shots were amazing! The lush green paths and the abundance of trees, shrubs and perennials were gorgeous! You definitely have the correct Answer in your Garden!
For sure!
Make sure you show your appreciation towards your landscaping employees. They deserve some kind of a appreciation. Thanks.
Todays content was pretty amazing! One thing that I appreciate and I’m sure others do as well, is that amount of effort y’all go to share what you’ve doing with so many different shots and angles. Thank you. 💚😊🌸
The aerial views of your gardens were so pretty and it allows us to see the layout, how the different gardens come together and what progress you have made 👏🏻
Yup, brick was the right decision. I can see the attraction with the flagstone, but it will look wider n more cohesive with the bricks. Helped me make a similar decision today! 🙂
I don't like the flagstone, it doesn't fit with the formality of the brick. She needs to pick a style & stick with one because while this mishmash might appeal to the eclectic, it doesn't match with the formality of the Hartley & the brick. Hiring a professional Landscape Designer would be a huge help to "button up" the hodgepodge that's going on.
If it is not broken and looks good why fix it. Some people just like the headache of renovating every single corner.
So excited to see that brick walkway underway! I know you guys have been waiting on that for a while. I can not wait to see it completed! 😀😀😀
“The shell must break before the bird can fly” (Tennyson) Please don’t be so hard on yourself. You have made the best decision. Trust your knowledge and your instincts which have served you very well! Just look at what you have accomplished. I’m not certain what was different about this video, but it was somehow spiritual. Thank You!
I alway tell my kids “ there is No wrong way .. there’s is just Your way” building confidence starts early in life and will definitely provide respect for other’s choices ✨🤍
It was the music. Very mellow.
It as the drone shots.
@@CS-ly3lx LOVED the music!
☕️Good morning GA friends, and Laura and Aaron. The sidewalk area is beautifully planned and done! Fascinating to watch it all happen. Enjoy the day everyone! 🌻👏🏻🌝
@Dee Zahm ~ Thank you and 👋 good morning to you also! You enjoy your day too!
Glad you went with all brick instead of having some flagstone mixed in... I think it will look so much better and cohesive
The drone shots were awesome! It really shows how wonderful the space is and will be. Great job Laura and Aaron. You inspire us every day.
I find myself nodding my head in approval as Laura explains the changes. After watching this channel for many years, it’s so wonderful to see Laura & Aaron’s dreams come to fruition.
Aaron- or editor?-music choice is awesome! Whatever this is during the Arctic fires prior to 15m mark is uplifting but soothing.
Great drone shots, Aaron. Laura when you finally lay your head down for a “nap”… you will come up with your answers. I get so much energy from watching you that I have to rest. Lol…. Amazing job you guys.
Hi Laura, I can’t wait to see a secret bistro garden! Especially after the maze garden turned out so fantastically 🤩
Hello Pauline
❤️ I really enjoyed this video 😊 I'm glad you decided not to do the flagstone. I think the same brick, just in a different pattern, will look MUCH better. I also think doing the wider walkways was a smart decision.
Such beautiful footage from the drone -- I would love to stroll through your gardens. The brick pathways are going to be just as lovely, and Benjamin & Samantha Grace will 'discover' the brick low grade ramp on their bikes -- that will be fun!!
I was struck by how filled in everything is getting. Congrats... how satisfying to be able to see the dream coming together so beautifully.
Good day to all! I’m suggesting some pretty scrolled iron lampposts lighting the way to house and again with a curved fencing on each side, low and beaconing you to walk this way to the Hartley❤️
Loved the aerial shots Aaron! Love seeing the south garden and how much it’s changed since last year. Exciting times around the house - so excited with you to see your walkways finished. Imagine how beautiful it’s gonna be!
Hello Melissa
Y’all don’t come for me…😆 but I think the Annabelle Hydrangeas need to be re-homed so the new brick walkway can line up dead center with the porch steps.
😍😍😍
Hello Rita
Drone shots are TO DIE FOR! It's so amazing to see how things have developed! ❤️
Hello Jackie
Ask Jack Barnwell how to connect the brick, flagstone, etc. The areas he has done in Michigan are nothing short of amazing. Bet he has som ideas!
When you see the south garden from the aerial view, it's so impressive. What you and Aaron have achieved in a year is amazing! Congratulations and can't wait to see more.
Started watching couple years ago. It's so amazing how much you guys have done. It's all so beautiful. I so enjoy your journey. Thank you for sharing it with us. Love it when Aaron flies the drone.
I’m sick as a dog and have been up since 4am. So glad your daily videos are here to provide a little distraction.
I hope this distraction helps and you will be better soon.
Feel better!
Prayers
Speedy and full recovery
I hope you feel better soon!
It has been such a huge journey for you all, but everything that you are doing is worth it! It’s so exciting watching your beautiful garden projects take form; each one so different, but yet all have a unified design that suit your lovely home. Why don’t you put a large, stunning archway at the main entrance to your house 🏡 Perhaps you could give your property a beautiful name and have it etched into the wood, or maybe a big black or white metal archway with a hanging plaque? You could grow some sort of striking blooms or roses up the archway. 🌺 You could always have a smaller but similar, less grandiose archway lead to the green house. Your property is really looking beautiful. All of your trees, shrubs and perennials have so much. 🌳🌻🌲🌷
I love this idea! I wonder if having the entrance appear to be more formal and buttoned up with an obvious pathway and the pathway to the Heartly feel a little more playful and cottage like will help distinguish the two.
I agree, rather than trying to make the entrance obvious with the pathways, mark it with an arch, trellis or other structure. I also think if you want it to be obvious as an entrance, the bushes at the corners in that area need to be removed and replaced with something shorter and more open.
@@vzeimen I agree about removal of tall plantings. I have heard that with landscaping, you should be able to see the door.
Love that Aaron used the drone to film you from above. I am amazed at just how many plants shrubs and trees you have put in !!
Okay.....so this was filmed last Friday. That means today/Thursday the walkways are probably finished. YAY for GA family! Can't wait to see it! 👏👏👏🤩🤩
Laura, how about a gothic arch indicating the house back entrance?
Sounds like a job for your friend Jack Barnwell! Melding all the area’s is quite the undertaking! Good luck! I’m sure whatever you do it will be stunning!
You've come a long way from that open field. I can hardly wait for the video when you highlight all the jobs that you did within the year and I hope Aaron gives us the overhead shot of the property. Those shots are my favorites and especially the one when Benjamin was running in the front yard...priceless.
“There’s benefits in procrastinating”, I’m stealing this quote lol! Love the drone shots-it helps me visualize the entire space so much. As for the transition space from flagstone to brick-could you edge the flagstone area with brick then it wouldn’t look like you were introducing a completely different hard scape? Just a thought 😊
Happy Brick Day, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
It's going to look so much cleaner and finished when it's done.
I love the bit by bit plantings.
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾 👍 💓
Hello Peggy
Love the music in this video but like them without too, like hearing the sounds of gardening.. it is so peaceful to me.
A suggestion: surround the "secret room" you're thinking about in the middle of the South garden with a wall of lilacs!
Oooo....what a great idea!
Morning all. Yes Laura, I go through emotions like that every time we have ever done some structural work. You are always hoping you got the right crew for the job. Will they respect your property and what is there, will you love it in the end, etc. I loved the drone footage today. It was beautiful and you could see that hibiscus in the distance. So pretty, as was all your plantings today. Looking forward to the next video. Enjoy your day.
Hello Donna
Morning GA family!
Good morning! So exciting seeing this happening! I would LOVE to see matching handrails go in for the back stairs... I've always thought the front ones were so elegant!
Great video, Laura. South garden is amazing. Love your willy nilly approach. You’re absolutely right….when you do a large area like this in this relaxed way you start to see areas where you can make little hidden spaces and place things of interest. It just gets better and better with each planting. And Aaron…..those aerial views while Laura was planting were terrific. You are becoming quite the videographer! 😊💖🦋🕊
You should put in a center garden 'round-about', one direction to the barn, one direation to the garden, one to the house...etc or Santa's village for the winter
Great video today! I love seeing the progress on the hardscaping. The addition of the drone footage is wonderful. We see everything at eye level which is how most gardens are enjoyed but getting the high level view really places the landscape into perspective. I find when I am trying to convert friends to being GA watchers I look for videos that have the aerial footage to give them an idea.
Hello amy
I’m adding the Coral Berry pruning info (12”) to my permanent plant tag…..no need to tax my brain and refresh my memory every spring.
Maybe add some evergreens in front of the parking and a brick arbor leading the way to the Hartley and a double-wide brick walkway leading towards the house? Whatever you do will be wonderful, Laura!
Watching Garden Answer relieves my stress & depression, thank you! It is very satisfying to watch things being planted, bloom & harvested. And, I absolutely love, love, love the music that was chosen for this video.
Merging the flagstone and brick walkways: I can see a small fountain or statue in a circular flower bed encircled with a soldier border of the bricks. It will be a natural meeting of the flagstone and brick paths. If it is centered with the front door, it will be a beautiful view coming and going from the house. A circular structure in the center enables a good flow to each pathway and creates a lovely experience to move through the spaces. I have a similar structure in front of my house. Can’t wait to see what you do- it will be beautiful! ❤️You all!
I love the drone pans. It really shows how much you've done in such a short time. You've been such an inspiration as I've started our property from scratch this year as well. ♡
Hi Laura 😊 What happened to the 12ft wide 10ft tall garden artisan arches, that you got from the UK? You thought you might make tree arches with them. But now that fence has gone from the back formal garden so ....would you be able to use one of them as a entrance from your driveway to the flagstone patio?
Great idea! With some climbing hydrangeas or climbing roses. It would be spectacular!
Proven Winners needs a catalogue!
I must say, I love the drone shots, they let you see your masterpiece as it unfolds. Thank you for sharing this with us. The love, the work, sweat and tears that is put into your small piece of heaven. You make this world a better place. God Bless!
Hell yeah! I totally agree that landscape construction is nerve-wracking! I can only go through stuff like that once in a lifetime...I need order and calmness LOL. Of course I am a member and saw part of the walkway installed and it looks absolutely GORGEOUS!
Looooove the drone footage while you plant! The quality of your videos have always been amazing but this drone footage while you planted, added a whole new level of amazing. 💜
I'm sure I'm echoing many others but: Oh my God, yes I go through that worry with bigger projects that are not cheap and you're not gonna change fast even if you don't like it. My mom has very limited mobility now and we're putting in a path that her walker can go over easily and YES I'm super nervous about picking the right pavers! It's a path for her to easily get to the car, but it's also going to be part of my garden. Very lucky I found someone patient and excellent at his work. But still, big time nerves.
Love to see all the changes/progress/beauty!!! By the door where the big concrete piece is coming out... perhaps also remove the concrete step and build new step with same brick 💚🙂💚
Isn't this so exciting. I love these workers and the high quality they do. Probably having trouble with entrance because this year you haven't trim up so much there. After you trim then you will know. For plunking down stuff love every item. Can you imagine working in God's garden? I bet when he does a new earth ,your gardens get priority.
The grass pathways are soo lush&green the kids must hv a ball!
Hello Teri
DRONE SHOTS are fabulous! MORE PLEASE!
Thank you so much for the teachings as I wait for land clearing for new homes for my daughter and myself. I watch each video with a notebook because you share so much information about each plant. We have so much landscaping to do and it is fun dreaming about what a finished product can be.🌺🌺🌺🐝🐝🐝
I’m glad you went wider with the walkways, it will look more proportional to the grand property. I love the drone shots! Looks so pretty with the curving grass path. Secret space with bistro sounds so nice, can’t wait to see everything evolve.
How does she do it,Heaven,what a team these two make so beautiful.Laura is in her space where she thrives.
I think planters on either side where you want to direct traffic is an easy way to visually show people where to go. An arbor would work too. Great job Laura. Your will inspires me to keep working on projects in my garden!
The music while planting the attic fire is awesome!! So relaxing! 🌼
Wow! The drone shots were amazing today. It really showed the beauty of your gardens and how much progress you’ve made!!
You are such a breath of fresh air! Your enthusiasm is infectious 😄
"Procrastination is totally a good thing. You always have something to do tomorrow, plus you have nothing to do today. " Read that somewhere, had to share. Drone footage really brought home the amazing transformation(s) you guys have achieved. Thank you for the inspiration.
Oh my gosh!! So exciting for the brick sidewalk getting started. Loving the over head shots on this video! Love the red twig dogwood I have one in my garden and as soon as I planted the deer ate it down. Everything is looking great! I wish I could have my space looking so beautiful like yours.
Yes, I don’t need to cut back my red twig dogwood. It gets deer pruned regularly 😂
Woohoo, love the progress…not that everyday there is something great happening in your garden. In regards to your question, It might help in creating a direct view to the actual working door…the one to the kitchen and the one it seems you use the most. There might be a lot of rearranging but currently your eyes go to that door to the end of the hydrangea path. If someone gets to that point they need to make a decision of where to go. You can still have the path coming from the garden but from the guest parking area your choices will be…Hartley or home/kitchen. Does it make sense? Wish I could draw it :)
❤❤❤ Laura: There’s benefits to procrastinating sometimes!!! 😅
That’s me!!! ❤❤❤ I love your honesty🥰 take it slow and enjoy the process…be in the moment!! Have a great weekend you guys!! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
It’s so fun to see the progress. Remember you mentioned yesterday in the video - getting out of our comfort zone is a good thing- change is good. We grow and learn.
Laura, it’s all looking so beautiful! Loved the aerial shots! Great job Aaron!
For the entrance to the house, have an archway or a gate! Gates always symbolize an entrance to something.
Hello aly
When I watch Laura; it reminds me of watching a artist at work. Her paint is the plants. I am so glad she shares her vision and artistry with us.wonderful.
Could you extend the flowerbed into a triangular shape? It would do two things: 1- separate the flagstone from the brick and 2- it would create a forked path from the visitor parking area going to the house and to the patio area. You could put a few stepping stones where the irrigation boxes are so they're accessible and anyone going from the house to the patio could cut right through easily but that wouldn't be visible from the parking area. You could put a smallish tree like a crepe myrtle in the triangle. You'd be able to see around the spindly multi-trunk of a myrtle to the rest of the beautiful garden.
You know what would be a really cool video would be to go through your videos from over the years and use parts of the same locations in the video to do a mashup of all the years
It is so comforting to know that Laura has the same doughts that we have when starting some projects. It's all things that can be changed, if it doesn't turn out like we thought it would.
Beautiful space, loving the renovations, and plants you use. Random thought: I kind of miss the fairy gardens you used to do. Could you maybe do one during these hot days, or this coming winter?
Good afternoon from England. Great plans afoot! Gardens looking fabulous as ever. You have given me a few ideas for the garden when I move in a few weeks (it's a blank canvas). Keep up the good work, thank you for sharing your videos with us. Blessings...xx
A fountain would be lovely with that bistro set location. The sound of water would add a lot to that area and gives the birds and pollinators a water source. Love what you’ve done.
Great video, sometimes you just need to see the first step before you can move on, but I would be tempted to either edge the flag patio in the brick or use the brick in between some flags to create a pattern or use gravel to bridge the gap, you are already using gravel as material so it’s a good transition matrial
Hello Katie
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Exciting! I do go through that struggle/emotions/over-analyzing...yes, it can be changed, but I don't like wasting money.
Have you shared an update or progress on the cardboard/ no dig bed(s). You mentioned making more & I wondered how the weed suppression & maintenance is on those cardboard beds.
It must be such a relief to have a skilled crew.
Hello Laura, my name is Cecilia and I love your garden and all the improvement that you have done to it. Also, I want to tell you that I being watching your you tube channel and I being learning a lot from you. Thank you for always being there to lift my spirit up and with your wonderful ideas.
Things are really rock in’ around here! Such excitement. Love the drone shots. Gives a broad perspective of how far you’ve come this year and how beautiful it is. Just keeps getting better!!! I am curious…will you find any spots for a few burning bushes? Pops of fall color on steroids. 💚💚💚
Good morning, Laura ☕️ I love project days! I have been on the hunt for the Proud Berry and have struck out everywhere! Regarding connecting the pathway, how about a Moongate? Whatever you decide, I’m sure will be gorgeous 😍. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Great Garden Plants, White Flower Farm and Proven Winners all have it in stock.
@@GardenKath thank you so much!
Oh my goodness my soul felt fed this morning. ❤️❤️❤️ Watching the drone shots and listening to the wonderful music while sitting near my flowers inspired by my new love of gardening. Thank you Laura for helping me grow in knowledge, providing a way to heal my weary heart, and feel closer to God every day. ❤️🤗💐
good morning all have a safe and blessed day
It’s looking so good! I think visually you need to be able to see the entrance to your house from the parking space, so your eye is drawn towards the entrance. That may include removing some larger plants and extending the brick pattern from the walkway all the way to the parking area.
This is so exciting! I love change and fresh starts. Do you ever have a vision for a space, start to implement it only to want something else?
Find everything you do of interest, you two are inspiring 🙃👍
❤️ the drone footage today!!! My suggestion on Laura's question: The Artisan fabricating your beautifully curved handrail (great idea, Laura!!) could fabricate matching arbors to highlight the two entrances. They may also have suggestions for creating one-of-a kind garden sculptures to aid in designating traffic flow. I'm thinking pieces that Benjamin & Samantha will find interactive or represent them. Interesting pieces that draw the visitor to go down that path. Hope it helps. At any rate, it will look Amazing like all your projects turn out to be!!!
