Russell is your support cat. He is there to remind you to take a minute, relax, and pet him♡ Just when I think your property can't be any more beautiful... you go ahead and pull the 500 boxwood card♡ What do you think inspired your love of formal gardens? Was it your visit to England? The drone footage was spectacular.
To have been watching since pretty much from the beginning and to now see the development of the property you moved to as well as the growth of the channel is amazing!
Wow wow wow! The drone footage at the end really shows off the space. The informal gardens around it really do just bring it all together. There is some thing so pleasing to the eye about the combination of the informal and formal. Looking forward to your winter planning sessions. Loved watching all of you working together and the kids in the background. And of course, Russell.❤
Out of everything you’ve done to your property, I think this is the best transition. I liked it when you showed it at ground level, but the drone footage was much appreciated and made it feel 10x better. Well done 👍
Those kids, what a life. Every shot you see them in their running around having a great time or they're helping out. Just bring so much joy to my heart
I love the look of the new boxwoods. I could also see a statue in each quadrant of the four seasons. I really enjoy watching your videos, been watching now for years.
Who else was not surprised when Laura decided to go with boxwoods in the cut flower garden?! 🙋🏼♀️ It is so beautiful, Laura, Aaron, and fam! Thank you for inspiring us. Also, who else noticed little Samantha Grace having fun building a “tower” with the plant pots?! Teaching your kids that work is not actually work, it’s fun! Power parenting right there. 💪💞
@@pennydyck8855 I always watch what the kids are doing, and yes that Samantha Grace is something, she’s going to do great things in her life. The mud pies may be a start❤️🤣
So completely blown away by your vision for the structure of the cut flower garden area. The satisfaction to see your vision come to fruition clearly is deeply satisfying for you and Aaron. As usual either your great kids or Russell have stolen the show. And let's not forget a shout out to Paul & Bethany for their tremendous assistance in bringing this project to completion! 🎉
The "square" within the "circle" within the "square" turned out just perfect! The symmetry is so soothing. Love seeing ideas LEAP off the paper and into fruition!
Your ability to envision a design like this is unmatched! It’s everything the space needed without the rest of us even knowing it! Completely gratifying to see the structure, order, and beauty revealed in the drone footage! This is the stuff that keeps me watching every day for 6 years. Beautiful work, per usual! ❤
Hello Laura, this is Charlie. I have been following you since you had 24,000 subscribers , you living in your townhouse and I have loved watching you all these years . I talk about you at my job all the time when I’m referring to how to treat fruit trees in November January and March keep them healthy. I would love to meet you one day as you inspire so many people. I live in Port Orchard, Washington and thankfully, our climates kind of close so I get inspiration from you in my yard. I love watching you and your mother shop and go antiquing. I wanted to let you know I just made my very first purchase with you. It’s the 7 inch auger and I’m so proud to follow your channel all these years. Hugs.❤
Stunning and truly transformative! Loved seeing Benjamin and Samantha on pot collection duty. While I know we watch the evolution of your gardens in real time, it might be fun to consider doing a recap video at the end of your season to highlight the significant changes you’ve made. We haven’t seen Douglas in a while, I hope he is well and is enjoying his life on your property.
When my pup is next to me in bed early in the morning and he hears Laura, he looks up to watch her. Enjoyed the whole family and crew . Samantha picking up the pots.
In the center of those walkways, how about a statue, possibly the four seasons? Lol, Russell just wants to be your friend. And YES to brick walkways! This is my kind of garden also, I love it!
The boxwood hedging designs looks absolutely gorgeous. It's going to be something else when they get a bit of size on them. Great job everyone who worked on it. ❤
Laura, I love your entire property. The south garden is beautiful, the pond area, etc. But I absolutely love formal gardens and I cannot wait to see this in a couple of years so excited.And I also love the videos with your whole team working!
When I first saw you were doing the swoop around the trees I thought "oh please Laura, enough with the boxwoods" but it is just the right mix. When you showed the quadrants with and without, you definitely went in the right direction. And the aerial footage confirms it.
The combination of ordered, repetitious spaces and freeform, organic areas is so pleasing! Too much of one or the other can feel overwhelming. Hearty applause for this lovely transformation!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💚
The grass mow lines in that drone footage were so satisfying to look at!!! Well done, to you all. What an incredible team effort and it's so lovely to get to see it on TH-cam.
Drone shots are amazing!! Thank you for sharing. In a somewhat chaotic time you bring peace, beauty, inspiration, and hope for better times ahead…simply by being who you are. Never doubt for a moment the impact that you have on our lives. You aren’t just planting a garden…you are making the world a better place by your example. Thank you!❤️
Really love watching the transformation of your property over the years, and the results of your ever evolving vision. Thank you for showing us one way to create a beautiful, formal garden. Also love seeing Russell, but miss seeing Douglas. Hopefully he is okay?
I will be the first to admit, I am not a formal garden type of person, but first, when you showed your drawing, I thought, oh, that is so nice. But, oh my, seeing it go in and the drone video after, all I could say was, wow. So beautiful. So happy for you. Can't wait to see the future of this garden.
I’m with you Laura, having some orderly planted gardens brings peace. These quadrants are perfectly spaced in between your other long garden paths of various planted tress, shrubs and flowers!!! Well done!!!
All hands on deck even Samantha helping by picking up the empty cans! I’ve been anticipating watching this project and it is so satisfying seeing your vision for this space become a reality. It’s going to be a beautiful and peaceful garden that will be enjoyed for years to come. I love it❤
I watched the drone footage over and over to admire how all your gardens look as they flow one into each other with their own unique style but still cohesive. Beautiful!
I did too but partly because the last two swoops looked off and as a graphic designer I was immediately “oh no!” Then realized they were the final 22 still in their pots. Disaster averted lol. The whole design is just so perfect there. The satisfaction they will have going forward because of these choices. And having the change all on video is wonderful.
I agree with you. Satisfying is the correct word. 😊 It was very satisfying to watch the holes being dug and the plants going in. I love this look. I can’t wait to see it planted with flowers. It’s going to be spectacular. Love love the hydrangea idea.
This is definitely your signature style! You balance formal with informal perfectly. It is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents and journey.
Laura, you are so right! When you look at the flanking informal gardens and then you see the formality, it gives rest and peace to the eye. You're amazing girl! I love how the garden unfolds in your mind! Sorry, meant to say "woman" , I'm just a lot older.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the new formal structure in the cut flower garden . 💗 I was thankful for the drone views at the end as they made me see that the squared off bench areas do look nice (I was in originally a little unsettled about them not matching the other swooped corners of each bed but from the sky I could see that they look nice being squared off ). Can’t wait to see it all develop over the years .
I think that you and Aaron are some of the most WONDERFUL people on earth. I have watched you EVERY morning for years. I absolutely love what you are doing. But I would love for you to occasionally do smaller projects for those of us that cannot afford to plant 500 boxwoods. I really miss things like the pallet walkway. Shopping with your mom and sister. Things that ordinary people can do and learn from. I am very happy for you! I know you have worked so hard for this. I’m wanting to put in a pond, but cannot afford a dream stream. HELP us common folk!😂 We need your talent in our common yards.
You could absolutely do something like this on a much smaller scale. You can take the design principles and apply them to your garden using different plants on a different scale.
You can extrapolate information from this project to scale it down. Plant one tree and circle/square it with boxwoods, fill in the center with annuals or perennials. She has a great video from a few years where Greg came for the first time and installed a baby pond less waterfall kit. She still has the kit and will be reinstalling it in the future.
I don't think I've seen a video where Laura has planted 500+ boxwood. It's definitely a huge project. She has and still does put out content that consists of small and medium-sized projects. I think this just happens to be a season where she is planting a larger area of land. The pond was also a very huge project this year. Their pond actually needed to cover a large area of land. They have added more property twice that I can remember. Oftentimes, it requires a large-scale project or two to fill the property you own. Yet, you can take any of her large-scale projects and scale down to any size. According to what fits your property. If she uses 9 plants in an area I may scale my back to 5 or even 3. Depending on the space. My property is only 3 acres. There is no way I could do many large-scale projects. Actually, my budget wouldn't allot for it. But I would love to take this formal project and design just one quadrant. A couple of projects I have completed in my yard are small, according to many of hers. A few projects may take more than one or even two seasons to complete because of my budget for said season. But that is gardening, you are never finished. You transplant and change areas or take some more of your yard and transform into garden. Your garden style preferences and the amount of property you are working with make a huge difference in the projects one chooses.
Gah! I love it!! I was up early this morning, constantly refreshing YT until it finally appeared so I could finally watch it! I was as excited to see this as the Dream Stream videos! It's so beautiful. And I absolutely loved Aaron's drone footage at the end! What you have accomplished in this 3-acre blank canvas in four years is incredible!! I paused often to take it all in. I love the different areas with different styles and functions: the berries, the orchard, the loop, the grass yard, and now the formal cut flower space. I also noted how successful you've been with including all the different colors in each area, especially with the trees and shrubs--green, yellow, red, and blue. They're all there, and together it looks so lush and beautiful. Another job well done.
I love the formality of the garden. It's already beautiful but imagine when the boxwoods have grown together. Reminds of some of the gardens in England. Lovely!🤗🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
I love this enhancement and feel as if the flower shed and orchard will become so much more included in the landscape, and not feel quite so far away! So fun to see you two happy for all your plans! Bravo!
RUSSELL 😻 such an attention getter and cute family pet. Awesome display from the formal garden, congratulations on the hard work friends. So pleasing to see the view from the Drone footage.
Wow! a family project and wonderful results! Everyone needs a Bethany and Paul. The children are so happy chasing pots, super cute! Thank you for sharing.
What an incredible oasis you are building. It was good to see Benjamin, Samantha, and Russell getting in on the project. What a team! You made it look so easy. And the footage from above.... Oh my goodness!! So beautiful!!
What I loved about the drone footage was being able to see the change in shape in the formal flower garden, the fullness of the south garden and the trees along the perimeter of the dirt lands. Also the cohesiveness of the new lane and big trees in the back property. Your guys have such an eye for design. Everything is graceful and lovely. Even tho’ I only have a tiny garden area I am and have learned so much about design and plants from you. Thank you so much. 😊
What a wonderful job! I’m watching your video and at the same time outside the window, and I’m already thinking about what I’ll do in my garden next year. Thank you for the motivation! 😍
Wow, I love it !!! Perfection. What a statement this makes to your cut flower garden. The bird’s eye view just cinches the whole idea you had in mind for the area. Fantastic. Thank you Laura and Aaron for taking us along on this journey of yours. Russell just wants to be in on the Love.
Perfection! I’ve been watching since before you purchased the South Garden. It makes my eyes well up with happiness. What a delight it is to enjoy all of your progress with you. Even the fullness and beauty of all that has developed in the “loop” was a delight to see in the drone shots, remembering how bare it all was in the beginning. All I can say is OH MY!!! ❤❤❤❤
That will be lovely! You are creating your version of an English Formal garden. I remember you talking about how much you loved the gardens from a trip to England after you and Aaron were married. Your dream garden is finally coming true.
It looks absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to see it evolve over the coming years. The kids were so cute helping and making flower pot towers. Drone footage was an added bonus.
Hi Laura Aaron here I am in my bedroom recovering from orthopaedic surgery, and you guys are keeping me company. Where I was in hospital I missed a few of your videos. It’s really nice catching up on them now that I’m home. Laura I completely agree, the boxwood hedging, and the trees and the more formal look you’re going for is definitely more you. I’m glad it makes you happy.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the drone footage it just brings everything together. So nice to see everyone supporting the project. Benjamin, Samantha Grace and Russell were so cute helping.
This design is amazing. I know it will be breathtaking by next year this time. Loving your vision for all your property. It seems like Benjamin and Samantha just join right in to help, play, and enjoy being outside with you both. A benefit to your whole family.
I love the view that has the fountain in it with the flower shed at the end. I can see brick lined walkways, hydrangeas around the trees and roses and dahlias in formal quadrants still allowing for cutting. Isn’t it amazing how gardens evolve?
Laura we getting excited just by watching your projects come to life, I can imaging how excited you are to actually create and do them with your own hands!!! 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩🥰
I loved watching you and your team get all those boxwoods in..oddly satisfying while I sat on my couch drinking my early morning coffee! What will you do with all the containers? I can't begin to express how inspired I am by you and your gardening skills 😊! Thanks for the opportunity to watch you knock out another project!
Incredible for sure! I was questioning the squares behind the benches till I saw the drown shots. Should have just trusted Laura. Can't wait to see this area grow!
Oh my goodness, that is glorious. Soothes my busy brain to see so much symmetry and balance. That garden is going to be amazing in a year or two!!! Love all the drone footage - thank you, Aaron.
Wow it looks stunning!!! The formal garden really grounds the entire south garden! Its like the center of it all, and fits so well in between all the paths and less formal surroundings. Love it!
I was wondering about Douglas myself. I've been searching the comments to see if it was mentioned where he was.. I knew about Cheddar but haven't heard or seen anything about Douglas.
Amazing! Such a great transformation. White hydrangeas would finish it nicely. And I love the idea of boxing everything in with a brick edge. 🥰 I can’t wait to see it next spring!
Before they took out the triangle garden they had white guara that peeked out above the hedge that was so pretty! It added a nice textural contrast to the stiffness of the boxwoods. Whatever they choose, I’m sure it’ll be lovely!
I have no words for how happy I am to see you this happy. It's like you've been waiting for this moment all your life. Well done Laura. Well done. Oh. It's gorgeous. Incredibly pleasing to the eyes. Thank you.
Superb!!! I couldn’t really picture just how beautiful this was going to be. But I agree that it is you. Can’t wait to watch it fill in and mature. That Russel is so loving and wanted to help and even the kids got in on this project. Thanks to you and Aaron for sharing.
I know I’m late, but the overhead drown footage is spectacular! I think Laura you’re a visionary, the way your projects have come and grown over the years is Amazing! What a wonderful crew you have in Paul and Bethany ♥️ Thank You for sharing all the you do! I know God is smiling after this planting, it’s the perfect spot to a have a simple conversation with God everyday ♥️
Oh my goodness the drone makes the area more interesting. Can’t wait to see flowers coming up and blooming.Paul and Bethany are wonderful help. Love Russell too! Thank you for sharing your planting.🌳🌳🐈🐈🐈🐈❤
Great job!!! Nice to see Russell in these videos ❤ brings me joy to see how gorgeous he is but we have been missing Douglas 😢 Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤
Love all the boxwoods! They are always the first plants we use to define all of our spaces in our gardens. Thanks for always being so inspiring! 💖🙌🏻🥰🪴🌸
Oh wow, I’m really liking this! Very British ❤ garden! … The idea of hydrangeas around the trees, would look just stunning! Can’t wait to see it next year!
I teared up a little bit with excitement for the younger inner Laura who has been dreaming of this structured garden since her trip to England. I dare say this might top the Hartley in the long run. Congrats to the TEAM for making this happen. How satisfying it was to watch progress and those drone shots are Epic! Depending on how the jaker plants look, I’d plant the 6 boxwoods elSewhere in case a couple of the perimeter ones don’t make it through winter and you have the same size plants to plug back in the line.
So beautiful! And the drone footage is fabulous! And I love watching you interact with your cats! Russell is a dear. I also have a real soft spot for Douglas. He has such a bold personality! I haven't seen him much in the last several videos. Hope he is doing well. Thank you for bringing us all along on this journey. It's like "sculpting nature" to create a beautiful interactive piece of art! I look forward to each and every video.
Russell is your support cat. He is there to remind you to take a minute, relax, and pet him♡ Just when I think your property can't be any more beautiful... you go ahead and pull the 500 boxwood card♡ What do you think inspired your love of formal gardens? Was it your visit to England? The drone footage was spectacular.
Everything you said is perfect!! What a joy to be along for the ride and be part of this wonderful Garden Answer community ♥️🌱🍁🌷
Yup what she said ☝️
Interesting question.
Yes…the drone footage was absolutely spectacular!
To have been watching since pretty much from the beginning and to now see the development of the property you moved to as well as the growth of the channel is amazing!
Shout out to Aaron and his exceptional grass maintenance skills. That lawn is just as spectacular as the gardens.
Aaron, how do you edge? Is the soil part slightly sloped to define the two?
Wow wow wow! The drone footage at the end really shows off the space. The informal gardens around it really do just bring it all together. There is some thing so pleasing to the eye about the combination of the informal and formal. Looking forward to your winter planning sessions.

Love the suggestion of a statue of each season in each quadrant!
The drone shots were awesome!! Absolutely beautiful!!
Gorgeous
I noticed the gate was up as well! Excited to see that video
I had to go back and watch the drone footage several times. The whole property is really coming together. It is beautiful to watch.
It looks meant to be, like it was always this way.
Beautiful!

God is using them mightily to bring beauty and order in a wicked and evil time. Soli Deo Gloria!
Sharing Laura's excitement & joy with the boxwood was pure pleasure. But, again, gotta admit, Russell impeding progress was the delightful best.
This was as exciting as the Dream Stream! I just LOVE your style! Have a great weekend GA Team!
Yes! It was just as exciting!
Stunning! Stunning! Stunning! The contrast at 26:17 of the dirtlands was shocking. What an incredible gift you have given to the land.
Russell keeping watch on everyone, what a hardworking guy 😍🥰
I love it so much!!! I didn’t think I’d like the corners behind the benches, but after it was all done it made so much sense! Chef’s kiss Laura!!!
I was skeptical about formalizing the cut flower area. After seeing your vision realized, I think it looks amazing.
Really love watching the transformation of your property over the years, and the results of your ever evolving vision. Thank you for showing us one way to create a beautiful, formal garden. Also love seeing Russell, but miss seeing Douglas. Hopefully he is okay?

Ditto!
Me too! And yet now I am sitting here figuring out where I can do a formal area in my own garden 😅
I’m with you Laura, having some orderly planted gardens brings peace. These quadrants are perfectly spaced in between your other long garden paths of various planted tress, shrubs and flowers!!! Well done!!!
what an amazing transformation. good job Garden Answer team.. I noticed I haven't seen Douglas lately he is usually right there.
I was wondering the same thing love that cutie
Hope he's ok, I was asking the same thing. He was always beside Laura.
Douglas lives at Bethanys now

Loved watching your little helper collecting pots. It’s new but already beautiful then there is Russell wanting to be included.
The drone footage at the end 🙌. I can’t wait to watch this area grow in over time. Russell is so sweet. 😊
What a transformation already!!! Looks FAB! I loved seeing the kiddies helping by picking up all the containers. What a whole family effort ❤
I love this enhancement and feel as if the flower shed and orchard will become so much more included in the landscape, and not feel quite so far away! So fun to see you two happy for all your plans! Bravo!
RUSSELL 😻 such an attention getter and cute family pet. Awesome display from the formal garden, congratulations on the hard work friends. So pleasing to see the view from the Drone footage.
Love how the kids got evolved with the pots. Fun times they will remember!
Russell is so sweet. He is just like my best buddy, Skippy. 🐈
Wow! a family project and wonderful results! Everyone needs a Bethany and Paul. The children are so happy chasing pots, super cute! Thank you for sharing.
What an incredible oasis you are building. It was good to see Benjamin, Samantha, and Russell getting in on the project. What a team! You made it look so easy. And the footage from above.... Oh my goodness!! So beautiful!!
What I loved about the drone footage was being able to see the change in shape in the formal flower garden, the fullness of the south garden and the trees along the perimeter of the dirt lands. Also the cohesiveness of the new lane and big trees in the back property. Your guys have such an eye for design. Everything is graceful and lovely. Even tho’ I only have a tiny garden area I am and have learned so much about design and plants from you. Thank you so much. 😊
Amazing! Russell just loves looking out for his mum.
What a wonderful job! I’m watching your video and at the same time outside the window, and I’m already thinking about what I’ll do in my garden next year. Thank you for the motivation! 😍
Wow, I love it !!! Perfection. What a statement this makes to your cut flower garden. The bird’s eye view just cinches the whole idea you had in mind for the area. Fantastic. Thank you Laura and Aaron for taking us along on this journey of yours. Russell just wants to be in on the Love.
Perfection! I’ve been watching since before you purchased the South Garden. It makes my eyes well up with happiness. What a delight it is to enjoy all of your progress with you. Even the fullness and beauty of all that has developed in the “loop” was a delight to see in the drone shots, remembering how bare it all was in the beginning. All I can say is OH MY!!! ❤❤❤❤
That will be lovely! You are creating your version of an English Formal garden. I remember you talking about how much you loved the gardens from a trip to England after you and Aaron were married. Your dream garden is finally coming true.
It looks absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to see it evolve over the coming years. The kids were so cute helping and making flower pot towers. Drone footage was an added bonus.
Hi Laura Aaron here I am in my bedroom recovering from orthopaedic surgery, and you guys are keeping me company. Where I was in hospital I missed a few of your videos. It’s really nice catching up on them now that I’m home. Laura I completely agree, the boxwood hedging, and the trees and the more formal look you’re going for is definitely more you. I’m glad it makes you happy.
Say a pray 🙏
P.S. We're all a little concerned for Douglas. Hope he is ok, we haven't seen him for a while. Maybe let us know during this weeks recap??
Oh my goodness, your space is SO gorgeous!!! What a fun place to grow up and just sit and enjoy the peace you’ve made in every part of your home ❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the drone footage it just brings everything together. So nice to see everyone supporting the project. Benjamin, Samantha Grace and Russell were so cute helping.
This design is amazing. I know it will be breathtaking by next year this time. Loving your vision for all your property. It seems like Benjamin and Samantha just join right in to help, play, and enjoy being outside with you both. A benefit to your whole family.
I love the view that has the fountain in it with the flower shed at the end. I can see brick lined walkways, hydrangeas around the trees and roses and dahlias in formal quadrants still allowing for cutting. Isn’t it amazing how gardens evolve?
Laura we getting excited just by watching your projects come to life, I can imaging how excited you are to actually create and do them with your own hands!!! 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩🥰
I loved watching you and your team get all those boxwoods in..oddly satisfying while I sat on my couch drinking my early morning coffee! What will you do with all the containers? I can't begin to express how inspired I am by you and your gardening skills 😊! Thanks for the opportunity to watch you knock out another project!
Love the drone shots. It’s so lovely to see everything neat and tidy and so pretty!
Incredible for sure! I was questioning the squares behind the benches till I saw the drown shots. Should have just trusted Laura. Can't wait to see this area grow!
Cute Russell. 😍 Is Douglas just hanging out where it is warm or maybe just hanging out at the Dream Stream.?
Oh my goodness, that is glorious. Soothes my busy brain to see so much symmetry and balance. That garden is going to be amazing in a year or two!!! Love all the drone footage - thank you, Aaron.
The drone footage really gives perspective and appreciation for your vision. What a great team you make!
You talk about a dream team, you and the crew are right up there with the best of them. Love it!!!. The Green Team.
I love the boxwoods! I can’t believe how they changed that space. It is already beautiful. ❤❤❤❤
Wow it looks stunning!!! The formal garden really grounds the entire south garden! Its like the center of it all, and fits so well in between all the paths and less formal surroundings. Love it!
I just love Russell! What a good kitty! Where has Douglas been lately?
And Cheddar too? Haven't seen him in a very long time but Laura has said that he keeps to himself.
Bethany has Cheddar. He started spraying all over.
I was wondering about Douglas myself. I've been searching the comments to see if it was mentioned where he was.. I knew about Cheddar but haven't heard or seen anything about Douglas.
Amazing! Such a great transformation. White hydrangeas would finish it nicely. And I love the idea of boxing everything in with a brick edge. 🥰 I can’t wait to see it next spring!
Before they took out the triangle garden they had white guara that peeked out above the hedge that was so pretty! It added a nice textural contrast to the stiffness of the boxwoods. Whatever they choose, I’m sure it’ll be lovely!
Eek! Omygosh, you should do bronze four seasons statues in each quadrant!
I have no words for how happy I am to see you this happy. It's like you've been waiting for this moment all your life. Well done Laura. Well done.
Oh. It's gorgeous. Incredibly pleasing to the eyes. Thank you.
Superb!!! I couldn’t really picture just how beautiful this was going to be. But I agree that it is you. Can’t wait to watch it fill in and mature. That Russel is so loving and wanted to help and even the kids got in on this project. Thanks to you and Aaron for sharing.
Beautiful ! The baby boxwoods remind me of little soldiers standing in perfect formation. Russell deserves "Employee -of-the-Week"... team spirit !
Spectacular! Everything looks beautiful and perfect. All areas have their own unique charm . And that grass is amazing!!!
I know I’m late, but the overhead drown footage is spectacular!
I think Laura you’re a visionary, the way your projects have come and grown over the years is Amazing!
What a wonderful crew you have in Paul and Bethany ♥️
Thank You for sharing all the you do!
I know God is smiling after this planting, it’s the perfect spot to a have a simple conversation with God everyday ♥️
Watching the drone footage at the end just makes me realize how much of a vision you have for detail Laura this will be a beautiful garden area!!!
I said to my husband, "She's showing us her sketch!!!" I love seeing your visions come to life.
Oh my goodness the drone makes the area more interesting. Can’t wait to see flowers coming up and blooming.Paul and Bethany are wonderful help. Love Russell too! Thank you for sharing your planting.🌳🌳🐈🐈🐈🐈❤
Great job!!! Nice to see Russell in these videos ❤ brings me joy to see how gorgeous he is but we have been missing Douglas 😢 Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤
The overhead view is do peaceful .It truly demonstrates all the work youve done on your place in such a short period, really. Love your channel ❤
Love all the boxwoods! They are always the first plants we use to define all of our spaces in our gardens. Thanks for always being so inspiring! 💖🙌🏻🥰🪴🌸
WOW!! FANTASTIC!! BEAUTIFUL!! AWESOME!! LOVE IT!! YOUR FAITHFUL RUSSELL!! TEAM WORK!! LOVE DRONE VIEWS!!
Oh wow, I’m really liking this! Very British ❤ garden! … The idea of hydrangeas around the trees, would look just stunning! Can’t wait to see it next year!
I love hearing the joy in your voice. I needed that today. 🥹Thank you. ❤
I absolutely love it. The boxwoods just make it so formalized. So you Laura.❤
I teared up a little bit with excitement for the younger inner Laura who has been dreaming of this structured garden since her trip to England. I dare say this might top the Hartley in the long run. Congrats to the TEAM for making this happen. How satisfying it was to watch progress and those drone shots are Epic! Depending on how the jaker plants look, I’d plant the 6 boxwoods elSewhere in case a couple of the perimeter ones don’t make it through winter and you have the same size plants to plug back in the line.
So glad you included drone footage. Your property is amazing.
I like how you are repeating the shape elements throughout your spaces. It adds such a sense of cohesion.
So beautiful! And the drone footage is fabulous! And I love watching you interact with your cats! Russell is a dear. I also have a real soft spot for Douglas. He has such a bold personality! I haven't seen him much in the last several videos. Hope he is doing well. Thank you for bringing us all along on this journey. It's like "sculpting nature" to create a beautiful interactive piece of art! I look forward to each and every video.
