I live in Texas right out side of Fort Worth. 109 the last couple of days with high humidity. I really need things to grow and thrive! Thank you for showing that things besides humans can grow in such harsh environments! 4 years go I found your channel with zero plants outside. Now we have a beautiful living space because you gave me the confidence to grow again. I was raised in a Floral shop in Pampa Texas 60 years ago. And lost the ability to love what I was trying to grow when I started my own place to grow. You have touched so many lives both young and old. Thank you for sharing your sweet family and love of growing all things, even broken hearts who happen upon your channel! Much love and Good vibes to you and your family.
Hi Cherri. I live here in Dallas on the southeast side. These high 103-109 temps in July have taken a major toll now on my plants and St. Augustine lawns. You know August is our Hottest month so I fear what that brings. We need Rain and Lots of It. I just Love Laura and her Stunning gardens. I’ve been watching for 2 almost 3 years and never miss her videos. Wealth of knowledge from her. Time for another Thrifting Spree with her Mom.
Just keep in mind that it’s not humid where Laura lives so it may get hot but plants can still breathe. I’m in GA and we don’t get up into 100’s but the humidity is what makes it tough on plants
As she was showing that last bit I was thinking, "oh look, Laura missed a spot!" Then she said she had a place for a plant😆! I love how she loves to fill every space with beauty!
I’m so happy to see your post each morning. My life is difficult lately and it really helps to know you are going to post each day. It’s good to see your cheerful face and beautiful garden (and the kids and kitties and of course, Aaron ❤️). I wish you as much joy as you bring to so many.
I had to chuckle when Laura said, "When I come across this variety again," she would buy extra of it. You'd think that Proven Winners would send her that plant immediately! Her edging around all the beds is immaculate. I'm experiencing that gardening is a fun process, and I am already planning for what changes I need to make this fall. I have been at gardening only since I started watching GA a year ago. It makes me so happy when I am out in my flower beds and I get compliments from people all the time. I've learned so much of it from Laura! Thank you...
When you say at the end of the video, “ I hope you found it helpful,” boy oh boy did it ever! Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing perennials at first year planting and then more established plants (2-4) seasons later! That gives me SUCH encouragement as I look at many of these same perennials I’ve planted this past year! Love videos like this…and maybe it should have been top 15-20, and not 10! Lol!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:30 I can't take my eyes off of that beautifully cut grass edge. To keep mine looking like that, I do a vertical cut with the string trimmer every time I mow. I would love to see a video showing how you maintain the edge.
I believe that I saw a video where they initially used a straight edge spade to edge the grass, then maintain it with a string trimmer turned on it's side.
I love these kind of videos but you doing this by walking through your own gardens was PERFECT! Looking at a picture is great but seeing it in a practical application make it so much better.
Thank you, thank you, for reminding us to have patience after planting and then showing us the growth rate between new plantings, yearlings and well established plants. I so often become discouraged when looking at my garden wondering if it will ever look filled in but then Laura says ‘be patient’ and I take a deep breathe and relax in anticipation. Thank you again for always giving us encouragement in every single video you share!
Greetings, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 It is climbing to 90°F high with 80% humidity and it only drops to high 70's at night and still high humidity. We are watering early everyday to keep the plants alive. We are getting a few showers each week. Everything looks ready for a flower shop in your garden. 🌼 Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
I'm in zone 9b in Arizona and we're going to hit 108+ today but our humidity is only 45%. It mostly just feels like an oven that sucks all of the moisture out of you when you walk outside
I adore how you educate us on keeping the gardens fresh with new blooms! God sure is so good to us to give us all the plants and the fine details of each plant to enjoy and you Laura teach us how to be successful with encourage and educating us. .Much appreciation to our LORD & the wisdom and love HE planted in your heart.
I'm so glad you showed us how the plants looked the first year!! That's one of the hardest things for me. I really want to plant more than I need and closer together than is necessary because I want them to look good right away. It's partly lack of confidence I think. Patience 💚
Laura the beautiful ornament grasses in background❤️Don’t forget about all the beautiful grasses! Grasses never take a break, no dead heading, cut back only with winter clean up and wave to us a year!
Morning everyone! I’m in NC zone 7b and todays high is 88 with 91% humidity 😅 This video is just what I needed since I am currently working on my backyard that is on a hill in full sun. This is my 1st year in my house and so far I have been working on making the hill usable and now with some terracing I can start to look for plants and flowers! I’m sure most will have to wait until next year, but I’m using your videos as inspiration and planning how to have interest all year round. Thanks GA and friends for everything!
I’m getting ready to re-do several garden spaces and this video is very helpful. I love having the perennials in one video I can reference without making a list that I’ll inevitably lose. Thanks!
Thank you, Laura, for the tour of your gardens showcasing what flowers & colour combinations look great together! I’m up near Niagara Falls Canada & a lot of what you have planted grows well here too. I’ve never seen those nodding clematis before, so beautiful. I have typically stayed away from the newer varieties of echinaceas as I wasn’t sure that pollinators or birds would be attracted to them. Appreciate your video showing the pollinators covering them! I leave mine up, so the birds can forage their seeds in winter.
Hi Laura, thanks for the tour! I have a cottage perennial garden (zone 6 in Massachusetts) that is half shade, half sun, and it’s always a challenge to find plants that will bloom at different times in the season. I also have a bunny problem. They love echinacea and yarrow… super bummer. Two questions: 1. Do you do anything with the seed pods that day lilies produce? My mom taught me to pull them off the plant and toss them on the ground in hopes they’ll dry, open, and spread their seeds, but I never truly believed that it works! 2. Could you do a similar video for shade perennials (hopefully some that add more color to the garden)? Thanks for being the start to my day every day!
Year before last, I let them mature on the stalk. I collected the ripe seeds in the fall and then winter sowed them. I got hybrids! The parents were peach and burgundy and the babies are a soft combination of the two.
Funny you mentioned bunnies. A rabbit made a nest in the middle of our yard. I was touring my garden last night only to find an entire coneflower plant completely mowed down. 😫
I added the Daisy Mays. They can take the heat plus they bloom continuously. You can save the seeds. They are Perennials and Proven Winners outdid themselves with this plant. Three fi high and wide. I love daisies, an have five in a circle which has grown together and makes a huge statement in my garden.
Everything in your garden is looking so good. The color and texture combinations are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Also, how is your mom and how did her surgery go?
Hi Laura, I'm in the heartland zone 6b. The temps have been high with humidity fairly high. It's been darn right unbearable. Right now at 7:53 am it's 82 degrees with 65% humidity & no breeze. Todays high is 106 with high humidity. It's been over 100 for some time now. Plants are suffering, I'm suffering, tomato plants have stopped setting, flowers are droopy no matter how much water they receive. I'm old & it's hard work. No rain in forever. The dog doesn't even want to go out..Dog days of summer! I start work outside early for 20 min. & come inside to cool off for half an hour. Then back at it. I have over 5+ acres I garden by myself. Hubby does not appreciate gardening what so ever! I so appreciate you and everything you do. Breath of fresh air you are, we obviously all enjoy watching you & your family while learning. Thank you.
I really appreciate you showing us the difference between 1st year and mature plants. There are those of us who are just starting to garden, who could benefit from seeing what we are starting out with and what will eventually happen. Thank you.
Hi Laura, Love your Channel. I’ve been subscribed for 2 almost 3 years now and never miss a video. Yours is the First one that comes up at 7am here in Dallas, Tx and I’m awake and ready to watch, lol. I’m saving this video when I’m off to buy more perennials I will open this up while and pick some of these items. Isn’t it Time for another Thrifting Spree with Mom? I so look forward to these as well. Your Mom is just Precious and I Love watching you two together. I laugh every time you try on Hats. I can’t pull hats off but y’all can. Much Love from Dallas, Tx
Even though I watch your videos daily, I remain greatly impressed by your accomplishments! I thoroughly enjoy seeing all the layers of color, texture, size, and just overall beauty of your gardens. You are most definitely in your element! Aaron, too. Thanks for sharing your wealth of beauty and knowledge of gardening in a very real way.
Absolutely beautiful plants. I have become an echinacea lover this year. Planted echinacea last year and foliage was all that grew. This year the echinacea really showed off with many blooms that the birds and pollinators love!! Thanks for all you do!!
I love how your gardens are looking. It is amazing the transformation your property has taken since y’all have moved there. I don’t say thank you enough, so THANK YOU! I know filming all of this adds to the hard work that you’re already doing, but just know IT IS APPRECIATED!
I have 3 russian sage in my garden. 1 one them has yellowing at the base and about 1/2 the way up. What causes this? Is it getting too much water? I only water about once a week (in zone 7a)
I am a huge fan of perennials! I tuck in annuals and enjoy the color in summer and I fuss over my perennials. I enjoyed this tour of your garden as well as all of the information! I hope your mom is doing well and the surgery is good and she recovers quickly! PS: The stone pathway is looking great - even in the early days/practice lay-out phase!
Your comment at the end of this video on how it's a constant process was wonderful to hear. I know this may sound funny, but I'd really never thought of 'moving' a plant until I saw your videos. I would just keep wondering why it wasn't doing well.. Thank you so much. Writing from Zone 6 b... I think..
Laura, you have SUCH a good eye for colour-combinations. They’re largely harmonious blends- I’d be interested to see your approach to ‘clashy’ colours. Lovin’ your work! 💜🧡
This gave me such good ideas for a sun area that I am just starting. Good to see how they go from young plants to maturity-beautiful. Love the little girl statue😊
I love my Echinacea!❤ They were super beautiful this summer. My first year to no dead head as you suggested and I love the way they look. Thank you for showing more ideas. Your show has become my every day ritual.
Wow! You totally have me enamored with your edging of your beds that sits right up against the turf. Very nice! How often do you need to address the edge to keep it so sharp and crisp? Good job on the grass, Turf Master Aaron! I'm not sure if I can continue watching the videos because I don't have enough room for all the plants I say 'Oooooo...I need to get that!' Thanks again for all your videos! I truly enjoy my mornings with Laura and Aaron. ♥️😊♥️
Everything looks so pretty! I planted platinum blonde this year it’s really unique with its variegation. This area is developing fast your hard work is paying you back.😁🌞👏
Thank you Laura for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. Your blessed to have a husband that shares your vision. Seeing your little family grow as your garden grows is a blessing to us.
Love these kind of vids because it visually helps me remember types. And now that summer is turning the corner, when the perennials go on sale, I'll know how to select some bargains. Thank you!
Well you taught me something new today Laura. I've had this flower in the garden that I never could figure out what it was but the bees love it. My plant app says it's oregano and I said ' no ' what a stupid app 🤣. Well, I'm wrong, the app is correct because your video shows the exact same plant as mine!! New gardener and still learning 😊. I'm so happy to know I have an ornamental oregano plant. Thanks for your knowledge.
You inspire me to work on my yard. I’ve lived here for 20 years and did very little cause I just didn’t know what to do. After finding u many years ago, I feel like a pro…lol!!! I give u full credit for my front yard!! It’s an extremely slow process but it’s getting there and now thinking of future things to do in my back yard. Thank u so much!!!! Love u guys!!! From Ohio!! 👋🏼
I find it so enjoyable how excited you get about the pollinators. I love seeing nature in it's fullest glory. Thanks for sharing. Everyday you give new ideas and information.
This was really sweet for me. I had to put to sleep my 16yr old kitty Lily on Wednesday. She was my sweet baby girl and I miss her so much. We ended up burying her in our backyard near our little arbor and our small vegetable garden. She’s in a sunny spot which she loved. I went to the garden centre and put a daylily called entrapment. The lady that served me was really nice and gave me one with buds and yesterday it started blooming. It melted my heart. Your video really helped me and it was like a sign she’s ok. Thank you so much Laura and everyone. You’ve taught me so much on how to garden and your sweet tone helps on days like this.
I watched this twice because I loved looking at the background and how much the South property has grown and changed! The trees and all the layering looks fantastic! The lawn looks fabulous and the edging is perfect! Thank you for your inspiring videos! From Susan in Western Washington!
Laura! Your videos absolutely make my heart sing a happy, happy song of thanksgiving! Thank you for investing heart and soul into your beautiful property - - - and then sharing the knowledge with us! So inspired to attempt to create replicas on our little 4 acres here in southwestern Missouri! God bless!
In your garden all Your Plants look beautiful, especially lavenders! You are Amazing and your garden too. In my garden I prefer petunias. Greetings from Flowers Zone Albania 🇦🇱
I agree on the heliopsis color, they are striking just like their annual cousins. Perfect time of year for sunflower yellow, and I too tend to favor a more subdued color palette generally. I think they pair perfectly with anything purple-the opposite side of the color wheel. ❤️
Good morning Laura, everything is looking fabulous!! I really got some great ideas this morning from your garden as I always do!!! Hope you have a wonderful day and I’ll be waiting for tomorrow’s video!
I'm in Utah, where we also know the definition of a dry heat! Was in TN a month ago and the humidity was horrid!! I will take a dry heat over a humid heat any day!! Love the perennials, which will be perfect for one of my garden's redesign next year!
Hello my friend. This is more than just a video, you put love and passion into it. Great job! Thanks for sharing this video! Always believe in yourself and keep doing what you love, good luck! 🌷🌸🌻👍
These were some great drought tolerant perennials for full sun areas. And I like that most of them can be sheared back and produce a 2nd and 3rd flush of blooms.
Good Morning! 🌞🌹I live in the Midwest & you hit the nail on the head about the high humidity making our temperatures unbearable! Right now you can see the moisture in the air! 😳 I do love all the plants you featured & do have a lot of those plants planted in my gardens!! 😃🥰🌻🌸🌿🤍💚💜💛
Best video in awhile. So amazing to have actual examples in your garden instead of having to rely on images. Almost a mini garden tour! Loved every minute of it. It’s very interesting the difference in growing environments. I’m an experienced gardener here in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I’m told we’re zone 6, but my growth on plants that you’ve mentioned is so drastically different. My 2 year old denim and lace, in optimum conditions is only a foot tall. I can’t get a hardy hibiscus to bloom for the life of me. However, I never have to cut back my cat mint as it blooms non stop all summer! We may be the same zone but very different growing conditions. I find that fascinating.
Thank you Laura and Aaron for your wonderful videos!! I have learned so much and get so much joy out of watching your garden grow. Do you think when you get ready to divide your echinacea and heliopsis you could take us along? Thank you for all your wisdom and joy!
AWESOME garden! I tried to take notes... you covered so much ground, THANK YOU~ amazing girl! You have such great energy! The Tour was nothing short of Wonderful!!!!
Thank you for showing the plants in their first year. I am an impatient gardener and sometimes think it was my fault when planted but I just need to give the perennials time. Also, love seeing the “shade” full sun plants that aren’t thriving in the partial shade. I have some plants to move! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing! I’m in central Texas and our temps the past month have been 103+ degrees. It gets very hot (90+) by 10am so all my gardening is done first thing in the morning or after 8:30 pm. I’m a newer gardener and didn’t put two and two together that just because a plant likes full sun, it will do well with intense heat. Even our part shade plants are crispy because they get morning sun but that morning sun is still 90+ degrees. I’m moving some plants around after taking photos of what’s in the sun vs shade from midday to sunset.
Jen...I'm in the Austin/Round Rock area...having good luck with temporary shades. Tacking shade cloth onto trellises and shading the plants from lethal afternoon burn.
I live in Texas right out side of Fort Worth. 109 the last couple of days with high humidity. I really need things to grow and thrive! Thank you for showing that things besides humans can grow in such harsh environments! 4 years go I found your channel with zero plants outside. Now we have a beautiful living space because you gave me the confidence to grow again. I was raised in a Floral shop in Pampa Texas 60 years ago. And lost the ability to love what I was trying to grow when I started my own place to grow. You have touched so many lives both young and old. Thank you for sharing your sweet family and love of growing all things, even broken hearts who happen upon your channel! Much love and Good vibes to you and your family.
I was just about to say it's almost high desert here in Texas. My yard looks like I have oases where I'm watering young trees and plants.
Hi Cherri. I live here in Dallas on the southeast side. These high 103-109 temps in July have taken a major toll now on my plants and St. Augustine lawns.

Just keep in mind that it’s not humid where Laura lives so it may get hot but plants can still breathe. I’m in GA and we don’t get up into 100’s but the humidity is what makes it tough on plants
I hear you about the heat Cherri! I am East of you near Gainesville, TX! Laura has been so inspirational!
I’m In Dallas and first year gardening, I picked a tough one to start :)
Laura tickles me....giving us a wonderful tour, then "oh, I have a space there, I need to plant something there!" That was so fun!!!
I second that 🤣
As she was showing that last bit I was thinking, "oh look, Laura missed a spot!" Then she said she had a place for a plant😆! I love how she loves to fill every space with beauty!
I love these category videos, but you walking around and showing off different varities in your own garden? That's another level. More please!
I’m so happy to see your post each morning. My life is difficult lately and it really helps to know you are going to post each day. It’s good to see your cheerful face and beautiful garden (and the kids and kitties and of course, Aaron ❤️). I wish you as much joy as you bring to so many.
Wishing you some brighter days ahead 🤗
I wish you all the best 💕
I had to chuckle when Laura said, "When I come across this variety again," she would buy extra of it. You'd think that Proven Winners would send her that plant immediately! Her edging around all the beds is immaculate. I'm experiencing that gardening is a fun process, and I am already planning for what changes I need to make this fall. I have been at gardening only since I started watching GA a year ago. It makes me so happy when I am out in my flower beds and I get compliments from people all the time. I've learned so much of it from Laura! Thank you...
I agree. Also PW should be like “Your wish is my command garden queen “😀
PW could use her greenhouse as a distribution centre!
@@rhodealexandre6583 Totally agree
When you say at the end of the video, “ I hope you found it helpful,” boy oh boy did it ever! Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing perennials at first year planting and then more established plants (2-4) seasons later! That gives me SUCH encouragement as I look at many of these same perennials I’ve planted this past year! Love videos like this…and maybe it should have been top 15-20, and not 10! Lol!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right!? My tiny new Veronica, catmint, and a salvia are all so sad and little. Or they are dead. 🤣
3:30 I can't take my eyes off of that beautifully cut grass edge. To keep mine looking like that, I do a vertical cut with the string trimmer every time I mow. I would love to see a video showing how you maintain the edge.
Me too! Hard to take my eyes away 😆
Aaron has mentioned that he keeps the edge cut with the weedeater too…
I think she she done this in the past.
I believe that I saw a video where they initially used a straight edge spade to edge the grass, then maintain it with a string trimmer turned on it's side.
We love getting here early enough to say Good Morning to the GA community! Good 🌄 Morning! 😀
When you film the south garden, I always think how beautiful those “new home” folks’ borrowed view will be!
Sending the best to your Mom. 🙏🌸
I love these kind of videos but you doing this by walking through your own gardens was PERFECT! Looking at a picture is great but seeing it in a practical application make it so much better.
Thank you, thank you, for reminding us to have patience after planting and then showing us the growth rate between new plantings, yearlings and well established plants. I so often become discouraged when looking at my garden wondering if it will ever look filled in but then Laura says ‘be patient’ and I take a deep breathe and relax in anticipation. Thank you again for always giving us encouragement in every single video you share!
Greetings, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 It is climbing to 90°F high with 80% humidity and it only drops to high 70's at night and still high humidity. We are watering early everyday to keep the plants alive. We are getting a few showers each week.
Everything looks ready for a flower shop in your garden. 🌼
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
I'm in zone 9b in Arizona and we're going to hit 108+ today but our humidity is only 45%. It mostly just feels like an oven that sucks all of the moisture out of you when you walk outside
Hey, zone 9b here too, in Orlando by the airport(Lake Nona). 😊. Thinking I really need those Cantaloupe Echinacea, 😀
I love the tone on Lauras voice when she says: “aren’t those gorgeous” or “so pretty” I can totally relate, I say the same things 😆Love it them all 😂
Thanks for watching
Leave me a msg I’ve got something essential to share ⬆️📩....
I adore how you educate us on keeping the gardens fresh with new blooms! God sure is so good to us to give us all the plants and the fine details of each plant to enjoy and you Laura teach us how to be successful with encourage and educating us. .Much appreciation to our LORD & the wisdom and love HE planted in your heart.
I'm so glad you showed us how the plants looked the first year!! That's one of the hardest things for me. I really want to plant more than I need and closer together than is necessary because I want them to look good right away. It's partly lack of confidence I think. Patience 💚
Laura the beautiful ornament grasses in background❤️Don’t forget about all the beautiful grasses! Grasses never take a break, no dead heading, cut back only with winter clean up and wave to us a year!
I love seeing those close-ups of the pollinators; my yard hosts a bumblebee nursery and I'm working to attract more!
*bumblebee nursery* Love it. I hope my garden will become that kind of nursery!
last year I planted 10 different types of echinacea in my front garden. It's amazing to look at from the office window.
Morning everyone! I’m in NC zone 7b and todays high is 88 with 91% humidity 😅 This video is just what I needed since I am currently working on my backyard that is on a hill in full sun. This is my 1st year in my house and so far I have been working on making the hill usable and now with some terracing I can start to look for plants and flowers! I’m sure most will have to wait until next year, but I’m using your videos as inspiration and planning how to have interest all year round. Thanks GA and friends for everything!
Hope others comment too, if the hill is on full sun, wonder you can grow grapes. Laura is the best
Hey I am in NC zone 8A. Hortube with Jim Putnum has videos for hill planting if you've not seen any of his video's. And he is in Raleigh.
@@peony7967 that’s a good idea!
I’m getting ready to re-do several garden spaces and this video is very helpful. I love having the perennials in one video I can reference without making a list that I’ll inevitably lose. Thanks!

It seems we are Hot across the US right now. This is a perfectly timed video for us 😀
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day
That cantaloupe coneflower is gorgeous! I'm in TX, Zone 9a, so I can't wait to get my hands on some!!! Thanks for sharing your list with us.
I just bought some! They look better in person too!!
Your echinacea are stunning! I am going to have to add some to my garden 😍
I wish they sis as well for me. The fancy varieties usually die by end of summer, I have ONE plain pink that stays with me.
I added the Daisy Mays. They can take the heat plus they bloom continuously. You can save the seeds. They are Perennials and Proven Winners outdid themselves with this plant. Three fi high and wide. I love daisies, an have five in a circle which has grown together and makes a huge statement in my garden.
Wow your garden has changed so much in a year. Everything looks great. I love watching the development! I hope your Mom is healing quickly!
Everything in your garden is looking so good. The color and texture combinations are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Also, how is your mom and how did her surgery go?
6:30 AM, CST🌻. Good morning Gardeners😎. Hope and pray everyone will have blessings today! Laura, love 💗 the perennials❤️❤️
Thanks for watching

I love that you showed the echinaceas that were just planted .
What a difference a year makes! Magnificence. Can’t wait for next summer.

Hi Laura, I'm in the heartland zone 6b. The temps have been high with humidity fairly high. It's been darn right unbearable. Right now at 7:53 am it's 82 degrees with 65% humidity & no breeze. Todays high is 106 with high humidity. It's been over 100 for some time now. Plants are suffering, I'm suffering, tomato plants have stopped setting, flowers are droopy no matter how much water they receive. I'm old & it's hard work. No rain in forever. The dog doesn't even want to go out..Dog days of summer! I start work outside early for 20 min. & come inside to cool off for half an hour. Then back at it. I have over 5+ acres I garden by myself. Hubby does not appreciate gardening what so ever! I so appreciate you and everything you do. Breath of fresh air you are, we obviously all enjoy watching you & your family while learning. Thank you.
Comparisons from the newly planted to established is very helpful!
I really appreciate you showing us the difference between 1st year and mature plants. There are those of us who are just starting to garden, who could benefit from seeing what we are starting out with and what will eventually happen. Thank you.
0:13 - that’s why I love my Beelicious Agastache. Just AMAZING bloomers!
There is nothing prettier than putting purple and yellow flowers together! My favorite!

You are most definitely in your element! Aaron, too. Thanks for sharing your wealth of beauty and knowledge of gardening in a very real way.
That garden area looked bare and sad last year, but you turned it into a beautiful garden.Thank you for sharing the joy.
Absolutely beautiful plants. I have become an echinacea lover this year. Planted echinacea last year and foliage was all that grew. This year the echinacea really showed off with many blooms that the birds and pollinators love!! Thanks for all you do!!
I love how your gardens are looking. It is amazing the transformation your property has taken since y’all have moved there. I don’t say thank you enough, so THANK YOU! I know filming all of this adds to the hard work that you’re already doing, but just know IT IS APPRECIATED!
Today here in South Georgia it is going to be 103 with 87 percent humidity so yeah hot have a blessed day
I have 3 russian sage in my garden. 1 one them has yellowing at the base and about 1/2 the way up. What causes this? Is it getting too much water? I only water about once a week (in zone 7a)
I am a huge fan of perennials! I tuck in annuals and enjoy the color in summer and I fuss over my perennials. I enjoyed this tour of your garden as well as all of the information! I hope your mom is doing well and the surgery is good and she recovers quickly! PS: The stone pathway is looking great - even in the early days/practice lay-out phase!
Great ideas for sunnier spots. Don’t y’all love how Laura always seems to find an empty spot…oh, I can tuck something in here. 🌸☀️🌺
Your comment at the end of this video on how it's a constant process was wonderful to hear. I know this may sound funny, but I'd really never thought of 'moving' a plant until I saw your videos. I would just keep wondering why it wasn't doing well.. Thank you so much. Writing from Zone 6 b... I think..
I love watching you share your gardens. I have learned so much about taking care of my plants. Love your enthusiasm.
Gorgeous plants! Thanks for mentioning them! No fuss, hands off plants are right up my alley! 🤗💗💜🤗
Laura, you have SUCH a good eye for colour-combinations. They’re largely harmonious blends- I’d be interested to see your approach to ‘clashy’ colours. Lovin’ your work! 💜🧡
Who else had to go check their weather app to see what your humidity level is?
93% for us here in Ny! 🥵
You looked so much cooler in that light colored top. 👍 Thanks for the 10 ideas!!
Looks like I am walking in Fairy land .Gorgeous show by all flowers
This gave me such good ideas for a sun area that I am just starting. Good to see how they go from young plants to maturity-beautiful. Love the little girl statue😊
I love my Echinacea!❤ They were super beautiful this summer. My first year to no dead head as you suggested and I love the way they look. Thank you for showing more ideas. Your show has become my every day ritual.
Wow! You totally have me enamored with your edging of your beds that sits right up against the turf. Very nice! How often do you need to address the edge to keep it so sharp and crisp? Good job on the grass, Turf Master Aaron! I'm not sure if I can continue watching the videos because I don't have enough room for all the plants I say 'Oooooo...I need to get that!' Thanks again for all your videos! I truly enjoy my mornings with Laura and Aaron. ♥️😊♥️
Thanks for watching

Everything looks so pretty! I planted platinum blonde this year it’s really unique with its variegation. This area is developing fast your hard work is paying you back.😁🌞👏
I run out of adjectives to describe all of the beauty.....super job Laura and Aaron
Your videos are a highlight of my day . Beautiful garden ☘ Beautiful flowers 🌼 Beautiful lady 👸 Tq for sharing this mini garden tour 🌷🌹🌷🌞🙏
Thank you Laura for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. Your blessed to have a husband that shares your vision. Seeing your little family grow as your garden grows is a blessing to us.
Good morning from South Carolina. I'm really happy to see all of the beautiful heat loving plants. I can't wait to plant some of these.
Morning coffee walk through your garden would be wonderful! One of my favorite things to do in my own garden. 🌸💚

All the flowers are doing great in the heat but Arron the grass is looking fabulous!
We have that right now 100 & 86% humidity. Just moving the sprinklers works up a sweat

Love these kind of vids because it visually helps me remember types. And now that summer is turning the corner, when the perennials go on sale, I'll know how to select some bargains. Thank you!

Well you taught me something new today Laura. I've had this flower in the garden that I never could figure out what it was but the bees love it. My plant app says it's oregano and I said ' no ' what a stupid app 🤣. Well, I'm wrong, the app is correct because your video shows the exact same plant as mine!! New gardener and still learning 😊. I'm so happy to know I have an ornamental oregano plant. Thanks for your knowledge.
Your grass looks beautiful! The kids will have a great time playing on the soft grass.
Good morning! In the heat of summer you can still have beautiful blooming plants. So many ideas.
I always enjoy your garden walks, and love the plant suggestions.
You inspire me to work on my yard. I’ve lived here for 20 years and did very little cause I just didn’t know what to do. After finding u many years ago, I feel like a pro…lol!!! I give u full credit for my front yard!! It’s an extremely slow process but it’s getting there and now thinking of future things to do in my back yard. Thank u so much!!!! Love u guys!!! From Ohio!! 👋🏼

Loved this!. A tour, real life plant profiles, ideas, Laura , pollinators, even tiny bit of kitty footage. Thank you!💚💚💚
Oh my gosh, Laura, you are the queen of flowers. 🌼 I get so much enjoyment from your knowledge. You make my day. Thank you!
I love it that you're showing us first year and second year growth in the same video, very inspiring !
I find it so enjoyable how excited you get about the pollinators. I love seeing nature in it's fullest glory. Thanks for sharing. Everyday you give new ideas and information.
So Beautiful LOVE the Cantaloupe Echinacea 💛🧡
Thank You for all you share!
Yep! Today in my area of Florida it is going to be 93° (which is not too bad,)but 93% humidity. :-) We just roll with it! 😂😂😂
This was really sweet for me. I had to put to sleep my 16yr old kitty Lily on Wednesday. She was my sweet baby girl and I miss her so much. We ended up burying her in our backyard near our little arbor and our small vegetable garden. She’s in a sunny spot which she loved. I went to the garden centre and put a daylily called entrapment. The lady that served me was really nice and gave me one with buds and yesterday it started blooming. It melted my heart. Your video really helped me and it was like a sign she’s ok. Thank you so much Laura and everyone. You’ve taught me so much on how to garden and your sweet tone helps on days like this.
I watched this twice because I loved looking at the background and how much the South property has grown and changed! The trees and all the layering looks fantastic! The lawn looks fabulous and the edging is perfect! Thank you for your inspiring videos!
From Susan in Western Washington!
Laura! Your videos absolutely make my heart sing a happy, happy song of thanksgiving! Thank you for investing heart and soul into your beautiful property - - - and then sharing the knowledge with us! So inspired to attempt to create replicas on our little 4 acres here in southwestern Missouri! God bless!
In your garden all Your Plants look beautiful, especially lavenders! You are Amazing and your garden too. In my garden I prefer petunias. Greetings from Flowers Zone Albania 🇦🇱
I agree on the heliopsis color, they are striking just like their annual cousins. Perfect time of year for sunflower yellow, and I too tend to favor a more subdued color palette generally. I think they pair perfectly with anything purple-the opposite side of the color wheel. ❤️
Good morning Laura, everything is looking fabulous!! I really got some great ideas this morning from your garden as I always do!!! Hope you have a wonderful day and I’ll be waiting for tomorrow’s video!
👏🏻❤️Thanks for viewing and contributing!

I'm in Utah, where we also know the definition of a dry heat! Was in TN a month ago and the humidity was horrid!! I will take a dry heat over a humid heat any day!! Love the perennials, which will be perfect for one of my garden's redesign next year!
Hello my friend. This is more than just a video, you put love and passion into it. Great job! Thanks for sharing this video! Always believe in yourself and keep doing what you love, good luck! 🌷🌸🌻👍
These were some great drought tolerant perennials for full sun areas. And I like that most of them can be sheared back and produce a 2nd and 3rd flush of blooms.
Good Morning! 🌞🌹I live in the Midwest & you hit the nail on the head about the high humidity making our temperatures unbearable! Right now you can see the moisture in the air! 😳 I do love all the plants you featured & do have a lot of those plants planted in my gardens!! 😃🥰🌻🌸🌿🤍💚💜💛
Best video in awhile. So amazing to have actual examples in your garden instead of having to rely on images. Almost a mini garden tour! Loved every minute of it. It’s very interesting the difference in growing environments. I’m an experienced gardener here in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I’m told we’re zone 6, but my growth on plants that you’ve mentioned is so drastically different. My 2 year old denim and lace, in optimum conditions is only a foot tall. I can’t get a hardy hibiscus to bloom for the life of me. However, I never have to cut back my cat mint as it blooms non stop all summer! We may be the same zone but very different growing conditions. I find that fascinating.
Thank you Laura and Aaron for your wonderful videos!! I have learned so much and get so much joy out of watching your garden grow. Do you think when you get ready to divide your echinacea and heliopsis you could take us along? Thank you for all your wisdom and joy!
People panic about dividing perennials, but it’s really as simple as “dig it up, chop the rootball in half, and replant your smaller plants”. 🙂
AWESOME garden! I tried to take notes... you covered so much ground, THANK YOU~ amazing girl! You have such great energy! The Tour was nothing short of Wonderful!!!!
The wait can be discouraging but, gardening teaches us patience and it is a good way to slow down and appreciate everything in life.
Love your videos, your a natural for this!❤
Thank you for showing the plants in their first year. I am an impatient gardener and sometimes think it was my fault when planted but I just need to give the perennials time. Also, love seeing the “shade” full sun plants that aren’t thriving in the partial shade. I have some plants to move! Thank you!
Thank you for giving us so much substance in your daily videos. Your love for plants is very contagious!
Good morning! Everything is looking soooo gorgeous! 😍 Thank you for so much beauty and sun early in the morning to start the day out right!
👏🏻❤️Thanks for viewing and contributing!

Good Morning from Gaylord, MI. Always a pleasure to see what's going on in Laura's Garden. Thank you so much for the tour. Just Beautiful!
I so appreciated this tour! Seeing the perennials that can go the distance is super helpful.
I’m in love with the Supreme Cantaloupe! We’re burning up down here in Texas, so I’m going to get them next year.
Loved seeing what’s flowering in your garden at the moment guys. Thanks for the mini tour. 👍👍🌸🌺😊
Thank you for sharing! I’m in central Texas and our temps the past month have been 103+ degrees. It gets very hot (90+) by 10am so all my gardening is done first thing in the morning or after 8:30 pm.
I’m a newer gardener and didn’t put two and two together that just because a plant likes full sun, it will do well with intense heat. Even our part shade plants are crispy because they get morning sun but that morning sun is still 90+ degrees. I’m moving some plants around after taking photos of what’s in the sun vs shade from midday to sunset.
Jen...I'm in the Austin/Round Rock area...having good luck with temporary shades. Tacking shade cloth onto trellises and shading the plants from lethal afternoon burn.
