And to think..all this started from some fairy garden diy’s in the back of your Townhouse!! Incredible journey and we all get to come along!! Great job guys!

Laura, if you had any idea what you give us! DAILY!! You have changed my life in SO many ways!! I went from down and depressed in 2020 to nearly a master gardner with all you (and now others as well) have taught me!! Mostly YOU Laura! If you could just see my yard and how it's changed since finding you!!! I also now have a cut flower business on the side as well! Jenn's Backyard Boquets!! You've changed my life, Laura, in so many positive ways!! Everyone in my family knows who you are now! You two deserve this!! More than you'll ever know!!!

Laura, I remember your saying “I just want my home to feel like the place I would escape to. You wouldn’t desire a vacation because your oasis is your home.” This purchase makes that reality come to life. We subs are so happy for you. Your thanking everyone for supporting you was such a gift. You have to know that you are truly a gift to us. There is so much negativity when we turn on the tv. Your channel is a nice resting spot. You never talk about politics, war and all that business. Thank you!! We love you, Aaron, Benjamin, Samantha, your Mom, Dad and Monica. Your Mom and Dad truly raised you right. Love and prayers for continued health, wealth and happiness!! Thank you to Aaron for sharing your sweet wife with KZfaq. I think you knew we would love her as much as you do!! You’re right!! Thank you both for being the best role model parents. Wishing everyone a Happy 2024!! God bless!!🙏❤️🌸🇺🇸

I love when Aaron talks from behind the camera. That is very natural and makes sense. It adds information and it's pleasant to see you two interact.

I used to ask Santa for a horse every Christmas, and of course it never happened. When my husband and I moved to a small farm in Virginia my wish came true! I decided to foster horses for a rescue, giving undesirable horses a loving home. I asked a lot of questions, and did a lot of research. I loved every minute of it. They all ended up in good homes-one as a trail horse, one in a therapy program and the others returned to her owner after her cancer went into remission.

Is anyone else jumping for joy right now? I am so excited to see how the new properties develop. I am so happy for you both, thank you for taking us on this journey with you.

Congratulations on the new property!! As a horse person I wanted to give a few suggestions as you develop that area and the barn for horses. 1. No Autumn Blaze Maples anywhere near the pasture. I love a red blazing maple in the fall just like you, however the red leaves are poisonous to horses. So plant a maple thats leaves go to a beautiful yellow in the fall instead. (Sorry for the bad news) Also any tree in the pasture area that horses can get to that have a Y trunk with the Y at or near head level, either get rid of that tree or cut off one of the two Y juncture. I had a friend who's horse got its head stuck in the Y and broke its neck when it panicked trying to get free. 2. Don't get rid of the light posts around the basket ball area. You will want to keep those and relocate them to your arena area. If you or your kids end up riding competitively they/you will be riding at night and those lights will be a godsend. 3. Pasture grass - plant a really good 3 way orchard grass and water it. You can harvest and bale that grass for your horses and not have to buy it on the open market. A good 3 way orchard grass per bale price right now is $25 to $30 a bale. Until you get horses, you can cut, bale and sell the bales at your parents garden center. Its extremely hard to find high quality 3 way orchard grass. 4. Barn ... if the barn doesn't currently have electricity, put that on the project list. You will want ligts in the barn, the stalls and the paddocks. If the barn doesn't have rain gutters, put that on the project list too as well as a French Drain system to flow the water away from the barn/paddocks and out into the pasture. If the barn sits at the same level as the surrounding land you will also want to do some earth movement to have the barn and paddocks higher than the surrounding land otherwise your paddocks and barn area will be a big muddy swampy mess when the snow melts or after heavy rain storms. Stall, paddocks and barn isleway .... rubber stall matting, and a roof over the paddocks. Nothing sucks more than sholving horse poop in a paddock in the rain. Having a roof over the paddocks keeps them dry, and provides shade for the horses in the summer. Rubber matting in the paddocks and stalls makes cleaning them so much easier. Of course in the stall you will be laying bedding on the wall to wall rubber Matt's. Don't use straw ... use sawdust shavings or pelleted bedding. If there isn't water lines to the barn, add that to the project list. Nothing sucks more than dragging a hose to fill a bucket in a stall. Instead you can install automatic waterers. Carve out an area in the barn to build a feed room and a tack room. 5. Wash rack - figure out a spot for your wash rack. That same spot can also be where you groom your horse and where your horse has appointments with the shoer and the vet. 6. Horse trailer -- side load all the way. Don't get a straight load. 7. Arena -- when you build it make sure the footing is done right. Also add in shredded rubber. It keeps the dust down and makes for great footing to work your horse on. Visit some horse facilities and talk to reputable companies that install arenas. A properly built area will be a worthy investment. 8. Entrance Gates to the property are important to ensure that is the horse get loose they don't end up on the road after going down the driveway and it keeps anyone off the property who may want to steal your horses, tack, trailer, etc. I know you guys have talked about installing entrance gates for security. Definitely have them on the todo list. ❤❤

I stated watching your videos one winter while post partum with my second child. I had terrible depression and would lay in bed nursing her and watching your videos. I would stare my bedroom window, watching the seasons change. Come spring/summer I felt like myself again, like a Lil seed sprouting. That was 2017. These videos are so much more than just content to watch, they are hope. I know I shouldn't expect anything or put pressure one you guys, but I really hope they don't ever stop. Even if they did, I'd probably just go backwards and watch thru old ones again. Each of them is so intentional and educational. But in the recent years, feeling apart of the Journey and watching the family grow, it is a highlight to my days. Thank you and happy new year

Congratulations! The large stall without a paddock is a "Mare's Stall" or a "Birth Stall". It is more protected from animal or weather pressure.

Oh, I had hoped you could expand in both directions! Your hints kept my fingers crossed for you, especially knowing you had the extra feet next to your driveway. The last piece to heaven would be to have your brother or sister move into the empty house so that gate gets a lot of use. Golf carts for everyone! ❤ Happy New Year! 🎉

You both are young, so energetic and have the money to build this dream. We elders just sit here and watch the process ... Congrats!

The excitement in your voices is such a joy to hear - and your viewers are so excited for you, too! I love how these land acquisition opportunities have lined up to help move you further along to the realization of your dreams for your property. Congratulations, Laura & Aaron!

Congratulations! Your neighbours are so lucky to have a “nature park”in their back yard. 🌲Happy New Year🌲

So exciting! I’m glad you have Bethany to help with the horses. I’ve had horses my whole life. I can say horses saved my life. As a child going through trauma my horse was ALWAYS my refuge. I’m 64 and still ride. In fact I’m going trail riding today! Congratulations!

🎉 congratulations, how amazing to have been able to acquire the rest of the surrounding property! 2 in and out stalls and a foaling stall in the barn will give you a great start. As an equine vet tech, I look forward to seeing you guys bring animals into the mix and combine my loves of animals and gardening 😊 Happy New Year, I can’t wait to see what it brings

Being a fan since I was about 7 you guys have really taught me a lot about plants now I'm 16 and still watching this amazing garden evolve thank you for posting thorough the past 10 years. Hope you guys have a great new year with good health and keep up the good work!!!

There goes Laura living my best life! Congrats! I’m so excited for all of us, we really share in your joy, I couldn’t stop smiling during the whole tour ❤

What a legacy you guys are building for your family. I am sure that Benjamin and Samantha will have the fondest of memories just as you do for your mom and dad’s place.

How exciting that you’re finally able to share with all your viewers! I love the idea of continuing the maples up the lane and the possibility of new livestock on the land.

You can just hear the excitement in their voices! I can't wait to watch what you guys do!

Oh, WOW!!!! This is so exciting. I caught onto your hints, but I just thought you were putting a barn in the dirt lands for a horse. You and Aaron are improving the lands there in your town and I'm sure all your neighbors appreciate both of you so much. I can't wait to see all the changes this next year. ❤😊

Bravo! Look at what all your hours of filming, gardening, editing, planning and work have gotten you! Your team is awesome. So happy for you. Looking forweard to many many videos to come on your entire property. Go Garden Answer!

Very exciting times ahead for your family.

Finally, a natural pool will fit perfectly fit in Laura’s garden 😅

Congratulations on the new purchase. 12 acres is fabulous in a neighbourhood setting. You certainly deserve everything you worked extremely hard to achieve for all your family. I love watching what you have achieved so far and will certainly enjoy following on in the future.

Oh Laura you got your horse barn!! So happy for you 💚 congratulations!

Our teens would die to have a lighted court! They play till midnight all summer with our porch lights. As long as the basketballs are bouncing the whole neighborhood is happy.

Congratulations on the gaining that last piece of property, it'll really make a huge difference if you guys want large animals. It's gonna be so beautiful... you two always make everything more beautiful. Happy New Year.

Wow. It just never ends! You guys have so much potential for new plantings and developments. It's almost overwhelming, but Laura must be in heaven.

Oh my goodness! Congratulations you guys!!🎉 I went running in to my husband after watching this video, exclaiming "they got more land! They got more land!" To which my husband replied," WHO got more land??!" Of course he knows all about Laura & Aaron because he listens to your videos nearly every morning as we both get ready for work. I'm just so excited for you and your children, and we will all enjoy watching and learning with each video you make in developing this new plot. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. May Blessings abound. 😊

Rollerskating on the court would be great for the kids

Laura & Aaron, how exciting! Looking back I do recognize the "hints" you two made about this property. If I were one of your neighbors I'd love what you've done for the neighborhood by adding so much natural beauty and trees, and one surprise after another. All I can say is I so look forward to watching you "develop" this new addition to the "homestead." What a legacy you are creating for your children! Thank you for taking us along on this journey! (A tennis court! Love it!)

Wow!!! Super exciting! So happy you were able to get more land-something you can pass on to your children and will be a terrific place to have family reunions. I gladly support your channel because you provide us with so much useful information and gardening advice, and allow us a glimpse into your life. 😊

This is so exciting! You two have come a long way and worked diligently to get where you are now! What a fun year of projects and videos to look forward to! Thank you for sharing your exciting news with us!

Aaron and Laura… I think taking basketball court lights out may not be the best idea. Having teen boys that loved playing with friends in the summer evenings was such great fun for them. I think Benjamin and Samantha Grace will love it too. Anyway just a thought from a mom that had her kids totally enjoyed lighted hoop time. And of course stopping at a reasonable time for the sake of the neighbors is exactly right.

Aaron, Laura! What a wonderful way to ring the New Year 2024! With God blessings to you guys with the purchase of new property! I’m sure that you two will manage your blessings to something beautiful! I praise God for your new addition! It is a joy to see Laura’s joyful face! Thanks for sharing with all of us this wonderful time of happiness! 💥🎊🥂🍾🌺🎈💟🏡🌲

Congrats! Will love to see how you transform the new property. Note: horses and trees sometimes aren't a good mix. Horses can chew on trees, so just think of that when placing where trees will be. Also some tree leaves are poisonous to horses. I know you will do your research. Love this for you and your family, so exciting.

Well this is exciting to say the least!!! You have been such an incredible wealth of knowledge for me over the years if you need any help whatsoever for the future equestrian plans don’t hesitate to reach out! I can’t wait to see these spaces come to life 😍 big congratulations 🥂

This is AMAZING! So excited for you. As a parent and gardner…top tip would be…to wait on removing the lights! Your kids are still so young….you may love those court lights in future!!!

Congratulations! Two things: 1) Stripe the tennis court part for pickleball. You, your kids, your parents and your wider family will love it. 2) Please contact your local native plant organization about wildflowers. You could be so influential about the importance of natives!

WOW!!! It is going to be so incredibly fun to watch this all develop!! Congratulations Laura and Aaron. What a joy to hear your excitement!!

Congratulations to you two!! I know how exciting this is and seeing the perma-smile on your face, Laura, is such a warm feeling. You deserve it. Happy for you!

Laura sounds so excited! I love that

😮wow! Heard the hints but I was just trying to make my containers look like Laura’s! 😊😂 So incredibly proud of your success Laura and Aaron. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. So inspiring.😊😊

How wonderful!! Congratulations to you and your children's children. This is a beautiful legacy.🎉

Congratulations on another successful acquisition…we can’t wait to see what all you accomplish in the New Year! May the LORD continue to bless you, and your sweet family! Your hard work, love for one another, and grateful hearts are a blessing to each one of us! Happy 2024!!🎆🎆🎆

WOW,ALOT HAS HAPPEN IN YOUR LIVE'S, I STARTED WATCHING YOU BEFORE YOU GOT MARRIED,,,YOUR FIRST HOUSE,,I FEEL I'M PART OF YOUR FAMILY,,HAHA,,SMILES,,BEAUTIFUL FAMILES,,,,LOVE YOU GOING SHOPPING WITH YOUR MOM,HER LAUGHING I CATCH,,,LOL MAKES A HAPPY DAY FOR ME TO WATCH,,YOU ALL,,,NANCY FROM TENNESSEE, I STILL WEAR YOUR GARDEN SHIRT,,,,,HAVE A BLESSED DAY,,

Laura and Aaron you have worked your butts off on the channel to expand your land. How exciting a barn. You have a HILL..... Yeah.

All the not so subtle winks made me laugh every time. Congratulations! So many exciting days to follow. I can’t wait to see the animals you and the kids get to care for, and of course all the garden spaces too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

When Laura showed us the gate in the fence who else thought that someone close (maybe Monica's) might be buying the house?? So much fun! Congratulations Laura and Aaron! More space for the dream stream!!! I have a stream that runs through our 10 acres and we spend so much time at it. What a dream this is! So happy for you!

CONGRATULATIONS & Happy New Year ! 🍭🪅🎉 I was soo excited to see you standing in front of your new barn, a huge item on your bucket list ! 👏🏻👍 I know you would do this, but I’m passing on advice given to me . When your planting trees around your pasture, make sure you research the safety of them for animals ! I never knew red maples were poison to horses & it might be if the leaves are dead . 🤔🧐🤷‍♀️( I thought that meant red leaves, but no, the red veining in the leaves) If we ever had a sick horse, the 1st question would be the type of trees that they may have been in touch with ! Love & Hugs to you & your family ! 🙏❤️🙏 I know you get ugly letters , this is not intended to be one. I would be heart broken if you took it that way! Just a note before you start planning & planting. 😉

Such a blessing from God! 🙏🏾 I'm so happy for you🎉 congratulations.

Hi Laura and Aaron. Congratulations! The space connected to your indoor stalls is called an outdoor paddock or outdoor stall! Happy New Year!

Congratulations! It’s so incredibly exciting to watch your dreams become reality! ❤

This new area should be nick-named "Russel Land!" Congrats! Very happy for you!

Paul ? ... Bethany ? ... " Hey guys, how's it going ? " ~ Laura They Say, 'Timing Is Everything' ... Well, Now Is The Time. (wink)

Best end of year video!!!!! Congratulations!! Can’t wait to see how you guys develop all of the new land ❤

Congratulations!!!! Watching your excitement and hearing Aaron's is so awesome. Can't wait to see how you guys transform it all. Happy New Year to your family.

Congratulations!!! smart move, you can never go wrong buying dirt.

Would be neat to build a large earth sheltered greenhouse on that hill.

Plant more native plants between the trees! With irrigation you'll see how lovely everything is :D. You could be a stop on Monarch migration. Congratulations. So excited to see what you do with the new land.

Y'all got the basketball court!!!!! No wonder y'all weren't too concerned about the area behind the pond where you could see the court! 😂

It will interesting to see how they keep trees alive when the horses and cows rub on them.

Congratulations Laura and Aaron! We know this has been the wish for a long time. Your property now looks cohesive and complete. Can’t wait to see the transformation and for knowledge/teaching which you guys will share. I have learned SO much from the two of you. Happy New Year!

Congratulations!! You guys deserved all the success. You are such an inspiration for somebody like me who is just dreaming of flowers that I could grow 9 years ago. I started my dried flower business late this year and have been successful on my first gig. I will be starting my fresh cutflower business this coming spring. All of these successes that we are experiencing wouldn't be possible if I had not followed you since the beginning of my own journey. Just know that you are changing lives that you might not be aware of. Thank you for all the knowledge, Laura and Aaron. I am always excited whenever you guys do those big trees shopping. Now, I will look forward to the "Let's go and shop for some horses and cows" shopping videos!!!🥰🥰

WhooHoo Congratulations we are all so excited for you guys!!! Bwahaha I got a crick in my neck watching this…every time the camera angle changed I was craning my neck trying to see around you, 😂😂😂

I’m so excited for you Laura❣️. You should totally get some Pygmy goats❣️. They are so sweet and so much fun❤️. Your kids will love taking care of them and playing with them❣️ Goats are awesome entertainment and KZfaq material. You can make platforms for them and the kids to climb on. I envision a total petting zoo here. 😊

You two never cease to amaze me. Hardest working KZfaqrs! Congratulations 🎉

I've been praying that you get that additional land to complete the lane back to your house. I am sooo happy for you. I was wondering if Aaron could give a detailed video on his thought process for deciding the infrastructure. I have a similar situation with raw land and am not sure where to begin. How do you decide where to put power outlets or where to trench. ect...

I am THRILLED for you both and can only imagine how hard it was to keep this under wraps! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us; the good, the bad, and the ugly. 😉 It is such a pleasure to know I can watch your channel not only for garden answers but to escape from what can be a divisive, sour environment at times. It’s very much appreciated. Wishing you and your family a very healthy and Happy New Year filled with much joy!

That's really a huge achievement, how far you've come in a short time, by being an AMAZING CHANNEL that we all feel so attached to! Here's to what is to come for you and for us, your fans!

So happy for you! Happy New Year!

So happy for you! Yup I noticed the hints but thought you'd share when you're able. 😊 We just moved to a new home, 22acres , 8 acres water, 10 acres pasture and the rest my play yard ! Can't wait to dive in next spring. 😊❤😊

Congratulations! 2024 will be such fun watching your vision come to life! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!🎉

WOWZER~. !!! I'm late to the party... with the holidays and the house full.... I'm way behind on KZfaq videos! Congratulations! What an amazing property you already had... and to add all of this? ! Just wow! It'll be fantastic. Can't wait to see the animals you will add to your family! Fantastic start to 2024!!!!!

How exciting for your family! All the more reason to build a cottage for Paul!!! I can’t wait to watch the progress!!!

Well, thank you for my late Christmas present. 😊😂 I kept going over where the land was, and then you showed the tennis court. My heart started racing, and I got so dang excited! I am so happy for you and Aaron!! Now I have more land to sit and enjoy the views. (In my head) You and Aaron have a barn like Jason and Brooke at Cog Hill Farm. Well, theirs is a little bit bigger than yours. You need a donkey, emu, cows, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, and goats. You already have the chickens. Benjamin and Samantha are going to love having all the land to explore 😊❤.

Congratulations🎉 Happy New Year!

So exciting!

This makes me so very happy. Congratulations! Not only to you and your family but to us as viewers. We can not wait to see what all of this goes. I have been watching since before Benjamin was born and I am just amazed at how much your channel has accomplished. Thank you for all that you do.

Congratulations!🎉 So very excited for you!!! This is so wonderful!!! Thank you for taking us along the journey with you!!! You continuously provide so much inspiration and joy!!! Blessings and Grace to you all!! Kimberly

Soooo happy for you guys!!!! congrats

Wow! Congratulations! This is so exciting to be able to see what wonderful projects are ahead. And you bought a hill. When I saw the drop off, I wondered what will Laura do with that hill......So happy for you both. You can hear the excitement and joy in both your voices. Marvelous.

Congrats, Aaron and Laura! As far as pasture, you can never have enough! 😉 ❤🐎❤

SO exciting!!

Absolutely amazing!

OK, who else expects to see Aaron & Laura acquiring and moving into the now empty house in the background? I can see them doing that so they can do a massive remodel on their own home. LOL

This is blowing my mind!!!!! Your boundaries have extended not only beyond your pond but behind the barn and greenhouse!!!!! Like a whole new world!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I would strongly encourage you to consider shade trees strategically placed for any live stock you might consider having in the future. Lack of shade in high heat would obviously be a problem. I’m guessing you’ve already thought about that. Good luck moving forward.

So exciting to see what you’ve been planning! Horses, cows! I love it! The videos will be even more fun. I can just envision all of you riding your horses across the pasture! Congratulations on this purchase! ❤

How much fun!!! ❤❤❤

Congratulations ❤ so much fun

Congratulations….you’ve always wanted this! What’s really cool is that you are buying back and re attaching some of the original farm land. Here comes the horses!

Congratulations Laura and Aaron! I watched on my phone and have to see this on my big monitor at home. Absolutely incredible achievement and I can’t wait for the next chapter in Garden Answer!🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations!!

This is so exciting!!

So here I am wondering if your four pots for the brick area have arrived, anxious to see what you picked out... and here you go and blow my mind with more property. How exciting it is to see what your plans are for it. Large or small, I so enjoy all of your projects. So happy for your family. friends, and co-workers to see the beauty and organization you will bring and most of all taking us along with you. Happy New Year to all.

I didn’t think your property could get any more magical, but here we go again! So HAPPY for you to start the NEW YEAR this way! Thanks to you and your crew for the great entertainment and education you provide.

Congratulations!
