It is so sweet of you to genuinely thank your viewers for the support and making the Hartley possible. THANK YOU for everything you have done to help teach, motivate and inspire thousands of new gardeners (like myself) to see what’s possible in their own spaces. You deserve that greenhouse and I’m thankful that we (your viewers) could help make it possible.

IDEA! How about putting a decorative towel bar in front of the sink with some pretty hand towels hanging on it. This would cover some of the pipes but add convenience for towels, as well. I absolutely LOVE your channel and have for years!! ♥️😊

Video Idea: As you were checking for spider mites on the plant at Home Depot I thought a great idea for a video would be to show the things to check for when buying plants, flowers, even vegetable plants. So many people may just have a “big box” store option where the quality might not be as good as a garden center and I think a video like this would be so helpful! Thanks!

How beautiful the Hartley is coming! I definitely would put the Christmas tree in the center so it would look magical from either side you are on in there. Also I would put a small refrigerator under the counter for the entertaining and cocktail parties you would like to have in there. Especially Christmas time when people like to come stop by for a visit and a a cocktail! It would be convenient. Summer as well for a cold lemonade😊.

For a "matching" saucer for your concrete pots, buy the spray-paint that has the 'stone look' in a similar grey and then spray the outside of the plastic saucers. It's not perfect but it's really good at not leaking (plastic) but really fools the eye as it's "blends" with the concrete pot. I even do this for terra cotta too, as the terra cotta saucers, not glazed, are notorious "ring makers" on wood lol. SO gorgeous , in LOVE with your Hartley.

You could put a small trickling fountain in the Hartley. Would be lovely to listen to the water when sipping on cocktails!

Congratulations Laura, I can’t think of a more deserving person than you to have the opportunity to realize your biggest dreams. You are such a grateful person for all the wonderful things that have come your way in life. I was so impressed with your appreciation of the sacrifices your parents made to give you piano lessons when you were a child, I’m sure you made your mom cry😉 Taking the time to very genuinely thank us , your followers, for making these dreams a reality is so sweet of you.. I’m sure I speak for many, we are grateful for you and Aaron for bringing us along your life journey. Your blessings in life are so deserving, thank YOU Laura❤️

Laura, my mother always used cute, attractive plates instead of the glaring plastic saucers. You can find random plates at yard sales. They could even have an imperfection or chip that won’t be noticed most likely.

Christmas tree right in the center! Imagine walking up to the Hartley and the door framing this beautifully decorated tree! I can’t even wait!

Not just a “pinch me” moment. I was getting a little choked up for you. You’ve waited so patiently for the time when you could actually set up/pot up plants in the Hartley and here you are! Such an exciting moment. Congratulations!

"Who wouldn't want to live in here. I would if I was a plant." Me too, Laura. Me too! The Hartley is beautiful!

Imagine sitting in the Hartley, reading a book and having tea on a cold rainy day! Ugh ny dream

Laura, here is an idea for a sink skirt: Look for a really elegant shower curtain,(the outside cloth part of a shower curtain), and cut it to the length you need and sew a pocket big enough for a tension rod. I figure if they are made for the shower area they can handle getting wet or rinse off easy.

I love how the Hartly is coming together. It's beautiful. I think the Christmas tree should be right in tbe middle where the small table is now. Oh how beautiful it would be!

You almost had me in tears with you on the opening statements. We are grateful you have shared your journey with us. You have taught us so much. We all have grown as gardeners because of you. Thank you! You earned that Hartley!

I love how you use different formal /semi-formal / cottage / cozy styles in your videos. So fun to see how much you enjoy what you do! Thank you!

Christmas tree in the center . Everything looks amazing. One thing I learned is that you can’t rush creative freedom. Sometimes you have to sit in the place and wait until you have furniture in place than add the finishing touches. I love how you don’t rush it.

"who wouldn't want to live in here?" *Everyone raises their hand, er leaf.* What fun to finally set up the fancy new space!

I’m so happy to see you finally able to use your Hartley the way you want to. Your excitement is so sweet!

Sweet! It was wonderful to see the absolute joy and excitement on your face. I feel like I speak for many when I say it made my heart smile to see you so happy! Thank you for sharing the beauty you so flawlessly create!

Watching Laura's face as she talked about how excited she was to be sitting in the Hartley was such joy. I consider my little contribution each month as well spent. Thank you Laura and Aaron for starting my day with not only great information but with a smile and positive outlook in life.

I think one tall skinny tree in the center of the Hartley would be beautiful! So happy to see this video today, I know you’ve been looking forward to adding in plants for a long time. We share the excitement with you in this big moment, and it gets me in the mood to put some pretty potted plants around in my kitchen! ♥️

Oh Laura, it's SO beautiful! I love how it's evolving and coming together. I'd do a tall, skinny tree right in the center.

I've only seen you smile this much when you introduced us to Samantha Grace. Each time you were walking through the doors, you were carrying a plant, a pot, and a smile! Even with all the unexpected Hartley glitches, I'm so thankful you've shared this joyful journey with us. (ps...I vote for a Christmas tree in the center, but not as big in diameter as last year's.)

I pick up glass plates at thrift shops to use under house plants. They are cheap and look better than plastic. It is not a good solution for bigger pots but works for small and medium size plants.

It’s “garden love glue” you send things out (lessons, laughter, and garden beauty) it comes back and sticks to you. Thanks for many years of sharing. 😊🙏🏽❤️🪴🌻🌹🌞

Dear Laura and family it is with great pleasure that I can say " you are an incredible person" I enjoy listening to you talk about everything , I don't think I have seen anyone one on u- tube that gives me more pleasure to follow ".. With that being said I have loss my husband of 52 years in January 2023 , I was a loss person as you can imagine... I have a great love for gardening, so with watching you on line has helped me over this bump, I want to say to you Laura " thank you so much "... Hugs to you and your family...

How wonderful to be able to follow you from our Nova Scotian home! Just loving every minute of your videos! I told my Mom, "Wouldn't it be super great to have her here for a couple days." Oh my, you are so amazing and all the beautiful work your doing on your property! Every day I watch for you and I say to Mom, "Oh, there's my girl!" Love it, ❤️ Love it, Love it! Keep up the great work 👍 So nice of you to take us on your shopping trips as well! Thanks so much!!! 🤗💞

Paint the pipes under the sink black. Think that will help with overall look.😁

Credit where it is due. WE would not be here if it were not for your and Aaron's hard work and diligence. The quality of your channel has improved throughout the seasons and that is what keeps us here (and the babies 🥰). You are a blessing for many of us and I pray many more blessings on you and your family.

Hi Laura, Greetings from Hampshire, England. It was such a pleasure watching the evident joy you got from putting plants into your lovely greenhouse, like a child at Christmas! You asked for our thoughts on decorating the space for that season, since I stopped having cut trees in my conservatory (the underfloor heating just crisped them!) and moved to artificial I started a new tradition of bringing a live 3/4ft potted Norway Spruce into the house just before Christmas and decorating it with collected vintage stuff from my earliest memories, rich glowing incandescent C7 lights, with fragile looking silver tinsel and glass decorations shimmering with reflected colour. The tree sits on a table in front of an upstairs window and It is very much the traditional tree that you can sit and stare at and is the first thing I see when waking on Christmas morning. I think a version of this would also look terrific in your very traditional greenhouse!

FINALLY! Thrilled to see you enjoying your beautiful Hartley at long last! I LOVE everything you have done and thank you Laura for the heartfelt acknowledgment of your viewers part in making it possible. It is such a LOVELY space, the realization of a dream 😊

Love how the Hartley is coming along! My vote is a tall skinny Christmas tree in the center.

We are all living vicariously through you Laura and so your sheer delight at the Hartley makes us so happy too! If it were me, I would not put any Christmas lights anywhere near the Hartley and then do a full tree (remove the small table) and see what that turns out like. Make it the centrepiece!! Looking forward to all of that 😃. All the best from the Cotswolds, England 🧡💚

I watched Jay Leno mention- how his father ... brought home a burlap living xmas tree each year After December, he planted along their driveway. So they ended up with tons, God's blessing. Creates nice memory to year you bought them. Also- houseplant personality is fun... closer to outdoors. Kind of different territory, view for them. They are cute about being taken care of, fussed over...not as wild as perennials. Clean the air too. Neat dining area set up, beautiful arrangements.

Just watched your Mom's Q & A part 2, mentioning her love of glass/crystal items and reminded me to suggest a thick glass dish or platter for your concrete pots as a saucer. I've reused old and chipped china dishes as a pot saucer, too! We are amazed at watching all the improvements you've made along the way to your lovely house and garden, especially this Hartley. I agree w/ most people here about placing a skinny Christmas tree in the middle as the focal point entering the grand greenhouse, the Hartley. Keep up with the great idea, we love em!!! 🪴 💓🌱

The space is calling for a collection of herbs that you can use for cocktail garnish. Sitting around that table with a Lavender Lemonade or a Cucumber, Basil & Lime Gimlet cocktail would be divine!

Laura, you and Aaron work so hard to fulfill your dreams and are so giving with your time and abundant crops, whether they be flowers or food, you deserve the Hartley and every bit of joy that you feel! Your exuberance spills out of every pore of your being and fills us viewers with such happiness not only for ourselves but also for you and your family. I’ve learned so much over the years while following you and know I will continue to. Even if I didn’t, I love being on this journey with you and watching your property expand and develop! You have made it BEAUTIFUL! God truly has gifted you with all of the talents you possess! When you talked about this being a “pinch me” moment in the Hartley I thought of the Bible verse, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen”. Ephesians 3:20. I’m certain you have thought of that verse many times… May God continue to bless you and us through you❣️❤️

Your humble and grateful attitude is so refreshing. I love your Q&As and shopping trips with your mom especially. You and your whole family are truly a bright spot on the Internet! Thank you!

Yes to ALL the Christmas trees in ALL the places!!!! Lights!!!! ❤️❤️

50 years ago, as all good brides did back then, I registered for “good” china to use on special occasions….I’ve almost never used it. So I now use the different size plates for pot saucers and the coffee/tea cups I put succulents in and don’t water very much. Now I get to enjoy my china along with some beautiful plants! Love your videos and thank you for teaching and entertaining me. I’m so privileged to have you as a part of my on line family! 💕

The Hartley is absolutely wonderful! For Christmas, I would put a full size tree in the center where the little table is. I think it will be beautiful decorated. Also have you considered painting the pipes under the sink black? Then you wouldn’t have to use a “ skirt”.

Your sweet humility is so charming. You are living my dream, and it is satisfyingly fun to watch.

The Hartley is a crown jewel. Love the addition of the plants and table. For under your counter top I would have a white wood front built with sliding doors that open up to shelves for storage. You could put a mini fridge for drinks and shelves to put disposable eatery, napkins and drink ware. That way you could bring out sandwiches or whatever and gather the things you need to enjoy that outdoor experience in the Hartley. Would be so fun to do that. I think it would make a lovely addition to the space matching the white in the Hartley. Keep up the good work!

You have earned the Hartley !!!! Enjoy it.

I'm loving how this looks! I would totally do a tall skinny tree right in the middle for Christmas. I think the tree would be such a show stopper right in the center, and a table top just wouldn't have the same impact. You could even use the ornaments you hand made, using flowers from your garden and all natural elements. I can't wait to see the space come alive!

The Hartley Greenhouse is so beautiful, I would love to have a room like that. Love Love.

I think a large tree in the middle of the Hartley as a center piece would be stunningly gorgeous!

It's been fun to see you two realize your opportunities over the last almost 10 years. KZfaq is the only source I use for "reality" tv - since "shows" like yours are very organic (ha!). You both deserve all the success your hard work has brought you.

I wonder if you could keep a blue hydrangea in the Hartley! I know they don’t do well in the landscape but it might be a chance to have one! Maybe in a large blue and white planter.

What a magical moment seeing the first plants placed in the Hartley ✨

You have given so much of yourselves you are so welcome and paying it forward is such a joy thank you.

My vote goes for tall/slender in the middle. Laura, I just discovered your channel this past fall. You have inspired me so much that I rearranged and redesigned both my front and back yards. I have been gardening for 50+yrs, taken several community college classes during that time, but I've learned about so many different new plants, short cuts and techniques (auger bit!!) that have helped to take my spring and summer gardening to a whole new level. Your passion, enthusiasm and encouragement are absolutely contagious, a gift to us all. BTW, I'm a viewer from San Francisco N Bay Area, zone 9b This mornings video of seeing you bring in plants etc into the Hartley was very special! Thank you for all you and Aaron do and for taking us along your journey!

Oh,Laura it’s wonderful seeing you start on the interior of the Hartley! We’ve waited right along with you for this day. Your excitement is contagious and your humility touching. I realize this is a business, but you still make us feel welcomed and keep it as personal as possible. Thank you! My suggestion about the Christmas tree is, take out the small table and have a floor tree. 🥰🪴🎊

I love the idea of a tall skinny tree in the middle and a couple smaller trees or plants with lights. Beautiful!

It looks beautiful! I love all the new plants. It was very kind of you to thank the viewers but please remember that we watch because you have worked so hard to create great content. You deserve the joy you receive because you put so much joy out into the world.

A tree in the middle would be perfect. Love the furniture and the bee pillows. It’s all so beautiful! Now the Hartley is screaming for a garden party.

Good morning everyone! This is so fun!!! I’m so happy for Laura, seeing her having such a great time decorating and outfitting her Hartley is wonderful and a day we’ve been looking forward to🥰 My wish for you all out there is that you will or have a fun garden space to enjoy like Laura is enjoying hers!🌸

I am so happy that you have the beloved Hartley and that you love sharing with us. What you ate doing is really pretty!

I have learned so much from your channel and have watched almost every video and my gardening mindset has changed so much. I now feel so much more confident in my gardening choices and feel so lucky to have stumbled on your channel many years ago. I am always entertained by your content and continue to learn. Thank you to you, your family and your team!

For the concrete planters get some terra cotta saucers and paint them with a stone look spray paint

Laura I'm so happy for you. So many people get stuck in the wishing, hoping, 'someday' stage and never move on to the 'action' stage to make their dreams come true. You and Aaron are 'do-ers' and 'action-takers' to ensure your hearts desires become reality. I find that so admirable. Life is too short to wish & hope.

How thrilling to be working in the Hartley! It is almost surreal! Enjoy as you have earned it! Yes Christmas tree in center!!!!

I am so happy for you Laura. I can imagine the happy butterflies in your stomach.

Laura - just had a ‘lightbulb moment’ for covering the front of the sink area in the Hartley! Heard you mention needing towels handy - so instead of a curtain, why not add a small tension rod across the top of the counter legs (just under the sink area) for hanging towels? Or you could use wooden closet rod and stain it to match the wood on the counter legs! If the towels aren’t long enough to cover all the mechanics underneath the sink - you might even be able to add a second rod down lower (which could hold shorter hand towels or washcloths). As for the Christmas tree - definitely put it in the center of the Hartley! Can’t wait to see it lit up at Christmas!

You are so sweet to thank us for you being able to get your beautiful space. We should thank you for allowing us to be in your space everyday. I’m so excited to see this Hartley transform with the flowers and pots. I’m just smiling from ear to ear for you. Beautiful beautiful just love it. ♥️♥️Well deserved!!

Laura, can you paint the terra cotta saucers a stone grey to use with the cement planters? Loving the new look in the Hartley. Very inviting. Also putting some of the plants on different levels like on little steps may make an interesting high low pattern or flow across the windows without blocking the view of course. So many options. 😊❤️

Yay! Laura deserves ALL the 'pinch me moments'.

So happy for you. The Hartley is beautiful. I would paint the white drain pipes black and stack baskets in front instead of a curtain. So glad you ordered 2 more chairs. You won't regret it. You might consider commissioning pottery saucers.

How about a pretty fireplace screen for under the sink. If it fits, it could hide the plumbing and other fittings.

I’d like to see the Christmas tree in the centre of the Hartley and a curtain in front of the plumbing also i buy from charity shops cut glass plates for under my pots. I’m so pleased to see you setting up in the Hartley your joy is infectious. Thank you for your energy and enthusiasm l was once like you. Now l love watching you accomplish projects and can feel the satisfaction and happiness of a job well done. Cheers from Melbourne AUSTRALIA

I think a Christmas tree belongs in the center, on the floor, tall & narrow! Congratulations! The Hartley is beautiful!!

Loving this space! I love the idea of just stacking pots around the sink drain to take the focus off of it. I would have a hard time not finding a reason to spend a lot of time in here! I would buy a tall skinny tree and put it on the floor in the middle. Thanks for all the inspiration!

I love seeing peoples dreams come true. You've wanted this for so long and to see it come to fruition is amazing.

You deserve it Laura (the Hartley that is) - you’ve worked so hard to get it. A wonderful achievement and your excitement is infectious. You’ve got me excited about planning for fall/winter inside and what my setup could be. Your tree last year in there was gorgeous but I like the idea of a trio of trees on the counter so that they sit in those beautiful tall windows at the end of the Hartley. Enjoy the new space- it’s shaping up nicely!!

So happy for you. For such a humble person so beautiful to see all this evolve. It's absolutely stunning and coming together amazingly 💖

I love how you're blown away by the greenhouse still. I don't think you'll ever quite believe you have it. You have it Laura, it's yours fill and enjoy at your leisure x

Absolutely beautiful!..and your kind words to all the supporters & viewers is much appreciated!..Thank you Laura & Aaron for your hospitality letting us all into your home!..what a spectacular journey!

I'm so happy for you it makes me smile to see your joy ,and also I really enjoyed your interviews with your mom, what a sweet mother and daughter relationship. I feel like I know you both. Blessings to you and your family.

I’ve collected a ton of glass ashtrays from thrift stores and estate sales, and use them under pots in place of plastic saucers. They’re usually easy to find, and many of them are very pretty!

I am building a Hartley greenhouse too. I'll send pics when it's done. I love to see your joy.

For Christmas, the tree needs to go in the center. When viewing from outside the symmetry of the tree in the center is going to be very pleasing. And, it will not disrupt the use of the Greenhouse. You will only have to move the center table during the Holidays. Also, after watching you sweep up dirt etc. on the stone floor I would suggest that you get something like the Black & Decker "Dust Devil." It will pick up the dirt that gets stuck in the valleys and edges of the stone.

A grouping of poinsettias in the shape of a tree would be spectacular in the Hartley! Congratulations! Thanks for this lovely video.

What a fabulous space! I could see myself puttering around there for hours on a rainy day then enjoying time with friends by candle light in the evening.

This is so exciting 🥳 I’m so happy that you’re now able to really see the Hartley come together. I was watching an old video from a few years ago and you happened to mention in it that having a Hartley where the gazebo was at the time was a pipe dream for you. Fast forward and here you are 🤗 I’m loving watching this come together

Oh, I also wanted to say, your genuine excitement about the Hartley is so warming. Your appreciation for it is so obvious. No jading going on there!!! All your hard work deserves the positive vibes the space gives you.

You have waited so long to bring the Hartley to life. You did exactly that today. It's absolutely stunning. It's not even mine and I'm excited.🤣🎉💗

It's coming together beautifully! Idea for pot trays...in special areas, I use vintage plates, saucers, bowls etc that I pick up when "antiquing." I even use small vintage saucers for coasters and place them on various tables throughout the house. Another idea for plant trays/saucers is I pick up inexpensive plastic plates/bowls at Target/Walmart. I got assorted sizes of grey ones this spring because I like neutral colors and they look nice and work well. I vote for a tall skinny tree on the center table so it can be enjoyed 360 degrees.

This video was so exciting! We can feel your enthusiasm right through the screen! I was smiling the whole time! 😊

I would put the Christmas tree in the center on the floor, but tall enough to see! Beautiful little sanctuary you have created! Thanks for bringing us along!

The Hartley is looking so cozy and wonderful with all the plants in it! Maybe just paint the pipes under the sink black and call it a day!

I got so excited watching you pick and pot and placing plants in the Hartley! I have been waiting patiently just like you to see it come to life, So happy for you Laura,

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's happy to see the Hartley getting used! I hope you enjoy every minute of it

Love to see you moving into the Hartley!.. that huge silver trophy from the potting shed would be perfect to hold the smokebush limbs!!!

I am so happy that you share your Hartley and your family with us.

Agreed, no need for a skirt. Maybe just paint the white pipe black so it disappears behind a stack of your beautiful pots. I'm inspired by your updates of the Hartley and so enjoy watching Bejamin "help" you with projects :)

It is coming together so beautifully! Your excitement shines through. Enjoy your space - you deserve it! I can just imagine you and your Mom and Samantha around the table having a little tea party or all four of you eating cookies and wrapping Christmas presents. We all may not have the space or means for a greenhouse, but your taste and design ideas can be translated to any space. So fun! The legs on the countertop are so pretty, it seems a shame to cover them. If you did stack some pretty pots in front, I think it would look fine. Or maybe the right trash container (it’s hard to tell how much depth is there). I vote for the tree in the center. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Laura, just warning about that antique table, the wood on top will absolutely fade with it being in direct sun. Also, it looks like it's a veneered top. With the heat from the sun, the glue on the veneer will fail and the wood veneer itself will dry and you will find it will warp. Not the best place for it, for its longevity.

I’m a few videos behind, but just seeing the inside of the Hartley puts such a big smile on my face! What a dream. :)

Oh how wonderful and beautiful is the Hartley😊❤️ you couldn’t stop smiling!! Me either!!!
