Laura, you’re giving your secret away. 🤣 you split yourself into “clone Lauras” and that’s how you get so much done in your vast gardens. 😂 Things are really looking great in every direction!💚💚💚

“Does that make us old?” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Now that I’ve recovered from laughing… Thanks for spotlighting the Oakleaf Hydrangeas. I’ve always shied away from them because the blooms aren’t as “full” as a typical hydrangea, but I didn’t know their leaves change colors in the fall. That would make a nice change in the garden. That’s something I love about your channel. You introduce us to different plants & varieties we might not otherwise see as an option for the garden. 🌻

Laura, you and Aaron watching the zapper means the two of you are enjoying life together. Sounds wonderful to me. ❤️

Is it just me, or do others take 30 minutes deciding where to plant something and then 10 more minutes spinning the plant around trying to get its “best” side lol! Laura makes a decision and plops it in the hole-I need her confidence. Oakleaf hydrangeas are beautiful-can’t wait to see them fill in. 😊

I love how you get distracted by all the pollinators. Love it!!!

Your property is looking like an Arboretum, Laura! Just BEAUTIFUL. What an honor be able to watch it develop. You & Aaron are a winning team.

Oakleaf Hydrangeas are TOUGH! I bought one last Fall to plant, but COVID hit and my household was hit hard. Needless to say, it didn't get planted and sat tucked in with a couple of Annabelles waiting to be planted in Spring. They were forgotten all Winter! My husband swore they were dead, my response was to have faith. A week after planting, they bagan to show some growth. They have All bloomed beautifully throughout the Summer. I know your new additions will perform beautifully for you!

The tale of the two Laura's. 🤣 I loved that blended video seeing you plant next to yourself. Some days, don't we wish we could be two people to get more done.

Fond childhood memory - my sister and I would pluck the "snowballs" from our great-grandparents' bushes, stand on their little bridge over the creek, toss the snowballs up creek, run to the other side and watch them pass under the bridge and continue floating downstream. Cheap entertainment for a child, but wonderful memories. Your gardens and entire property are spectacular. :)

My grandparents had a gigantic snowball bush at the corner of their home, and I still remember how joyful and magical it was for me as a small child. I've never been so lucky to have a yard large enough to accommodate one and can't wait to see yours grow and blossom!! Thank you for, Laura and Aaron, for creating such a wonderful channel. You bring such joy to my heart. Bless you, all!

This is my very favorite video format on your channel. Education in the beginning, tour at the end, and that very lovely time in the middle where we get to listen to some relaxing music and watch Laura (and “clone Laura!”) do her thing. It’s honestly my favorite way to start the day, especially on a Monday. We are *finally* getting some desperately needed rain in Kansas City, so I’m happily staying indoors and letting Mother Nature nurture my garden today. Thank you for sharing your lovely garden with us. I look forward to seeing those shrubs grow and fill in!

My grandmother had a snowball brush and a lilac brush. Great memories. Your children will have great memories running over your property, playing games and having you both there with them. So much that you plant l remember them at different homes as a child.

Loving the new hydrangeas x I love it when you put two Laura’s in a shot. Oh if only we could clone Laura because let’s face it, the world would be such a nicer place with more of her in it xxxx Laura thank you for brightening our lives with your knowledge, wonderful manner and expertise. Love to all the family xxxx

With the world still feeling out of whack and not an awful lot to be happy about it's wonderful to watch your garden developing and know that we have something to look forward to over the coming years! Can't wait to see all those glorious trees in about 5 years time. Thanks for all the joy you bring us!!!

Love how you put up the plants names. Really helps when English is not your mother tongue. For example you say Hookerah for Heuchera and we say 'Hoy-shair-ah" and for Anemone you pronounce Ah-naym-you-nih and we say Ah-nay-mow-neh. Thanks again. Beautiful

Beautiful plants. The south garden is looking so good. It is crazy how barren it was when you started. Thanks for sharing

My appreciation for trees has grown so much since I started watching you. Just visited Glacier National Park and I’m in Banff National Park right now. The evergreens are absolutely gorgeous! Also, want to shout out to our Canadian friends! Your country is stunning! Everyone is so friendly and the country is breathtaking!❤️ Every time I see a flower or bush I think, “Oh, that’s one Laura has shown us!”

You garden you tubers crack me up! Whenever there is a bee or butterfly or hummingbird, your speaking stops. I like to stop and watch too!

Oh, Laura, that south garden is getting so full and lush. It’s come so far in such a short time. I realize you could not have done this much without your KZfaq income, but you have given those of us who have to approach a project like this on a much slower schedule so much valuable information…..resilient low maintenance perennials and bushes, a few small shrubs, and maybe budget for one larger tree or spruce every year. For those of us who love the challenge of saving those beat up half dead looking clearance plants, the possibilities are endless…and who doesn’t love a bargain? Perhaps a winter project could be going through aerial footage of the empty space when you purchased it and the progression over the first year, and 2nd year, and 3rd year, etc. definitely too time consuming to attempt during the growing season, but perhaps something that could be done in January or February. Then once you get it altogether you would only have to work on one growing season every winter to have a video diary of sorts. I think we would all like to see that, and it would be invaluable to your family in the future. Imagine your grandchildren or great-grandchildren looking back at the empty space where you created what will be a park like paradise by then. 🥰🦋

Your soil seems like a gardener's dream! Always soft, with no rocks, and fertile looking!

Wouldn't it be nice to have more than one of ourselves! Another job well done...👍👏💃

When I see you are doing ' just another planting' video, I become fascinated with Ken's photography tricks and music choices. Thanks Ken for keeping me interested.

Laura you and your twin did a great job planting everything. Lol I was like now two Laura’s are really gonna go to town planting today lol

Laura, have you thought about recording yourself playing a beautiful piece on your piano and then using that as background music? We would enjoy it!

I have been watching Garden Answer for years. I always learn something new.

Looking good. Loved the comment "tucked them in with soil" - plants are all treated like part of the family. Choice.

Those Oak Leaf Hydrangeas are very unique-looking 🙂

I have been watching you for a few years now 💚 You inspire me to garden more and plan new garden spaces and be adaptable and not be afraid to move plants when they don't like their spot anymore

I just love to watch you plant. Never boring. And this time loved the editing Aaron, was a neat way to show you on the last two plants at the same time. Just a little twist, very nice.

Those snowball bushes reminded me of my mother. She loved them and they were the backdrop for pictures of our family many times. 🥰

No that doesn't make you old! Grateful you have some time to sit. Looks so lovely.

Love, love, love the snowball viburnum-the leaf form and the early spring and bountiful white bloom. Can’t think of a shrub that makes me happier. 😄❤️😄

I love the way you guys add to your gardens as plants become available and look good at the garden centers. It makes your work so much more relatable to gardeners who design and plant on their own.

Can anyone else actually smell the foliage as Laura runs her hands through the plants? I find Lavender in particular - a scent which I love - is really strong, and such a bonus!!

Am glad you called attention to the leaf structure of some of the plants you talked about today because they add some much interest. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gardens.

Double Laura - this is just what we need! Great editing!

Love to see you working in the older parts of the garden. So glad you replaced the blue spruce. Looking forward to seeing that area get developed. Thank you for all the daily inspiration to get out and work in the garden. We are on a trip right now and I always look forward to getting back home and out in the garden. Appreciate you guys and all you do to encourage us!

Rubbing my eyes because I'm seeing double Lauras planting. Wish I could clone myself like that a to get more work done faster around here like Laura. And laughing at "Are we old?" for watching the mosquitos being zapped. My oak leaf hydrangeas here in Texas are thriving -- even in this crazy 104+ daily heat. I'm ready to plant ,more of them too. And that viburnum! Wow! Looking for space for one too. Everything is looking beautiful as always!

I love how the new flower bed is turning out with the dining area and Samantha's swing...such a sweet little spot! I see lots of family time there in the future ❤️

I can't wait to see this in 5 years. It'll be fantastic. You'll have shade!!

Everything is so beautiful. I have been expanding alot this year. We just bought a little piece of property with a creek going through, so I made a beautiful water slash shade garden and had some big boulders delivered. Now it is getting fully developed on an ance of property with hidden trails. Another big area of another part of our land I did like you did years ago, I planted everything in full sun then the trees grew creating shade so I had to transplant thousands of plants and shrubs. It took me about 2 seasons to move them to another sunny location with no trees, well just a few that grow about 15 ft. I'm glad that done now. I am retiring next year and now I can sit back and relax in all my 20 acres of gardens. Happy gardening everyone.

I have 3 snowball viburnums . I got them super small at Home Depot. I’m in Southern California so I was gonna try and make them work - AND THEY ARE GROWING !!! Beautiful plants . I do have them in containers

I know that your Russian Sage was not the subject of this video, but can we just acknowledge how beautifully it inserted itself into your video and just made itself a star!!! Wow! I was able to get some last year on clearance and now I long for the day it’s as full and lush looking as yours!

South garden is getting beautiful.everything is perfect.

The double Laura was fun to compare to see how consistent you are with planting and watering! Kudos to Ken who probably saw it on the footage you shot and then thought “this will be fun!”

The great plants you can use in your zone makes me wish I lived in a little cooler climate . Florida doesn’t have such gorgeous trees to pick from. How beautiful those are gonna look.

Oh those oak leaf hydrangeas are gorgeous! Would love to have some but they just won’t survive in my zone 3 garden. I just got ten Bobo hydrangeas to plant as a boarder/hedge along my cut flower garden and I am beyond excited! I’ve been binge watching your videos getting ideas of what else I want to plant along with them! Love the video like always!

Beautiful hydrangeas! I wish I was not so afraid of them. I've bought, and subsequently lost, hydrangeas on three different occasions. I loved that you included the photo of Linda Vater's snowball viburnum! I plan to have one of those some day, too. You, and Linda, too, are such an inspiration! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your magnificent gardens.

Those snowball bushes are huge and will be gorgeous!!!😍😍😍😍

Good morning Laura and Aaron! Love hydrangeas and the tree you planted but I really was intrigued to see how the grass pathways are doing. We only got a glimpse and they seem to be looking really good. Aaron, how about a drone fly by soon?? Hugs from N.C..❤️

??Aaron we need an overhead view, please… You all have added so much! Love you guys!

Loved how you cloned yourself to help with planting the snowball bushes 😀! This video was a bit sad because I'm in a solid zone 9 and I want a snowball bush and the crab apple 😞 okay pity party over - another great video to start my day! Thank you for bringing cheer and encouragement to our crazy world!

Now we know! There’s a twin of Laura…..lol…. Love snowball bushes! Mine give me so much joy and it’s so easy to care for!

I even laughed at the part where you enjoyed your bug zapper. 👍

It is really looking gorgeous! I love watching all the varieties working together nicely - you are very forward thinking!

Thank you, Laura, for providing information, inspiration, and entertainment in your videos. The south garden/loop area is really taking shape. I like looking at it now, and in three to five years it will be just lovely. 😊🌸☀️🌷🌼🦋

Beautiful as usual u should put a few benches under the trees after they get bigger. Love ur show u and Aaron and the kids are such a beautiful family. God bless.

Beautiful video, the plants, the music, the tour after of where everything was planted. Your channel is such a joy and so peaceful to watch. Love it!

I love the different episodes where you comment on bringing the 4 colors of the garden into each area. I would love to see a video dedicated to just that. Would you be willing to go around to each garden and comment on the 4 colors of plants and trees that you have as companions? I.E. my blue accent in this garden is “….”, and the purple for that area is “….”, and yellow etc. I would be super interested to have those all in one video. Keep up the great work! Love your channel!

“Does that make us old?” 😂😂😂 I say that to my husband at least once a week

It’s all coming together. Love the plants you planted in today’s video. Love to see all in full bloom

Carolyn here: My lab, Jerry Lee, watched your whole video today. I don't think that he blinked except when there were two of you. He couldn't quite figure that out.

Good morning Laura and family 🌸👪 It's going to look great, have a great rest of the day ☺

😍 Your garden is absolutely gorgeous! 🌺🌸🌳

Dear Laura, you mentioned how you would love to do Bees again but was wondering if you thought of doing Bee hotels for Mason Bees? They live for one year and lay their egg inside the Bug hotel for the next spring. And you don't have to stress or worry about taking care of them. Thank you for all you positive energy. You are a shining light in the day & age. I love how all your property is coming together & is inspiring to go out and tackle what needs to be done in my garden. Have a great day & again thank you for all you do.💙❤🐝🌻

The South garden is really filling in nicely. Hard to believe a year or so ago there was very little life in the area.

oh, those are all going to be gorgeous!! looking at the end of this video, with that luscious green grass and all the planting you've done, i was trying to remember that big patch of dirt you started with, lol... WOW!!! it's looking amazing! 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video!! 🙂 ❤

Can't wait oh how I hope I get to see all the spring color. It sounds like it's going to be fantastic.

Good morning! ☕️I’m in south GA , zone 8b. I have a huge oakleaf down our lane. It gets filtered light and is doing really well. I think it’s been planted about 5 years as a mere twig and it’s at least 10 feet tall. The branches reach for the sun giving it a beautiful shape. And yes, the blooms are massive, some over a foot long. Good luck with yours!

I'm loving the aerial shots that you've been including recently! It helps me see what you (and I would) see while planting. Also, definitely looking into that mosquito zapper! They drive us indoors at night when we want to be out in the yard!

Your plants and trees are all coming together so beautifully. Will be more beautiful in years to come ❤️

Loved the music, very relaxing.

Nice shot of “two” Laura’s working!

Good Morning! Love all of these! It's going to look amazing. Would you give us an update on the new mature trees you planted in the Spring, please? Thank you for all you do, you make me brave in my gardens! xoxoox

You've got the makings of a beautiful botanical garden underway! And the "many" Laura's, how cool was that!

Always Enjoy your videos- I have read that bug zappers end up killing many more beneficial insects than the biting insects one would want to target.

Good morning from Delaware GA friends.

9:20 double the blessing! 2 Laura’s! 😉😄 Love watching you plant. 🌳

Every video inspires me and make me a better landscaper and gardener. Thank you for all these wonderful videos, the highlight of the day!

Love every video where you plant in your garden!

you aren't old....it's kinda satisfying to hear a bug zapper getting mosquitoes....zap ,zap , " another one bites the dust , hey hey , another one bites the dust "

Recently at our local garden center in the middle of Wisconsin, the owner commented on my vast selection and asked if I knew of Garden Answer. Of course, "my idle & inspiration" I happily told her. She said "you really look like her!" which completely made my ...year!!!!!!!!!!!

There’s the answer. Two of you! I have the energy of like 1/2 of one of you. Ha! Love what you’ve done.

Good morning, Laura☕️. I too planted an Oakleaf Hydrangea this summer and I can’t wait to see them bloom!🙌🏻 Everything is looking so good. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

The Snowball Virburnum is an excellent shrub - I planted one about 25 years ago. Our area (in New Zealand) also has high alkaline soil - Limeworks just down the road! And we have hot summers and cold winters (although not as hot or cold as Laura's) and often a lot of wind. So 6 years ago I planted a hedge of them! They are easy care and trouble free and make a change from an evergreen hedge.

It must be so amazing to have such an open landscape to fill up

Summer looks so good on you, Laura!

Things are looking fabulous! Just a suggestion: since spruces seem to do well for you, some of the smaller ones make wonderful blue accents in the landscape, for example Montgomery or globosa. I absolutely love them for that pop of blue that anchors a perennial bed. My Montgomerys only get around 5' tall after many years, and are generally wider that they are tall.

LOVED this video! Calmed me down due to the music & seeing these beautiful plants.

Also wanted to say again, love the music. It's perfect. :)

My mother had a beautiful snowball bush in her small garden. It was just beautiful in bloom.

That new space is looking so beautiful!!

Great video loved it. Love the crabapple. Yes Yes to the grasses. They would look gorgeous. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Oh my goodness! I just bought four Gatsby Hydrangeas, $19 each (Canadian $) on sale!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!! And then then the challenge was wondering where I should be planting mine but your video helped me decide!! So exciting! thank you for the inspiration ♥️ I love your chanel and every day when I wake up my routine is, coffee and Garden Answer for my start of the day, Love it! I'm my a nurse and nothing is more relaxing and encouraging right now, so thank you ♥️

My NEW FAVORITE CHANNEL 🥰 I’ve been following you ALL SPRING… You are an AMAZING SOURCE of Professional Landscaping Knowledge!!! Thanks for all the TIME you spend to help educate us 🤜🤛

Glad you are having some cooler weather😄. Everything is looking beautiful and filling in. Can’t wait to see the Snowball bushes grow and bloom-thehwill be spectacular!

👋🌞Good morning, Laura! I hope you and your family had a restful weekend! 😂🤣😂🤣"Aaron and I will sit out here in chairs and just watch the mosquito killer. Does that make us old?"😂🤣😂🤣😂 No, it makes you both joyful to know those mini vampires are dying...😉🤗 👂👂🎶🎵🎸Ahhhhh, sweet, sweet planting music... I am hoping that is you playing, Aaron.🎸 👋Hi Aaron! You snuck up on Laura; good thing she didn't hit you with a shovel. Everything looks so glorious, where you have placed them! I concur, the totem pole panicums do look great! A clump would look great too.🤗 Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/night 🌍 everyone! Kimberley F in Avondale, Arizona USA 🇺🇲 (Zone 9b)

It’s amazing to see how much your land has changed in a relatively short amount of time:) You keep on saying in 3 to 5 years :) look how much it’s grown in a year:) it’s absolutely pretty :) tfs God Bless:)

These are beautiful plants and tree that already are a gorgeous addition to your garden!

Great video! Laura, I'm so curious about your process when you film and plant solo? How do you decide where to put the camera and doesn't it take you twice as long? I realize that I enjoy watching your channel more than others precisely because of all the camera angles and great editing - in addition to the stellar content! Can't believe how much the "new" space has filled in! Thanks for all you do! Looking forward to being at your Q&A on Mackinac Island! #bucketlist
