Good Morning GA Friends!!!! I planted the Pollypetitie in a little space dedicated to my Grandmothers. Her name was Polly and that shade of purple was her favorite. Thanks to Laura and Aaron I now have "rooms" and spaces in my yard that are thoughtful and on purpose. I learn something daily from you all, thank you for everything!

[@theacripps8099]

What a lovely way to honor her. Sounds beautiful!! 😍😍 I can’t wait to make a few rooms in my own garden!

[@meagantrout2127]

That’s so awesome! I recently got a hibiscus with my grandparents last name. It’s a great way to honor memories 🥰

Morning! Zone 2 here ! 🥶(gets down to minus 45) and let me tell you it can be frustrating finding perennials. There are (on avg) 6 frost-free weeks per year🤷‍♀️. I live vicariously through this wonderful community...lol! 🌿🇨🇦🌿

Russell's swagging tail while Laura is talking about the Butterfly Bush was a fun distraction. Makes you wonder what was under the table. I want to add more small shrubs so I really enjoyed this video.

[@angelaengler2387]

Oh my goodness I am so excited about these small shrubs, they are just what I want for my landscape! Leave it to Laura to keep us informed about quality plants!

[@brendataylor1567]

I so agree..

Good day everyone! Laura, these breakdowns of various plant / shrubs / tree videos are among my favorite! Very informative as usually you might even know about plant options. I find myself going back to some of your previous videos like this one when I want to refresh my mind on others you have covered. You & your channel are tremendously appreciated!

Anyone else notice the cute dragonfly land on their new harvest basket top at about 5:23?🤩 Laura, you must be enjoying your nice, cooler mornings! The long sleeves are a dead giveaway... I am soooo jealous; here in the Phoenix, AZ area, we are still in as few clothes, as legally possible.😉😂🤣

[@lisaburnette6850]

❤️❤️❤️ every garden center shopper NEEDS to see this video!!!

[@CYRiPKK1]

Not related to this video, but I think an excellent video idea for the highlights channel is for Aaron to gather footage from over the years and put together a “what to do in the garden” by month series. It would be nice to see what Laura is sowing, planting, pruning every month in one video. I would imagine it to be especially helpful for those of us who don’t live in zone 6, who can’t follow Laura step by step to have a quick guide/check-list to refer to.

[@heathercartwright7677]

I believe they did a couple of 'jobs for the month' videos, and mentioned continuing it. It was a while ago but I hope they do!

[@charawhiting9161]

Yes, yes, yes, I totally agree with this, I'm in a zone 9 so I have to adjust a lot to earlier or later since our growing season is so long, but I also appreciate how hot it gets up there because it's like that for us down here, plus lots of humidity though🥵😆

[@lmhatfield46]

Excellent idea. Laura is a great at explaining how and why she does things. Having a monthly series for this purpose would be very helpful.

[@oishd6077]

It's so subjective to the climate of a garden that i don't think it'll be very beneficial for a lot of people.

[@folee_edge]

GREAT idea!

[@Neyobe]

I just pulled out a small blue conifer from my landscape a couple days ago and I was actually thinking of shopping today/tomorrow!! Thank you so much, you psychic!

Happy morning everyone~~

[@wendycash54]

This is a perfect video for established gardens! Mine are pretty full already and these are great choices to fill in nooks and crannys. I have thrown so many things in willy nilly and now as you mentioned, is a time for more thoughtful designing. Thanks for all your design info and plant compatibility options!

[@karenross3457]

It is perfect timing. I am at the stage of gardening of plant and forget. These shrubs are perfect. I am pitching some the perennials to make room. Besides with so many tree roots, these smaller sizes are easier to plant.
