Does anyone else first look at how many minutes long the video is?? 😆 I did and got so excited when I saw it was a long one. Yeah! Going to need more coffee. Great way to start the day. Thanks Laura and Aaron! And good to see a sweetie kitty right at the beginning.

[@marangmolotsi6266]

Yup!!The longer the better😄

[@vbo9872]

It "is" the first thing I do. Truly.

[@Asmygardengrow]

Me too

[@melissadavis3814]

Based on the last few vlogs, I think Laura has made her mind up about the maple 🍁 tree but doesn’t have the ❤️ to put it out in the universe. I’m with her on just take it out while everything is just dirt and get a size or two smaller. I’ve really embraced the “if it doesn’t make you happy, take it out and replace with what you want” philosophy. Life is too short to be looking at something that doesn’t make your heart sing. Everything looks beautiful Laura & Arron! 🌸🌺🍁🌹🌻🌤💦🪴🌲🌳🐈

[@tschmidtthegardenguy]

Maples are fast enough, might as well replace it with a 2-3” caliper tree that is much more easy to move and will get going quickly!

[@conniesanrn2730]

Since the business guarantees it for 1 year she might have to wait until its obviously dead before replacing. I'm sure it wasnt a cheap purchase

[@gardengirl207]

@@conniesanrn2730 this makes sense. But if it’s so altered (broken) from what she believed she purchased, then I would hope they replace it without making her wait.

[@juliewolfe7558]

I agree completely. I normally like to give plants a chance to heal up but in this case I'd have it replaced while the area is still under construction and dusty. It's meant to be a showcase tree so even if it heals up the shape will be wonky. Sometimes you just have to pull the bandaid off quickly.

[@ninnornaranjo8877]

@@gardengirl207 i think they need to wait for spring to replace it because it has certain period of time in the year that they can transplant such mature trees

[@brainfeedersbyruru]

These garden tours never get old! It's like a walk in paradise with a fairy garden named Laura. ❤❤❤

[@72Bats]

Really?

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

Love the garden tours! And how appropriate to see Russell at the start 😂. You have such a wonderful space, Laura and I’m loving following your work and the changes over the seasons. Hope your mother’s recovery is going well and looking forward to the Q&A with her. Have a wonderful day.

[@starlakelsey2782]

The Hartley is so beautiful.....but the one place of yours I have loved the most since first time I saw it years ago is the chimney and brick area. It is so peaceful. I'd have my morning coffee there everyday in spring and fall.

[@Gin0827]

I was thinking the same thing. I also thought how nice it would be to be Laura’s friend and sit down and chat there for a bit. 🌸

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

Me too ! That whole area 💙 so cozy and charming !

[@judyheim6998]

Me too I love that area. Also to see there on a cooler night with a fire and drinks and roast marshmallows with the kids.

[@lianelindsey1407]

I love the chicken coop area!🥰

[@terrihart2133]

Totally agree. The secret place.

[@MyBackyardScience]

What Laura says is a rough area, many people would love for their garden to look like that 😀. The garden is amazing 👏

[@gaillowe7505]

Rough is rough

[@kimmy0868]

I remember starting my garden with such passion!!! Sure wish I was younger and starting it now with Laura’s knowledge!!! Ive learned so much! My garden is at the point that everything has to be moved or replaced since the trees now shade it. The problem is I’m much older and broken now 😂 This channel gave me back my passion and I’m incredibly grateful for that! Oh, and it wouldn’t be a great video with Russell 🐱🐱

[@joannschultz3679]

I can relate to the getting older. I sit and dream what I want to do, get up to do it and my body says no way. LOL

[@bexdiller]

Watching this again, 8 months later at the end of April 2023, I'm SOOO excited for summer in your garden and mine 💚🌱

[@amysgardenstead2879]

We built a pergola and then hung swings and bars on it for the kids. When the kids no longer use it, you just take the swings down and you still have something beautiful. I love the plectransus and queen tut without the flowers. It has a beautiful structure and drape and looks more formal to match the entry of the Hartley.

[@rik80280]

That is SUCH a great idea!

[@annettesamuels6804]

I love this show. I learned so much about gardening. Unfortunately I can't afford to buy any of the plants so I live through Laura's interpretation each morning of her card pretending it's my virtual garden. When I win the lotto I'm buying all flowers and have a huge garden.!

[@annelindquist1868]

I'd be happy to share some of my seeds, if you'd like. I started my garden 25 years ago then we decided to tear it all out and rehome all of the plants to replace and renovate our property! Saved seeds and started buying plants at the end of each month to start replanting this fall. I don't recommend doing it this way, it was heartbreaking!

[@GardenKath]

Starting from seed is a very cheap alternative.

[@nancyjensen6409]

Could you find someone who needs to thin out their plants? We paid about $2.00 each for 3 rubekia (black eyed Susan’s) and they have spread like crazy!! We’ve thinned, but you’d never know it! My Iris are always needing to be thinned as well. Best of luck to you!!

[@foxflower9560]

YYYEEESSSS!!! Saw this and quickly grabbed my coffee. Thank you Laura and Aaron! Your gardens are beautiful!

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Loved that annual patch of the purple white and potato vine. And... there was a precious little orange furry flower that followed you all over Laura! Russell IS a treasure. Enjoy your day. You make ours beautiful every day. xo

[@brittanyg6796]

I love all the updates you're making to your property! Feels more like your aesthetic. I might be the only one, but I'd like to see a video on how they put in a stacked stone wall. I live in New England where we have very old stacked stone walls, but I'm wondering if modern stone walls have any adhesive or other modern tricks.

[@pollytiks3885]

I would too! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Really enjoyed the garden tour! Made notes for things to add to my garden next year. I am in zone 6B Ontario,Canada and today it is 84°F with 80% humidity, it is an indoor project day. You walk outside to a sauna and thankful for the rain last night no need to water today! Happy Gardening everyone! Update 85° 92% humidity

[@zormier2002]

Hey Laura, do you keep a list of your perfect blends? I would love to see a list of some of your “perfect blends”. I think it would be a great ideas 💡 list for newbie gardeners.

[@GardeningwithPurpose329]

Russell is a super star! love the intro! Just for fun. Next garden tour should be Russell walking around the garden with Laura's voice over it? lol! I see Aaron's Flag is up.👍 Scorch plants or not still beautiful!..💜💜 Looking forward to your next projects in the new property in the near future! Thank you for the Garden tour hope you all have an amazing weekend.

Oh a one hour garden tour!! Yes!! Today my mom would have turned 85, but sadly passed away (in England) 10 years ago. So today, everything I do is in her memory! I went shopping to her favorite store, Aldi! Then came home and put my feet up with a cup of hot tea and a snickers bar (she LOVED them), and watched your garden tour! She loved to garden, and was very successful with most everything she grew. In her later years, as health declined, it became a frustration. I’ve taken up her love for plants and flowers, learning a lot from you Laura, about growing plants in America and trying to make my garden in Virginia, pretty like yours! Thank you for all you do to make our landscapes pretty, may God continue to bless you for your efforts!

[@iartistdotme]

You and Aaron sure are examples of faith - believing in tomorrow and planning for it with joy.

I love where you are putting your “kid area.” It will be perfect.

[@junesmart7352]

I LOVE the fluffy boxwoods & am letting mine exhibit their natural forms because of seeing how lovely yours look when fluffy. The formation of the hedge itself is enough uniformity for me, and the softness of the natural fluffy form is so pleasant.

Would love a snapshot of Aaron’s face every time Laura opens with “And I had an idea…”😆 You’re gardens are truly beautiful though, and you guys inspired me to get stuck in instead of waiting for everything to be ‘ready’.

Love watching how your garden has grown, my garden has changed because of moving a few times the past 2 moving from California to Arkansas - big change in gardening. I found your channel several years ago when my Mother passed away and you have helped me in so many ways. I was always an indoor plant person; you have taught me how to go from indoor to out and container to ground. I love seeing what you have planted and think can that plant work in my space. Thank you for your sharing your love of gardening and what you learn each season.

When you talked about saving the broken hydrangeas, I was like, I was there then! So much growth since then and not just the plants! 💚

[@Hlorrh40]

one time in our area, a farmer took a spot of his land and plowed it and planted nothing but sunflowers. it was beautiful! maybe you can do that next year in that spot or even do a mix of sunflowers and lavenders. Oh, that would be pretty. Just a thought. Everything looks beautiful! Hard work is paying off. God Bless!

Good morning Laura and everyone around the world 🌎 Laura, loved the tour of your garden this morning!! I’m so jealous!! Love it when you show the good with the bad, it really helps alot Between our deer here and our heat and humidity here in NC, it’s so hard to keep things thriving. Our humidity yesterday was at 95%, just awful!! The deer 🦌 are another big issue!! They eat everything I try to plant but thank goodness it’s only in my front yard. Back yard is fenced in. Anyway everyone have a wonderful weekend!!

Your varieties colors and placements have completely evolved my taste. Thank you guys for giving so much to all us that love to learn. Your passion connected to your knowledge is what drew me in.

Hi Laura. Just so you know. In Holland the Dutch growers use silver straight wire to support hyacinth and other plants that droop. They pop them through the centre of the plant so you can't see them.
