Walking down the brick walkway with you, is like walking in a gorgeous park. Your attention to colour and height makes the visual effect so stunning!

Love the cameo in the background near the end. He couldn’t run out of shot fast enough 😂. Love the purple garden 😍 cannot wait to see it develop.

[@thatwifechick608]

It was a big nope from him 😂😂

[@southernnana8269]

Lol! I wondered if that was Paul, and if we were going to get to see him.

[@emilypalmer1244]

That blooper 😂😂😂 thank you for keeping that in!!

[@dianequist835]

Yes, it keeps gardening real 🤣

[@celiarodriguez5437]

Like so many here, I have woken up and spent the morning with Laura. Getting inspired to start my day all while drinking my cup of coffee in the morning. This morning, however, is a very special morning, I’m getting married today (we’re eloping)! As I started to get ready, I put on your video, like I do every morning, and just felt like you and the community you’ve built have been along my side for a lot of new beginnings. Starting college in a brand new big city, graduating college, covid, finding a passion for container gardening, starting my new job, and today getting married, Garden Answer is always here. I just want to say thank you for sharing your passion and being such a bright light. The impact you are having on people is immeasurable. - Celia

[@megangottsleben6450]

I’m surprised a smokebush didn’t make the list! We LOVE ours ❤️ such unique foliage and blooms!

[@Erin-tk5jw]

I’ve been struggling with figuring out reds and yellows for my different spaces. I’d love to see videos like this for each of the colors! And maybe even videos for different textures, like grassy, feathery, etc, since you mentioned including different textures if you’re doing all green.

[@peek-a-boo2625]

Yes a few videos on these topics would be perfect 👍 x

[@21shalimar]

Great idea!

[@carolinewheeler9420]

Totally agree, really feel I learn so much from these type of videos. Would love to see more. Always enjoy Laura's videos. 🤗

[@allysonh6410]

YES

[@erinsimmons8226]

I totally agree! I definitely tend to be draw to greens and reds but need more of the blue and yellow. Love the idea of a color series!

[@growingkansas]

I'm planting a purple garden in memory of my grandmother. Purple was her favorite color, and she was an expert gardener. Thank you for this inspiration! 💜

[@wynorawishum5860]

The west garden is such a beautiful area. I love it and the purple is perfect accent. All the plants you showed today are beautiful

[@Emilid2009]

Can you do a video expanding on your moms’s color advice? Maybe with examples of each in the shrub/tree etc category?

[@cynthiaann4465]

Splash!! Surprise!! Thanks for showing the realities of gardening! 💕

[@rheajones9423]

This type of “color” video would be a great series.

[@traciesoliday2746]

I think between the Elderberry & the beach would be a perfect spot for some type of birdbath with a bubbler in it. It would give a water intrest with the benefit of giving the birds and pollinators a place for a drink on a hot summer day 🐦🐝🦋

[@greatfuliam412]

I just saw this channel today. You are wonderful. I could never get anything to grow for me and became discouraged, so I just stopped trying. But after seeing this channel and you today, I am excited to try again. Thank you so much!!!!!!

[@katherineroth2310]

Purples bring everything together. Thanks so much for featuring the hardy growers- nice digger. Wish I had one. ☺️

[@yaimygarcia7801]

I love Paul turn around when see the camera lol 💐🌸🌷🌳🤣

[@juliemartell1071]

Love all the purple plants, my favorite color! Will definitely try to find some of these. You made me giggle when you got sprayed with water, your expression was priceless!

[@Yrutnec1]

PURPLE and PINK!!!! Confessions: I was so sad when you decided to change the "Moon Garden" cause I Loved it so much --- but this West Side Garden is now what I call "The ROYAL Garden" the colors are amazing! The Midnight Masquerade/ Penstemon is the Bell of the ball, the way she dances gracefully is a pure delight! Heading to my garden center......again!!!!

[@marinbandel2574]

Oh goodness when you jumped I thought a snake or something had got you,!! Then I saw it was the water and bless Aaron" is the water on?" Love the purple! Hugs from N.C..❤️

Would love to see the process of that stacked stone wall. Truly an artist at work. Such talent stone & brick masons have.

[@amberlyonferguson8604]

I always love seeing you work in this area. I would love to see a flashback of how it looked before you added the arbs. I have watched every step of the way. Love it all!

[@morphinegirl3446]

OMG! Thank you for showing that tree! We've literally been trying to figure out what that tree was in our yard for 10 years!

[@shomadevan8541]

All plants looking so beautiful and fresh !

[@EddaElid]

Variations of purple and orange with a pop of red or white here and there make up my landscape this summer and I am loving it.

[@CatCaretakerID]

Purple is my favorite color in the garden.

[@syd8130]

Laura, you should put Harris the hare in that spot between the tree and elderberry! 😊

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

I loved him. I hope he gets revamped somehow and makes a new garden appearance!

[@kendallricker9633]

In 22:37, big hello to the help. ha ha ha...the very illusive man with shades. Love all the purple plants....will have to take a trip to the Garden Center on my day off. Thanks again and looking forward to your next video.

[@janetthornton7909]

A statue next to the beech would be a great focal point at the end of the brick walk.

[@tanasuter5777]

Always love this music selection - soothing.

[@kendralynn2490]

Sis, a vid about my favorite color AND plant suggestions. 😍😍😍😍 YESSSSSSSSS!!

VB27 minutes ago I'm surprised to not see the plum dandy alternanthera you loved to use in seasons past! Loving all the purple 💜.

[@candettecorman5971]

You sure got wet. Just love these purple plants. Never thought of using that color.

[@dianebateman6808]

Gorgeous plants and colors. It's hard to find purple/red in zone 3 in shrubs and trees. Thank you for doing these types of videos, it's always nice to see what's out there for different plants. Looks beautiful as always. Love how the west side is filling in.

[@ambersimpson75]

Love that animal face that showing up in you elderberry next to your brick path 🦁🐯🐻

[@jcrane45585]

For my afternoon sun pocket (4:30-7 pm zone 8b south Alabama) I had double impatiens by fiesta bonita (dark fuschia pink but called burgundy) last year and they surprisingly loved that spot. I accidentally planted them thinking the space was full shade with filtered light but I underestimated the tree canopy (also wind damage, removed a limb). They did great! And bloomed until December!!!!! I didn't even waste fertilizer on them because I was so sure I'd have to move them. They were so prolific even my 12 year old son who doesn't know the name of a single flower, commented: "wow, we need more of those!"

[@lauragreen4899]

Such a fun video on many levels. All the purple plants are gorgeous. Thanks for keeping in the blooper with the water lines exploding. And the photo bomb with, I assume, Paul scurrying out of the view of the camera. 😂 Keeping it real. Thanks for all the fun inspiration.

[@sherricrewson3326]

My favourite Garden Answer music!

[@lorapersinger194]

Laura cutting into the running drip supply is what would happen to me. I really love that you keep it real.

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 I hope everyone had a great Memorial Weekend. 👍 Nice to see your next planting project. I'm tending my Worm Bins this week. The Castings are Gold for your Garden. Happy Gardening Everyone 👩‍🌾👍

[@LaMaiStyle]

I’m going to the nurseries today to see if there are any clearance plants. That’s how I save about 50% or more. This year I’m going for more coral and hot pink

[@gwenb4531]

I do that too! Yesterday, I went to Home Depot and all they had were some sorry looking hydrangeas, but I bought some anyway because they will look beautiful in no time.

[@mchudd]

I love clearance plants! Most of the time they just need a little TLC & they end up being perfect!

[@pollytiks3885]

I do that too! Usually they perk up with care.

[@saltycat662]

Oh I love coral flowers. They're so unique and pretty.

[@janacook8786]

Ask them when they put out their cleanance plants. Nursery by us does it on Fridays.

[@ThatZombieLife]

My favorite color I love this video thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Laura!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cristaljohns1999]

So beautiful! I wish we can see your fountains working more often. They’re so beautiful.

[@callikohl7603]

I planted some purple basil and it is gorgeous and delicious. Love this gator full of color.

[@andreabenson2491]

The dark colors strategically placed make a beautiful little statement! The wispy structure of the penstemon is a plant I need in my space🌱🌿👏

[@katebarrett1924]

Laura - you've helped me get out of my green rut - I'm now purple obsessed! Thank you for helping me expand my gardening horizons!

[@sydneykasmar]

The West Garden is looking amazing - so lush, full and colorful. It is incredible that many of the plants have just gone in this year. You have a beautiful vision for this area Laura.

[@staceyallard2692]

Oh, how I wish I had my own yard to plant in!! I just love that penstemon so, so much!! It’s so beautiful - all of it Laura. It’s been so much fun watching you develop your gardens & the west side has transformed so beautifully!! I can’t wait to see it in full bloom with everything! 😁♥️

I’m sorry I laughed when you cut the water hose, but I am amaze it doesn’t happen more. The color added so much to where you planted them.

I love the walk tour of your garden with a bit of comic relief. It's turning into a gorgeous garden. I never get tired of watching you plant interesting and beautiful plants as you explain the reasoning and dimensions of what you're planting. I love the happy music that goes with it. Thank you for making inspiring videos.

[@allysonh6410]

The West side garden use to look so formal. I loved it. Now to my untrained eye it looks a little busy and overgrown. But when I try to figure out what I'd take out I can't! I love it all LOL

I love this video! Purple colours are my favourites, I like you have a similar colour pallet, I just love how you manage to get all your colours together to look so beautiful and the plants you choose to bring all the colours together is fabulous.

[@ashleighpeterson1226]

This is so refreshing to see and realizing it’s okay to just slowly add stuff to a space. We just built a few years ago on raw land and now that my baby is 3 I’ve been so overwhelmed trying to get a plan all together of where to start. Threw in some creeping phlox and hostas last year and that was it. Just going to slowly keep picking away. This is our forever home so I need to remind myself there is no rush.

[@Michellemybelle1996]

Congrats on your home build. We built our forever home 9 yrs ago- best thing I did was plant lots of trees first (over 60!)- I would focus on those first then add in shrubs for structure and winter interest (evergreens)- then the easier fun stuff like perennials and annuals. So enjoyable to watch the trees grow, bloom and change colors each season as we added foundation beds, etc. it’s still a work in progress over here but I’m enjoying the process and learning as I go. Good luck to you!!

[@saralyleantolik607]

Home run! Beautiful perfection. Love it😉

[@amandaadler1860]

I just manually removed 3 red rocket barberry shrubs in my yard, they were beautiful, but the thorns were not safe for my small kids, and the fact that they can harbor huge amounts of ticks, and in MN, that means a huge risk of Lyme disease. Safety over beauty for me! I also just picked up these same 2 coleus plants about an hour ago from my garden center for my containers!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I live in Laura’s area and we don’t have ticks that carry Lyme, except in the Owyhee mountains; none in developed areas.

[@amandaadler1860]

That would be nice. I’m sure the ones sold here in the centers that I see are sterilized, I know brands like proven winners and burpee won’t even ship them to MN because they’re restricted here. It’s too bad since they are sooo pretty.

Have you considered trying mounding juniper, or the Japanese Hakonechloa (s/p) grass either in front of the urns or in the sunny spots by the lambs ear. The juniper will tend do be a darker blue toned green which would look excellent with the lambs ear without getting too tall.
