Update on the Garden We Planted For Mother’s Day! 👍💚// Garden Answer

[@mukthatumkur3324]

I learn so much from every one of Laura's and Aaron's videos! I have started a list of annuals and perennials that look amazing in the videos like the Wicked Witch and the sedum. I don't have big gardens, so it's important for me to not have a whole bunch of things but to have a lot (mass planting) of a few things for the impact. In another video, I loved it when Laura said, that we shouldn't feel bad when we need to dig out a plant to get rid of it because it isn't doing well and to put something else there. There will be a visit to the nursery today! Such a helpful channel!

[@carolynmangipudi9898]

Good Morning Laura and Aaron. Aaron's parents front garden you planted looks beautiful. Mrs Sue has done a nice job on maintaining. Watering flowers and plants, especially in Hot sun can be a challenge, even to the experienced gardener. All if it Looks lovely.

[@aileenc7390]

This garden turned out glorious. This size garden is more our current size and inspires us to plant more heat loving plants in our hot zone! Thanks for sharing!

[@eileenchang2173]

Aileen C , I agree because this size of garden probably represents what most of the followers own. Thank you Laura , these plants have given me new ideas for my front walkway which faces mostly west .

[@karenmorse7031]

I love updates! And the hosta is perfect there, it ties in the dogwood and the white flowers to the left, I love it!!

[@n.w.414]

Karen Morse yes, maybe needs a couple more hosts there, still some space for something.

[@brittywren2877]

I agree with you and her assessment of maybe needing a couple more. They are perfect there.

[@myrusticgardens]

Yes! I was thinking the same thing!

[@dianapohl8185]

I agree that perhaps 2 more hostas would tie nicely with the dogwood and be really interesting!

[@janieperry5232]

Does anyone know what the white flowers are in the back?

[@TheBritt0]

What a beautiful use of space. Breath taking when you realize how much you can pack into a small walkway and make it look bigger! Wow!

[@jennifergray6795]

Love this! Your home is wonderful, but I love to see videos like this that I can imagine and be inspired in my own small yard. Thanks Laura!

[@adrabruzzese7610]

That garden area is stunning. I love gaura and lavender together. Theres so much green with just the right amount of color in the beds. Great job Laura.

[@jacquessoubliere5826]

What a lovely garden! Everything you’ve planted is thriving in it’s full sun location; good selection. I’m learning so much from watching your videos.

[@-sstevens5444]

Thanks for the update. Lovely explosion of greens and color. I can really appreciate the "swoops" of 9-10 plantings. Such impact. 💙💚😎🌈🌈🌈

[@alivingston2490]

This garden is looking great. I'm so glad you gave us an update on it. This is a great example of a very practical, attainable garden.

[@barbll000]

Beautiful. I really appreciate the updates especially since the plants are small at first so the update is proof that they grow and look established in short order.

[@laurelking9640]

Everything is beautiful!! Aaron’s Family is fortunate to have a great Gardener, in you!! You two are an inspiration. 😀

[@ritasicari7518]

Really turned out nice. Lemon coral sedum has become a favorite of mine. It lights up any space it's grown in.

[@sherrywhitaker3369]

Agree-My notes for next year include MORE LEMON 🍋 CORAL SEDUM!!!!

[@sarahtunks]

I use it everywhere now! It lights up dark spots and grows in every condition I put it in. Fantastic plant!

[@shelbeas4078]

Your videos have inspired me to completely redo my front and back yard. A lot of neighbors walk by each morning to see the progress and it makes me to happy to know my gardening is bringing joy to others as well

[@heymomma]

Looks like everything is coming up well, still such a thoughtful gesture, I agree that the gift of service is one of the greatest gifts!

[@sonyasanders3605]

Great job Laura.!! I bet your mother in law really loves having you in the family!

[@mukumomkttt]

Yes I did love this update. Thank for bringing us along. Your mother-in-law is lucky to have your as a daughter-in-law.

[@lincasteel-butler531]

Love the Halo Dogwood. I have a much smaller version I will be making into a specimen tree. Everything is doing so well. I bet your Mother-n-Law loves when you do projects at her house. Beautiful!

[@malliemargaret2895]

Watched this with my mother-in-law. She asked me, "She did that for her mother-in-law for mother's day?" I told her yes. 30 seconds pass. "Huh," she says. "She must really love her mother-in=law." Pointed look at me. Guess I know what I'm doing for her birthday now. :)

What a sweet gift for mothers day. Very inspirational. Thank y'all

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! The garden is looking beautiful! Such a nice gift for Sue, and the bird bath looks so good there. Wonderful choices on everything. Thank you so much for the update!

[@judithjohnson2111]

Beautiful garden. It looks so tidy & perfect. Plants are looking so healthy. Your the sweetest daughter in law ever.💞

[@teeser2436]

Looks wonderful your a good daughter in law.❤️

[@carolrose4784]

Love that variegated dogwood... thanks for showing us the change in just 2 months. Beautiful!

[@diversegardener392]

Dear Laura, it was nice to see a small scale landscape in full bloom. I'm sure many people have small scale properties that would love such beautiful results as this. Thank you.

[@MidwestGirl]

Very, very pretty. Laura, you just have the magic touch. I think GA needs to start a new series where they travel around the country redoing/revamping/creating-new gardens for people who are completely inept (like me! lol) - and you can start with my gardens!

[@gardenfairy9792]

The garden bed looks lovely. Your mother in law is very blessed.

[@carolg.6838]

That's is a beautiful garden! Such an impact. The bright sedum is striking.

[@deborahjaniak7531]

I planted those in a large pot around the edge of coleus -absolutely stunning! My new favorite toooo!

[@deannededemarievogel-hampt9954]

ITS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I've got to find some lemon 🍋 sedum, it's always sold out at my nursery. The planter has turned out so beautiful. What a wonderful mother's day gift. Since I do mainly container gardening my daughter got me pots, plants and soil for mothers day. YOU DAUGHTER'S ARE SO AWESOME AND SUCH A BLESSING. thank you for sharing the update. God bless you all ❤

[@melissayates239]

Those pots are beautiful! I'm sure she is really enjoying how it all looks!

[@GardenGrown]

I love that you planted this for your mother in law. so sweet. Have you and Aaron ever considered writing a book on your favorite plants for each season? If not, you should! I would certainly buy it!

[@Bamboo4U2]

She answered that in a previous Q&A video. Go watch all the Q&A vids now, lol.

[@sharonknation2831]

Lovely, not the typical shrubs everyone seems to use. What a thoughtful gift that keeps on giving!

[@tamaraschaeffer7847]

This looks so nice. Love that sedum. I neglected mine in its nursery pot last year. Forgot about it. We've all been there. Two tiny sprigs left alive I threw it in a pot with Stone Crop this spring when I found the poor pot (where there's life ...there's hope right?) and it looks glorious now. It took hold and exploded in that pot. This is my new favorite plant!!! Loving that dogwood too.

[@hhoversonhh]

Perfect example of how Gaura will grow in one season. My sister in law and I just planted some this year. Was tickled to see this. Thanks for the update Laura!

[@laurend.tamayo2186]

Nicely put together as you get to the front door. I love the choice of plants. So fresh looking and inviting and very manicured, really pretty!

[@robingrunzweig1880]

what a lovely, restful garden... hard to believe all those lush plants thrive in full sun!! what a lovely greeting by the front door, isn't it? i love that dogwood... my source says we get too hot, but i'm gonna check around and see if any other gardening friends have had any luck with one... she is doing a phenomenal job keeping the plants happy! thanks for the video!!

[@ditoba123]

How can you dislike this garden created for Aaron's Mom for Mother's Day? God bless all our Mothers living and deceased! Thanks Laura and Aaron for doing this update. You will be blessed a thousand fold!

[@Jack-oc2xq]

Love the effect the gaura gives, especially unplanted like that

[@caroleprete2367]

What a nice gift your mother-in-law! Beautiful.

Beautiful mixture of plants. You did it again .Thanks for the update.

[@brittywren2877]

It's beautiful that would be the best mothers day ever for me. I have to have an ivory halo dogwood now. And I know just the spot. Ty for your inspiration. I love your channel and my yard is so much better bc of it. I wish I could show you the before and afters of me finding your channel. LOL hilarious.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Loved this update for all of us smaller gardeners. 💚

[@dianem7771]

Looks beautiful. Love the color and plant combination. The Gaura looks really good in that spot. I love Gaura. Thank you for the update. Really enjoyed it. ❤️

[@BelindaShanle]

Beautiful, it all flows so nicely. What a great gift for Mothers Day. I usually plant my flowers myself for Mothers Day, usually thats when its free of freezing. Thank you for sharing.

[@miltonantonio9242]

Hello how are you doing

[@valdiego-san]

As always, superb video presentation & content from your team. The way that you and your hubby patiently took the scenery and explained each plant (and how they have grown) let me really enjoyed the entire garden as-if I just strolled and stopped by to our neighbour's front yard. THANK YOU 👍👍

[@porshiadavis-stanford3616]

...and I love the hosta there. Yes to two more!

[@rosegarcia95490]

Always get super excited when I see you guys post! I work and watch you just about everyday. Love the way her garden turned out to be! ❤️❤️❤️

[@marypoll7866]

I really just love watching your videos, first of all it is so relaxing but secondly the way you explain everything makes it so easy to follow and that is something I appreciate. I have learned so much from your videos!

[@LoveofChocolate18]

Hi Laura and Aaron, thank you for these lovely videos! If possible, would you please share an update on your vegetable garden on the main property? It's one of my favorite parts of the garden. Hope everyone is well!

[@cupcake50jh]

The flow of colors and heights on point beautiful.

Dogwoods were everywhere in nurseries in Outskirts of Toronto Canada in the 90s. Harder to find now. It's lovely. Your a good daughter in law to do all that.

💚What a lovely home and gorgeous plantings, Laura. And you look wonderful, too! I enjoy the ideas for "extra full sun" plants -- thanking you as always🌻

Absolutely stunning! I almost think you give it a little bit extra when you do something for someone else. I love this garden.

[@nicolebacile212]

The lavender wave is gorgeous, and ghara is my new favorite plant. Thank you for showing us how to use it in different spaces.

Beautiful garden. That one hosta was the highlight for me....perfectly placed.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Laura, thanks for the update video, on your in-laws garden, it looks gorgeous! I think the Wicked Witch coleus is much showier in a sunny location, I love the pop of color on it. Everything is so lush and healthy-looking! ~Margie

[@janetsreviewbox7749]

I love these update videos. It reminds me to just be patient after planting and to give plants time to grow and fill out.

[@marjoriemcelwain9491]

Mercy, wish that I could just pop all that in place. My husband just doesn't want to hear of self watering (love him anyway), so I make him water each day at least once. Sooner or later he will see why putting in self watering tubing is beneficial. As usual Laura it's magnificent.

[@wendycash54]

Wow she is diligent to water the pots every day just the right amount of water. Watering has to be my biggest issue. Live in western Washington so sometimes rain, sometimes hot and dry. It changes all the time so although I'm putting a lot more on drip I have to keep adjusting. Beautiful!

[@evaboldt653]

[@tia1629]

Looking into it as we speak 😀

[@Edu_Kate]

I had one years ago and liked it... until I didn't and had to remove it. That was before I knew about pruning. Stay on top of pruning back older stems to the ground and you will keep it for years.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

It looks beautiful and Sue has done a great job keeping it in tip top shape. Love the bird bath. Will you please link to it? I lost my fur baby who was, to me, my real baby and think the bird bath with a solar fountain would be a perfect memorial next to his grave. P.S. if I remember right, I think you told us in the original video that her husband was ordering it for her as a gift. If so, kudos to him for choosing such a beauty.

[@kellylaliberte548]

Thank you for pointing out the lavender. I have a handful of Munstead lavender plants and knew I was supposed to cut them back mid summer, but wasn't sure how much to cut off.
