Greetings from the UK everyone! After seeing that tree in the Hartley and the raindrops on the rooftop I’m definitely ready for Christmas now. What a beauty to die for! Sending tons of love to Laura and family plus whoever is reading this. 💕💕

[@donniellecarney7067]

💕 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@vjohnson2400]

I’m also in the U.K. It’s wonderful how great video content brings like minded people together from all corners of the world. The Christmas tree looks amazing and gives the Hartley a beautiful romantic feel.

[@lindaga820]

I too wish you fellow gardenersin the UK a wonderful and blessed holiday season. The tree in the Hartley does look so pretty! I'm jealous !!

[@darcygillan3098]

Merry Christmas to all of our UK gardening friends from Illinois, USA. Have a joyous holiday season!

[@claireboren3177]

Love back to you. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅 🎁

[@chrissycottagegarden6960]

I’ve been feeling really depressed and alone lately, but getting to spend 15-30 minutes with you always cheers me up. For what reason it feels like I’m there with you, look forward to watching your videos everyday 😊

[@mrsbuki]

I get sad too. Sending hugs. Hope you feel better

The Christmas tree in the Hartley was absolutely magical.

[@demesrvl6761]

@Tyler Gates That was Exactly the comment/word I was going to use!!!

[@eileenchang2173]

I love the lit tree without decorations, or use minimal natural inspired decor. It will actually look more ‘natural’ once the plants are in the Hartley.

[@jmckphotography]

You took the words right out of my mouth! 😍 ✨

[@willaerley7140]

The Christmas light reflections off the windows of the Hartley magnifies the beauty ten times over. It’s like listening to Mozart in Boston’s Symphony Hall.

[@shanemanning8564]

Good afternoon to you all from Ireland 🇮🇪 it’s not a good day without Laura and family … love GA !!!

[@lindachorkey1316]

Was in Ireland in 2019 at this time. Loved every minute. slainte🍀

Russell amazes me in every video he is there, even in the Hartley, he is adorable, a professional photobomber. Have you ever considered doing a video of clips of Russell doing his thing in your video? You inspired us all Laura all year long, but now I can’t wait to start decorating for Christmas! Sending cheer and blessings to your family and everyone!

[@jerriecook6908]

Wouldn't that be fun! Russell's photo bombs! 🐈💞

[@lealeclerc920]

Oh Laura, the look on your face was priceless when you were trying to decide what was your favorite part of the tasks you were doing!🙂 it’s fun to see how much joy you get out of everything you do, and yes, it continually inspires and encourages your GA family! The tree in the Hartley looks amazing! With the shape and the lights, you don’t really miss other decorations. Looking forward to this winter season with you, Aaron, Benjamin, Samantha, and the rest of the family (both two-legged and four-legged! Lol). 💚🤎💙

[@curiouscat3384]

The scale of the Hartley tree is perfect! And it seems to me, the way you're describing how you will use the Hartley it will be more of a "Conservatory" than a greenhouse. It sounds more elegant too :)

[@kfetter9046]

That tree looks magnificent in the Hartley, even without ornaments! The peak of the birdfeeder on the post beautifully echoes the shape of the Hartley roof too. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@laydilyke]

Russell looks content sitting on the Hartley ledge. The cats will have a nice shelter for a winter lookout. ❤️❤️

[@raeperonneau4941]

I had a lovely neighbor in Portland who had Suet Feeders for the birds and I would fill them for her when she was traveling. It was so amazing to see how fast they disappeared. ❤️

[@heidibrown2357]

I love it when you walk into the chicken coop and say, "Hey girls!" It just makes me smile! And the Hartley looks amazing! AND that bird feeder is so cute!!!

[@marydeleon734]

What a difference that little bird feeder made! Lovely! Happy Thanksgiving (belated to our Canadian friends!) to everyone watching from the US 🦃. Hope you all enjoy your families and loved ones! Thankful for this community of kind gardeners 🙏

[@ginacota9724]

I think the Christmas tree looks beautiful in the Hartley even without any ornaments.

[@lindachorkey1316]

To live in a world without squirrels and chipmunks .., bird feeders on poles, no massive barriers😂😂😂😂only a dream for me!🐿🐿

[@bunnyfrancis7006]

I feel like Laura is talking to all of her BFFs ..... US!!! Especially when she says " You guys know what I mean". She is the Best.

[@heathermartin8202]

"They're all fun projects!" 🥰 Exactly what gardening should feel like! 👩🏼‍🌾

A star at the top with the lights would make it even more amazing, beautiful those plants are so bonny.

[@nedra4wv304]

You guys are such an inspiration to so many people from all over the world. The GA family can live vicariously through your eyes and enjoy the beauty of all the seasons, but for me, especially Christmas. From the tree in the Hartley, to the children’s fairy garden, to all the trees and lights all around your property. It’s all so gorgeous!

[@gladysbrown8449]

Oh, for next year I can also envision pre-lit wreaths or swags on the doors of windows on your Hartley. It would look so festive!! So many different ideas I’m sure you must have!! 💜

[@PerfectPride]

That new bird feeder is SO CUTE. It has such a fairy tale vibe, which is perfect for that cottage garden area. 🐦

[@sgodbout2213]

I realized why I really love your channel- you truly love the simple things in life that are right in front of us.

That tree is wonderful and uber cool with the dirt floor. This is like a promise for good times in the future! It's the vision that keeps our dreams alive as we work toward the goals.

[@gretchenburton7184]

The Hartley with the rain, the gorgeous tree and Russell; the entire video and the Bird Feeder, aaahhh, a lovely morning...thank you Laura and Aaron!!!

[@christinahand973]

The coloured lights from Benjamin’s garden behind the Hartley made it look like a chapel with stained glass windows. Really pretty!

[@ItsWhateverality]

Just think about how magical that birdfeeder will be in the Spring! Framed by roses, birds flitting about. It will look like a fairytale! So cute!

[@deezahm9143]

🎄The Hartley is a beautiful addition to your home and family. I wish you all, and all those watching, a very blessed holiday season to come. Enjoy!! 🥰🦃🤶🏻👏🏻❤️

The instant you put the feeder on the post, it was magically perfect there! ❤

Love the tree in the Hartley, and the bird feeder is a genius move. I love those moments when I look at something I’ve had forever and realize I can do something wonderful with it. I’m inspired!

[@vandthebees9249]

Good morning GA community! I have been working toward a wildlife refuge certification even in my small garden. Doing all we can to help the birds and beneficial insects make a home in our neighborhoods is well worth the effort and not difficult. Thanks Laura and Aaron for taking care of your feathered friends!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Don’t they say now not to have bird feeders because they contribute to spreading disease?

[@RaeC]

Absolutely beautiful. If I were you I would have sit in the Hartley drinking a cup of cocoa while looking at the tree with Christmas carols on. So glad to see your dreams become realities. Enjoy the day.

[@youareamazing8004]

We can't wait to see your green house next year! This is the Hartley!!! Laura's dream. WE...

She literally just cut that post?! Awesome! You go Laura!

[@altheab.8907]

Tree in the Hartley is magnificent! It’s perfect as it is….so many lights….and a perfect height. It’s so elegant in its simplicity….very spiritual. Caladiums are beautiful. They are such lovely colors and patterns. The bird feeder on the post is perfect in that spot. It is amazing how that one small object changes the look and feel of that space. WOW!

[@beachseeker634]

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate the holiday. Thanksgiving reminds us to give thanks, count our blessings, and embrace those who enrich our lives. I am thankful for Laura and Aaron and everyone in the Garden Answer community for creating such a special place to share knowledge, learn and support one another. May you all be richly blessed. 🍂🍁💚🍁🍂

[@payalsharma5631]

Dear Laura, I have been watching your videos since 2016 and I would like to thank you for all the knowledge you share and hard work you do. Also I would like to let you know that I became interested in making succulent arrangements after watching your videos and now it has become my favorite hobby. My friends and family have also started showing interest in making those and are always approaching me for tips and tricks and I guide them to your channel. You and Aaron make a great pair and we can see that you are good people. Thanks from an Indian 🇮🇳 living in Germany 🇩🇪. Love to Benjamin and Samantha Grace.

[@rspruill1422]

The birdfeeder looks awesome - what would be amazing is if somehow you could have another birdfeeder posted a little bit closer to the Hartley and the birdfeeder would look like a miniature Hartley🤔🥰👍🏾👏🏾

[@StormWarningMom]

Loved the tree in the Hartley. Thought the caladiums were gorgeous and such a lovely holiday vibe they gave to your space. And the bird feeder was perfection. Thank you!

[@nicoletihista7031]

Loved the bird feeder! It changed the whole look of that space and was definitely more “Lauraesque”!! The Hartley tree is gorgeous too! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@mariatorres9781]

Laura, the simplicity of the tree in the Hartley it’s just beautiful. Also, I’ve never owned caladiums so I had a question regarding the bulbs. When planting caladiums in the landscape do they need to be dug up for the winter. If so, can they then be moved into a pot for the Christmas through Valentine season? I am in zone 6b. Wishing you and your beautiful family a happy Thanksgiving. I personally have to say that I am so thankful for your channel. You bring us more than just gardening, you are the highlight of my day and just put a smile on my face.

[@samilayne]

I believe they can’t handle a frost, so I think they would need to be dug up. I remember she had a video last year about that

[@mariatorres9781]

@@samilayne thank you.

[@eileenchang2173]

@ Maria, in the late fall I cut the leaves to my caladiums and elephant ears and re-planted the tubers (don’t bring in outdoor soil ) in my pots indoors. They are growing beautifully. This is the first time I have grown them so it’ll be interesting to see how long the leaves last. All of these plants were tubers when I purchased them in the summer. I wish potted caladiums were available in our gardening stores in the winter. Hence my rationale for bringing the tubers indoors. I am in zone 6 Canada which I believe is equivalent to zone 5 in US. ❄️🇨🇦

[@youareamazing8004]

I live in n.h. so I bet I have to dig up. But it would be worth it!

[@janefoust2785]

Yes, I'm in zone 7a and have to dig up my caladium tubers before the first frost. They have become one of my favorite plants. So pretty in the landscape and in pots. Wish I could get them in the winter for inside.

[@Krlyredheadgirl]

The tree is so magical, Laura. Thanks for sharing on Thanksgiving Eve! Seeing the tree set up in the Hartley, sparkling so, is a perfect way to enter the Christmas season,

That bird feeder is awesome! Plus, the placement is perfect.

[@LaurieEggleston37]

..." in the glasshouse with rain falling down"... sounds like lyrics to a song. I enjoyed the memory of bird feeders! (We just can't have them in the city) Seeing the tree in The Hartley has me jazzed up to decorate! Thank you for the inspiration! 🎄💗🐈

[@susanlee8480]

That is a pretty tree and yes we can hear the rain. Awwww❣️ The tree Is beautiful especially with Benjamin’’s garden lights in the background. In the night light, the metal on the Hartley has a purplish tint. Such a beautiful picture! Love the caladiums!

[@nancyweaver1157]

That copper topped bird feeder is so Hartley-esque! It is on my wishlist! I love feeding the birds...it is such an awesome feeling to see all the little birds coming to the feeders! I ring a bell when I put out seed and the birds come flying from all around . 😃

[@annehedlund7333]

Be still my heart! The tree is so pure and lovely, love it with no additional decorations. Bird house is where it always belonged-- spot made for it. Then all the gorgeous caladiums! They are the queen of my summer garden, white ones for the patio and light pink in a huge blue pot in the front. With the addition of Vista snowdrift by a fountain, perfection without a lot of fuss. Proven Winners is da bomb!

[@rosa632]

Good Morning Laura & Gardening Friend!! The tree 🌲 looks Simply Lovely in the Hartley. I have to share, that caladiums are a lovely alternative to poinsettias. Thank you for sharing more information on how to care for them.

Oh the tree in the Hartley is beautiful and so enchanting. I’d want to leave it up all year to just bask in its reflective glory. Thank you for brightening our mornings and day!

What a great blessing! The ending when Laura was trying to determine what project was the best part of her day…”the bird feeder…or maybe the Hartley…but the caladiums were fun too”! Life should be so full of those little blessings every day! Happy Thanksgiving everyone. 🍁🍂🍁

It's always wonderful starting the day with Garden Answer and coffee. How beautiful everything turned out. You have such great ideas, that bird feeder is tops!

[@marisaportera455]

Laura I love that you added that beautiful birdfeeder. We enjoy watching the birds eat the black oil sunflower seeds at our house too. A little tip. You may consider moving your potted peach tree as the birds tend to be extra messy both with the shells and their droppings.

[@dianeweeks352]

Never seen fresh caladiums at Christmas before. They look like a good substitute for poinsettia, which I am so tired of the older I get. But these are jazzy.

[@posturebalanceandfitness8429]

Agree!

The bird feeder is beautiful! Your family will enjoy watching the birds, I bought a book on birds when I put our bird feeder up.

We are blessed with cardinals visits.

First thing is THE TREE IS MAGICAL. There are no ornaments needed as the tree in its simplicity with the beautiful Harley is just magical. Second point is am I the only one who could have laid down with a blanket and fell asleep to the sound of that rain and seeing it come down on the glass. WOW!!!

[@ontarioyamon]

When you talk about your plans for the interior of the Harley (dining table, plants, etc) I keep thing “You’re not going to have enough room Laura!” … but then I check myself, saying “Never fear! Laura will make it work. She has a magic touch!” ☺️
