Paul and Bethany do such a wonderful job! So glad they're comfortable having us all watch while they work!

[@NJGardengirl1961]

Just imagine how much we all could get done and how beautiful our properties would be if we had minions to clean everything up for us and parents that owned a garden center!

[@whosedoingwhat]

They get sponsored $Mill’s so cab do & buy what they want have hired help, keep it real! Your buying her flowers👍🏻

[@kristibost5723]

@NJGardengirl1962, and @whosedoingwhat WOW. Please be nice 😊

[@DebzZi]

And if you're watching, you're contributing... no need to state the obvious!!! Anyway, it's well worth every cent they earn from YT. I get my daily dose of positivity & gardening rolled into one! Bargain.❤❤😂

[@sosett86]

Love watching this channel. Laura isn't afraid to get down into the dirt and she definitely puts in the time to keep all of us informed and entertained.

[@Sherri-vn5qg]

Hi Laura & Aaron! I hope this won’t be too long but I’ve been waiting to subscribe & comment for about 5 mos! I recently retired from education last June. I’ve loved calling myself a Gardner all my life but really didn’t feel like a true Gardner until this point in my life where I could devote my time & heart to it. Last fall, when I could no longer do much outside, I began educating myself with videos online & planning my next season! I started looking up videos & sites that taught me about the plants I was interested in. That brought me to you. Your style & zones seemed to fit mine (mostly) & your simple & joyful gardening tips spoke directly to me. I’m sorry to say I had never heard of Garden Answer or you two until I began this journey. When I discovered you actually had a journey of your own, I went back to the beginning season of this property (mid 2016) & began binge watching the videos from beginning to end, chronologically. My husband soon became very familiar with your journey as well haha. Watching your lives change with children was so special. I feel like I know your mom & dad & sis by watching them become more comfortable as your journey evolved. I recently (about a week ago) finished & basically “caught up” to the present. I’m not sure what I will do with my time lol, thankfully the growing season here in Northern IN isn’t too far out! I just had to thank you both, from my heart, for sharing your journey & helping me start mine, (finally! Better late than never). It was a wonderful way to spend the winter months💜

[@kristibost5723]

💖🌸💖

[@medinasod2013]

I've been watching since they lived in their townhouse. Nice family and lots of good information. Have fun gardening

[@missbiggs9437]

I appreciate your beautiful and honest comment. It struck a note with me as I’m actively working towards my retirement goal for year end 2024 (but it could be sooner, a whole lot sooner actually!) 😂😂 Although I began watching GA from the start of the pandemic, I can definitely picture myself spending time through the winter months binge watching all of GA’s pre-pandemic videos. Happy retirement and happy gardening adventures!! 🎉🙌🥳🍾🥂🪴👩‍🌾😻

[@Sherri-vn5qg]

⁠@@missbiggs9437 thank you so much! Let me tell you, if you do binge watch from beginning season to end, watching all videos, many months will pass by lol. I found myself struggling to get my regular things done around the house because I wanted to keep watching…lol my husband would say, let me guess, garden answers? “Hey guys!” ha ha, but he loves it when I find something that I love. I sure hope you get to retire soon, I thought I would just end one job and start something different at a different place, but I just ended up loving my time outside :-) Good luck to you!

[@justinepperson3790]

Thank you for working as an educator! Enjoy your garden 💘💘

[@kristibrooks967]

The painters must smile at all the "fairy work" that gets done when they step out for lunch! 🎉

[@haleywilliams3025]

I was thinking the same thing!🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️✨️✨️

[@robbywarren997]

I love the way you ended the video. The chance to see you enjoy the fruits of your labor take a break and chat with us.

[@25gallant]

I agree! Gave a different visual perspective for us viewers as well 😊 more "ground level"

[@marisolbrunk5303]

100% Agree! My smile kept getting bigger throughout the video with a pleasant ending! 😀

[@dawndawn6946]

Benjamin and Samantha are such a joy to see!❤ Paul and Bethany are amazing. Thanks, Laura and Aaron, for bringing us joy!

[@marmaladesunrise]

Paul is so diligent in his garden work. I love the fact that he and his sister work together. The entire operation is a family endeavor.

[@snowballjennjenn2825]

Laura thank you for sharing your God given talent, beautiful family and your beautiful home with us! You are such a positive uplifting soul!

[@AGardener]

Laura, you are a true gardener! We never throw anything away that is green, we just move it. Enjoyed sharing your day.

[@debrabeard1830]

This video was a pure joy to watch! The kids brought sweetness, the joy on your face at the end, Trans planting those iris, and the pansies. You're so lucky to have Paul and Bethany! What a wonderful life! ❤❤❤

[@judygray7718]

I very much enjoy your sitting in the garden for a minute or so and talking through the projects and sharing your thoughts and insights. My gardening has slowed greatly as my body ages. I have fewer, less involved plantings in smaller space. Evergreens and shrubs with pots of no maintenance flowers fill my love for gardening these days. I love your vitality and new adventures and development of your property. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@klcpca]

I know it's not their favorite thing but Thank You Paul and Bethany for taking along with you as you work. It's such a pleasure to watch someone who is so proficient at what they do and takes such pride in their work. Beautiful job as always!!!

[@justinepperson3790]

My inner child is so happy every time you interact with your kids! You and Aaron are such amazing parents! Thank you for inspiring kindness and giving amazing garden content 😍

[@lisafenno4563]

It's nice to see you sit down and admire all the beautiful surroundings you all have accomplished.

[@terrivance8750]

Laura, Samantha & Benjamin were sooooo cute helping w/ the irises! You & Aaron are truly blessed! ❤🙏❤

[@b4real87]

Went back and looked at an old garden tour because I couldn't handle not knowing what color the iris are and you were right, they are super dark. Either black or deep purple. 😊

[@SanDiegoFarmGal]

Well, that's good to know. Thanks for researching and sharing. 👍

[@wynorawishum5860]

Thanks for taking the time to look that up. I was really curious to know the color too.

[@no7seen]

I did that too! 😅 And indeed can confirm that the iris will be dark color 🙂

[@Cindy-lo6zz]

Laura. You are such an inspiration of a lady, God loving, hard-working, and an awesome mom, etc... You make me want to be a better person every time I watch you. Thank you for staying true and not changing for money or fame. I think this is your gift God gave you.

[@GwynneDear]

I don’t usually plant pansies in the spring because they are so short lived. Last year I went through a tough divorce and had to move into a rental, leaving the 4 year old gardens I built from scratch behind. Yesterday I couldn’t help myself and I got out as many pots I could afford to put plants in and filled them with pansies. My little courtyard is so much happier for it. I saved some money by getting some bigger pots that had multiple plants in each and split them up. It’s a nice reminder that after winter always comes spring.

[@renaeboonstra54]

When the camera goes to fast speed it’s really Laura’s natural speed 🍃❤️🍃

[@capitolhilldr]

Haha, I always say that too!!

[@gregorybarrett6500]

Laura sitting down on a bench enjoying her garden? I never thought I'd see the day.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

I love the elegant simplicity of the containers and the center of the Parterre Gareden being just fresh mulch and boxwoods. So lovely. 🥰

[@linneamariephotography]

Paul and Bethany with the footage. So good! I especially liked the idea to get the back of Paul while he was driving. Also loveee the big Benjamin hug!

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Good Morning! 🪻I love in the Spring when things comes back to life! Especially the soft Spring colors! Samantha is a little firecracker! Benjamin is getting so big! What a joy to have them out with you! Everything looks so refreshed & ready for this growing season! 😃🌷🌹💐🌿✂️🌿

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Loved seeing Laura sitting on the bench behind the Hartley - great into the Hartley and out into the garden!!

[@kristibost5723]

Laura, you and your wonderful family start my morning off, every morning. Feed my dogs, make my first cup of coffee and Garden Answer. I’m truly not sure if you and Aaron realize the impact you have on your community. So I commend you both.. thank you 💖🌸💖

[@Sherri-vn5qg]

I also start my morning off with my coffee and video lol😌

[@pollytiks3885]

I feel the same way!

[@ruthlarson6334]

Samantha is showing off some pretty impressive gardening skills in this and some other recent videos. She seems to have her mama’s gardening eye and hands ❤❤

[@Shana01_]

I'm so happy to even be a part of this amazing, sweet community. Everyone in the comments is so sweet and positive it brings joy to my day just watching Laura and family and reading the comments. ❤❤❤ lots of love for everyone from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ❤️. Question to Laura: How do you even deal with so much positivity ? ☺️🤗

[@cathrinagroiss604]

I also came fir a shoutout to Paul and Bethany. They work so hard and beutifully, asnd now they are also playing along(ish) with having the camera around, even bringing us in for a closeup 😊. Kudos to all for the great result

[@alexiscameron6936]

This channel is the highlight to my day! I went from no garden to almost an acre of flowers and veggies thanks to your teaching. I too had issues with my walla walla seeds so I seeded more just in case. Now I’m giving tons of starts away to friends and family.

[@bjbrown6488]

I love the way your kids are part of your videos. It's a joy to see a happy, gardening family 😊

[@claytoncomeaux414]

Samantha, gardening with her mother drew a tear. I won't deny...❤

[@prettyinspireddecor6787]

It is always pure joy watching your videos and learning from you. Thank you for everything you do.

[@kristibost5723]

So true 🌸💖

[@capitolhilldr]

I'd like to make a request that ALL Paul and Paul/Bethanny footage MUST be in normal speed, lol!! They are such good workers.

[@GardeningwithPurpose329]

Laura and Aaron you two are very lucky to have such a hardworking team Paul and Bethany!

[@MyBackyardScience]

We like to pinch snapdragons when they are in bloom! By that, I mean it's fun to squeeze the flowers and see that little dragon's mouth open and close! :-)

[@beckybainer9019]

Paul and Bethany are such a gift!

[@robingrunzweig1880]

there is nothing more satisfying that a productive day in the garden where you can see and enjoy your work at the end of the day... those "blurple" (my word for blue/purple) pansies are gorgeous! and just politely and cheerfully say SPRING!! ahhh... i was smiling thinking of how shy Paul and Bethany used to be and now they're out there filming with the rest of you: certainly a part of your family and ours these days... can't wait to see the changes around the property this year and the freshly painted house!!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤

[@wynorawishum5860]

What a wonderful video, A harbinger of Spring. The iris will be so pretty (and safe) where you moved them and they will have new life. All the sweet pots are so perfect for inviting Spring to hurry. Samantha and Benjamin are so sweet and fun. You are blessed with a wonderful family. Also, you are so kind to share a small portion of your life with us. Thank you. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@jimalee2896]

Dang! I need a Paul. He is amazing!!! Nice work Paul!! You are awesome! Thanks Laura for adding Paul to your line up...

[@lynndavis9432]

I love the simplicity of all one variety in the pots...they look "abundant.". I also always leave volunteers...I have some violas in the cracks between my patio bricks. What a lovely spring surprise!

[@deanncampbell3437]

You can tell how much your children love you 🥰

[@Sunshinelady]

You had me at ’Spring Containers’🥰🪴

[@helenjubert4744]

We all know Garden Answer is so fortunate to have Paul and Bethany. Can we just say how blessed Paul and Bethany are to have Garden Answer? Not every employer thanks and appreciates their employees as does GA.

[@robertparker8669]

Great job Paul and Bethany

[@alisonsneed3707]

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen you sit down and admire the work. Nice.

[@rachelbarth1271]

I love seeing these type of projects -- things every gardener is doing at this time of year: topping plants to boost production, stretching the budget with beautiful pansies for the planters, finding new homes for the iris. Very relatable. Your joy and delight in gardening always shines through! And the parterre gardens look beautiful with the fresh mulch.

[@be_you2023]

You know something amazing is about to unfold when a series of transplanting videos pop up. Exciting! Thanks Paul and Bethany for sharing your amazing work, the Parterre garden looks amazing.

[@JacquelineMiller-vm6dk]

Boy did you guys strike GOLD when you hired Paul. Just beautiful.

[@marthaz1183]

Your landscaping and property is just looking nicer and nicer every year. Wow! 😊

[@GwenParton-zo2zp]

I have been with y’all from the very beginning! Your drive reminds me of my grandmama who worked a 2 acre garden all by her tiny little self. Literally everything we ate came from seeds she planted and harvested. YOU and your entire family are a BLESSING AND A GIFT to God’s earth!!

[@janetstevens5990]

What a wonderful transformation to your flower beds with your additions of the pansies and the great work paul and Bethany did in that project looks amazing.

[@shellyroman1321]

Your babies are getting so big!♡ I love how they love to shadow their mama and give so many loves ♡ Your gardens are waking up so beautiful and with the addition of the pansies in the pots, it announces Spring so perfectly!

[@foodnwords]

Loved samantha's little assist with the shovel! Such a darling! And that sweet sweet hug from benjamin! Love it!

[@taiholiman961]

I LOVE SEEING THAT SWEET BOY, loving on his mom!!! 🥰😍🥰#momOfBoys

[@kkeenan536]

Also, Paul putting the cardboard down back there for grass/weed barrier sure did a good job! Will be fun to see what the irises have in store 💚

[@terryblase3234]

I thought the same thing!

[@brensno5874]

Laura, you are so sweet and you're precious children love it when you always let the kids learn to plant knowing it comes from God and hard work and you'll see the flourish in the hand of Jesus in your lives. Blessing to you and your family ❤ ✝️

[@rosavargas539]

Oh my , are you ok Laura ? Only a few little plants in those planters , I’m afraid you’ve come down with something . The Laura we all know and love would do no less than a whole flat a thriller and spiller and then stop to look if it’s enough😂😂😂 love all the nice clam spring containers it’s a comfort for the eye. ❤

[@sandy-rr1by]

Painting and repairs will feel like a brand new house!!! Wonderful start to the season.

[@chrissheets4865]

Another fun day gardening with you. In particularly loved the cleaned up beds when Paul and Bethany finished. Like a clean canvas just waiting for you to plant up.

[@StaceyFernandes-ek9ks]

i just live everything on your property!!! i love ❤️ that you take the time to move plants instead of just let them go that is just amazing. Thanks for sharing this morning. Everything is beautiful and your kids are adorable and your your poll and Bethany are just amazing.

[@jamieraible1663]

If you leave a few snapdragons unpinched, then you will get flowers sooner. Best of both worlds !

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Very productive day and a happy gardening family!

[@katiedc8239]

LOVE the pansies, my favorite flower, or one of, ha! Love the kids helping you and the big bear hug Benjamin gave you, anxious to see what color the irises are, and Paul and Bethany did a great job cleaning out the beds in front of the Hartley!

[@tiffanyperrego445]

It’s truly been such an inspiration seeing your property transform. I remember videos of the crazy dust storms. Have you ever thought of adding an area you could turn into a secret garden?

[@marciacampbell7096]

Love the children helping you in the garden. It brought tears to my eyes because I miss my girls being little. They are adults now, and I am a senior. Cherish this time with them. It goes by quickly.

[@alisonsneed3707]

Love seeing what gets done when there are resources. Things get done the right way. Trees get removed - stumps ground and all. Transplanted trees get the fertilizer and top dressing they should. No 1/2 measures or skimping - Gardening Heaven.

[@choosejoy8027]

We need a spin off channel of watching Paul & Bethany ❣️

[@marypritchett1382]

I would never leave that Hartley area! So magical, so beautiful!

[@monicamcleod6999]

Laura, I just absolutely LOVE❤❤ the partierre garden that you have in front of the Hartley. That formal garden style is perfect for in front of the Hartley. I love the itulips in it in the spring and the cabbages in it in the fall. Just perfect. We'll done Laura.

[@arthurperry4675]

Imagine being the neighbor(s) and waking up every morning, looking out the back of your house and seeing all the beautiful gardens and buildings! What a wonderful way to start the day!

[@syrhmk]

I was watching halfway, before you went to change your shoes then went to work 9-5 and was so stressed out, decided to continue while eating dinner. Now, I'm all smiled watching you non-stop creating beautiful garden with your family and blessed Paul and Bethany too, and Benjamin hugging you soooooo tight! it was so beautiful. Thank you for making me smile again.

[@coloraturaElise]

My favorite part, hands down, was Benjamin hugs!

[@heidijones1516]

Hi Laura, I love watching your videos. You are so inspiring and a sweet, thoughtful (fly fed to Venus Fly Trap} soul, you are one of the reasons I got back into serious gardening during the pandemic. It has become my passion at 72 in semi retirement/working less it gives me the extra time needed to be engaged. Loved seeing Samantha "working" with you and the topper, Benjamin running into your arms.

[@royde-bo-hun3113]

Ooohhh the south garden just keep getting better and better. And fuller. The terrace looks stunning. Neat n sharp. Pansies are just the best for spring. We just got another 2 Inches of snow. I swear I feel like we won't even get a spring. It's trying but the snow keeps coming. See you in the next one. Little Benjamin n Samantha just love their momma. 💜💜💜🌿🌿🌿🪴🪴🪴🪴

[@dianaballew6329]

Laura, I so appreciate your good stewardship as you transplant and tend to your lovely plants. Your place looks so clear, beautiful and clean, even in this season before the great blooming.

[@lynkarpick8037]

Pansies are one of my favorites! My grandmother always had them. We carried the tradition forward!

[@TheWill2000g]

Paul and Bethany are the A team. What a blessing to have them 💕 plants as much as you and Aaron.

[@conniegarland3311]

It's amazing how many different things everyone is interested in. So many questions about so many different items. Laura you are a wonderful lady , and thanks for being you!!! Please don't change. You haven't since I started watching you many years ago, except you seem more confident in yourself, and on your videos. Enjoy YOUR garden and how you want to do it.

[@sonyasanders5170]

Laura the benches and pots look so good up front on the Hartley!! Good choice,!!

[@korriekearns4584]

Laura, can I suggest you grow some hard shell gourds. They are quite satisfying and produce a crop of potential projects once they are dried. They are time consumers but worth it. One season can produces years of potential projects.

[@RealBradMiller]

I second this. I am going out of my gourd this year. Birdhouse, large and normal, bushel gourd, snake gourd, and a few others whose names escape me. The birdhouse gourds I used to make birdhouses, of course, but any strange or broken ones got turned in to mushrooms. Cut the neck to make the stem, and the bottom of the gourd becomes the mushroom cap. I would stain, woodburn, and Dremel little designs into them. Can't wait to make more, I've given all mine away and missed a few years of gourd growing and exhausted my supply!! 😮 Have a great day!!!

[@ninahannum1894]

Agree! I love growing different kinds and then decorating the dried gourds.

[@SanDiegoFarmGal]

Spring has sprung. Yippie!

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

Great video, as always.😊❤ Just seeing the joy on your face while working with your plants and digging in the dirt is such a treat, but seeing you give Benjamin and Samantha bear hugs is the best part of the video❤ Paul and Stephanie you guys rock.

[@cathyorseske2564]

Its always good to see the kids out helping. Love your family and videos.

[@pat9604]

Fun to watch such a productive day! I tried to remember a time when Laura just sat and enjoyed the outdoor vistas. Blank! The kids were adorable. Thank you, Laura!

[@LULC0759]

I was moving Irises yesterday. It’s fine to do so in the spring. It could set blooms back until next year, but not always. They and Hostas are so resilient.

[@meganrobinson2190]

I think it's time for a Q&A with Paul and Bethany 😊

[@deeshea3286]

Laura, everything in your garden looks lovely. I love the simplicity of using one color in your pots. Nice change! I’m going to follow your lead.😊

[@anjabrunner5100]

Sieht wirklich großartig aus...Schöne Arbeit ❤

[@JulioWY]

Last year I found the perfect cool shady spot in my garden to enjoy pansies and violas nearly all year. Love them❤

[@andytrujillo2935]

Always good to se BenJammin & his sister!!

[@sandy-rr1by]

I gotta say this is a double watch video! I love all the seeing all the areas where pansies are the stars. Pansies and violas just scream spring!!!

[@sherrysmith5520]

I see a little lady that wants to be like Mama ❤

[@zuzauramek9850]

Ohh . How I need my own Paul and Bethany 😁 They are angels

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Greetings, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 I love seeing all of the young Seedlings. And so nice seeing you adding color to the pots. And how beautiful to see your house with fresh paint. Enjoy 👌 Happy Gardening Everyone 👩‍🌾👍 ❤Peggy❤

Ooooh I just love those flagstone pathways! All the plants look wonderful, too! lol

[@DarleneZ]

I just Love to see your kids hanging out and helping you Laura!🥰🥰🥰

[@InfinityHealthPilates]

I don’t know how you all can do so much heavy gardening everyday. I’m exhausted after 3 hrs in my yard cleaning up and fertilizing for spring. Amazing

[@Nicollettesparkov]

This was such a satisfying video! Thank you for showing that the mundane tasks that we simply watch can convey to us such a sense of purpose and completion.

[@eveaYT2625]

YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND DO SUCH A GREAT JOB 👍 SHARING WITH US THANKS SO MUCH #NOT A DAY WITHOUT JESUS 🙏

Great job. Samantha and B Man are so cute and hilarious. House is looking great. Great job Paul & Bethany it’s gorgeous. The flowers look amazing also. Thanks again for sharing this with us. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
