Such beautiful plants!! 😍 this year my boys (ages 9&7) decided to do the container contest. We went to our local greenhouse/garden center and they got to choose their own plants. I do have to say their container is winning! So proud of them.

[@Tinkergrumpybuns]

Laura, you are planting so many pollinator friendly plants in your gardens! Have you thought about putting some low shallow bowls out for water with some pebbles for the bees and butterflies? Is there a way you could tap into your water source to keep them filled with fresh water? Just a thought! Love following your dream.

[@michelerok4252]

I find that I look forward to your channel whenever you post a new video. Love how you educate us on all the different kinds of plantings. Plus, it is a treasure of a bonus when you share your beautiful children with us in your videos. I can honestly say from my heart that I don’t normally get excited on KZbin channels but your channel is one that keeps you interested til the end and I love your channel. Oh, I have now been following you guys for almost 2 years and feel like I have to watch you guys as often as you post your videos. I wish you all nothing but the best in life and may God bless you all for doing all that you do and to include us all in your journey. Thank you so much

Woow I kinda just realized that the south garden in a very short time have gone from rather empty to much more full! Beautiful and well done! 😍💚🌱👏

[@corissareilly7508]

Love all of these! ❤️ Laura, thank you so much for all of your videos. I’ve been watching for a couple of years now and just helped my boyfriend, who is a landscaper, designs couple of beds for a client. We used hydrangeas, echinacea, nepeta, lambs ear, heuchera, and a small blue spruce. I made sure that green, blue, yellow and red were all in there, that textures and heights varied, and every season would have blooms… all of which I’ve learned from you. We’re hoping to do more of this and it wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you for educating me and so many others and the joy and kindness you provide along the way. ❤️❤️❤️

[@AGardener]

The south garden is like a jigsaw puzzle being put together! Love watching the progress in each video. You are so fortunate to have so much open space to plant in! It”s like a gardener”s dreamscape. Thanks for these videos. They are so encouraging in these hard times!

Morning! I went to the garden centre on the weekend with the plan to buy Butterfly Bushes for an area in front of our deck that is nice and sunny. Ended up coming home with Nightglow Diervilla! LOL 😂🌿💕🇨🇦 I do still want some Butterfly Bushes at some point though!

[@annelindquist1868]

Isn’t it funny how you can have a set plan and as soon as you walk in your plan changes and you leave with a bunch of beautiful plants! Then you get home and realize you didn’t get the one thing you went to the plant center for😂

[@sandidueckman1491]

@@annelindquist1868 yes, it is...seems to happen the odd time but I'm very happy with my decision. The Diervilla looks beautiful where it is. Now, I have to make a new plan for a Butterfly Bush! Lol

[@lauragreen4899]

Such beautiful bushes! I have never had those but I'm definitely going to add that to my list. And it was so exciting to see the flagstone pathways starting. Looking forward to that video. We did a flagstone walkway and stairs and patio over the last couple years and now I'm starting to plant around it all. I will definitely add butterfly bush to my growing list of plants I want. Thanks for all the fun inspiration. You guys are a blessing!

I'm also a professional gardener, my business is 26 years old this year, and I have designed many gardens and taken care of many plants in mid-coast Maine, with the help of a great crew. Can't imagine gardening in 100 degree weather...good for you for getting out there and doing what you need to keep your gardens going....Gardening is not for the faint of heart, especially when it gets hot, and if it's 90 degrees in midcoast Maine, than that's a very hot day and luckily we don't get many of those....Aren't you hotter gardening in black?

I've just planted some wildflower seeds and I'm getting ready to plant more soon. I'm very new, this is my first time and I'm so excited. My garden is a container garden as I just don't have the room to plant in ground but. I've just purchased 2 David Austin roses, they're my babies and I'm taking care of them and can't wait to see my lil yard full of bees and butterflies next year. My plant obsession is real and I'm looking forward to next year as I continue to add to my collection.

I caution you with "wildflower" as MOST aren't native and can actually carry seeds that are considered invasive in your area.

I have a narrow walkway between our retaining wall and our neighbors driveway and I have butterfly bushes on both sides with perennials. We call it butterfly alley. At times during the season, when you walk down this area the butterfly’s almost attack you they are so dense. We love it!

[@stephaniecrothers8482]

Gorgeous!!!! You'll keep them pruned back so they don't get overgrowned. We had to removed two overgrown butterfly bushes the year after we moved it. They weren't in the right place as it was planted a foot from the front walk, which is covered. I planted lavander grosso there instead and spaced them further from the main walk.

[@michelesimpson2237]

Flagstone pathway looks great. It’s gonna add so much to the garden.

[@BettyWhiteJr]

I just LOVE butterfly bushes! They are one of the few plants that thrive in my extremely sandy soil with next to no amendments. I typically have to add a LOT of amendments so my soil will hold water for longer than .004 seconds lol….but butterfly bushes are one that I can plant it and forget it. I water them in for a week then never touch them again. So soooo easy and gorgeous!

[@angelaengler2387]

My mom has sandy soil, Lupine do REALLY well for her, if you like them they’re super easy to grow from seed😊

[@BettyWhiteJr]

@@angelaengler2387 yes ma’am they do, I have quite a few!! Another great suggestion for sandy soils for sure! Sandy soil is a blessing and a curse. It definitely drains well, but it doesn’t hold water or nutrients because it drains a little too well. Finding plants that don’t need a lot of amending are blessings for sure!

[@kimmy0868]

I’m hoping my Miss Violet butterfly bush perks up. She’s in full sun, Sandy soil but not doing well. 🤞🤞🤞

[@leecorrigan8394]

You probably do great with lavender too do you?

[@BettyWhiteJr]

@@leecorrigan8394 yes, lavender does amazing here. Catmint, lantana, and daisies too. Root crops also do fantastic here, the loose sand is perfect for potatoes, carrots, etc. But things like arborvitae, hibiscus, hosta, etc…these need major soil amendments and either irrigation run or a really good watering schedule. Between the extreme heat, humidity, and super fast drying sand, they’re harder to keep up.

[@Aniohevotcha]

Love the pathway! It’s coming along nicely. I often wonder what your mum thinks of your beautiful garden and it’s development. It would be so fun to watch a walkabout with you and your mum! Maybe in the next garden tour??

Hello Carolyn How are you doing today

[@deetmar7esp]

Loved watching the planting of Butterfly bushes. I just tore out part of a garden and was thinking if putting in a butterfly bush so I enjoyed hearing about the different types. I feel bad that you do these things in the hottest part of the day. We get up pretty early so we can have everything done by 10:30 a.m. We don't have young children anymore so we don't have to get everybodybup, dressed, feed, etc.

[@jennamccleery2393]

Hi Laura & friends: I wanted to let you know a bit of background on why Eastern Oregon probably gets lumped in the non sterile butterfly bush zone. Short answer: birds. If birds eat the seed and fly west, then poop…the seed is planted. Always better to be safe than sorry. I live in Florida and you wouldn’t believe how easy it is for plants to “travel”. However, in Florida a plant only gets termed *Invasive* when it gets into natural areas AND pushes the native flora out. This is an ecosystem problem not a garden problem. Everyone who cares about creatures, also will care about not using invasive plants. For any friends in Florida, please only buy sterile lantana. If anyone wishes to know more you can check with your State Land Grant University for more information on what is invasive in your area. (Hope this was helpful and not annoying)

[@Sofiaee]

Thank you for writing this!

[@jennamccleery2393]

@@Sofiaee I tried not to sound like a know it all. The term “Invasive” is a confusing subject. Really it doesn’t mean how a plant acts in your garden but how it reacts in the natural environment where you live. I call plants that take over my yard Bullies instead of invasive. Anyone else have a better term for garden thugs?

[@GardenKath]

Exactly right. It drives me crazy when people scoff at invasive plants lists. Birds and other wildlife aren’t aware of state boundaries. 😄🙄

[@Sofiaee]

@@jennamccleery2393 i say agressive, because it can apply to any plant native or not. Bully works too I think

[@beverlycharles6534]

@jennamccleery2393 There are different cultivars that are not invasive. Some stay small and don't take over. She even stated the ones she is planting are STERILE!!! So... not sure why you even make this comment. I think she even said these don't get that big (I heard her even explain hers are Micro/dwarf sized). She clearly cares about staying away from invasive plants. My neighbor planted mint years ago, still have it popping up years. Later. Lol 😂 Small but mighty. Amazing.
