I love this little series because it is closer to what, I assume, a majority of viewers can accomplish in their own gardens. Your acres of land are gorgeous, for sure, and I love watching them develop, but this shows people with a modest spaced yard what they can do to make their own sanctuary. ❤ It’s going to be beautiful.

[@Melanietucker]

I think what I love most about this video is hearing Laura celebrate her sisters space. Laura has acres and acres of land. And yet she stands in awe of how beautiful her sisters small space is going to be. Very generous love, Laura.

[@lindylou3519]

Yes, the perk of having Laura as a sister is you get great free stuff. Lol

[@mosesdrygalov7815]

That’s kind of an odd way to look at it. Bigger doesn’t equal better. A well designed space, regardless of size, can be beautiful and inspiring

[@debratoofamoustomention8996]

Space appears larger because scale was maneuvered with different levels..created dimension... It's no longer just flat space

[@skylar1758]

for a californian who can barely get a patio let alone a backyard. her sister has an amazing backyard space ! Laura's almost seems like a park to me !

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Hard scape is a game changer. Dramatic difference right here. It’s a big investment, but it changes everything about the space - how it’s used, the feeling presented, and how it contributes to the beauty of the house. Just beautiful.

[@nikoleahmad2298]

Her garden is looking so good! Thank you for showing us the progress in a smaller backyard that's more relatable to some of us. It's super helpful and inspiring!

[@maryshields1935]

The stone wall adds so much interest to the garden. Love the curve leading up to the patio. You can tell how thrilled Monica is with her garden sanctuary!

[@jenniferfisher1743]

So exciting for Monica and her husband! Also, excellent job Pedro and crew!

[@lisamills4739]

Alnwick is pronounced “Anick” , named after Alnwick castle owned by the Duke of Northumberland ( the Percy family ). The Duke and his Duchess have created beautiful gardens that hopefully one day you and your family may have the opportunity of visiting. I love seeing you working together with your family , making lasting memories.

[@angelhelen84]

I feel sorry for Americans and British names, I am in the UK and there always seems to be a new name to learn, where it is not prounced phonetically (as you hope it would be).

[@loriboyce942]

Laura, I think it requires a field trip to Alnwick Castle so that we can thoroughly investigate.🌺🏰🏰

[@growingonthegriddle4945]

Monica could benefit from one of those auto mowers you and Aaron tried out a few years ago. She has a small enough space for it. I think what you guys have done to her back yard is AWESOME!! I know Monica will enjoy it, but I too am waiting to enjoy it in a finished video!!

[@SteveL2012]

So sweet. Monica’s excitement is palpable. What a wonderful team of sisters.

[@emptynestgardens9057]

Monica, seeing those rocks in that corner had all the fountain vibes. Like a natural waterfall into a tiny wildlife pond. 😊

[@BobbieJeanM]

My thought too when I saw the pile! 👌💕

[@bonniewilson7623]

That would be cool a water feature.

[@emptynestgardens9057]

I think Laura knows a guy that could hook you up Monica 😉😂

[@nancyzimmerman1982]

Yes, thought so also.

[@nancygrams9784]

Love the idea of a water feature! Beautiful already in its be beginning stages!❤️❤️❤️

[@dianequist835]

Don't you just love Monica's graciousness and gratitude? Such a beautiful soul ❤

[@Sunshine-cg9il]

❤ I agree she definitely has a beautiful soul.

[@michellejones716]

So proud for Monica, the whole place is just a sanctuary. I know you will enjoy the peace for many years to come.

[@donhorn548]

Well done. One of the best yard transformations. Please do followups, would love to watch the area develop over the next year or two. Really a good job guys!

[@janetyamashige9573]

Agree and yes, I too would love to see updates as the yard fills in and matures!

[@nadiamalen]

Ok, we are going to need REGULAR updates on Monica's garden now. Everything you two are putting in is so beautiful!!!

[@Lifeofwiley]

Monica, I feel the same excitement at the idea of a Hoselink! Also, what a crazy difference tiering makes! Great job!

[@jaleinegreen7411]

Monica is such a sweet and grateful soul! It is easy to see how much creativity runs in your family. Can’t wait to see the finished product, it’s going to be gorgeous.❣️🌸🍃🌺🌿🌲

[@highlandlakecottage4276]

I’m loving this space. What a difference the stone walls / beds make. To me, making the most of a space is a sign of a truly gift landscaper / gardener. This is a great example!

[@Bright-It]

Can not wait to see this project completed, the plants growing and blooming. Laura is an inspiration.

[@cathycorriher6313]

Monica has such a gentle spirit about her. Their garden and landscape will make their property come alive. So happy for her and hubby.

[@stephanieniederer8135]

It's amazing how much bigger her yard is looking already. It's amazing what designing your space wisely can do. ❤

[@wandabrown508]

I can't wait to see Monica's finished garden! The stone wall is a work of art!

[@suzettebergeron484]

To see two sisters working together and so excited about a project for one of them makes my heart so happy! 😊If only all families worked like this one-such a blessing to witness❤

[@isabellaabruzzi9611]

This project is amazing. I hope you will do updates so we can see the progress.

[@denisefaust1290]

Love this so much! Makes it so special because we all feel like we know Monica and love her. It is going to be gorgeous!

[@CAHM_1]

Sisters that bonk their heads together, stay together! Excellent choice to do the stone wall. Always amazes me how many different plants can be put in a smaller space and look awesome! Those Concord barberries take zero attention, which is great because they are prickly, are drought tolerant, but they bring a nice dark colour to the garden! Thanks for sharing Monica's space.

[@jenmigz]

One of my favorite things to do is shopping for plants and planting up new plants with my sister. Best friends for life. ❤

[@MicheleLHarvey]

Always sweet to see Monica & her backyard plan is wonderful! The stonework is a work of art & (as you would say) romances the ordinary! Very useful use of the space. A true pleasure garden. It's sure to be the envy of the neighborhood!

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Good Morning! 🌞I love the way things are shaping up! In the end Monica & Nick's backyard is going to be gorgeous! 🥰🌿🌳🙌💚

[@hjburns]

I'm so happy for Monica and Nick! Their backyard is beginning to take shape and I'm looking forward to seeing the raised beds go in. A question for Laura - How come you don't look like a hot mess after a day of work? I am quite the sight after working outside for the day.

[@patriciahartnett4776]

Laura, I’m so proud of you and Monica. It may sound trite, but it’s so fantastic to see women doing what was considered man’s work during my generation. I love watching your channel and can’t wait to see what summer brings.

[@lorieg7784]

Oh Monica it looks beautiful, so exciting! I'm so happy for you. So fun watching you both , can't wait to see more. Enjoy and have a wonderful day! Thanks for the video!

[@MoniqueARuiz]

I love this project! I have a much smaller yard than Monica, but seeing what she’s having planted, knowing it’s for a smaller space, is giving me lots of inspiration! Sometimes I pick things up that Laura has thinking I’ve got the same acreage as she does, only to later have to find a family member to gift it to 😂 🤷🏽‍♀️ c’est la vie!

[@More_Shenanigans]

I am so invested in how this lilac will develop. Please give us updates as it grows.

[@erinn5319]

Laura, your such a sweet sister to do this for Monica. 💕 It looks so beautiful. 💕Looking forward to seeing the end result.

[@michellemaxey8679]

If you read a title of the video and your heart skips a beat with excitement, you might be a Garden Answer fan!! 😂 Such a HUGE difference!! Love it!! ❤

[@CGriffinGo]

Do we get to meet Nick? He sounds like another great family member we haven't met.

[@lindahopps739]

So nice to see Monica so excited! A new garden holds so many possibilities and the chance to watch all your plant babies grow is a wonderfully exciting time. I’m sure she and Nick will want to spend as much time as possible in their new garden.

[@meliss36]

❤️ WOW, this is beautiful!! I can’t wait to see this space when the plants all grow and of course I know you will show all of us when it is all done. Love it all!! ❤

[@saraw8503]

And we hope for at least annual updates.

[@marthabradas8873]

Laura, your channel has really helped me so much, I can hardly put into words the encouragement I receive from your videos. I have very windy conditions so planning a landscape that will work with that wind is crucial. Also, I don't have any family to plant together, plan together, have fun together. However, watching you and Monica work together makes me happy and actually all of your family working together makes me smile. So thanks for sharing your home , your entire family, and mostly your superb knowledge. I can say you and your channel has had a big impact upon me. 🤩👋🙏👍

[@donnawalker3910]

Dang, you look at that soil and think, nothing could possibly grow in that! Love the rock work. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product and an update later in the season.

[@GrowWithTheFlow80]

You’ve created so much character in this space! When those trees mature, this garden will be a show stopper. I love how cozy it feels already. The step down is my favorite. The view from the patio is so lovely with the rock walls curving. I love this transformation!

[@altheab.8907]

Monica’s backyard is really coming into its own quickly. Love the Japanese maples. Beautiful!

[@suzannegault1725]

I love seeing sisters working together so sweetly. I know Monica loves to cook...it would be fun to see her fix a recipe with ingredients from her garden! 💖

[@heatherthomas6098]

I love seeing Monica and Nick's backyard coming together. The rock wall really does change the space in such a lovely way. This really inspires me and gives me ideas for my own yard. Good size but mostly a blank space. Seeing the back bed helped me so much! Thank you!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Absolutely gorgeous Monica 🌹

[@holly_kay5570]

You've really turned it into a living space. I hope you show us how to prune the lilac into an arch.

[@maureenodendahl5057]

Monica and Laura working together on Monica's landscape!! Shaping into a beautiful and comfortable outside area to enjoy!!

[@waitingpatientlyforsummer]

I love Monica. She's so sweet. I loved your oouing and ahhing together. You guys are cute. Wishing you all the best in your new garden Monicas!

[@bobr9895]

Another beautiful project. You two are a good team! Can't wait to go back next year and see how it's grown.

[@cathyscreationandvlog4224]

It's a real treat to see your sisters garden here on KZbin.

[@Bodiy]

I would be in the back yard all the time now it is going to be beautiful your sister is so fortunate to have your help with this project just an amazing difference

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Oh my goodness it's looking so very beautiful. Lot's of hard good work. I'm so very happy for Monica and her husband. Can't wait to see Monica's yard whe it's all done. You 2 girls remind me and my sister, she's to years older than me and we both are retired and we have always loved to work out in our yards and we help each other in our flower garden's. I'm so very excited for Monica, she deserves this so much. 2 sister's so sweet.❤❤

[@niteshimmeror9847]

What a special retreat this will be in the evenings and on weekends! This is such a great sister project to watch it develop and the memories you will share as it grows. You are both very blessed to have those times.

[@janevt.2280]

Aren’t you girls lucky to have each other to bounce ideas off of! Think this garden space will turn out just beautiful, so many great touches all over. Look forward to seeing the completed project and to watch it grow!

[@stephanielynnhome]

It’s turning out so beautiful! I’m so glad you showed the pictures and talked about how big each plant will be, I’m a Florida girl and we don’t have any of those plants here. Can you please show the garden once it has grown in more! I would love to see it as it matures 😊. Love all your videos! -Stephanie

[@angieperez577]

I've enjoyed this series the most because she has an average size backyard like most of us, and it allows me to see realistically the possibilities for my own backyard.

[@baxterbuggie8873]

What a happy project! LOL on that arbor..."That was a bugger."

[@saraw8503]

So enjoyable to see how a smaller yard can have multiple facets and spaces.

[@jasonyoder2187]

This is going to be such a beautiful garden. It's great that you can turn a smaller back yard into a space with a yard, beds for flowers, and a raised bed veggie garden. Talk about maximizing your space!

[@KristenBaziinga]

It is pronounced 'Annick'. They've actually stopped selling that Rose :( I live in Newcastle, about 40 mins from Alnwick. There's a castle and beautiful garden with a Poison Garden. It's also the castle they used as Hogwarts. :)

[@heatherderganc5984]

Very cool!

[@robertbaker9775]

Oh my goodness, Laura, this is one of your very best videos ever! I just can't even imagine how much your parents must love seeing the two of you together living out their gardening dreams! Monica and Nick's yard is going to be such a beautiful showplace. This project is awesome in every way❣️ Linda

[@maryk1668]

I want that wall!! Such architectural interest and great backdrop for plantings. The workers did a beautiful installation ❤

[@carolburriss16]

Monica we are so excited for you and your husband’s beautiful yard. Thank you Laura for taking us along. ❤

[@stephaniekellermann6384]

Laura, you get the Best Big Sister award. I recall you mentioning in several videos that you're not a landscape planner, but I don't know about that, this space is inspiring! I'm so happy for Monica and her family. I really enjoy your family project collaborations. Can't wait to watch Monica's garden develop over time.

[@brees6424]

That is the most glorious japanese maple! Her backyard is going to be absolutely sensational. I love it.

[@WinterEC]

As a Southeasterner, I marvel at your ability to use those massive augers in your soil. I'm 6'2" 220lbs and if I tried to get one 1/2 that diameter into our rocky red clay soil, I'm 100% sure I would need reconstructive shoulder surgery within about 3 holes.

[@vickimurphy590]

Good morning 🌄 from Maryland. I love to watch the transformation of Monica's landscape.

[@JanieH10]

For someone who doesn’t like designing gardens for other people you sure have taken on some terrific projects this spring! It’s been so fun to watch the transformation. Oh and when planting in a new construction like Monica’s we can really get a feel for your high desert terrain. Like dust!

[@lovewins8238]

You ladies are true artist. I love everything about this project. The trees are absolutely gorgeous! Of course, I’ve never met an arbor I didn’t like or a Rose for that matter. That stone wall adds so much character to the entire backyard and is spectacular! Bravo to all of you! 👏👏👏🎉

[@DebzZi]

It's going to be so cosy!! Great job girls! Pedro sure is going to have to hire some help as I think his marketing just went up several notches, thanks to Laura singing his praises & displaying his praises 😊😊😊 The stonework is excellent!

[@carollambert9103]

Best big sister ever. Ypu 2 are sich a team! It looks great! Love the choice of that boxwood wall! Great plant/tree choices! Good job girls!

[@ilenehorowitz3060]

I LOVE Monica's "secret garden" back yard. You two are quite the team. Please give us updates in the fall and next spring.

[@rafaellaburkley]

Oh my gosh this is such a beautiful place. My backyard is about the same size and I love watching this series thanks Monica for letting Laura show this process to us ❤

[@waltersmialowicz7878]

What a beautiful transformation. . Sisters working together...priceless. 🥰

[@victoriaeaton7298]

Can't wait for Nick to see everything you and Monica did today. It was so fun to see you both so excited and hear both of you in conversation. Such a nice relationship. Also a shout out to Pedro and his crew - awesome job. Loved the video.

[@victoriajohnson5304]

THE POWER OF LOVE!!! 💖💖🌞🌻🌞💖💖

[@lisaoh2822]

I love everything! Can’t wait to see the completed project. I love when you do these types of projects - great job!!

[@marblehead3398]

Monica, I'm so happy and excited for you. 🤗 I love the stone steps, wall and arched arbor. Great color on your fence too. Gorgeous 💜

[@feliciacardone8900]

A beautiful sanctuary full of color and fun stuff for Monica to enjoy for many years to come.❤

[@christinelewis1825]

So happy for Monica! She is a sweetheart! It will be a beautiful backyard garden!

[@mjkzkn11]

They have added several more rooms to their new home. It’s so beautiful and you’re not even finished!

[@Sharon_marie70]

I love Monica's yard and the different areas. I love the arbor and the boxwoods. Her yard gives me ideas on what I could do with mine. A smaller space can be really beautiful and interesting!

[@angelas4681]

The rock walls look fantastic. I love the garden design and that birch is GORGEOUS.

[@dpetty3533]

So excited for Monica and Nick to have that space to relax. It'll attract so many birds and pollinators for them to watch at work.

[@penelopehammerton2907]

What a lovely design. And how much bigger the garden looks now the stonework is in place. Hope Monica and her husband will have many happy hours spent in this garden. 👏🧑‍🌾🤗

[@serenababy6358]

You two are doing a great job on Monica's yard! You are very lucky to have each other. 😊

[@DianeCee0]

So pretty! I love how everyone in the family has matching raised bed gardens.

[@rosemarythyme6351]

So happy for Monica & Nick! With each passing season, this design will become more and more beautiful as the plants become established in their new homes and thrive! I love that Monica considered how the garden will look in the evening with a drift of David phlox.

[@yiayia100]

The stonework, the plantings and some lush green grass will make for a glorious setting to relax in. So fun to watch you both together working this project, sisters don't always see eye to eye but you both seem to enjoy working together, not only here but at the garden center as well. Love watching this coming together 🌱🥀💮🌻

[@emmagush8023]

Laura, you have done such a magnificent planting and designing of Monica's garden it looks gorgeous, and when it is in full bloom it is going to be spectacular thanks for sharing all your garden and design plans. Please keep us in the loop with the garden maturing in the coming months.

[@wynorawishum5860]

Monica's back garden is really coming together and is going to be so nice. Great video.

[@sandragoodson1892]

It was helpful to see a typical blank slate yard take shape. Most of us just don't have the know-how or confidence to tackle something like this. Watching Monica's yard take shape from literally dirt gives us noobs who want to transform our own yards some real useful ideas about how to go about fixing up a smaller space.

[@maryjocollard8282]

I got all excited seeing the stones in the corner thinking there was a pond going in. The yard is really shaping up. Love the stone work.

[@glendapeters8899]

What a change from what it was! Monica is so blessed to have Laura for a sister but I'm sure she'd do well with the planning herself! Can't wait to see the progress here and at their mom's yard!

[@TiffanyP1019]

I love how it’s coming along! I also love how Monica decided to do the living hedge! Love love love it!

[@debiedove8807]

Ladies you have outdone yourselves! So much awesome in this yard..and all those gorgeous plants, it does seem bigger now! I can’t wait to watch the progress on this beautiful yard !! 👏 👏 👏

[@donnaolson922]

You and your sister are so cute! You talk exactly the same! I’m really loving seeing this space come together. I need a Laura in my life! ❤

[@allisonehresmangrussenmeye8082]

So happy for Monica! She looks so excited!

[@mariafolch8067]

Monica's yard work would make a perfect DIY video from start to finish. Great job ladies!! Perhaps is the perception looking at that wall towards the end; but, it looks to me that those arborvitaes should have been planted 12 more inches away from the fence. Excited to see the end result.🌿☘🌾🍁

[@shinenshimmer]

Monica works in a garden center and she has access to everything beautiful! Her parents and sister’s garden as we all know is amazing! To pick and choose plants for her own yard and to stick to them without gettin distracted must NOT be easy! Kudos to you and nick for knowing what exactly what YOU both want ❤️ Cannot wait to see how this space looks few years from now. Most of us actually have spaces like this! Thank you so much for sharing this. Very very helpful! Encouraging And doable!
