Call me crazy, but did anyone else hear those planted boxwoods sighing a sigh of relief as they were put into the ground? They just look magnificent! Well done Laura and Aaron…and Bethany and Paul…and Benny and crew, and Chad! Amazing!

[@kaylah3889]

This is so exciting! Thank you for bringing us along in this process. How about four statues of the seasons in those four new flower beds?

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Great idea!

[@lonnyflath6126]

Eine super schöne Idee ! Bietet sich ja geradezu an ! Lg aus Deutschland 🙋‍♀️🌲👍👍👏👏

[@juliedudrick4885]

Love that idea!

[@marmaladesunrise]

MARVELOUS IDEA! That would be perfection.

[@ivyandroses25]

Just like her Parent's garden! Could be a nice tribute. 🙂

This video could have been 3 hours long and I would have loved every second of it! 💖🌱😊

Yeah I didn’t want it to end!!!

Maybe we should lobby for a Garden Answer movie! I'd watch it. Heck I'd even buy it. lol

[@sharionwhitley3045]

Absolutely stunning!

[@altheab.8907]

Boxwoods around the Hartley AND large evergreens in the same video. Wonderful! How can you stop gazing at the Hartley for even 5 minutes? The brickwork is magnificent and the boxwoods and maple trees are making it come life. Gorgeous! I think I would just sit in front of a window and gaze out at it for hours with a huge smile on my face. The walkways are really going to make it shine! 😊💖🦋🕊

[@stephaniehaynes27]

Same!

[@Erikajp]

I can envision David Austin roses in each bed, soft golds, blushes, creams and peaches... and/or gaura. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@marmaladesunrise]

LOVE THAT IDEA! David Austin roses would be at home with the Hartley look and formality of the surrounding garden. Something hardy similar to others on the property, like the Italian Ice. Anyway Laura has the Midas touch when it comes to choosing quality roses.

[@jaysgardenandphotography]

[@Bamboo4U2]

I don't know about that. I'd be reluctant to put too many rose plants near each other, especially with all the problems roses come with. I guess it depends where you live.

[@marmaladesunrise]

@@darlenelovesJesus Agree.

[@denisedorsey2889]

@@darlenelovesJesus actually she’s quite far from Portland. There’s a mountain range in between which creates a rain shadow. The climate is very different.

[@cherylstuckey4358]

I kept saying “ Oh my!!!” My husband came in and asked why do you keep saying, Oh my!!? I said look!!! It is soooo beautiful! It’s coming together you guys! Thank you so much for letting us join you on this journey 😁

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Know very well that “Oh, my” feeling when watching this. Breathtaking isn’t it?

[@RaeC]

You should feel so proud of yourselves to see your dreams transform right before your eyes. It’s so beautiful by the greenhouse and I can’t wait to see it surrounded by Christmas lights with a big tree in there. Have a Happy Halloween, enjoy the day 🎃

[@sc00badive]

What a thrill! It was all happening at once, the big evergreens and the boxwoods, and a visit to Andrews. I love seeing it happen, thank you for including us.

[@terrivance8750]

Laura Aaron, Watching the tree guys unwind the rope from the Spruce was magical--almost like unwrapping a Christmas present! 😊

[@Housewarmin]

I remember when y’all were still waiting on the city to get the old gazebo. Oh how time flies!

[@candicespencer2021]

Woohoo! This is the day we have all been waiting for since the Hartley arrived! It’s going to be so beautiful Laura and Aaron! Loved watching Samantha walking back and forth on the brick!

[@heatherw.2751]

Wow!!!! Well done y’all! I know you aren’t professional landscapers but the design plan and execution is better than most of the pros I’ve seen and I’ve worked in the green industry for years! Really exciting stuff!

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Laura 👏🏻 I’m squealing with excitement for you!👏🏻Finally🙌🏻 planting the boxwoods!

[@kristydudgeon.]

Feeding everyone’s soul here Laura! Not sure if you realise how excited we are to see this video.. finally. I know you are in the same boat! Thanks for sharing!

[@rebekkah4419]

❤❤❤ LOL… ‘Little Laura’ er, I mean Samantha Grace is SO adorable! Of course she would walk up and down the bricks! ❤❤❤

[@victoriaguglielmetti3637]

You can tell Aaron is really excited and proud of all the trees! So happy for you both. A beautiful transformation. ❤

[@chichitex1252]

What a fun start for the morning! The boxwoods look fantastic, and, OMG, those beautiful trees 🌲!!! It’s a miracle to me to see those huge trees dug up with that incredible invention of a tree digger and just brought many miles and dropped in their new space! Instant gratification. What fun. Your place is changing so much and I thank you for sharing the process with us all!

[@princessryann2581]

Darlene Echavarria: Wow! Love how these boxwoods and bricks make it look formal garden! You do such wonderful planning on new areas! Everything coming together just like you say! Seeing Samatha come out running around ! New trees sure put giant smile on Aaron face! ❤️🤍💚💚💚🧱🧱🧱🌲🌲🌲🌲🌈

[@kierstin1989]

Did I see leopard print lining Samantha's adorable coat? So cute!!

[@andreabenson2491]

Wow, I cried! I would not be able to stop going out there to look at it!! It is coming along so wonderfully! Also, still mesmerized by the big evergreen trees being planted!👍👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 It's all turning into quite the wonderland!😊

[@kbechtel33]

There's something to be said about planting an older more mature 🤔 tree. GORGEOUS 🥰

[@laraemitchell9064]

This is all looking so good! The boxwood planting in another very big project that you guys are so good at making look easy! And can we just mention the big giant evergreen trees?! How amazing and grand those are!!!💚💚💚

[@kaylac3367]

Lots of excitement today! New glorious trees and finally planting boxwoods around the Hartley! Your plans and dreams are coming together. I'm very happy for ya'll!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

It makes me so happy to finally see some planting going in around your Hartley! 🙌🙌🙌

[@kellyfriess5217]

Those tree planting machines are so cool!

[@Scoutnuts]

It's always awesome to see the changes. Can you do more drone videos maybe once a month to really show the great look?

[@shannonbauch1942]

I just love you and Aaron together. I know you don't film arguments, etc.. But you guys just seem so supportive of each other and have fantastic personalities that compliment each other! Also, this whole area is amazing. The whole property is beautiful. Thank you for taking us along in your adventures!

[@melissaallenmainegardener4574]

I think it would be so awesome to see Montey Don walk through your gardens

[@marilyns7043]

Sharing your projects is such a gift to watch! I love how you talk through your thought process as you plant and design your beds. I learn so much watching you and we’re all in there celebrating your beautiful spaces with you. And many of us are creating our own magical garden spaces because of your inspiration! You are a gift to the world! Thank you Laura and Aaron!

The Hartley in the fog looks awesome. Love it

[@jessicauncasam61]

Wow beautiful! I like to look into getting a tree as big as this in my yard one day. I agree it's beautiful.

[@helenhunter4540]

I love her enthusiasm and detailed knowledge of what she's doing and why or what she'll do if her first idea doesn't work as she'd hoped!

[@tinam9844]

Wow, what a beautiful statement. It is absolutely stunning! YES, 36in long augers are the way to go, and you just got to love the Dewalt cement mixer drill. With these tools I plant 1000s of bulbs every year! The work, as Laura says "is worth the reward"😉

[@laurarymer6500]

So heartwarming to see you you people working your property side by side just love seeing this … your good ol’ days! Praying good and great days and nights ahead for you r family your mommas family tooo from ocala florida and my family here just cant tell you enough how much impact you have in my life thankful Immensely so❤

The Hartley area is looking so beautiful❣️those boxwoods will be so happy now. I would be just walking through and taking it all in several times a day!

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Loved seeing how the trees are planted. It never gets old! Oh those boxwoods are perfect for around the Hartley. Loving all the progress! Thanks for taking us along. Enjoy your day. xo

Your property is looking more beautiful every day. I am amazed at the process of bringing in the new trees. The way the holes are dug and the trees are put into the ground is fascinating. Loving these videos.

[@peter.g6618]

Hi Laura. It's going to look beautiful when it's all fully matured. Fantastic video. Great job! 👍

[@KristopherNexus]

Laura, everything looks Amazing! It’s so great seeing this come together. 💙💙

[@sandyk8321]

I love watching you and Aaron work together. My husband and I also love working in our garden spaces together when time allows us to. You are truly blessed that you get to work todo it every day…..and if I may add, Samantha Grace toddling on the brick border was ADORABLE! 🤗

[@robertparker8669]

Love little Samantha walking the brick border!❤

How about one of those big large bowl water gardens for the center of the 4 beds? It could include a small bubble fountain to keep the water moving and all the beautiful water plants. Loving all of your choices. So inspiring!

Laura is such a visual person, everything she puts together is aesthetically pleasing. I've seen a lot of gardens on YT and hands down, Laura's property is the most beautiful.

[@karencassar5340]

I think we can all agree that this winter will be Laura’s happiest ever 😊

[@lonnyflath6126]

Hallo Laura und Aaron, euer Anwesen hat sich immer nur positiv entwickelt ! Ihr seid aber auch so fleißig ! Die Gegend um das Hartley entwickelt sich ja fast zu einem kleinen Versailles ! Es ist eine Freude, euch zuzuschauen. Und das junge Menschen sich so intensiv für das Thema Garten interessieren ! Ganz viele Daumen hoch und viele liebe Grüße auch an die Fangemeinde ! 🙋‍♀️🌲☕️🌞👍👍👍👍👍

[@cindielbrecht557]

Exciting! You have to arrange a “toasting” ! A tribute of sorts, with all that contributed to this project, the gentleman that erected the Hartley, Bennie and crew, etc. And maybe invite a viewer (like me)! Do a whole thing with video snips like the day the Hartley sat in driveway in plastic wrap and the old gazebo getting removed. It’s a beautiful project that needs celebrating !

[@rebeccagray2591]

Absolutely love watching the new tree’s come in. When we built our home surrounded by woods it was so pretty, especially in the autumn. I would say it was about 6 yrs most all of the tree’s in our woods around our home (and in most of NY Finger lakes area have died as the are ash trees). The whole area has nothing but grey dead trees where all the limbs have fallen off and it’s just the tree’s standing there. All of them were all attacked by a certain bug and it traveled fast right through our county. My husband and I started cutting down the dead tree’s because they were unsightly and some of them are very close to our home. I told my husband that for every tree we have to cut down we need to plant another tree in its place. But we are having a difficult time trying to figure out what kind of trees we should plant that will grow healthy and live a long life and be absolutely beautiful like all of yours are. We do have quite a few different kinds of evergreens that we planted going on 30 years ago now. 🙏🏼🌲 My husband and I love watching you guys put in all of these beautiful trees, no matter what kind they are, they’re all so beautiful. we love watching everything that you guys do and we have learned so much and we appreciate that a lot. Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful projects and knowledge with all of us. Oh, and you have such a beautiful family and we thank you for sharing them also. I love all the adventures of antique shopping you do with your mom and sister😊👍 Thank you again, Becky Gray

[@Sunshinelady]

Oh how exciting…I’ve so been waiting for this day!!🌳🌳🌳

[@carolhendley760]

Everything is beautiful! Yours and Aaron’s thoughtful planning has resulted in a true work of art. Also a shoutout to all the talented folks who have helped y’all realize your dream, they are experts for sure.

[@juliedowdle3529]

You are very brave, Laura and Aaron for taking on all that hedge trimming of the boxwoods! That’s a lot of extra work! Your designs are really beautiful. Hope all the boxwoods take. 😊

[@ckunclrs]

OMG, Samantha is so CUTE in her little jacket. I just love seeing you & Aaron working together! All I can think about is when your older how you both will enjoy watching these videos together. What lovely memories in the making.

[@kareharpies]

Did you really cry? I always wonder if people are being hyperbolic or if i am not an emotional person.

[@jillshippy5157]

@@kareharpies I said “I teared up”, which means tears welled up in my eyes. I did not fully cry. No tears came down my face. I know the joy that hard work brings and I have watched Laura & Aaron work extremely hard to achieve their goals and have watched how their property has developed with their talents. In addition, seeing what they have done with the flora that God has created makes me worship Him all the more and appreciate what He has given to us. It is not unusual for me to feel overwhelmed by God’s beauty in a natural setting or in a planned space as it’s HIS creation that makes it equally beautiful. And we people are each perfectly and uniquely made. Some are more emotional than others. It’s all good‼️

[@beccalex89]

I can't imagine how happy you are to start to see this project come together! I have been counting the days along with you to button up the garden around the heartley - so satisfying! I can't wait to see it this Spring.

Make the boxwood formal garden area into a fragrance garden... roses, lavenders etc. Then while sitting inside, open the Hartley doors and enjoy the fragrant breeze. Cocktails mandatory!

[@ArtByLaCo]

Wow this is all so exciting! I know you said you're going to spend time thinking about it this winter but what are some of your ideas for planting inside the boxwood hedges? Hydrangeas? Russian sage? It's going to look incredible next summer ☀️

They made the mistake and you should not be expected to pay for it. IMO.... 👋Hi Aaron!!! Making a quick pass-through appearance? Nope, you are going to help with planting boxwoods!!! 🤗🤩 Ooooh, another foggy morning, when the Spruce planting was filmed. I love foggy days. UHMMM, as long as I don't have to drive in it. 😉😂🤣😂 What a beautiful Spruce tree!!!! The placement is perfect, too. I am sooooooooo confused now, on your property.

Great performers in my Metro Atlanta garden. I’m sure yours will do well for you too! The new formal garden around the Harley is looking so beautiful already Laura!
