Loved hearing the sound of the pruners snipping off spent roses, the birds singing, and the water fountain in the background!🐤💦🌹

[@kabodick]

Yes, that was very nice 😊.

[@summawub]

Same!

[@susan225100]

So nice and relaxing!

[@brittanylay9977]

I much prefer the sounds of her environment over the music. I always end up zoning out during the music.

[@rebeccabee6615]

I agree! So relaxing!

[@gardensglory1229]

Thank you for not speeding up the cutting of the boscabel roses! I so enjoyed the sounds of the water, the birds, the clippers, and even the airplane! So relaxing! Deanna

[@pollytiks3885]

Agreed!!

[@agood1]

it was pretty relaxing! loved that! dreaming of my garden growing and being out there peacefully pruning and tidying. cant wait Im at least a season away. that was nice.

[@Matt_H2O]

Looking awesome Laura. I love the way you scold the weeds, "Masquerading as a Flox, I don't think so!" 🤣💖🌷🌲🌹🌸🌼

[@rtshaw3621]

I wish she would put that on a T shirt.

[@Lacey823]

It’s been an emotional day for me, and I just want to tell you, Laura, what a sweet gift it is to spend some time with you this evening, even if it is just on my TV. I know it sounds goofy, but it’s like visiting with a dear friend. I’m so thankful for you! ❤

[@diannehiggs]

Well said. I think many of us feel the same way. What a blessing Laura, Aaron and family are to the world!!!❤❤❤

[@eury5405]

She is literally an escape from my stressful, overwhelmed life. Honestly, sometimes these are the happiest, most beautiful 15-30 minutes of my day.

[@kristinburton4953]

@@eury5405 When ya look to see if a video is posted yet ya know ya love a channel.☺

[@jackiedavies9020]

Definitely, a wonderful place to forget your troubles! I’m grateful for Laura and Aaron! ❤

[@heatherwoods5703]

Bless you. I pray you'll feel peace. 🙏

[@Gin0827]

Thank you for doing real time (not sped up) deadheading the pink roses!! Love this!

[@kristinburton4953]

I sprayed my rose fragrance over myself when I was watching.😊

[@gretchenburton7184]

Yes. Much preferred❤

[@telsclark]

[@annehedlund7333]

Deadheading big roses takes lots of time, but time well spent!

[@karengenero9012]

Aaron recently mentioned wanting a "Plant some freaking trees" t-shirt. Laura needs one that says "Let's get tidy!" 😊. I'd like both!!

[@laurelcomeaux4723]

Or the “Killer Plant” t-shirt (when talking about the mangave!

[@rtshaw3621]

I like that! And her comment about the weed made me laugh that would be a good one also, "Masquerading as a flower "I don't think so"! With weed among flowers on it.

[@tinafehr8394]

Truly enjoy hearing the snip while pruning and the water of the fountain and the birds chirping. That’s part of gardening.

[@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq]

The birds then the Dove along with the water from the fountain I could listen to for hours. Everything is looking beautiful as always.

[@peggylyden7943]

This video was so relatable, real time, birds singing, water trickling. That’s how I spend 80% of my gardening time. I don’t think you added any new plants, or spent a dime. Just bliss. 🌸🥰🌱

[@barbaraann7173]

Good Morning GA family....don't you love hearing the doves & birdies in the background as Laura is pruning the roses....music to my ears!!

[@lsross5894]

I'm happy to see that gigantic hollyhock standing alone, tall and proud. It is like the GA Sentry, on duty and ready to be beautiful.

[@tonigardella4165]

I love the sound of the birds while you were deadheading your rose .Everything is looking incredible!❤️🌸

[@LietteL-ll7nu]

How enjoyable it is to hear all the garden sounds, the water from the big fountain, the birds, the airplane flying overhead and the clic clic for the pruners. Just sitting here relaxing with you.

[@tydanum]

What a wonderful life you have with your family, so rewarding, but it is also hard work especially looking after your garden. We all appreciate your videos, I find them so therapeutic 👏🏻👏🏻🥰🇬🇧

[@paulinemarks6207]

I really enjoy listening to your water fountain while you dead head your roses!❤❤❤

[@kebergify]

The NERVE of that weed "masquerading as a phlox"! You tell it, Laura!! LOL The peaceful sounds of the fountain and birds while deadheading the rose at the end...perfection. And this without humidity would actually BE perfection! (Midwest gardener here & am hating the humidity today). Happy gardening, everyone!!

[@marmaladesunrise]

It was an absolute joy to watch Laura walk us through her garden and demonstrate how she maintains its order. It's just so relaxing. ❤

[@markstuckey3801]

3 years ago I planted a row of 70 North Pole arborvitae after being inspired by yours and I’m SO THANKFUL 🙏🏻

[@staceyallard2692]

That is so awesome! The day they planted theirs was so inspiring to me. They are beautiful. Aaron has done a fantastic job keeping up with them!

[@Edu_Kate]

I just planted 3 'Sting' arborvitae. One looks fantastic, but the others look a bit sad. I divided them from one can then delayed planting them in the ground for a couple weeks. They looked a bit crispy despite our prolific rainfall. I'm hopeful the Plant-tone and Land & Sea compost I used will help them rebound. Just need to stake the tiny plants and straighten them out. 20'?! I doubt they'll reach that height in my sandy soil.

[@apsilveiraa]

Thank you for explaining the cuts closely and in detail. It makes all the difference to understanding!

[@lyonhawaii]

I love the way your beds are starting to look so developed and more layered! Yall are doing a great job showing me how to plan and wait and be patient for future garden development. I guess you both are teaching me to enjoy the journey! 😂 Thankyou!

[@kellieleahy66]

Beautiful! I thoroughly enjoyed the rose pruning without music. It felt like I was standing on the walkway learning from an expert gardener. It was truly relaxing.

[@missouriartiste]

Good morning Garden Answer lovers! Cheers and have a great day!!!

[@medinasod2013]

Good morning from Santa Barbara have a wonderful day!

[@Nikki7B]

Goodmorning everyone. Wishing you all a great day:) cheers from Ontario Canada.

[@medinasod2013]

Thank you and the same to you from Santa Barbara

[@luciethibodeau4137]

Bonjour Laura, thank you so much for all the time that you are giving us. I love to hear the sound of the water and the birds while you are working. 🥰

[@melissakeese4079]

Thank you for permission to cut back salvia!!! Also I truly enjoyed the real-time, no-music rose dead heading at around 11:15. The sounds of your garden is music and the pace is truly what gardening is. The sped up projects can be a little chaotic. Thank you for the reprieve.

[@susan225100]

The slower pace was just what I needed this morning. I enjoyed it very much!

[@pollytiks3885]

Same!

[@cynthialagraff4144]

I feel the same. No matter what’s taking place in my life good and bad I say my prayers first and tune in to your latest video and it just uplifts me beyond measure. I know I’m not your family but I feel like it in a way. You are so special. I thank God for you and the sharing of your work and your family. God has truly blessed you. I hope you show the garlic preserving or freezing the way you do it. I would love to see you make some dishes using the garlic. Your cooking is so enjoyable and you do grow most of it so it totally ties in to your garden show. A faithful fan from the beginning. 😊

[@rtshaw3621]

Little girl you work so hard and it shows. Marvelous garden so peaceful, with the chickens and fountain. Thank you again for taking me with you.

[@goldierocks.]

Whoever is doing editing, three cheers to you! These last few videos in particular have been especially fun to watch.

[@joyces.9021]

Loved listening to the birds and the water (and the plane) while you deadheaded the roses.

[@pc1189]

What a pleasure watching today’s reel thanks for real time like the old days

[@missouriartiste]

I love that west garden walk! It is so beautiful and brings me to an English Garden in my mind.

[@karysu51]

I think it's my favorite space on your property being full grown and flushed oust.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

It’s so nice to be able to see those beautiful urns! To me the elderberry is pretty but overshadows that particular garden space. However, as Aaron so rightly said, it’s your garden, do what makes you happy. 😊

[@sue2611]

The crew that trimmed the boxwood did a wonderful job. They're looking good.

[@susan225100]

I loved this video!! One of my favorites, for sure! It was so satisfying to watch the cleanup, and then watching the real-time deadheading with the sounds of the birds and the fountain was so relaxing! Thank you for that! 😊

[@robertparker8669]

Good Morning from Alabama. Love the natural sounds as you work, even the plane. Better than some of the music, it can be distracting at times. Beautiful, lovely gardens!

[@tammybailey4330]

Thank you for explaining the clean up methods for Salvia. ❤

[@Ashley_Christine]

I love this type of video. As a novice gardener I appreciate seeing how you manage the plants as well as a quick overview of what’s growing. Thank you!

[@nolastakem9131]

I loved hearing thr birds singing and the water fountain on morning two, so peaceful ❤❤❤

[@GrammyinColorado]

Especially loved the real time deadheading of the roses with the fountain and bird sounds!! It was so relaxing to watch and made me feel like I was there too.

[@melanieb1331]

Yall work so hard but your living alot of our dream lives. Thank you for doing videos for all of us. I pray you continue to be blessed.

[@johnchavez8677]

lol. I'm not dreaming of getting up at 4:00 a.m. in the morning like Laura does to tend the garden. I'll sleep in and watch Laura do all the work. RC

[@frasersgirl4383]

Listening to the doves reminds me of my garden which I can’t tend anymore…..❤️🥺❤️

[@Jamie9356]

Considering all of the amazing plants you have that attract the honey bees, have you ever considered adding bee hives to your menagerie?

[@Lacey823]

I’m so grateful for the encouragement to start cutting back and cleaning up… I’ve been having such fun planting, but need to pause for maintenance! 😂 Those elderberries’ transformation is inspiring!! I’m curious how long this entire cleanup project took you to do… you make it look effortless! ❤

[@debfalcon]

Living in the city I do not get to hear the sounds of summer like you let us listen to while you were trimming the roses. That was nice, thank you.

[@shaniaa9287]

Not enjoying the music but Laura and her gardening videos are stellar. Thanks for brightening my day and not making me feel guilty because I'm learning something as I'm having my coffee 😁❤❤❤

[@saras9840]

Did you find the music loop too repetitive?

[@dotw2172]

​@@saras9840 I prefer the sound of clippers and birds, personally lol

[@patriciaMIA]

@@dotw2172lol now that you mention it… the repetition sound on the clippers is like that asmr (or whatever it’s called)

[@patriciagurwitz509]

Lovin’ the music 🎻🎼🎹

[@laurelechavarria7006]

How nice to see roses without black spot! Here in W Pennsylvania it’s a given each year that we battle this nasty beast so it’s a gift to see such healthy roses.

[@LS-el7sf]

I'm always shocked to see roses with sooooo many healthy green leaves - no blackspot, no japanese beetles and no deer - paradise!

[@annehedlund7333]

Amazing to those of us plagued by pests!!

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

11:30 hearing the waterfall, the birds chirping, and the sound of the Felcos was wonderful!!!❤

[@amyc4259]

Such a wonderful job of editing these videos, Aaron. It's almost like a meditation to watch. I've been gardening for decades, but I still learn so much from you, Laura. Currently, I have a wildlife garden, and I love it so much, but in my next life, I'm putting in the order to do what you do. 😂 A multigenerational family business around gardening and sharing it. Love it! 😊

[@HoustonKeith72]

This is my favorite of your beds. Such a beautiful balance between your love of formality and casual cottage elements that keep it warm and inviting. I especially love beds that mix in roses which add that touch of romance.

[@joannechapman8455]

You make all the work look so easy!…even all the camera angle/view changes and I know in reality that takes a long time! Thank you for making the effort to capture it all for us to view.

[@annehedlund7333]

Definitely appreciate all the effort!

[@heatherderganc5984]

The West Side is my favorite garden area! 💚💚💚

[@dougieduck95]

I don’t know why but I love watching you working in the garden. Makes me feel like I’ve done it with you! Although I then have to go in to my garden to do something that comes from your video. Love your channel so much even the dogs love watching it. Thanks Just do it because you enjoy it without stress or burn out,

[@vickirose87]

The windier it gets, the faster she goes! Thanks for the deadheading tips!

[@DarrinsDaffs]

laura, i'm so happy that there are beekeeper near you. Watching all of your uploads this week I keep meaning to complement you on the camera. I feel like you have a new one now. You were always so sharply and focused and then there's a lovely soft focus in the background. I don't know who to thank for that, but I think it's both flattering and great!

[@suziediva]

Lovely video! Garden is looking gorgeous 🥰🥰 Btw... loved the birds chirping, sounds from the water fountain & a regular paced trimming of the rose bushes👌 precious❤

[@LibbyfromWVZONE6B]

Sometimes I am hesitant to prune because I am unsure. Watching your methods and close view is very helpful. Thank you.

[@sjwestmo]

I always like these videos of garden chores

[@sallythompson2635]

This last Friday my daughter and I went on a road-trip to from Bend Oregon to Ontario. I had never been that far east. It was a great adventure. We stopped at Andrew’s and was so happy to find so things I have been looking for aka Tater tot and several other things. Monica and all the staff were so friendly. We were very excited that we were there during the sale. I wish I lived closer such a wonderful nursery. Thanks for all your inspiration.

[@pennywalker8910]

Ahhhh the fountain and rose pruning with my coffee this morning so lovely

[@ingridblohm-hyde805]

It never ceases to amaze me how magnificent your garden is. :-)

[@LindaValentine-r2s]

Watch you every morning! Love the music being played in this video!!

[@TheresaHoughten-tb7oe]

Laura, wonderful as always. I really enjoyed watching you prune those roses. I know it sounds silly but I like the sound of the clippers. The birds tweeting the airplane going over it just was so relaxing.

[@kaylakooker8744]

Not sure why I never thought to lay my pop up bag on the side and rake debris in 🤦🏻‍♀️ so much easier lol glad I saw that!

[@annehedlund7333]

The Laura trick!

[@PseriesX]

Oh my god! I did not know that gardening requires a lot of time and effort, this is a great hobby and I find it pretty relaxing. It is just that my house does not have a large garden as yours.

[@deemckinney1486]

Thank you for keeping it in real time. Healing up from a cold loved hearing the water in the birds. I learned a lot from this video, very inspired what I’m gonna do in my garden, which by the way I started because I was watching your videos in the very, very beginning.

[@alantrott6581]

These maintenance videos are greatly appreciated. Many of us probably have the same species needing the same thing right now and the reassurance of what to do sure helps.

[@marlynmiller8639]

The natural sounds are so relaxing

[@debtheweb7175]

I love to watch clean ups!

[@tydanum]

So do I, I love tidy groomed gardens, heaven 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@lifeisbutifull322]

I'd love to be a butterfly in your garden. Sending love from Canada

[@phyllisholt4847]

You are so hard worming and it's delightful to see your love of gardening.

[@sc00badive]

Impressive Laura!!! You really got a lot done, and it was so satisfying to see it happen. I really love starting my day with a visit to your garden. Have a great weekend!

[@charlottea.cavatica8423]

I so agree with your reticence about those battery pruners. Just looking at them scares me!

[@kerryburnham1378]

Love hearing the birds and water fountain in the background.

[@raeperonneau4941]

This was so lovely and peaceful. I really enjoy watching in real time, seeing how you do things, and listening to your thought process. Thank you!

[@kimberlypersons8176]

Hey Laura! I bought a Sugar Shack Button Bush when you introduced it to all us viewers. Mine is in awful clay soil and over 6’ tall X 6’ wide. Truly a beautiful plant with amazing growth !🎉Thanks for the recommendation!

[@saundrawilliams1601]

Watching this at 3 am could hear your chickens in the background & thought at first it was our chickens. Nearly jumped out of bed to go check on them, then realized I think those were yours. At least I hope they were yours, I won’t know until the sun comes up in a few hours. 🐓🐓🐓

[@ericaanderson5334]

I am waiting for when those elederberries get moved. They are just so big and grow so fast and shroud everything around them.

[@debmarlowe1204]

Love the birdsong and waterfall sounds. Nature music!

[@shellyroman1321]

Do you ever accidentally dump your tools into the debris pile when you unload your gator? It seems highly likely that would be something I would do. Everything is looking so good on the West Side!♡ We have had so much rain in MN and so many are experiencing flooding. 😢 We are expected to turn the corner next week and get some much needed sunshine. Have a great weekend!♡

[@lisag6796]

She said has lost Felco pruners that way.

[@annehedlund7333]

I have half a pair of scissors that I lost that way! Keep hoping I will find it!

[@msv3402]

It was so nice to hear the fountain in the background as you were pruning the roses, and I can’t believe how full the westside garden is; it’s just beautiful 😍

[@susanvonrauensteinbreuls6058]

Must say a lot of my plant are much taller than they usually get. Your garden is soooo beautiful so nice to see how it coming together, love it.

[@monettemichaels8420]

Thank you for the tip on cutting back the salvia. I was doing the selective pruning and with my old wrists and hands it took forever. Cutting them back the way you did it makes more sense and I can do it more quickly.

[@pambrewer9082]

You should have a compost pile. You have a tractor to turn it,lots of clipping. Content. Most of us don't buy bulk compost

[@TheLiveFoodChef]

Crazy heat wave here in Quebec, Canada however you still inspire me to do a little weeding and then into pool!!

[@stephaniestith8750]

Everything is gorgeous! Aaron was probably in the cheering section when the rose arbor got cut back. 😅

[@brendamartin2611]

I have always had more shade but I lost a tree creating a full sun bed. I am trying to establish a cottage garden with perennials and small shrubs. Watching you has been so inspiring and helpful. Love spending part of my day with you.

[@ireneclark3993]

That white achillea is a stunner..

[@johnchavez8677]

That's my favorite garden.

[@donnaolson922]

I looooove cleanup and trimming videos, especially trees!

[@judyklein3221]

Laura, your enthusiasm for your garden is so contagious. Love, love, love your videos! Have a great day!🤗💕🤗💕

[@barbprisinzano1939]

Nothing like a new fresh cutting , beautiful

[@chrisrfan]

My mercy! That wind looked intense! I’m sure after working in that for a while, you must feel beaten up! The clean up looks lovely! Thanks for showing us the correct way to cut back things so we get more blooms. My garden is nowhere near the scale of yours, but I like to think I’m in Laura Land when I’m out there! ❤

[@jen0street]

The sweet corner by the elderberries and climbing roses gives such Secret Garden vibes, it’s absolutely enchanting! ✨

[@Twistnsine]

Aaaahhh the sounds of summer are just the best 😍❤️🐤⛲️🌹

[@monicamcleod6999]

Hi Laura I have mentioned this before to you, but I really think you need to make the West side garden beside the veggie garden, more formal. Such that it shows up the 4 large gorgeous pots more and the row of cedars/arborvitae. I think you should take out most of the plants in the West side garden, especially those Elderberry and move them to the South side garden and sleekify the West side garden. The West side garden is currently too jumbled and chaotic looking. I hope you take my advice.

[@dc0145a]

Loved hearing sounds of nature - no music just natural sounds.

[@KB-ro8ml]

Seeing the elderberry bushes canopies being lifted and cleaning the garden I just love. Especially seeing all the trees and such blowing in the breeze 😍 looks like it felt amazing. Thank you Laura for sharing with us.

[@mistygeller3193]

I agree with the previous comment, I look so forward to watching your channel everyday, it just leaves me feeling happy and it really is like hanging out with a dear friend! Thank you for all of the work that you put into sharing your gardens and pieces of your life with us 😊

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Good Morning! ✂️ Thank you for the reminder! I need to do my clean-up! But clean-up will have to wait between rain showers, in the past 24 hours 3 - 4 inches of rain have fallen! Thank you for sharing your gardens & family! I learn something new with every video!😃🥴🌧💧☔️🌿
