The Story of Garden Answer! 🥰💚🌿 // Garden Answer

[@heidiawesome5312]

Loved hearing your story today. I’ve been with you guys since 2017. My husband of 28 years had died in December 2016. He and I both were avid gardeners and even worked in the industry for years. For an entire year I couldn’t garden. Grief would just overtake me and I just couldn’t do it because everywhere I looked I saw him. Of course, my garden became overridden with weeds and vines and things died from lack of care and water. Then in 2017 I accidentally found you on KZbin. I began watching sweet little Laura in her garden. The next spring of 2018 you gave me what I needed to get my butt out in that garden and start cleaning it up. You gave me my Joy back. The joy of gardening. The healing power of gardening. I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe that God has his hand on everything. He knew what I needed and He gave it to me through you. Thank you.

My heart goes out to you. Same thing happened to me but 2018. In 2022, I started restoring my garden again. Hurricanes destroys.. But I overcome and continue to clean it out and replant. I am determined to make dreams come true. I learn from the ants in the garden. They build and rebuild. They don't give up. 2023 & 2024 I worked hard to restore. Watching this channel gave me strength to tackle all the obstacles in the garden. This video is just perfect... A blessing! Love yall❤

[@Judsey52]

I bet your garden is beautiful and full of love!

[@debtheweb7175]

The allure to your channel (for me) is the fact that your content is not contrived but just real. We can all relate to your failures because we all have them. You’re not trying to be perfect or showy. Your successes are satisfying to all of us if I can speak for others. I’ve learned so much from you, and it has helped me improve my garden.

Let me make myself perfectly clear - there is absolutely nothing you do that is boring! Every single video is interesting and entertaining. I started watching for the gardening content (and still do), but now I am here for anything you do. Never underestimate the importance of YOU. And by you, I mean both of you, the children, your family, and your employees.

This was the best video! Brilliant idea to tell the Garden Answer story. I love that you never mention subscribing or "liking", that you do not bring in politics, religion, opinions on cultural issues. You garden and teach us to garden. This channel is an escape, when my husband died in a sudden accident 3 years ago I could watch you garden and be comforted. Thank you!

[@sherryhumphries1801]

Thank you for letting your viewers into your daily life, I watch every day and feel like you are a very special part of my daily life, it’s like having a good friendship, may you always be happy and rewarded!

[@mariannelooney6998]

I used to be fixated on HGTV years ago when they had all the garden shows on each week. When they slowly eliminated the garden shows and replaced with home renovations, in my opinion, it ruined that channel. Thank goodness for KZbin that provide us so many great channels to choose from. Garden Answer is one of my favorites, that I love so much.

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

Same here!

[@lisalockett8970]

Ditto! It’s been so long since HGTV got out of gardening, I kind of forgot about my introduction to gardening content. It’s been a real joy to follow along this GA journey all these years!! Thankful for you guys!!💚💚

[@nancymaier4289]

Agree about HGTV. Their loss!

[@Panhandle_plant_dude]

Someone who agrees that it’s HTV now. I loved all the gardening shows growing up!

[@LovelyIslandVacation-ch6wo]

Now a days all of the home Reno shows are just house flipping shows who paint everything beige and boring too.. so they are not even doing renovation well

[@dianegoldberg1003]

Oh BOY…I was so happy you didn’t speak about COVID. I was working in the ICU and entering single file every day into the hospital having a laser shot at my forehead. Bagging patients like crazy. I would come home feeling like the world had stopped like an apocalypse had hit. I would watch your channel. Life was blooming and the sun was shining, plants were growing. You became my anchor back into the normal world filled with hope!! ❤ Not sure what I would have done without your videos. Plus your videos somehow brought other creators that popped up because I watched you. Like Brenda Grant, Arms family homestead etc. and the single thread in their videos was faith! So I really felt Gods presence walk into my life. Plus on the first day at work Father Steve that March 2020 gave me communion and he has continued that since. That first day I prayed all the way to work for God to walk with me and there was father Steve waiting for me. Then your videos etc.. it all was truly a blessing! Keeping me connected to a world where life flourished again.❤

[@staceyallard2692]

I’m an ICU nurse as well and COVID scarred me for life. PTSD… and GA was my first go to the second I got in my car. I work night shift and so there was this beautiful video & escape rt there to help me drive home, go to bed and get up and do it all over again.

[@lisacollins5466]

My comment is not about gardening and instead is about your comments about having Benjamin and not feeling that rush the minute he was born. I felt the same way but never expressed it because women are made to feel they are supposed to be everything to everybody.I also had a catnapper like Benjamin. My daughter would take 20 to 30 minute catnaps. Having a child is a wonderful, amazing thing, but it's also the most exhausting thing we ever do in our lives. Thank you for speaking up about it and making women realize they need to stop being so hard on themselves. Your garden is absolutely beautiful and you have helped me get through a hard time in my life recently.Thank you.

[@donnaerickson3136]

As a retired 75 yr old, as much as I love to vicariously garden with you, I have to say my favorite episodes are when you go antique shopping with your mom❣️ I didn’t find your channel until I retired during Covid (after working for 40 yrs with child abuse victims) and your channel allows me to remember there’s beauty and goodness in the world. Thank you both for that gift❤️

[@janiceingle550]

My favorite episodes also!

[@MsCharlie2007]

Laura, THANK YOU for your openness about your early parenting days and struggling with that "immediate bond". I don't have children, but a friend "confessed" a similar experience to me. She felt so guilty, but I imagine it's an extremely common experience. While you never *owe* the public personal information, I hope your sharing helps other women feel less alone.

[@sharondailey6552]

Yes! Laura, you put into words how I felt working a full time job when my son was born. He is 12 now and always enjoys knowing what Benjamin is doing in your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@beth5765]

What an amazing video at just the perfect time for me. You talk about how doors closed and doors open - I would call this God’s providential timing. My husband passed away early Sunday morning and I’ve been looking back at all our memories and noting God’s work in every aspect of our life. I’m the kind of person that has learned to notice those things in the moment - because over the years God has blessed us tremendously as He led us thru several huge medical issues with family. You were the only KZbin subscription that I’ve been able to watch over this last difficult week. You and Aaron are such a blessing to all of us. Not only is your content so motivating, but you model what it is to be a good partnership and parents even when your personalities are different. You talk through how you each compromise and support each other and are so authentic. So many do not come from home lives where they see that modeled - and you give that as well. I believe you have been blessed because you are shining a light into the world which makes us all just a little better.

You are so gracious to share this personal side of your lives. Your families are a joy to watch. Everyone talks about "the American Dream" but yet when people achieve it, it's held against them: "privileged" - when in reality it is strong work ethic, working long hours and multiple jobs and a bit of "luck".

Don’t change a thing! Your authenticity is why I am here and recommend your channel regularly to others. You truly are being yourselves and it’s refreshing and educational. Congrats on your continued success and wishing you many many more years.

[@janfarrar1315]

Laura & Aaron would you ever be open to doing a garden tour of just hardscapes? No flower or plant names, but just your lovely pathways, arbors, buildings, pathways, pots, statues, fences etc. ? It’d be so charming to see an overview of the “bones” of your property. Maybe the trees also. Thank you for the bright spot you add to our days❤

[@suelyons531]

Thank you so much for not going down the rabbit hole of religion, politics and such. Your channel is perfect in every way.

[@WaterisJoy]

Agreed! This truly is an escape. I watch another family who are hardworking and sweet, but slowly have been introducing religion and inferences of their politics and it is not the same now.

[@whitneygelrod9030]

Pausing here at 37.07 (I don't know how to make it so it links to the correct part of the video) to say, first of all, thank you for talking so openly about your early miscarriage (I am so sorry) and post-partum experience with Benjamin!! and second, I remember very distinctly when he was first born being amazed that you were getting back to creating content so quickly, and thinking how tough it must have been to have to make that choice when you may have wanted to spend the first 3 months simply bonding with him. I know the business doesn't/didn't run without you creating content, but I was and remain amazed by your ability to manage through that period. And regarding creating "boring" or repetitive content in the winter: I am pretty sure I speak for most of your audience, we are here for the window you allow us into your day, even if it's boring. To get to spend time "with" you outside or in the greenhouse, at the beginning or middle of a busy workday in corporate America, is a treat, no matter what you're up to. For those of us gardeners who can't spend time on their favorite thing each day, it's a taste of what we love, and we'll be here for it, even if you start seeds for 20 days in a row this winter!

[@possumfriend2335]

I'm glad you mentioned the "must be nice" attitude some commenters have that assume the life you two have built must have been handed to you. That resentful, entitled attitude some people have is the obstacle they have placed for themselves. You graciously outlined that getting married, getting a job, working hard, not taking on debt (after learning your lesson with the vehicles), and setting your priorties is how youachieve success. Great job! I've been following along since before Benjamin and still love your channel!

[@doreen7554]

There is a saying that I learned from Jenny at gardening with creekside because people have said to them “it must be nice” and that is “comparison is the thief of joy” truer words have not been spoken! It has really stuck with me!

Laura & Aaron, congratulations on your 10-year anniversary! What an incredible milestone, and your success is so well-deserved. Delving into this world myself four years ago, I’ve come to truly appreciate how much hard work goes into it-especially while balancing a full-time job and creating content. I began gardening while healing from postpartum. Gardening is so therapeutic, and as you said, you don't know what it is but the first time your hands touch that soil and you put a plant in ground, you are just hooked. Thank you so much for featuring my garden in your viewers' gardens series a couple of years back. It was such an honor to see my garden on your channel. Wishing you continued success and all the best for the future. Cheers! 🌸

I agree. we moved to rural Tennessee from urban LOS angeles 2 years back and my 15 year old is an active member of FFA. She is working towards getting a AG degree and becoming a farmer. Best move on our part and to see the next generation of kids wanting to go back to farming and gardening and growing food is very heartning

[@jenniferwolford4646]

Laura, you have been through so much with me! Taking custody of my first grandson at 4 weeks, my mom and mother in law dying 3 months apart and so so much more. Gardening has changed my life! I've been to Andrew's twice. On the way to see my son in Washington. I trust your every word and follow it to a tee! I ended up with a BEAUTIFUL yard and a small backyard blooms flower business. I grew things like crazy! Right along with you! I love you both and I'm ALWAYS here cheering you along and will always defend you on anything!Lol!

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful journey. You have brought so much joy to our lives over the past few years. I was introduced to your channel about four years ago from my beautiful and beloved Auntie Bobbie. She was an avid gardener, who watched your videos daily. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and passed away this last August. Your videos were a source of comfort during her treatments and we would chat every day about the video and plan our next trip to the garden centre. I am so grateful to you for allowing us to get get to know your family, learn and be inspired. Sending you best wishes for many more years of success. Thank you thank you thank you. From Ontario, Canada. xo

[@sallycapotosto6927]

I remember watching your first videos. You might have felt nervous and awkward, but you had a "presence" about you that was obvious even then. Your natural grace just came through. Pretty much from the beginning, it was like you were just talking to a friend standing with you on your patio. I think that's what so special about the way you present - like it's just us girls going through the garden and working on the project. The same with you and Aaron in the recaps. We're all just sitting around, shooting the breeze. Nice.

Within in the first week of watching your videos, I contacted HGTV to tell them they needed to get you guys on their channel!!! So glad that didn’t work out. I know now how perfect it is for you (and all of us) to have your content right where it is. Garden Answer is the only channel I watch consistently - so happy for your journey and so enjoyed hearing about it!!!

[@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq]

Thank you for taking us back to the beginning. Thanks to Proven Winners for believing In you. They chose the best,and I'm sure they know that. Because of your channel I look for only proven winners plants. I copy a lot of what you do but on a much smaller scale. Om another note: It's snowing in the South. Central Georgia is a blanket of snow this morning. Temps will be holding below freezing so it will hang around a few days. Traffic at a stand still. We just don't do snow very well here tho it isn't uncommon to get snow every few years. It's really pretty out. Red birds are out at the feeders. Husband made sure all were full. Red birds gathered on a shrub with no leaves. the snow in background makes for a beautiful photo. Gonna try and capture one of those scenes today.Prayers for all in SoCal.

[@lyndajohnston924]

Like many, I came across your channel during Covid while we were working on renovating a century home. I read some comments and someone said that they watched your videos every morning with a cup of tea and I thought what a pleasant and peaceful way to start one’s day, so I’ve been doing that ever since. Sometimes my husband will say, have you watched Laura yet?, and he’ll watch with me. I’m a master gardener, but had not been gardening for several years as we had downsized and moved to our cottage where we didn’t have a garden for various reasons. After getting into the rhythm of watching your videos, I soon realized how much I missed gardening and now I am full steam ahead with our “new” property, so thank you for the inspiration! I’d also like to say, that the instructional part of your videos have given me more confidence and motivation to do certain things that I might not have bothered taking the time to research, so thank you for that too!

I've got lots of hopes and dreams tied up in our farm and home and the slice of heaven on earth i want to create. Financially it's hard, emotionally it's hard and physically it's hard.

Here’s to another 10 years! I started watching the channel when you were still in the townhouse shortly before the move. I remember watching the 3 urn challenge or something like that. I know part of the appeal is you just garden and make things pretty and don’t fall into the trappings of “like and subscribe .” I never feel like I’m being sold something. Gardening is therapeutic to me, so watching someone garden, even if it’s on a totally different scale than I do and with much greater skill, has a similar effect. Congratulations on all of your successes!

[@MicheleLHarvey]

As a viewer I think it most useful to you, to express what's most interesting about your channel for me. I do come to you for respite & recharging and your channel has been a haven both through Covid & my husband's cancer. That said, my FAVORITE episodes are your garden tours focusing on new varieties & what you consider the best garden plants (Proven Winners has proven to do equally well in my garden), glorious BIG tree planting (jealous), antiquing especially with your mom & with Monica, the Andrews garden center plant hauls & new deliveries, renovations & seasonal/holiday decorating. Thank you for ALL of it! Your channel has been informative, inspirational & a much needed vacation from the cares of life. You definitely have helped my sanity & garden abilities improve these last few years! THANK YOU!

[@anngallegos5515]

Faith, Belief, and HARD WORK can take you a long way! You have created a positive world and learning experience for those of us that had no clue about gardening but had a desire to try. You have helped many other businesses in their desire to succeed. How many times have you used products that you mention, just to have your viewers go crash their websites, because they too wanted what Laura was using? Showing viewers your compassion and desire for your hometown community. Giving to them to help make someone elses day a little brighter. Im sure the children at the organization you have worked with, and the nursing home that you deliver flowers to, appreciate your time and giving nature. Congratulations on all your accomplishment and desire to be succeed! I will be here till the day you say you're done, but I will rewatch the videos just to learn again something new!

[@robynjones8161]

Congratulations to your ten plus years with you Garden Answer. I like indoor plants. I was looking around for organic container gardening. Just to grow a head of lettuce or something, I'll enjoy eating. Instead of purchasing from the local grocery stores. Your videos were easy to understand for a beginner like me. Understanding an annual plant versus a perinnial! How to fertilize and what organic products to use. My first video was of you showing us Benjamin's nursery room and you setting up before you get the professionals to come and paint. Time has gone by so fast. You all have grown so much. Whenever you introduce a new outdoor plant to us, I'm always tempted to just purchase one of them. You and I love plants with unique and beautiful foliage. Thank you for your content. Thank you for being persistent. Most of my elderly family had passed away. Your entire family has filled in the gap. Never knew gardening brought so much joy. Working on outside planting soon. An extension of loving indoor planting. Im alone but never lonely. God bless all of you and the team.

Y’all have put in lots of blood, sweat and tears… and it shows! 👊🏼 Also appreciate your candor on your finances… determination, hard work and discipline… it’s how you make things happen. 🙌🏼

Awe.......thank you for sharing your lives with us!! Your wedding pictures are absolutely precious!!!

[@Mama-sm3gw]

Thank you so much for sharing this private part of your life. It makes it so much easier to understand how it all came about. Love your channel and your family. Much success❤

[@Peoniesandpinks]

Todays video made me feel like we were friends sitting and chatting. Thank you

[@Giulia-kb7oq]

I discovered you during Covid, and the fact that you didn't talk about it was huge for me. I've learned and am still learning so many things from you, Laura, and I feel at peace when I work with plants. Thank you. ❤ Greetings from the Italy

This was so great! I found your channel in 2016 & it’s so funny you mention Casey Neistat, I used to watch him everyday.. and somehow one of your videos came across my YT feed one day & cliche as it is, the rest is history. I just immediately fell in love with your content. & with your happy, inspiring personality. I remember binge watching videos from previous years & It reignited my love of gardening. I hadn’t had my own place to live for a few years and was living with my sister and I just tore into her yard and started planting a flower bed & I loved every minute of it. I watch every single morning & it just brings me so much joy. You were my escape from the politics. The negative news cycles. Covid. Etc. you’ve always been a place for me to relax and just enjoy that moment of the day but more importantly that joy and inspiration you give held on and I do have my own house now (2 years now) & I’ve developed quite a few garden beds out back and I LOVE IT. I don’t know that I would be doing it if it hadn’t have been for you and your infectious energy and joy you give everyday. When you talked about you feeling like life is good and you aren’t so worried about making things bigger and better (or something along those lines) I can 💯 percent tell in your videos this past year. There is a difference in you and you seem so much more at ease and happier than before and you seem more open and willing to share more than before & I just adore you. Your entire family. It seems so weird to feel so close or attached to someone you’ve never met in person but you guys are like very close friends or family in my eyes and it has been just the best experience to see you grow and develop into this amazing YT star and grow and develop your business and your family. Your children are the most precious things & I think you are a fantastic mother & teacher! The world is a much better place because you are in it Laura & Aaron & I’m proud to have been a small part of this & I will forever watch whatever you put out. You bring me happiness & that’s all that matters to me. Thank you for sharing it with us. 😊♥️

🌱Well said!! My thoughts, as well!!🌱

[@kierstin1989]

What a wonderful surprise this evening!!

[@JennieVedros]

I once owned a service business with a sister-in-law and every year we reinvested in the business and it was one of the best business decisions we made. You are very wise to reinvest in your business otherwise you will pay taxes and someone else will be using your hard earned dollars! Plus the value of what you own increases tenfold! Keep it up and look forward to seeing the progress of Garden Answer in 2025. God bless you and your entire family which includes your wonderful mom and dad, Monicas and other family members we have met through your videos!

[@katjo812]

Congratulations, on 10 years!! We moved in our house 10 years ago.. and found your channel right away .. You have had such a Huge influence on my knowledge of gardening! THANKS TO YOU AND AARON! As I too found I have a great passion for Gardening!

[@dawnbarnes8729]

Discovered y’all on Facebook back in 2017. Then during COVID I discovered KZbin, being stuck in the house caught up on your earlier videos. My husband and I both retired that year, also. I don’t even do a lot of gardening. We just maintain what we have, which is too much for old folks. I really just love y’all because the beauty you create and your kind hearts. Thank you for opening up your garden to us through this venue. ❤️😊

[@lindahavron3479]

Thank you, Laura and Aaron, for sharing your story…being approached by Proven Winners and Espoma just proves what a wonderful couple you are and how your values come through in all that you do! My husband and I watch your videos every morning and it’s a great way to start our day with you both! Continued success!

[@KimatRevAcres]

Thank you Laura and Aaron for reliving your story I feel blessed at the inspiration you both extended and the growth I have gained over the years to being a better gardener. I am happy to hear you found balance and I look forward to watching you and your team make more chapters. Congratulations GA for 10 years!

[@sheilagilleland4312]

Laura this is the first time I hear your mom in you.🥰🏠 I love stories like this, thank you for sharing your lives with us.

[@vickijensen404]

I couldn’t love and appreciate this video more! My heart is warm and weirdly, I consider you guys part of my family! You are loved and adored.

[@donnaengland335]

My sister introduced me to your videos around 2018, but I didn’t watch consistently until 2020 after a family member had medical issues requiring full time care. Your videos were an escape for me during a very difficult time. I am forever grateful.

[@Bodiy]

I appreciate you for not talking politics or your personal life I get up at 5:30 fix my coffee and wait for you to come on and it makes it a peaceful start to the day you can find drama and politics any time of the day

[@sheiladouglas5258]

Congratulations! I have watched you from the beginning. I am so happy for your success. You have worked hard. I love learning so much from you and enjoy seeing your family through the years. May God continue to bless you in all things. ❤

[@GramcrackerX2]

Wow, what an amazing journey you have been on this past 10 years. Thanks so much for sharing your days with us, and your knowledge. I have learned so much from you and I love your antiquing videos with You Mom and Monica. Plants and antiques my two favorite things. I wish you continued success and hope you continue the videos for a long time to come.

[@JulieMelberg]

That was wonderful! What a journey. I'm glad you took all those chances and had those supports along the way. We are so much richer for it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@maryellenwalz7415]

I am grateful for your channel, for your successes, and mostly, for you and the people you take with you on your journey.

[@hopedeakins2869]

Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your life and how Garden Answer became... I feel outside of the obvious content that is put out the success from your channel is the authentic nature of Laura and Aaron, listening to Laura explain plants feels like listening to my sister.. Daily follower from the beginning.. Congrats on the success and future success..

[@stefmcclure9386]

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video! I canceled my tv provider almost three years ago and started watching KZbin and haven't looked back. I, like others, was a big HGTV fan, and as they got out of the gardening shows, I started to lose interest. I was so excited to find your channel and eventually other ones that I have enjoyed and that have inspired me to finally do more gardening myself. I am so happy for your success and look forward to the future watching you share your beautiful family and gardens with us. Congratulations! ❤

[@MarionBialaszewski]

I never heard of Proven winners till I started watching you guys. I found you on u-tube about a year and a half before Benjamin was born. And I have not miss a day since. Watch you guys every morning with my coffee. ❤ thank you, I have learned so much. I love your family, what a blessing.

[@bethsatterfield9499]

Thanks for sharing your life with us. You were a God send to me during a time I was recovering from a broken ankle and COVID. You have become a member of my “family” and so enjoy my breakfast or lunch with you everyday!

[@Kati-did]

Love hearing all the stories at once! So glad you are here. My favorite channel and the one I watch every time there is a post!

[@egleeim]

I admire the way you all treat one another - with so much positivity, respect, and empowerment. You are an example to me, especially as I grew up in a different culture. Thank you for showing me a different way of living and for inspiring the world of gardening.

[@Sunshinelady]

Congratulations on your amazing journey!!!You two are truly a blessing and such a lovely couple. Thank you both for taking time, being vulnerable and transparent with your story on everything you’ve gone through. SO much has been accomplished and SO many lives have been touched in such a positive way!! I’m so glad you didn’t give up. I love your story!💜

[@cherylt6888]

Thank you Laura and Aaron for sharing your Garden Answer Journey with us. I have seen channels post videos with your channel as a subject and have never watched them. Was so glad to find your channel and watched daily during Covid . So glad you didn’t talk about Covid, your channel created a sense of peace . Watching your channel and seeing you grow is like visiting with great friends.

[@kimberlyrubino2791]

I absolutely love the fact that you bring your families into the channel in an authentic way. They are part of your life and should be part of the channel but you are not making the videos pushing the ideal "family life" according to your religious or political beliefs. You are just being real and your family is being real. I also love that you don't discuss religion or politics to try and sensationalize videos for financial gain. You both have always been true to your values and purpose and very honest with your audience and I truely believe that is why the channel has had such good staying power. I have always gardened but found your channel during covid in 2020, and now I watch every video and have learned so much. Its just so inspiring to see how close you all are because my family is also close and it is very relatable, and you can see you are very thankful for your opportunities and have been true to the channel purpose. Thanks and cheers to another 10 years !

[@AN-tt5jy]

I keep thinking about your comment that you both grew up in stable homes (not financially rich) but stable. Makes such a difference (in my opinion) for a child to have that foundation, giving them the opportunity to be successful in the choices they make along the way and into their adulthood. Love your channel. Thank you for your transparency.

[@heatherderganc5984]

This is my happy place! My head is spinning after all your recent major projects! What fun we’ve had!!! It’ll be a great “chill” year with all you’ll find to do without anything major. Such great ten years and I’m looking forward to another ten. So proud of you! Congratulations!!!

[@LihsaInHouston]

Great work, guys! You kept your priorities front and center and focused on producing solid work. A great example of living the American Dream! You have a legacy to be proud of!

[@robertparker8669]

Thank you for sharing your journey! Y’all have come so far in ten years! Keep it coming.

[@maryturner3534]

I am so happy (not surprised)that you put more value on the relationships than the financial benefits. You live a blessed life because of your relationship with the Lord. Never apologize for that. May He bless you even more.
