Lucky for Aaron, there are multiple Laura’s at once!

[@Li-Anderson]

🤭😂

[@sallycapotosto6927]

So true - lol! I especially liked the four Laura's in front of the barn.

[@tulle7358]

😂😆👍 yes, he is a very lucky guy

[@Peoniesandpinks]

Maybe she can be in OR and RI at the same time 🤣

I was just going to add this comment 😊

[@SteveL2012]

Best quote ever 😄

[@dashishashadap3477]

I have tried to download the movie of Anne of green gables.. Will you please tell me if you have any idea

[@katihime8750]

Ahhh yes. Love! Her niece was my school librarian! ❤️

[@Dayzee]

I just read this book for my Children’s lit class!!!

[@lisaburnette6850]

Ok, now Aaron is just showing off with the four Laura’s... 😂

[@russyp]

Finding garden answer has inspired me to move south from Alaska to a climate with a longer growing season. Bye zone 4, here I come zone 6/7!

[@cherylhee9762]

Come on out to 7b you'll be able to grow crape myrtles!! Summers may do you in though!

[@conniesanrn2730]

Zone 6a! I love having all 4 seasons 🥰 and fall is one of my favs

[@QueenBee-xd1xk]

I'm in the Pacific Northwest in Oregon which is the zone 8B it's got the best of all worlds, it never gets too hot never gets too cold. I'd say the low to high annual temperatures run from 30° up to the high 80s with of course occasional periods below or above that. The only thing we deal with is lots of rain but the further south in Oregon you go the less rain there is. I find we can grow pretty much anything here.

[@lisaburnette6850]

lol Alaska sounds like a beautiful place to visit.... but 🥶

[@debraphillips12]

@@QueenBee-xd1xk I’m in South Carolina and we where we are it is zone 8 b but very hot and humid.. but otherwise nice. We always say we have hot weather and Hotter weather! Lol.. it’s like breathing in jello around August. Looking forward to Oct. and hopefully we won’t be wearing shorts at Christmas! Lol

[@ozarkview928]

I really really liked your idea of extending the wedge garden to the back garden and eliminating the straight driveway! I think it would calm the area .

[@rosebrady9125]

Ditto! I think Laura’s plan will be beautiful . Can’t wait to see that project.

[@edit-racha]

Me too

[@sherilynkoss4546]

I love it too!

[@67horses]

Good morning all have a blessed day

[@maryannevarre1542]

Happy TGIF everyone!! Have my coffee ready! ☕️☕️ Everyone have a great gardening weekend!!❤️❤️

[@cherylhee9762]

You too!!

[@Patricia-lg8vg]

You as well!

[@leslieollerhead1114]

👍🏻☕️☕️ty you too!!

[@shanachrisman6638]

THANK YOU for mentioning that this took 3 weeks in total. When I first saw the garden with the urns along the west side (is that right?), I was like WHATTTT happened to the super cute candy corn planting with the pumpkins????? Phew - I thought I was having a mental moment. Beautiful job!

[@MicheleLHarvey]

For some reason this video more than any other, reveals the scope of effort your overall garden plan reveals. I think it must be the sheer amount of the planting of boxwoods & their care (trimming, watering, feeding, pest control & replacement,) which outlines the breathtaking amount of work required for your property. And the boxwoods are just ONE plant species! Even with an army of caretakers it looks like more than can be managed.

[@Sun-Soul]

Well said! I DREAM 🤩 of gardens such as theirs, but videos like this remind me what a massive amount of work it requires to keep them as lovely as they do! It takes a LOT of time, not to mention a LOT of budget! For now, I'll remain content to dream!😍

[@edit-racha]

Totally agree!!

[@dachsymom5232]

Good Morning! Laura I love the idea of removing that gravel drive. It confuses me watching so I could imagine how visitors would be confused as well. Plus you score more planting space! Great place for a new fountain! 😃❤🍁🌻

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Happy Friday everyone 👩‍🌾👍 Greetings from, Still Hot 'n' Humid, Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 Trimming your boxwood is really a huge chore. Happy Gardening weekend Fellow Soil Warriors 👩‍🌾👍🌿💚🌿

[@cherylhee9762]

Back at ya!!

[@angelaengler2387]

I'm so glad I don't have any boxwoods to trim lol! That isn't one of my favorite garden chores for sure! I love how they look in other people's gardens though 😍

[@cherylhee9762]

I'm with you!

[@nanaof07]

That's a lot of boxwoods!

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

I have been really enjoying the videography. Love the multiple Laura's, the overhead shots, the softness when she cuts flowers, etc. And... here comes Russell. That fur baby Adores you Laura! Love it. Thanks so much. Another great video. xo

[@NinjaOrchids]

And... it will be more effective for the Christmas lights 😍😍

[@withwyatt_2181]

Good morning everyone! Have a blessed day!

[@meme5jack]

I never quite understood why everybody was praising the editing, until this video! A M A Z I N G ! ! !

[@annriggle1945]

Great work! I so miss our ash tree! Ash trees in New York are dying by the thousands due to the ash bore. Thanks for sharing yours! I miss that fall color!

[@kathylundy5911]

Same here in Penna. We are having a 40 year old Ash removed end of this month.

[@cherylhee9762]

There's a new problem down here in MD with large red oaks. What the what?

[@harvest_dragon6115]

Here in Vermont same thing, we have one ash tree left on our farm and it will be coming down next year. We also had a willow that was planted in front of our house by my husband's great grand mother in the 1930's a large branch came down on our roof (miracle no damage, it's still laying across roof still attached to tree with bees nest in it) a week ago in wind storm

[@yvencia1150]

Good morning everyone Happy Garden Friday 😀 😊🥰 🍂🍂🍁🍁🌾🌾🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️☕🌅

[@Lifeofwiley]

I want angel music to play every time the video pans to the Hartley

[@sterlingskyes]

LOL.. "Also can we take a minute to ... " its like at the movies where you have wait for all the credits to scroll through and you get a bonus clip.. Love it :)

[@joanwalters4741]

The Ash Tree is looking gorgeous. I had noticed the Red Point Maples we’re edging to colour up. My favorite time of God!’s Year ! Grace overflowing!,,

[@desigyal04]

Been watching garden answer for 2-3 years and this had to be one of the most satisfying videos to watch! Well done 👏🏽😄

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

I remember before y’all removed the privet hedges…looks so much prettier now with all boxwoods. ✨

[@sewsheila5969]

I love how Russel and Cheddar follow you around…….so cute 💕

[@caitleesi716]

Happy Friday everyone!!! Have a beautiful day

[@juliehudson7032]

I like the way you were so clever in starting this project at one time and then saving it for quite some time later to splice it all together. At first I thought it was an older video before you had done the pumpkins in that area but then they showed up later in the footage. Very clever. I love starting my day with these videos! I have told so many friends and Neighbors about your channel and they all have checked on it and love it! You make so many people happy. Have a beautiful beautiful October day.

[@beckyc104]

I'm impressed by all the hedging in Versailles as I remember when you planted them. They've really done well. And yes, the Ash is to die for. 💕

[@alexishodgson7624]

I feel the exact same way!

[@raeperonneau4941]

I was thinking the same thing. Lol

[@Hello-Emily]

My arms hurt just watching this. I was glad to hear that you did it over the course of 3 weeks and not all in one day!

[@juliedorey5254]

That gives me anxiety thinking about trimming so many boxwoods but that tree...so glorious and just peaceful looking 🍁🍂

[@ThePlantasticNerd]

Today is a typical "golden October" day. It's a phrase we use in Germany and it basically describes a sunny, somewhat warm but also crisp autumn day! On such days I love to do some garden work and seeing you getting some of these chores done fills me with motivation! Thank you Laura, your positivity and energy keeps me going! Have an amazing weekend everyone! 🙋🏻‍♂☀

[@loiswood3363]

It’s somehow soothing to watch so much work being accomplished in a seemingly short time. 4 Lauras is fun and awesome videography. Aaron, you are very talented at filming and editing! Yes, the ash tree is glorious, thanks for including that! Yay for fall colours! 🍂🍁🌻

[@lorindachristine3291]

Not only do you tackle shaped topiaries with a 22" straight blade like a boss, but round ones above your head!? 🙌

[@annehedlund7333]

I have trouble with taller bushes and my arms ache for days.

[@sundevil0271]

Imagine how much we'd get done if we all had four Lauras trimming hedges in front of our barn! 😃

[@jerriecook6908]

I would love to have 4 Laura's helping me with my flowerbeds! 💁‍♀️🙋‍♀️🧏‍♀️🙅‍♀️

[@hannacornelialedder3734]

Hi Laura :-) Just wanted to say, I`m a professional(Constructional gardener, both plant and stonework) and I never use string. The less things I need to do a job, the better :-) That is what I think at least :-) You learn more when you don`t use so many gadgets(though sometimes a gadget is the way to go! ). I love your videos! I am a perfectionist, and I still watch your videos, after many years. I mean that as a compliment. Your chanel is a rare treasure:-).

[@PJEC]

God is amazing that tree is evidence of that.

[@loriboyce942]

There nothing like a neat and tidy hedge in the snow. The clean edges will look great in the winter.

[@emmagush8023]

That is why you stay you stay so slim and trim with all the time in the garden.

[@sarahshook5698]

What’s better than one Laura working in her landscape? Four Laura’s 🤣 love you you do that!

[@Emma-Sharon]

I love this! I didn’t realize how much I’d love a video on boxwood trimming but this was awesome. Great editing too. Russell and Cheddar spotting at 7:30! 💜 💜 💜

[@annesweeney5552]

Ohhh the click and point at the heartly ! I nearly lost it .Laura your so funny

[@anniemedlin1722]

Oh they look soooooo much better! 😍💕

[@karenkrebs4535]

Laura,Laura! I have watched you for the last few years since I have retired and you have given me so much inspiration. My flower beds in my yard have never looked so good…. And yes I love everything neat and tidy…. So when you trimmed the box woods and said you may not clean up the mess and maybe mulch overtop of it…. I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣… Laura always cleans up her mess!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just needed to tease you alittle… they looked great! Trying to keep up with you makes me tired. Keep up the awesome work…. Love watching you everyday!

[@kebergify]

"I tried string once, but I have no patience for that sort of thing". Love how honest and real you are, Laura. I could not imagine doing that in my own garden either as I am much more cottage garden than precise & structured! LOL

[@sarahlangham635]

This is so satisfying!!!

[@AdamChenevert]

Oh man, the circle in Versailles has really put on some growth. I remember when those tiny plants were buried under all that snow

[@edit-racha]

Me too lol

[@NinjaOrchids]

Oh my goodness... the versaille hedge is just Big Boy now! I remember when you planted that!! Awesome 👌

[@teresecox4109]

Wow, is it just me, or is the hedging so satisfying to watch!?! Looks great (and like a ton of work) 🌺

[@barbarajohnson1348]

Boy I can not believe the changes for these years. You are so talented.

[@onlyme639]

All looking nice and tidy ❤️

[@melonieroe7310]

Laura, it came to me why I look forward to all of your videos. Your are a fantastic top of the line teacher. You explain and describe everything you do so well. i learn from every video whether it is applicable to my garden or not. please keep up the great work. you are appreciated

[@jkrudop5700]

Love how lush and carpet looking your grass looks!! The nod to the Hartley and the sigh and "October" at the beautiful ash tree end; completed this entire video! You continue to inspire and make us all better gardeners! Thanks!

[@gizziejubilee]

Finally your garden is becoming yours and not the previous owners its looking amazing😊

[@the_garden_on_700N]

I really liked this video! It was a fun walking the property with you when you perused your garden talking about trimming the boxwoods. I have longed to see the Galloway urn, the Venetian garden, the guara next the fountain, the petunias in pots along the fence and so much more! I love walking my own garden daily & enjoyed the walk in your garden even though it was about boxwood trimming. "Glorious" video! Thank you.

[@thereluctantgardener5634]

Oh wow!! I KNEW you had a lot of boxwoods, but didn't realize how MANY boxwoods you had. They just make all your gardens look so neat.

[@amoijoy573]

Laura, Please show us the lavender flowers that was behind you. So beautiful.

[@BottlegardenUK]

Congratulations on getting through this, I remember you saying this was an ongoing project. Love the idea of changing the drive, I'd have gone straight on too. Another project to add to the list!

[@jennifermiddendorf1830]

Nothing like a good hair cut! Loved your slight nod to the Hartley... I can't wait to see all the amazing projects you will do in there. 😍

[@jodie2773]

Excellent for incorporating the back triangle garden space into the main back garden! it would be a gorgeous lead into the formal garden! huge amount of work Laura with all the trimming - you're so inspiring 🥰💛🇦🇺💕

[@ggoldoe2315]

Alright Laura!! I knew you had the energy and tenacity to do the work of 3 Laura's. I love this video skills of these work days. You really are the Superwoman Gardener. Even though it took over a period of time. Love all your content

[@cynthiafisher9907]

What in the world?!!! I would need a crew of 10 people to do all this for me. You’re an incredible woman.

[@Ultima771]

When you were describing what you were going to do and showing each section I thought wow there are miles and miles of hedges! I never realized just how many you had, they add so much to your property! The ash is so beautiful what eye candy you have to feast your eyes on each day! Loved the video as usual, when I wake up in the morning I can't wait to see what Laura is up to today! And I usually notice the thumbs down and shake my head and think what is wrong with those people they must have such miserable attitudes to not find the beauty!

[@mkfusato]

It looks amazing, but what a big job! I can see why you’re hesitant about adding this kind of maintenance to the south garden.

[@kaylac3367]

You did a fantastic job trimming all those boxwoods and made it look easy!!! I like all of your ideas for future projects, such as, incorporating the corner driveway garden into the lawn. Also taking out the lilac and extending the boxwoods. They sound really nice. Yes, the Ash tree looks beautiful!!!

[@katihime8750]

I'm so glad you ask "how's it goin'?" at the beginning of each video! Seriously! Because today is not good. So this morning, while watching my daily dose of Garden Answer and getting ready for work, I could say out loud, "Not good, Laura! Not good!" and you replied, "We're trimming boxwoods!" ... And just like that, it made me feel a little better. So thank you. ❤️

[@johngarcia5084]

I remembered the egg you have there in Versailles that you showed in a video few years back. Is it still there? Good morning y'all have a great day!😊❤️

[@neeshirey]

Congratulations on your new baby! When my kids were little, I worked in the garden all the time. They had a little play area and would often play while I worked nearby. They're both in their 30s now, and they LOVE gardening - especially my son. I hadn't had any exposure to gardening when I was a child, so I was really surprised when I realized how much it affected my own children. It's a great gift you can give to them! Judging from this video, your child/children will be exposed to plenty of gardening by their mom!

[@Daffodils2Daisies]

I’m in Wisconsin and I just listened to a webinar and they talked about boxwood blight in our area and the instructor suggested no more boxwood hedges 😭😭😭 time to move! Lol

[@sydneykasmar]

Laura, the speeded up footage really had you looking like a Jet Eye Warrior working her light sabre when you were trimming the cones. I wonder if a light sabre would disolve the cut debris. Now that would be a cool tool.

[@debster055]

A whirlwind Laura!!! Even 4 of you in one shot....you sure get around!!!!!!!! Nice job! Love the look of your October property!

[@rebekahhoover2109]

I feel that when you finished them all off, your nightly stroll on the gator must have felt so glorious!! This is so satisfying!

[@phillipsgirl3278]

Oh my word as Laura would say. I would be so afraid of ruining my hedges, but they look so nice. That was satisfying to watch.

[@themainer1267]

Hooray!!! Loved hearing your new plan to incorporate the triangle into the back yard. Really would make the gravel area make way more sense. I thought the boxwoods looked alright until I saw them trimmed--what a nice difference. It's been mentioned several times that the lilac is old with more and more dead wood. Time for it to go. Beautiful progress on these areas.

[@seanaames6855]

Keeping the old wood trimmed out makes lilacs healthier. Old wood attracts borers.

[@erinjames4024]

Laura is an amazing Gardener! Freehand trimming incredible!

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Four Laura's trimming at once! Wish I had that! LOL Bravo on a job well done.

[@nataliajuarez5708]

So much work ! I love watching your videos, better that having a planner : “ Laura is trimming her boxwood, I need to do it too”

[@patricecopeland4130]

Very beautiful and soothing to look at i just love it

[@taylorswf23]

Fold in the triangle garden!! I fully believe that if something is confusing / hard to describe / not working for you, change it! Make things make sense. Can’t wait to see it happen 🤣

[@KattieKatastrophe]

Who the heck is giving you thumbs down? I will fight them. We must protect Laura and Aaron. They are too pure 🥺 Thank you guys for all the hard work you guys put in. Yall are incredibly inspiring and i love seeing the growth in your gardens and all of the evolving plans but also the patience behind them is awe inspiring. I loooovvveeee it.

[@sunflowerflight]

I wish I had the multiple Laura’s help me whip my garden into shape. I feel like we could get a lot accomplished.

[@estherlista]

Made me realized I don't like the maintenance of trimming the boxwood. Kudos for Laura for that patience! Anna's Magic Ball is the alternative for me! 😍

[@Plug8587]

Im sitting here, sunday morning, drinking my coffee and this is the most satisfying video i have ever seen

[@sabrinaqualley5743]

I was so relieved when you said it took 3 weeks to complete the boxwood hedging! I wasn't paying attention to decorations or anything that would indicate a passage of time and just kept thinking that was an unbelievable amount of work to accomplish. It still was an amazing amount of work to accomplish, but over three weeks seems much more reasonable. They look fantastic.

[@mariasoderberg4931]

Love all the edits with more than one Laura in it! Also, what a great time in the year for your garden, it looks ah-mazing with everything lush and happy and with fall colors!

[@michellescountrygardens]

Oh my that is a lot of maintenance. I have large gardens on acreage but try to plant shrubs that are low maintenance as in no trimming. It sure is pretty though.

[@TheThriftedPlanter]

I love the time lapse!! What a difference it makes. I didn't trim mine this year but I'm going to wait until spring like you suggested.

[@leesaaugustine1444]

What a difference a trim does for those Boxwoods! They look great & they are ready for winter! I am just like you when I trim, I do not use a string - I just follow my eye judgment! I know I have said before but I love the way the videos are edited together! Love the Fall color that is starting in your trees! 🙂🌳✂️🌳✂️🍂🍁

[@dianebateman6808]

Boxwoods look great, what a difference the trimming makes.

[@greenrockgarden2851]

I craved ten glasses of ice tea watching you. That was a lot of work! Love your idea at the triangle garden. Everything is looking so good.

[@jerindaarriola296]

Good thing all the extra Lauras showed up to help you today!

[@RuubinSelena]

I think that is a wonderful idea to remove the gravel from the back of the triangle garden space! It would certainly give you a good start at making that part of your property feel like your own design and feel!!

[@menevermind2612]

Watching videos like this just make my heart sing. There is something so satisfying about watching her shape the cones. The regular hedges in circles are nice cones that’s what make my soul happy.

[@janetsmith6716]

I stopped watching the video to type in a question about what kind of tree was behind you that had such gorgeous colored fall leaves. I think you answered my question at the very end of the video with mentioning the beautiful colors on the ASH tree :)lol. I, too, have learned so much from watching your videos. When my neighbors comment on my many pots of beautiful Bubblegum Supertunias, I tell them "watch Laura on the KZbin channel Garden Answer. She will teach you everything you need to know about gardening". You and Aaron are so much appreciated. A big thank you from this south central Kansas Zone 6 gardener!

[@hillarypatz7616]

Wow!! Looks awesome! I'm so glad you told us it took you three weeks. Knowing you, it would be easy to convince me that you did it in an afternoon!! I definitely vote for the change in the driveway. Keep the curve and ditch the 90 degree! More space for plants!! :-) beautiful. You are so talented!

[@imahick5723]

Very relaxing watching you do this ( sound off). It's amazing how a simple thing like pruning makes the garden look great. You are an ambitious gal

[@randomharts]

Oh my, what a chore!!! But it looks amazing now🥰

[@Trontree]

I used my hedge trimmer this summer for 1/8th of what you just did here, and I could hardly use my arms for days afterwards. You must be so fit Laura! Gardening is pretty good exercise.

[@annehedlund7333]

I ended up with a muscle spasm in my back after trimming over my head, that is not very high, I am 5'.

[@sandranason9314]

Wow what an amazing difference on the boxwood hedges. Kudos to the camera & editing people. Awesome job !!!!!

[@nonnawieniewitz9090]

Oh my word! Whew! Glad to hear that 3 week comment! With only a few subtle changes in attire, you made us wonder! Still… you are amazing and everything looks fabulous! And the editing was awesome! Loved the many Lauras! ❤️

[@sweetmommyof5763]

The rock music while trimming the hedges almost looked like Laura holding a guitar lol Love it! 😜🤘🎸
