I’m wondering if Aaron is planning the Christmas lights for the pond area yet 🎄😂

[@joylewis9593]

That would be so cool

[@KellysVintagePicks]

Oh you know it! 👍😂

[@stevenjwiles]

Good question!

[@amyrichcreek]

I'm sure since they start Christmas lights around Halloween. 👍

[@shanachrisman6638]

Ha! I just jumped into the comments to say the same thing. Aaron….do your thing!

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Laura ☕️ I love when you do your garden chores and let us hear the natural sounds. So relaxing, especially now with the waterfall. The sun ☀️ coming up over the pond is a spectacular sight 🤩 Excited to see Pedros work! Have a Blessed Day😊🐈

[@mariacosta6086]

Beautiful water feature and love the sound of the water running while you plant. Beautiful space❤️

[@sharonmitchel1377]

Yes! The water sound was delightful!

[@lucpar23]

Oh that pond!!! The sound of running water is so soothing. Those chairs are perfect. That is where i would be every morning with my coffee

[@debw5203]

me too 😊

[@kp-gbuniqueinterest]

Anyone else dreaming of her garden 20 years from now. I hope Laura is still on youtube in the future. Promise us that what ever happens you put your garden online in 20+ years so we can see the mini forest garden you have created at its peak. You give so much inspiration and happiness to the world.

[@sunny45488]

it would be a good idea for Garden Answer to create it's own server so the 250,000 ( plus ) die hards could pay $5/month to secure the future

[@kp-gbuniqueinterest]

@@sunny45488 right! that's 1.25 million / month. Garden Answer just found their retirement account.

[@RosemaryFoat-xg4wj]

Beautiful Laura and Aaron sitting enjoying - wow that never happens! Chairs are the perfect addition to the perfect pond 💕💕💕

[@cynthiafisher9907]

It never happens on camera, but they relax in the evening, I’m sure.

[@jodybogert7152]

Good Morning! Listening to the waterfall while planting your plants must be heaven! What a beautiful and peaceful area! Always go to you the first thing every morning, makes a happy start to the day! 🌻

[@tmrossi2899]

No doubt 👍

[@sandrareiber4175]

Good morning, Laura. What a beautiful way to start your day! You might want to think about how fast the children are growing before you order expensive furniture 🪑 in kid sizes. They’ll outgrow them in such a short while and in the meantime they have much more interesting places to sit and dream….the edges of the pond, boulders and tree trunks. Much more fun! Love from Nebraska 💕

[@teresab6502]

I had the same thought as you. Also, adding two more chairs may make the area look too cramped.

[@suzettebergeron484]

Seeing you just sit for a minute in your new chair to take it all in made my heart happy-that's what it's all about! Those little moments stolen throughout the day make all our hard work totally worth it! 😊❤

[@imahick5723]

The pond is spectacular! It is a lovely addition to your already fabulous Garden. It's so nice to hear how you are enjoying it, too.

[@ronareid7956]

why doesn't youtube offer a ❤ button! I want one. I guessing you do too.

[@angiemorian4956]

The pond area is stunning, and looks like it is an already established area! So fun!!!

[@latherandlace]

Good Morning from Maryland! The pond looks luscious! And that ground cover spilling over the rocks is going to be beautiful! I ordered the Polywood Adirondack chairs off of Amazon and love them! If I couldn't do Teak, I'd do Polywood! It's nice to see you sit for a minute! Can you show the pond at night? That pond looks like it's been established for years!

[@itsmewende]

Good morning from Maryland, down the shore.

[@latherandlace]

@@itsmewende which part? I'm going to Chincoteague next week. Though that's Virginia!

[@itsmewende]

@@latherandlace If you're familiar with Blackwater Wildlife Refuge, I'm 5 mins from there, 10 from Rt 50 Cambridge.

[@latherandlace]

@@itsmewende oh yes. I have to pass Cambridge to get to my friends house on the Eastern Shore in Virginia!

[@itsmewende]

@@latherandlace I have a small apt on Airbnb, if you're ever looking to get away around here, I'd be happy to give you a discount. My place is Nature's Rest in Church Creek, Md

[@Emma-Sharon]

Laura do you ever save the boxes for the kids to build forts or little buildings? I remember that being so much fun as a kid! ❤❤❤❤

[@sherrywhitaker3369]

I thought the same thing! Brought back memories! I could just imagine how Laura could add her artistic touch! (Might be a winter project-when gardening slows down)

[@carollykins9475]

She has mentioned before that they store the cardboard for future projects. Sometimes for the garden center or church projects.

[@debbiehowell2230]

So funny, I thought the same thing regarding the boxes! One year in my home daycare I had ordered some new toys for playground & I used the boxes to make "box bots" they could slip over their head & holes for their arms, for the 3 boys in my daycare. They absolutely had a blast with them!

[@andreabenson2491]

The Adirondacks add to the natural look, great choice! The entire pond area is beautiful - looking forward to the stone pathways and patio area project too! I don't know how it can be more inviting, yet each addition draws you in even more👍👏😊

[@irenetovar7756]

I shouldn't be jealous, but I am. Such a beautiful pond, vegitation, and Adirondack chairs. I love my Adirondack chairs.

[@thedirtygardener]

The pond looks amazing! Kid-size chairs might be a better fit, but I wouldn’t waste the money. They grow so fast you’ll wish you had the larger size soon enough. Also, if Monica and her hubby come over for cocktails you’ll want the larger chairs. You could always put them in another section to enjoy a different view.

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Good Morning! 🌻The pond is gorgeous! I see a bloom in the pond!! That waterfall sound is so relaxing! Love those chairs & table! I would spend the whole day in the pond!!🥰💙✂️🪻🌿

[@SisterShirley]

!!!

[@carricowherd3826]

Fall is going to look amazing around the pond. 😍

[@eileenchang2173]

I was surprised they were adding the fish in so soon when the pond was being built. When one has an aquarium one has to wait until the water ‘settles’ in . I guess it’s different for outdoor fish/Koi.

[@kristycannon7923]

Om goodness Laura, get you some Scuba booties with tread or some waiters for your pond work! Beautiful pond!!

[@kimlux8766]

Love how you left out the music while planting so we could hear the water and birds!

[@chrisrfan]

So good to see you loving that pond! Are all the fish still doing ok?

[@harrietweber2520]

I'm sure they are. Previously she had mentioned about counting them every day.

[@margaym5128]

Just so beautiful..........love watching the pond settle in..........love the plantings around it.

[@mjrepollo4545]

OMG! the pond gets more beautiful and relaxing after each new video. Looking forward to see the new paver paths!

[@gracejimenez1370]

Loved today’s video. Just Laura planting and the sound of nature. Such a gorgeous pond, looks so natural. Can’t wait to see the stone path!

[@marionwatford8360]

Oh Laura, the pond is just spectacular. The sound of the water fall would put me to sleep 😴💚 Happy Gardening 🧑‍🌾🍅🥕🥒🌶️🥬😅

[@cyndisgreenoasis6571]

I can just imagine Christmas around your pond

[@sallydunbar1683]

The sound of the running water is perfect!

[@leannes1801]

I LOVE sound of the sound of the water fall.

[@Teena-yi9xw]

Absolutely stunning addition to your already beautiful property!

[@patriciagurwitz509]

How fun to be a part of this excitement and love you share for gardening.🌸🌷🐟🌲

[@kathleencassel1350]

I recognized the voice first. You sound just like your dad, Aaron. I was looking on KZbin for teaching on I Kings because I am currently studying that part of the Bible. I started listening to that familiar voice and remembered that you had done several planting projects at your church, but I did not know what church it was, nor did I know your last name. I finally put it all together! I must say that I have learned so much about gardening from you and Laura, and I have also learned much about how to work together in a loving way. Obviously you have come from godly families who taught you well.

[@angielyons2146]

Planting with the sound of the water is just so relaxing.👍🏻

[@Bb-dq2to]

So happy to see you planting plumbago. I have an area of it and really like it. It does spread (slowly & desirably) in my zone 7a more humid location. It is slow to green-up in late spring, so a good thing is to underplant it with a small daffodil, like tête-à-tête, or my favorite, Thalia.

[@feliciacardone8900]

What a cool place to sit and have a glass of wine. ❤❤❤ btw Laura, love the nails!!

[@DianeCee0]

I've noticed that too. She always wore that same color. Now she is changing it up.

[@loissaedder2214]

Maybe some waders might be in order for pond maintenance if that needs to be done when it gets colder. Hello from Queensland

[@royde-bo-hun3113]

Wow. That pond area is just stunning. It's coming along beautifully. Such a new learning curve on the care for pond plants. I had no idea that you feed water pond lilies. Sooo excited to see the plants fill out and bloom bloom bloom. That blue color is sooo cooling by the water.

[@JRP58]

Such a peaceful space. What a gorgeous addition to your garden. Those new chairs really suit the space perfectly.

[@cherylnikituk3857]

Just love the natural look of teak furniture. So beautiful 🥰

[@debbietidwell2482]

I really love your pond area & looking so forward to seeing your new pavers added to the pond edge‼️Just such a beautiful peaceful area to enjoy‼️🥰❤️

[@teresamcdaniel2121]

My inner "groomer" was so satisfied watching you clean up the pond plants!

[@judyklein3221]

The pond area is so peaceful and lovely. I'm sure you would love to spend more time there! I certainly would. The plumbago is a perfect addition.💕

[@sunshineyellow707]

So fun seeing the pond maintenance! I know for modesty of the video you did it, but the wet jeans had my skin crawling haha. I saw someone comment on your instagram that that was exactly what they expected a Laura swimsuit to look like and it cracked me up!

[@lisahahn173]

Wow, that is fun watching Laura groom the pond! What a lovely oasis!

[@barbararobinson-cs3ym]

The pond is so relaxing to see. Love to see the various plants for ponds.

[@thedivide3688]

Ceratostigma plumbaginoides an amazing plant. Recommended to all 🥰 It's not a fussy plant at all...I haven't watered mine in 6 months and we've not rained in PNW for except a scant couple of hours the last 5 months.

[@racheljoy_z]

Birkenstocks in the water? Brave lady! (Not being critical! I'm genuinely curious, as I've never gotten mine wet other than rain.) Can't wait to see the pathway and patio. I'm so glad you decided to embrace berms and boulders, it all looks amazing.

[@elmersonescalantecuro6104]

Just so beautiful...love watching the pond settle in...love the plantings around it.

[@michelesimpson2237]

Beautiful blue addition to the pond area. Looks like your area gonna get the tail end of Hurricane Hilary. Nice cool down and some rain. Awesome

[@kierraklein2332]

This has been on my heart since you got your pond so please take my story into consideration with your kids: My parents had a pool before I was born. It was fenced in and locked. I was also in swim lessons since I was 3 (it saved my life). They always said “don’t swim in the pool without someone with you.” This particular hot day my uncle was watching me (age4) and my cousin (also 4). We decided we wanted to go swimming. My uncle was in the front yard talking to my neighbor non the wiser of our intention. Me and my cousin put on our floaties and found away over the locked fence into the pool. I jumped in but my cousin did not. My parents said SOMEONE should be with me so my 4 year old brain thought my cousin was enough. I don’t know how long I was drowning but if I didn’t go to swim lessons and knew to push off the bottom of the pool I would be dead. My cousin somehow got out of the pool area, over the fence, and went to her dad. He asked “where’s Kierra?” And she said “swimming.” He rescued me but so many things could have gone wrong. I wanted to share my experience to give you a warning of how quickly and silent downing happens. Please be VERY watchful-especially of Samantha Grace.

[@marilynking-hooper4624]

Thank you for commenting this…it was on my heart…but thought I’d go and check the comments to see if I was the only one, that would bring *the negative stigma*. Im sure Laura and Aaron are aware of the dangers of having *a watering hole in the yard with their children….I personally know a family that had the misfortune of losing one of their daughters to drowning…it only took a couple of minutes and that’s all it took for an eternity of the what ifs and could of’s. It’s so important to teach our children to swim, even when their babies….it can and will save their lives. Sending love to Laura and Aaron and family. 😘❤️🙏🏼🌺🐾🐾🐾

[@dotsouthard2980]

the pond is absolutely stunning, and the plumbago is going to be a great groundcover there! love hearing the sound of the waterfall when you're working around the pond.

[@lyonhawaii]

We had plumbago in Texas! We loved them!!!

[@thedirtygardener]

Did you have the creeping variety? I’ve only seen the upright/bush variety in Houston.

[@lindagardener855]

The pond is looking fantastic! Love it💖

[@bettyharvath5217]

Good morning from Delaware Garden Answer friends.

[@DarrinsDaffs]

Consider adding Plumbago to some of the rock crevices right at the pond's edge. They are beautiful in rock gardens. Laura, if you haven't already, please invest in some swim shorts. They'll be perfect for pond work and play! I can't imagine trying to get those soaking wet jeans off! I'm very excited about the stonework that's coming up. What a difference it's going to make!

[@MyBackyardScience]

The pond looks fabulous! For most gardens, you get your hand dirty, but for the pond, we see that your hands and entire self get wet as well! 😊

[@kitstah9741]

Good morning! 🌻🐝

[@BahamianLily]

It's beautiful, Laura. Still think you should look into the 'Waterlily' Autumn Crocus (Colchicum).

[@deborahhopkins7763]

I bet the kiddos would love to play with the huge boxes

[@rhodealexandre6583]

Hi Laura. At some point you going to need to wear plastic coveralls to work in the pond. Also, where are the fishes?

[@StephanieRuby09]

Thank you. Wearing a full outfit in a pond is not realistic or practical. I don't understand?

[@rofleury2801]

Loving everything about the pond area! So tranquil… and the wildlife (kitties) love it, too!

[@randomharts]

Omg, this would’ve been such a peaceful and fun planting project! I love the water sounds and dappled low light! I’m ready for fall and can’t wait to see some color changes❤️

[@sarahcoggins6225]

Maybe the footrests/ottomans that go in front of the chairs? Loungers for you and Aaron and nice perches for the kids when they’re not in the pond.

[@deetmar7esp]

I love those chairs! They are perfect for around the pond. You guts really enjoy the pond. It will even get used mire as UT cools down. Now you need something with fire around the pond!

[@ScotSheri]

This was wonderful this morning! I love the sound of the waterfall in the pond ....plants are beautiful as always!

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Laura what about a pair of water shoes to wear while doing pond maintenance!

[@debbierodriguez7368]

You are a good pond mommy.. you are doing awesome job, enjoy you guy's all the hard work you do every day a great way to relax you deserve the beauty of your pond the view spectacular. Bravo!

[@CatCaretakerID]

I love Adirondack chairs. I find them very comfortable to sit in and I am short, so chairs aren't always a good fit. Those from Country Casual are built the way Adirondack chairs should be. So lovely.

[@AmericanaGardens]

First view! 😂😂😂

[@wendymckee6627]

Over here in the U.K. .. pants are underwear. I was a bit 👀when u said u were going in in just ur pants.

[@harrietweber2520]

In US we say pants for trousers. Underwear would be 'panties'

[@esthert9146]

At first I was not digging the chairs, but once you placed them near the pond and it looks perfect.

[@colleenmasse9368]

Has anyone knoticed that Laura & Aaron have a perma smile on their faces everytime they are around or discuss the pond? Best idea ever!! What a wonderful area to enjoy w the family ❤🥰🫂

[@janeta2559]

You can do your garden answer highlights from those chairs with the sound of the waterfall in the background !

[@debbiewray7042]

The pond is amazing! I can’t wait to see Pedro’s paths put in. Thanks for putting the pond in this video! I love the sounds with my coffee ☕️

[@emeraldtownpaula7570]

The pond and chairs are beautiful! I enjoyed seeing us all! It’s been a while since he was in a video.🐕😊

[@kebergify]

It looked so peaceful in the pond while grooming the plants. What an interesting task and perfect for a hot day. I love those large tropical lillies!!

[@alldayidreamaboutplants]

I love that you get to listen to the water while you work. It must be so peaceful! The chairs are perfect. Adirondack chairs are so comfortable and the arms are perfect for placing your drink on!

[@loriand2798]

I like that there is open spaces around the pond. It looks more natural than having every space filled in with plants.

[@TRountree54]

Absolutely love your pond. 😊 I’m thinking a glass of Chardonnay and a place to land to soak in the peaceful solitude. Maybe a hammock strategically placed in the shade. 😴💤

[@kathywentz1232]

Laura if I had that beautiful pond I wouldn't want to leave that area!

[@kathierogers3208]

I love the chairs. I like how they don’t deep so far down in the back. It would make it easier for this old lady to get out of it. ☺️

[@jennaleigh6049]

What a nice way to start a hot day

[@carolineswu41]

I want to see you harvesting fruits in orchard and harvesting veggies ❤

[@kerryjean2223]

Very pretty and enjoyable to watch. That enormous lily has tripled I think. I thought you musy have bought another one x ❤️🐞🙏😇🇦🇺🕊️

[@sharabenson]

The Adirondack’s from Casual Teak are so pretty! Thanks for getting in the pond and showing us exactly what you do, I’m using your experiences to know how to own my own pond one day!! AQUASCAPE only, of course.

[@kandyharris2195]

I'd be putting on some hip waders to get in the pond 😉... later in the year that water might get a bit chilly 😂. The area looks amazing ! So peaceful and tranquil. Happy Gardening 👩‍🌾

[@wynorawishum5860]

I love the pond area. It looks great. Your plants look like they have been there a long time. The sound of the water just sooths the soul. You need some Keen brand water shoes, they work great. I love the sitting area and I am looking forward to the paver installation. What a great video. Love it. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@dogdoc1]

When I had a pond, I purchased fisherman water waiters to wear for inside pond maintenance because I hated getting wet with clothes on, and in the spring and fall water temperature wasn't so inviting.

[@Junona55]

Podziwiam Wasz pięknie wykreowany świat na piasku... Ta ogromna i fascynująca praca zachwyca mnie... z przyjemnością tutaj zaglądam i cieszę się z Wami waszym sukcesem. Gratuluję i niech Wam się darzy ... ❤
