I am so thankful that Aaron's Mom told you to "Jump." I have been following you for a few years, always in your current home. I love your positive energy. You have inspired me so much in my own garden and have given me hope in times of illness. Keep doing you ❤❤❤
THANK YOU for continuing this series! Seeing so many various gardens is wonderful, as is having a Saturday video. Thanks again for all you do for our entertainment & inspiration.
Love these videos and I’ll tell you why….I’ll try and make this short. I’ve always been a Gardner in one way or another since my teens. When I got older I would go to the Philly Flower show ( I live in NJ) and then gush over what I saw. My Aunt,who is a British Gardner, said to me , enjoy the show but remember that that is fantasy. You won’t see tulips blooming with roses in real life etc. she told me then if you want to see reality, go visit real gardens and you’ll see reality, warts and all. This is why I love these videos, your seeing real life gardens and real life solutions to problems and how the real folks do it, not professional gardens that have a professional staff to take of it all. Thanks keeping it real.
A little hobbit house for the kids. A stream in the back curving around the side for Aaron. (Or the house could sit on an "island") And a tree with some gorgeous plantings for Laura. ❤
I love hearing you & Aaron converse in these videos! It’s always reassuring to hear how other people’s gardens (& lives) have unfolded. As a person who’s short on patience/waiting, I appreciate it! 😁 Thanks for continuously inspiring all of us!!
Thank you guys for keeping this series going - it’s so much fun to see and hear the comments from you and Aaron, or your mom! It makes me think I better get my garden in shape just in case I want to send in a photo!!!! Chevy Chase, MD, zone 6/7.
Absolutely love this series. Thank you for sharing your thoughts at the end. It's interesting to hear how everything evolved from the beginning. And look where you are now!! All that determination and hard work paid off. God bless your journey.
Oh my goodness, absolutely stunning submissions this round. Totally took some screen shots. 😍 Thank you all for sharing your beautiful spaces with us. And thank you Laura and Aaron for your gracious hosting of the vids. Very much appreciate all the inspiration and ideas.😊
The little bit of history was delightful. It is what make your channel so human and warm. My father often reminisced about being 26, newly married and building his own home. He was quite proud of the fact he started with $80 in his pocket, an acre of land (a gift from his father-in-law) and no job. A leap of faith, even in the 50's. And his house still stands. Its nice to hear those leaps of faith and willingness to build on a wing and prayer still exist. As always it is so exciting to see so many gardens, at this time of year especially!
I looked at the very first picture and thought, that's the Brick Inn, which is 10 mins. from my house. Sure enough it was. It's fun to see all of the gardens, but to have one so close was awesome. I think I've done a lot with my space until I see all of these beautiful spaces everyone has created. I just keep plugging along with what I have, but you have been such an inspiration to keep going. I really like to hear more of your backstory. It is pretty encouraging to see where you've come from.
Wow... those garden submissions were stunning! I love it when we get to see the before shots of someone's garden spaces. I can't wait to see the new photos... I really love this series! Blessings to all the contributors. ~Margie🤗
What beautiful gardens. You can tell how important these spaces are to these people. I can’t imagine all the hours and hard work it took to make these beautiful spaces. Well done ❤️!
You can’t do too many of these in parallel with each other…. Bring on the small spaces videos, and the condo gardens, and the terrace videos, and the everything else! You have a dedicated editor. Let’s put him to work!! 😃
Good morning! I love these videos. It’s fun to see people’s ideas and the results. I also enjoy Laura & Aaron’s little snippets of their lives sprinkled in. So many beautiful spaces.
Thank you so much for your kind words, the gardens and inside of the B&B are a true labor of love for my parents. They were soooooo excited to see this video!
Thank you, Laura and Aaron, for being so honest and open with the economy and fears of taking The Big Steps to achieve your dreams and goals. Well Done!!! Our GA family is so Blessed and you encourage all of us! Thanks for the knowledge!!! Praying y'all are enjoying LENT and Happy Easter. 🤎🤎🌸🌸🐰🐰🌸🌸🤎🤎
As all of us here say.........WE LOVE THIS SERIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you to all those who send in their fab gardens views.......magical.....🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Deer are adorable but yeah imagine slow growing shrubs eaten to nubs, blooming plants stripped of all their flower buds, never being able to grow a vegetable without it being behind a fence or cage… they can do a lot of damage in a single night too. Oh 🦌
I love these Saturday Morning videos for several reasons. First of course seeing the gardens are so great for ideas. But, I was use to having coffee in the mornings and watching Laura's videos while having breakfast. Now that I am substitute teaching everyday I have to wait until I get home to get my daily "Fix" from Laura and Aaron. Now with the Saturday videos I get to have my "Breakfast With Laura and Aaron" again.
My husband and I just purchased our second new home. The back yard is blank and I’m at a loss, these gardens give me so much inspiration, thanks for sharing.
Haven't finished watching video but wanted to be first to comment. I never catch the video this early. Just so happened to go on YT. 😆😆 Inspiring. Thank you for doing these.
I love this series and have taken a ridiculous amount of screen shots. We moved to a large acreage two years ago and the yard was a blank slate except for a bazillion day lilies that I’m trying to reign in. I’ve gotten so inspired by your gardens as well as seeing ideas for spaces in this series. Love it all!!
Good morning Laura and family. Awesome gardens! Loved the Hobbit shed so adorable, YES! Your kids would love that, something to calling it their own, with their own small garden I can see it now😊. Thank you for continuing the series fun to watch on a weekend morning❤ Have a wonderful rest of the day and weekend. 👋🙂🌻
One of the entrances to Letchworth State Park is just a mile or two outside of Mt. Morris. Just as beautiful a place to explore as you could be staying in. 🥰🥰🥰
We closed on our new build in March 2017 in TX zone 8a and we were strapped for a bit as well. I'm happy things worked out for you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge as I have learned a ton since 2019! I'm in love with gardening.
I googled the Brick Inn B&B and it's fantastic! A place to stay for sure if I ever go to that part of the US. I love your channel Laura, it has been amazing to witness your growth over the years. Love from Portugal ❤
So nice to see these lovely gardens this morning. Woke to snow and 13 F, and a neighbor having a tall creek tree cut down. Those tree people must have been so cold!
Oh that little hobbit house! What an inspiration for the perfect Samantha-Benjamin play/study/project/clubhouse hideaway! There were so many wonderful gardens shown this week!
I love these videos. I feel like I’m sitting down with my best friends and having just the best time. I can’t help talking to the screen - saying “wait, go back to that picture, or zoom in and pause!” These videos just make me feel connected - sort of like I belong to a special gardening club who really gets me. Thank you ❤️🌸❤️
Glad I'm not the only one! I have to go back and re-watch continually to try and see what was next to the last shot! And sometimes just to dream about the garden I would lov5 to have..especially on cold dreary days.
I wish people would keep up with tree removal on their property. We were without power for 123 hours last week because we had a major wind storm. Huge dead trees laying all over the place! Good job with the editing, Taylor!
Such a lovely channel and you people are also so lovely. I am so happy to hear how it all worked out for you. Thank you for all the wonderful things you share on this channel. It gives me so much joy to watch it and know about all the different plants, flowers, gardening tips, etc. Wish you all the best. Keep making more such content.
At 10:00 did you guys notice the chandelier in the tree. 😮 amazing! What a cool addition. This is an amazing house and garden. Thanks for sharing. PS…yes, Laura and Aaron you need a stream! So many wonderful hard scape things in this episode!
Great video. It's nice to see that you are normal people that in the beginning you struggled like most do. It just takes patience to make things beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your story.
All the gardens are beautiful, but the first one was HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL. I want a garden like that!! I agree with you. Benjamin and Samantha Grace need a shed/ building like the one in the video. Of course, when you guys get your garden/gardens all planted up and designed the way you want it ,IT'S GOING TO BE STUNNING!!
Hearing you both telling your back story at the end of this video warms my heart! Most of us can recall that one moment when we had taken that giant leap of faith and made that one "lifestyle decision" that both changed and terrified us the most 😮❤ I did mine 22 yrs ago all alone but with a vision. I was at that transition stage of the kids starting college and me having the opportunity of a lifetime to purchase the "worst house, in the best neighborhood in town". It had all the right bones for my forever house but in need of a lot of work. Like that viewer that bought the property from an elderly couple who could no longer keep up with the overgrown gazebo garden, I too had to rehabilitate a huge overgrown corner lot that the owners had gotten too old to manage, while remodeling and updating everything indoors. The garden rehab was my therapy. Stone walls that became newly terraced gardens from my own version of steep "Widowmaker slopes" the dead dogwoods and cherries that we dug out and replanted with varieties that are now 25ft tall. The arborvitae hedge, the garden gates the perennial beds the vegetable garden the shade garden under the magnolia tree. The pergola I had built to cover the patio. Looking back, it was the best thing I ever did, testing my nerve on how I could handle a very complex and challenging project and grow from it. It taught me organizational and planning skills I never knew I had. Budgeting skills and delayed gratification lessons I could pass on. Like Aaron's mom said, "whats the worst that could happen? You have to sell and move?"
Hi Laura and Aaron! Yes, the kiddos need a playhouse and Aaron needs a stream! ;-) Thank you to all who submitted the beautiful gardens, and for Laura and Aaron for sharing!
Beautiful homes and landscaping shown here! Loved the little gnome brick house and how cute having something like that would be for Benjamin and Samantha to play in. I’m sure you could fine a nice area on your property to tuck that in some place. 😊
Love this series! It was nice to hear about your start as I am just at the beginning of my gardening journey starting with a blank slate...I'm here for the journey so thanks for the inspiration:)
Another Wonderful Saturday Video. What Beautiful and Gorgeous Gardens, this one is just chock full of impressive gardens. But as much as I came for the Gardens, it's the Tangents you and Aaron get on that are so heartwarming. I enjoy the reminiscing that gives insightful clarity to your life journey. Please continue these Saturday treats. I would love also your Small Spaces and other different expansions of this Saturday Fun. It makes me start the weekend with a smile. Thanks to both of your Editors, they do very good work, Kudos indeed. Aaron's Mom seems quite interesting, I love Laura's Mom and Dad and would love to know more about your families, of they are amenable to sharing. Again a Perfect start to the weekend. Mahalo and Aloha.🌳🌲🪴💐🤩🥰💝
I love that you and Aaron share so much with us. And, it does my heart good to hear all your stories and those of the submitters. I recently bought my first home last summer and I have so many plans. But like you and others, I have to be strategic financially and make changes slowly and these videos help to know, that in time, I will have a beautiful space that one day may inspire others. Thank you again!
Always amazed and in awe of these submissions - they could be in home & garden magazines!! 😍🤩 I especially enjoy the before and after pictures with the history - all the love and sweat it took to get their gardens to where they are now. And, most of all, how graciously you and Aaron share your memories and future plans with us - thank you! Looking forward to the small space submissions!
Can I just say that I love how you are so genuinely complimentary to even that smallest and beginning projects. You never even hint at turning up your nose at small spaces or lower budget projects.
OMG ,Laura, Mt. Morris is near me just southeast of Buffalo NY, There a so many beautiful places to visit near this B&B , but the best place is Letchworth State Park, with is waterfalls, parks, and playgrounds it has been voted one of Americas most Beautiful Parks , what an adventure for you Aron and the kids ! ❤
Beautiful as usual! Makes my Saturday coffee time awesome! So enjoyed hearing you guys talk about the beginnings. Reminded me of decades ago when my husband and I built our first house. Struggling through those hard times builds strong relationships. You guys are blessed. Thanks for sharing with us.
I thoroughly enjoy watching you two ! You both are so inspirational to me! The kids are so adorable, Benjamin is a mini Aaron and Samantha a mini You!! You two are truly Blessed and we are Blessed to be a small part of your lives!!
Oh the deer. I never need to cut back my Red Twig Dogwood bushes because the deer keep them trimmed to the perfect size. Of course, these bushes will never cover the chain link fence.
I love the glimpse of where you guys came from -house-wise and garden-wise-and where you are now. I like how you haven't done everything that you've wanted to your home and garden because you don't have an unlimited budget. It gives me hope of what I want to do to sweeten up my home and garden.
@Garden Answer 👋👋Good Sunday morning, Laura and Aaron! I was playing in my yard yesterday and I finally potted up my succulents in my head planter. My head is a bit smaller than your. But, I am impressed with mine!😊 Thank you for the inspiration. Now, unpausing tv 📺 to watch Saturdays and Sundays videos. 😂🤣😂 Inserted "THAT'S WHAT WE NEED." Too funny!!! I can't quite remember, is your name Richard? I LOVE LOVE LOVE when you 2 share more of your humble beginnings, with us all!😊😊 The majority of us have started that way too. With the exception of people that were born into wealth. Hubby and I should be good, (due to wise decisions and spending habits) for the rest of our lives (knock on wood, no unfores👀n medical issues/expenses arise. 🙏🙏) But, I still choose to buy clearance plants to give them a glorious second chance to shine!!! Thank you to all of the photo submissions of your beautiful gardens!!!!😊🤗🤩 They were all absolutely stunning, regardless of the size! Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/night/week 🌞/🌜✨️⭐️🌟⭐️✨️ 🌐 everyone!!! Kimberley F in the Arizona desert 🌞🌵💞🏜😎 (Zone 9b) USA 🇺🇸
The BrickInn Bed and Breakfast is equally beautiful inside and the hosts are wonderful. You should see it at Christmas. This place is definitely right up your alley Laura. We live an hour away and visit frequently.
Hillside gardening is a hugely under-shared aspect in the garden! LOVE this! Making level spaces up the hill is so hard, but worth it so you don't have to be a gymnast in order to prune your plants. That was an awesome endeavor, very well done.
I also loved hearing the conversation between Aaron and you. Think that during these sessions it is a winner combo! Thanks for sharing your garden passion with us. I am just getting started landscaping a property I purchased 2 years ago in zone 9b. It has been very challenging coming from zone 5. I started once before when my area was mostly shade due to wooded lots on the east and south sides of my property plus 5 very large oak trees. Then 2 developers cleared both lots, the city trimmed back my large trees on the electric line and then the last 2 hurricanes took a toll on my very large oak trees in the front yard that eventually had to be removed. I have learned quickly won't work in my yard and have had to research what will. You keep me motivated to continue on gardening.
Such an interesting conversation this morning..and beautiful gardens of course ...hearing about hardships when you just start out is important for gardeners and for future or new homeowners. I remember when I had to budget just to buy a new rake or shovel when we had just bought our first house......memories
i currently have a small patio but I dream of the day I have my own garden with a lawn where I can plant trees hydrangeas and grow old 💙 if I ever can’t sleep or feel down trodden about going back to school I just imagine my beautiful garden in the future and it keeps me going. Thank you for sharing these beautiful gardens! It was much needed for me today.
Laura&Aaron: I enjoyed watching your video and seeing all of the beautiful gardens! Seems like both of you have some new ideas for your home & future traveling plans. Very exciting! Every time I watch your videos I get new ideas for designing my garden soon. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Every blessing to you guys always!
Love this series! Please keep it going. So grateful for all the real life inspiration from others’ spaces. It fosters a feeling of community to see everyone else’s passion and what they’ve done with it.
Awesome! Tyler and Bryan, THE BLACK FENCE!! All of my structural stuff is black, even cattle panel trellises - it sucks to spray paint those, but I want what I want! I thank Laura for this inspiration, and great examples of the power of black in the garden. Lori 6b Saint Louis, Missouri
This is a great series, thank you. I have a property with minimal landscaping, I’m taking my time planning, and it’s helpful seeing the variety of landscapes to get ideas.
I am so thankful that Aaron's Mom told you to "Jump." I have been following you for a few years, always in your current home. I love your positive energy. You have inspired me so much in my own garden and have given me hope in times of illness. Keep doing you ❤❤❤
THANK YOU for continuing this series! Seeing so many various gardens is wonderful, as is having a Saturday video. Thanks again for all you do for our entertainment & inspiration.
Aaron whispers we need a stream lol 😂
Love these videos and I’ll tell you why….I’ll try and make this short. I’ve always been a Gardner in one way or another since my teens. When I got older I would go to the Philly Flower show ( I live in NJ) and then gush over what I saw. My Aunt,who is a British Gardner, said to me , enjoy the show but remember that that is fantasy. You won’t see tulips blooming with roses in real life etc. she told me then if you want to see reality, go visit real gardens and you’ll see reality, warts and all. This is why I love these videos, your seeing real life gardens and real life solutions to problems and how the real folks do it, not professional gardens that have a professional staff to take of it all. Thanks keeping it real.
A little hobbit house for the kids. A stream in the back curving around the side for Aaron. (Or the house could sit on an "island") And a tree with some gorgeous plantings for Laura. ❤
I love hearing you & Aaron converse in these videos! It’s always reassuring to hear how other people’s gardens (& lives) have unfolded. As a person who’s short on patience/waiting, I appreciate it! 😁 Thanks for continuously inspiring all of us!!
I was just coming to add a similar comment! Yes, it’s so fun seeing you discuss the gardens and your lives. It’s been so fun
There are times when you and Aaron are talking that I can see the love just oozing across the room between you two. Beautiful thing to see.
Thank you guys for keeping this series going - it’s so much fun to see and hear the comments from you and Aaron, or your mom! It makes me think I better get my garden in shape just in case I want to send in a photo!!!! Chevy Chase, MD, zone 6/7.
Absolutely love this series. Thank you for sharing your thoughts at the end. It's interesting to hear how everything evolved from the beginning. And look where you are now!! All that determination and hard work paid off. God bless your journey.
Please keep this going as long as possible. I just love it!
Oh my goodness, absolutely stunning submissions this round. Totally took some screen shots. 😍 Thank you all for sharing your beautiful spaces with us. And thank you Laura and Aaron for your gracious hosting of the vids. Very much appreciate all the inspiration and ideas.😊
I'm with on screenshots for inspiration!
Ha! I took screenshots too 😅

How fun! I’m in Buffalo and went to Mt. Morris for a weekend away with my husband this past summer. Such a pretty town and area!
Wow... those garden submissions were stunning! I love it when we get to see the before shots of someone's garden spaces. I can't wait to see the new photos... I really love this series! Blessings to all the contributors. ~Margie🤗
“We need that. We need a stream!” I was rolling laughing. These vids are awesome.
Would love to see what happened in the piano room, that we got a glimpse of around Christmas time…speaking of paint colours💙💜💛
What beautiful gardens. You can tell how important these spaces are to these people. I can’t imagine all the hours and hard work it took to make these beautiful spaces. Well done ❤️!
When I pass by a nice landscape/garden, it always lifts my mood, and I am always appreciative of the dedication and work behind it.
Very nice Saturday surprise. Thank you two for the beautiful start to a day Laura & Aaron. ❤
You can’t do too many of these in parallel with each other…. Bring on the small spaces videos, and the condo gardens, and the terrace videos, and the everything else! You have a dedicated editor. Let’s put him to work!! 😃
Good morning! I love these videos. It’s fun to see people’s ideas and the results. I also enjoy Laura & Aaron’s little snippets of their lives sprinkled in. So many beautiful spaces.
That B & B was absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much for your kind words, the gardens and inside of the B&B are a true labor of love for my parents. They were soooooo excited to see this video!
Thank you for sharing your story about moving to this property and helping us keep in mind good things take time to develop.
Thank you, Laura and Aaron, for being so honest and open with the economy and fears of taking The Big Steps to achieve your dreams and goals. Well Done!!! Our GA family is so Blessed and you encourage all of us! Thanks for the knowledge!!! Praying y'all are enjoying LENT and Happy Easter. 🤎🤎🌸🌸🐰🐰🌸🌸🤎🤎
As all of us here say.........WE LOVE THIS SERIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you to all those who send in their fab gardens views.......magical.....🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Deer are adorable but yeah imagine slow growing shrubs eaten to nubs, blooming plants stripped of all their flower buds, never being able to grow a vegetable without it being behind a fence or cage… they can do a lot of damage in a single night too. Oh 🦌
I feel your pain, from southeast Michigan 🙁
Deer are a MENACE! 🤣 They are adorable, but they are destructive, not only for plants, but they cause a TON of car wrecks.
I love these Saturday Morning videos for several reasons. First of course seeing the gardens are so great for ideas. But, I was use to having coffee in the mornings and watching Laura's videos while having breakfast. Now that I am substitute teaching everyday I have to wait until I get home to get my daily "Fix" from Laura and Aaron. Now with the Saturday videos I get to have my "Breakfast With Laura and Aaron" again.
So glad you took the leap of faith! Your channel is my all time favorite! Enjoy learning and seeing all the beautiful gardens!
My husband and I just purchased our second new home. The back yard is blank and I’m at a loss, these gardens give me so much inspiration, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful gardens! Gives my garden hope! 😂😂

I’ve gotten so inspired by your gardens as well as seeing ideas for spaces in this series. Love it all!!
I live in Granbury TX. We have wild Red Buds everywhere. Love them when they are in bloom.
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day 🥰
I love this series so much! I wish all the people submitting photos would include their instagram. I want to see more pictures of everything.
Good morning Laura and Aaron! Love seeing all these beautiful gardens and conversations. Hugs from N.C..❤️
Thanks for sharing the house buying bit..i enjoy it a lot..I think that’s one of the reasonsssss we love watching you so much. You guys rock
Good morning Laura and family.
Awesome gardens! Loved the Hobbit shed so adorable, YES! Your kids would love that, something to calling it their own, with their own small garden I can see it now😊. Thank you for continuing the series fun to watch on a weekend morning❤ Have a wonderful rest of the day and weekend. 👋🙂🌻

Beautiful B&B !
Also wonderful location in New York to see Letchworth State Park the Grand Canyon of the East! A true gem! 👍❤️👍
I love these. brightens the foggy Saturday morning.
Good morning, Laura & Aaron☕️ I love the before and after pictures the best. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
So nice to see these lovely gardens this morning. Woke to snow and 13 F, and a neighbor having a tall creek tree cut down. Those tree people must have been so cold!
I’ve always thought dormers would make your home feel more grand like this lovely first home!!
Oh that little hobbit house! What an inspiration for the perfect Samantha-Benjamin play/study/project/clubhouse hideaway! There were so many wonderful gardens shown this week!
Thank you Laura and Aaron.
I love these videos. I feel like I’m sitting down with my best friends and having just the best time. I can’t help talking to the screen - saying “wait, go back to that picture, or zoom in and pause!” These videos just make me feel connected - sort of like I belong to a special gardening club who really gets me.

Same here!
Glad I'm not the only one! I have to go back and re-watch continually to try and see what was next to the last shot! And sometimes just to dream about the garden I would lov5 to have..especially on cold dreary days.

Always amazed and in awe of these submissions - they could be in home & garden magazines!! 😍🤩 I especially enjoy the before and after pictures with the history - all the love and sweat it took to get their gardens to where they are now. And, most of all, how graciously you and Aaron share your memories and future plans with us - thank you!
Looking forward to the small space submissions!
Can I just say that I love how you are so genuinely complimentary to even that smallest and beginning projects. You never even hint at turning up your nose at small spaces or lower budget projects.
OMG ,Laura, Mt. Morris is near me just southeast of Buffalo NY, There a so many beautiful places to visit near this B&B , but the best place is Letchworth State Park, with is waterfalls, parks, and playgrounds it has been voted one of Americas most Beautiful Parks , what an adventure for you Aron and the kids ! ❤
Beautiful as usual! Makes my Saturday coffee time awesome! So enjoyed hearing you guys talk about the beginnings. Reminded me of decades ago when my husband and I built our first house. Struggling through those hard times builds strong relationships. You guys are blessed. Thanks for sharing with us.
I’m loving these videos. It’s such a treat to be able to relax and watch a Saturday video when I don’t have to run off to work.
Paul & Bethany probably have mixed emotions about these videos..'They want this, they want that'!!😂. Everything gorgeous!
That first porch is nice but a bit small for the size of the house. It would be amazing with a wraparound porch, lol, that is my jam.
I thoroughly enjoy watching you two ! You both are so inspirational to me! The kids are so adorable, Benjamin is a mini Aaron and Samantha a mini You!! You two are truly Blessed and we are Blessed to be a small part of your lives!!
Oh the deer. I never need to cut back my Red Twig Dogwood bushes because the deer keep them trimmed to the perfect size. Of course, these bushes will never cover the chain link fence.
Aaron's quick save by saying "nothing wrong at all" after the Ruby Falls statement...LOL
I need to know more about that mini stone cottage!! I want one too 😍😍😍
It was so wonderful to see everyone's garden. It's just so inspiring. 2 days till spring ❤❤❤
I love the glimpse of where you guys came from -house-wise and garden-wise-and where you are now. I like how you haven't done everything that you've wanted to your home and garden because you don't have an unlimited budget. It gives me hope of what I want to do to sweeten up my home and garden.

👋👋Good Sunday morning, Laura and Aaron!
I was playing in my yard yesterday and I finally potted up my succulents in my head planter. My head is a bit smaller than your. But, I am impressed with mine!😊 Thank you for the inspiration. Now, unpausing tv 📺 to watch Saturdays and Sundays videos.
😂🤣😂 Inserted "THAT'S WHAT WE NEED." Too funny!!! I can't quite remember, is your name Richard?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE when you 2 share more of your humble beginnings, with us all!😊😊 The majority of us have started that way too. With the exception of people that were born into wealth.
Hubby and I should be good, (due to wise decisions and spending habits) for the rest of our lives (knock on wood, no unfores👀n medical issues/expenses arise. 🙏🙏) But, I still choose to buy clearance plants to give them a glorious second chance to shine!!!
Thank you to all of the photo submissions of your beautiful gardens!!!!😊🤗🤩 They were all absolutely stunning, regardless of the size!
Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/night/week 🌞/🌜✨️⭐️🌟⭐️✨️ 🌐 everyone!!!

The BrickInn Bed and Breakfast is equally beautiful inside and the hosts are wonderful. You should see it at Christmas. This place is definitely right up your alley Laura. We live an hour away and visit frequently.
Yes! Small spaces! It’s hard to relate to all of these grand huge spaces when you only have a city lot. All so beautiful though!
Wow❣️❣️❣️ Spectacular Show🥰 Chris
Hillside gardening is a hugely under-shared aspect in the garden! LOVE this! Making level spaces up the hill is so hard, but worth it so you don't have to be a gymnast in order to prune your plants. That was an awesome endeavor, very well done.
All of us @5:44 “Petunias!”
I’m watching and they are talking about their mothers’ advice on homes, it’s cool to see that they are reflections of their own moms!
I also loved hearing the conversation between Aaron and you. Think that during these sessions it is a winner combo! Thanks for sharing your garden passion with us. I am just getting started landscaping a property I purchased 2 years ago in zone 9b. It has been very challenging coming from zone 5. I started once before when my area was mostly shade due to wooded lots on the east and south sides of my property plus 5 very large oak trees. Then 2 developers cleared both lots, the city trimmed back my large trees on the electric line and then the last 2 hurricanes took a toll on my very large oak trees in the front yard that eventually had to be removed. I have learned quickly won't work in my yard and have had to research what will. You keep me motivated to continue on gardening.
Such an interesting conversation this morning..and beautiful gardens of course ...hearing about hardships when you just start out is important for gardeners and for future or new homeowners. I remember when I had to budget just to buy a new rake or shovel when we had just bought our first house......memories
Aaron and Laura our heart is the same, absouletly love colonial/gerogian..thank you for your work, its brings so much joy and inspo.
Props to the tree savers. Cheers to you!
We have sycamore trees all over they grow almost like weeds but I love them so much !Also I love your looking back in time .
I thoroughly enjoy the Beautiful Gardens videos! Small spaces gardens would be delightful. Also gardening in challenging climates.
i currently have a small patio but I dream of the day I have my own garden with a lawn where I can plant trees hydrangeas and grow old 💙 if I ever can’t sleep or feel down trodden about going back to school I just imagine my beautiful garden in the future and it keeps me going. Thank you for sharing these beautiful gardens! It was much needed for me today.
As I’m watching the video, is funny how I have the same reaction. Awww, oMG, I NEED THAT… lol gardeners are sooo funny!
Laura&Aaron: I enjoyed watching your video and seeing all of the beautiful gardens! Seems like both of you have some new ideas for your home & future traveling plans. Very exciting! Every time I watch your videos I get new ideas for designing my garden soon. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Every blessing to you guys always!
Nice bio on the home purchase. Can’t imagine what it would be like without Garden Answer. You all have come a long way.
Love this series! Please keep it going. So grateful for all the real life inspiration from others’ spaces. It fosters a feeling of community to see everyone else’s passion and what they’ve done with it.
Minnesota ! You have THE most beautiful home and garden EVER! Amazing 💕🌿🪴
I'm looking at 4' of snow covering my garden in Alaska. These videos give me life!!
Awesome! Tyler and Bryan, THE BLACK FENCE!! All of my structural stuff is black, even cattle panel trellises - it sucks to spray paint those, but I want what I want! I thank Laura for this inspiration, and great examples of the power of black in the garden. Lori 6b Saint Louis, Missouri
That home in Minnesota......I really need to up my game!!! soooo beautiful
I just adore you two being enthusiastic about garden spaces and being excited with ideas for your own space. So fun!
This is a great series, thank you. I have a property with minimal landscaping, I’m taking my time planning, and it’s helpful seeing the variety of landscapes to get ideas.
