Laura, that Arbor Vitae hedge behind you is looking *FANTASTIC* ! They're now taller than the fence and from the angle we were seeing, they look like they're touching. *PLEASE* do a garden tour.
I love that you remind us to start planting these beauties now! Love the hollies and fluffy. You have changed my opinion of evergreen 🌲. I have such an appreciation for them now!
Your place is like a well placed beautiful garden center. Either a waiting area for heaven, your parents as well planing and alot of hard WORK. GOOD FOR ALL OF YOU KEEP IT UP.
My favorite is the Celtics Pride Siberian Cypress, love how 'ferny' it looks...I do have a thing for ferns. I'd like to put one in a pot on my porch. Honestly I love all of these, thanks for expanding my list of wanted plants!
I love your winter interest plant reviews. I have put in, for the first time, evergreens of various shapes and sizes into my garden so I'll now have something lovely to look at during winter. I also got five Anna Magic Balls which are gorgeous.
Ohhh yeah coffee with Laura and lovely new plants!! What a nice variety of things to put out in the garden and more plants for me to add to the list. I love the pots with the Inkberry Holly and those red/orange pansies!!!!!!! That pop of red color is amazing I sure hope I can find some. I love all the choices you showcased as they have such great color but that light green color is the best!! Good to see Russell following along and helping out lol
Good morning, having coffee with you. I love the selection of plants. We have a hedge that needs to go and the last plant would be perfect there. Also love seeing the cat follow you around.
I work at a local nursery in Indianapolis, and sell all of those plants except Gin Fizz Juniper. Seems like the berry production on it is better than most Junipers! I am absolutely in love with the Anna's Magic Ball Arborvitae. I have one planted right by my mailbox because it will stay dwarf forever with no pruning! Also I don't quite get why Gem Box Inkberry Holly is less hardy than the straight species. Inkberry Holly is hardy to zone 4 and even survives zone 3, yet Gem Box is listed zone 5. Maybe the dwarf size somehow decreased it's hardiness. 🌲❄️
How does Anna's Magic Ball hold up with snow piled on top? When they plow near our mailboxes it gets high. Would it weigh down the middle of the plant?
Love your kitty. He is always following you! How sweet! I live in PA and we are a zone 6. These plants are a wonderful choice for us as we are starting to repopulate our property and I need that winter interest. Such a great video! Thanks!
Love all the bushes!!!! I already have a couple of them! I am going to read about the others & maybe put them on the list for next year! I agree with you about planting another Anna's Magic Ball to balance the walkway landscape!! 😍🌿👍💚🍁🍂🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲❄☃️🌿
Once again you have given me so many wonderful ideas for my own small yard, I live in a zone 5 and I would love to put some of these beautiful plants in my yard, but when the snow comes there is always so much in my yard that I am afraid everything would be so buried they may not like it, but then it would insulate and protect it. I loved seeing Russell sitting there while you were talking about the one gorgeous shrub, Aaron that was perfect to capture him there. That is the one I would love to put in my yard, one on each side of the sidewalk tucked about three feet in, I can envision it the way I want it to look. Thank you so much Laura you are always such an inspiration and I just love your videos. Thanks again to you and Aaron.
Hi Laura! Love all your videos! But in this particular one, your jacket/coat caught my attention the most. Do you mind sharing where you got it from/what brand? Thanks!
I ordered both Poppins for my yard. They came in the middle of summer yet are still doing really well. I didn't remember they were problematic for pets. Love that Celtic Pride Cypress!
Can you make a video on the care of mature evergreens? I have 3 in front of my home and they're probably more than 5 years old, about 6 foot tall and 3 foot wide. I would love to cut them down a bit but don't want to kill them or cause them to look bad. When is the best time to trim them and can I shape a mature evergreen w/o hurting it?
Thank you again Laura and Aaron for again a great video! You both are totaly great together and inspire me so much! Laura’s knowledge is amazing big and I’am realy happy she is sharing it here together with a very loving husband filming and edditing. Thank you again making me part of you’re Green-Happy-Life! Love from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Good morning! I love every one of these. I moved to my house 3 years ago and haven’t done much. I pretty much have a clean slate to work with. You give me so many great ideas!
Thank you. I love learning about the plants. I live zone 6b, but I have clay dry soil so I have a hard time growing some plants, but I love learning which ones I can grow and which ones I can't.
Any time she says these plants prefer acidic soil, then you're in business. Clay is acidic. Also, Jim Putnam's CZcams channel Hortube might be good for you. He's in Raleigh. Zone 7. I love his channel too, since I have clay soil and am in Zone 7 as well.
I always benefit and learn so much from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!! I truly appreciate your input for my own garden. 😊
Hi Laura loved your video today on winter interest of plants for your garden .l just love evergreen plants in my garden and the ones you were showing us were just beautiful.l love it when you do these type of videos as you give us ideas of plant s for our garden when we are wondering on what to put in .thank you
I love that you put so much emphasis on each seasons interest plants. I used to think gardens were only for spring and summer, but you have certainly confirmed they are not. These choices are beautiful, although only a couple will work in my zone 8, I’m excited to add them to my garden. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It has really made me a better gardener. 👏🏻❤️👏🏻
I was the same way and now I *love* to search youtube for winter gardens and plants that bloom in the winter (like Camellia and Witch Hazel [trees] and snow drops [they're bulbs] and really early blooming plants like Hellebores). So interesting.
Thank you for this information! I’ve been looking for a large evergreen to use as a screen in zone 8b. I think I’m going to give #5, the juniper Gin Fizz a try. It will have lots of sun, but be on the north side of our property, so hopefully the summer heat and humidity won’t take it out! Thanks again! 💚🌿
Lol, “chilly “! The high temp was 97 in South Texas today. It’s almost 10 pm and it’s still 82. Oh well, soon, I hope, it will cool off some. The plants are beautiful as always!
i keep up with most of your new videos, and also watch older ones regularly. Aaron's camerawork and editing have gotten so awesome! I watched something from a few years ago yesterday, and the difference is noticeable. Good job team!!
Gracious, you are killing me and my bank acct. You have spawned a new addiction for me and many others I am sure. Just wanted to share how much I enjoy your gardens, advice, kitty (love how he follows you everywhere), and family clips...inspirational to my average size yard (7K sq ft of actual landscaping possibilities). Keep up the great presentations, no easy task but you have the gift! I am currently prepping for my winter interest in Southern Ca...a 15 minute season here.
Love all of these. I’m working on adding evergreens to my garden. More winter interest plant videos please. Your videos introduce us to great plants and knowledge.
Around Christmastime, Laura takes you to a neighbor's home for a tour and tells you that she and Arron own the house that used to belong to that very neighbor!
I have a Jantar Cedar (coloured like the Fluffy) and I have it between a Wine & Roses Weigela and Karl Foerster grasses, and a variegated Euonymus in front. Sooooo pretty. The Wine colour with the yellow is awesome. 👌
Fluffy just might be the arborvitae I'm looking for to replace the 50yr old Emerald that flanks the steps up to my front porch! I string christmas lights on it every winter but it's such a vigorous plant that I have to spend a lot of time pruning it to maintain the max. 12ft height for the job. A compact evergreen arborvitae that only grows 10-12 ft is the answer. The Emerald is coming out next spring (groan) and Fluffy it is!
Love seeing your, cute as can be, ginger co host joining you for this episode of Garden Answers. Also love the ideas for winter interest plants. You are always helpful and inspiring 💜
Hi Laura! I follow you from Italy. Your videos are amazing, particularly the one you introduce new variety of plant. Can I suggest one thing? It would be amazing if you write or mention the Latin name of the plant in your videos, so no native English speaker can recognize what plant your talking about. Thank! Keep doing this great content!!
Yes!!! THANK YOU!!! I have needed this exact wisdom and understanding for our next big adventure in our yard! Y'all are awesome!!! God's best to each of you!!! Love love love Garden Answers!!! 💚😍💚🐾💚🐝💚🐾💚😍💚
Dear Laura I love your videos and I have learned a lot from you. Unfortunately I live in miami zone 10 and most of your plants and Wonderful planters design would not survive here. Design some for zone 10 pleeease,! ELIANA CRYING IN MIAMI
Hi Laura and Aaron! I really like your 5 picks for winter interest. They'll be so pretty in your gardens. I'm anxious to see where you plant them. Nice seeing Russel making some appearances, too! 😹 Thank you for sharing!
Great video. Do you know of a of a evergreen tree that has that Christmas tree shape that won't get too tall and wide? My sister wants to put one on the edge of a flower bed near the house and she doesn't want it to get too tall or too wide everyone we look at gets massive.
Hi Laura. Planning to design a new garden and was curious to know how fluffy did? I worry about the snow deforming them. My sky rocket blue pines could never recover, and after reaching ten feet, I had to toss from the front, so sad. I do have the Anna’s and sure have enjoyed them! 😊 TIA!
love that the kitties are almost always present for the videos! They are obviously loved.
-yeah but she planting 3 red berry plants that she said is not good for animals, by the house!
Watching videos by you is almost like "Where's Russel" 😂 He's always lurking around you! 😍
Laura, that Arbor Vitae hedge behind you is looking *FANTASTIC* ! They're now taller than the fence and from the angle we were seeing, they look like they're touching. *PLEASE* do a garden tour.
Jake Jones I second that, we’ve had hardly any tours this year and her garden is looking the best it ever has
I love seeing the cats in the background always, I could watch a whole video with snippets from the cats in the garden!
Same... 😊
Thanks Aaron for helping my imagination by popping in the yellow arborvitae - my day is complete! 🌳👍🤗
Look at Aaron popping plants in the videos, “pop.” 🤣
R Darrett I wish I knew how to do that. It would make planning my flowerbeds so much easier. Haha
I love that you remind us to start planting these beauties now! Love the hollies and fluffy. You have changed my opinion of evergreen 🌲. I have such an appreciation for them now!

I just love yellow arborvitae I planted two in my backyard in a planter
Such a nice first screan with the five plants label them write on ...you know plants we don't...thank you..sweet planting
I wish shrubs would just ‘pop’ into the garden like in your video, no backbreaking hole digging 😀🌲🌳❤️
I wish my weeds could just "pop" out! Lol!

The smell of juniper reminds me of my childhood. So lovely.
Aaron, the awesome virtual gardener!
Love your kitty. He is always following you! How sweet! I live in PA and we are a zone 6. These plants are a wonderful choice for us as we are starting to repopulate our property and I need that winter interest. Such a great video! Thanks!
That first plant I planted many years ago. It’s now 12 ft. Tall and spread out the same. I live in Virginia where it snows and gets very cold.
thanks for the zones 4 and 3 plants tips
Love seeing King Russell doing a royal walkabout!! 🐈🐈🐈 So cute!
I love that holly beautiful red berries with snow on them what a Christmas picture in your yard
Could you please talk about these plant for zone 9? How they might work? We have similar summers but I have no snow an some frost.💖🐞
That would be an interesting topic!
Love all the bushes!!!! I already have a couple of them! I am going to read about the others & maybe put them on the list for next year! I agree with you about planting another Anna's Magic Ball to balance the walkway landscape!! 😍🌿👍💚🍁🍂🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲❄☃️🌿

Hi Laura! Love all your videos! But in this particular one, your jacket/coat caught my attention the most. Do you mind sharing where you got it from/what brand? Thanks!
Yes, her jacket is super cute! 😊
Yes, I noticed the jacket too! I need one! Maybe a different color though....
Aaron doing special effects is great!
I ordered both Poppins for my yard. They came in the middle of summer yet are still doing really well. I didn't remember they were problematic for pets. Love that Celtic Pride Cypress!
Oh I love these ideas...especially berry poppins!!! Structural interest in Winter, love it! 💖
winter+interest=winterest :)
Courtney Lusk I really love this blend (or portmanteau) and try to establish it ❤️❄️

Living vicariously through you! I live in the Sonoran desert so we don't really have much winter here! I miss the seasons so much. 😢
Thank you again Laura and Aaron for again a great video! You both are totaly great together and inspire me so much!

Lucky you! Here in Nashville, TN, the forecast calls for highs in the upper 90's for the next 4 days.. Can hardly wait for the cooler temperatures.
I love the Ginger kitty on here just as much as the gorgeous plantings!!!
Good morning! I love every one of these. I moved to my house 3 years ago and haven’t done much. I pretty much have a clean slate to work with. You give me so many great ideas!

@@jille9650 Thank you.
I really want pink snowberry bush! My garden centers here don't have any and I have never ordered a plant online! Beautiful as always!
The Arbs along the fence really took off this year !
Thank you for showcasing plants for zone 3!!!
Very interesting and gorgeous evergreens!! See Russell supervising!
☺🐈💙

I love the berry Poppins. So pretty
Thanks
Oh my gosh the Poppins plants are sooooo pretty but I have dogs that are labs ...they love to eat everything...so many great ideas for these plants.
Absolutely gorgeous plates👍👍💕🍁🍁
Love the yellow arborvitae!
I would love to hear the story of how you came to acquire your house.
Around Christmastime, Laura takes you to a neighbor's home for a tour and tells you that she and Arron own the house that used to belong to that very neighbor!

Beautiful plants. Sweet kitty.

Every. Single. Ep. KITTIES. They are hilarious! ❤️😂
Just in love with that juniper one 💓 as well as the red berry poppins one. Any tips on a dwarf alberta spruce
Me too!
My tip would be don’t plant one, they are magnets for spider mites, they are lovely plants but not worth the hassle in my opinion
Berry Poppins, I need it for the name alone!
So stunning , absolutely beautiful yard you have ...
This zone 8 gardener keeps groaning at all of the zone ranges!!!! Need some good zone 8 evergreens!
Soooooo many cool plants !
You have a beautiful selection of trees thank you for all that great information.
Viewed again today for zone 8. reallyreallyreally want to find Ink Berry Holly & Barry Poppins. Sr Disco on Thursdays (tomorrow). Thx so much. cgzone8
Good morning y'all🤓, thank you for a very informative video. Y'alls Garden looks gorgeous. Have a blessed day🍂🍁🌺🌱❤
This video is a keeper (most are) I love the ones that include me at a colder zone 4 for winter.
Lovely!
Love those, I love evergreens especially conifers.💜🌲🌲🌳🌱
Love this, find it hard to find a variety of winter interest to place around the yard
Omg! I'm in love! I just 3 ordered proven winners Berry poppins and one Mr poppins! I'm so so excited! These are lovely!
I like the selection of plants that you have shown. I am going to have go to the garden center and see what is available. Thanks for sharing!
I love Anna’s Magic Ball. Just the size I need however it would get the afternoon sun in mid-Georgia. Would it work?
I love these selections! Thank you for sharing!
We s as re at Band OR. What plants should we buy for cover all year’s round? Thanks & repeal Rabbits and dears . They live in our back yards
Thanks for introducing me to some plants I didn't know about! I'm very interested in the Berry Poppins and the Gin Fizz Juniper!
Loved looking at the new plants & I can't tell the difference between Russell & Cheddar unless the camera shows Russell's toes !!!!!!
Hi Laura. Planning to design a new garden and was curious to know how fluffy did? I worry about the snow deforming them. My sky rocket blue pines could never recover, and after reaching ten feet, I had to toss from the front, so sad. I do have the Anna’s and sure have enjoyed them! 😊 TIA!
They all seem like such great fall plants!! Thank you so much for sharing Laura! Your house always looks stunning!!💖💖
Thanks for the videos....my hubby and I are loving them.
But Laura...Berry Poppins are red. 😁
