Not only do you have possibly the greenest thumb of anyone I know, but your eye for garden design and aesthetics is fabulous. Your garden remains my "dream garden."
Wow, Ann! Thank you so very much for the wonderful compliment. I sure do appreciate it, and all of the kind feedback you always generously share with me. It truly helps. I’m always a bit nervous to share on here, but comments and kindness like this give me great encouragement. Thank you! 💜
Every time you do a garden video, your garden gets more beautiful.
I love the new additions to your garden! I couldn’t agree more in using plants from family and friends. I have plants from my grandma, mom, and aunt and they mean so much to me!😊💐😊
That’s the best feeling! Makes me feel like they are here. 😃💜 thank you for watching and your kind comments!
Thank you for showing a great example of how to use an arbor, highlighting an entrance, creating a sense of intrigue and defining a garden room, something that can only be done with an arbor when there is a fence or wall blocking other access to the area. (Can you tell I’m not a fan of free-floating arbors?)
😃 Thank you Erin! I had a lot of fun making this area and also, not a big fan of the random floating arbor. Always makes me feel like it was a pop up prop for prom photos. 🤣

Beautiful ! Thanks For Singing Along !
Your garden is stunning!! I love the fence panels defining the space between your greenhouse and potting shed! Just perfect! 🌼
Laura,
So lovely! Especially love the raised Agapanthus in the urn--such a creative use of the wreath! ❤😊
Thank you so much for sharing all the beautiful Ray beds for your kitchen garden. Your husband had a wonderful job putting them together.
Best part of the garden you can change it all the time is that not right we can make it look one way one year and another way another year love your fence your beautiful plans and of course that gorgeous greenhouse. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Love the urn idea,just beautiful! The new design for the veggie garden looks great…and I always love a picket fence😊 your garden is always changing,I love all the different sections in your yard and your videos are always helpful,inspiring and fun😊
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful garden with us. It is just breathtakingly beautiful garden thank you so much for sharing it with us
Laura, I love the new flow of the garden. This feels like the perfect combination!
Thank you so very much Donna! Your help and feedback is always incredibly helpful to me. No more thong! 🤣
I can’t get enough of your charming garden! I love your fun personality and your approach to your space.
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate it! 😃💜😃💜
Memory plants are so special. 🇦🇺🇦🇺 cheers Bronwyn
Greeting's from Ireland, great video and beautiful garden, We have to wait another month before our agapanthus's start to bloom But the buds are showing which is great. I love sage caradona and have a few in different flower bed's and the bee's love them. There's noting like a cup of coffee first thing in the morning and hearing the bee's buzzing about.
You have done so much in a short time and it is just beautiful ❤️
It's like a beautiful painting 🖼 😍
Beautiful design and gorgeous selection of plants. I planted 3 indigo frost agapanthus, last spring, in a container (zone 7b, Maryland). I overwintered them in my garage and they are doing beautifully.
Oh I love to hear that Susan! So good to know. I’m wondering if I should leave them or dig and store. Hmmm. Thank you for being here and your nice comments!!
Hi Laura! Oh I just Love your new garden.your yard is Absolutely Gorgeous. The flowers you were talking about are so Beautiful. Are your Hostas Dwarf? I have been looking for a dwarf one. I have really big one's. I Love your videos. Thank you for sharing this information with us. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. Your Williamstown friend. ❤❤❤
Thank you very much! No it’s isn’t a dwarf hosta. They are over 50 years old and a small division from my parents garden. Just small now because they are newly planted. Once they age they will get bigger. 😃
Beautifully done ❤❤!!
I have a garden with plants from my mom and two aunts plus some of their beautiful pots. I call it Three Sisters Garden, very special to me❤❤.
Last year I added the same agapanthus to my garden, 8a Atlanta, in pots and it returned and is starting to bloom again this year; it bloomed until frost!
You have one of my favorite gardens I follow and I look forward to your wonderful videos! Thank you for sharing ❤
Incredibly kind of you! Thank you! 😃💜
Hi! Great addition to your garden. I am working on creating rooms in my garden as well. It really helps to have defined areas to create interest and make your yard feel bigger by not seeing it all at once.
What a fabulous redesign of your garden! I loved the look you previously had but THIS is stunning. And with the explanations you shared for why you wanted/needed a change, it makes total sense. I love blue flowers, too (they were my sweet Momma’s favorite) and I am afraid I am becoming obsessed with Agapanthus; I have six varieties, the newest acquisition being Indigo Frost with Black Pantha enroute to me at this moment! I’m in zone 6b/7a and I have gladiolus, elephant ears and cannas that survive my central KY winters so I’m going to take a chance on the Agapanthus coming back, too. 🤞🏻💙🤍💜🤞🏻
Hi Laura! Everything looks so charming!!! I love it! Hugs! :)
Thank you so much Linda!! 💜
I love your space! This is my new dream garden!
😃💜
its prefect i love it. I want picket fence!! That looks so good. i like the arch, it doesn't take away from the garden. im planning a veggie garden with black picket fence like Garden Answer. Those are some beautiful new plants!
So many special things in your garden, it looks so beautiful. One of my favorite garden to follow.
This makes me so happy. Thank you! 💜 I truly appreciate your encouragement.
Just gorgeous!
I love having “pass-along plants” in the garden from family and friends, and, in turn, sharing divisions with them.
The best feeling. 😃💜
Oh wow - it´s beautiful! The fence, the plants - e v e r y t h i n g! Now you got me thinking: Where can I put such a sweet fence? 😅 The weather in Germany is not great at all - so I´m only out there to hunt for slugs. 🙄 Have a great day! 💕
Thank you Joy! 😃 oh no. I actually saw a couple slugs in this area the other day after we had a lot of rain. Hope you get them all! Happy gardening!! 💜
So very Beatrix Potter!! I adore this area 😍
Ahhhh. Love this! Thank you! 💜 I definitely have a thing for Beatrix Potter. My favorite books as a child.
Your garden is looking so gorgeous!
So beautiful.
Your garden is looking beautiful ! I have a small picket fence leading to my cottage garden and it definitely is one of my favorite things!
Thanks so much Susan! Isn’t it fun? I feel happy planting and being around this little picket area. 😃💜
WOW !! YARD AND GARDEN EYE CANDY !! 😊
It really does look great.
I am a new subscriber. I enjoyed your video today. You have some great ideas and I like that you tell people about making sure they don’t box themselves in and leaving enough room to move around.
Thanks so much for subscribing! That’s such an important thing I learned the hard way. Definitely best to have access from all areas. 💜
Nice to see you Laura, the changes you have made are looking lovely
Thanks so much for watching Denise! I appreciate you being here! Hope you are enjoying time in your garden too. 💜😃
Looks really nice, you have a great eye…
Go it going on Girl!! Beautiful!

I love it! So beautiful 😍
Beautiful
Always beautiful !!

Lovely (and different) as always.
You are such a garden inspiration to me. Love all that you do and how you explain the evolution of your garden. Would you mind sharing a link for the new trellis?
Sooooo charming !
Thank you! 😃
Laura…beautiful, charming, and just perfect…Always love what you create👍 Hugs to our Jersey Girl
Awww it’s my dear friend Charli! I’m so glad to see you here. Big hugs to you and your hubby from your Jersey Girl xo
Hi. I love your garden, it’s simply gorgeous! Love your channel!!!!!! Looking forward to shed transformation. .
Love it!
Your garden is so beautiful!
Spent the day mowing the lawn and helping tear down a fence that fell over in a wind storm. I was injured a month and a half ago and I think I overdid it but it was worth it. I’m so far behind with planting that I feel like I’m constantly playing catch up.
Gorgeous! 💜
Thank you Terri! 😃
Your gardens are so charming. I'm happy for you that you're able to enjoy yourself this Spring and thought it was a wonderful idea that you're getting some help with the shed.
Laura, thank you so much for sharing this! What a wonderful design and execution of this new area. Looking forward to a walk thru of all of the gardens!!
Thank you so much! 😃😃😃
Love the addition of the picket fence panels and new plants!! Everything looks so good! 😍
Thank you so much! 💜
I so enjoy your videos
Thank you very much for saying so. I appreciate you being here. 💜
Beautiful space! It looks like it was always meant to be there. Love it!
Laura, what a lovely garden! All your old timey flowers and all the rest, I love! Your new area just reminds me of my grandparent’s gardens. I enjoy watching you here and on Instagram. Watching you from Washington State.🌲
Hi Linda! Oh well this comment made my day! 💜😃 thank you so much for the smile. Best compliment! Hope you have a beautiful day, and I appreciate you being here and instagram so much! Thank you!
I love the new fence! Your garden is also pretty and it’s fun seeing your redesigns. Thank you!
Thanks so much!! 💜
Just love your garden, so inspiring. Everything is beautiful! Can you share where the rusty arbor can be purchased? Thank you again for sharing your garden.
The new plants and the fence are so charming and beautiful! As usual I learn so much from your combinations. I know you will come up with another great plan for the beds out front.
Love it.
Thank you! 💜
So many beautiful plants and ideas. My garden is full of borrowed plants from family and friends. My grandmother’s peonies are really showing off this year. They have come with me to three different homes and gardens. Love your videos!
Thanks so much! Isn’t that just the best feeling. Feels like the people we love are with us in the garden. Makes me so happy. I bet those peonies are absolutely beautiful! 💜
The fence looks very beautiful everything looks beautiful the garden looks very beautiful what if you put some stepping stones in the entrance of the arch are you putting like a climbing rose or something that has beautiful flowers God bless your garden is beautiful😊😊
That would be beautiful and would connect to the gravel.
Loving how your garden is coming along. Thanks for posting names too. As a new gardener I'm always on the hunt for new cottage gardens ideas on RUclips. Laura Bee Gardening also one of my favorites. ❤
Thanks so much! I hope you have so much fun creating your garden! 💜
I really love the new design on your garden, it’s beautiful and I can’t wait to see it in summer!
Thanks so much! I’m really excited for it to fill in! 😃
So lovely as always💙 I love blue in the garden! What a beautiful view!
Great use of space Laura, love the transitions you created 🌱 ✨
Love, love all the additions to your garden. The urn looks amazing. I would a tutorial on how to make the living wreath!! We need a whole garden tour!!
Thank you so much!! I can do this! I actually have some footage making the wreath as well.😃💜
My 1st time watching and I am in love with your garden and I love the picket fence. That gives me a great idea for my space. Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤
Beautiful work! I'm always trying to create garden rooms. The fence and arbor are perfect for that space! Love, love, love the urn planting!
Thank you so very much! 😃💜
Love your channel and love your gardens! ❤ You are my favorite gardener to follow and I get so excited when I see that you have posted. I always am inspired and, truthfully, just a bit envious. Lol😂
Hi!!! Oh so nice of you. I’m flattered, truly. 💜 I hope you’re having a beautiful Spring!!
Looking good! You could try wintering the agapanthus in your greenhouse in pots. They are such beautiful plants. I love those white zinnia also. Well worth growing those from seed.
Thank you so much for sharing your video. I enjoyed the tour and hearing about your design process. I love your heritage hosta. Plants from loved ones are always wonderful. And agapanthus is my favorite flower. I look forward to see more videos of your garden
Love your garden Laura! Keep the videos coming.
I always wait for your videos. Kudos to your hard work and artistic taste. Please tell me where the metal arbor is from ?
I love agapanthus, I ordered some bare root white agapanthus that is suppose to be hardy in my zone 6 garden. Your garden is looking cozy as always, doesn’t really matter what you change it always looks amazing and a wonderful space to putter. Thank you for sharing.
Everything looks incredible. I’m jealous. 😊
I love the picket fence. Everything looks great. Looking forward to seeing your updates.
Thank you so much Kathy! 💜😃 happy gardening to you!!
So charming! Love the fence.
Beautiful, well done. Loved everything ❤️
Love what you did. Absolutely beautiful 🤩
Omg .just gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Laura, oh my goodness your garden looks amazing and I love the fence. Can you please tell me where you bought it. I know you live in New Jersey and I live in Massachusetts but I'm hoping you bought it at a garden center that perhaps is in both our areas. Also, do you have any suggestions on how to keep chipmunks, squirrels and mice yuck out of your garden? I've tried chicken wire but they dig underneath it and they've actually climbed into my raised garden beds and ate some of my veggies! Have a lovely day. And Happy Mother's Day. 😊 🌸
Hi my friend! I have good news on the fence. You can find it at Lowe’s, and all sorts of places. It’s by zippity. 😃
Oh boy I wish I had good suggestions. I have squirrels everywhere and they dig all over. I have used a product called repels all by bonide. It’s an organic granular that is stinky like garlic and they don’t like the smell. Hope you are doing wonderful and thank you so much for the Mother’s Day wishes. 💜😃
Thank you, my friend. I've tried sprays like that as well, but the only problem is, is that our neighbors window is so close to my veggie garden that I don't want to spray anything stinky, lol. Although I love the smell of garlic 😋. I will definitely look for the fence. Thanks again.
Love your new fence May I ask where you purchased it from ❤️ Your gardens always look amazing. Cottage gardens are so my vibe
Thanks so much! That fence is by zippity. I got it from Lowes. 💜
I just came across your channel and I love the picket fence I will try to do the same in my Texas garden zone 8B, I just planted corn and they are about a foot high they are on the other side of my garden bed, it will be great to do the fence to separate the two. thank you kindly. I love it. Yazmin
너무감동입니다. 보는시간이 행복했습니다
가끔 들러 다시 보겠습니다
유친님께 행운이 함께하길 빕니다😄😍❤
Hi from england abseloutely gorgeous can you please tell me the paint you used in your garden the white basically x
You should put up a mailbox at the entrance i thought the basket was a mailbox and it looks amazing as a mailbox from the far view ❤
Beautiful garden! I notice what looks like your Fiskars Kangaroo Garden Bag has the torn handles?......mine all have torn off😒
Thank you! Yes you nailed that! Good eye. Mine are all torn up. The metal hoop is even popping out of one.
Beautiful garden! Would you mind sharing where you got the fence? Thank you!
Thank you! It’s from lowes by zippity.
Where did you find the picket sections? Love your new garden area!❤
Thank you! That’s by Zippity and got it from Lowes. 😃
👋 just wondering where you buy the moss. Beautiful garden! Thanks!
Any craft store of Amazon. Just look for preserved sheet moss. I think the brand is mood moss.
Your garden is beautiful, Laura, and an inspiration. I do have a couple of questions. First, where did you pick up your fence panels? I’m looking for something similar to install onto the ground. Second, do you know if it came with a gate? Thank you!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it! 😃 fence panels were from Lowes online but I didn’t see a gate option. I wasn’t really looking for a gate at the time so I’m not sure. Thank you for being here!
@@HowsItGrowing Thank you! Happy gardening!
Beautiful garden ! Where did you get the white fence and the arbor arch thank you.
Thank you so much. Fence from lowes and arbor from deer park ironworks. 😃💜
First time watching your videos & new subscriber.
Maybe you said & I missed it! Where is your arbor from or name, please?
Wow, this space looks amazing…Where did you get your pickets from, I have one but I had to dig holes and it was a pain.
Thank you! 😃 these were from lowes by zippity. We did have to use a mallet to hammer down the inner poles, but it was very easy! We did it after it rained and the ground was soft and easy to go through.
@@HowsItGrowing Thank you, so much
Beautiful garden, can I tell me where u got your greenhouse and a rough price. Thx u
Thanks so much! It’s the Parkside by BC Greenhouses. They are very transparent on their website and list prices. Definitely check them out. Wonderful company and people. 😃💜
I’d love to know the name of the company that makes the fencing you used for your garden please.
Absolutely! It’s “zippity” we got it from Lowes. Great options.
Where did you get the fence panels and posts? Local to you in NJ or a box store? Thanks.
They are by zippity. 😃 I got them from Lowes but it looks like lots of places carry them.
New sub here. Watching from RI. I noticed your green house. Did you build that or purchase it? Do you have details to share?
Hello! Thank you fir being here. We did both. 😃 Ordered it as a kit from BC Greenhuses and then we assembled all of the pieces after we laid the foundation. I love it.
@HowsItGrowing Thank you for sharing. I am going to look into one for myself.
