A lot of people wish for fancy houses or luxurious trips to exotic places, but I dream of going to a great garden center and buying whatever I want and however many I want.
🪴I just love watching the B-Family on Sunday morning with coffee. I had to leave my home and garden two years ago, but I still think about ‘what I can do today in the yard’ each day when I wake up! So I live thru Laura et al and dream on...thank you for that gardening friends 🧚🏻💚🌳🌼
Yeah me too. Actually going to make a 4 and a half hour trrip. (Girls nite out with a friend) to Lauras moms garden center. Can't wait to see all they have.
I just wanted to tell you this for the longest time Laura: Your family warms my heart. I look up to you so much, I've been watching you guys since 2019 and to see how you grow together and share your love and passion with us just brings joy tears to my eyes. You seem like such a kind hearted person, I can tell even by how the cats always follow you around when filming because you have this great, soothing aura! I wish you all the best for the future and honestly I can't wait to see how the new property will look like one to two years from now! I am so greatful we get to experience that with you guys! Thank you for coming to my TedTalk 😂
I feel exactly the same way, you described this so well. I discovered Laura & Aaron, and Garden Answer in 2020 during quarantine and the 1st wave of the pandemic, and it wouldn't be an overstatement to say that she, her amazing personality with her inspiring passion, and all the videos were a real mental lifesaver for me... I had liked gardening before but thanks to Laura, last year it became my true passion and it makes me excited every single day. It means something to look for. I'm in the middle of collecting about 150 new plants to plant in my garden, have the plans to redo landscaping a bit, only by myself with my own two hands. There's a saying, which is something like this: "Anyone whom seeks happiness, should become a gardener."
Curious.. are linton roses and heliobores the same thing? With the hydrangeas we unevenly add lime to our acidic soil to create an intense tie-dye look.
@@lisasantoro882 A friend last year gave us linton rose starts with yellow blooms and green leaves that looked like peony leaves. They died back in our warmer southern winter but are back with a vengeance this year. I had put in a couple of helobores the the year before that provide winter interest. They had almost maroon foliage and pale green blooms. Then I purchased what looked like Laura showed but it said Linton Rose. The three types were so diverse, I was unsure.. all that to say, thanks for the clarification!
My goal in life is to find a husband who walks into a garden center entrance and says things like “ooh we should have more forsythia for early spring display” and “oh we should try those dwarf birch, I didn’t know they existed” and “so what are we gonna get?” Cause that is the kind of person I want to spend the most time with!!!! AARON IS THE GOAT!!!!! 💙💚💛🧡 You guys and your whole family are such wonderful people!!
I love how involved Aaron is now, even picking out the hydrangeas! Laura is rubbing off on him in the best way! Also, Benjamin is just the cutest thing!
Your ability to identify plants at a glance and know the real name is enviable. I think it's what initially drew me to your channel. I've learned tons from you. Thanks.
I say that in almost every store I visit! I’ve finally gotten my local grocery store to start keeping a few carts at the back of the store for people like me!!
I love Laura’s enthusiasm for planting and always rearranging their garden areas. She surely is not alone in wanting to plant something, anything. I live in zone 8!on the east coast. I am currently watching nighttime temps for warming days. Happy planting all. Loved all the plants!
Good morning Laura, Aaron and Benjamin from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🌞 I've been watching you since May of 2016. Along the way I noticed one thing you've learned and taught me, too. You just said it, Maybe I didn't plant it in the right spot or it didn't get enough...." "Maybe I'll try it again!" I'm 70, gardening since I was 20, retired florist. And hearing you said that you are going to "try again" is excellent advice for any new or old gardener. I used to get plants one shot to thrive or be stricken from my "I love it" list. Over the past few years I've learned that perhaps I need to try a 2nd or 3rd time. It isn't always my fault and it isn't always the seed or plant's fault. Try and try again! Brilliant philosophy and delivered without judgment!💕 Happy Sunday and happy Gardening 😊👩🌾🌻👍
I just bought my first two hellebores!!! AND a Korean Lilac lollipop!! I finally feel as though I am participating in the journey!! I am tickled to death that spring has sprung!!! Many thanks for all the inspiration. Zone 7A.
Laura’s mother’s face - concerned Laura is going to wipe out the nursery before the public has a chance to shop and arrive disappointed they are not able to purchase the plants on their wish list. 😄
Benjamin is just ornery enough to be totally adorable!! Laura...I should have grabbed a cart... the heck with a cart... we'll grab a TRUCK!!! Aaron... OK!! LOL I think Laura single handily keeps her parents garden center in the black!! But everything is sooooooo beautiful!! SPRING FEVER is upon us!!!!!
I have a half dozen new plants in my garden. I keep the tags on them so I can remember their names. Meanwhile, Laura goes through the garden center rattling off the names of dozens of plant. She’s so impressive!!!! TY for the tour of the beautiful garden center!! 🌸 🌺 🌲 🌳😀
Oh yes, the forsythia is beautiful. I am doing kind of a project of some kind, and that is planting all the plants that my grandma used to have in her garden. My first flowers ever that I planted was with her, I made my first gardening steps with her, and she had loads of forsythia. Last spring I planted forsythia alongside the back side of my fence, just like she had it. 🙂
I have a corner of yard that unintentionally ended up being an homage to my deceased MIL. We got a couple yard ornaments when cleaning out her yard and all the plants are like she had in her yard.
What a HAPPY video today! How many people actually smiled the entire time? LOL......Laura smiled the entire time = just like it was CHRISTmas morning! All the plants were wonderful....I was actually talking to the computer: "buy that one Laura!" I LoVE those Trees................and what a JOY to hear her already planning CHRISTmas lights!
Beautiful!!! I love your parents GC. Going down to any garden center right now is like going to Disney Land, it’s magical. 😆 There’s just so much beautiful things this time of year. I’m literally at our local nurseries every few days. 😍
I am in Traverse City. MI. This weekend has been beautiful. Mid 50's. Sun shining. Last Monday, I came downstairs to snow blanket over everything. Just after great sunny weather & warmer temps, the previous week.. This is Northern Michigan. We are not safe, weather wise well into April. I will not even start looking at Garden Centers until just before Mothers Day. Last year, with covid greenhouses were sold out very quickly, some closed completely due to covid, because lack of supplier. Sad. I hope it turns around this year
We would see the smoke from the train and rush to the nearest intersection in our small hometown so our son could watch the old steam train roll by, he loved it and the look on his face was similar to Benjamin’s sweet smile. Our “buddy” as his Dad still calls him, is 35 and 6’3” and can remember the trains. Enjoy these days, they are so precious. 💗
Sunday with our extended family in Oregon!!! Love seeing Laura get so excited about plants & trees!! Even Aaron gets happy with this shopping trip. And Benjamin just loves hanging out with Nana at the Garden Center all day!!! Thank you for continuing to keep me inspired just by posting your videos - It’s truly CONTAGIOUS & INSPIRING for me! ❤️☀️🌲🌳🌸🌹Happy Spring!!
Your comment in the end “I’m in good company” referring to buying so much when we still have so much on the to-do list made me laugh. You are so real and it’s one of the many reasons I just love watching your videos. It was like a friend saying that AND yes, you are in good company!! ❤️ happy planting
what is a "honeyberry"? Have not heard of that before. Is Aaron planning on a treehouse someplace for the kids??? Would be fun.... watching Benjamin help build one would be fun. Watching you pick out plants I just can't wait to start this year.....Thank you for all your encouragement.
A Honneyberry is kinda like a blueberry. But instead of having round berries, they have skinny elongated ones. They taste a lot like a blueberry too, just maybe a bit sweeter.
Would love to see you plant the Cityline Mars hydrangeas in a pot with soil acidifier and one in the landscape without acidifier! Best of both worlds 😁
Before anyone asks them; Samantha Grace is fine. Cheddar and Russell are keeping an eye on her 🐱🐱 I loved that grouping of those skinny evergreens. And that birdbath definitely would be a beautiful addition somewhere around. You all should go back and grab her 😄
@@rebecca6017 I am going to have to go back and rewatch this video. I didn't catch the name of them. I think they are something really beautiful to add to a property. I wonder how they would do in Northeast PA?
I am just like that when I go flower shopping. Love to shop for flowers, can't wait till next spring to get some perennials and do my flower beds. Moved into my new home and I have to start from scratch but it is a small yard.
I just opened up my notes on my phone and started making a list 🤣🤣🤣 I love videos like this because I find out names of things I see but have no clue what they are.
Tell Benjamin the the backwards locomotive on the rear of the train is a distributed power unit or DPU. It is radio controlled from the engine at the front of the train. The use of mid-train or rear DPUs allow for longer and heavier trains especially on the grades of the Blue Mountains. They can face any direction thanks to the software used to control them even if it looks silly. Thank you for all the work you put in on your videos!
What a treat! So nice to see all the plants and I agree it is going to be another huge gardening year. Plus...your Mom is one of my favorite people. She is always happy and smiling.
I watch the ads at the beginning and skip those in between. Then I always let the ending ads play while I read the comments. And today, a little bonus😜. Nice.
I watch most of your videos with my morning coffee. The excitement in your voice today is more push for me than my caffeine!! Already a boost for my day!! I’m about to look for the “dying” tree!! I wintered over some plants in the garage and they “looked dead” and the daughter’s boyfriend wanted to toss them!! Of course my daughter yelled at him saying NO ONE TOUCHES MOMS PLANTS!! I need that “dying” tree because I love unusual things but I also would be able to pick on boyfriend all year!!! (You are now an official heirloom in my family, daughters watch and now my almost 3 year old grandson watches !)
I love seeing you at the garden center. You went from ,"I should have gotten a cart,... to Aaron get the truck." lol Sweet Benjamin wants to hang out longer. Love you all. Love the excitement.
I love the nursery tour, it's so exciting, I'm still learning and it's so helpful. Also fun to have Benjamin along playing and talking, such a little blessing and your mom is lovely.
Please feel free to go through every plant! I just ordered a concrete planter from your mom - I couldn’t find a thing locally. I’m very grateful she is willing to ship! Thank you so much Susan😊 I’ll be shopping again soon from afar...can’t go wrong - everything is lovely at Andrews!
New Gardner in Ohio: it is so nice to see how exciting to see both Aaron and Laura spring shopping for plants, it make want to visit our local garden center for new things.
Don’t forget to check your hardiness zone so you have a general idea about when your last frost can occur. I usually wait about 2 weeks after the date just in case.
I just love how Laura just drives the forklift with such ez. Then she just man handles the trees on to the pallets. It must be all the excitement of seeing all the new plants. Which we had a nursery like Andersen that cared of variety of plants.
We got our first big load this past week in NW Mississippi Four Seasons Garden Center. Spring has officially arrived 🙏🙌🏼!! Things are going faster than we can get them displayed out for shopping! Happy Spring everyone!
It is SO satisfying to watch you on a buying spree at your parent’s garden center! Almost as good as being on one myself. Much easier on my pocketbook, that’s for sure! So enjoyable. Thanks for taking us along.
Benjamin is sooooooooo cute !! And he is talking so well !! I wish my garden center had the selection yours does 😳😍💐🌿 girl power 💥 for handling that forklift like a boss 💪🏻
Benjamin is speaking so well for his age...full conversations-Love it, and when he was put in the truck, his feet landed and sounded just like Laura’s💕 Loved everything about the video!
I love watching you ‘add more plants’ 😜 and you make me so excited to get out there and get things done! You’re such an encouragement to this 70 year old gardener. ❤️
Am I the only one that loves when you tell us where baby Ava Grace is? After watching your videos, y'all feel almost like family so I'm always curious even though it's absolutely none of my business :) Love seeing all the goodies at the garden center, makes me want to go to my local nurseries and shop!!! Thanks for enabling!
Laura, my mother was a prolific gardener as are three of my four sisters. I am the last of five girls and I don’t know anything about gardening. But you have inspired me to go out and look at my local nursery and start to imagine. I’m nervous about what I’m doing even though it’s on a very small scale. I’ve only been watching your channel for less than two weeks and I think I’ve seen all the videos at least twice. I am in zone 7B, the upstate of South Carolina. My biggest challenge is the clay soil in this area. But I am working with a very small yard so I think I’ll be able to incorporate manure pearl light and vermiculite into small planting areas. I am most excited about planting a cardinal vine I think it’s also known as a cypress fine. It attracts hummingbirds and will crawl and creep up anything. I also am going to be germinating some coleus to go underneath my maple tree. I am pretty nervous about what I’m doing so I’m going to try your water jug method starting the coleus in the jugs and then transplanting them into the prepared soil under the maple tree. I have to tell you I’ve never thought about gardening or planting anything in this much depth because I’m just nervous about failing and had wasted money on a project. So let me finish by saying I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing everything that you have in your heart it’s contagious! Send good vibes to South Carolina. Blessings to you and your family.🌹🌷🌼🌻🌸🌺
Gardening is the equivalent of being a lifetime student...gauge your success by how much you learn by doing/trying, as how much blooms, etc. Master gardeners still have challenges on some level every year.
I love when you take us to your folk's garden center!! I can't wait til my garden center fills up with plants!!! I am getting ideas watching you show us the different plants! Right now I am waiting to see what survived our winter! I also had rabbits when there was snow looking for food! As soon as I saw them I quickly put repellent out! But they got to a few of my plants!😕 Benjamin is so cute! I agree with Benjamin, I would stay at the garden center too! I am making my list now to go back to my garden center when this year's plants start appearing!!!! I love all the plants & pine trees you brought home, anxious to see them planted!!! 😍🚂🚃🌿🌸🌼🌷💚
Hahahaaaa I was sooo shocked when you left those yellow pansie’s looking a lil bare😂 I thought “wow, Laura is restraining herself” I absolutely love love love seeing your videos❤️🙏🏼 God Bless
My family would love Benjamin! 💜 My Dad retired from Union Pacific railroad after 40+years AND my niece is an engineer for Union Pacific railroad now. 😊
Perfect video. Love Benjamin’s faces in the camera.🤪 I never realize you’re truck bed was short. Mum’s looking great. So exciting. Thank you so very much for taking us along. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I watch your vidjas with my girlfriend. She gets a lot of ideas for our yard from your channel, and today I actually learned something as well. For decades I’ve lowered my tailgate gingerly as I usually just own one or two trucks at a time and I need them to last. Then I saw A-aron let his tailgate free fall and slam open. I’ve wasted SO much time. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, this was so much fun!! Your energy is infectious, and it is so amusing to hear you say, "oh, I don't have one of these", and shocking to hear you say, "I've never heard of this one!" :) Heck with the cart, just pull up the truck, ever mindful of Mom's reprimand :) How I wish I had a sum of money that would make it worth your while (and your precious time) for you to look at my little (so hot and without shade) rental yard.
I have to keep telling myself “Laura does this for a living-it’s her job” because I have so much plant buying envy😆! So fun watching you looking at plant varieties and buying. You even let Aaron pick out something 🙃. 😊
Benjamin is too cute. He was having so much fun and so was mom. So much going on. Can’t wait to see it all in a couple of years. You know we/I forget your garden doesn’t last during the winter. Everything looks so empty, BUT. Not for long
Don't you just crack up at how excited we get to plant something, anything, this time of year? I have all kinds of plans to expand flowerbeds, put in a flagstone patio with pergola, (Hmm, plant a Virginia creeper or American wisteria at the base?) place drip irrigation, not to mention planting all of my pots! I've taken out some things that were overgrown, (I have a small suburban lot) removed things that don't perform or don't give me joy (not many) and am dreaming of evergreens, topiaries, and Japanese maples. Love to see the same excitement in you when browsing the garden center! Thank you for sharing the fun, the plans and the joy!
Laura, how I wish you could come to our house and redo our front. I love watching Benjamin and it’s so cute and sweet to hear him having a conversation with you. I love your parents nursery and all the plants are just beautiful. So glad I got to enjoy this video in the morning and a cup of coffee. What’s better way to start my morning!!❤️🌸🌼🥰🌿🪴
Yes, Laura (and Aaron) you are NOT alone !!! Things are bustin' out all over down here in the South (Atlanta) ... so tempting to get out and plant, but we must control ourselves and wait just a couple more weeks, if possible - hahaha !!! It's a great time to go shopping and prepare ourselves for the glories of a summer garden !!! thanks for taking us all along on your great adventure !!
It must be springtime excitement for planting because I too am buying new plants even before I have already planted the ones I already have at home! I feel you Laura.
A lot of people wish for fancy houses or luxurious trips to exotic places, but I dream of going to a great garden center and buying whatever I want and however many I want.

Was anyone else cheering Laura and Aaron on to buy buy buy?? Such silent enablers 😆 💗🌸💗
Benjamin is focused on the important things - family swing time and puddles - I like the way he thinks 🥰
I just wanted to tell you this for the longest time Laura:

Honeyberry is a haspcap. Superhardy. I find they are more bitter/sour then blueberry.
I thought I was the only one that didn't know what they were... Glad I'm not. 😁
@@meldog7925 you're not, I was scrolling through comments hoping somebody asked!
Honeyberry's are really early producers and in general they produce a lot of small elongated berries. Very Yummy :^)

YES to more tree planting videos!! Those are my most satisfying ones. Thanks For your great content and effort to record for us!
Before anyone asks them; Samantha Grace is fine. Cheddar and Russell are keeping an eye on her 🐱🐱
I loved that grouping of those skinny evergreens. And that birdbath definitely would be a beautiful addition somewhere around. You all should go back and grab her 😄
Yes I agree. Groupings look so nice. I hope she goes back to get them.
@@rebecca6017 I am going to have to go back and rewatch this video. I didn't catch the name of them. I think they are something really beautiful to add to a property. I wonder how they would do in Northeast PA?
I am just like that when I go flower shopping. Love to shop for flowers, can't wait till next spring to get some perennials and do my flower beds. Moved into my new home and I have to start from scratch but it is a small yard.
Garden Answer Laura, I love how you went from a “Ewe” for the muddy puddle right into “Ooooo topiaries!” So Laura! 💕 🌳
I just opened up my notes on
my phone and started making a list 🤣🤣🤣 I love videos like this because I find out names of things I see but have no clue what they are.
Lol me too! 😅
I always love these videos I like to see what at your mamas and daddy’s garden shop.
"That is too much dirt!" So Laura! She always makes me smile. 😀
Tell Benjamin the the backwards locomotive on the rear of the train is a distributed power unit or DPU. It is radio controlled from the engine at the front of the train. The use of mid-train or rear DPUs allow for longer and heavier trains especially on the grades of the Blue Mountains. They can face any direction thanks to the software used to control them even if it looks silly. Thank you for all the work you put in on your videos!
What a treat! So nice to see all the plants and I agree it is going to be another huge gardening year. Plus...your Mom is one of my favorite people. She is always happy and smiling.
Who needs a basket when you have a truck! Great idea Laura!
I watch the ads at the beginning and skip those in between. Then I always let the ending ads play while I read the comments. And today, a little bonus😜. Nice.
Aaron is the very best husband, what a awesome family. That Benjamin is a sweet boy.
I love your shopping days it’s like Christmas 😁
I watch most of your videos with my morning coffee. The excitement in your voice today is more push for me than my caffeine!! Already a boost for my day!!
I’m about to look for the “dying” tree!! I wintered over some plants in the garage and they “looked dead” and the daughter’s boyfriend wanted to toss them!! Of course my daughter yelled at him saying NO ONE TOUCHES MOMS PLANTS!! I need that “dying” tree because I love unusual things but I also would be able to pick on boyfriend all year!!! (You are now an official heirloom in my family, daughters watch and now my almost 3 year old grandson watches !)
I love seeing you at the garden center. You went from ,"I should have gotten a cart,... to Aaron get the truck." lol Sweet Benjamin wants to hang out longer. Love you all. Love the excitement.
I love the nursery tour, it's so exciting, I'm still learning and it's so helpful. Also fun to have Benjamin along playing and talking, such a little blessing and your mom is lovely.
You guys know me....I can’t see bare dirt! 🤣 💚
So true!! 😍
"They're beautiful, I love 'um." One of my fav things Laura says lol always so positive and happy.
Please feel free to go through every plant! I just ordered a concrete planter from your mom - I couldn’t find a thing locally. I’m very grateful she is willing to ship! Thank you so much Susan😊 I’ll be shopping again soon from afar...can’t go wrong - everything is lovely at Andrews!
New Gardner in Ohio: it is so nice to see how exciting to see both Aaron and Laura spring shopping for plants, it make want to visit our local garden center for new things.
Don’t forget to check your hardiness zone so you have a general idea about when your last frost can occur. I usually wait about 2 weeks after the date just in case.
Same.
Oh my gosh how sweet is your boy
I just love how Laura just drives the forklift with such ez. Then she just man handles the trees on to the pallets. It must be all the excitement of seeing all the new plants. Which we had a nursery like Andersen that cared of variety of plants.
I’m overwhelmed.
We got our first big load this past week in NW Mississippi Four Seasons Garden Center. Spring has officially arrived 🙏🙌🏼!! Things are going faster than we can get them displayed out for shopping! Happy Spring everyone!
My new favorite RUclips channel. Such an inspiration to go work In my yard.
It is SO satisfying to watch you on a buying spree at your parent’s garden center! Almost as good as being on one myself. Much easier on my pocketbook, that’s for sure! So enjoyable. Thanks for taking us along.
Omg, I just love watching Laura go thru the garden center. So fun!!!
Benjamin is sooooooooo cute !! And he is talking so well !! I wish my garden center had the selection yours does 😳😍💐🌿 girl power 💥 for handling that forklift like a boss 💪🏻
Laura, any video with Benjamin in are the best ones. Can't wait to see more of Samantha Grace too! Thanks for sharing your family with us.
You’re right honey... you’re not alone. 🙋🏼♀️ I’ve got plants sitting everywhere. 💁🏼♀️
Benjamin is speaking so well for his age...full conversations-Love it, and when he was put in the truck, his feet landed and sounded just like Laura’s💕 Loved everything about the video!
I love watching you ‘add more plants’ 😜 and you make me so excited to get out there and get things done! You’re such an encouragement to this 70 year old gardener. ❤️
Am I the only one that loves when you tell us where baby Ava Grace is? After watching your videos, y'all feel almost like family so I'm always curious even though it's absolutely none of my business :) Love seeing all the goodies at the garden center, makes me want to go to my local nurseries and shop!!! Thanks for enabling!
Laura, my mother was a prolific gardener as are three of my four sisters. I am the last of five girls and I don’t know anything about gardening. But you have inspired me to go out and look at my local nursery and start to imagine. I’m nervous about what I’m doing even though it’s on a very small scale. I’ve only been watching your channel for less than two weeks and I think I’ve seen all the videos at least twice. I am in zone 7B, the upstate of South Carolina. My biggest challenge is the clay soil in this area. But I am working with a very small yard so I think I’ll be able to incorporate manure pearl light and vermiculite into small planting areas. I am most excited about planting a cardinal vine I think it’s also known as a cypress fine. It attracts hummingbirds and will crawl and creep up anything. I also am going to be germinating some coleus to go underneath my maple tree. I am pretty nervous about what I’m doing so I’m going to try your water jug method starting the coleus in the jugs and then transplanting them into the prepared soil under the maple tree. I have to tell you I’ve never thought about gardening or planting anything in this much depth because I’m just nervous about failing and had wasted money on a project. So let me finish by saying I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing everything that you have in your heart it’s contagious! Send good vibes to South Carolina. Blessings to you and your family.🌹🌷🌼🌻🌸🌺
Gardening is the equivalent of being a lifetime student...gauge your success by how much you learn by doing/trying, as how much blooms, etc. Master gardeners still have challenges on some level every year.
I love when you take us to your folk's garden center!! I can't wait til my garden center fills up with plants!!! I am getting ideas watching you show us the different plants! Right now I am waiting to see what survived our winter! I also had rabbits when there was snow looking for food! As soon as I saw them I quickly put repellent out! But they got to a few of my plants!😕 Benjamin is so cute! I agree with Benjamin, I would stay at the garden center too! I am making my list now to go back to my garden center when this year's plants start appearing!!!! I love all the plants & pine trees you brought home, anxious to see them planted!!! 😍🚂🚃🌿🌸🌼🌷💚
Yes to forsythia! Their foliage is really sturdy and pretty in cut flower arrangements in the summer too!!
Good haul. I'm thrilled my local garden center has pansies. 🌻💕🌻💕 Benjamin is such a joy. Bless him.
Hahahaaaa I was sooo shocked when you left those yellow pansie’s looking a lil bare😂 I thought “wow, Laura is restraining herself” I absolutely love love love seeing your videos❤️🙏🏼 God Bless
I was too! I figured it wouldn't be too long before something else got tucked in there.
I thot she'd be back to fill them in. I actually thot that's not like her!! 😂
My family would love Benjamin! 💜 My Dad retired from Union Pacific railroad after 40+years AND my niece is an engineer for Union Pacific railroad now. 😊
Perfect video. Love Benjamin’s faces in the camera.🤪 I never realize you’re truck bed was short. Mum’s looking great. So exciting. Thank you so very much for taking us along. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I watch your vidjas with my girlfriend. She gets a lot of ideas for our yard from your channel, and today I actually learned something as well. For decades I’ve lowered my tailgate gingerly as I usually just own one or two trucks at a time and I need them to last. Then I saw A-aron let his tailgate free fall and slam open.
I’ve wasted SO much time. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, this was so much fun!! Your energy is infectious, and it is so amusing to hear you say, "oh, I don't have one of these", and shocking to hear you say, "I've never heard of this one!" :)
Heck with the cart, just pull up the truck, ever mindful of Mom's reprimand :) How I wish I had a sum of money that would make it worth your while (and your precious time) for you to look at my little (so hot and without shade) rental yard.
I love the visits to your parent’s garden center! The selection is fabulous!
And by all means, please go plant by plant!
I have to keep telling myself “Laura does this for a living-it’s her job” because I have so much plant buying envy😆! So fun watching you looking at plant varieties and buying. You even let Aaron pick out something 🙃. 😊
Benjamin is too cute. He was having so much fun and so was mom. So much going on. Can’t wait to see it all in a couple of years. You know we/I forget your garden doesn’t last during the winter. Everything looks so empty, BUT. Not for long
I loved this video! Thank you for (not) going plant to plant, so I could see things I’ve never seen before! And Benjamin just gets cuter and cuter! ❤️
I better get down there! Laura gives me preview before I go down!
Don't you just crack up at how excited we get to plant something, anything, this time of year? I have all kinds of plans to expand flowerbeds, put in a flagstone patio with pergola, (Hmm, plant a Virginia creeper or American wisteria at the base?) place drip irrigation, not to mention planting all of my pots! I've taken out some things that were overgrown, (I have a small suburban lot) removed things that don't perform or don't give me joy (not many) and am dreaming of evergreens, topiaries, and Japanese maples. Love to see the same excitement in you when browsing the garden center! Thank you for sharing the fun, the plans and the joy!
Yay!!!!! The garden center is getting full!!! Can’t wait to see these trees grow!!! So much inspiration for us!!!
You’re like a ballerina with that bobcat. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, Benjamin is so cute!
You are definitely not alone Laura!!! I spent all day in my yard today planting whatever I could and cleaning my chicken coop!
Laura, how I wish you could come to our house and redo our front. I love watching Benjamin and it’s so cute and sweet to hear him having a conversation with you. I love your parents nursery and all the plants are just beautiful. So glad I got to enjoy this video in the morning and a cup of coffee. What’s better way to start my morning!!❤️🌸🌼🥰🌿🪴
Yes, Laura (and Aaron) you are NOT alone !!! Things are bustin' out all over down here in the South (Atlanta) ... so tempting to get out and plant, but we must control ourselves and wait just a couple more weeks, if possible - hahaha !!! It's a great time to go shopping and prepare ourselves for the glories of a summer garden !!! thanks for taking us all along on your great adventure !!
I filled up my SUV yesterday at two different garden centers. Can’t wait to get them all planted! Thanks for more inspiration ❤️😉
It must be springtime excitement for planting because I too am buying new plants even before I have already planted the ones I already have at home! I feel you Laura.
Andrew’s No#1 Customer right here!!!! Beautiful shrubs and trees. Love the pansies. 🍀🌿💚❤️
