Congratulations to all the gardeners whose side yards were featured. What an accomplishment to have your garden recognized by Laura! I was inspired by many of them. Thank you for sharing.
I love this style of content. Hearing you describe what’s working in a garden and what those plants are and including various related bits of information, that’s gold! Thank you 🙏🏻
Oh I just love before and after photos! Telling us the zoning really helps too. I'm bummed I wasn't able to submit my photos in time for this video. I had a black thumb when I started watching your videos 5 years ago and now I have over 5,000 plants! I LOVE gardening now and it's all thanks to you and your videos. I now give advice to my beginner gardener friends and recommend your channel. I tell them, "My friends Laura and Aaron say to do it this way........" lol. How you must love having so many friends that you've never met. Sometimes I put you on the TV in the background while I do other things just because I like hearing your voice. When you come start out, "Hey guys!" I reply out "Heyyyyyy!". Thank you for putting out so many videos to keep us all entertained. I was in a medical center for six months last year getting treatment (for Late-Stage Lyme disease) and wasn't able to be out in my own garden, so I lived through you everyday. Thanks to the daily visits to your channel and my chats with God I was able to get through a rough time. Thanks again and God Bless you both!--- P.S. Aaron have you ever considered adding in some devotions or positive quotes to your gorgeous garden pics on IG? The pictures are lovely and a daily devotion would be a nice extra touch to start out the day.
Lol I usually have a black thumb too! My flowers have been growing so well in my flower beds and I’m shocked! My dad put in a sprinkler system in the flower beds and I think helps a lot. Also the full sun flowers really grow great where we have ours. I love seeing our flowers bloom! And I also say Laura does this haha.
I was with you until you started talking about Laura & Aaron using their channel to push religion. It would not a very welcoming atmosphere to everyone who isn't religious or who isn't Christian. Maybe that didn't occur to you.
@@Ibis333 You are right it didn't occur to me because they are Christian and have mentioned it in a few of their videos so I figured those who follow them pretty much know that already and if they were offended by religion they probably wouldn't follow their channel. Aarons father is a Pastor. In general- not every video they put out is for everyone so I'm sure those who aren't Religious could just pass by that particular IG post if it didn't appeal to them. I wouldn't push anything on anyone. Devotions are positive and don't necessarily have to viewed as religious by everyone. I don't always like the person who says a good quote in a publication but I can still appreciate a good one when I hear it. But Thank you for your perspective. I do appreciate a different viewpoint. Take care.
@@shaunah.creations9233 It's funny isn't it? To have someone that you enjoy daily that you sort of consider a friend yet she has no idea who you are lol. I joke with my husband sometimes and say, "I'm her biggest Stalker, I mean biggest Fan!" lol (wink, wink-nudge, nudge). Thanks for the reply. Are you on IG? I'd love to see your garden pics too.
Absolutely loved this video. So many ideas swirling in my head. Bravo to the ones you featured…so glad to be a part of your “gardening” fellowship. Inspiration and Gratitude! 👏🌞🪴
I think it would be fun to have “before and after” gardens featured in a video, I know once I started watching Garden Answer my garden looks so much better! Moving into our new house is what got me hooked on Garden Answer
The rain gutters on the wall to hold succulents - genius!! I also loved the tiny fairy garden details tucked in too. I absolutely love these videos. It’s giving me so many new ideas!
Thank you! Those are mine! I am bursting with excitement to have made it on my favorite RUclips channel that I have been watching almost since the beginning! Yes the fairy garden items were a big part of those gutters. I had so much fun changing them with the seasons! 🌵💜
I love checking out other peoples gardens and being inspired to add some of the ideas to my own. How about a segment on other peoples ENTIRE garden space makeover? I could watch those all day when the days are long and cold and I’m craving color and warmth. Thanks for all you do!
Wonderful compilation from so many different growing zones. I'm in love with the fence in the German garden. What an interesting way to provide privacy at eye level and still offer the "borrowed view" of a neighbor's garden and visually expand your space. Bravo!
Fun to see every ones' side garden ideas! They were all so different. I would love to know how long it took everyone from start to finish to re-do their side yards (including you Laura!).
We love this video! So fun to see how you and Aaron started out (with Aaron's first camera!) and the Before and After of your first side yard. We are also so inspired to see everyone's garden creations. All so beautiful! We are big fans of "grow anywhere" proving you don't need a big space to create some garden magic. Well done everyone!

Laura, this video was inspirational and truly delightful! I loved seeing the creative solutions that other gardeners came up with to deal with narrow side yards. The before and after photos that some folks included were awesome. Thanks, everyone for sharing your lovely skinny side yard transformations. I can't wait for the next group of viewer submissions! ~Margie🌻💐🌾
Gmorning all,it’s so inspiring seeing all the beautiful colours and textures of the outdoors especially when everything’s looking so grey right now,ty Laura for reminding us that spring’s around the corner. ❤️🙏🇨🇦
Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 Thanks Laura and Aaron for doing this video. And thanks to everyone who submitted. You All have inspired me 💕
Wow! Home run with sharing these incredible spaces from other inspired gardeners. I don’t have a space like this but still absorbing so much inspiration! I will watch this video many times and add some of these ideas to my garden. Always room for improvements! Thanks Laura for offering these different perspectives.
Oh my gosh, I have been waiting for this video! Thank you for this! Holy moly, so many beautiful yards and ideas. I can't believe I have to get ready to go to work. I just wanna stay home and plan my garden! But I can't afford to garden if I don't go to work. lol Gonna be real hard to concentrate today while I'm dreaming of Spring!
Thank you Laura and everyone that contributed. I have a narrow side space that I’ve been dreading fixing up! I have so many ideas now! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Good morning! Have a wonderful day. Enjoyed viewing the many different side gardens. They were all so beautiful. I am getting excited to see how you evolve the rest of your gardens and especially around the Hartley.
Good morning 🪴 I love watching your videos first thing in the morning w my coffee. I am really enjoying these “idea” videos as it’s feeding my itch to be outside in my garden and giving me so many great ideas!! Thank you ❤️🌿
l love this vlog! I have learned so much from this personal one of your older home....it's personal, it shows beginning middle and end, plus all the mistakes and how they got fixed. Loved it. Thanks so much Laura. You're a true gem. And Aaron too of course, right? You two complete each other. Love it.
Laura and Aaron - this series of featuring other gardeners and all the creativity is just awesome. It’s so refreshing to see what others are doing and how to combat and beautifully overcome challenges we face in the garden. Of course I always love seeing your wonderful creativity. Hope you keep up this series. I love it!
As a homeowner who was told by a landscape designer that my small side garden was "the most inhospitable space they had ever seen) I took it as a challenge. Yes it was sloped, narrow & full sun, but I created my own garden plan, amended the soil, added a drip system & now I have a beautiful garden which people enjoy as they pass my townhome. The only issue I've had is, my garden pagoda & solar lights were stolen. Unfortunately, pretty things can attract the dark. 😐 Thank you to everyone who shared their gardens with us, I completely understand your struggles & joy ☺️💗🍁🍃🌱🌼🌺
Wow! Gazillions of ideas to chew on! The British GROW VEG vlog has a wonderful planner you can put in your dimensions & plants & even move them around!
My favorite gardening space at my house in Boise was the side yard on the east side of my house that ran south to north. It was 15 feet wide with my house on one side and arborvitae hedge between me and my neighbor. It got a varying amount of sun for 2 - 4 hours of late morning sun. I never had any plan. Just bought plants that I liked and fit them in. It ended up with hostas, bleeding heart, Japanese maple, coral bells, Russian sage, and filled in with annuals like coleus, sweet potato vines, and elephant ears.
Beautiful collection, I just got root stocks of Bleeding heart and Green Envy echinacea I got two Dicentra, one is growing well the other I planted lower to experiment. And one of my three Echinacea seems to be alive (on arrival unusually not my fault) I also just got lavandula x intermedia in a 4 inch pot, would you still recommend Russian Sage or would I be better off propagating my Grosso Lavender? I don’t know how different the texture, size, and color is in person
Beautiful gardens. Would love to get some inspiration from viewers who can plant only in containers. We have gravel and patio only and would love to see pictures of people's container gardens.
Thank you so much for this beautiful tour that we've all been waiting for!!! What a gorgeous and perfect home and gardens your parents have. They soooo deserve it and to have a wonderful family to share it with. Thanks you for sharing with us... your media family too!
What wonderful ideas! I have a couple of narrow gardening spaces and have always struggled to decide what to plant. Thanks so much to everyone for sharing their gardens and ideas!
Thank you for putting this video together! So many great ideas. I really appreciate that you chose yards from a variety of zones. I couldn’t relate to all of them but you hit on one from near where I live with very similar issues that I have. Their ideas sparked tons of ideas…now to get busy planning and then get started! Thanks to all that submitted your pictures. So very helpful!
Great video! Greetings from Victoria 🇨🇦 Our plant choices can benefit not only us, but entire ecosystem… Please don’t forget hummingbirds and all the little garden creatures… 🐞🐞🐞🐝🐝🐝🦋🦋🦋🐸🐸🐸 Happy gardening!
Thank you GA for doing these “show and tells!” I now have so many new possibilities with our “Don’t look over there” side yard. Laura, Thank you for bringing so much happiness and inspiration to us during the week. I can now say I have a passion- GARDENING! Thanks to you, your team and all the wonderful extra-curricular videos that you show us. How to use your garden in crafts, meals, decorating, charity! Inspiring you are!
Happy day. So inspiring and drives so many “I want to be plant shopping and gardening right now” emotions. The universal love of gardening sure brings us all together. Transforming some usually forgotten spaces into show stoppers is just the views I need as someone who gardens in a zone 3 and who is itching to take what I have learned and put into my own spaces. Thank you.
Enjoyed this a lot! To see real life spaces that most of us can relate to. No shade to you and your acres of land. Your space is 😍😍 but videos like this are also inspiring! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Gorgeous gardens everyone - this was such an inspiring video! I will be rewatching this one multiple times 😍 I don't have spaces this narrow but oh my goodness, everyone's plant choices and designs are fabulous.
I love these videos of submitted images!! I’m in zone 10 and it’s really fun to see what my “neighbors” are doing with their yards. Thank you for all the details you add to the video Laura, helping ID plants and more.
I love that you did this video! We have a side yard (basically a sidewalk and cyclone fence) that I had not idea what to do with it. There were so many great ideas in this video that next year I hope to submit a transformation! Thank you for sharing your narrow spaces everyone!❤️
Thank you thank you sooo much Laura. I started gardening after watching you and now I’m obsessed. I’m learning a lot didn’t even know I like gardening. Well I had a small side yard that I could not design at all. It’s full sun. I just throw seeds in the ground lol for 2 years of a bunch of mixed match. This was the only section I could not visualize. I needed this so bad. This was a brilliant idea. Oh I’m in zone 7a in NJ very good soil and growing season
Really loved this video. I love this idea of featuring viewer’s various gardens and gardening challenges. It’s so inspiring. Also, I appreciate your enthusiasm, Laura, in admiring and being inspired by other’s gardens when yours are super gorgeous and inspiring to us!
We are working with 5 ft on both sides of our house so kind of sad to see these side yards are actually “big” to us. Also, can we plant trees next to a foundation of a home with no future issues as the tree matures?
Thanks to all who contributed to this video! What amazing small spaces and it's helping me to find a garden answer for my skinny space. Thanks GA for thinking of this idea. So smart! Happy gardening!!!
Great ideas and beautiful transformations. We had a wicked snow storm last week and we lost some mature plants. These pictures give me hope and ideas for how to fix my yard in the spring.
I love these videos! Thank you! Every time I think I’m “getting it”, I realize I still have a very long way to go when it comes to our yard. The different ideas are so helpful, then with you sharing your knowledge AND design ideas, there’s no way someone could fail. Thank you so much, your videos give me peace on the daily while I get ready for a job that is no longer keeping me happy. So to wake up and hear your beautiful voice, it centers me, then once I get home from work, I start on the ideas that you’ve so thoughtfully shared. I can’t thank you enough for the daily peace! THANK YOU!!
Omgoodness! I have a plain grass skinny side yard to tackle.. and this is very inspiring! i love seeing the gardens from others that also follow Garden Answer. Gives me a warm fuzzy sense of gardening community. 😍🤗🌻🌼🌹🥀🌺
This was such a fun video! I am impressed with the talent of your viewers many, if not all, who have been inspired and encouraged by you to dream and then plant! The choices were remarkable. Being in Western Washington, I was particularly excited to see the multiple contributors from here and what they’ve done in the same zone I’m starting in! Thank you everyone for sharing your beautiful spaces with us.
I love to see your land and beautiful yard. You and your husband work hard and you have such a gift of making all the different areas look amazing!! I love your videos that show how to plant, the conditions and seeing the final outcome. Loved today's video and got excited on what I can do with a side yard that is roughly 16-18 ft wide, facing south. Still not sure what all to plant for vertical, shrubs, flowering and ground growth. I know you dont have time to read much less respond to many comments but I'm 61 and just learning so any ideas on shrubs or flowering plants would help me finally do something with that barren space. Thank you so much, God bless and always continue sharing your gifts.
THIS IS SO TOUCHING, WHY DO THESE GARDENS touch my HEART with all the feels... maybe using what you have, inspiration, being grateful, transformation, adding color and beauity. Laura/Aaron Thank You so much.
🌺Wow wow wow and kudos to all shown here, and all the others I know are out there. So fun to see gardening ideas and problem areas re-done in so many beautiful ways! Thank you all so much, and to Laura for highlighting all these creative GA followers! Well done 💐💚👏🏻
Love, love, loved this video! It gave me so many ideas for my 2 narrow side yards! Thank you Laura and Aaron for featuring other gardeners accomplishments. I look forward to seeing more in future podcasts.
I prefer the curved walkway because to me they look more relaxing. Definitely would stay away from grass paths, but then I don’t like grass. I appreciate so many of the beautiful plants that we cannot seem to grow here on hot very humid tropical south Florida, it is a big learning curve!
@@RC-mc6rc really? Wow! This is a wonderful idea! I might try to steal it and share it with my nephews! They will have fun imagining why and how it evolves with the seasons 😁
This is another video I will watch over and over again for inspiration. So many talented gardeners. Thanks to Laura and Aaron for providing the video and thanks to the gardeners who were featured.
Laura, thank you so much for videos like this- pure inspiration! I am a mother of two babies under two, but am still determined to find time to landscape 💪🏼 and your videos are a huge source of inspiration and motivation. I stumbled across Garden Answer about a year ago and I have since shared you with my mom and sister and we are all ADDICTED! You have even inspired this year’s Christmas shopping. My dad gave my mom a set of augers for her gift 😂 and my mom gave my sister and I Felco pruners and paddle wire! Of course we followed your mom’s tips and used them to make wreaths from a magnolia tree that cracked in my mom’s yard during our last hurricane! You have given the 3 of us lots of joy and one more topic to discuss non stop. Thank you to you and your beautiful family 🙏 💕 Janie LaPlante from Thibodaux, Louisiana
Thank you and everyone for sharing all these beautiful flower ideas. Can't pick just one. Please everyone continue what you're doing. And thank you Laura for doing this. Happy gardening!!!!
Hi Laura and Aaron! It was fun seeing how people dealt with their skinny side yards. Kudos to all of the people who submitted the photos that you showed. I really loved the one with the succulents in the rain gutters! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for this video and all of the beautiful photos submitted from your viewers! It has finally given me the courage to tackle my side yard that spans the length of our driveway. It is only 5ft at its widest spot and 16 inches at its most narrow. I’ve got a coal chute and a few other obstacles to contend with, but I’m looking forward to the transformation that will compliment our historic home in town.
Wow!! Love this Skinny Side Yards as well as the Container Gardens, so much inspiration!! Keep them coming please at least through the cold months, they are wonderful to look at and get such good ideas. So enjoy your channel, you brighten my day. Such warmth and love exudes from you and your family💕
This is awwwesome! So much inspiration...right now seems like all of my planting beds are in the before stage (and they're all narrow and mostly shade.) I've been overwhelmed with what plants to use. It's so nice to see such beautiful spaces, and to hear it took some people years of experimentation to get them where they are now. Thank you for putting this video together! I love seeing all of your wonderful projects and love seeing the inspired projects others have completed by watching your channel. Hopefully one day I can send in my before and after pictures!
I’ve been wanting to do something with the side yard that holds my A/C unit. Have 2 volunteer trees, that I yearly have to cut way back. Will be weed whacking the weeds and putting ground cover soon. These gardens give me many ideas to mull over. Thank you all for sharing this, and of course to Laura for posting. 😁
Wow, you're so patient with your teaching thank you miss for being an inspiration to my little garden efforts awaiting your next tutorial. Very nice garden. It looks really gorgeous. This is a very instructive video. Looking at your garden, I got a very good idea. Life is very beautiful. I have to try it. Thanks for sharing the video.👍👍👍
Thx Laura n GA Fam for creating new n fun ways to feed our grow obsessed minds when our gardens are sleeping under blankets of snow. I am visiting in AZ right now from snow covered MD n am quite in awe of a very different Winter!
I live in California 9b zone. There isn't much difference from season to season compared to other parts of the country. No snow at all. Some rain. Mild winters with very hot summers. Thanks for the great ideas!
I can’t wait to start my narrow side yard now. So so many ideas running through my head. I’m in zone 4b so will mostly be annuals. Bought the house in may of last year and it’s been so fun designing the spaces. My front yard is all garden and that is almost all done. The veggie garden was a higher priority to get done. Can’t wait for April/may so I can start gardening again.
I appreciate the great content to help change a really tough gardening area into a really sweet coffee, tea or napping spot! The zone and plant information is SUPER helpful! Thank you for doing this video compilation, Laura; I am just so excited to create my own little secret garden!
Congratulations to all the gardeners whose side yards were featured. What an accomplishment to have your garden recognized by Laura! I was inspired by many of them. Thank you for sharing.
🌸It was refreshing to see gardening zones in 🇨🇦 and other parts of the world 🌍! ♥️
Well said.
😅😅🤣🤣🤣 yr second line😅😅😆😆
I couldn’t agree more!
Thank you, Laura. You made my day.
I love this style of content. Hearing you describe what’s working in a garden and what those plants are and including various related bits of information, that’s gold! Thank you 🙏🏻

Looks like someone copied and pasted your comment right above yours. I'm seeing more and more of these bots lately. Smh.
Great comment btw.
I think it would be fun to have “before and after” gardens featured in a video, I know once I started watching Garden Answer my garden looks so much better! Moving into our new house is what got me hooked on Garden Answer
I agree
These videos are great for the winter when a lot of people are planning. Great inspiration! Lots of creative people! Beautiful ideas!
I really hope you do a segment on cottage gardens! cottage gardens are my favorite it would be so cool to see how other people design there’s.
Love that you walk us through these instead of just putting the pictures up. Really like these subject videos, great idea!
This was so fun to see some of our Garden Answer friends gardens. I loved this video. Thank you. Come on Summer time.....impatiently waiting.
love “impatiently waiting” 🥰
The rain gutters on the wall to hold succulents - genius!! I also loved the tiny fairy garden details tucked in too. I absolutely love these videos. It’s giving me so many new ideas!

I recognized the last one and sure enough it was from “Dig, Plant, Water, Repeat.” She has an excellent channel!!

Hello from Nampa...Russian Sage! I'd love to hear how to keep under control? I'll never remove the bees feed like drunkards. It's a must for them...
@@diannaslonecker4199 you can prune it and divide it
Good morning, Laura☕️ How fun! Got some great ideas 💡. Thanks so much for sharing! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Beautiful gardens. Would love to get some inspiration from viewers who can plant only in containers. We have gravel and patio only and would love to see pictures of people's container gardens.
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Hi from UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love the cramscaping at 12 minutes!
This is a lovely idea! Looking forward to more videos like this! 💜
I LOVE seeing what you did with a smaller space!!
Thank you so much for this beautiful tour that we've all been waiting for!!! What a gorgeous and perfect home and gardens your parents have. They soooo deserve it and to have a wonderful family to share it with. Thanks you for sharing with us... your media family too!
I LOVE the color of the hydrangea blue house with the cream stone!
I love the kitty appearances ♥️

I couldn’t relate to all of them but you hit on one from near where I live with very similar issues that I have. Their ideas sparked tons of ideas…now to get busy planning and then get started! Thanks to all that submitted your pictures. So very helpful!
Great video!
Greetings from Victoria 🇨🇦
Our plant choices can benefit not only us, but entire ecosystem…
Please don’t forget hummingbirds and all the little garden creatures…

Happy gardening!
Thank you GA for doing these “show and tells!” I now have so many new possibilities with our “Don’t look over there” side yard. Laura, Thank you for bringing so much happiness and inspiration to us during the week. I can now say I have a passion- GARDENING! Thanks to you, your team and all the wonderful extra-curricular videos that you show us. How to use your garden in crafts, meals, decorating, charity! Inspiring you are!
Happy day. So inspiring and drives so many “I want to be plant shopping and gardening right now” emotions. The universal love of gardening sure brings us all together. Transforming some usually forgotten spaces into show stoppers is just the views I need as someone who gardens in a zone 3 and who is itching to take what I have learned and put into my own spaces. Thank you.
Enjoyed this a lot! To see real life spaces that most of us can relate to. No shade to you and your acres of land. Your space is 😍😍 but videos like this are also inspiring! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Gorgeous gardens everyone - this was such an inspiring video! I will be rewatching this one multiple times 😍 I don't have spaces this narrow but oh my goodness, everyone's plant choices and designs are fabulous.
I love these videos of submitted images!! I’m in zone 10 and it’s really fun to see what my “neighbors” are doing with their yards. Thank you for all the details you add to the video Laura, helping ID plants and more.
I love that you did this video! We have a side yard (basically a sidewalk and cyclone fence) that I had not idea what to do with it. There were so many great ideas in this video that next year I hope to submit a transformation!
Thank you for sharing your narrow spaces everyone!❤️
Thank you thank you sooo much Laura. I started gardening after watching you and now I’m obsessed. I’m learning a lot didn’t even know I like gardening. Well I had a small side yard that I could not design at all. It’s full sun. I just throw seeds in the ground lol for 2 years of a bunch of mixed match. This was the only section I could not visualize. I needed this so bad. This was a brilliant idea. Oh I’m in zone 7a in NJ very good soil and growing season
Loved the fairy garden theme in the gutters! My favorite idea.
Really loved this video. I love this idea of featuring viewer’s various gardens and gardening challenges. It’s so inspiring. Also, I appreciate your enthusiasm, Laura, in admiring and being inspired by other’s gardens when yours are super gorgeous and inspiring to us!
Anyone else trying to zoom in to take in all of the beauty? I absolutely love this series!
We are working with 5 ft on both sides of our house so kind of sad to see these side yards are actually “big” to us. Also, can we plant trees next to a foundation of a home with no future issues as the tree matures?
Thanks to all who contributed to this video! What amazing small spaces and it's helping me to find a garden answer for my skinny space.
Thanks GA for thinking of this idea. So smart!
Happy gardening!!!
Great ideas and beautiful transformations. We had a wicked snow storm last week and we lost some mature plants. These pictures give me hope and ideas for how to fix my yard in the spring.
I so love watching Laura! She is so inspiring. 🐝🪴🌷🌲
I love these videos! Thank you! Every time I think I’m “getting it”, I realize I still have a very long way to go when it comes to our yard. The different ideas are so helpful, then with you sharing your knowledge AND design ideas, there’s no way someone could fail. Thank you so much, your videos give me peace on the daily while I get ready for a job that is no longer keeping me happy. So to wake up and hear your beautiful voice, it centers me, then once I get home from work, I start on the ideas that you’ve so thoughtfully shared. I can’t thank you enough for the daily peace! THANK YOU!!
Omgoodness! I have a plain grass skinny side yard to tackle.. and this is very inspiring! i love seeing the gardens from others that also follow Garden Answer. Gives me a warm fuzzy sense of gardening community.
😍🤗🌻🌼🌹🥀🌺
This was such a fun video! I am impressed with the talent of your viewers many, if not all, who have been inspired and encouraged by you to dream and then plant! The choices were remarkable. Being in Western Washington, I was particularly excited to see the multiple contributors from here and what they’ve done in the same zone I’m starting in! Thank you everyone for sharing your beautiful spaces with us.
That succulents wall looked absolutely magnificent
💚💚💚
Thanks. I was super excited to have made it on my favorite RUclips channel! Made my day
@@RC-mc6rc I'm definitely going to try it. To me , it was the best out of all these.
I love to see your land and beautiful yard. You and your husband work hard and you have such a gift of making all the different areas look amazing!! I love your videos that show how to plant, the conditions and seeing the final outcome. Loved today's video and got excited on what I can do with a side yard that is roughly 16-18 ft wide, facing south. Still not sure what all to plant for vertical, shrubs, flowering and ground growth. I know you dont have time to read much less respond to many comments but I'm 61 and just learning so any ideas on shrubs or flowering plants would help me finally do something with that barren space. Thank you so much, God bless and always continue sharing your gifts.
THIS IS SO TOUCHING, WHY DO THESE GARDENS touch my HEART with all the feels... maybe using what you have, inspiration, being grateful, transformation, adding color and beauity. Laura/Aaron Thank You so much.
🌺Wow wow wow and kudos to all shown here, and all the others I know are out there. So fun to see gardening ideas and problem areas re-done in so many beautiful ways! Thank you all so much, and to Laura for highlighting all these creative GA followers! Well done 💐💚👏🏻
Love, love, loved this video! It gave me so many ideas for my 2 narrow side yards! Thank you Laura and Aaron for featuring other gardeners accomplishments. I look forward to seeing more in future podcasts.
I prefer the curved walkway because to me they look more relaxing. Definitely would stay away from grass paths, but then I don’t like grass. I appreciate so many of the beautiful plants that we cannot seem to grow here on hot very humid tropical south Florida, it is a big learning curve!
I love love love the one with the cacti on the wall!! The little house in there just does it for me!
Thank you! I change the fairy garden figures out with the seasons💕
@@RC-mc6rc really? Wow! This is a wonderful idea! I might try to steal it and share it with my nephews! They will have fun imagining why and how it evolves with the seasons 😁
What
So many styles of gardening that I could not pick a favorite. They all were delightful to view. Thanks!
The submissions are amazing. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I loved seeing everyones gardens, so many clever, creative people.
This is another video I will watch over and over again for inspiration. So many talented gardeners. Thanks to Laura and Aaron for providing the video and thanks to the gardeners who were featured.
Thanks to everyone who shared their lovely gardens.
Laura, thank you so much for videos like this- pure inspiration! I am a mother of two babies under two, but am still determined to find time to landscape 💪🏼 and your videos are a huge source of inspiration and motivation. I stumbled across Garden Answer about a year ago and I have since shared you with my mom and sister and we are all ADDICTED! You have even inspired this year’s Christmas shopping. My dad gave my mom a set of augers for her gift 😂 and my mom gave my sister and I Felco pruners and paddle wire! Of course we followed your mom’s tips and used them to make wreaths from a magnolia tree that cracked in my mom’s yard during our last hurricane! You have given the 3 of us lots of joy and one more topic to discuss non stop. Thank you to you and your beautiful family 🙏

Thank you and everyone for sharing all these beautiful flower ideas. Can't pick just one. Please everyone continue what you're doing. And thank you Laura for doing this. Happy gardening!!!!
Yay zone 8B. It's so hot in the Summer here it so nice to see so many beautiful flowers and foliage.
I love seeing these photos!!
Hi Laura and Aaron! It was fun seeing how people dealt with their skinny side yards. Kudos to all of the people who submitted the photos that you showed. I really loved the one with the succulents in the rain gutters! Thank you so much for sharing!
Really enjoying the series showing other gardens. I would love to see something like this for gardens where deer are a problem!
Thank you for this video and all of the beautiful photos submitted from your viewers! It has finally given me the courage to tackle my side yard that spans the length of our driveway. It is only 5ft at its widest spot and 16 inches at its most narrow. I’ve got a coal chute and a few other obstacles to contend with, but I’m looking forward to the transformation that will compliment our historic home in town.
My favorite video of yours so far! Just fabulous ideas!
I loved this segment. It was so inspiring. Hope you do this idea again. January is such a great time to show these gardens... thank you
Wow!! Love this Skinny Side Yards as well as the Container Gardens, so much inspiration!! Keep them coming please at least through the cold months, they are wonderful to look at and get such good ideas. So enjoy your channel, you brighten my day. Such warmth and love exudes from you and your family💕
This is awwwesome! So much inspiration...right now seems like all of my planting beds are in the before stage (and they're all narrow and mostly shade.) I've been overwhelmed with what plants to use. It's so nice to see such beautiful spaces, and to hear it took some people years of experimentation to get them where they are now. Thank you for putting this video together! I love seeing all of your wonderful projects and love seeing the inspired projects others have completed by watching your channel. Hopefully one day I can send in my before and after pictures!

Good Morning! What a great video to start the week! Love how creative this community is.
I’ve been wanting to do something with the side yard that holds my A/C unit. Have 2 volunteer trees, that I yearly have to cut way back. Will be weed whacking the weeds and putting ground cover soon. These gardens give me many ideas to mull over. Thank you all for sharing this, and of course to Laura for posting. 😁
Wow, you're so patient with your teaching thank you miss for being an inspiration to my little garden efforts awaiting your next tutorial. Very nice garden. It looks really gorgeous. This is a very instructive video. Looking at your garden, I got a very good idea. Life is very beautiful. I have to try it. Thanks for sharing the video.👍👍👍
Everyone did a fantastic job with their narrow space gardens!
Thx Laura n GA Fam for creating new n fun ways to feed our grow obsessed minds when our gardens are sleeping under blankets of snow. I am visiting in AZ right now from snow covered MD n am quite in awe of a very different Winter!
Wow. All I can say is that there are some really talented gardeners out there!
Watching you talk about your old garden was so neat. Thank you for sharing.
I live in California 9b zone. There isn't much difference from season to season compared to other parts of the country. No snow at all. Some rain. Mild winters with very hot summers. Thanks for the great ideas!
I can’t wait to start my narrow side yard now. So so many ideas running through my head. I’m in zone 4b so will mostly be annuals. Bought the house in may of last year and it’s been so fun designing the spaces. My front yard is all garden and that is almost all done. The veggie garden was a higher priority to get done. Can’t wait for April/may so I can start gardening again.
Wonderful side garden. Oh ! How a I’m beginning to feel envious. Winter here making best of the hard greens & flowers 💐 🇮🇪
Love this video! So fun seeing other gardeners side yards!
Laura, we appreciate sharing gardens of others, in more typical sizes. What great talent and vision these people have!
This is exactly what I needed to see. I’ve been working on my side yard that gets full sun and needed more inspiration.
I appreciate the great content to help change a really tough gardening area into a really sweet coffee, tea or napping spot! The zone and plant information is SUPER helpful! Thank you for doing this video compilation, Laura; I am just so excited to create my own little secret garden!
