      ⁠Happened to our river in Canada …we had a farm that banked on the river and it was pristine and teeming with life and plants…A plant moved into out town a few miles away and it dumped waste into our river….dead fish, frogs, plants ,bugs…gone overnight. Swimming hole and wading areas lost…my Dad came into the house to tell the family and he cried. We were all in shock. The river has somewhat healed in this day but is still not very viable . That happened when I was about 9 yo and this year I’m 80. We must all guard our waters. That family home farm was settled in the 1800’s and never harmed the water. It and the fiver fed us kept us healthy and gave us great enjoyment and safety. We also need to return to former farming tactics which didn’t rely on chemical…natural fertilizer from the cattle, and crop rotation and not excessive tilling with big machines.Just my opinion.
      The in farm in this story was a 100 acre farm and supported a family of eight to 12 people and they all thrived .

    Overwhelmed with this entire experience - when Greg The Pond Guy saw the little shark I actually cried over the excitement - honestly I cried over the entire project coming to a close - the pond, the rocks, the plantings, the fish 🐟, Benjamin, Samantha! This talented group of people brought additional magic to your world Laura and Aaron! Wishes for lots of wonderful memories and sending many blessings 👍👏🎉😊Great job and a joy to watch ,- thanks for sharing everyone!!❤️

    These last few days have been amazing for the dedicated followers of Garden Answers. This has been breathtaking viewing! I thought the Hartley construction and landscaping magical….. the long driveway with the developing treescape and floral recesses sculptural……the cut flower garden and the orchard with the meadows cape beneath so ,so floriferous…..and now the pondscape with its rocks, trees and plants. Awesome! Thank you , Laura and Aaron for sharing. From Eve Griggs.

The GA viewers have waited to see this beautiful creation come to life. Let's just say that you ALL didn't disappoint us at all. One morning, Laura will walk out to the pond to enjoy the beauty that you and God created and find a little short woman from Tennessee taking in all the beauty that surrounds Laura and Aaron's home. (I am joking) I am honored that Laura and Aaron share their beautiful gardens, and now the beautiful pond with me/us. We are blessed to get to see and share Laura's family with her.

    The pond looks beautiful! My grandfather used to feed fish in his backyard. His tip to not waste fish food to dissolving is to tap the rock 3 times with pvc pipe, drop the fish food. They quickly learned the taps meant food and they would come up to the surface to eat. He also tethered a floating ring to the shore an tossed the food in the ring to contain the food .

So many wonderful memories to be made for Benjamin, Samantha, and their cousins and friends. Yours will be the go to house for all to gather. (the kool-aid house)

    It's amazing how much can be accomplished when you don't care who gets the credit! Or even better, make sure everyone else gets the credit! I keep pausing the video to stop and take in what's been accomplished. I've waited with bated breath every day this week, waiting for the next installment and seeing the progress! It looks like it's been there forever, but then I remind myself that every boulder and every article there was chosen and placed exactly how it is--a million decisions, large and small! Also, the greatest gift you can give someone is to TRUST them! Clearly, all these people are professionals, and you just trusted them with your property and let the pros perform their craft. I loved all the edification at the end, thanking each person and promoting each of their businesses, websites, and RUclips channels. My eyes stung on several occasions, it was so touching. I loved seeing the tent out there and can imagine how fun it must have been eating with everyone and becoming fast friends. I am more than a little curious about the price tag for all this, including the plant materials and the koi, but I'm just in awe and now have a new thing one my Dreams List! I'm looking forward to seeing it continue to develop!
