    I love how confident you two are now! When I started watching Aaron was mostly silent, no fart discussions 😂, no grabbing benches and moving about. It feels like we're all best friends now. I have learned so much from your show. My son and I have spent so much time this spring putting in trees and shrubs at our newly built house because we watch you together. He is autistic and just loves watching "flowers" as he calls your show. We moved in to a blank space this Feb and we both have so many ideas to thank you for. It's fun to have inspiration for our shared hobby.

    Definitely on Aaron's side with this one, his idea makes more sense. It's his garden space too! It's like it's her way or no way and I don't like that! And her attachment to stuff is ridiculous, she's stubborn and doesn't take advice well! I just wish for Aaron to man up and be more definitive in his opinion and say "this is how it's going to be, your attachment to these things is hindering your foresight as to the vision of this garden". If Aaron was allowed to map out the garden space in a more cohesive planned out space, it would alleviate her planting things and digging them up because a season later she notices how that plant doesn't have enough space to grow or the plant doesn't feel or look right in that particular spot she first planted it. It will save them a lot of money, time & enough if Aaron was allowed to create a design for the entire property as opposed to her just willy-nilly planting stuff or creating a space and then changing it the next season!

    Since it doesn't seem like you sit on those benches often, but I agree with Laura, some kind of hard architecture needs to be there, what about iron statuary? Maybe something you custom-order that tells a story? Or a 4-part series of flower sculptures, or how about concrete or stone benches custom-made with your children's handprints or footprints inlaid on top? Made to look like they stepped on top, frozen at that age, in a moment of time? Could become an heirloom in time, something to pass down to them when they move into their first home.

Your tours are like spending time with best friends, just so much fun! From you and your mom trying things on at the antique stores, bumping your head on branches and birdfeeders, looking at us so offended by them, How dare they! Stepping and tripping over cats, to you and Aaron's discussions over boxwoods and benches, to farts in the wind. You have brought me, so many times to the deepest, fall off my chair laughter and eyes full of tears. I Love you all so very much! Humbling and Hilarious! And we've all learned SO much as well. Blessings to all of you for so much pleasure you bring others. (PS...I like the rocker benches where they are facing each other. Moving the boxwood closer to the tree might put them in too many roots and compacted soil thus needing more water, etc.)

I loved your idea Laura. Sorry Aaron. 2. I also think a basin, oversized bowl type fountain with just a bubbler type center, would be awesome. You could still see over it, the sound of the bubbler would be so pleasing. Really enjoyed the tour. You are so far ahead of those of us in Vermont - what seems like another world away. Haha.

    Have you considered a dancing water element instead of a formal fountain which holds water? Get some ideas from Las Vegas hotels. Aaron is fabulous at his video filming. No bouncing, slow turning, great close-ups, and panoramic views. Don't forget that the longer that you delay removing dead or dying trees, the longer it will take for new trees to begin getting good height for your family to begin enjoying. Paint the metal rocking benches a prettier color and add some pretty cushions upon which to sit. Has Aaron thought about creating movies? Where are the hanging containers that lined one of the fence lines? Has Aaron made any elderberry wine yet? By the way Law-rah, your flora encyclopedic memory is doing great! No project is too big for this young couple and their children! Savannah urns placed in the areas on each side of your brick pathway entrance to the new entry way to the house? Fantastic and fun tour! Giving all of us ideas for our own yards and gardens!

I also would suggest moving the brick walkway that runs from the brick patio to the house to run straight towards the house. Mainly for the symmetry and formality of it. If you are going to be taking out the locust tree it would be a good time to make the changes you need to for the space so that it can start to reestablish.

    I needed an hour and a half of Laura and Aaron. Beautiful. Douglas was a kick today He laid down by your feet and flipped onto his back and then you accidentally stepped on him. Then for a full hour he followed you everywhere but at a distant as if, “man gotta watch her today-she’s definitely not watching where she’s putting those feet”. Then you knelt down for something and ‘bam’ he flew over there and got right beside you. The minute you stood up, he was off. I’d say he learns pretty quickly.

    My vote is to bring a swath of the grass across that paved walkway between the house and hartley the way you described it. Resting place for eyes is a good idea and Aaron is so good at keeping the grass looking nice. But of course whatever you do will be just marvelous!

    Laura, I really want to agree with you regarding the boxwood hedge because I understand your vision and the feelings that go with that vision; however, I agree with Aaron on this one. He nailed it when he described the disappointment when you look at something someone has created and think “they were so close!” I have allowed sentiment to cloud my judgement but when I finally relented, I had no regrets. As you say, if you don’t like something, you can always move it. Try it Aaron’s way and if you don’t like it, change it back! Love the inspiration you give me to get outside in the dirt and I love the way you two “keep it real” in your interactions with each other.

It was so fun to see a little more of that back and forth between you and the unscripted commentary that I imagine usually gets edited out. Very relaxed, fun garden tour. I hope this is a look at what future tours could be like and not just a one-off while you all adjust with your new editor. So, so fun! ❤

    I agree that the window by the kitchen door needs something. A window box would be perfect, but I totally get not wanting to put it on the freshly painted house. Maybe a wrought iron plant stand that is narrow and long shaped like a window box? It would tie in nicely with the trellis around the corner. I especially like the look of a "window box" style stand with terra cotta pots.

    Hi there! A suggestion: instead of a kitchen window box, create a window table! In essence, you would be creating a shelf. The width of the window. You could use some pretty corbels under the table and put an array of beautiful smallish pots on the table. I saw a pic of it in a magazine at one point, and made one for my own kitchen window. I love it! Again, just a suggestion. I love your channel, and have watched for ages!

    I don’t think you’ll ever regret putting in a kitchen garden. My herb garden has become my favorite garden. It’s so nice to just snip a bit of what I want right outside the door. As I’ve gotten older I’ve put in a lot of sempervivum and violas for ground cover. Lemon balm is one of my favorites. It’s a great addition to a salad. I really think it will give you a lot of joy. Green onions will just keep growing after you snip them. So many possibilities. 🥰

    I think it might be fun to develop a poll for your subscribers to see which way they would like to see the brick patio area--your way, Laura, of leaving benches as it and just continuing the walkway to other side as is OR Aaron's way where the benches are set ON the patio and then the hedge is moved over slightly to mirror the other side. I really like your designs Laura, but I have to agree with Aaron on this concept of moving benches to make the patio cozier and then having a hedge mirror other side for symmetry. I loved watching you all debate the issue :) Can't wait to see what you all decide. Also, I do agree that one window box under the window would look better...maybe an herb box since it's right outside the kitchen? Thanks so much for the tour!!!

    I suggest that for the formal patio benches, they can be on a square of bricks 🧱 added to the patio but surrounded by a line of space of soil to plant boxwoods around the benches one in front of the other one and behind these boxwoods there can be the pathways going from the patio to the fireplace and the wisteria arch, this way you don’t lose the symmetrical looking, the benches and the boxwoods
