Samantha is adorable, but let’s not forget how adorable Benjamin is. He is such a good, sweet and loving little boy. You guys are raising great kids. These family moments should be treasured. They go by so fast. Your sweet mom probably feels like it was just yesterday that she was doing this with you, Joe and Monica at that same age.

Give Russell some extra treats 🐈he's a good boy

I just love everything about this video! The adorable kids, the quality family time, the decor, and the plantings! It's stunning! thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us.

What a special childhood you two have created for your children.They are going to have so, so many wonderful memories to carry with them through life. ☺️☺️☺️

🐈🐾 Awww, Russell is SUCH a sweet & tolerant kitty to just lay there and let Samantha put mulch all over him. What a sweetheart! 💙

Oh wow Russell is such a lovely gentle cat! I laughter out loud when I saw him so calmly laying by Samantha-Grace covered in mulch. Some animals really do understand and treat children different.

Samantha's "hello" peeking out from behind the hydrangea & Russel being so loving... absolutely precious💕💕 Benjamin is so creative... absolutely love it... takes after his Mom💕💕God Bless🙏

Laura, please don't preface or apologize for creating such a beautiful and inspirational holiday harvest walkway. When you are joyful in life, and in family, sharing in abundance is a gift we are grateful for. The new annuals and perennials made the whole look so spectacular... Just love it. Thanks for all you share!

It was sweet seeing Samantha playing with the kitty cat covering it with mulch. It was nice seeing Benjamin help you out so much. Aaron is such a good dad over seeing everything everywhere.

Laura it is all so beautiful, but what warms my heart the most is watching good parents with their babies.. showing patience, letting them explore, not rushing them.. God bless you all. ❤ Thank you for sharing.

That night picture is beautiful! When Samantha lifted the flower away from her head and the cat, and said hello, I laughed out loud. It was so cute!

The decorations are lovely. I can't help but mention that this video is a perfect example of wonderful parenting. The love and respect between you and your children is evident and so heartwarming. Have a glorious fall!

The night view is so warming & elegant. Truly a joy to see. Great job, Laura! The wider, more open walk ways made a huge difference. It feels more freeing to be looking/ walking down them. Seeing Aaron in the back ground occasionally is a wonderful full circle feeling on your videos. Having a man/father around is a big deal.

Every time I think Samantha can't get any cuter . . . she goes and gets cuter! ADORABLE 🥰

What a FUN project to do with the kids. Benjamin has most definitely been absorbing the arranging gene! Please don't ever apologize for the 'abundant' way you decorate. We are all in different places in our lives and have different styles, tastes etc and although I could never afford to buy that many pumpkins and gourds where I live (they are super expensive) I do truly LOVE to see it done on someones step. So stunning and it makes me smile 🎃

This video was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. The kids, the cat covered in mulch, the gorgeous plants and the final look at the evening glow with so many beautiful pumpkins. Those perennials were perfect. Laura you just keep getting better. Thank you!

Ohhhh so pretty! Loved the night shot with the candles. Thank you so much. Russell is an angel. He loves you all so much. xo

This was so sweet! Icing on cake was when Russel said it is ok to cover me in mulch. That cat is AMAZING!

I absolutely love how this turned out❤. The pumpkin lined path with the lanterns, pansies & grasses is AWESOME!!!!! The shot with Samantha tucked under the hydrangea with the cat is priceless 💕

Samantha so funny and cute, just like her grandma. It happens naturally, hiding behind a huge flower and poping out to say, "Hello!" There's a little funny behind that hello. lol

I whole heartily agree about Thanksgiving. It's always been my favorite Fall/Winter holiday. No pressure, just family and friends getting together having an unstressed simple time to enjoy each other. It is too bad that Christmas is so commercial and so horribly expensive now, sometimes it just isn't fun. The walkways looks fabulous what a beautiful color.

Love seeing Benjamin & Samantha grow into their own sweet personalities.

The changes you made .... I cannot find the words for how beautiful it is. The planting, the pumps, and Samantha Grace have brightened my day and I needed that. Benjamin is such a special lil human. Thank you so much for sharing your gardens with us.

The children picked really cool pumpkins. Samantha's happy dance so cute. What a fine young man Benjamin is. Beautiful at night. You might want to consider leaving the lanterns with a lighting set up inside them. The ambiance is excellent.

Very good improvements. Your contractor does great brick and stone work. You are fortunate to have them. Enjoy your videos everyday and enjoy the variety of subjects and your willingness to share your family with us.

Okay, this makes me have to vote no on adding handrails back here. The side steps are so perfect to decorate! Seeing your family at the pumpkin farm was so fun! Benjamin thinking to leave his sword in the truck, and making a train with the carts, Samantha Grace wanting to taste the corn - Daddy's "no no no no no! Then Russell getting gently covered in mulch and the boxwood layout by the Hartley back at home. Thanks for an absolutely sweet share today.

Oh my goodness, the whole video was especially adorable with Benjamin and Samantha Grace! You’re so Blessed to be able to put together a video with your family helping and adding a unique charming kitty in the mix, (I’ve never known cats to be so sweet and they absolutely love being with you all) adding pops of color with all the beautiful plants, the wonderful display is breathtaking, especially at night! You’ve definitely have a flare for design and capturing the perfect amount pumpkins for a spectacular and colorful entry! Thank You for sharing a very special time with your family, I thoroughly enjoyed it ❤

LOVE the Cherry Rhubarb Jam from there!!! The lady that makes it is in her 80’s - we put it on a lot of things😋 Such a Fun Adorable vlog 🎃

Laura, you win the "Super Mom" award! Shopping, watering, planting, decorating - all while videotaping the action. Benjamin is quite the helper and his addition of the lilac branch was so sweet. Seeing Samantha's smile as she mulched Russell was the frosting on the cake in this video. I can't begin to imagine if I had all of this activity planned for one day and videotaping as it happened. It wouldn't be "pretty!"

Benjamin is such a great helper!! And Samantha Grace is cute as always lol

Russell covered in mulch! Lolololo. So darn cute! Everything look’s festive and beautiful! 🍂🍁🎃🌱🌞💫👏👏👏

Wow Russel sure is a good kitty 🐈♥️♥️ So tolerant I love it

I love watching your family, it feels very special that you allow us to be part of your life and see your children growing. God bless ❤

I agree with this being one of the cutest videos with Samantha & Benjamin. Benjamin is an awesome helper !!!! I love the look of everything together.

Such a beautiful display of Fall colors! The lanterns really add a cozy feeling. It was great to see the children helping at the pumpkin patch! They are so cute!

Absolutely gorgeous miss the years of my boy's being home they are all 3 boy's grown and married with families of there own

You have created an absolute wonderland in your property how beautiful

I just love this so much. I don't have to tell you, but enjoy these times with your little ones. It goes by so fast. Ibstill decorate, but it isn't nearly the fun it was when the kids were helping. I miss it so much. It is gorgeous.

Love how Benjamin and you arranged all the pumpkins.

Oh what a total joy this video was to watch! Laura, you sure have a gift for making your home look SO inviting. Picture Perfect. Thank you also for taking us along with your family to pick out pumpkins. It was such a heart-warming video!

She's that big already? Wow! So cuuuuuute 😍

I welled up when I saw the lanterns being placed and you and Benjamin were cleaning them... goodness me! What a precious family and that entrance looks ... just.... never mind, I'm bawling and speechless 💞💞

This channel is a GOLD MINE of beauty, information and joy! Your vision and unique "stamp" really came together this year to abundantly transform 5+ acres of land (no small feat!). I'm still amazed at ALL that you, Aaron, Paul and Bethany (?) along with the many super talented tradespeople managed to accomplish -- it's just GORGEOUS!! As the weather starts pushing you indoors, I'd love to see a Q&A video about your property plans for "Season 10 - 2023." Do you plan to update the outdoor fireplace (rebuilding or refacing with slate or stone) since the original orange-red stone style/color seems out of sync now? So excited to see what happens next on "The Garden Answer Adventures"!! 😄

Samantha reminds me of my older daughter, not afraid of anything. Decorating the kitty with mulch is something she might have done. So adorable 🌸🌸🌸

This video is a delight, I could watch it over and over again.

My understanding of polymeric sand is that it if too much is allowed to cure on the surface of the brick, it will adhere to the top of the brick & create a haze. The brick pathway is beautiful though, and hopefully there’s a solution for cleaning them. The walkway and plant display is stunning!

That's my understanding as well. I hope it turns out the way she is wanting. We have used some on large projects and the brand we used directed to make sure any excess was gone before the watering to set it because it would just set on top of the stone.

Samatha is so Cute especially when she said “ Hello” and Benjamin is so lovely… years to come this would be a very precious video for your family.. 🎃❤️

When Benjamin stopped to help clean the lanterns, it brought back all the memories of my 20 year old when he was a little guy and always so eager to help Mommy with every little project. He’s still the first one to volunteer to give me a hand when I need it, but it never gets old. Got me right in the mom feels today! 🥹

OMGosh Samantha is a joy to watch, she brings a smile to my face, Benjamin is an adventurous guy!

Ohhhhh yes it all turn out very lovely indeed, Benjamin is such a amazing little helper, he did such a great job, bless his little heart❤

i feel sometimes i may be living vicariously through these kids trying to pretend this is my childhood they are so very lucky and will grow into lovely humans 💓

Wow you packed so much in this video. Had to watch the video twice. Was not expecting all the plants today. So glad you got to showcase your new brickwork.

Sometimes, when I watch your videos, I get emotional and cry, because you’ve created such a magical space for your kids to grow up in and I want to do the same for mine. I try!

Samantha’s little “hello” was the cutest and Benjamin is such a good helper.
