Yes!! You could even just put up an info card with the name, growing conditions and brief history. Then put the before and after photos up. You would only really need to do an intro and wrap up talking segment if that makes it less work on your end. I could definitely watch these all day! Even "before" and "still in process, not yet finished" photos!

Yep, totally agree, I would love to see more videos like this! These were all so inspiring and it gives me hope because many of these projects took several seasons. Great job to all of the awesome project owners!

This whole series of seeing everyone’s hard work is so inspiring. Thank you Laura and Aaron for bringing us all together in this way. So appreciate your love of gardening and your followers!

I love all of the before and after but Laura’s reaction and enthusiasm over each one is the best! That seems to be just who she is. She has a phenomenal garden but gets excited over what others are doing! 💚

Laura’s genuine response to peoples before and after shots is truly a blessing to see! I can only imagine the excitement and honor of those who you featured, getting that response from Laura, the queen of gardening! One of these days I’ll get my act together and make a submission! Lol!!

Just when you thought you had DONE something, you see these wonderful before and afters and say to yourself "Man, I've got to step my game up". Well done to all, so beautiful!

How extremely fortunate I was to be selected as one of the before and afters highlighted by Laura. I'm sure there were many more entries and it was difficult to choose only a few to show publicly. Kudos to everyone who submitted their gardens...perhaps those who didn't get selected could post their images and information on the GA Groupies Facebook page. Your fellow gardeners, me especially, would love to see your hard work! The best part of gardening is taking inspiration from others and finding ways to transform your own space into something beautiful so thank you to everyone in the GA community for being so supportive and willing to share! I love being part of such a special group!

Nothing beats a before and after even more so when Laura does it!!! Thanks for this gem! Great before and afters that were featured!!

This is so inspiring!! All the different ideas and how they were landscaped. The one where they put in a a fence on the side yard was an amazing transformation!!

Love these videos where we can get inspired by others. Thank you for sharing your viewers' gardens and for your insightful commentary. Love your channel!

New subscriber. I am disability retired and now enjoying gardening around my home. Have to work differently due to some physical issues but I just call it my new normal. My neighbors all comment that I have a green thumb. They also get plant starters from me to plant (or they have me to plant) in their own gardens.

What inspiration! I especially appreciated the senior garden since that’s where I’m at , I absolutely love gardening but mine is almost too much maintenance and I’m down sizing .

This was fun! Love seeing everyone’s creativity and results from hard work. Once again, lush distractions from the dreariness of mid winter. Great video, Laura and Aaron! 💚💚💚

These before and afters are so inspiring! Just what I needed to get me through the winter! Love your channel! Keep gardening!

I love how willing you are in sharing and supporting all of our FB, IG and KZread channels! For those of us that are trying to grow our own businesses on these platforms, it is so helpful having the support! Thank You for all that you are doing!

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!!!!!! It is so wonderful to see the before and after shots of these beautiful gardens. It gives me so much inspiration. I'm in the middle of redoing our garden and it is such hard work. These pictures just gave me the strength to keep going. Thank you so much for that. All I can say is...MORE, MORE, MORE!!!....lol. 💗🤣🌼

Love this! So many beautiful gardens and all so very different. Could there be a Part 2, please?

This is PERFECT timing! I'm coming into my second spring in our new house, and I had to leave behind a garden i loved when we moved. Its nice to be reminded that it takes time and that the results are worth it!

I absolutely LOVE these style of videos. So many content creators just repost other's work, but this is COMMUNITY. It's beautiful and interactive and it's so COOL seeing the impact you/Garden Answer has had on our lives. So many of these spaces came to fruition after you inspired so many people. So many memories made in creation and in enjoying these spaces after. Laura, I hope you feel the love! And then seeing the other seasoned gardeners sharing their styles too... it's wonderful. Thank you to all the viewers for sharing your spaces with Laura and the rest of us.

Yes! I knew the before and afters would be cool and they did not disappoint! I'm so glad you started this series. If it doesn't continue through spring, I hope it at least starts up again next winter.

Isn't it nice to start your day hearing the words: perfect, gorgeous, beautiful, lush, amazing, WOW, good job, well done, inspirational, Isn't that glorious, lucky etc, etc. I just love Laura's videos.

Laura's truly authentic excitement is the best part

I'm so excited my little bed was featured! Thank you GA and to all who shared their awesome transformations. I'd love to see your before and afters on the Garden Answer Groupies Facebook page so we can see even more!

Laura does such an amazing job of including a variety of the photos submitted and treating everyone with dignity. Not all of us come from the same socioeconomic backgrounds but we all come together to enjoy her channel. I think it’s so lovely to see a wide variety of yard sizes and starting points from which the before pictures come. And I think it would be easy for anyone else to start to compare people’s houses and budgets but she keeps it to what really matters, our love for gardening. Great job, love you Laura!

Good morning. These admitions as well as previous ones have given me a lot of inspiration. My space is small but every year I set out to have a front yard garden that stops passer byes. Unfortunately every year I miss the mark. With these types of videos I can see what works well and also see that I have to take the time to read plant lables as I always end up with the taller flowers in front blocking the short ones. This year my layering game will be on point! Thanks everyone for taking the time to share your space!

Laura, I so appreciate how you can see the beauty of a tiny space all the way to a space the size of yours. I would imagine most of us see the huge scale in which you are able to grow and create, yet you are able to be inspired by others with a much smaller space. 🙌❤

Wow!! I am so honoured that Tyson's Garden was shown!! My heart is absolutely bursting with happiness. Thank you!! All of these gardens are absolute masterpieces and everyone should be so proud of all their hard work and love they have put into their spaces! They are all so inspiring!

Laura and Aaron this is such an awesome idea for new videos to get us through the gray days of winter! Seeing normal yards transformed is inspirational and gets me excited for spring. And a special thank you to you both for showing up everyday, putting out quality work, and fostering fresh ideas and genuine kindness towards everyday life. In case you didn’t know we have coffee ever morning 😉 and it sets the tone for my day!

This was so motivating. Such creativity!!! I’m now even more excited for the garden season to begin. Thanks for share these wonderful gardens.

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day

I really needed this right now, not gonna lie. I've been a gardener forever, but have come across some really tough times the last few years, even pre pandemic, and my garden and home have suffered for it. Last summer, I got really inspired to redesign my gardens. Decided it was finally time to remove the things I don't love, and plan the space to be my own. My excitement for gardening was finally back, my excitement for several things to be honest. Then I lost an extremely close family member. And all of my excitement, my planning, my inspiration left, and I was lower than I'd been. This winter, the seed catalogues have been coming, and you've showcased some beautiful new varieties, and I've been thinking more and more about trying it. The first space featured, showing that it takes time to become your vision, brought me some comfort. The healing garden brought me to tears. I'm so impressed by everyone's spaces, and creativity, and hard work. And I think I'll make a go of it this spring.

Laura, you ROCK! Thank you for getting viewers involved. By the way, my grandkids are your biggest fans down here in Alabama and Georgia!

I really appreciate that you featured projects of all sizes, not just million dollar homes with huge landscaping budgets. It was inspirational to see landscapes of all sizes. The featured projects showed how with hard work and creativity, you can create a beautiful landscape even on a smaller budget.

It's amazing how a simple before and after makes you realize that your yard is a BEFORE and needs some AFTER done to it!

Exactly what I realized! My old pictures shows an edged beautiful garden. Now 10 years since my husband's death. It is ragged and overgrown. I am too old to do the needed work and fall over easily. But some of the bones are still good. My lilies were gorgeous until the deer repopulated and ate them all. Some battles can't be won.

The best thing about this video was there were garden sizes and bed sizes that i can relate. Esp the backyard situation in city ❤️ More of tiny backyards please! Thank you!! So so amazing n encouraging!!

These video series are so fun! I am getting so much inspiration from everyone.

Good morning! What a great idea to see other gardens. Such beautiful ideas to ponder.

Wow! So Beautiful! Loved to see all the different zones, as well. Thank you so much for sharing.

Another terrific group of ‘before and afters’ shared by viewers and you. I noticed that by adding a structure for a change in height - be it decking or a raised hardscape terrace - offers different perspectives to view planted areas. Thank you Gardeners !!👍

These submissions were beautiful and so inspiring! I love these videos and look forward to seeing more of them. I can’t wait to get going with my gardens and adding more beauty.

My fave: the healing garden as I prepare to create my own in memory of my dad.

Janell, I would wager you get a Lot more attention to your gardening efforts than you can imagine! Don’t sell yourself short! I was so thrilled one day when someone drove by and told my husband (who happened to be outside) what beautiful landscaping we had! How inspiring to keep at it! I have no doubt your efforts are appreciated by not only passers by but neighbors also. You are the most important person to please with your loving efforts. Keep at it!🌺🌷❤️

Hi Laura, woud you consider doing one of these videos about balcony and container gardens?

Part 2 please

Having built a vegetable garden out of an underused back lawn, I can appreciate all the work that went into these lovely gardens! Can we have a Part Two, please?! Before and after pics are so inspiring. I love your channel and watching the progress in your space!

What great transformations in all of those beautiful gardens! I’m soaking up every detail as I just bought my first home with a completely blank fenced in backyard that I will be growing in! ❤️

I live in a top floor apartment in the city, & don't foresee ever having a garden again, but I still watch your channel religiously because of your contagious enthusiasm! (+ I love my houseplants- my grandson calls my apartment "the jungle" 😂) xo

Wow Amazing Gardens Everyone!!🤩

Beautiful work everyone. Thanks for the ideas.

Ok!!! This is exactly what I needed to get off my backside and get winter sowing and sketching!! So so inspiring - love seeing the gorgeous transformations and most importantly, Laura’s genuine delight in each transformation along with her quick highlights of the changes! We are so lucky to be connected this way to Laura and all her viewers!

So lovely! So inspiring! Great job everyone!

I doubt you truly understand the depth in which you inspire people. Your love of gardening is infectious. Thank you for inviting us into your life and garden. You are the wife, mother, daughter and sister everyone wants. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you and your family.

This was such a fun video to watch. My garden is always a growing progress so this was very helpful & inspiring. Thank you.

Tyson’s garden is my favorite! I want to do something like this. I have a cement big fountain and I have an old wrought iron gazebo that I have been saving for something special. I am so inspired!

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow!

So I was so depressed since it feels like I’m so far away from finishing my yard. It is very big and I’m trying to do as much as I can myself with only a couple things hired out. Watching this and another like it has given me so much hope since you talked about how it takes years to get there. All of these before and afters have given me so much hope. I acknowledge my yard has improved a lot since I started. Thank you so much. From seriously being so depressed to starting to believe in myself again.

Now I have even more ideas.

This was a *fantastic* video!! Love, love, LOVE the before and afters a from your viewers. It goes to show the fruit of what you’re doing here and all that we’ve learned from watching Garden Answer. I would love to see more of these! 💚

In the depths of a cold winter, it was so fun to see all this inspiration. I appreciated Laura's joy at seeing all the beautiful gardens!

I love this!!!!

I’m continually coercing my husband to let me remove more and more of his precious lawn for more flower beds! Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing other gardens!

LOOOOOOVE looking at peoples "before and after" on the yards/gardens!! I dont care if it is one of the "tiny" houses, a trailer house or an estate, I like seeing them!

I think that you should come up with a list for next winter now. That way we could take proper photos in landscape mode. One thing I’ve done in the past is a winter, spring, summer and fall picture of a garden from the exact spot.

That GA group sharing all that hard work & was really great 😍💞

I just love this series of videos! I hope you will make this a yearly tradition during the winter months! The gardening community is such a lovely, nurturing and inspiring one and I for one am enjoying this tremendously! Maybe next year I can submit some pics lol! My garden is currently getting a facelift. Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Man!!! These gardens are AMMAZING! The first garden I wanted to roll around in the meadow in the back. So, gorgeous. 😍🥰❤️

I loved this segment so much! Please do more of them! Everyone's yards are so inspiring and, like you said Laura, it's so neat to be able to see gardens from all over the world!

I loved this video and I'm impressed by the creativity, vision and the hard work it took to transform these spaces from meh to marvelous. Thank you!

Wow these are amazing. I can’t believe everyone knows the names of the plants, I see something I like I put it in the garden and would never remember what they are called. Good job everyone!

Oh my goodness!! They are all so inspiring! Pls let us know if we can submit some more!! I have pictures from before but not of my after but I will make sure I take them specifically so I can submit them here!!! I love this series of bringing your followers that you inspire so much to your channel just by showing what we all share in common which is the love of gardening!!! ❤️

Great 👍 job everyone who was featured!

This was an amazing video of lovely gardens. Y’all have such a positive impact on people. Thank you. Also, loved you popping up in shots of the gardens.🥰

When you mentioned that your Mom always told you you should have 4 colors in your garden "red, yellow, blue and green" it made me think of my own garden and how I'm working with red, yellow and purple. Gorgeous after gardens. So many talented gardeners out there.

I just LOVED this! I think my favorite was Eric and Christopher's! Our daughter and son-in-law gave us one of those Redbuds at their rehearsal dinner and he made a speech about roots and hearts and the rest is history! We love that tree so much. I hope you do this again. I love the inspiration from all of these wonderful spaces, every shape size and zone!

I am loving this series! I would love to see how folks have created privacy using plantings.

I love seeing all these beautiful gardens. People are so resourceful and creative. With them being in different zones makes it even more interesting.

Yay! I love seeing other peoples gardens

Omgggg I can't wait to see the front yard gardens! It's our plan for 2023 to really overhaul the shape and expand our front yard garden to make about half of it heavily planted.

Absolutely love these garden shares! So inspiring!! Makes my soul happy and looking forward to spring! Currently snowing here in WV. ☃️

Lots of inspiration! ❤️❤️

I cannot wait to be in this list in the future. I’ve been watching you off and on for a few years now and now I’m finally confident enough to spend the time and money into my landscape. I’m so excited and it’s all thanks to you! Can’t wait to show you in a few years.

Beautiful submissions ❤️🇺🇸☀️

This is my favorite video format now. I love the tours but this shows so many different gardening zones and their challenges. Love it!

These gardens were all so inspirational! In the next video where you feature front yards, could you do a screen recording on your computer while looking at the photos and pointing things out with the mouse? I am still learning about different plants and it would help me focus on where your eye is as you say the names of the plants in the photos.

I love the little White House Shelly transformed it really looks so cute and almost gives off sweet dollhouse fairy garden like vibe maybe a bistro set for tea time?! May I join you Lol 😆 I really do love it!

This is just what I needed! Upgrading from a townhouse to a large house and equally large yard in a week. I have so many ideas and these gardens are helping me to have focus!

I think it would be neat to see a collaboration video of 4 pictures of the same place, one from each season!

oh I love this! I'm tired of looking at my dead stems that I need to cut down. Spring! Come hither, come yon!
