I know you must be excited to get to tackle the west side walkway! A moon garden in that space would be lovely & more intimate than the larger space across the driveway. I think a tour of your barn would be interesting... how you organize - the tools you use and how they're organized, the differing soils & fertilizers, etc. 🌱😁

Annie Nation, my thoughts exactly. A Moon Garden has the feeling of romance and intimacy, partly secretive and smaller in scale. The area near the house gets my vote.

Love the idea of using the garden along the house as your moon garden.❤️❤️ The Limetta hydrangeas and boxwoods will be a beautiful border. I think you should make the larger garden your “showcase” garden and change it up every year. That garden has great bones and that way you won’t get bored! 😂

I always thought of a moon garden as a rather special area of the garden with white roses, other white flowers, silvery leaves and, most importantly, a water feature. The water and flowers reflect the glow of the moon and really sparkle when the 3 days of the full moon occur so you need a bench or bistro set to "moon bathe" while sipping a glass of wine or iced tea. Part of the garden shaded would add an interesting, magical dimension to the overall garden, woodland and moonlight. I'm looking forward to the completed project whatever you decide.

A moon garden near the house would be very pretty. I have always dreamed of having enough space for a Delft garden; whites, creams and every shade of blue flower possible!

Love the "clicking hearts" on your Garden Answer logo intro! Nice touch. And as always, you inspire me to reach outside my comfort zone and try new things - indoor spring bulb planting is on my to do list!

I'm in love with those pots.

Love the moon garden against the house. I think you will really love having the white up against your White House. It will be such a pleasing sight. And although I'm sure you're camouflaging all of the infrastructure around there, having a peaceful garden amongst all of the chaos of the area on that side will be nice. Also, I've heard the reluctance in your voice whenever you talked about doing it in the otherside. So while I don't know you personally, I think you'd get annoyed confining yourself to one color on the full sun side.

my whole yard is a moon garden because i really love white bloosoms, although i recently planted part of it up with really dark almost black blooms, so now its a "tuxedo" garden. no matter WHAT, go with your gut on where or if you stick to all white blooms.

I love the idea of the moon garden going against the house! Making it smaller and more intimate with a bench and table tucked in somewhere will make it that much more magical. I also LOVE your little Easter display! The rabbits are going to be precious amongst the flowers and grass. I must admit I never thought of planting grass in a display like that, but it's a brilliant idea

Laura maybe you guys could build a few covers for the AC units! They disguise them very well, maybe with a white lattice design it'll look pretty and blend in better with the background!

I think the idea of moving the moon garden in the shady and sunny area that is smaller is a great idea. Love how your loft turned out it looks so organized and great looking, there are so many Christmas lights but all stacked in those totes it really is impressive looking. I can't wait to see those Hyacinth bulbs and the grass grow, that is going to be one cool project. Thank you so much Laura and Aaron, I just love these videos, and I am a little jealous that you're having such great weather, right now I feel like I am buried in snow, and I am so ready for spring.

I think a moon garden on both sides would be so striking and cohesive. It would be dramatic and such a pretty formal entry to your property. You have so many spaces to do lots of color. I love everything you do so whatever you decide will be amazing!

Personally, I think putting the moon garden where you're talking about here in the shade/sun area is a really fabulous idea. I totally feel you on that and that would totally be my choice for the same reasons as you. It's really hard to find the cage tops, for outside use especially, around here in St. Louis. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places? Where do people get them? Oh yea, and did you have your hyacinths in a cold place? Did you just get them? Did you have to do any prep to them temperature wise before planting?

I’ve been thinking for a bit that you might find an all-white garden in that big of a space more limiting than challenging and fun. If you are wanting a moon garden I think along the house would be nice, but more than anything, I like the idea of allowing yourself more options along the driveway. I also think it may flow better into your vegetable garden/cutting garden with a bit more color.

The idea of a moon garden is fantastic. It would definitely look good in that area near the house. You might even enjoy it more. Those birdhouse pots are gorgeous! I cannot wait to see everything in bloom.

How cute! Love the hearts pop/bursting out of the little topiary planter! So adorable. Great idea, who’s?

I love the idea of the new section being your moon garden and the other being colorful.

I love the idea of putting the white garden near your house instead of the new west side area. I can't wait to see it all unfold....I feel some major inspiration is coming our way this Spring!

Oh how I envy those sturdy shelves you have in the barn - and the totes all labeled and organized by holiday! I had to pause to show my husband as currently we have all our stuff jammed into a storage unit. Finding all our Easter/Spring decor will be a project in itself and it’s too easy to leave totes behind due to disorganization. I think we all feel more productive when we have order. One if my pet peeves is time wasted searching for an item you know you have - somewhere.

The new intro is PERFECT!! Love it! As for the moon garden, I say do both sides. If not that, keep the original side. This way your white house will not be the back ground for your white flowers. Plus all of the replanting you would have to do for the little limes.

I love this idea. I now need to go on a treasure hunt for some spring items and pots! Also loving Russell and Cheddar in their mischievous moods today 😼

Being organized makes me feel cleaner

Place the moon garden where it would make you happiest. It is your garden after all.

I agree with how you are leaning towards the Moon Garden in the smaller area nearest the house. Love the barn organization! Your Spring Hyacinth project is so cute! I love it!

i just Watched with My mom The "July garden tour" She just LOVES PLANTS 🙆

I love the new introduction. And swapping the moongarden would be something I'd do too...🤗

Those pots you got from your mums garden centre are really lovely. And they will look lovely when it blooms. You are a very creative person Laura. And you gives us so many interesting ideas.

I agree with the moon garden by the house. When I think of the moon flowers blooming at night, you would not want them so far away. You have inspired me to do something with my bulbs today.

Totally agree about Easter being the best holiday! Here in Canada we don’t always have flowers yet, often still snow but the promise of spring is so exciting! Plus no pressure of presents etc is so nice. I’m inspired by your organization now too... you got my wheels turning.

Comsider--trial green lattice around the big obstacles-- would create less visual distraction between the plants' green and lattice. Just trial it.

That looks great BUT I have found after storing them in my attic which goes from minus numbers to well over 100 that the color layer on glass balls will eventually flake off...I now have mine in the basement.

I like the idea of the moon garden in the smaller space under the trees.

I think you’d enjoy having a moon garden by your house. It’s smaller and more intimate and with the shade in that area, white flowers will brighten it.

I think the moon garden would look so cute next to the house. It would feel more closed off and cozy

Laura, after having a moon garden myself, my recommendation is to put such a garden in an area where you might sit late in the afternoon or early in the evening when it is comfortable outside. I had mine on one side of my deck. Several of the blooms had fragrances and several of them had wonderful blooms that one could see in the light of the moon. So pull up a chair and enjoy the labor of love that you would put into it.

I love the idea of the big scale white garden!!! You have so much color everywhere which is beautiful but thing a beautiful large white garden there would be perfection!!!

I think the moon garden would be pretty in the smaller space close to the house. Love the hyacinth planters, the purple and yellow together will be stunning. Never thought of using grass in the house so that will look awesome. The lemon sedum is cute with the butterfly. Appreciate the sympathy for us in more wintery conditions, up here in the twin cities our temp will be on the mid 20's today. I want to see grass so I'm looking forward to your little grass patch sprouting(ha ha). Lots of love and appreciation from Minnesota.

Laura, Your instincts are on point! Make the moon garden on a smaller scale!

The west side garden, right up next to your house is my favorite....I’ve gone back and watched all your previous video’s on that space while planning some new garden area’s in my own yard🌸I’m sure a moon garden would be fantastic but I’d be sad to see all that’s currently there gone! Excited to see it progress🌼

I would do it in the new small area. you could use different types of plants in here because of the shade and sunny location. And I love those topiary pots. 😍

I can't wait to see your garden in the spring! I have a feeling it's going to be super spectacular!

The grass on this is the cutest idea!! Can't wait!!

I can't wait to see the hyacinths in bloom!

Yes, do the Moon garden on the west side of the house. It would have a more intimate look with the size and variation of lighting. White flowers against the white house with interesting hardscapes and it'll have the look you're after. Great plan, Laura!

I have thought about the drawbacks of doing all white in such a large space across the driveway since you first talked about it -especially with your love of color and changing things up. The side of the house is perfect and so much more intimate. Your challenge will be to find creative ways to make sure the blooms pop and don’t get lost in the side of the house. But you are the one who can do it beautifully! I say go for it there! Also, you will be able to see it at night from the house. Add a bench so you can sit in it and enjoy it at dusk. Watching the subtle color changes with the light would be fantastic! 🌙

I love resurrection day too! Bright bonnets and little girl dresses and deviled eggs and happy easter egg hunts!

Yes! Making your moon garden in the snake area would be so cool because the varying amounts of light would be so much more fun and interesting. I notice I’m enjoying parts of my garden which varying amounts of lights. The full sun parts have been boring.

Always love to watch allllll your ideas! Have a fabulous Friday 🌷🌷🌷

Yes, moon garden in the smaller section! 🌿✨

Can't wait to see what you do with the moon garden! Maybe a white lilac in place of the old one you want to take down? And the hyacinths arrangement, so creative! Just love your style!!

"You can see in his body language that he is thinking of something naughty to do." 🤣🤣🤣

Love the idea of the moon garden in the smaller area!

I think the area hugging the house would be great for the moon garden. To hide the utility pieces, it would look nice to have a white lattice fence that mirrors the angles of the side of the house. The walk path could hug the access gate of it before bowing out towards the driveway. I think a swooped walkpath through a moon garden would be super whimsical. The white lattice would fit right in with all the white and silver plants.

Go for the moon garden....I really think that's where your heart is leading you....can't wait to see the videos...love the containers with the spring bulbs...wish I had more room inside to do containers that size....have a great day and enjoy the sunshine....ps love love love the organized barn area...gives you some peace....

A big yes I agree with your second idea to put the moon garden closer to your house. To me a moon garden has a bit of mystery to it so in the big open area that might be lost. I can't wait to see the grass sprout in your mini hyacinth garden. Charming idea. I get such a kick out of watching your naughty kitties :-)

I think you are spot on with putting your moon garden by your house - especially since you'll have the opportunity to play a bit with sun and shade whites!

I want those planters, they are gorgeous. xx

I agree with putting it by the house. That will make a nice stroll during the evenings, almost magical ! Add a few night time lights here & there, plus with the light/shade differences , there will be a bigger variety of plants. Have fun !!!

I decided to do all white in my entire front yard to keep it pristine and timeless....and im already regretting it. I’ve worked in lots of pink now and just resigned to the fact that I’m not restrained enough for an all white garden. I plan to do a large bed on our side yard in all white to satisfy desire for a restrained pallet on a scale that my brain can actually handle 🤩

Looking forward to the hyacinth blooming...happy growing.

I agree with switching the moon garden. It will beautiful there, or anywhere really, bit especially in the more shaded area. Those are the sweetest little bunnies and the topiary pots are as well. If I were anywhere near you where I could visit your parents store, I would be broke all the time and yet I would still show up for every new shipment😊 Love hyacinths and what you've done with them here❣️

Your bunnies would look nice bronzed just like your girl statue ♥️

Oddly enough, the West Side of your garden was my favorite space! It's hardly seen in many of your videos but when you made that dedicated video featuring this garden, I fell in love! Even though it was a narrow strip with ac units, the well, and electrical boxes, you managed to make it feel so whimsical. I prefer the layered cottage look you had this past spring. It was amazing! All of the flowers and little spruces that led up to the Japanese maple and boxwood hedge was so magical! BUT I'm sure the moon garden idea will win anyway. But that's my two cents!

Laura, while I realize this video is about bulbs, can you give us (me-lol ) more info on sedums? I need ground covers for slopes. Thanks! 😉

I totally agree with you on the moon garden. The other side is a huge space for so many other beautiful things.

I love the moon gardens our family has planted over the years. I imagine that you've already planted moon gardens - when I try something new, I limit the planting to a small area. That way if I'm not in love with it, I haven't invested time and money in a larger space. Perhaps planting your moon garden near your home and a seating area would allow you easy access to the space and the furniture to fully enjoy it.

I think a moon garden next to the house would be lovely

I love the new addition to the intro. So cute! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Yes, do your white garden on the side with the HVAC units. Great idea!

I think the white garden close to the house would be nice because it's in dappled light and that would make it brighter, but I love the white garden over where the urns are. It looks so formal and the white looks so pretty with a gray urns.

I love the moon garden idea close to the house. It'll be awesome. I totally love the hyacinth planters with the grass. Can't wait for an update on that once it grows :)

I think the west side is a great space for the moon garden. I liked the white tones across the driveway, but that area would look fabulous with color too. Whatever you end up doing, it will be beautiful! I wish I had picked up some hyacinth bulbs. The arrangement will be so pretty when it blooms.
