My family thought I was crazy for cutting down the palm trees in our backyard, they were not healthy at the base and blocked our water view. A few weeks later we had Hurricane Michael and I know they would have blown over and hit our house if we had not taken them down. It's your property, your decision. I know what you put in there will be wonderful and you'll enjoy it. 🍃

I have a love/hate relationship with clearing out my containers after summer. I hate seeing the pretty blooms go, but I also love to do something no-maintenance in them for the winter months. In this video I got the estate planters at the entrance of our property cleared out and outfitted with a new, bright centerpiece. Perfect for Christmas! Can’t wait to complete the project in a couple weeks when I can get my hands on some evergreen boughs! Thanks for watching! 😊 ❤️ ~Laura

I have put off cutting down my Elephant Ear plants because they still look good but need to do it this weekend so I can make sure they survive the winter. I Iove this idea with lit branches for the winter and will definitely be stealing this idea. Thank you!

The night time drone views when all projects are complete will be spectacular. The count down begins. Has Aaron ever thought of a go pro cam for Russell?

Valerie Howden, I love this idea. It would be interesting to see things from Russell's point of view as well as what he gets up to when no one is watching him.

I'm a little lost Valerie, but what is a go pro cam for Russell?

@patricianichols4491

Go pro cameras are small cams you connect to actual *mobile* devices. For example- you can clamp one onto the handle of your bike and film while biking down a mountain...or skiing. Swimming or skydiving. They are used in many applications by amateur bloggersand professional film makers alike. And yes, as was suggested, there is a harnessing device where a pet can safely wear one and walk about freely while filming from their vantage point. So we the viewer see.....through their eyes. It's quite fun. I LOVE the theory myself. Another vote for the Russell-cam if you get him to wear it guys...... 👍 #RussellRULES🐈

The cinder block is a great idea!

Russell is such a character and a cool comedic addition to your vids! 😻

I agree - if you don’t love something in your garden, change it. If you need to change something to not use chemicals, do it! If you can recycle a plant from your garden by giving it to someone else, great!! This is responsible gardening.

AH yes! "Responsible Gardening" could be a channel name :)

Russell takes his Garden Answer mascot duties very seriously. I love how he "supervises" every project. 🐈 The lighted tree branches look so pretty! I can't wait to see the completed project. I'm on a tight budget now and can no longer decorate with outdoor lights due to the increase in electricity consumption, even using only LEDs. I miss the lights and was disappointed to not be able to use them. However, your projects have me thinking of ways to use natural elements for decoration, and perhaps even use some battery operated lights. Thank you for the inspiration! 🎄

Beach Seeker buy some solar lights, that’s what I mostly use. You can get 2 long strings for 15.00 or less on amazon.

Tammy Douglas, thank you for the suggestion!

Love the close-up when Russell got a scare from the motor. He's so funny!

Amen, Sister! It's *your* garden, *your* masterpiece - you do what you need to, to create an environment that brings you joy! And if that means pulling a disease-prone tree, oh well. Love and support to you!

Good morning, Laura. Thank you for showing us the process of your winter planters. Beautiful winter interest. Love the lights. Here in Wisconsin I like using red twig dogwoods especially the older branches that are thicker and very sturdy. This gives us color until Spring. First snow this morning and the landscape is look GORGEOUS.

The fairy lights are beautiful. We should have them all year around. They make you smile and puts you in a good mood. Thanks for sharing. I hope you don’t get discouraged from anyone posting negative comments-your garden is lovely!

Rainy Days why not all year? I do :)

That is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your process. It's the little tips and tricks that make it the most successful. I love the final effect of the branches with the lights. It's the perfect center piece. I can't wait to see the finished design. Watching your videos is rubbing off on me - I went out and bought all my Christmas supplies for our very first full sized tree!

You are so creative! Now I will be looking at my trees differently.

Laura & Aaron, I think what I love about your channel is that you remind me of important things to consider when designing or choosing plants is, to think about maintenance even during winter, and to choose plants appropriate for my region, especially disease and pest resistance. It's so easy to forget that when looking at catalogs or even the local big box stores that sell plants that really are not good for my location. Thanks for your good work :)

I love your little Russell. He is so cute, when you started the lawnmower he jumped & ran. Too cute! I think your right about the fairy lights on your branches. I think it will be magical. Good luck & have fun.

It's your garden!! If you don't like it... do what you need to, and what feels right! Besides... it all looks so beautiful!!!!👍💪😊

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this already and I can't wait to see when you add the greens. I want to do something like this at my house now...I need those lights! So beautiful!

Laura, I admire your hard work and creativity. Though not yet completed, this centerpiece is already overwhelmingly gorgeous !! Thank you for sharing with your viewers yet another way in which you can take the ordinary and make it EXTRAORDINARY !!

Your winter display turned out so beautiful! You both work so hard it is unbelievable! You are definitely the Dynamic Duo of Gardening! Happy Holidays.

Omg your winter planters always come out so great! I love you can incorporate winter decorations with plants during the freezing winter

What a good idea to use cinder blocks in windy states. Love the lights going to be beautiful.👍😍👍. Have a wonderful day🎄

This is fabulous!! I love your ideas and the process. I always learn so much! I'm going to be implementing this idea on a much smaller scale in a winter pot on our front porch. I already have the fairy lights!!!🎄✨💚

Thank you for sharing all the details! Can’t wait to see the final arrangement! Already looks amazing! Please do a video with Aaron decorating the large evergreen tree!!! I’m wanting to decorate a huge evergreen in my yard and don’t know where to begin!

Omg that clip where Russell took off!! My cat hated the sound of the garbage truck when it came by. She would go crazy

I love seeing your enthusiasm, your energy and your inspirational talents. Thank you for all you do to bring the beauty of nature to all of us❤️

You are one amazing person.

It is so fun to watch all of your plans, can't wait to see everything put together!!

This is an awesome display, I can't wait to see it all completed! You absolutely amaze me with what you do and your knowledge. You have a beautiful home and grounds and something so many just dream of. Beautiful and you both take such good care and concern with it all. Just lovely and so very amazing. I love a home that is loved and it then exudes love within also. Thank you for all you do and how much you share of your knowledge. Loving my views of your videos. Blessings

I love this!!! going to try it (smaller version) VERY neat idea. Laura always thinking and creating! I got my 150 bulbs in just in time in the east. It's going to be COLD this weekend. To all your followers I used Espoma soil perfector, hardware cloth, and bulb cages to plant tulips, hyacinths, and muscari . We will see if that stops rabbits, voles, squirrels, ground hogs etc in Nj! Keep you posted! Looking forward to Christmas light videos from the drone :-)

Well you just helped me with my decision to remove a blue spruce with fungus. I don't like the worry that comes with sick tress. I don't want to stress I want to enjoy my plants and trees. So no I just have to figure out what does well as winter interest at the front corner of my home. Thanks again for all your great ideas.

Great idea to use the cinder blocks as frogs. It already looks stunning and I cant wait to see the final version.

Oh my goodness!! It's already so pretty, so I can't wait until you get them finished off with greenery & berry branches coupled with "Mr. Christmas'" light display! 🎄❄🎅

I am glad you showed the fairy lights, I was looking at them in the store and thinking they were too delicate looking to have any real impact for outdoors. Love the warm light they give, very inviting!

Never thought of going in the woods and getting clippings to put in containers. Oh wow, I'm learning so much. Can't wait for next year. It's January here now and a little late to put up something now. Your tutorials are so informative. Also, I do the same thing as far as removing something from my landscaping. If it looks bad, scrappy, or I just don't like it, it's out of here. lol I like a tailored look in my yard. The people that owned the house before us liked a wild look. I have slowly changed every thing. I gave a lot of the stuff to neighbors and they thought I was nuts in the beginning. Now they slow down and look at our pretty yard. They are always asking me what plant that is planted over there and then I see it in their yard. lol

Wow looks fantastic!!!! I can't wait to see it all done.

Love the fairy lights. You both do a great job at Christmas. Sure gets me in the mood for the holidays! Thanks!!

Love it, can't wait to see the end results. You have such a great eye for landscaping and decorating. Love watching your channel. Can't believe how fast Benjamin is growing. He's so adorable. Love your family.

What a Great idea Laura ! I Love it ... The fairy lights are so pretty on the Branches, can't wait to see how you finish it with the Greens. You gave me some really good ideas ! I'm gonna go out and look for branches ... 😄 Always enjoy your videos !

Love it so much! I don't have a garden but it's my dream so I love to see your videos. I just picture my self one day working on my garden. It makes me happy ☺.

What a perfect way to start my day! A new Christmas project from Laura, and Russel hamming it up in the background!!!💕😻🎄💕 I love what you've done so far, can't wait to see it all completed!!!! 💕💕💕💕

Thank you for the inspiration!!! We had a couple of trees blow over in a recent storm and I will now use the branches in my containers. Love your channel!

Love that you’re showing us start to finish. I can’t wait to see what’s next in the project! Thanks for sharing all you do. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing your creativity and knowledge. Thank you!!!

I love this!! I love little white lights. I think I want to try this small scale with some of my Fruitless Mulberry branches! Can't wait to see it finished!!

Beautiful beginning, cant wait to see ALL of the lighting around the house. 💝

Amazing! So beautiful! Love the arrangement and the fairy lights!!! ❣

Love how whimsical and magical this looks. Hope you take us along to the mountain when you cut greenery. All your hard work pays off. Y’all have a beautiful garden all year long. 🎄🎄🎄

it.s an old property with plants that are also old...glad to see you be tough and insist on responsible maintenance in both the home and its property. you inspire me to do the best i can!!!

Wow! That's a lot of work! I love those fairy lights! Can't wait to see the finished project!

Love how resourceful (& yes, I agree, responsible) you are in your project creations-utilizing nature & beauty you already have around you rather than buying all commercial decorations.

Absolutely love the branches.hugs to Russell

Laura, that looks AMAZING, can t wait to see the finished result

I discovered these fairy lights last winter! They look so beautiful on your pots, can’t wait for this finished project and all the lights Aaron has done!!

Good call on the fairy lights! That’s going to look fantastic. Can’t wait to see the end result!

Amazing! Well done! Lovely use for willow branches. And you have planted so many trees and shrubs in the garden, so thank you! It's completely understandable to want to take a tree down early, knowing the headache it would give you and the horrible chemicals you'd bring into your garden. Look forward to seeing your lights when you both are finished!

They look awesome, Cant wait to see your project finished. All trees have a lifetime just as all living things do. Your a very conscientious gardener, no need to explain. Much better for your family and the environment to have healthy trees in your garden. Really enjoy your videos.

Love this! Can't wait to see the finished product so I can replicate it (on a smaller scale) in my garden!

Another inspiring project and thank you for the block hint. You do not have to justify anything you do with your trees or plants. Your property, your plan, your decision. I'm going to go out now and see if I can find a place to make a light arrangement!

Cinder block!! Great idea. It looks fab already.

GOSH I love that so much!!! It was fun to see your excitement too! If I lived near by, I would want to walk past your home every single day. It gives off such a wonderful feeling!

Beautiful. Can't wait to see your place a done and lit up.

It looks beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished product. I love your excitement! 😄

Magical! Love fairy lights, I use them a lot 🌸

Gorgeous. I love the look of lights. You did such a great job. Can't wait for part 2.

Beautiful so happy to see such wonderful projects

Beautiful, can't wait to see the finished project!

Laura, those look amazing! I can’t wait to see part 2.

What a beautiful idea! Looks so pretty, can hardly wait to see the final project!

Yet another great very festive project.. I love lights for any reason, I love those fairy lights! Those branches look so pretty! Thank you for capturing and sharing it with us!

This was amazing and very inspiring video Laura. I love the idea you had. I think I'll do the same but use straight branches to make a teepee and then add lights to it. I also love the part where Russell jumped in the air when you started your cart. Laura you guys know how to take use fans and viewers to Idaho. Your not alone when you shoot videos and that's from the heart. Good bless you all.

Your place would be magical come this christmas time..so excited for the finished output of decorations and lights!

They look very majestic.

You need a bigger private drive sign and maybe more than one. Lovely lights.

Russell is the perfect helper!!!!!

Growing up I was # 6 kid and got to watch all my siblings help my parents decorate for Christmas each year! We had a tree as big on our property, at least it was big when I came along:) The star on top remained on it because it grew too tall! Can't wait to see your baby boy's eyes with all the lights!!

Great job, Laura! You work so hard and the results are always dazzling. Keep it up!

Wow!!! It looks so amazing Laura. 🌲🎄🌲🍁🍂🍁🌲

Beautiful.... I can’t wait to see finished project!

That looks amazing!!😍😍😍 Can't wait to see your entire home lit up!!🎄

Hi guys ...I was so happy to see a new video from you this morning, you totally got my morning off to a great start! Wow those LED fairy lights really make a statement! I certainly didn't expect them to be so bright, also I love the idea of using a cinder block as a frog in those huge planters... how inspiring! And Arron, your editing is great (I didn't have to stop and go back to see Russell's antics)! However I'll rewatch the whole video again (including the ads) just because I enjoy it and to see if there was anything I missed the first time. I can't wait for part 2!

Oh my goodness. 😍😍😍😍😍 Soooo beautiful! I now need to get some of those fairy lights! Thank you so very much!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊 You made me so excited to decorate for Christmas!!!!!

Beautiful! I’m surprised with how bright the fairy lights are topcoat but they’re perfect! Bring on part 2!

Brava Laura! Very lovely. Can't wait to see the next episode. And never feel you have to justify planting or removing trees in your yard. You know your garden...we do not! You and Aaron are very thoughtful in all you do. Thank you for sharing your garden with us.

The lights are perfect!

Very clever. Very, very appealing. Thanks for sharing this project

Im sure they're going to look Awesome for the season, I love these great ideas!

Good morning Laura! I am drinking my coffee and watching this video which has inspired me to try the same thing ! I just ordered fairy lights from Garden Supply and look forward to the completion of this new project. My current planter is still decked out like the Halloween video ...crows and all. Love these videos!!!! Thank you so much. P.S. I appreciate the quality of the videos too...

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS-HAVE FUN FINISHING IT.

You never cease to amaze me. You truly are a genius in the garden!!!

Wow! That makes an impact

I love your lighted branches !

Wow! Magical! Will have to see if I can find outdoor fairy lights, haven't seen then before.

Samantha Barris yes they even make solar. If you’re in a cold place they don’t stay lit long because cold sucks up batteries.

Love the result! Will look even more super amazing with all of the other lights and greenery! Thank you for the CMU block idea! I will try that for weight and stability for a branch tree forest I am going to try this year!

beautiful branches and lights you and hubby work so good together the yard and house will look so good for christmas

Love the light.

Oh wow! What a great idea! I may try it this Christmas too. It looks beautiful Laura.

So glad I discovered your channel! I love watching what you do. Thank you!

Beautiful, so anxious to see the completed project!!

Can not wait to see them finished. Looks great so far.

❄️☃️I cannot wait to see the rest!!!!!!!!!☃️❄️

How amazing these look. It's so nice to see you getting ready for the festive season. It's not the same here in N.Z. when it's so hot for Christmas. I miss the cosiness of the fire and hot food.
