May Garden Tour! 🌿💚🌿 // Garden Answer 

When I saw a Saturday morning video was on, I felt like a kid again fixing to watching my favorite cartoon…except now it’s garden tours! It’s going to be a glorious Saturday!! 🥳🥳

The single red tulip made my smile and cry. I had a beloved dog named Obi that loved to garden with me. He wasn’t a digger but he loved to shake my weed clumps and dirt would go everywhere. He was known for picking up a bulb or two and then in the spring I’d wonder how things got there. After he passed I’d find a single red tulip in various places in my garden where I’d never planted tulips. I’d see them on a walk. I haven’t seen one yet this year and low and behold, there is one in Laura’s garden. “Hi Obi! Thanks for saying hello.” I watch your videos every day. You couldn’t ask for a better garden puppy than Obi. He must know that I do. ❤️❤️❤️

Have you ever considered adding “scenes from your garden” at the end of your daily videos. Highlighting what is happening in your garden. No talking, just sweet music, film clips and stills. At the end of each month you could compile them into one long video like a monthly stroll through your garden highlight reel.

Hey guys! Just gotta say I’ve always admired your full disclosure- kids toys,aphids,single bloomers,hair strain standing at attention,dead spruce ,face full of dirt and the infamous dirty diaper on the front porch….lol 😂just to name a few of my favorite thing’s as why I enjoy you guys every morning! Thank you for your honest service 💚✨🪴☕️

Congratulations, you’ve officially made it. My 2.5 year old heard your voice and said “oh the garden teacher is on” 😂😂😂 that sums up how we feel about you and Aaron in this house!

What a wonderful Saturday surprise! Thanks Laura and Aaron! 💐

One lone tulip, thank you Squirrel Friends. They do that to me every year. Thanks for the bonus video this week. 😄

Your narration of tours is most animated and enthusiastic when Aaron is behind the camera. Just thinking about how well you two work together and have positive energy all the time!

The tulips in front of the Hartley are extraordinary-it’s like one of the best European botanical gardens.

Good job Aaron in keeping up with Laura as she is running around and showing us the gardens. That is talent!!😂😂 and good job Russell for helping Laura showcase the incredible gardens.

You need to do family pictures in your orchard . Would be so pretty.

The meadow is so lovely! It would be neat if you seeded a couple types native wildflowers to add some color for the rest of summer. It’s so sweet to see the blooms interspersed with the grass.

When you showed the tulips in from of the Hartley, I couldn't help but think one day Benjamin and Samantha will want their weddings here.

Russell looks especially majestic today! And the 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 tulips look nice too. ❤️

I look at the beautiful grass and then remembered the dust blowing everywhere that you used to have from before. Great job Aaron!

New goal: fill 1 seed tray of goodies while coffee is brewing and finish before GA video pops up 🎉❤

Luv luv luv that picture of Russell grandly sitting in front of that beautiful show of tulips. Such a sweet luvbug. Lost both of my senior cats over the last year. They brought such joy. So appreciate seeing the love Russell has for his mama. ❤❤

I don't know why you tell Aaron not to show your garden fails. We all want to see them. Everybody has them and it's depressing if you think you're the only one killing things. Your garden is so so pretty, thanks for sharing! I especially love the sanne tulips and the perfect purple

Dear Laura & Dear Aaron, your garden is beyond gorgeous and the gardening season just started. Can't wait to see the sommer and autumn season. I wish you would offer an annual wall calendar, XXL, with beautiful pictures of your garden for every month. That would be amazing! God bless you all!

Watching this in 4K is a real feast for my eyes thank you!😍😍It wasn’t that long ago the south garden side was just barren land and now there’s just beauty EVERYWHERE - love it 🥰

Squirrels rearrange my tulips often! 🌷

The masses of tulips are striking! And those singles in the urns and grass are amusing ;). The orchard space is dreamy! Love these successive garden tours 💛🌱.

Two things here, If ColorBlends ever needed an ad for their tulips, the shot of the four beds by the Hartley with the redbud in the background is absolutely STUNNING! And I find it funny that you explain your reasoning for planting boxwoods, because they can handle both sun and shade, when we know that you can't not put boxwoods in your gardens!! Loved all the color this tour!

The garden looks absolutely breathtaking. Pure joy and excitement radiates off of you Laura during this walk through. I have watched this channel for many years now and every time you plant something and say "just imagine" just know I will still be with you, as I am sure many views will, to see this all come together. Thank you for all that you and your family do. It honestly is greatly appreciated.

I was waiting for Laura to highlight the lawn, so glad you did in addition to all the plants and bulbs.

I started gardening just two years ago. This is my third year gardening. I have learned how to grow vegetables and have a pretty big garden this year and have feel mostly successful. Now my goal is to learn how to landscape and be as successful with flowers and shrubs in our yard. I know I’ve found the right channel to help me learn and be successful!

Watching the South Garden be planted from bare bones to now has taught me so much. I've gardened for 30+ years but your videos have imprinted the names of so many perennials in my memory. I've become so much more familiar with growth habits and sizes of so many plants after all your videos.

Enjoyed the tour. Do you ever just pinch yourselves? You both have accomplished so much in a little time. Amazing 🙌🏻.

Great seeing the dead spruce as it makes us see the good and bad, especially from a professional like you. It makes us know we are not alone

Love seeing the kids toys & chalk art sidewalk out as part of the tour! So happy that you let your kids play around the garden. Teaches them to enjoy the gardens without destroying the beautiful plants.

Laura & Aaron it all is so lovely! OPINION: You commented on the front walkways flower bed about it not being big enough. When you plant something in there, maybe all the same (even if you wouldn’t) with all your flowers everywhere I wouldn’t think anyone would say, that flower bed is not wide enough. They will be looking at everything and it will be beautiful. The grass looks so beautiful the edge is already done so nicely, why make extra work on yourself. 😊☀️🌷

I *love* how the red tulip makes its appearance every year and in different locations. Best. Prank. Ever. For Laura.

My mind stores the strangest information. Back when you had the little front gate and the old lilac, that was overrun by an aggressive climber. I remember that was where you had red tulips before from the previous owners. If that's not where that flower bed was then maybe it got tossed around in the grading or irrigation process. Random thoughts. :D Thank you for all you do.

Thanks so much, Laura and Aaron. The property is looking drop dead gorgeous, so your hard work is paying off. Happy Mother’s Day, Laura, and to yours and Aaron’s Moms for raising awesome children. ❤😊❤!

An idea.... In the middle of the cut flower garden, how about a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs? You could sit there at night I the middle of all your lovely flowers!

What a bonus! Saturday garden tour! Yay! Those tulips behind the Hartley are spectacular! And look at Russell posing like a model! He couldn’t do it better unless he stood up and pointed at them. 💚💚💚

Aaron gets a thumbs up from this lawn dude! 👍🏼👍🏼

A cup of coffee and Garden Answer. Two essentials! Thanks for sharing your crazy gardening skills with us!

For those of us who have been here for years, we stay bc we know that the result will be glorious. Not every plant will survive, but seeing the hard work pays off. Wonderful tour and thanks for taking us on your journey

Seeing the impact of the trees planted last year really is thrilling 😊

I just love the way Russell follows you around during the tours!! He’s so cute!!

So happy we get to see the blooms this year. So wonderful.

Everything is coming together. Only secret is work and it shows. Thanks for nice views of the property.

Coffee in the morning with Garden Answer! I enjoy all your videos and love the fact that you also show the failures. No matter how experienced you are, stuff happens. I also enjoy your enthusiasm and energy. I also feel that enthusiasm, however as I get older the energy passes quickly. I find I have to get out in the garden early before my body realizes what I’m up to! 😉 Keep up the good work; your garden is beautiful ❤

Good morning! 🌻🐝

What an interesting and educational video. I saw a few things I have never heard of. You guys are such hard workers. I am impressed beyond words. I can picture Benjamin playing baseball someday in the lawn his Daddy worked so hard on. Thank you so much for the amazing tour! 🌞🌼❤️ P.S. Russell cracks me up. 😂🐈 He thinks the greenhouse was built just for him. 🤣

What a treat to see your gardens in such a explosion of color. You are such an inspiration and the joy in voice so encouraging to get out there and just try something new. I’m definitely doing planters in the fall of tulips 🌷 for spring color.

I know it's painful, but I really appreciate when you disclose tree troubles and the details of the situations. It is so encouraging for me, as I have plenty of my own tree troubles. We live on a windy hill in Oklahoma with red clay, and what I most want are lush trees surrounding me. I get very discouraged by how much failure I have with regard to planting trees, but it helps me to see when you have the same problems. Y'all are great, thank you!

The LeBoutillier Botanical Garden. Gorgeous!

Good morning Laura and Aaron! May I say Aaron, the grass is spectacular! What a lush front yard for the kids to play in, and the pathways are well on their way. Please give a drone shot at the end of the season. It will be inspiring! Hugs from N.C..❤️

I love it when you film and the kids toys and games in the video.

Laura, You had a vision and transformed the Mars landscape! We wanted to see the incredible transformation and what can be done with a space. Thank you for taking us along with your vision.

Laura, the"Shining Moment" in spring displays was really funny! Anyone that knows you, seeing 1 or 2 tulips in a container know that something wasn't right. But it was still a cute way to address it, because I almost was like "Yes, let's see the beautiful container!" LOL

Hey Laura & Aaron! I had left a comment on yesterday's or the day before video. Suggested that Aaron get out his trusty drone and do a fly through and over while all the bulbs are blooming together. It's amazing how the cooler spring has allowed many of the various bulbs, trees and plants to all be blooming at the same time. That doesn't really happen very often and would be phenomenal to capture with the drone. Just a thought while everything is looking so wonderful.

Time 7:23 Northern calif but I usually watch around 4:30 in the morning been watching since just before you guys moved in your amazing place. Just wanted to say everything is looking Marvelous Good-Job you guys should win some kind of garden globe award Seriously! I'm 75 retired and never miss one of your videos.❤ Love you all

All your different varieties of tulips are amazing. Everything looks great

I love these tours, the property is just beautiful. I’ve only been with the channel a year or so and I did go back to the gardens when you first moved there, and while beautiful it’s just peaceful and stunning now. The old gardens were a lil busy lol.

Just absolutely GORGEOUS! The Hartley should be feature in the Magazine. 💜🌷🌷

My happy place! Thanks for a Saturday morning video! Sat down with my coffee and was thrilled to see a garden tour. Everything is looking gorgeous.

You need a bench over the storm sewer! And I love the white tulips by the Hartley with the pink Sanne's in the beds!

The video of you moving that redbud is probably my favorite of all your videos. It’s hilarious and shows what we gardeners go through for our craft! Lol.

What a treat ❤ I will take garden tours every week if it was possible 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank goodness for sharing

A Coronation 👑 AND a Garden Tour! HIP HIP HORRAY!👑💚🌿

The flowers are so beautiful and I really love the statues,water fountains and flower pots. It is a beautiful picture especially with the statues. Oh my goodness the tulips are so pretty. Have a wonderful day Laura and Aaron. Pat in North Carolina.

Wow! The reminder of what you started with and how it looks now is stunning! Love watching all do and your ideas! Missing your drone footage Aaron!

stunning view of the Hartley from the brick area.

Aaron does an absolutely beautiful job on that lawn!

Wow! Every bit of your hard work and dedication is worth all the beauty in your world! Thanks for sharing. I so enjoy watching and getting an education every day! I can see your enthusiasm and joy in your garden and home!❤😊🌷🌹🌳🌲🌻🌼

How fun to bless us with a tour on a Saturday! Beautiful blooms😍

While you were talking about the high tunnels, there was an animal that ran through the fence in the background!! Did you see that?! What was that?! 😮

You wonder why we've stuck around? Well, watching you transform that space has been amazing. It's been educational to see how you've tackled it with the infrastructure going in first. But you also have brightened it with temporary things like your first cut flower garden with the rows of tomato plants. It's also interesting to see how your ideas change once you have things in place. Seeing you add things bit by bit and watch it fill out is just a thrill.

All Beautiful!!! Also, a shout out to Aaron for the awesome looking grass!!!

Oh what a nice surprise! 🌷💚🙃

Beautiful start to my Saturday.

Johann Cruyff - famous dutch soccer player who then went to Spain to influence futbol (soccer) in Spain for generations. So glad that a tulip was named after him!

The tulips at the Hartley!...👏👏👏

Everything looks spectacular especially with the contrast of the beautiful green lawn areas! Great Spring video tour! This shows all the work that has been done over the past year!

Yay I love a great surprise on a Saturday morning!!!! 🎉🌱

Johann Crieff was a world famous Dutch soccer player . Great to have a tulip named after him😀

If I could load a picture I could show you what the Camassia look like. I loved them so much that I have about 300 of them.

Yay! Thank you for the surprise garden tour Saturday video!!! I grabbed a cup of coffee, jumped back in bed and now I'm ready to enjoy viewing all of your spring blooms! You guys are such hard workers and I'm so appreciative that you share all of this with us. Everything looks amazing! Thank you!

That is actually "a host of golden daffodils". And those tulips... So pretty.

FABULOUS TOUR 🐈 we love it when the kitties apoear

Saturday garden tour!!! And your Vans are back! 🌹🐆🌹

I love the fluffy look of those topiaries! I think it looks more natural and modern than the perfectly manicured ones. I’d go with it!

Lovely tour and really great to see how much growth in short period of time. At about 15:44 when the cat was in greenhouse it made me think about this, maybe it would be good idea to put a large very shallow pan of water with a rock in the pan so in case the a cat or other critters such as anoles, geckos, frogs, toads, and such critters get trapped inside the Hartley.

What? You're kidding me. When I was stripping my bed to wash the sheets I felt slightly disappointed when I realised that there wouldn't be a Garden Answer video this morning, being Sunday here in Adelaide South Australia. I thought about how once upon a time we used to be blessed with daily videos. After tending to all the cats, I put the kettle on. Went and got my phone. Went straight to RU-vid and low and behold this video at it's normal spot at the top of the offers to watch. I couldn't believe my eyes and then to notice it's a long one and a tour.... Yippee x Thank you so very, very much for sharing your precious time with me and all of us. I'm writing this before I start, going to make my pot of tea first. This is so exciting. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all involved.... AWESOME you guys... 🎼Oh happy day! 🧡💛😁🙏😇🇦🇺🕊️

One my way back to Utah, I decided to stay the night in your hometown. Saturday morning I made it to your parents garden center. Bought a bleeding heart, a variegated hosta, a dwarf hosta, flower pots for the new plants, and a tall weeding tool. These are gifts to my 2 sisters for Mother’s Day. It was a pleasure to have meet your mom in the garden busily prettying some plants. What a beautiful place to be in! It really is as neat and organize as in your videos.

Saturday garden tour, wow, I love it. Everything is looking amazing. Thank you for the updates.

Hooray, a Saturday Tour Video. You made my weekend. Thank you so much! Everything is looking so lovely.

The white tulips in front of the Hartley look so elegant - I would say "perfection"....

Kitty has 6 toes. What a doll.

Thank you Laura and Aaron for the the enjoyable tour! I have the Sanne tulip in an area that is part shade amongst heuchera, hellebores, ferns, astrantia, astilbe and they have perennialized beautifully after 4 years. They are blooming right now in southern Wisconsin. Hopefully yours will perennialize also. This video inspires me to order more fall bulbs today.

whew ... I'm exhausted - but in the best kinda way. It is absolutely mind-blowing what y'all have accomplished in just a few years. It's been a great adventure and I'm so happy y'all have chosen to share it with us !!!

Laura, you should get some family photos taken in your orchard in time; I can see you all in white cotton and linen, straw hats and that gorgeous dappled light through the fruit trees.

Your deep love of growing things shines through in your words❤️💜As for following your family’s progress through these years, the pleasure was all ours!

A SATURDAY VIDEO!!!! Laura & Aaron, thank you for loving us! 🥰

Such a treat to have an additional video, thanks guys, vey much appreciated. Documenting the garden progress in video is wonderful as you can look back a couple of years and compare just how far you’ve come in a very short period.

Such a beautiful garden! Our climate is too warm for tulips, so it was a treat to see yours❤. Your garden is maturing beautifully. Thanks for sharing with us.

Today was one of those days when I read the title of the video, paused it, and ran to watch on the big tv screen! 😂 Love the garden tours!!
