Everytime I come to this site, I glorify God because in each plant, I see the creative, awesome beauty of God and am in awe!👏

I know many say they watch videos with their morning coffee. I watch them at lunch at school. My 4th graders come in and drop off their lunch bags. Hearing their comments and a “what’s she planting today?” makes me laugh. Yesterday someone asked how the sweet peas were doing. 🤣Today they enjoyed the lungwort blooms. A few of the boys told me their mother’s favorite flowers. ❤️❤️❤️

Videos like this are detrimental to my bank account. 🤑
But when Spring and Summer roll around it's all worth it. 😍

You showed the names and then the plants. You did an outstanding job. You chose perennials that are hardy so even a new gardener would have success with your suggestions.

The bed when Laura shows the Russian sage…what an ooo and ahh area! I do love how Laura explains things, and she is so full of joy when she gardens and talks about gardening. She is so inspirational!

My mom is a huge hosta lover. A lady in her neighborhood several years ago was cleaning out a bed of “Patriot” hostas and my mom took several home. They get huge in her garden! She doesn’t seem to do anything special but they just seem to love it. She also has some of the biggest and most beautiful “Colossal Blue” hostas I’ve ever seen! She bought them as bare roots at Costco years ago and they have thrived. Hostas don’t seem to mind the heat, oppressive humidity, and heavy clay soils of Alabama, in fact they seem to thrive in it. They do however seem to benefit from being mulched around to help hold the moisture in.

I appreciate how easy you are to listen to and how normal your videos are. You are just being you and doing your thing and not trying to be over the top or impressive and I appreciate that. Thank you.

When we first bought our 'forever' home, we spent half on perennials and half on annuals each year. We love the annuals for quick color and spreading to fill 'blank' areas, and the perennials obviously for the longevity. So each year we had less and less area to fill. Now we share our best perennials with our neighbors - black eyed susans, siberian irises, gladiolas, geraniums, and lots of others. So much fun!

I use these type of videos to familiarize myself with the names. When I go to the garden center and read the tags I think okay Laura has told me about this one.
I am enjoying my garden more this year than ever before. Thank you Laura.

In MO we call sedums " Live Forevers" . One only has to cut a branch off and stuck it in the ground, and it roots itself and becomes a plant!

[joanfarrell]

Excellent delivery. A true pro. Most enjoyably educational.

Thank you so much. I love that nearly everything you mentioned is deer resistant. I gave our local deer a $500 salad bar last year so I'm trying to get some some things that will make it this year.

[Denise_B]

That's what I love. I would rather perennials over annuals. If I am spending money on plants I want them to come back year after year. 💓 Thanks for the list.

[janeblake]

Very clear descriptions with sun, shade, part shade division - you have such infectious joy every gardener loves!

[Ivorymoana]

I love this!!! You are so pretty and I love your voice. I love how enthusiastic you are about plants. And how you’re so appreciative of your parents!! We had a 12” garden running between the driveway and the house next door growing up. My Grandma grew beautiful Lilies of the Valley in that long area. I planted a few in my front garden in her memory!!! OMG ! They are SO INVASIVE!! I’m still pulling them out 10 years later!! Same with the little pumpkins on a plant!! This video was so helpful as I live in a 6b area. I’m not a beginner gardener but I’m looking for more variety of perennials!! I use stonecrop as a ground cover but it’s out of control. As are the Hastas, day lilies, coneflowers and sedum. My husband can’t help himself from fertilizing and the sedum are enormous!! Thanks for all the ideas!! Another thought. How do I get my husband to stop getting grass clippings in my gardens? Every year, I spend so much time redoing my borders! I know he tries but one blade of grass is so invasive! I’ve tried rocks, bricks, edging, spraying vinegar carefully on the grass. I just had a knee replacement!! HELP

We had a customer come into our garden center today, asking about specific plants that she has seen in your videos 🥰 As soon as I heard “Garden Answer, ” I had to go over and chat with her. It was such a neat experience to discuss videos of plants and specific areas of your garden, and have her know exactly what I was talking about. She’s the first person from our teeny tiny Indiana town I’ve had come in and been able to do that with. So fun!

[asiaeyesgirl]

So happy I can walk into my local nursery and sound like a pro as I’m describing which perennials I’m looking for, though I’m a newbie gardener 🤣 the snobs will be impressed LOL!!! Thanks Laura!!!

[graynard]

I ran across your video while searching for a solution to an issue I’m having this year (2024).
Your video is wonderfully presented and I appreciate the category of plants based on their sun/shade requirements. Not only do you give names, but include pictures but let us know their maintenance requirements (or lack of) and sizes. You are my new resource for All Things Plants!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and genuine love of plants with us!!!

[jennifercooper]

This might be my very favorite video I’ve ever seen. Like, EVER! I was seeking some info to plan my landscape for curb appeal year-round but you make me feel inspired to take up gardening as a hobby. The way you love each plant in it’s own way is so charming. You are such a delight! Thank you for such a gem of information that was fun to watch. There are probably so many people that you’ve inspired and think of you as they garden. Thanks again!!

[pamelarichards]

Since watching Garden Answer I can proudly say I have MOST of the plants mentioned! Thank you Laura!
