I think I'll be getting this one!
Laura I have a video idea - can you do a ordering plants online 101? This would be for us inexperienced folks amongst your viewers. Things like what size plant to order, how to think about the zone of your plant depending on the purpose, how to shop for plants that go well together carewise, etc. Sort of like how you did for how to build a garden from scratch, but this would be zooming in just into the plant ordering step. You could navigate proven winners or another website as you explain. It could also include how to physically shop for plants at an actual garden center. Thanks!

Hey everyone! There's been quite a bit of confusion regarding the mature width of this arb. The Proven Winner's website states that it grows 5-10' wide, the plant tag (which is what I was using for my info) says 2-3' wide. Both are wrong! So, I contacted the grower and they confirmed that actual width is somewhere between 3-6' wide. I'm going to leave Fluffy in her spot for now. Since she's not receiving full FULL sun, she may stay on the more narrow side of things. I'll keep you updated, and I'm SO sorry about the confusion! We try really hard to have correct info all the time.

Hi Laura,
I have daylilies in my yard and I've noticed they're shedding a good amount of leaves and they just don't seem to be as happy as ones we've had in the past. I live in a zone 9 and it gets very hot. I also have a beautiful crape myrtle and its leaves are turning brown and dropping and it just finished blooming. Its confusing to me because the other two crape myrtles I have are still blooming and a beautiful dark green. If u have any tips for me I'd really appreciate it.

Help Laura! I have beautiful 20 year old arborvitae in my backyard surrounding a paved patio that my husband and I put in. All of a sudden a few weeks ago, the most majestic one started turning brown. The others are fine. No bag worms! What could be wrong with it as it is deteriorating fast. What should I do? Ive had the suggestion given to me to leave it alone until next spring. What are your thoughts?

Coffee with Laura and planting a beautifully colored Arborvitae! That light green color is so fun and just adds a pop in the garden. So neat to see the way the other Arbs have grown as I remember watching the video where you planted them. Would love to get some of these on our playground as I think the children would enjoy the fluffy appearance! Another plant for the list!

Because of your arborvitae videos weve decided to plant around 20 of them at the bottom of our backyard hill. It will hide our neighbors fence and give us some privacy. Weve read that they dont do well if you have spider mites. We seem to have those for about 6 weeks every summer, and then they disappear. Well see next spring how things go. Thanks for the inspiration.

I have always wondered if you are close friends with P. Allen Smith? I have always loved watching his videos for years and years, and I equally love you guys. Your gardening styles are so similar it is neat, I remember him even mentioning his feelings about red flowers not being his favorite, I love having red flowers so it stood out, anyway I love you guys!

Thank you Laura, I find it very relaxing to watch you plant things and it's very satisfying to see. I'm really loving this beautiful Arborvitae, not sure if I have the room in my yard to plant one, I will have to re-evaluate my space and see if I can fit one in. Awesome video, thanks to you and Aaron for another great video, bye for now.
