Fun Landscape Project at Our Church Garden Answer Sweet: Love how the barricades were arranged horizontally. Literally turning something that would make for scarey/anxious feelings into a beautiful place for people to sit and be together! Thank you for showing us different projects like these. I feel like a sponge soaking up all of your design ideas. an area I need a lot of help with! Those little sedums would make a great addition to the boarder of a new bed I want to make next year. I love that Fluffy arb, too, but darn it's only a zone 5 and I need zone 4. Very cute though! Nice job Laura, Aaron, and the guy that's doing the rock pavers!

Love your videos, especially the planting videos. I've noticed you apply a healthy amount of Bio-Tone Starter in the bottom of every planting hole but I don't think I've ever seen you rake out the root roots or open up a root ball of any plants before you drop them in. Is that something you do and it doesn't make the video or do you feel it unnecessary? One more thing. When you talk about adding the drippers to each plan, could you throw in the flow rate drippers you use. Thanks for all the great tips.
Beautiful by the way.

When introducing a new plant you always talk about its hardiness ratings, but you usually focus on how cold tolerant it is. (Which makes sense for where you live) I live in zone 9 in south Alabama, and many of the plants you talk about are 3-8 or 5-8. Can you fudge the lines for heat tolerance like you do for cold tolerance? I know there are many, many plants we can grow in zone 9 that thrive here naturally, but I want to be able to plant things like Pinky Winky hydrangeas and this new sedum!

Those are basalt columns are native to the Inland Empire Snake/Columbia River area. The basalt poured out of the ground and then cooled so quickly it cracked like really wet mud will do when it dries quickly. And the basalt cracked deeply! Many people across the country wouldn't know what they are. Interesting thing is, its only since since the 90s (approximately) that the columns have been seen as a resource. Duh! : )

Red, Yellow and Blue are primary colors. Mixing variations of those colors is the basis of color theory. And of course, you can't avoid green in landscaping! Also, even if a leaf is red-ish, yellow-ish or blue-ish. they still all contain green chloroplasts to produce energy from the sun, so adding a true green color can unite all of the other colors together!

Hi Laura and Aaron! That area turned out so pretty! I'm excited to watch it all fill in. I love the way they used the pillars on their sides and that people can sit on them. Evan did a great job placing the rocks. I love the plants and trees you picked. Aaron, great job filming and loved the drone shots, as usual. Thank you for sharing!

I think the building is pretty ugly, and needs something special. Laura, Aaron, and Evan have done a very nice job indeed. Those horizontal columns look fab. Will be interesting to see that Siberian Cyprus grow. It is a very pretty plant. Looking forward to seeing what this area looks like after winter and into mid-spring.

16 plants, that is a widowbox for Laura. seriously, though, they will be beautiful. Love the seating on the columns. Oh, and I noticed at the beginning that the Gatsby star hydrangea looked like it was getting some good sunlight, so hopefully it will thrive in its location.

it looks great: ) also, as a european who is always struggling to envision/translate feet and inches (and fahrenheit, the small scale you put on the first plant only (for some reason, was a great help in envisioning how much the plant is gonna grow.

I think the giant stones are better for front protection and they are gorgeous. As soon as I saw them I thought they'd be good to sit on: . Great job with the plant selection. I now also use the same colours when I choose plants.
