I think the word “invasive” is over used these days. Lily of the valley spreads very gradually in the area you plant it but I don’t think it reseeds itself all over. It spreads by rhizomes which I think are easily removed because the don’t go very deep into the ground.
Could you please bring up to your viewers that using railroad tys that they are treated with creosote which is toxic and should not be used around growing food Also treated wood you purchase at big box store
Lily of the Valley isn't invasive in dryer climates. Laura lives in a dryer climate. Ontario, OR gets less than 10" of precipitation per year. Things are much less likely to get out of control without a lot of water. I live in a similar climate to Laura and Aaron. We get a couple more inches per year and my one Lili of the Valley that I moved from my old house, expecting it would spread, and I still only have 1. I feel fortunate that it's still alive. We started moving here in January of 2021.
Hey Laura and Aaron! So happy I made the cut! Sent in a couple videos but I probably didn’t edit it properly. Thanks again for sharing our fruit cage because we love it!!!
HELLO FROM TEXAS – Yep…..just grand as usual….look forward to this every Saturday. The people who send in their creative work… I'm always in awe at the different styles of gardening that is gifted to us. Truly, the Lord gives to us amazing bounty all around the world. Be safe everyone. Thank you all.
At 6:56 I loved the tree trunk with the pealing bark. Can you identify? So happy to see this ongoing series of your follower’s gardens as I’m hoping to replace an area of grass with more flowerbeds. These give me some great ideas on layout and plant combinations on a smaller scale.
I love these videos … just a comment though … it appears to me that a few pictures were missing when you were talking a a vineyard … I didn't see that picture … and I think that happened a couple other times I wasn't seeing what you described … I could be wrong …still loved it!

Good morning from Delaware GA friends.
Although I enjoy seeing Laura's expressions I rather see a full screen of the gardens. The small inset is ok.
Just inspirational.
Beautiful gardens! Thank you Laura for sharing. They are really inspiring.

Breathtaking to see all the different gardens.

Beautiful gardens!!!
Thanks!
I think that the plant that was similar to sea holly is Rattlesnake Master, but only the gardener could confirm.

I enjoy seeing the beautiful gardens too 🌺
I love this series. I have a very small garden and very little money. I'm also NOT a gardener. So these give me hope and inspiration. Thank you!
I have lily of the valley, but it is trapped inside ….porch steps,side of house, sidewalk, and driveway.
My word, there are some super talented and creative peeps out there!! I hope my garden is even half as pretty as these someday!

Lovely
I look forward to seeing these amazing gardens! Especially when we still have plenty of snow on the ground in WI.
