Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! Today, we have some sad news to share, particularly for those of you who have been long-time fans of "This Old House." Roger Cook, the beloved landscaper who was a mainstay on the show for decades, has sadly passed away at the age of 70. It’s a loss that has touched many of us deeply, as Roger was more than just a familiar face on television—he was like a friend who guided us through every garden project, big or small.

Roger Cook wasn’t just a landscaper on "This Old House." To millions of viewers, he was a source of inspiration, a friendly face who made us feel like we could tackle any landscaping challenge. For over 35 years, Roger brought his warmth, expertise, and passion for gardening into our living rooms, making complex projects look easy and even fun. Remember those times when Roger would get his hands dirty, explaining every step with patience and a smile? He was the guy who made you believe you could transform your backyard into a paradise, no matter how daunting it seemed at first.

Roger's journey with "This Old House" began back in 1982 when he started making guest appearances. His talent and genuine passion for his work quickly shone through, and it wasn’t long before he became a beloved regular. By 1988, Roger was officially the landscape contractor for the show. And that’s when the magic really began. Week after week, season after season, Roger would show up with his vast knowledge of plants, his creative design ideas, and his unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship. He had a unique ability to make even the most complicated landscaping projects seem approachable and manageable for the average homeowner.

One of the things that made Roger so special was his approach to landscaping. It wasn't just about planting trees or laying down sod for him; it was about creating spaces that brought people together, spaces that families could enjoy for generations. Roger understood that a yard wasn’t just a piece of land—it was an extension of your home, a place where memories are made. He taught us that with the right vision and a bit of elbow grease, you could turn any outdoor area into something beautiful and meaningful. And let’s not forget his love for the environment. Roger was a champion of sustainable gardening practices long before it was trendy. He always emphasized using native plants, conserving water, and creating habitats that were friendly to local wildlife.

But Roger’s story isn’t just about his professional achievements. It’s also a story of resilience and passion. In recent years, Roger faced several health challenges that forced him to step back from his role on the show in 2018. It was a difficult decision, both for him and for his fans, who had grown to love his presence on screen. Even then, Roger’s connection with the audience never wavered. He continued to inspire people from behind the scenes, sharing his love for landscaping and his belief in the healing power of nature. Roger often said that being outdoors was his therapy, and he encouraged others to find the same solace in their gardens. His spirit and enthusiasm were contagious, and even when he was no longer regularly on camera, his influence was felt.
