[@donnagent6046]

Thank you for your consistency in posting videos. I am pretty much housebound after suffering a stroke. Your videos are the highlight of my day and give me something to look forward to almost every day. Merry Christmas to the entire Garden Answer team and Happy New Year.

Your content and video quality is always a nice blend of normal life and professionalism ❤

[@clareyoung7791]

My family tease me "are you watching the garden lady again"🤗. I'm in England and a lot of the plants you use are not suitable for my area but still I sit watching and dreaming of 5 acres of land and to design a garden from scratch with day after day of sun. I'm living vicariously through you. Thank you for your entertaining channel and for letting us feel engaged with your life, not just the planting side... It makes you so much more relatable than others

[@sherylemoore8626]

Tie the kids to the roof rack, Mama's gone plant shopping! I love how you tucked the children and the plants in together. How many times when my boys were small did they ride in the jungle car!🤣 Your videos often bring back the best memories for me. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas!

[@rasheawhite3644]

Good morning, family! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!🫶💚❤️🤗🥰

[@pamelawilliams7174]

The music while Laura was potting the plants in the studio was absolutely beautiful. It reminded me of a warm day in Tuscany.

[@dangardens]

Yasss! People who return their carts! ❤❤❤

[@majorkitty7542]

Thank you Laura. Love going shopping with you. Plants look great. xxx

[@nashnash7997]

I myself am ready for spring. I'm not nor ever have been a cold weather person. Give me sunshine and warmth!

[@wendymckee6627]

Yes yes yes. I hate the winter. My bones need the sunshine

[@SenterStuff61]

Same! Hibernating is all I want to do in winter! Hurry back, spring! ~Cassandra

[@jesusislord2457]

Same here in south Georgia! I'd rather sweat than shiver! Winter hurts!😢 Bring on the bugs!

[@therealsoutherngarden]

I am 100 percent with you 💚💚winter can go ahead and leave!!

[@therealsoutherngarden]

@@jesusislord2457I’m a Georgia gardener too and we don’t have long here, about 6 weeks after Xmas the daffodils will be blooming💚💚can’t wait!!

[@connieframe8613]

Thank you so much for taking us on your outing. Those are some beautiful unique plants.

[@dppeterson05]

Thank you for reminding me to get to Edwards for plant therapy 😊

[@jennygeorge6591]

Houseplants ate my love language always has been since I was Benjamin's age. My grandmother loved African violets and shared her love and knowledge❣️ All your choices would have been mine as well. Y'all have the best shops in your area. Thank you for filling up my cup this morning. Merry Christmas.🎄🎄

[@Kelly_B_]

I LOVE plant shopping!!! What a fun day!!! I'm here in Minnesota where winter is just starting... Thank goodness for garden centers to help get us through till spring!!!

[@jaleinegreen7411]

My husband, who loves orchids, says it’s called “Dancing Lady“ I know that orchids are very temperamental and only like to be watered a little bit each time because if they are watered too much, it will kill them. Such a beautiful plant! 💛💜💚

[@cherylramsey3409]

I’m not a big orchid fan, but I do love those little dancing ladies! Have you seen the yellow variety?

[@jaleinegreen7411]

@ no, I haven’t seen the plain yellow variety, but I bet it’s beautiful!💛

[@ninalovett7839]

The yellow one is what my grandma used to grow. Our front yard was full of them. She would just mount them on coconut trees and they would thrive.

[@LindaSilber]

Fabulous yellow Angel Trumpet! I grow these in my yard in various colors. My white trumpet flowers are over a foot long. Wonderful fragrance at night.

[@melidajimenez2105]

I did love also the angel trompeta, it was a pity she didn't buy it. In Costa Rica they are also selling the plant with varios colors of flowers.

[@BreiKopping]

My favorite plant ❤

[@trainingolives3370]

I wondered what that was! 😍 It’s such a show stopper! Thank you for sharing the name.

[@susanlivingston6900]

Wishing your family, staff, and the Garden Answer community a very Merry Christmas and thank you so much for all the videos!

[@CarolynOfria-hn3ty]

Thank you for taking us along. I am so ready for spring. Forced myself outside yesterday. Sunny but cold. Spent 2 hours out grooming perennials and getting the courtyard cleaned up. I slept so well. Merry Christmas

[@harriettebarnette2414]

I never had success with orchids until I took an empty aquarium and put about an inch of chicken grit and water. Place plant in pot in aquarium. They are so fun to see them bloom and grow their long roots.😊

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Good Morning! 🎅 I am in heaven! I love Edward's Greenhouse, my stress relief! I will start looking over new plants when I buy them! All those plants are gorgeous! 🥰🍊🎄🌵🪴🌿

[@shellyhayes1286]

Thank you for sharing a very enjoyable trip to Boise - so many plants! Seasons' Greetings 🎄to all the family, from Ireland ☘

[@3l3llala13]

I think that curly epiphyllum is called 'Curly Sue'. The Ric Rac's flowers are so pretty. What a great nursery in Boise; I could spend hours just browsing there.

[@cherylstuckey4358]

Thank you so very much for including us in these family outings- i know it makes it more difficult and is sometimes a pain. But we sooo appreciate it. Merry Christmas

[@KimberlyMorgan-l8f]

David with the fern up doo is perfect!!!

[@sncmom2000]

I can totally relate to the rejuvenating effect of a trip to the garden center on gloomy days. I do have a bit of SAD and smelling the aroma of a garden center and seeing the green is my favorite cure. Merry Christmas!

[@kcoop6888]

You’ll get a fun surprise when that Stepellia blooms 😂😂😂 those flowers stiiiiiiiiiiiiink

[@lindylou3519]

lol…yep! I was just thinking that! (Pew)

[@cherylstuckey4358]

Oh no! Sounds like it will take some mindful placement

[@lindaga820]

Wow, Edwards is a great nursery ! Love thr plants you chose and another citrus tree !!! That gray ceramic planter is so pretty. The little fairy garden pieces are so adorable, but most of all I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and blessed New Year. God Bless you all . ❤❤ 😊😊

[@hausnouveau]

Laura! Have you ever seen the blooms that your Stapelia cactus will produce?? They are the coolest thing!

[@frasersgirl4383]

Merry Christmas to you and all the family!! ❤️💫🎄🐈‍⬛🐱🎄💫❤️

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

I am so ready for spring. I'm ready to see your beautiful gardens in bloom.😊

[@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq]

What a fun video for December. Like you said ," it just satisfies the soul". It won't be too long now before we in Georgia will see Daffodils pushing up. Got a lot of Spring clean up to do. Health problems have kept me unable to do anything but cut the grass. Might go out today and clean out my potted plants that had summer annuals in them. I get so motivated just watching your content. Always busy as a bee you are. Merry Christmas. All those plants would have been the best Christmas gift. Think i will tell my husband that's what I want. He keeps asking me an I say I can't think of a thing. But now I know exactly what I want. While down, he had to water all my outside plants which takes an hour to do by dragging around the water hose. He's determined now to buy me hoses like you have. Mount one I'm front and back yard. Think he has caught the bug. He became partial to a couple of planted plants and took extra care with them. He likes red. I have a rooster red crepe myrtle. He watered it daily tho it's well established. Been planted for three years. I told him not to worry about it. Crepe myrtles are tough plants. But he watered it along with everything in yard. He's already talking about what plants do I want for Spring. Just annuals for all my containers. That's all I think I can handle right now. Merry Christmas to everyone. Mat it be blessed with good health, happiness,snd prosperity.

[@camicri4263]

Ahh, gorgeous plants! Thank you for taking us along! Seeing the whole family 😍 made me very happy and the kids. Blessings 🙏🏻💞💞🤗

[@marciafischbeck7653]

Two of my favorite sounds on your channel are your Felcos - snip, snip and the crinkle of a fresh bag of potting mix! Sounds like fun!

[@moundweller]

Thanks for the garden center stroll! I made a rookie mistake and brought in some plants from outside without inspecting or realizing that there were fungus gnats. So, now, I am in the battle, have re-potted the most affected inside plant and am watching 👀 intently. QUESTION: Will your online shop ever carry smaller amounts of Gnatrol? I would love to use it, however, it's a huge investment buying a lifetime supply. I have searched online for opportunities to buy a smaller quantity, but no luck. Thanks for all you do to brighten our lives!

[@pjc7351]

The ONE THING I would buy is the STAGHORN FERN. I have never seen one so perfect. Wow. What a unique greenhouse. And as usual with my picks, especially at antique shops, the tag says NFS, Not For Sale! Birds Nest ferns are wonderful and last for years. I take the pot and place it in a bowl of water. It soaks up what water it needs.

[@cherylramsey3409]

In central Florida, you can get a baby staghorn fern at Lowe’s for $6.99. I have one hanging in a tree for many years; It is now a very large ball of a plant and is probably three or four times the size of the mounted staghorn shown mounted in this video There are also Elkhorn ferns, which looks similar to the staghorn. That very first fern that Laura picked up after she picked up the birds nest fern on the table is actually an Elkhorn fern.

[@dorothygarrett6051]

The Cereus cactus that blooms at night is a treat to be seen. Set up a time release camera from 10pm on to capture its opening. Some have a very intoxicating scent.!

[@jenw5854]

Laura, I’ve been stopping myself from heading to the cutest little garden center in my town. But I think your video is forcing me to go! 😂

[@anitaassad4499]

Hi hi from Johannesburg south Africa. May you all have a blessed Christmas and a festive new year.

[@susanmarquette4206]

Thankyou so much for this video. I am a big houseplant person and love to see new varieties of all species. I am just getting into orchids and have been starting to understand them more(not killing them). I hope during this winter months you focus on the orchids and give updates on all your plants.

[@kerrymcallistee3418]

This was a fun video. I wasn't going to buy anymore plants until Spring. Now I'm wanting to go find a new plant. Thanks for sharing.

[@barbararichmond499]

Love watching the plant shopping. I bought a couple of small succulents and a few leaves fell off. I stuck them in a little planter and they grew a new plant(baby). So exciting. After they got a little bigger, I replanted my 2 original plants and the babies after they got a little bigger into a really cute planter. Now I have a few more leaves planted and a couple of them have babies. It’s so neat to watch the little one get bigger. Thanks Laura for all the neat videos.

[@aliceelbradey6278]

They look so beautiful and very happy,I had a flower shop and just retired in June and I miss getting new plants and flowers in and arranging them so I just watch you and it makes me feel happy,we have been traveling and are away for long time periods so I can’t have plants,so i just have my garden outside thanks for sharing hope you have a merry little Christmas I love your family you are so lucky!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@laraemitchell9064]

It was fun seeing Edwards. It’s been years since I was there. It’s a really been there a long time. (Almost 100 years). I used to drive past there twice a day as I drove on Hill Road. I lived on one end of Hill, the baby sitter was on the other end. You got some really great plants and showed us some spectacular specimens at Edwards. Love your road trips and this one extra special family outing. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! 🎄🎅🎄

[@zormier2002]

Great looking bunch of plants!

[@christinawyckoff2164]

02:16 ❤❤❤❤and gush!! Oh my 🤪🥊 went back and slowed the video right down! No surprises that i love orchids! They never get old! Thank you for showing us a close up of the blooms! I grow my collection in S'ern Spain. Tough time for my 'chiddos during winter... thats why i resist buying more. 😅 would love to be of help to anyone that has questions aboit these beautiful plants ❤ Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@angelalormand719]

I was asked at a garden center how I knew so much about some of the plants. I said, “Laura taught me.” Love the shopping video and the pot choices.

[@KrestynBarton]

Thank you for taking us along!! It always fills my cup so much to roam a nursery. Love all the gorgeous plants you picked up!!

[@CatCaretakerID]

I like the one with the zigzag stems. Aw, that's sweet the kids got beautiful flowers. I really like that fern, and I have had a hard time with ferns as well. I hope to try again next year. The repotted plants and the groomed plants all look so good. Home in bed with a bad cold but wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and Happy and Healthy New Year. 🌲🌲☃☃❄❄

[@michaliareeton3247]

So lovely to go with you and lovely family along to a garden centre to look at more beautiful plants. And boy you got some beautiful plants today .

[@barbragil440]

You guys have so much fun! I don’t know how you manage it all. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!🎄🎁🎄

Beautiful plants. Love the music selection Taylor. 🙂🎶🎵

[@rickyt3961]

Thank you Laura! 🌵🌳🪴

[@desireehouse]

Love the David head planter. I have a small head planter but struggled with it because of no drainage hole. I found the perfect use though - I did an evergreen arrangement in it for the holidays at our local garden center. She looks great, even gave her beaded garland for her pine hair and a ribbon for a scarf. ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄

[@deborahpalm7657]

Thank you for a wonderful gardening filled 2024 (and a little antiquing too!). Have a blessed 2025 and Merry Christmas for your whole family and loved ones.

[@NiccoletteR]

Thank you, Laura, and ALL, your family , we see all year, Merry Christmas from New Zealand, and we dont forget, Paul and his sister, You two play a big part to.

[@maryvallas772]

Laura and Aaron, we just moved to Florida from Massachusetts, and the water down here is so hard I couldn't believe it. Water spots, deposits, and corrosion everywhere so badly that we had to call a plumber our very first day here to replace spigots and toilet parts. We ended up getting a Rainsoft Water System installed, and the difference is amazing. Home Depot actually set us up with the company that installed. You should definitely research it with all the hard water issues you deal with. It would end all of them!

[@okicherven]

The plants look exellent in this pots 🥰. The David's head is awesome ❤.

[@SouthernLatitudesFL]

6:40. I believe that is Devil's backbone, or in the family. I have one similar in 10a. They are toxic so mine stays in a hanging basket about 6 ft high. Leaves change slight to pink as seasons change.

[@jackierowe7442]

Fun times at Edwards greenhouse! I know the wonderful feeling and smells of being in a greenhouse! Your children had fun too! Great purchases too. Can't wait to see oranges on your new tree! The CV leaning up and repotting of some of your new plants! You'll have to show us where your house plants are placed!💚

[@julieofidaho]

We love Edwards Greenhouse. They usually have music playing in the perennial house and it is so relaxing.

[@jeanmariedenning62]

Oh , the walk trough the warm warehouse reminded me of my outdoor San Diego succulent days ! Jesper aloe parvaflora were my tall stemmed coral colored bell flower height focals . Yes . Now living in the North North west I needed this video ! Thank you Laurie.

[@marthabradas8873]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful plant haul today! I always learn so much from you, happy holidays!!!

[@janelarson9398]

It’s good to know that not everything is always perfect, and in place..makes the rest of us feel better😁 I love your videos!!!! Merry Christmas!!🌲

[@paperlimeandcraft]

Love the haul, all tropical type plants. If the orchid smells like chocolate, it could be “Shari baby”. Also I have dragon fruit that has had fruit in 7 months from a cutting, if from seed it will take longer. Note I live in the Caribbean so growing conditions are plant friendly!!!!❤ BTW your frosty winter wonderland last week was pretty awesome,like a living dreamscape loved the footage.

[@terrydanker7368]

I have grown orchids for years and I live in Nampa for nine years. Love coming to the garden center. Just a tip for your new oncidium. They need more humidity so I keep mine on a tray of rocks and have water in the rocks. I also water them twice a week. They don't like to dry out. Enjoy your orchid. Terry

[@bluedusk3263]

My mother in law was given a stapelia 40 years ago for a wedding gift, and when I got married she gave me a piece of hers. It quickly became one of my favorite plants. The leaves get soft when it is thirsty which makes it easy to take care of and no cactus spikes! The purple tips are sun stress.

[@michellesmail]

I love meandering through nurseries during the off season. At 8:32 it looked like a plant hanging upside down. Did anyone else see it that way? Or maybe just my crazy brain! Thank you for a delightful trip through the nursery!

[@joannmussetter1593]

Thank you both for showing use all that t you do for your show and all you do with your family, thank you both,Marry Christmas, and God Bless all .

[@vaniafelan3511]

Laura, I see another heated greenhouse in your future for your ever growing houseplant & tropical collection! The first project in it could be a version of that living wall!🪴

[@thedirtygardener]

That would be so cool! And she could house her ever-growing citrus collection during winter. It would be her own little Orangerie. ❤

[@capecodcottagegarden]

This is something on my list this winter. Repot my houseplants! Thanks for the wonderful day:)

[@barbaramccann7944]

They addressed this on yesterday’s GA Highlights recap; Aaron said he would fix it. But I must say that I don’t notice it on my TV.

Thanks for the field trip!! We also have some garden centers we love to visit in the winter, many with older not for sale plants.certainly helps the winter go by!!

[@davidnicholson6406]

Fun shopping tour. Stapelia is called carrion for a reason, the bloom smells like rotting meat but they look amazing, starshaped with light and dark brown markings. The Cereus I had in offices in interior plantscapeing and if I was early enough and it was cloudy outside I might catch a bloom before it closed completely. They open about midnight. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@sylviahanks4961]

[@christian5707]

Makes me want to go plant shopping!! I have my great grandmothers monkey tail cactus and now it’s cuttings have been passed down to my daughter and she will then give some to her daughters. Plants are a wonderful thing in my book!

[@colleen4574]

Merry Christmas Laura and Arron. Thanks for taking us on a fun shopping trip. I've read that using the Natural you should always water from the base. Don't know why buy just an fyi. You are the master so I'm sure you know best. Good luck with the orchid. The one you chose isn't a beginner's but you should do great with it anyway. I have lots and only winter blooms but so fun to have. No knats in orchids.

[@tarawright7950]

That was fun! Thanks for taking us along. Question, do you ever have people tell you Not to film while you’re in a store? I can’t imagine they wouldn’t like the free advertising, but you never know. Merry Christmas!

[@dianequist835]

I remember a couple to a few years ago, a store asked her not to film. I remember the comment section was upset about that. Personally, a business should be allowed to operate how they see fit. There may be reasons we are unaware of as to them saying no.

[@mrsbongiovanni3106]

I love the way they all look at the end! How the purple tips matched the pot patina and the green contrasts the gray quilt pot. Great eye! 👁️ I definitely do get SAD (seasonal affective disorder) luckily we just got some sunshine yesterday here in Northeast Ohio. Today, I have some plants to clean up, as well! Laura, when choosing your plants, how do you decide if a plant is worth $100?

[@Brenda-fp5te]

Love the ferns & those cactus, so unique.

[@shirlydejarnette]

What nice plants. I love all forms of catus and the ric rac is a night bloomer. I had one in the greenhouse that I have now moved into the house. A few days ago I went to get the chicken food and it was blooming. The fragrence is so sweet and intense. Thank your for sharing your day with us. Merry Christmas to you and all your family from OKC.

[@shana8062]

Fungus Gnat Killer! I wanted to share what I accidentally discovered a couple of days ago. While trying to get rid of black sugar ants, I discovered that this particular ant bait attracts and kills fungus gnats as well! There was a bag of potting soil that had been brought inside from the cold. The gnats hatched and were flying around, but they soon found the bait stations and died. Never in a million years would I have thought that! What a joyful find! Thought I'd pass along the good news. Hot Shot Liquid Ant Bait (in clear domes) Dinotefuran 0.05% You guys are awesome! Shana

[@suefromoz1913]

The statice would look pretty arranged in bunches in the decorative circular stand your mum gave you some time ago and you had in the Hartley. Just a thought 😊

[@kim-is9tq]

I've never seen a ric-rac in bloom. Today I saw 2.. Thanks for sharing!

[@MosaicRose99]

I love the houseplant shopping and potting up videos. :)

[@robingrunzweig1880]

what a fun day!!! love all your selections... the twisty or spiral cactus will be interesting: depending on the direction its planted, it can change its spiral.. so you sort of have a record of when you bought it based on which way it starts to spiral...i see 2 new greenhouses in your future!! you will need some small buildings next to the high tunnels in the new area: one for cacti/succulents/epitheliums, and one with higher humidity for ferns and orchids!!! i love all the unusual cacti out there, maybe because down here in socal they're everywhere, haha... we are spoiled a bit.. i'm thinking back to the video you did with Cindy in San Diego, and i'm taking a guess but the roadside nursery you may be remembering was in Encinitas called Weidner's.. and it used to be just a greenhouse or two right off the 5 freeway... it's over 50 years old now and a full blown nursery and gorgeous place to go... i'm further north up in Orange County but we do love to take a trip down that way and explore the nurseries there... also, while i'm aware you don't watch much youtube yourself, you might wanna look at some of Laura Eubanks' videos here on youtube.. she is a wealth of information (and quite a hoot to watch at that), but she has lots of good information on succulents, cacti, and design... she's local to the san diego area and has been around for many, many years... i can't wait to watch all these plants grow!! so fun!! happy holidays!!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤

[@kendastaudenmaier3689]

The rickrack in the gray was definitely a good choice. I love it.

[@jayesbeautifulchaos2244]

I might have to take a trip down to our garden center. That looked amazing! Northern Utah gets socked in with inversion too. Where I live we luckily don’t get the inversion, but when it gets really bad down below (20min away) you can see it creep through the canyon.
