Come Work With Me at the Garden Center for the Afternoon! 🪴❤️🪴 // Garden Answer

[@juliehinkel608]

The true charm of the garden center is how your parents have kept and honored so many of the original elements. The seed drawers/bin and old scale…it adds so much.

[@stevennguyen4993]

Yes! I see issues about this with interior design where people switch in and out of modern/contemporary design to rustic/organic design. I love how they kept everything as is, and does not feel the pressure to automate everything.

[@charlenegomez8385]

I absolutely love that Andrew’s does not succumb to the temptation of new technology. Seeing their business ran in such a unique, but tried and true fashion is so refreshing. Love the old bins, scales, cash register. My favorite garden center by far!

[@dawnmitzner5222]

Yes! My husband and I commented throughout the video how fun and unique Andrew’s Seed is and that we wish we had a garden centre like it close to us where we could shop!

[@charlenegomez8385]

@@dawnmitzner5222 I definitely feel fortunate to live close by. :)

[@meowywest2497]

Makes me want to relocate when I retire so I could shop at Andrew’s. What a treat today’s video was! Thank you for all the different camera angles.

[@marieburton6127]

I’m so happy you took us to the garden centre to do mundane, everyday chores at the seed cabinets!!! What a delight to know all the years they have given life to so many generations of gardens…….so amazing that the centre is still such a viable part of the community. We here in rural South Carolina struggle as old family businesses close one after another. Your channel is a beacon of hope in this insane world.

[@hospiceforplants9099]

I’m from South Carolina as well and we are experiencing the exact opposite. Our local garden stores are doing great ! People seem to be excited about growing their own food , lawn maintenance,and yard work ( of all things😂 ). Sometimes we have to spend a little more or drive a little farther, but finding those small garden centers are worth the effort. Wishing your area of SC a very Merry Christmas !

[@barbarabigelow9110]

We all need to support small businesses ❤

[@nicholasmuni7995]

I hope you and your sister keep Andrews open after your parents retire?

[@kkeenan536]

So happy to see Andrews, a family business, thriving in this “big box” world! Love the bulk seed drawers, the scale and the masking tape dispenser 💚 makes my 72 yo heart happy!

[@robingrunzweig1880]

don't you miss the small family-owned stores? going to the old hardware store used to be so much fun!! 🥰

I just love your family. Y'all are good people. It really shows through your videos, making me want to be there!

[@DebzZi]

Totally agree 💯

[@shannonmoffett6530]

One of my favorite things about you is how you have taught me to appreciate the littlest things. (Rose hips, frost on branches) I love seeing the world this way and I thank you for the daily inspiration ❤💚

[@daisyblooms4813]

Yes! Same! All the subtle different colors of even just green plants (blue, yellow, white, etc.).

[@LindaKing-jr4fz]

The frosty landscape is so beautiful. As a customer you don't realize the time and effort that goes into keeping a store looking good and showing the "merch" at its best. Good job!!

[@kiddywriter]

Your sister is adorable! And a wicked sense of humor!

[@stephaniewilliams9469]

You grew up in such a WHOLESOME and AUTHENTIC environment! How blessed you are to have been a part of AndrewsSeed! Your Dad sure made a wise decision all those years ago! No wonder you can create such magic of your own now with GardenAnswer! You’ve been training YOUR WHOLE LIFE! Girl, you SHINE! Thanks for sharing it all with us!

[@terrymenz5838]

I love how the store has a surprise around every corner. It must be fun to buy the inventory each year and select unique and beautiful items. Most stores stock a lot of a few things while Andrews offers a seemingly endless variety for every taste! I love the videos you do at the store!

[@naharmon]

Laura, you are so authentic and have such a natural genuine way of being. I love how you make us feel like friends and I truly enjoy the ride everyday. Thank you so much for your kindness, knowledge and inspiration.💜

[@InHisGardenCreations]

How fun to be able to work/play at the garden center with your mom and sister! My kind of day!

[@Angel-wolfe]

Always a fun time hanging with you , mom and Monica!! ❤

[@dawnbarnes8729]

I know I don’t have to tell you to count your blessings everyday. You are so very blessed to live in the same area as the rest of your family. The gift of being able to raise your children where they can see and really get to know their grandparents is beyond words. I have never had that gift and it’s something I have always been envious of when I meet someone who has. Even now in my old age all my family live several states away. Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings, see what God has done! ❤️😊

[@jacquikomschlies6079]

Me, too. All my grandchildren live in Canada.

So true. I grew up interacting with my Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. Those bonds were built and last a lifetime. My nephews grew up away and I barely know them. It makes me sad.

[@eurekamarijka]

I made a note that they said the only method that worked for them was glycerin PLUS boiling water, so I googled it and found several sites with instructions. I’d tried glycerine and warm water with magnolia stems in the past but it didn’t work so well, but I’ve got a tree so am going to try the boiling water method next spring myself!

Agree………I would be in there purchasing something!

[@mommaren]

I think we’d all like to spend a day at the garden center! We need an introduction to the birds. Always hear them but never see them.

[@keoweedesigner5995]

Laura , it is soooooo satisfying to get a shop in order! There is a rhythm to evaluation-correction-distribution of the displays. Sometimes by function or by color while keeping in mind the sight lines and impact from every view and keeping it all looking fresh and new and ...wanted! It's a lot like the satisfaction of cleaning up a flowerbed at a season change to enjoy what remains while prepping for what comes next. So glad you and Monica had an afternoon together while spiffing up Andrews Seed 😊

[@wandabrown508]

So nice of Laura to help her parents'. My favorite was Douglas knocking frost off the shrub with his tail, just as Laura was extolling the beauty of the frost.

My Mom used to call that “hoar frost”. It’s a delicate frost with large crystal ice forming. Always breathlessly beautiful.

[@amandar7719]

Stunning hoar frost. The most beautiful Christmas we ever had (UK) must have been about 30 years ago in the UK give or take. Feet of snow and at least 10 days or more of hoar frost protecting the laden branches. So, so beautiful and peaceful. Your garden this Christmas is stunning. 😍 ❄️❄️❄️❄️🌲
