Cut Flower Arrangement Start to Finish *Unedited* 🌿

[@GardenAnswerHighlights]

Hey guys! I'd love to get your thoughts on this style of video! Some people like to learn by watching and often times there's a lot that gets missed when we make a lot of edits to the video or speed up the planting/arranging! Is this sort of thing helpful?

[@micheleagren1604]

The process of making art is part of the magic ❤

[@MrsJenniferWagener]

Garden Answer Highlights I could watch this kind of stuff all day!! 🤣 I’m actually looking for an online course to spruce up my floral arranging before spring/summer. SO bring on the videos!!! Love to see all sorts of vase and height arrangements. Ratios of filler to flowers, etc.

[@lisarmahan]

Absolutely beautiful listening to the sound of nature and watching you Do your thing Soooooo Peaceful .. I always love the variety in your videos this was beautifully done... 🌿🌸🌿

[@jnielson3683]

I was just getting ready to gush about how cool this video was 😄. Super helpful. Fun to watch your process. Loved ‘watching over your shoulder’ and even hearing what you hear. 💗 More PLEASE!!!

[@mariankay6482]

I do enjoy watching the process. Some things like watching you line all those cement pots up down your driveway aren't necessary. I love how y'all edited that, by the way! But when it comes to seeing how you arrange flowers and plants, bring it on. Also, I loved hearing the chickens and the dove and other birds while you made this arrangement. It was very peaceful, entertaining and a great learning experience. I cannot believe you made it all the way through without an assist from Russell!🤣 I loved this visual training! Thanks for always thinking of new/different ways to present all you guys have to offer!!!❤🌞

[@shod61]

Rooster crowing, doves cooing, birds calling and a light breeze blowing. Nature at its best. All while I get to watch you create something beautiful. What a great way to start a morning.

[@angelaread4462]

You know something Laura? Watching you reminds me of myself a good few years ago (as I'm sure it does a lot of the ladies that watch you) - being a loving wife, mother, housekeeper and plain hard worker - along with, and for me personally, your love of all things gardening. Also, probably like quite a few of the other people who watch you, life has thrown a number of unpleasant things at my family and myself over the past 10 years or so and for quite a lot of that time, I have felt super stressed at trying to be super woman to help everyone get through and over everything that has occured. Then, joy of joys, I discovered your channel a couple of months or so ago and a wonderful thing has happened. I am rediscovering my love of gardening and the pleasure and relaxation that it brings. Therefore I would just like to say a huge thank you to yourself, Aaron, cute little Benjamin, your wonderful and loving parents, Russell, Cheddar and your beautiful garden - for helping me to regain some light in my life after what has been a tough few years. I just thoroughly enjoy all of your work on here and sincerely hope that you will be able to carry on brightening the day for so many people for a long time to come. Thank you again for all of your effort and hard work. ❤

[@kmarch6630]

Bless your heart. Sounds like we're in a very similar place in life. This year hasn't started off so great either but I'm determined it's going to get better for me and for you too.

[@helenmchugh4632]

[@dawndawn6946]

Very well said, and I heartily agree! 💗

[@mrsmetalhead666]

lovely words, gardening is soothing for the mind and soul, always give yourself little pleasures in life x

[@dianegentry3255]

What a sweet comment. Laura is very inspiring and though we are aging we can always learn new things! We all go through seasons.God bless you as you begin a new one.

[@RogerC12]

I love it! please, please, please do more! For three years now I've been hoping you guys just set up a camera and film the garden for an hour. Just so I can grab a cup of coffee go sit in my garden and watch your garden. 😂 love from zone 10b

[@robingrunzweig1880]

hello from another zone 10b!! yes, nothing better than watching her garden from our gardens! :)

[@bluewaves3]

I like to hear you talk. You have such a fun way of describing things. Your arrangements are always lovely.

[@kristycollins7169]

OMG Laura! This was such a beautiful video. The peace of no sound except for the birds chirping and you cutting floral stems. I felt like I was there with you. I had to stop what I was doing just to watch closely like I was watching an artist. This was beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed watching, so much that I needed to watch it a second time. When you were cutting the first greenery stems it looked as though you were slicing up the center of the stem, I think this is so that they drink water, but how do you know which stems you need to cut this way when making arrangements?

[@3in2Art]

I was also wondering why there were more cuts on some of the stems - is that because they were evergreens?

[@sherrylthompson803]

I too was wondering about the stem cuttings.

[@GardenAnswerHighlights]

Yep, you're exactly right and I typically do that with woody stemmed cuttings! 😀

[@amberkay521]

I love the silent little “hooray” moments when you liked how the project was looking. Beautiful arrangement and it was interesting seeing it without edits.

[@anneh7217]

Love this style of presentation....very relaxing. Beautiful arrangement.

[@MariaReyes-yf1ob]

Listening to the rooster and the birds in the background and watching you was like meditation. Love it!

[@Shellplumb]

I absolutely loved the way you did this video! Sometimes it's more about the journey than the end result! I also think watching this style makes some people who may find arrangements intimidating will see them more approachable now. It also became super relaxing half way through when we could hear all of the nature sounds! Love, love, LOVE!

[@trudypowers6318]

This is my first time commenting...even though I have watched all of your videos...often more than once. I loved watching your entire creative process! Please do more of these!

[@katherinemurphy8883]

Listening to all of the bird and rooster sounds in your video adds to the sense of serenity I feel while watching you work. I see why you don’t listen to anything else while you work. Just you and the flowers. I loved it. Thank you for letting me accompany you on my lockdown journey. I was watching “The British Baking Show” and told my husband that 2021 would be the “Year of the Pie”, making all kinds and perfecting my skills in crusts and fillings and trying new ideas. Then I discovered you! It is now “The Year of the Garden”! Put out 41 jugs for winter sowing and 31 have sprouted! I live outside Minneapolis and I couldn’t believe they didn’t die! I will fill 9 seed starter trays tomorrow. I love watching your videos, feeling like I’m becoming a part of a family, watching Benjamin grow and becoming more engaged with you, the birth of beautiful Samantha Grace, and thoroughly enjoying the increased presence of Aaron and your back and forth interactions. God bless and thank you for saving my waistline from too many pies! 😁

[@LB-vl3qn]

How did I miss this video? You've obviously received our message of wanting more like this loud and clear. This is the kind of video I could watch over and over again, seeing something new each time. I love to arrange flowers and love watching others arrange them almost as much. The colors you chose are in my favorite combination, which is just a bonus. Looking forward to lots more like this now that you have your new cutting garden. Beautiful. ~ Lisa

[@mrsmac1974]

A quiet, contemplative Laura teaching simply by doing-very inspiring. The ease and sureness as you stripped the excess foliage from the stems made me smile. Enjoyed hearing the birds in the background as well. Thank you! I’d enjoy seeing more of your unedited videos. BTW, how could someone NOT like this video?

[@chrischapman8010]

Beautiful arrangement, loved no words but could hear you thinking. Inspired me to make an arrangement tomorrow for my friend in a retirement home. Oh it is helpful to stand on one foot and bounce up and down then make a little growl, from then on the flowers seem to behave!

[@mireladanielasolomon1180]

Love the video! But i also love your voice, your energy and the insights to all that you do.

[@escazuzu9950]

I realize that this was posted months ago, but I admire your artistry with floral arrangements. I enjoy this process.

[@gointothedogs2]

Its helpful to see the finished arrangement and then watch how it was put together. Sometimes its good to watch someone elses process without words. People get in a rush too much and dont learn from observing often enough. Thinking things through while your doing that, brings another dimension to arranging. Its also relaxing to hear the birds and watch you at work.

[@marilynrobinson6910]

Honestly Laura, I LOVE all your videos! I’m a Gardner at heart and you have stretched me in ways I never thought of. For me, this video was very therapeutic...listening to all the sounds of nature! Absolutely loved it!

[@elisaworkman9669]

I totally enjoyed this video. Shows the process of how it really goes. Broken stems, stand back and look, a tug here and there, etc. 😊

[@rgirola1]

Pretty much love seeing how you arrange flowers in real time or in speed mode. It’s all wonderful and inspiring 💕🌸

[@FriedaBabbley]

I absolutely LOVE how this was in real time and I could hear the birds. It was relaxing. I felt thoughtful and peaceful and focused but day-dreamy, and like I was really part of the arranging. I like guessing where you'd place each stem. Satisfying!

[@shellyhayes1286]

I wondered if I was the only one playing the guessing game!

[@stevenjwiles]

Laura, that was a beautiful arrangement and a awesomely Zen way to start my day. I keep thinking what it would be like if KZbin had been around when Picasso was alive. Thanks for sharing!

[@robinmad9]

So glad you did this. I was always a little sad that you didn't have any birds in your perfect home. Now your home is EXTRA perfect!!!

[@lisarmahan]

Very Relaxing 🌿🌸🌿 A True Artist at work...

[@honeytearz1228]

And i would have stopped with the greens 😅 it looks so gorgeous already. Then the white flowers 😍 it keeps getting better.

[@susanthornton5371]

I’ve been watching your other channel for about a year and just this weekend heard you say about ‘the other channel. Love watching you and yours. So enjoyed the whole process of you working and designing. It’s important for us amateurs to see a professional design, change her mind , fix and try again. Thank you for your generosity.

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

So beautiful nice to see you going slow and showing how well it gets done! PERFECT!!!

[@MosaicRose99]

Stunning! I loved the step by step creation of this arrangement. :)

[@michelebushnik2874]

I love it! I also absolutely love the birds calling. What a majestic place you live! So blessed!❤

[@paulalang1023]

What a gorgeous arrangement! You were in the zone! But the best feature of the video was the beautiful atmosphere around you! The chickens and the birds! Ahhhhhh!! Made me sleepy. Love it!!!😁♥️

[@sharondoss4297]

Your sweet and loving relationship with your mama reminds me of my relationship with my grown daughters. Perfect.

[@lorih5915]

I love it! It’s a gorgeous bouquet! I loved watching it evolve from one branch to a full bouquet in real time. You are an artist! It was relaxing, to me.

[@cheriallison8518]

You know how they say it would be great to be a fly on the wall-- this was much better than that. Taking it slowly and being able to really study what you were doing was a phenomenal teaching method. It allows me soak it all in. As much as I love hearing you explain all things gardening, I LOVED this perspective, too. The only thing I would have tweaked, was if you could have listed the plants you used below the video or showed them on screen. Thanks once again for this beautiful lesson.

[@cathymikequimbyquimby7315]

Stunning! Yes I loved this. Now I want to make one. Love white florals with greenery and pops of pink and purple. Thank you Laura!

[@jeandunne]

Honey, I love to watch you work! I wish I still have the energy you display in your videos.

[@cellison7001]

I love this! It gives me a chance to see all the little details in an actual timeframe. I liked getting to see you thinking about what you want to do and rearranging things to get it to look just how you want. I love seeing the process of placement and even how you strip the leaves and cut the stems. It's just like being there with you and who couldn't love that??? : )

[@sandygreenstreet7281]

I loved this unedited video! I have zero talent for flower arranging so this type of video was most helpful! This flower arrangement was so beautiful!!! 😍

[@feigna9943]

Laura, what is more beautiful than that? Thank you! I got soooo excited watching you!

[@sherricrewson3326]

Hi Laura. I love this video. Seeing the project from start to finish is ideal...especially a flower/container arrangement. I must say that I'm not a fan of speeding up anything you do but I understand the need for it sometimes. Understanding your real-time thought process in invaluable. Thanks for sharing.

[@mallred7578]

I can't even tell you how much I love this arrangement. So beautiful.

[@nokesvillehaunt915]

This is awwwwesome! I love unedited and watching how you create this arrangement slowly placing each flower and foliage. More please!

[@laurac9766]

It's funny when you lifted you coffee cup and looked at the camera, I automatically thought Cheers, Good morning to you too! 😂 Did you keep this arrangement or did you give it to your Mom? I loved the video Laura! It turned out beautifully 😍

[@GardenAnswerHighlights]

This one went to my mom! 😀

[@marcygriffo9904]

@@GardenAnswerHighlights Was this very early in the morning? Roosters crowing and the sun coming up? I always thought the "country" would be so very quiet and it was NOT quiet. But, oh so peaceful!

[@lynardok6654]

Absolutely gorgeous arrangement! I love how Laura just picks off petals or leaves and flings it mindless to where it lands. The ground beneath must also be a sight to behold 🧹 sign of a true artist at work

[@dianajean4837]

Beautiful! You're a natural :) I could watch people arrange flowers all day long ! I felt your intensity, I get the same way when I'm doing it !! I like that we just got to watch. some people talk the entire time and it get's distracting.

[@PiperStout-hl9qz]

One of my favorites. Love the background nature sounds. So relaxing to watch

[@glendahicks7309]

This is a great video. I can watch this and learn how to make an arrangement!

[@sandy-rr1by]

you are teaching by showing. ok with me! you might need to acquire a lazy susan to turn the pot around.

[@karlysul3306]

Love this video. Love seeing the whole process not sped up and you standing back and looking and tweaking it. Beautiful gift for your parents.

[@sherricrewson3326]

This arrangement is STUNNING!!

[@ohiorn34]

I love your flower arrangements. Very “my style”. This video was just so peaceful with the sounds of nature in the background while watching you create another beautiful flower arrangement. ❤️

[@joeb7905]

Laying in bed. I’m in Hawaii and it’s kinda chilly tonight. Loved watching this video. I felt like I was there with you! All I need was some coffee! Love you guys!! More more. Aloha from Hawaii! ❤️🖤

[@lisarmahan]

Howz it Joe.. I lived in Hawaii for over 16 years The Islands have the Most incredibly beautiful florals and greenery I did live out on the North Shore so I loved a little chilly weather and the big waves in winter... A lot of people don't realize that we actually do have seasons on the islands Aloha

[@Simply.KiraMarie]

Absolutely loves this video! It was so calming and relaxing to watch after a busy night at work. I think I learned more in this video than I do videos filled with talk. Definitely great for visual learners. The quiet solitude and peaceful nature sounds had almost an ASMR quality to it. I loved it! Would love to see more videos like this!

[@janejohnson6411]

I loved it from start to finish. I loved the different textures and flowers you used and the end result was absolutely stunning.

[@thepearlatelier4256]

HI i stumbled across your channel and I must say its very therapeutic somehow to watch the video, no loud or irritating music but birds faintly chirping and your beautiful floral arrangement, maybe its nostalgic because i used to see my late Mother do so as well, doing beautiful floral arrangements from her garden.

[@maryrapai8301]

Love watching your design process. Also appreciated just the natural background sounds.

[@amyleepard1125]

I absolutely loved this video - so peaceful and relaxing and inspiring and informative! The slow pace of the unedited video and the sounds of birds and quiet, thoughtful arranging was just so calming. Also, awesome to see your creative process. All of your videos are great. It would be nice to have this style of video sprinkled in regularly too! Thanks for all the creative inspiration!

Loved this! I actually commented in the original video to not speed up the arranging part because that’s what I wanted to see you do. It was both informative and relaxing. More of this would be great ❤️

This might be my new favorite video! I love it and I find it so inspiring to see the process. I think you need something to spin it on so we get to see different sides as you work on it and you don’t have to walk to the front. Also, I like what someone else suggested about popping the names on the screen.

Absolutely gorgeous! I loved watching you create, stand back, look and add more. You make it look so simple to put together and it turned out beautifully! I love hearing the sounds around you as you created this. QUESTION: what's inside the pot that's holding it all together that you're sticking everything in to?

A glorious arrangement Laura!!!!!

Beautiful. Do you think it would be possible to put the names of the greenery and flowers on the screen as you use them?

So elegant and beautiful, I just love it!

[@shirleysenkler781]

So pretty, love the colors. The different shades of white from the different types of flowers is gorgeous and the light and dark purples is a perfect contrast. My usual "arrangement" is plopping my flowers in a vase and adding some greens as a filler.

[@lisarmahan]

That's what I used to always do until I discovered Garden Answer Videos.. I try my best but they never turn out anywhere near as beautiful as Laura's But I'm getting better 🌿🌸🌿

[@barbll000]

Very peaceful to watch. The finished vase is gorgeous. I can faintly hear the constant crow of a rooster in the distance so I can see why you say you don't want one. Somehow we're lead to believe they crow in the morning but I get the impression they crow all day long.

[@tiffinyharrington9307]
