Foraging & Flowers with Mom + Harvesting Onions! 🌸🥰🧅 // Garden Answer

[@sherylemoore8626]

Always special when your Mom is with you! She seems so much fun, just a joy! My own mother died when I was 12. Seeing you too have so much fun makes me think of what could have been and never fails to bring a tear to my eye, a happy tear none the less.

[@disneylover8056]

My mother died when I was 25 but she had Huntington disease which is usually 20 years of your life my sister too. My mom was 49 and my sister was 65 when they passed away from that

[@sharongreen5655]

Ladies I’m sorry that happened to you both. 💚

[@mrsbongiovanni3106]

I felt the same way! Cried remembering moments with my God-mother who was also named Susan. She is now wheelchair bound and not able to do all of the fun things we used to do together. She was an amazing tea party gal! 😊❤ We CHERISH the ladies who have brought so much precious joy to our hearts! I am so grateful to Laura and Susan for sharing these very dear moments so that we can be BLESSED as well! Love you ladies, so so much!!😊❤

[@gretchenburton7184]

Sorry for your losses❤I know how it feels. Missing my mom too although she passes years ago. Love to see Susan and her cherriness. They always enjoy each other and help one another❤

[@Garten_Antwort]

My Mother is still alive, but nicely said, the VERY oppeside from Lauras mom. Only Can we imagine how it could be with a Mother like that. So happy to See it❤

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

My favorite part of this video is Laura and Susan visiting and laughing at the dining room table. Precious moments.

[@angelalormand719]

When you walked into your mom’s house, it sounded like bells ringing. My mom’s special ringtone sounded like that. When I hear them, I always think, there’s mom. She’s been gone for 9 months now and I still miss her every second of every day. Thank you for the mom videos, it does a broken heart wonders.

[@laraemitchell9064]

My step mom has been gone a little over a year, and I still catch myself thinking, “I need to call and tell her about ….” Then remember she’s not there. 😢

[@jettabartholomew1118]

My Mom's been gone 44 years 💔 I miss her sorely...sometimes I can barely breathe🌻 No one ever loves you like your Mom 💗

[@mercancinar6330]

Agreed i enjoy watching them together so much ❤😊

[@mercancinar6330]

@@laraemitchell9064 i am sorry for your lost i tought i was the only one who does that 😔 i lost my mom 14 years ago and i do the samething.

[@marilynm8812]

And you never stop talking to her.😂

[@deko2485]

One year my mom cut some down and brought them home. She sprayed good old hairspray on them so they would not open and spill their fluff everywhere. She had those stems for probably 30 years in grandma's old ceramic German vase in the corner behind the front door. Mom passed away when I was 30. I am now much older than she was when she passed. How blessed you are to still have each other and able to enjoy these special moments. Thanks for sharing.

[@melialei]

My mom lives in Australia, and I am missing these moments.

[@gracebowden9454]

My Mom did the same thing - kept those things for years - LOL

[@djackson2243]

Can I just say how much I LOVED this video. The real Mom and daughter time. Let's just hang this picture. Love it.

[@lindahavron3479]

Just like the beautiful arrangements you made with your Mom, you both bring joy and sunshine into our lives! What a pleasure it is to watch you both working together.

[@mrsbongiovanni3106]

Well said! They two are like a beautiful bouquet of life!! ❤🎉😊

[@louisech1963]

It is always nice to see you and your mother do projects together.

[@LULC0759]

Who wouldn’t want to go foraging in Laura’s gardens?!❤

[@deborahmouille1718]

Laura, your mom is such a delight! Always look forward to seeing her and Monica in your videos! The pleasantries are such a treat to watch! You are definitely your mother's daughter! Thanks for sharing her with us! Seeing the heredity being passed down in your family is truly a blessing! I enjoy your videos so much!

[@amycrotty8055]

Today is my Mom’s birthday. I watch your videos with you and your Mom with awe and a with a tear. She loved loved flowers and I am sure sure they are beautiful in heaven.

[@mspurefunk5]

Your mom has such a great eye! The two of you together is so fun to watch. Let’s make arrangements- no let’s hang pictures- wait let’s also play with Benjamin. I mean a great day. Each night going to bed counting those blessings ❤

[@DaleDool-pr7ht]

Love it when you and your Mom get together. Hope your Dad loves his onion.

[@corrinejohnston4185]

What a fun day. I'm so excited, I'll be at Andrew's Seed tomorrow on Friday morning. I came to Ontario from Alaska just to see the garden store. ❤😊

[@VirginiaMathews94]

Oh, that’s exciting!I’ll visit as soon as my Unique Stone order comes in! 👏🏼 Enjoy your visit!

[@gizherre]

My favorite videos of Laura are when she interacts with her family!

[@Garten_Antwort]

Minę, too❤😊

[@sandydarling9343]

Me as well. Do all sunflowers produce seed that parrots can eat? I always grow sunflowers but are reluctant to try other varieties. Also you both say Ya alot. Is this a German area historically?

[@susielawrence9664]

Thirty Years ago, I took a floral design evening class at the area VoTech. Florists at the time just mostly used roses, chrysanthemums & carnations in their designs. Towards the end of the class, I made a very large arrangement in a crock at home of wildflowers I had foraged. I loved it & was so proud of it, took a photo & then showed the photo to the instructor. She was an older very traditional florist at the time, she looked at my photo, hesitated and said, We call this “Roadsideia”. 😊 Even now every time I see a field of wildflowers, I think what a beautiful roadsideia arrangement they would make!

[@robindykeman8404]

The older we get, the more time with our elders become even more precious ❤

[@MsFigure9]

I don't know why, but I love watching the harvest of potatoes, onions and garlic!

[@debrenagarnett7275]

I get a rush of happiness when I see a video pop up with your mom in it and I know immediately it’s going to be a great one! She has such a kind, calm energy that eases my anxiety. 💕Love seeing what a natural she has become on camera!

[@sandraballinger5470]

What a treat! So love watching you and your mom do things together. Wonderful!

[@shelleymalone4427]

Your mom’s renovation is just glorious. The flower arrangements are beautiful in her home and yours.

[@LunaGrace62]

You are so blessed to have your Mom to do this with! I lost my Mom when I was 35... I'm 62 now, I miss her every day. As usual, this is a wonderful vlog ❣️

[@connieframe8613]

Same for me, she was my best friend.

[@WaterisJoy]

I loved my mom so much but appreciate and love her even more 24 years after losing her. You can’t appreciate your loved ones enough while they are here with you. Enjoy every minute.

[@meliss36]

❤LOVED all of this.. I miss my precious Mother so much.. seeing you and your Mom laughing together, doing all the things you two love to do.. brings me joy in remembering my loved and dearly missed Mother. QUESTION: when will we get another video of you, Aaron and Monicusss.. singing and playing.. my goodness Laura you all are so talented.. Monica’s voice is so beautiful.

[@CB-sr8ee]

I love how Benjamin draped the amaranth around the base. So creative. ❤

[@donnaterry1200]

The new fridge fits like a glove. I love the flower arrangements.

[@cynthiaszramowski7293]

I love how your mother starts her centerpiece and Laura you just took it over!

[@TallGamer111]

Love videos with Mom. She's such a breath if fresh air. ❤

[@Sisteryoda1440]

Love your mom’s flower arrangements (these were particularly lovely), but Benjamin’s arrangement takes the prize 🏆 in beauty and the sweet way he explained it. 💐💝

[@marja1038]

The sweet pea made the arrangement 110%!

[@ireneclark3993]

Love how he just soaks up all the education and makes it his own well done😊

[@allisong6]

Fantastic video and I am with Ur dad why are Ur onions always huggggeeee!!??? But this video got me in the feels 1st my mum passed away when I was 7 so I didn't get this type of mother daughter day, but I inspire me with my girls ( we are off to the flower show tomorrow) and lastly Benjamin my lil boy is now 22 and it melts me remembering him when he was small and made me planters and arrangements

[@phyllismekoleske3332]

I used to love roadside wildflower forraging with my late parents. Our spring ritual for wild sweet Williams

[@rrano6331]

…it adds a level of richness to your life. Keeping time with the seasons has always been the way of farmers and women. It’s like coming home.

[@rhondagunderm4862]

I love watching you and your mom. Cherish every minute you have with her.

[@liddierose7063]

A friend use to spray them with hair spray so they won't start getting fuzziness or start seeding. Love the love you have for each other. So blessed to have your mother close.love your whole family.

[@be_you2023]

Well done Benjamin on your floral arrangement, it was beautiful. Your Mum and Grannie have definitely graced you with their talent. ❤

[@GrannyCompton]

I really enjoyed seeing Benjamin want to spend time with his Nana! Lovely family time filled with snippets of utter joy.

[@WaterisJoy]

My first time to this channel. Came upon it by accident. Love the content, energy and kindness.

[@loriboyce942]

Your mama sparkles like the new fridge! ❤

[@dcharrison]

It’s so awesome when you spend time with your precious momma. Everything look so beautiful. Blessings

[@rebeccahatch1930]

Your mom is a treasure 😊

[@LindaKing-jr4fz]

My mom and I used to enjoy going out to her gardens and making bouquets. I cherish those memories. Benjamin has a good eye for arranging and live his descriptions!

[@lbarmstrong1]

Laura, I LOVE watching you and your mom. Just love it. Makes me miss my mom (I'm 63 and lost her ten years ago). Cherish every moment. Pretty sure you've still got a long time, but don't take it for granted (I know you don't) :) PS, that was a great view of your mom's stone patio, and I remember ya'll picking the pavers. It turned out beautifully!

[@originalseason]

Love when you two arrange flowers! Please do this more often!

[@megburkhardt5719]

What a blessing to have time with your Mom. Mine used to "forage" furniture that people threw out. The nicest piece of furniture in my house is a sectional barrister bookcase that a law firm discarded due to two tiny cracks in two panes of the beveled glass. My Mom dug it out of their trash. Thank you for allowing us to join in your fellowship.

[@stefmcclure9386]

It is always so fun to see you and your mom together. They will be such treasured memories! I love both the arrangements and seeing your mom's home. The black curtains will be perfect!

[@allabiliychuk4781]

Oh ladies everything your hands touches comes out beautiful, very original and full of life!!! Good to see you together

[@kathrynhurst7210]

Hope you all are praying for our country- Take care 🌸🌸

[@Twistnsine]

Laura, thank you for opening up your home for us! And your mom’s! This was such a fun and lovely day, even for us on the other side of the screen 😍🙏 Loved all the arrangements! Now I want to go harvest in my garden and create something beautiful too 😍👏🌸

[@christinawyckoff2164]

You are lucky to have your mom with you 💖 love purple 💜 yellow 💛 and white 🤍 flowers together 💕 love the colors and black 🖤 curtains 💖

[@carolynmcelmeel1851]

Benjamin is growing so fast but still in the sweet boy stage. He and your mother always seem to have such a loving relationship. Being a grandma of twin boys who are now 19 has been such a special part of my life, plus I have a granddaughter who lives in Vancouver, Washington. She is equally as special to me but I don’t get to see her that often. So I hope Laura’s mother will have this wonderful relationship with her grandchildren. Loved your foraging trip, I use to do this with my mom and we’d make special arrangements from of our roadside haul. Some of those ditches were really deep and full of muddy areas. What a special bond your family has. I noticed when you were driving your gator around that your onions were popping with vigor out of the garden. Amazing how large they grow! Happy gardening. 😊🌺🌼🌸

[@Awesomegardner]

The flower bouquets are stunning! What a nice experience to share with your family, have you ever tried growing cattails in the garden?

[@Blake.Cooper]

Always a pleasure seeing the Garden Answer Grandma!🤩Precious memories made with your awesome mom! I like the black curtains too because it brings out the lamp shades from the hanging lights.

[@jacquelinewells7575]

Always love when you and your mom gets together. Look at his arrangement! So pretty! He’s taking right after you mom. Goes to show he’s always paying attention. The arrangement is so pretty your mom made.

[@lorihanby6733]

Love your mom so much! What fun adventures you must have enjoyed going foraging together. The arrangements turned out beautiful, especially Benjamin’s. 😊

[@Kentuckygardengal]

I love when you talk through your design when making floral arrangements. It helps me when I’m making an arrangement.

[@AlgiereRanch]

👏👏👏

[@daisyhargraves1090]

Benjamin totally stole the show on this one! His arrangement was the cutest little thing ever. ❤

[@gaylerichards7409]

Love your special times with your mom. You two make some beautiful bouquets. That’s a hall of onions!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

What a fun time with your mom and Benjamin! How fun to be able to forage such pretty things! Your flower garden is such a gem!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

I know we all say this, but I just love videos with you and your mom showing off your talents. Beautiful arrangements!💚🌻💚

[@zaria5785]

Mom time is always the best time. 🫶🏼 Love the cobalt blue with saffron finch and the white superbena. Those colors are awesome in flower arrangements too with just a hint of cool reds or pinks. 👍🏼

[@debbiehaney2467]

The arrangements turned out beautifully! I always love videos of your mom and Monica working on projects with you. What a lovely family you have!

[@amydeeds6248]

Your mom is priceless!

[@WildOrchardOasisFarm]

I had the pleasure of meeting Susan a week ago today at the garden center on my way back home to Arizona. I feel like we could be friends! Such a sweet soul.

[@yT579]

Great forage! Would consider planting a few somewhere around the pond? They would look really great there.

[@elsafischer3247]

I love to see you with your mother. I also get together with my daughters (4). Your onions look great

[@carolramsey6860]

I grew up on the east coast with a beach nearby. After dinner, my friends and I would follow the roads along a salt marsh where tons of Cattails grew. We each cut one to carry along on our walk, in order to keep mosquitoes away! We lit the end of each cattail so that they looked like cigar torches .... the smell, which we were familiar with, was unique and wildly unpopular with those pesky mosquiotes.= fun kid memory from long ago!

[@lindawoody8501]

Benjamin has an artistic side and seems to enjoy the flowers, vegetables, fruits and landscape plants. Benjamin sure did make a cute arrangement! Your mother has the touch too in terms of arranging! So fun to have your wonderful Mother in the video.

[@indigocomca]

Love these outings with your Mom and sometimes your sister! Beautiful flower arrangements ladies!! Yes, I find black can ground a room.

[@annduffy1356]

Omg, your gardens are at peak performance! The flowers, amazing. Do you use any of your plants for medicinal purposes? If so, which ones and for what purpose?

[@lily_white]

I carmelize a LOT of onions in a crackpot, flash freeze them in portioned pucks, and store them in a freezer bag

[@royde-bo-hun3113]

I just love watching time with your cute momma.. Benjamin is growing up. He is a young man.

[@browneyes-cj8eg]

I love the relationship you have with your Mom. cherish every moment

[@ishabhambri]

i only plant bougainvilleas, but your videos are really calming and i like playing them just before going to bed.

[@marksears1124]

Watching you and your mom makes me feel like I still have a Mom.

[@patriciadavidson3328]

Really enjoyed you and your mom today! Reminds me of the times my mother used to go with me searching for dried flowers & weeds for wreaths! Loved seeing your home … very pretty ❤

[@theheardhomestead]

Every time mom is in the video my heart is full 😊❤

[@noelmay9]

That draping amaranth makes these arrangements so classic and dramatic. Thanks for sharing your mother/daughter time and creativity!

[@relaxingnatures81]

Love the outcome of the flowers arrangement...You and your mom have a great talent.your onions are so big❤❤❤

[@patbrooks1674]

Love the bouquets you and your mom made. Have you ever sprayed the cattails with clear polyurethane or hair spray to keep them from popping open in the house? I learned the hard way to do that. They are a real mess when they pop open. 😊

[@nolastakem9131]

Love seeing your mom and you together ❤️. Can the onion greens be used in cooking? Watching you harvest the onions made me wonder. I look forward to your videos❤❤❤

[@Cookontherun7391]

Thank you Laura for taking the time to setup the camera shot. Your Mom is absolutely adorable. ❤️🇨🇦

[@barbararobinson-cs3ym]

What a way to start the day. Always enjoy when you and your mom get to be on an adventure. Love the arrangement.

[@debbiegahman2942]

So sorry for your family. I will be praying for you all! ❤

[@taragoodloe4122]

Watching you,your mom,and Benjamin work together was precious. I really liked Benjamin arrangement. The apple definitely doesn't fall far from the tree. Your moms arrangement was also stunning.😊

[@debbiemacy3840]

Love the flower arrangements! We had a terrible drought thru the end of May and the whole month of June, with the unusually hot weather here in the foothills of North Carolina. We just could not water enough to do much good. I lost most of my flowers which broke my heart. Just enjoying watching yours and the beautiful arrangements. Always love Mom videos. You are blessed. I miss mine terribly.

[@sunflowerflight]

I always loved your own foraging videos with your mom and Aaron. I was so excited to see this video. I sure hope you will make more through the year.

[@lidiajimenez2728]

Benjamin's flowers arrangement it's beautiful nice seeing you spending time with your mom have fun God bless😊😊😊

[@krystalnebel7304]

Really in love with the lights under the cabinets in your mom's house and the lights in the cabinets. When I get my new house I am totally doing that. I love when you guys Forage things in the fields. Thank you for taking me on your trip. Have a great weekend my garden friends.

[@smburnette]

What a joy watching you and your mom spending the day together. The memories. Love the two vases you put together with the cat tails.

[@marthaz1183]

Hi Laura , I’m wondering if you’ll ever do a live version of something like this? You, your mom ,and sis seem like very fun to hang out with. Such a blessing to still have your mom. Much love ❤. 😊

[@mykitchen-bygohar]

Love your videos with your mom ❤ so much quality time together. Sending you two beautiful ladies big hugs

[@annehedlund7333]

You know we would do anything with you and your mom! She has such special talents that compliment yours. Her house addition is so liveable! Love you both!

[@terryvanord998]

We in Florida have had temps in the 100’s plus and high humidity all summer, and will, until almost November, so we feel your pain. This time of year we are dealing with hurricanes and tropical storms, so we’ve got high winds and to much rain, we no doubt definitely feel your pain. Hang in there Laura, your good fall weather is coming. I enjoyed the video.

[@shirleyvastine9328]

So glad your Mom finally has her new fridge. Good thing Dad is tall to reach the mysteries in the back of top shelf!!

[@gracebowden9454]

One of the first videos I found of Garden Anwer was one where you and your Mom went foraging for a winter interest container. I was looking for inspiration on what to do in the winter and I'm so glad I found you!

[@pathughes8221]

I love your relationship with your Mom, I too am close to my Mother, what a gift.

[@nataliegrant5456]

Awwww, Benjamin's and your flower arrangements turned out so beautiful.🌻

[@sandykoenig1666]

I so enjoy seeing you with your mother doing all kinds of things, then the peek of you two playing cards. 🙂

[@christileach4644]

What a fun day, Laura and Susan! Also, Laura, I loved that you used the table top right out in the garden versus harvesting, taking behind the barn, then laying them out. What a time and effort saver - which is something I know you strive for! Thank you for taking us along. ❤ xo

[@klhwalker]

When we used cattails in our arrangements we always would spray hair spray on them so they lasted a really long time (same for hydrangeas)

[@pandamama6214]

Loved today's video and enjoyed watching the relaxing time shared with your mom and Benjamin. Can't wait for an update on what your dad thought of his onions. 😊
