UPDATE on $10 Distressed Hydrangeas | GARDENADDICTZ

[@veniecypearman-green3486]

I garden to relieve stress and as a remembrance to my grandmother. She taught me so much about plants and it is my connection to her.

[@lostinmyimagination7485]

I've neglected my yard (except mowing) the whole time I've lived here (about 11 yrs). I have depression and anxiety. I started gardening recently by accident and it has helped so much with my anxiety. I used to hate being dirty lol but I fell in love fast when I realized what I could do even with two mental illnesses. Now the outside of my home is beginning to reflect the love I've put on the inside ❤️.

[@GardenAddictz]

Sending you love and light. "Hugs"

[@raqueld-mgadi8319]

I started gardening during my separation. It was a great way to mentally escape. Now, I'm addicted and it's a great way to bond with my 3 yr old who loves to plant and see his flowers grow. My yard is now a tranquil oasis. Thank you for your inspiring vlogs🥰.

[@jefferyann]

I love the beauty of flowers surrounding me. The actual act of gardening gives me peace and serenity. And.......it’s just plain fun!

[@robbingarcia4072]

When this beginner gardener planted her first landscape shrub at her new home (a Nikko Blue Hydrangea, my wedding flower, and now an anniversary gift from my husband that had lived in a pot for 2 years!), I discovered a love for gardening and felt as though I found a piece of me that I didn’t know was missing! That’s why I garden. And, yes, it has become a magnificent obsession! Love your channel because you speak my language!!💚

[@adrabruzzese7610]

I love to garden for the same reason I love interior design because I need beauty and peace around me. I enjoy digging in the dirt and watching new plantings come to life.😊

[@mindset-empowerment]

I garden because it makes my soul leap with so much joy. I feel good when people stop by to comment on how pretty my yard looks and it motivates my neighbors to improve their yards.

[@nekovero93]

Yayyy, that's my exact sentiments as well.🙂

[@sayitlouderforthepeopleint1114]

Gardening is like dreaming but you're not sleeping. You're making it come true.

[@melissamcclain9579]

Gardening is my Zen. It heals my soul and grounds me to my farming ancestors.

[@evelynbrooks739]

Gardening became my therapy after the loss of my 19 year old son with cancer. It has been a gift from God. It got me through some rough times. Thank you.

[@tbone40551]

I garden for the love of blooms. And the gratification of watching the transformation of a landscape.

[@cityofpraiseinc]

I garden because it is very relaxing. I also garden because of KZbin channels like yours.

[@lanabisson2675]

my garden passion is fueled by creativity, and the joy it brings to our elderly community who walk by. It is my exercise and my therapy. Im happiest when Im dirty in the garden.

[@ayabellene]

I garden because I love loving and nurturing. They give me something to look forward to each day. I end up getting more and more plants so that I dont mess with the ones that dont need so much of my love and affection.

[@Sonjaic]

Wow! Hydrangeas looking good! Going today to check out my neighborhood nursery to see if they have any of sale. I garden because of the feeling I get when I come home and look at my little garden. It makes me happy and peaceful. There are many things about the process of gardening that teach me about my own life and how hard work and care can make things beautiful again.

[@sandrapadgett9481]

I am 74 and I like to garden to stay active and be surrounded by the beauty of flowers, butterflies and birds.

[@angieartis8454]

I garden because I have an anxiety disorder and gardening always calms me . There is something about planting a plant and watching it grow that brings my spirit peace. I love getting in the garden and creating life and beauty all around me.

[@tlovesgreens8244]

I garden because it makes me so happy! I started gardening to help me get and stay delivered from drugs, a vegetable garden. I'm four years clean. After two years of food gardening, I added on flowers and havn't looked back.😉😍🙏🏾🌺🌿🌾🌹🌱🌼

[@denacarper8809]

The transformation of something is what is so satisfying for me. A plain front yard, a tired mailbox, just changing something so small can make such a huge difference. I love to step back and look at the beautiful flowers God created when it's all finished.

[@FriedaBabbley]

I garden because it's healing. Bonus: it makes a great workout.

[@rosadelgado6813]

My mom moved to a different state. I got so depressed because I miss her so much. I started to garden to remind me of her. She always loved to garden. Since then I just love how it makes me feel. Love your channel and your advise.

[@jenniemigz9772]

I garden because it’s my therapy too. My plants and flowers don’t judge me, they show their love and appreciation by being big and beautiful! I go to my happy place when I garden...and I love your channel! Just bought six clearance plants at Lowes because of your channel. 😊💜👍🏽

[@MarthaBoddie]

I garden because I didn't think I ever could. Growing up with less, you aren't exposed to much and one day, taking a tour of beautiful University of NC, I was hooked and I've been gardening every since. Flowers, vegetables, you name it and I'll plant it. After a full day of stressful work, I find solace in my yard!

[@heatherlopez4592]

I garden because it makes me happy and help to keep my stress in check. I'm a mom of 2 special needs kids. In love with gardening, in the process of redoing our garden striped everything out and starting new.

[@marthagreene8670]

I garden because as I get older I find that I would rather be outside in nature than anywhere else. I have been inspired by you because you are a real trial and error gardener. You only promote beauty and enthusiasm.

[@babyoun6]

I garden because it’s something my dad loved and was his passion. He planted some perennials including a limelight plant in my new house last year before he passed away. I started maintaining his plants as a way to remember my dads memory and surprisingly I learned to really love gardening. It became so therapeutic and rewarding to see the flowers and plants come alive, especially seeing his hydrangea double in size this year.

[@Stephseiden]

Congratulations! I garden because, it just feels like wherever I’m gardening is home. I moved around and was in foster care for a bit as a kid. When I finally got my own place I started with a couple of plants on my balcony and have been hooked on gardening ever since.

[@kristathompson9888]

Gardening for me is like therapy. I find it very peaceful and it makes me very happy.

[@diegolicon8268]

I garden because gardens are beautiful! They are immensely therapeutic, whether you are an admirer or a gardener (though I think it’s the most therapeutic for the gardener). It also reminds me of my mother, who since I was a child, showed me how beautiful gardens can be. She’s always kept her garden full of beautiful plants and now I hope to do the same.

[@dinahcastellano115]

To release stress. The noise of the water, the raking of the leaves just makes me smile.

[@vanessam.w.4368]

I love gardening because its a generational blessing from my mother who loved gardening and knew the names of hundreds of plants. As a disabled veteran, I have begun a community flower healing garden in the neighborhood in which I grew up and have watched your and other channels to learn best practices and am so happy that the transformation in the landscape is beautiful and an ongoing process.

[@kathygill819]

We just bought a house and the weeds were 6 feet tall. I have started gardening to bring new life to the yard, loving the transformation and the exercise is great!

[@noragarcia252]

I also garden because it's therapy for me. I've been down that road of depression. I'm happy your doing much better as I am too.

[@safefromdaapes7109]

I love gardening to see butterflies and bees around.🌹😍🌺🌸

[@nokesvillehaunt915]

I garden because I have a high stress job that requires a lot of patience so it helps me to destress from a long day. Digging in the dirt has always been therapeutic for me. My favorite part of gardening is saving nursery throw always and bringing them back to life. I have always heard the more you garden the longer you live.

[@Theblackbumblebee]

Unbelievable of throw aways,never noticed until l started gardening this year

[@alizacooper2937]

I love being surrounded by the beauty of creation, and it really helps if I get anxiety.

[@lyla.aisle.of.blooms]

I love creating beautiful spaces, and gardening, especially hydrangeas, help make that dream into reality.

[@auntieyada1752]

I started gardening to help my mom when she was diagnosed with degenerate disc disease. Now I garden as a stress relief and because I love watching things that appear dead come back to life and grow!

[@kgoodman4940]

I garden because it brings me closer to my mom, who died years ago. She was a plant and flower enthusiast and I feel like I’m continuing her legacy. 💚

[@sashafeagin]

I garden to relieve stress and grow some food for my family. It's nothing better than watching my kids happily eat food straight from the garden.

[@joanneblair5868]

I have MS and it’s healing for my soul. Love to take a plant on the brink of death and give it a chance to be all it can be. You inspire me.

[@phungktk533]

How wonderful, so glad I found your channel a few weeks ago. I garden because I like to grow food for my family and see pretty flowers, knowing I helped make them grow.

[@tropicalplantmomma]

I love gardening because my mom,always had gardens and still does to this day. I always would be out helping her and digging around. Every time I'm in my garden I think of her and her gardens! ✌💖

[@nathanharpur465]

🎉Congratulations on 3k subscribers! You have done so much to get this far! I love your videos and you are so generous doing a giveaway!🎉 🌹🌺🌸🌻 I love gardening because it helps me get rid of stress. I know when I garden that whatever is bothering me can go away. Another reason why I like gardening is because it gives back; the more work people put into their garden the more they get back in beautiful blooms and bountiful harvests. This makes me proud of my garden so they and have something to be happy about. 🌻🌸🌺🌹 🌱Love from Ireland 🌱

[@jeffzimmerman25]

Great video! I'm on a hydrangea thing lately 😂 I garden because I love the before and after and the relaxation it provides.

[@wendyperalta3300]

So happy you found away to get yourself out of depression. I suffer from depression as well and it gives me joy to garden. I have Peony’s, Rose bushes, Blackeyed Susans, pink cone flowers, rose of Sharon. I keep adding every year. This year I bought a couple plants on clearance. I’m sure they will come up next year. I’m still enjoying them now. Take Care.

[@misslawlady]

I garden because my grandmother was a great example. My grandmother is recently deceased and growing up she gardened all the time - flowers, vegetable garden, everything. It appeared calming for her and is calming for me. I had no idea growing up how much seeing her would influence me to want to do the same thing now. It's also a great way for me and my toddler daughter to bond.

[@vickytimmons319]

I'm so happy for you hitting over 3,000 subscribers. I went looking around for some cool garden channels on KZbin., found yours, and JACKPOT! Love your content, and especially like that you do a lot of things on a budget. I garden for the satisfaction of being able to create something beautiful for myself and my neighborhood. I love having my hands in the soil and watching things mature. Such mental peace and satisfaction in finding that I can do it too. Thank you.

[@bradjohnson361]

I garden not just for me but also for passing people to just have something that maybe makes their day a bit brighter and to enjoy.

[@bloomingnut23]

Gardening gives me peace of mind and I love seeing all the outdoor life. The birds the bugs even the spiders 😆. Plus come on all the colors of the flowers feed my soul! I’ve always had a garden even as a kid it’s just in me.

[@cring768]

I just love having flowers around. Seeing the growth and changes in them is so satisfying.

[@kaiffeinated]

Congrats on hitting 3K! 💕 You make gardening look easy. I aspire to be an intuitive plant mom like you when I have my own home. You have a beautiful personality and I binge your content. You deserve more subscribers 😊🙌🏼💕

[@kindigdm]

It’s a peaceful distressed time for me. Seeing the flowers grow is wonderful

[@kamilahroyal1]

I garden because it is therapeutic and it I love to contribute to beauty and well-being of the earth by planting a lot of pollinator plants. Gardening has also brought my husband and I closer.

[@irenealejo4619]

I've been gardening for almost 40 years, even when I rented and had very little money. I would think to myself, in the garden it doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor if your doing something that you love. However I too clearance shop now because plants are so darn expensive!😄 Your hard work and passion is not lost on me! May God continue to bless you!❤️

[@lhumphrey556]

I garden because it’s therapeutic for me and I love the process of watching the garden develop.

[@suzannehager7036]

Who in this world doesn’t love the sight and smell of pretty flowers? What a feeling it is to to nurture my tiny little plants until they grow into something so universally loved! I’m so proud of all my flower babies. In some small way, I’m helping to make this world a better place😃

[@bloomy974]

I garden because i love idesigning a garden, imagining what it would be like and I do my best to make it happen, despite many failures... And most of all I love collecting and i'm a rose and hydrangea addict!

[@lindastrand4723]

I’ m a seventy two year old gardener and love gardening both inside with my houseplants and outside. I love the smell and feel of digging in the dirt especially in the spring after a long winter. Besides being therapeutic, it also helps keep these old bones and muscles working. The fulfillment after a day of gardening is indescribable.

[@cynthiaborden4209]

Flowers have an inner beauty where they don't compete or put you down. Give them food water and sunshine and they share their love with hummingbirds, bees and even annoying deer's:} Gardening reminds me how beautiful life can be.

[@karenburke5979]

I raised my 3 kids alone. They are grown and gone. So now I raise flowers and watch them grow ❤

[@maureenmccrackin6933]

i knew those hydrangeas would thrive thanks to your TLC! I've been gardening for many years. Gardening is soothing, relaxing, joyful and give me hope after a long bleak Canadian winter!

[@patsyboucher1259]

I love gardening because it gives me joy a inner peace it brings relaxation to the mind there are so beautiful i love to care for them it is my hobby

[@aw4always]

Gardening makes me feel nurtured and nourished and brings life to my yard. In my area in the past few years there's been a development boom and everybody with even a little land to sell has done so...concrete city. Gardening rescues me from that and is my little statement of defiance.

[@aliciamarieplus321]

Gardening is so therapeutic for me it has changed my life and the way I view all living things also i’m allergic to bees and very terrified of them so it helps me get over my fear and share the garden with them!

[@sallyroque7613]

I garden because my grandparents taught me the love of gardening when I was young, and I picked it back up when I was an adult - it makes me happy to see all of the beautiful colors out in my yard.

[@susanmclaughlin8795]

I have gardened now for 50 years, remembering my mother gardening as I grew up. It gives me pleasure remembering her and all of her advice and the flowers she loved.

[@MsBlack-rs1ds]

I love gardening because it first loved me! Our relationship is built on patience, a mutual nurturing, and - not unlike most relationships - trial and error. We're both happier, healthier, and more beautiful as a result.

[@seasoneddiva160]

I cannot believe the rehab you put on those hydrangeas!! I will never be afraid to buy dead looking plants at the nursery again, LOL!! I garden because it's smoothing. Something happens to me when my hands are in dirt, or I see something I planted pushing through to life. I love it.

[@sudhayadav9256]

I really like how you make gardening feel like an inexpensive n easy way... This is what makes u different from other gardeners who bring full vibrant color flowered plants compared to u who brings a almost a dead plants gives it life.Hatsoff to ur patience n confidence 🙏.Thanks a lot for saving many plants .

[@pamlamb892]

I garden because it feeds my soul. It allows me to be creative and enjoy the wonder and beauty of nature.🌺

[@rainydays1105]

I started a memory garden after the loss of my sisters. I planted a gardenia, rose, hydrangea. From there the garden took off. Seeing life and beauty from all the plants makes me grateful for all that I have instead of feeling sorrow. Thanks for your video!

[@kknichols8067]

I started answering your question mid-video but when you finished it up with your own answer, it really struck a chord with me. I too struggled after my child was born but didn’t discover the healing power of gardening until he was old enough to leave in the house alone. But once I got outside, a simple goal of taming an unkempt front yard turned into an all-encompassing passion. It is such a centering pursuit that hits all the marks: connection to the earth, beauty, creativity, knowledge, exercise...the list goes on. But ultimately I find it healing. I’m not commenting to be entered in the giveaway - I hope you choose someone that might have a harder time affording gardening tools. And yeah, I guess I just wrote a thesis so I wouldn’t be qualified anyway! 😊 Keep up the great work; you’re creating an important niche on KZbin for rehabbing plants and showing how you can garden without spending a ton of money. I also love that we’re zone neighbors (I garden in the DC area) so your weather and climate is tracking with mine. Enjoy the sun today!

[@nekovero93]

Awesome, love your response, it mirrors mine, only longer..lol..👍

[@susieg2221]

I garden because it holds me accountable on all of my worst habits: having patience, being consistent, and being persistent.

[@shannonleary9216]

Gardening is my form of physical and mental therapy. I plant my garden like a painting and my flowers are the artistic medium I use to paint the canvas and express my personal creativity. Gardening has kept me somewhat sane over the last 20 years ;)

[@Laurablushing]

I started gardening to help the bees and then just became addicted! It helps me both mentally and physically, BONUS! I prayed so long to find a hobby that I’d enjoy doing everyday and I finally found it!

[@bdrew247]

I garden to relax. Seeing a plant grow and flourish is life fulfilling.

[@catherinebaghdan7231]

I garden because not only is it a relaxing hobby, but I love to enjoy the end results just sitting there early morning drinking my coffee and watching the birds come and enjoy the garden with me.

[@judymckerrow6720]

I love the beauty of flowers. P.S like your hair. Good job with those hydrangeas!

[@joosybic]

I have a black thumb, but my late mother in law was a master gardener. I’ve never given thought as to why I garden but I guess it’s to feel like I’m still connected with her. I miss her dearly...

[@lovepeace4635]

Bees species are declining and we need them.I started planting pollinators and native plants , everyday more bees are coming to my garden

[@cathyhutchins1890]

I garden simply because I find it enjoyable. It provides me with a sense of accomplishment, exercise, and serenity. At the end of the day, there is nothing better than relaxing on my porch, looking out over my garden and thinking, “I created that through my own hard work.”

[@maricelasanchez8439]

I garden because I love to see things become more beautiful. Gardening adds beauty to my home and to my neighborhood, and that brings me so much joy. I also really love to hear from people that my garden brings them delight and brightens their day.

[@Clarisse_Cruz]

I garden because it brings me joy. I had really bad depression after looking for a home for 8 months for me and my boyfriend. We broke up 2 months after I bought our place. I started to hate my house and my regret my decision. I needed something to keep me busy and started looking for ways to make my home feel like home. Gardening really really helped lift that heavy feeling. Now I can focus on taking care of something that brings me happiness! I live 1 minute away from Lowes and recently scored endless summer hydrangeas for $2.19! Love your videos!

[@GardeningwithBernie]

Gardening is LIFE! I love to seeing my work payoff in my yard after I’ve planted and cared for my flowers, Vegas and herbs. It’s just so satisfying.

[@shanteschmiesing8718]

I love gardening because it releases stress and flowers are beautiful to look at

[@amychana3939]

I have two young boys 2 & 4 and my job is rehab for spinal injuries. I was feeling totally burnt out and low. Watching videos like yours taught me how to garden. I gave it a go and now I am totally hooked. Gardening gave me my joy of life back. So now I can give back to others again. It's my peace, my space, my excitement. I love love love it. Thank you so much for showing me how 🤩🧚‍♀️

[@fostbobb]

I enjoy gardening because it's relaxing and it makes me happy. Also love watching it grow.

[@wandastrickler2564]

I am new to your channel and just love it. I love gardening because I’m 85 years old and the exercise I get and the peace of mind is just great for me I feel relaxed. I can’t wait to get out of my yard and deadhead ,transplant flowers and do stuff like that. I also get plants on discounts I call them my rescue plants. Thank you for your channel.

[@robinrummel1359]

Also want to say I love your honesty and generosity, congratulations on your quickly growing channel! Keep on planting!!!👍🌱🌻

[@Ahanley00]

I garden because it reminds me that life is resilient.

[@Theblackbumblebee]

Happy tears,life is so good with flowers

[@belindabruceaustin5419]

I love to garden because it relaxes me and is good exercise and I love seeing my gardens come to life with all the blooms and colors, gardening keeps a smile on my face.

[@GerriElder]

I garden because it's healthy, makes my yard look better and I love flowers. I am so happy your channel is growing so fast!!

[@denisegordon06]

I garden because I like to look at beautiful things! And smell all the wonderful scents! And to feel the earth in my hands!

[@renayrenay9342]

Why do I garden? I garden to keep me sane. It relaxes me, it makes me happy and I love to look back at my garden and see the fruits of my labor. It’s therapeutic and allows me to appreciate God’s beauty. Love your channel! Got my garden buddies following you. Good job!

[@Edu_Kate]

I know, giveaway over. I garden because it connects me to our planet. I love getting my hands dirty (rarely keep gloves on) feeling the soil structure, checking on worm population, adding amendments. It's an expression of my creativity. I love seeing the arrangement of color I assembled come to life in an orchestrated way. Gardening brings out the kindness in people. We share tips and plant divisions. Being a gardener makes me feel I'm an expert in ways I feel less than elsewhere.

[@sabrinahogan4457]

I garden because it puts me in a peaceful and serene place.

[@deeee777]

I garden because looking at my yard brings me so much happiness AND has started to motivate my neighbors to care for their yards. I live on the Southside of Chicago and didn't care about my yard for soooo long because no one in my block did. Then, after being tired of looking at my eye sore, I started buying plants and getting my grass healthy. Now, my neighbors on both sides of me have started buying plants and taking care of their grass.

[@kadettamiller9363]

It brings back good childhood memories with my great grandmother, we would get up at 5:30 am in the summer to explore her plants and vegetables. Also, gardening eases my fears, tears and worries. I love beautiful hydrangeas, thank you for your channel, be blessed.

[@Theblackbumblebee]

Me too, I regret not learning

[@adamfromgardenofeden]

I garden because it is therapeutic. Love hearing bees and birds while I garden, and for curb appeal. 🌺🌺

[@fayedarling]

Because I love all the different color flowers that I can change every year on my walkway & porch, plus to make my neighbors jealous lol 😂
