Helping My Mom Plant a Butterfly Garden! 🦋🙌💚// Garden Answer

[@channelprille]

There’s something about the way your mom speaks that I love. She is so… sweet and charming and motherly… ❤️❤️❤️

[@dianequist835]

I agree! There is such a gentleness about her.

[@lunaimadog4723]

I was thinking the same. Full of calmness and sweetness of her voice. I forget the voice of my mother for a while and the craziness around the world.🤗😅 🙏🕊️❤️

[@katiedavis5861]

Yes! She is a beautiful soul

[@Miguel195211]

I do like the way the mom speaks. Soft voice, very agreeable.

[@DebzZi]

I wish I could sound so soothing and gentle! I cannot imagine her ever raising her voice.

[@morenagalamgam4485]

I lost my mom more than 10 years now. This video reminds me so much of her as she is a gardener too. Thanks to you, Laura and Mom, for bringing me such happy memories of my own mom just by watching this video. I cannot wait to see those "butterflies" fly away and bring so much joy to this space.

[@be_you2023]

Deepest condolences.

[@rosiesingleton6480]

I lost my mom 11 yrs ago - and like Laura & her mom - we had a similar relationship 🥰. Brings back great memories when I watch them. They are the best mom & daughter team on Utube 👍🏻❤️

[@sharoncherry6801]

I lost my mom last December, and I was thinking the same thing. She loved to garden in her younger years. I miss her greatly! But this video brings me joy!

[@sherylemoore8626]

My mother died when I was young, nearly 50 years now. Watching Laura and her mother work and garden together has reminded me of what might have been. So glad they are able to share such wonderful times together.

I LOVED everything about this video! Smiled the whole time! What a nice break from the crazy world! Thank you both!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Same!

[@happytr33fri3nd5]

I love “helping mom” videos! Watching your videos over the past few years has really helped to give me a drive and the beginnings of a new passion. I have been mulling the idea of starting a garden for my mother who has a completely raw yard and I think this is the year. With each video you produce the amount of inspiration you generate is astounding and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me, and so so many others, to find a passion to bring back the light of life!

I know she's reworking parts of her garden but PLEASE OH PLEASE tell her we'd love a garden tour this summer whatever state it is in. Because I really learned so much about layering colors of foliage once you shared her garden tour videos a few years ago. Thanks! Love all your videos Laura.

Good morning, Laura ☕️. I just love episodes with your mom! I lost my mom when I was 14 and every episode of you & your mom make me wonder if we would be sharing the love of gardening together like you two do. You two have such a beautiful relationship that I so envy 😭. Cherish her, Laura. I miss my mom every day and it’s been 37 years. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

[@dianemunson9698]

Thank you for highlighting my reply this is very special to me because she had a beautiful yard & we did briefly speak on the possibility of her having a butterfly garden just another sweet note she & I did also share a love of bird songs & the sound of many chapel bells .

Ya'll are so adorable together. My mother isn't much of an outdoor gardener (more of a inside plant person) but this is why she has me! :) I love to be able to plant up her front porch area even if she doesn't ask for it. She enjoys what ever I come up with and she'll call me later and say how much it makes her smile. That is all we can ask for as daughters. To bring some added joy into our mother's day. I admire the bond you all have with your mother, Monica included of course.
