What a loving child, Samantha kissing all the statues❤️❤️❤️

[@ingesexton811]

Lol and god bless Laura…. I would be yelling about germs or something. She’s so laid back and just lets them be kids.

[@charlottea.cavatica8423]

Fun day! I don’t think you are aware of how wonderful the bowl you planted in is. It’s from England’s famous Kew Gardens & very costly. Whoever sent it to you was very generous. The entire collection is lovely. I have many & love them.

[@youbetcha108]

She wasn’t just kissing any type of statue. She was kissing the angel statues. Look closely. I did.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Laura and Aaron, I love how sweet little Samantha gives all of the statues and animals kisses when she sees them, she's absolutely precious. Laura, your amaryllis collecting compulsion seems to be rubbing off on Monica, I love her giggle. The house plants all look wonderful potted up and nestled into their new homes. It's always a delight to go with you guys to your parent's garden center, they are so warm and welcoming. Have a great week! ~Margie🤗

[@esterklerfors7965]

So much recognition seeing your mom having lunch, sitting by her desk. That’s the life of a hard working person with a business of her own.💪💚

[@nikkiclark2752]

So loved❤ seeing Samantha Grace talking so much. She is a honey bun! How has Monica adjusted to her move and working at the garden center? I think she has such a fun and witty sense of humor. More Monicas please!

[@elenibraley8222]

Do your parents charge extra for the "Samantha Grace 'Smooched' Collection"? So adorable!

[@kathybrown8497]

LOL!

[@cynthiaann4465]

Wasn’t that so cute the way she was kissing the figural pieces?!?!! 💋

[@barblafargue1076]

That pot with the amaryllis is just beautiful thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@charlesmcdermett9251]

😂😂😂

[@sherylemoore8626]

Samantha Grace is so precious and a sweetheart! It is so much fun to see the children growing and the smile on your Dad's face at seeing his grandchildren is worth a zillion dollars. No only do we get marvelous gardening advice and inspiration, but also sweet moments like this. Love your channel.

[@pegcurrie3337]

This is one of the best videos ever the mixture of plant, kids and how to plant amaryllis review was truly great for those addicted to Garden Answer and those who may be new to the Garden Answer world.👍👍

[@Mindy-s-channel]

Samantha Grace steals the show ❤❤❤❤and everyone’s hearts

[@margaretpervier8357]

The Pussywillow branches looked like they had Christmas lights on them😊❤

[@anncox8403]

Watching Samantha hug and kiss the statues brought back such a sweet but costly memory of taking our first granddaughter to a nursery when she was Samantha's age. She, too, went from one angel to another kissing and caressing each one until she leaned on one and knocked it over. She burst into tears as its head rolled across the floor. Of course, I ended up purchasing it and my husband repaired it with auto body cement. We call it our "Fallen Angel" and it still holds a special place in our gardens (and memories) 25 years later. What a joy to have the children make cameo appearances in your videos. Also, I just loved the pussy willow trellis idea - a great take away for me from this video.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Oh my word...... Samantha kissing all of the statues......and just being so sweet and adorable!!! So cute! All of the plants looked gorgeous when you were done. I just love this "channel."

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Awwww your kids hugging at the beginning is sooo cute!

[@sandrawoodall6545]

Your little girl looks just like your mum especially when she smiles 😊so sweet.

[@connievanwinkle507]

Has Monica ever thought about starting her own KZbin channel about cooking, crafting and such? She has a great personality like yours Laura! I would definitely subscribe and watch!

[@shirleysenkler781]

Loved seeing Samantha walking around and talking. She was adorable with her tiny pig and kissing the statues. Love your plant haul, the amaryllis will look so pretty with the branch trellises.

[@oilinmylamp]

Samantha Grace is getting so big. It is so precious to see her reaction to her surroundings; her enjoyment of all the different things that catch her attention. So sweet.

[@cherylspates4972]

This was just flat out drool worthy! So many beautiful plants. And I'd just about fly across the country to baby sit that sweet little Samantha Grace. She is such a little doll.

[@heidijones1516]

Great video, I loved the variety today. I am blown away by your parents store! There are so many beautiful things to look at and the variety of house and garden plants is incredible. I love seeing your family in the videos, you guys are truly blessed to be so close, logistically and emotionally. My siblings all moved out of state, both of my parents are gone, my daughter is grown and my one grandson is now 16. Watching your videos reminds me of the fun times my family had together . . . the good old days. Thank you!!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I think it’s time to adopt a young family that has nowhere to go for the holidays! Lots of kids out there that need a grandma.

[@mindyrutkowski3124]

Awwwww sweet Samantha kissing all the statues ❤❤❤she is the cutest❤❤

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Gorgeous arrangement with the willow branches!!! Sophisticated and rustic together, love it!!! 💕 And we could watch Samantha all day!!!! 😁🫶🏻

[@nikkihunter7606]

Laura, the smile on your face as you walk into the Hartley is the exact reason we watch your videos and love you! You brighten my day and inspire me to think out of my creative box! You have a beautiful family and your kiddos are growing way too fast! Many blessing to you all!! ❤

[@joannefuller]

Watching Samantha kiss St. Francis and the angels, just warmed my heart. Absolutely precious. Thank you for sharing your babies and families with us. ♡

[@debbiemacy3840]

I love the idea of using the branches for supports in the amaryllis. Beautiful. Samantha is the cutest.

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

First of all thank you for starting my morning off seeing Benjamin and Samantha giving each other hugs. I automatically started smiling seeing them together and I absolutely love Samantha's outfit!! To see her going through the store and hugging thing's, well let's just say I got misty eyes from watching her do this. God has blessed you and Aaron with two precious children. Now to you Laura. When you say you're going down to the garden center to pickup a couple of house plants,that to means maybe 3-4 plants. So when you say " I'm going to go to garden center and pick out a couple of plants" we now know that you will come home with close to 10 or more plants...lol. Just watching you look for the plants makes me crack up. You would think that you had found a treasure by the way you carry-on about the plant. Which is totally cool ,cause you love plants. I would be that way if I would walk into a store that sold different kinds of cakes, pies, displays of chocolate or seeing beautiful Christmas ornaments. If I had bought plants like you just did they would be dead by next week. You even got Monica to buy a plant. I love seeing you and your family together ❤️ !! I bet your dad is a softie. Like a giant teddy bear. I would love to see when your whole family gets together!! I can just see and hear all the fun and laughter you guys have together. I miss those days with my family. Thank you for sharing your family with us. It always makes me feel happy to see you all together.

[@gnorman8852]

The pot w/ the amaryllis & ivy is an interesting container. But the grid addition creates such interest of its own w/ the little buds along each branch. Really pretty!

[@barbarajohnson1348]

Just yesterday I was looking at greenhouse plants and highlighted plants and thinking.... for someone who says she's not into houseplants. I thought boy those look pretty great in background. Then today more. Amazing. Your teaching us so much young lady.

[@camicri4263]

Oh so cute! Samantha is so adorable, touching the birds and kissing the pretty statues, playing with the little pig, such a wonderful age and she is so different than Benjamin....so much fun to watch them grow! Kids get so excited, we sometimes forget to get excited about things especially whe the kids are all grown up! Great reminder to see yours! Beautiful plants! 🤗🤗💞💞🤗🤗

[@valerieunger211]

I loved everything about this video! Samantha Grace! I could watch her all day❤. And as you were potting things up I was thinking, “I hope you put a bunch of these in the Hartley!” And you did! Beautiful! I love that curly ficus. I love how you planted up the amaryllis. Just stellar, as always. 😊 can you tell I’m a gushing, unapologetic fan? 😂 I’ve been watching you since your townhouse beginnings and you’ve become a special part of my days. I muddle through Saturday, but only because there’s a recap video coming soon. Thank you for sharing your joy, enthusiasm, expertise, selflessness, family, and boundless energy with us. I was an enthusiastic energized gardener myself for many years but have had mobility challenges of late that have greatly curtailed my activity and your videos give a tremendous vicarious boost to my life! I want you to know how you’ve deeply blessed my life and during this season of thanksgiving, I count you and Garden Answer among my blessings! Much love and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your precious family❣️❣️❣️

[@catfromillinois6646]

LOVE when you all go to the Garden Center!! And Samantha Grace, could she be any cuter!! From her little kisses for all the statues and her little squeal! Thanks for the tour and the smiles, what a great way to start my day!!

[@altheab.8907]

What a joyful video! Loved seeing the children at the garden center. Benjamin is getting so tall and little Samantha Grace is such a cutie. Really enjoyed seeing her and her tiny little piggy and kissing all the angel statues. Children are such a joy at that age when they’re beginning to talk. Nice to see the proud grandparents and auntie interacting with them too. Such a nice family. The only thing that would’ve made it better is if your brother and his family had stopped by. 🥰💖🦋🕊

[@BurningOrchids]

Pink Princess Philodendron is EXPENSIVE. Little Prince spoiled you!

[@frankmuehle3490]

Hi! I absolutely appreciate how you edit your videos, the end-product is so beautiful and easy to watch. It never bores, the music choices are great, and, btw, the way you portray all of your family is just heart warming! Keep up the good work, I am sure you are a bright spot not just in my life.

[@babe9293]

Everything’s so beautiful! Laura, you are so gifted. I love the way you potted the amaryllises! The Harley is to die for and your family is nothing but love!❤

[@theresarasche3173]

The kids are so cute together ❤️ I can’t believe how fast Samantha Grace is growing! They’re so wonderful ❤

[@novellabloom5825]

Samantha sounds so much like Benjamin. So precious! ❤

[@judyingram4846]

Awwwww little Benjamin and Samantha Grace giving hugs to each other at the beginning of the video priceless. Samantha Grace is so cute and giving all the statue's kisses so precious. So many beautiful plants❤️

[@michelerok4252]

What a joy watching Samatha Grace. She is such a cutie. Seeing the kids and Russell and cheddar and the rest of the gang in your videos makes a great start to my day. Happy Holidays to you all and I look forward to seeing your Christmas videos of decorating. Many blessings always

[@majorzipf8947]

Andrews is the most beautiful little garden center. It is so beautifully set up but most astounding to me, every time, is how darn healthy the plants are. The plants I can purchase near me are always stressed and half dying.

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

I can’t believe how fast she’s growing up. Both Benjamin and Samantha are becoming little big people right before our eyes. I have a few house plants in my home but after touring the garden center, it makes me want to fill the house with house plants. I just have to figure out if I want that task of caring for so many inside.

[@grassrootsgardening]

Love the Pink Princess Philodendron! We groww a lot of those and yours has some real nice variegation!🪴

[@PD-eh5dd]

Love watching the children they are so sweet. And really enjoy watching you and plants flowers anything with outside inside, with regular plants. Have a wonderful week.

[@lelebroge1993]

Thank you so much for posting as frequently as you do. I can’t imagine how much effort you, Arron, and your families put into making sure you have the time to film, but I so appreciate the level of effort you put into this for us! Your videos are what I look forward to every morning when trying to start the day in a place of zen and inspiration. Much love. ❤

[@charissechamorro5581]

And the amount of work it takes to make such quality videos with the different views you give us is more than most know. I don’t know how much editing your editor (Ken?) does for you, but kudos to him as well. On my way to go get amaryllis!!!

[@carolesawyer1133]

I am totally copying your Amaryllis bowl! Love the addition of the pussy willow branches as a natural support system. After watching the rest of this video, I’m off to my local garden center!

[@laraemitchell9064]

I’m betting those pussy willows start to grow in there. 🤞

[@jwynn2592]

Me too!

[@terrivance8750]

Laura, Aaron, Big HUGS--such a delightful way to start the video! Good for the heart & soul!!! ❤❤❤

[@randomharts]

The restocking/facing of the display after taking the amaryllis box gave me a chuckle!😂Exactly something I’d do! It’s almost automatic when I’m shopping as I worked in grocery and retail for many years and had to stock shelves for a living😉

[@annehedlund7333]

I noticed that also!

[@marthamiriam8983]

This was what I needed to get me in the Holiday spirit. You are truly a blessing to us all❤ Gorgeous plants in perfect pots!

[@tonybaroud3511]

I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship where are you from?

[@lynnventura1322]

When growing orchids I always put a coffee filter in the bottom to hold the mix in the container. Consequently I've carried that over to houseplants so the soil doesn't wash out the drain hole....

[@vbee3571]

Your parents’ garden center must have the best supplier. The houseplants are always so big and full and healthy!

[@Tifb87]

You have such a beautiful family ! 💗

[@jennifernash4638]

I had to rush around and bring a bunch of plants inside last night and this morning I went outside to discover my draecana was forgotten! She made it through, though, and now lives in a warm spot in my living room where she looks like she should have been all along. I would love to have a studio space like yours - it's so gorgeous - but that will have to wait. I am so bad with houseplants because I forget to water them (even with phone reminders), but I keep trying to do better.

[@brooksstudiosgarden1615]

Those pink Princess plants go for hundreds of dollars! That’s crazy they gave her one for free! Pays to be the Queen! ❤

[@seespotrun12100]

The saddest word’s ever “ so guys that is it for today’s vedio” I just want to cry when I hear it 🥹😊

[@Elizabeth-nx6us]

Laura! You sound exactly like me in a greenhouse: "isn't that beautiful?!" hehe & little Samantha Grace kissing all the angels is just the tops 😘

[@prairie2gem]

Laura, any word on how the giant Christmas Cactus you repotted is doing? Almost time for it to be in bloom ☺️

[@dannettesavas3269]

I can see you’re going to get your horses because Samantha said so and daddy won’t be able to say no😂❤

[@laraemitchell9064]

Christmas is gonna be SO fun with the kids this year!! So magical! Christmas really is for kids and so much more enjoyable to see their wonder and delight!!!💚🌲💚🌲💚

[@YSLRD]

Isn't it a joy to watch them? Christmas does mean so much to kids. Their openness and sense of wonder lets in all the joy. Hopefully, we mature into adults who can see the beautiful depths of the season and love it in a different way.

[@carriesmith9943]

I could watch Samantha all day. She is so precious, I love her excitement over everything!

[@carolmccall9087]

So lovely, Laura! As always, you do the most creative, beautiful arrangements!🩵🪴🪴🪴

Love watching your videos with Samantha Grace and Benjamin you make it so special by including all the family your plants are so pretty

[@peggyburns8244]

Video suggestion: could you post a video on how to re-stake a huge pothos? The stake in my 3 year old plant broke at soil level and I need to add an additional or change out the current stake…and that will lead to pruning, repotting, etc😳😬! Thank you for all that you and your family/friends do!!

[@MicheleLHarvey]

Love how we got to see your Dad's soft side when Samantha Grace entered the store! And always sweet to see Monica & your Mom. I can feel everyone's growing excitement for the holidays! Those Little Prince houseplants were a fab addition & perfectly packed! Can't wait to see your amaryllis in their glory!

[@susanturner9023]

I also love watching the Hartley fill up with plants! ✌🏻🙏🏼❤️

[@amberpoynter3303]

Can't wait to see that peacock tree that we got a peak of :)

[@eddye7764]

This was so much fun! The kids are adorable! I love how you incorporated the stems into the amaryllis! And I just placed an order (the day of this video) to Little Prince and received the plants a few days later! I ordered through your link and the plants arrived just like you said, all wrapped up, heat pad and all! I was very impressed and the plants are beautiful! I plan to give some as a gift. Thank Laura and Little Prince! 🪴🐸👑

What's Becoming More And More Noticeable, Is Just How Many Times Laura Refers To Benjamin As ... ' Dude.'

[@teresab6502]

Yes and Samantha is "baby girl."

[@dianequist835]

@@w.bovgvereav5761 yes, I've noticed this as well. I'm not much of a pet name caller/giver. I love how given names are the original motives of identity.

I love seeing all things new through a child’s eye and the joy in the ordinary for us but oh so exciting for them. It is one of my most favorite things. Thanks Laura you hooked me in on the Amaryllis,even your sister isn’t immune to your charms! We know how you feel Monica ❤😂
