Making a High Impact Spring Arrangement for a School Fundraiser! 🌷🥰🪻 // Garden Answer

[@eroswv]

How cool. $475 for the arrangement. I am betting who ever bought it was thrilled to have a "Laura Original."

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

Oh I would be so excited to have something Laura did personally, in a way many of us have a bit of Laura's touch in most things we do in the garden, at least I do.

[@HisameArtwork]

seems like it cost no more than 100 or so $ to make, depending on what the prices are in her area. We lived in Michigan now we're back in Europe. so 475 is a nice donation. I doubt ppl in shops would pay more than 150 for pre-arranged, even if it was a Laura exclusive. income is tight these days for most.

[@babieangels]

@@HisameArtwork$100? Wow, I wish! The plants and pot alone would be at least $150 without the cost of craftsmanship. Money is definitely tight, but generosity is abundant! 🙏

[@shellyroman1321]

​@HisameArtwork I am sure that beautiful glazed ceramic container was not inexpensive at all. I once went to a church auction where a homemade cake went for over $300.00. It's all about supporting the cause! ♡

[@aubreevanderwoude8530]

​@@HisameArtwork I think people are willing (if able) to spend more if they know the money is going to a good cause. I'm sure the hefty price tag helped the school and the kids quite a bit 😊

[@juelclyne7392]

The arrangement is gorgeous and worth every penny of $475. Was I the only one wishing someone would have gone $500? Hats off to the auctioneer. He’s legit ❤❤

[@Fam4Moore]

If folks had know Laura from Garden Answer made it up it might have got more than $500. Such a sweet thing for her to do. Yes, that auctioneer was good.

[@mspurefunk5]

Listening to the auctioneer was fun enough and to get that pot which really stood out on that loading doc 😂😂😂

[@sherylemoore8626]

"No weeds in there" 😂 Such a great success. What a beautiful arrangement, all my favorite colors. So happy for the school!

[@slaturwinters1828]

That comment was legendary lmao

[@waitingpatientlyforsummer]

I think this is my color combination for the year! Soo 😍

[@lisafenno4563]

No matter how many times I watch these videos, I don't get how you get SO MANY plants in ONE pot!!!

[@BB-uj3hf]

Exactly my thoughts!!

[@tifflet818]

Omg me too. She makes it look effortless. I suck at it lol.

[@donnaryan9365]

Agree and going to do the same here in my SPRING POTS? Wish me luck and will return the same to you!

[@lisafenno4563]

@@donnaryan9365I can't actually afford to fill the pots the way she does!

[@lanamattox45]

Same here! But she does it over and over! Success

[@jakebr8ke]

How wonderful to be able to help support a cause by doing what you love. Love the auctioneer “Not a weed in there!” Lol. Beautiful arrangement of spring flowers to the lucky winner. 💐

[@susanpeterson9947]

I really appreciate how much Laura and Aaron support their community 💚.

[@shellyroman1321]

The Black Cat pussywillows were the perfect cherry on top of that beautiful spring arrangement! The colors were an amazing contrast to that stunning container ♡ What a sweet surprise to be able to watch the part of the auction where the arrangement was sold. That almost looked like Paul on stage carrying the container and I loved his little smile when the auctioneer commented "Not a weed in there" ♡ Bravo, Laura! What a great donation!

[@maryannevarre1542]

I would need a bathtub to be able to fit that many flowers!🤣🤣. Laura you work magic!!! How beautiful❤️❤️

[@sherryhumphries1801]

The arrangement is wonderful and it did so good at auction; what a dear friend you are for providing a Laura arrangement for Bethany’s son!

[@juliabinford6500]

Thank you so much to Bethany for filming the auction. I was delighted to see it!!

[@jessicagreen2351]

Yes thanks Bethany!

[@tarabhatt]

Yea totally! I loved seeing n hearing the auction bit so much that I showed it to my husband and came back to the video today to read the comments 🤪😍

[@Gpotpot]

The design, the pot, the little something from the garden and then to get to see the video where she made your beautiful arrangement - what a lucky winner. I love these videos where you do things within your community, especially for your crew. So sweet. 💗

[@melaniecalderon8973]

I'm so impressed that you were sensitive about the scent of the flowers in the arrangement. As a person who is allergic to many scents (migraines, anyone?) it is always important for me to ask the florist to make my arrangements scentless. So many people don't even think about this!! I appreciate you for thinking of others sensitivities.

[@thedorkasaur]

Yes!!! I love beautiful smelling things but so many trigger migraines. Always get such funny looks when I say something nice smelling gives me a migraine

[@michellebostic8576]

Hyacinths are some off my favorites but I have to leave them outside because of my migraines. But I love how they smell. ❤

[@jcking6785]

🩷💚🤍 What a lovely gesture to donate that beautiful porch pot for Bethany’s son. And blessings to the person who bought it.

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

One of the many thing I have learned from Laura is exactly what she said, gather more than you will need so you have choices. When I build my porch pots for the seasons, I have so much and I take my time and move things around and I time and time again get a ton of compliments. The container was beautiful and the auction was so fun!

[@CariMachet]

Super fun ❤

[@soksankincaid9436]

😢😢

[@dcharrison]

Wow Lora . I bet that made your heart glad. That the spring pot went for $475. Awesome!!

[@zormier2002]

Oh my goodness that arrangement is so beautiful. Another masterpiece. I don’t know how you do it. You, Laura have a gift. You could hand 100 people the same plants and they wouldn’t look as good as yours. I don’t know what it is but some people are just gifted with arrangements. What a blessing God has given you😊 ❤❤❤

[@MrsDebBee]

Oh Laura, just when I think your last arrangement was the most beautiful, you go a make another one more beautiful than ever 😍 You are SO gifted! Thanks for sharing. I can see not only are you a great employer to your employees but also a friend ❤❤

[@michellebaynes4350]

My favorite utube garden show!

[@kathierogers3208]

So glad the fund raiser was a success!

[@rofleury2801]

I love listening to an auctioneer! Laura, you must be very proud to have been a part of the school’s fundraising efforts… what a sweet gesture on your part!!

[@DebbieRoycroft-gj9hg]

I knew we were in for a treat when I heard Laura say, “You can pack them extremely full.”😊😊😊

[@PLANT-VA]

475 congratulations to Bethany‘s son able to bring in an item made with your love Laura !from garden answers. also a big help to his school❤

[@irishmexican09]

Loved the video and I was really hoping to see the auction part, thanks for adding it in. Loved loved loved it. Thank you for all you do Laura. I never miss your videos, I hate Saturdays when I wake up and no videos HAHAHAHA

[@frasersgirl4383]

I ALWAYS pick out something from all the past videos to watch on Saturday cause I can’t stand missing a day! Lol!!

[@judygrant947]

Feel the same way. Every Saturday, I think oh no Laura’s not on today 😢. Can’t get enough of watching her work wonders in the garden.

[@ruthrice3498]

The pot and the colouring /texture in the green pot is fabulous!

[@wynorawishum5860]

Beautiful arrangement. Obviously, someone really appreciates beauty because they got a great deal and the school got the benefit of the money. Worth it to have a Garden Answer arrangement. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@Gin0827]

The silver tipped branches of the Willow set it off!! Great job Laura!! Great community coming together to do positive investment in the school. Thanks to Bethany inspiring you to pay it forward Laura!! Congratulations you guys rock!!

[@leannewilson8288]

Absolutely Beautiful! Laura last week I had the opportunity to visit your parents garden center. My husband & I had a great visit with your dad. I wanted him to explain his thought process on the natural organic fertilizers to my husband he did such a great job on that episode. We checked out all the work in the area. My husband is a licensed Dirt worker for Oregon. Washington & ID. We ate at several of the restaurants in Boise that you show in your videos as well as shopping areas.❤❤❤ I know 13! Families that recently moved to Weiser. Thank you for all of these recommendations we had a great trip!!❤❤❤

How fun to watch the auctioneer in action! Thanks Bethany for taking video!!

[@marthabradas8873]

It's beautiful, Laura, and $475. Wow, that was a good one! 👍🏻 ❤

Spotters are my favorite part of the auction ❤❤

[@gracefulgrowing144]

The Willow branches really added a lot to it. At first, I was like I don't know, but when you put them in there, Wow, it is just an amazingly, beautiful arrangement, Laura, It's so kind of you to do that for Bethany's son school auction. I just love how it turned out. I love that Bethany filmed it for us so we could see the auction and how much it went for. $475 that's wonderful. What a great donation to the school and to a Laura original Garden Answer arrangement. You are so funny, telling the kitties, no fighting, it's a peaceful planting day. ❤❤

Now when I put a pot design together for my porch I will be asking myself if it’s a $475 arrangement…if not, keep going until it is. It’s good to have goals 😊.

“ I marvel how exact and perfect it is”, the gentleman said. Not us, we know how talented you are Laura, you always amaze us.😀 Did you include the tags for all the plants so the new owner will know exactly what they are and how to take care of them? If not, maybe Brittany could get them to the school and they could pass them on.🙂
