[@kathleenwhite9741]

"I'M SUCH AN ENABLER..." your Mom is such a hoot!!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@neldahargo29]

that's a good quality in a salesperson. hope all your visitors are as easy as Laura

[@TheImpatientGardener]

These videos are good for the soul. If I can’t garden at least I can watch you work with all these spring beauties.

[@gjcinqmars]

The 'whoa' heard around the world! How many said 'whoa' when Benjamin slipped a little in the snow? I did. Not only did I say 'whoa' but my arm reached out to steady him.

[@gill597]

Mine too 😁

[@chelinfusco6403]

Haha, mother instinct I guess. I was too.

[@mishawnstyles3556]

I know right! Instinctively reaching through cyber space to catch him.

[@johnnyutah1053]

I love how your mom is always smiling.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Laura, I only saw three chickens in your coup, did something happen to the fourth one? This was such a delightful video! First, there was sweet little Benjamin helping mommy and playing in the dirt and then the water. Seeing him always melts my heart. Then down at the garden center and your mom saying I'm an enabler. The two of you are like peas in a pod! I love your back-alley wheeling and dealing, sure wish I could join you!

[@d.wilbur5164]

Love your refreshed planters AND precious Benjamin AND your mom!!! You are truly blessed, Laura!!! Thank you for sharing your talent and your lovely family with us all!!!

[@deeproctor2363]

Love the new plantings! LOVED the topiary. Love most of all that you let Benjamin explore the "rain" and the fun puddle the "rain made! I so enjoy watching Benjamin explore the world around him by touching, seeing, hearing, looking, doing and tasting. Little boys are so very special! From a 2 baby boy mamma and a 1 baby boy grand momma!

[@jpnelson1193]

A-dor-a-ble.......The joy and excitement a child has at the simple things🥰

[@debbiesineath1952]

Your so blessed to have parents that own a garden center!

[@hansyjp]

Great start to my Sunday: fresh cup of coffee and Garden Answer! !😊👍🏿❤️

[@fshahurain]

Me too. But I am a pensioner so it is an everyday affair watching garden answer.

[@liarossi123]

Benjamin stomping in rain puddles 😍 🤍💙☔️ 🥾💦🧸💙🤍

[@bonesonstones1]

So cute!!

[@robinrummel1359]

My grandkids had puddle stompin' boots instead of rain boots! Loved to stomp in the puddles after a rain, good memories! 💕😃

[@tvcat3665]

Everybody knew he was going to do that!😀

[@sherrylthompson803]

Little boys and their rain puddles!!❤️

[@dowth3]

Oh man, Helleborus are some of my favorite perennials: elegant, woodland, understated, shy pendulous blooms with those gorgeous leathery leaves! I positively swoon over them!

[@leesaaugustine1444]

You are lucky to get dibs on those pretty flowers right off the delivery truck in the "back alley"!!!! Beautiful flowers for early early container!! My garden center is busy with a home & garden show this weekend & has not opened yet!😕Benjamin is so cute, love seeing him out playing & helping you!! Your reaction when the snow covered soil bag slipped & slid to ground - classic, happens to me too! Loved the way the containers turned out, so pretty, colorful & ready for Spring!!!! 🤗🌞🌺🌸🌿⚘🌷🌹💐💚

[@peggyluna4670]

Such a heart warming shot of you and Benjamin walking away with the cart.🥰 I don’t know why It brought tears to my eyes but it touched me very much.❤️❤️ God Bless you and all your loved ones 😊🌸🌼

[@kathleenfowler6149]

Even if you realise a tenth of the joy you and your extended adorable family give to us I'd be happy. You are such an inspiration and your enthusiasm is infections. Beautiful pits and adorable little boy. Bless you Laura, 💗💗💗💗

[@rachellleleux906]

Watching you spend time with Benjamin and your family makes me feel warm inside. You're such a great mom!

[@angiehorn3280]

Children are so wonderful. The way their little minds find joy in everything.

[@craftyfoody]

I get just as excited when filling my cart at the garden center. It's the best feeling as a gardener.

[@valeriestrickler6902]

It always makes me chuckle when I see you and Benjamin together.

[@chrystalsabin4091]

Gorgeous flowers, great job. I can't get over how much Benjamin has grown and he is so smart. 💖

[@christinelips3657]

Oh My Gosh! How cute is that, Benjamin gabbing away about the water coming off the roof is priceless.

[@MsPandora93]

They look so nice and fresh.. warms the heart. We have a ton of snow still and this has been a warm winter for Ontario. I planted quite a few bulbs in the Fall and can't wait see them pop up. Benjamin was so cute and helping Mom push the wagon. I love seeing your chickens. Nice video Laura.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Such a cute little helper you had. Honestly, Benjamin’s personality is just blossoming...sorry about that pun. Until you I had never seen a hellebore. 💚 The containers looked like a beautiful small flower forest to me. 💚

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Oh gosh Laura that snow!😮We live in Central Florida and the climate has been really crazy lately, one day it's 80° the next it's 40° so my plants don't really know what's going on lol. I'm so anxious to get my seedlings planted in the garden for spring and summer. Thank you so much for sharing! The evergreens still look great!

[@ronwheeler8590]

Benjamin is so adorable. I loved watching him play with the rain gutter

[@marilynwithrow5665]

Your chicken may have laid an egg. Mine have a very loud song they sing after they lay an egg telling all the other hens "look what I did!!!" Lol

[@kathrynelkin1519]

The pots are so beautiful! I’ve been waiting for spring flowers. Benjamin saying “help please” and helping you by pushing the garden cart made my heart swell💜😊.

[@margaretcinque4548]

Your mom is adorable! A plant enabler...the very best kind

[@MidwestGirl]

That is perfection in a garden container! Absolutely love this arrangement! Benjamin is such a cutie-patootie! Thank you for sharing him with us - he makes us smile and laugh! Your Mom is always such a joy - thank you for sharing her with us, too! So wish we had a lovely garden center like that where I live. It looks so charming!

[@shannon5203]

Seeing Benjamin help push the cart was absolutely adorable!!!!! He’s such a cutie. 😊

[@marialicemorgan19]

Loved watching Benjamin push the wagon. My mom is an plantaholic enabler too😂

[@juliereis146]

There’s something magnetic between little feet and puddles 💖💖💖

[@heatherbright7214]

Love the white with pink edging hellebore. Beautiful containers.

[@jedimilisvelez591]

I love all your videos and the beautiful flowers but today my favorite part was seeing Benjamin playing he is so adorable God bless him always!

[@pamnapier-uhl1362]

You can even make discarded sticks look amazing. They are beautiful- loved the siding bag of dirt! And Benjamin! Pushing the cart with you - 💕 makes us all remember how precious little ones are.

[@lorih5915]

Such an enjoyable video! Benjamin splashing...back alley...plant enabler...such fun! You made my day! You planted up those planters so beautifully! Simply gorgeous!🌻

[@ramibu239]

I saw lots of Red, Pink & White flowers that you could make a Valentine's planting in your new Red Containers!!!!😁💘❤💖💝❣💌

[@ramibu239]

Also, you need to switch your Walnut Wreath out for your Pink Gomphrea one

[@Bamboo4U2]

@@ramibu239 Yeah, I want to know if that thing stinks like the massive mob of gomphrena in the landscape smelled.

[@loristricklin7627]

Hi Laura, Oh just watching this little video gives me Spring planting fever!!!! Isn't it amazing what planting can do for the soul. I wanted to pass on one of my favorites/must haves for working in the garden. I noticed that you often wear a cute pair of vans shoes when working in the garden and your sweet little man in his tennis shoes playing in the water made me think that you both would love a pair of Bogs to wear. I am on my second pair of Bogs. I used to wear old tennis shoes and my feet would be filthy, wet and cold by the end of the day out in the garden. Now I slip on my Bogs and my feet remain dry and warm. They are my go-to and a definite must.

[@NozeieGirl]

I loved this so much!!!! I have cabin fever and really needed this. Thank you Laura , Aaron & of course Benjamin.

[@juliataddei1]

Treasured memories with Benjamin. He is so darn cute and helpful😊

[@debbiereynolds9276]

He has your bubbly personality, what a sweet little boy. You have such patience and the look on your face when the first bag of dirt slid off!!!!!

[@michelekay1115]

Benjamin is beyond precious. Love that joy for the outdoors you are instilling in him. And those spring blooms make my heart sing!

[@ASH-kj9xt]

Such a great video! Loved seeing Benjamin playing and helping mom push the cart! So sweet! Your mom! I just love her! “I’m such an enabler” 😂😂. The planters turned out gorgeous, as always. Your vision is so spot on! When you were talking about adding the branches, I was thinking they were beautiful as they were, but wow did that make a difference! Just a lovely promise of spring to come! Love you all! 💚🌿🙌

[@sandraengstrand2784]

I love how you incorporate branches into your garden containers and floral arrangements!!!! 😍

[@felixpuncrocoi]

You're fueling my spring fever!!! 😊

[@conniebyrd3232]

The pots are gorgeous. good job. Benjamin helping to push the cart is adorable.

[@susanb2409]

-6 in Vermont this morning and about 16” of snow on the ground so no thoughts of planting flowers yet. Nice to dream of spring plantings.

[@ann2155]

My husband and I are going to Gardener’s supply this Wednesday especially to look for Hellebores. I can’t wait.

[@christinepops5100]

Spring in a pot, sooo lovely!!!! And those branches and moss added just the perfect finishing touch!

[@judithjohnson2111]

Hope abounds. This video made my Sun.morning. Flowers. So gorgeous. Your sweet son is so precious to see. Helping you push the wagon & so excited to see a waterfall just for him. So cute. 😌Thank you a million times.

[@leonasilka7349]

I just love watching you work! You always provide me with so much inspiration to just get out there and do it. We had a heavy snow yesterday in north GA. which was beautiful. All melted today, so I am really looking forward to planting again. I love the way you are raising Benjamin, he is so precious.

[@nancybrower8608]

Thanks for bringing a little Spring into our lives.

[@marilynmontes8560]

Staying at home for the next few weeks, binge watching and catching up on any videos that I have missed. Laura we need longer videos to get us through this. I hope that you and your family stay well. Orlando Florida

[@candiesmith4329]

One of my favorite videos. Benjamin was adorable. 💙 An inspiration to plant Spring planters. The branch’s did add such a nice touch. Love your attention to details! ❤️

[@camicri4263]

😍 Benjamin .... I was waiting for him to get into the water paddle😂😂 so cute. Water has a magnet for kids...He is an absolute treasure! So funny how your mom was tempting you with more flowers. Such beautiful flowers! I miss snow drops. Back in the day dad used to bring mom and me snow drop, Lily of the valley and violet bouquets in the spring...so pretty! So, so beautiful all the flowers you got.😍😍💜

[@suzanneb5229]

The pots turned out beautiful. Why is it that I never heard of hellebores until I started watching your videos? They are so pretty. A little too early to plant anything here (Northern IL) but you gave us lots of ideas. I will definitely incorporate some twigs and moss into my spring containers. Benjamin is so cute, I can't get enough of him. Love seeing your mom in this video also.

[@jay-el-bee]

Oh man. Im supposed to be writing a paper for school right now. But watching this first WINS!

[@rubyoro0]

Maybe write your school paper on gardening and how it relaxes you. L0L

[@shirleysenkler781]

Adding the branches was perfect. So nice to see flowers in bloom this time of the year, hope my hellebores will bloom this year I've been trying for several years. I'm wondering if minnesota is TOO cold for them. Benjamin was adorable in this video, you can't keep a little boy away from a puddle and he was so cute pushing the cart to help his mommy.

[@christinahickman4620]

I don't know why I loved the shots of you pulling your cart. It was a nice and well edited interlude to the next step. Very artsy!

[@hellinronquillo8702]

I love hellebores videos,thanks for sharing.

[@carolbeatty2468]

Oh yes coffee with Laura and Benjamin!! I love that your mom totally admits to being an enabler lol Benjamin was having fun in the puddle he needs his rubber boots then he can splash away! What a bunch of lovely plants you got and I love that Helleborus called Picotee Pearl!!! Can't wait to go get some pots and flowers of my own, thanks so much for the inspiration!

[@Emma-Sharon]

Laura has introduced me to so many plants but Hellebores are just so special to me.💕💞💗

[@kellylarson3020]

Imagine planting pots in February... I'm in MN and we just got 7.5" of snow on Sunday. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you.

[@stouthelms1627]

I just enjoy you so much- I don’t even have a garden.....yet! And, you and your mom together are adorable. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@amandakaye902]

Benjamin steals the show yet again with his sweetness😆 😍 Have you and your family ever thought about hopping over the big pond to take a tour of those beautiful English gardens? It would be my dream vacation lol

[@reneehill5548]

I’m giving my MIL an 80th Birthday party in April. These spring planters will be perfect to welcome guests!

[@Silver.Maple.Cottage]

Oh girl you got me so excited for Spring 🌼😍🌷 I have been counting down to when I can get back into my flowers. You did a fantastic job on these. I love the creativity with the branches. You are such an inspiration. Benjamin is such a cutie! It's raining 😂 that was sweet. 💖 thanks for always being genuine! Have a great day!!

[@HowsItGrowing]

If I wasn’t before, I’m certainly ready for spring now. Gorgeous selections!

[@jerushasollenberger3607]

I love this!!! I can't wait to see spring color here in PA!!! Benjamin is just the cutest!!! I love videos with you mom in!!

[@Elizabeth45840]

I always loved when flowers came into the greenhouses I worked for. Beautiful Blooms! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@kasirinn512]

Loved your little assistant helping push the cart.

[@judewillis1084]

I knew Benjamin was going to go into that puddle. He's such a little boy! How fun for us that you've been sharing him in your videos; it's still gardening...how to train up a gardener vlog.

[@kimimep8413]

I didn't know I could plant my front porch planters this early with Spring plants. Yay! I'm also a zone 5. Great video and so fun to see Benjamin helping Mommy.

[@daniellekilduff8656]

Beautiful colors

[@kimmartin2522]

Listening to Benjamin's laughter over the water made me laugh. I love happy kids.

[@melodydaly8046]

Benjamin is such a delight. Such a wonderful little boy.

[@miller4hats]

Benjamin is talking up a storm!! So cute! 🌞

[@lorrainewilson9818]

Laura, you brought tears to my eyes as you take apart the topiary. They are still looking so good

[@hildewilkens3772]

Spring can't come fast enough - no Helleborus to find yet around here - hope they come in soon. Wonderful containers, can't wait to start myself. Thank you Laura!

[@nancyechlin5806]

Benjamin is SO cute! Thank you guys so much for sharing him with us. The Hellebores and all of the things are awesome too! ❣️

[@darrylgrimaldi5101]

Oh, sweet Benjamin's delight at the rain from the gutters--I die! Such precious time together. I cracked up at your "back alley" deals!

[@lyricnotes]

I left a Florida vacation yesterday to come home to the winter wonderland of Chicago (zone 5). Thank you for the ‘back alley dealing’ with your wonderful enabler!

[@wandakerstetter6352]

I love that you “we” are doing spring containers already. The branches totally made the pot pop! Benjamin is so cute 😊 his excitement over the “rain” I loved it. Your “back alley deal” is the best deal to have. Thanks for all you and Aaron do. Happy Spring 🌸🌱

[@lindasarcone4769]

Benjamin is so cute. The pots and flowers are beautiful. Love the small branches. Beautiful finishing touch.

[@valiumsurbanjungle2041]

Hellebores are such stunning plants, we can't really find them in Greece... Benjamin is just the cutest and I love how much you let him be himself 😊

[@MiaSong23]

Your mom is precious!

[@sofiareif9782]

It is the same case here in Germany! It is so warm, you could say we didn't have had any Winter! and i love it too 😍 all the bulbs and crocus are already coming up from the soil 😁🌱🌷

[@francineh.7825]

Benjamin always brightens my day!! Was hoping you were going to use the branches as it gave it such a beautiful woodland look. Gorgeous!!

[@Bamboo4U2]

I was going to guess she was going to use forsythia (since that's in bloom in some areas of the country right now) but she surprised me with the pear instead.

[@DCT14]

I loved that Momma said that she is an enabler, lol! There are much worse things to be addicted too😂 Seriously, you have turned me on to hellebores, and plan on adding many too my garden this year. Thanks Laura

[@sandracunningham3995]

So pretty are these containers.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! All of the flowers you got and planted are so pretty! The containers are beautiful! I like the addition of the pear branches, really finished them off. I'd never heard of the Snowdrops before, but am loving them. I'll need to find some of those. Thank you so much for sharing! I'm so anxious to start getting plants for my containers! Also, it is always fun getting to see Benjamin. He's so adorable!

[@tommyknockerparanormalinc]

YAY Spring is cooomiiing! Ive already started some spring starts!! Beautiful video, thank you! Benjamin is ADORABLE. When he said "help please", my heart melted. Wish I could have some grandbabies!!

[@CottageGardensonForest]

I’m so glad you did hellebores again this year. I fell in love with them from last years videos. We had several days in the 70’s then a hard freeze and so much rain this year just like last spring. I have to pack in so much garden prep into the one to two days a week it’s not raining. Wish it would snow here. No snow last year either. I have pansies and cabbages right now and like you my gallardia has continued to bloom all winter. Thanks for all the inspiration and advice.

[@iartistdotme]

Hint of Spring to welcome you home from your trip. Beautiful!

[@tiffinyharrington9307]

Wanted to add how absolutely precious little Benjamin is - and he’s so big now! I saw that puddle and just knew he’d want to jump in - all boys seem to love puddles and cars;) My oldest son is now 18 but has his Matchbox collection and our youngest son - 9 this week - carries his favorite green car EVERYWHERE 😂 Little boys are so fun!

[@twilde3754]

Thanks for the "reminder of spring video"!! Love the branches to add height. Great idea: I will try that this spring.

[@chelinfusco6403]

Why, oh why did I have to watch this video! I'm sick with a cold, shivering, and now I need to calm down because I want to go outside and plant flowers! *tears* hahaha. Aw, I love your videos and I think your little helper and your mom are awesome. Look a puddle! Hahaha. Aw, thanks for sharing these moments and goodness, those containers are beautiful.

[@pambuehler6402]

Simply beautiful! Your videos are the best!

[@nokesvillehaunt915]

I just love Benjamin with the rain and pushing cart. So Yay bright colors 😃 who can resist Mom pushing plants especially deep purple ones😆 enabling is ok with plants. the branches made a huge difference. And those hellebores.......gorgeous!

[@Eram.Abbasi]

Wow I loved this video. Seeing all those beautiful colors. The flower beauty. And the best part was Benjamin 😃 and his actions. Love it. I would suggest that u should do some videos where u just show us Benjamin and his activities. Would love to see his cute activities
