Our Annual Foraging Trip! 🌲🏔❄️ // Garden Answer

[@jezori6367]

Aaron, you’ve out done yourself. Between the music and drone footage, you had me engaged from the start. It’s always fun to watch Laura forage for supplies from local nature.

[@FunAtDisney]

It is amazing, not only his drone shots, but how nowadays someone can get these kind shots, edit. add music, etc. with relatively inexpensive equipment. Years ago this would have taken a pilot in a helicopter, a camera crane, a full editing bay, audio engineer and a full union crew to do the job! Oh... and a TV network to show it on!

[@katediy4563]

He out "droned" himself. Haha!

[@CYRiPKK1]

The drone shot just gets more and more stunning every time!

[@judithjohnson2111]

A mini vacation today. Wow its so gorgeous. Loved seeing this area. Aaron's drone shots are perfection & the music was great. T.Y. for taking us along. JOY.🌲☺

[@Kerrin77JIH]

It is!! I’d love to know the name of that little reservoir! It was stunning the way it flew there!!

[@allisong6]

Great shots Aaron, great vid

[@twobluestripes]

I would LOVE for Aaron to do a review of the drones he has tried/used and give tips on getting started w/ drone photography/videos as a beginner! I know that stuff is out there but would love to hear what has worked for him/his preferences

[@loloholmes2793]

You are so lucky to have a husband that's willing to help with projects & doesn't spend the whole time complaining & asking if you're done yet. You have a keeper Laura.

[@MysticFIREFLY]

she truly is.... I am so happy for this little family - and feel the love everytime I check in.... they both are truly special....

[@kannikasrithiyagarajan8934]

I just have one word to say about these drone footages and scenery "WOW"

[@cadre500]

I have two words for the drone shots: More Please

[@MsSusieStone]

So breathtakingly beautiful ❤️

[@carolynmangipudi9898]

I agree, Fantastic job Aaron on the drone!! . ..with the stunning aerial shots reflecting this little piece of heaven...the creek running through with snow and ice..just perfect.

[@kathyhughes460]

I MISSED SEEING YOUR MOM. She always makes me laugh ,she's so sweet.

[@carolhutchison222]

Laura, You’ve made me realize that all seasons are fun and there’s something beautiful to see (and do) in each. I notice how the landscape changes but is still alive with color. Life doesn’t stop after summer. Thank you for my new beautiful perspective 🌞🍁❄️🌷 Today I stopped hating winter.

[@trainingolives3370]

Agreed! After I started watching her years ago, my perspective on winter changed, too. We don’t live where there is snow and it always felt ugly, brown, and depressing to me until I learned how to appreciate the changes. Now I can see them everywhere. Laura and Aaron, your channel is truly a treasure!

[@carolhutchison222]

@@trainingolives3370, that’s my winter, too! Brown and depressing. Until now. I see it all very differently, through their eyes.

[@ritasicari7518]

This is such a thoughtful, enlightening, and positive comment.

[@cadre500]

As Laura debates whether or not to cut more dogwood; Aaron "We've got room for more" God Bless him!

[@katediy4563]

i was cheering her on to cut the rosehips.

[@dianajean4837]

What a beautiful countryside you live in! Such a nice trip for you and Aaron! The thing I love about Aaron is he is so stinking positive! Always a kind word from him!

[@genevapriest6190]

Aaron is setting the example of "REAL MEN" model.

[@thistooiseds3215]

It won’t be long before Benjamin and baby girl are foraging with their mom and grandmother 💗 sweet tradition.

[@shastriseeraj7425]

Your chat about feeling free enough to change up each year is exactly how I feel,also your enthusiasm is contagious ❤️

[@eileenchang2173]

When one starts feeling one must do something rather than feeling one has to do it because others are, that is when one knows one has to identify what truly makes one happy. This year my outdoor and indoor holiday decor is more on the minimal yet natural side and I absolutely love it. I used to feel overwhelmed by all these decorations .

[@jengus1951]

Loved the shots of the water & the sounds. Can't wait to see the pots all done. Just the red twig looks terrific!

[@auroraborealis3764]

I love how Laura even gives the forest a trim! 😍

[@rdarrett3635]

I was reluctant in watching because I’m tired, but when I saw the drone shots. I said, “He has done it again. Bravo.”

[@salman6896]

Gorgeous!! The FACT that you can just forage the dogwood!! Laughing with my can of red spray paint and oak branches 😂❤️

[@alianapaetzell1704]

We missed your mom this year! But, the drone shot is on point! Great good Aaron!!!

[@RevAcres01]

Aaron out did himself beautiful video. Loved going up into the foothills.

[@auroraborealis3764]

I love how Laura finds beauty in everything ❤️

[@Dixiwonderlandyoutube]

I love the part when the music comes on and every shoot is so perfect! It really made me feel those cozy Christmas feelings :D

[@irishrufus1008]

The start of this video was more relaxing than any meditation.

[@bethdurbin3279]

💯

[@hollyk4690]

The drone footage was gorgeous!

[@lynettelewis5688]

The drone footage, the closeups of the creek, rose hips, and ice formations - and the awesome music backdrop - loved it! Add to that the excitement of your ultrasound appointment- what a wonderful, blessed, and love-filled time for your family🥰🥰

[@sheilabowman3256]

Aaron is just the sweetest ! He never complains !

[@gracereeves7803]

Except about that rogue sunflower he "murdered" LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@sandranason9314]

Aaron does such a great job a drone flying and editing it's amazing.

[@KZ-xj4tt]

I was hoping your mom was coming along. I miss her occasional appearance. You did scare me when you slipped. 😬

[@eileenchang2173]

I was actually concerned when I saw her video that she was going foraging especially with all the freezing and melting lately.

[@nancydeis7121]

Last years foraging with her mom and her and a picnic is one of my favorite videos. I wish I had that type of relationship with my mom. When she slipped i remember my klutz of a adopted daughter being super pregnant and falling on ice right onto her belly. Her labor started but they were able to stop it as it was too early. But scared the heck out of me.

[@soonstrgzr]

I enjoy her mom's visits too. I was like girl you get in the truck! when she slipped!

[@judymendez6227]

The "escape to the mountains "took my breath away.Thank you both so much. What a way to start my day!

[@ramikhirfan7851]

Omy Omy what a great foraging trip, the scenery with snow, the sound of water sure put us in Seasonal mood. Thank you Laura for sharing us these moments, and thank for Aaron for being the support daddy. The arrangements in the pot as is shows a beautiful wintry statement.

[@mayv2846]

Did anyone else's heart drop to their stomach when Laura slipped!? She saved it though. Please be safe. We love you and your sweet family and pray you have a SAFE and happy holiday.

[@robertbaker9775]

Mine did for sure! 😱. Linda

[@catese1284]

I didn't know what high desert country looked like - thanks!

[@patriciacinea3097]

That western Idaho scenery is incredible...something this New Englander does not see around here! Very enjoyable..look forward to tomorrow's continuation.

[@isabellaabruzzi9611]

I even love the pot as is. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

[@mirandabeaudry7936]

Isabella Abruzzi This comment is profoundly the joy of gardening and the treasure of this KZbin channel in a statement. Thank you for saying it and minding me of its power - a joyful anticipation for tomorrow.. Thanks Laura and Aaron ❤️

[@secnew2852]

Hi Laura. Your thoughts on not getting stuck on traditions and just enjoying whatever life brings year to year really hit home. I get very nostalgic about past Xmases that I don't enjoy the present one. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.

[@rhondapetsch9646]

The beginning footage makes it apparent when you say you live in the high desert.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Giving life to the activity of foraging! Go forth and FORAGE! Beautiful video guys 🙏🏾🙏🏾💚

[@AvatarPrimus]

15:12 I can relate with that, being able to be flexible is better for mental health and to be able to enjoy the season without stress. Blessings Laura.

[@Aka_Vanii]

Felt almost like a little vacation. Such scenic views. Great job Aaron 😊

[@DCT14]

Aaron, the visuals at the beginning of this video, along with the music is amazing and simply beautiful! Laura, I can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@snotina]

great video with my early morning coffee. 7am posting here. Such a different landscape from where I live. 🇨🇦

[@susannahwalsh2153]

I agree. Different from where I live too. 🇨🇦

[@wordvendor1]

Beautiful! I'm going to plant some curly willow AND red and yellow twig dogwoods in a border garden for my cut flower arrangements now. Thanks!

[@claytoncomeaux414]

Hey, Erin! My life is all about helping other people in my life. But when I have a few minutes for myself, I'm so glad there is Garden Answers. Pure Joy...

[@ikillprettythingz7947]

I like how Aaron laughs with you on your hoarding ventures. He never complains. Great guy you have there 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

[@tia1629]

I didn't know what foraging was until I met Laura and now I -want- to do -it🙂 Good morning !!

[@normaramos7813]

Love the drone shots! I also love watching Laura get excited about her finds in nature while foraging. Can't wait to see these containers done for the holidays 🎄❄🎅

[@shirleyvastine9328]

I can't imagine having all that redtwig dogwood available, so easy! Those pots will be beautiful!!!

[@binamom2797]

Does anyone else giggle when they hear Laura's feet on the gravel when she fast forwards...it brings me joy!

[@teresecox4109]

This was so beautiful! Wow, the drone, the music, the running stream with ice, all gorgeous!

[@barbaracornett9187]

I’m seeing the bushes and trees in a very different light this year! Thank you for opening my eyes to the beauty around me. Love the music and drone footage too!!

[@MW-gw5sq]

Same for me! The "winter interest" has given me a whole new look on plants!!

[@laliwim]

The sceneries & the running water look so peaceful!

[@bernicehoggsfav]

OMG!!! Aaron's face! We need as much Aaron in these videos as possible! You are a good man and hubby!

[@wifemommeboblife3657]

The beginning drone the music the scenes was amazing! Great job in that!

[@kathy8832]

Loved the foraging, never thought to do that. The drone shots were great, such a pretty area to forage. Music made it even better. Can't wait to see the video with the finished pots.

[@Maeday-oh1nw]

Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you. This year, I am especially thankful for you guys and your videos. I look so forward to them each day.

[@jlp4111]

You can dry the rose hips and make tea for extra vitamin C.

[@FIUBSFANMUCH]

I so loveeeeee when u 'brought' us foraging.. we can see your scenery..nice with some waterfall...some snow...oh i love it..

[@ilensantamarina9715]

What beautiful drone scenic views.🤍♡🎄♡🤍Amazing footage!!❤️I seriously don't understand who could thumbs down this video.😡😳

[@buckeyejen1076]

I can't imagine thumbs-down either.

[@BlueRae07]

...And then there is the moment that 6,000 moms held their breath, for a scant second, when you started to slip! We all love you and it even gave my tummy a JOLT! YOURS TOO, I IMAGINE!😍 You are both exquisite at what you do and a joy to all that you share this! God blessings!!!! Thanks for sharing! Now, I am a country girl, so foraging is great, however, I want red dog wood in the mountains of southwest Virginia! 🤔

[@sheilamuleadygirardi]

For a Southern California Beach girl, seeing the snow and the creek brought back some wonderful memories when my Dad was transferred to DC / Maryland when I was in 6 and 7th grade. First experience with snow days and being snowed in each for each Christmas there. Your video was gorgeous and took me right back to my childhood!

[@sarahbelmonte8888]

Can I just say Aaron that footage was BEAUTIFUL! Especially while sitting in the middle of a heatwave in Queensland, Australia seeing all that beautiful vision was such a pleasure. Thank you so much for always going that extra mile to make it special ❄️

[@dawnayers5267]

I’m surprised you have snow and here in Newfoundland we don’t have any to date Dec 8. I’m use to having snow long before this. Looks so beautiful.

[@desireehouse]

Loved the drone shots and music, superb. And, yes, Laura- do what makes you happy right now. You should never feel obligated to doing something just because you’ve done it other years. It’s an important message. ❤️

[@janetbrown8785]

The Scenery in this video is beautiful!! I can not imagine how it looked when you were there. I will definitely watch this one again! Love watching you do your projects. You are so unique and different from anyone else I watch. Thanks for all you do.😊

[@stephducated18g]

Drone footage is gorgeous 😍 ❤ 👌

[@Rhonda_H]

What beautiful drone footage. I knew the area you were at looked familiar. We will be heading up this weekend to forage and cut our Christmas tree. I love my Idahome.💗

[@sandythornton5166]

Oh my word this video is so beautiful, professional, uplifting, calming, peaceful and a million other beautiful adjectives that I will not take up space to list!!! The drone footage is amazing!! I will watch this over and over!! Thank you!!!

[@Laurablushing]

I just love this tradition

[@kimgurley472]

Those branches are gorgeous! Can't wait to see the pots completed!

[@truthbetold2611]

What a blessing to have a spouse that plays along--Hats off to you Aaron. Garden Answer wouldn't be as fun without you.

[@jonathandunn7576]

Just another wonderful Garden Answer experience. But missed seeing your mom this year. The drone video of the beautiful Oregon countryside was breathtaking. You never cease to amaze your audience. Thank you Laura for ALL that you say and do. You are such a delight (along with Aaron, Benjamin, et al.) God bless. Sending you wonderful wishes from across the miles here in New York City. Stay safe and be careful of the ice!!!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Such a lovely and peaceful video. Hope your appointment goes well and looking forward to seeing those pots. 🥰🎄

[@nataliegrant5456]

I can't wait to see the end result. It's stunning with just the branches.

[@stephanieprice722]

Whenever I see video of the natural landscape in your area, I am awed again by what you've done on your own property...the beautiful oasis of green and life you have created! The natural landscape has it's own beauty and appeal but it makes it very clear the time, effort and love you both put in to cultivating your land.

[@whitneysnodgrass7953]

I swear Laura you are like SUPERWOMEN!!! You go girl!!

[@sydneykasmar]

Being in nature and being able to forage some it is so fulfilling. I enjoyed watching your foraging trip and the amazing landscape. The drone footage offered a wonderful view of it. Thank you!

[@peggyshook6746]

I love seeing the water, snow and beautiful scenery. Thank you.

[@feliciacardone8900]

Beautiful shots. So relaxing. What a team! The branches are perfect for those pots can't wait to see the finish project

[@tammyjensen1104]

Your rabbit trails are sweet. It is fun to share your joy and love for your family.

[@suekuly4723]

Okay....just WOW! I started watching this and the scenery Aaron is AMAZING .... had to stop it and share....now to resume....😀 Can’t wait for tomorrow’s video to see those pots. Your creativity is wonderful.

[@bonnieknepper473]

The drone shots are so good. Gives this Great Lakes gal a prospective of your area.

[@melaniestallings2621]

Fabulous drone footage, Aaron. It’s so beautiful there, even in winter’s sleep.

[@JessisKnoll]

I always appreciate seeing footage of Idaho like this. It reminds of how much I love the hills and mountains here. Never to be taken for granted. It's beautiful. Now I've got to make that goal of getting an off the grid cabin for summertime peacefulness. Just planted the native wild rose here in my own yard. My MIL told me to cut the spent blooms like you would with other roses. I was like, "No! I'm leaving them for the rosehips!"

[@jenishakhadka2266]

Aaron wowed me with the drone footage, could not take my eyes off the screen. It used to be fun to watch the foraging videos but this one just took my breath away. Keep them coming guys.

[@carolyost6733]

Man i loved the road trip to forge. What gorgeous country. Such different terrain so close to you. I forge greens in the empty lots around me. Fun and cheap!

[@wendycash54]

Laura, you are spot on when it comes to adapting and being flexible. I think we also need to think about the joy of the people around us, because if we are down, it brings everyone else down, as they want us to be happy. This year has been different that is for sure. I have decorated about as much as usual, but its bittersweet since few people will be over. Its for me though. I am having some occasional difficulties with not having our traditional get togethers, but we are going to gather in smaller groups (I have three grown children 9 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren) and then zoom our gift giving. I hope everyone else out there is able to make this year special in some way, and not be totally discouraged.

[@Sisteryoda1440]

Are you using the drone?!? This is magnificent! Does You Tube give out awards for cinematography?

[@maryhansen4618]

Drone shots captured the essence of the the hills. Very beautiful.

[@potatopotatoeOG]

I hope everything goes smoothly with the new baby and you have a great festive season. The Rose hips look amazing. And I can't wait to see how you use them.😊💚💗

[@anitahill4725]

Laura, I so enjoyed this video. You are such a precious lady to me. Your positive attitude toward everything you do is such a blessing. The last part of the video really touched my heart.💞💞

[@pamketron]

Oh Wow! Those are stunning just as they are. Will be amazing once you put all the greenery in. There are beautiful greenery and berries in the mountains of your high desert area. So happy you made it on your foraging trip. It brings me joy to see you and your wonderful husband just getting away to spend quality time together as y’all are almost 8 months pregnant. A cherished memory you have of this day together. That’s the most important thing is creating lasting memories together. May God Bless y’all richly during this holiday season. Y’all are an amazing team and family. Love & Hugs! ❤️❄️🎄❤️🌿⛄️❤️

[@robertbaker9775]

The drone shots and music were SPECTACULAR!! Just cannot express how much I adore these videos! Please let us know how the ultrasound goes. Can't wait to meet Baby Girl❣️💚❤️💚❤️ Linda in Houston

[@sheilamontoya7003]

Thank you guys for my mini vacation. I love love the road trip views. So peaceful. Enjoy yalls day

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! It was fun going with you to do your foraging (in my beautiful state of Idaho), seeing the beautiful scenery and drone shots. It was a perfect trip! Now I'm anxious to see the rest of the decorating in those pots. I missed your Mom going with you, but it's always fun seeing Aaron. Thank you so much for taking us along!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Aaron’s skill is on FULL display as we are all treated to that view (and music!) as they head out for Laura to forage! Laura, how we love your excited smile about decorating those gorgeous pots. Hope the ultra sound was exciting. Bless you all....

[@janetherron5843]

BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for taking us along... Enjoyed every minute... Glad you and Aaron could get away and enjoy the awesome scenery... Thanks again... Aaron, you have that drone driving down😁❤

[@marjoriemcelwain9491]

We've always loved the country, tramping up and down the ravines, swinging on vines, so foraging is right up my alley. Love to see your family having traditions and seeing the wild. God bless, Oh yeah we want to know about the ultrasound!

[@myracamilo7826]

Lol I watched it on mute because my grand babies and my son were watching a movie, I wanted to be in the same room as them. I was excited to watch Laura with her mom on this annual outing they do and at the same time doing a picnic while sipping wine. I will have to watch again and listen to everything.

[@lisadonnelly3264]

Those pots are gonna look SO cool Laura 👍👍 I had never heard of dogwood but now I really like it. Good attitude ...as per usual ...go with the flow !!

[@darcygillan3098]

Love, love, love the drone footage, Aaron! Such a beautiful and peaceful way to start my day. Thanks, Laura and Aaron, for taking us along on this annual outage!

[@lizshoemaker8713]

Missed seeing your momma this year, but it was still such a beautiful video! I just want to thank you for being such an inspiration, you’ve given me ideas I never would have thought of on my own! 💗💗💗

[@debtheweb7175]

I would love to spend a day doing this. When I was much much younger my mom and grandmother and I foraged some rose hips on a country road and I never forgot it.

[@tvcat3665]

That is a nice memory.🌿🍃

[@cathybranly1839]

That was so peaceful and just the branches make a difference. You make everything so enjoyable.

[@sylviakirchel2519]

What a beautiful cold looking area.😊 Maybe you can show us what the rose bushes look like when in full bloom. Love wild roses! Love road trips with my hubby, we have the best conversations❤
