One day, this footage will be more precious than gold, when you look back at three generations spending time together and making such special memories. Coming from someone who recently lost their mom. ❤

[@camicri4263]

For sure! Precious time! ❤️ I am so sorry for your loss 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤ praying for peace, comfort and strength 🙏🏻❤

[@angelaengler2387]

So sorry about your mom, hugs❤️

[@sarajanemiller8482]

So sorry about losing your Mom! Prayers and Peace.

[@jacquip644]

Sorry to hear that. I still think I'll find my mom at the kitchen table...and she's gone 21 years. Blessings to you, be well.❤

[@ToniBergquist]

You are so right! Time spent together is never wasted! So sorry for your loss! Big Hugs 🤗

[@leorapope672]

I love how Samantha packed her portion of the planter full just like mom. Three generations of gardeners..

[@TeamBailey1]

Ditto! 😊

[@kathierogers3208]

How lovely 3 generations working in this project! Beautiful !

[@agby945]

It’s lovely how Laura’s mom keeps mothering Laura with such respect and affection.

[@user-gt8ot1yo1y]

I do believe that Susan is one of the best mothers on Earth!

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

Samantha has mom and Nana hands. She was handling those plants like a pro. She has 2 great teachers to learn from.

[@michelleschmadeka66]

Susan is such a good Nana. I love how she encourages the kids to use their imagination when she plays with them. So many children are so used to being entertained that they don’t know how to be imaginative. ❤

[@barbararobinson-cs3ym]

Love the birdbath, but watching the 3 beautiful ladies working together was so wonderful.

[@shannonshunk8897]

I am practically crying watching the three of you work on the planter. Such a memory Samantha will have planting with her Mom and Grandmother. Such a sweet memory for you to share. That is exactly the thing that makes your channel so special. Thank you for sharing your family with us. ❤

[@Fiberartist]

Seeing Samantha Grace work so beautifully along with Mom and Grammy just melts your heart.🥰

[@cathybehler4893]

What a great memory for Samantha when she gets older. 3 generations of gardeners what a beautiful project. Samantha's did a wonderful job on her section.

[@eileenchang2173]

I love how Laura’s mom still mothers Laura, but in a very respectful way, mentioning that she has to be patient after Laura was looking at the stain she applied, and asked her was she really controlling herself with buying more succulents . 🥰🌸🇨🇦 Samantha and Benjamin are so fortunate to have a loving family!

[@Moni-dr1bz]

Maybe a few plants on the floor under the drain holes to catch the water for a bit on watering days and then removed.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Thank you (x a million) for sharing your beautiful family with us! My Mom died when I was nineteen.......and seeing you with your Mom warms my heart and soul. May Gos continue to pour His favor upon you and your family. ❤❤❤

[@joannegray9999]

What a wonderful treat having your mum turn up, Laura! I wasn't expecting that 💕🌸

[@Blake.Cooper]

Lovely job, ladies!! Seeing Samantha tuck in those root balls made my heart melt!

[@melialei]

She is a girl with initiative. She has a great mind.

[@sf55514]

Oh I love that all three girls working together.

[@ameliamoreira8335]

Só lamento ser tão extenso...se falasse enquanto mostra o k nos interessa ...os vídeos eram mais curtos... 😮

[@medinasod2013]

A moment in time you will always cherish and so will Samantha when she gets older❤

[@justatitle]

Samantha is a natural. Her little hands in the soil are so intentional. Loved the 3 generation collaborative participation.

[@eyrerosecottage1970]

Three generations of women working together in the soil with some beautiful plants! What a lovely experience! Thank you for sharing it with us viewers!

[@miickeyp1695]

Samantha did better than I would have! Three generations working on a project together. So lovely! ❤

[@jltest5230]

How absolutely heartwarming to see 3 generations putting this together. It’s priceless. I just love your mom. She is so precious. You take after her with your sweet spirit. What a fun day. Samatha is a natural. Just like you.

[@JeannieStevens-r7k]

That bird bath succulent arrangement is so beautiful & I honestly teared up witnessing your three generations working together on the arrangement. So enjoyable

[@WaterfallFW]

Seeing three generations of ladies working on a project is very cool.

[@helenmcclellan452]

You've created another special family memory your daughter will treasure, that's wonderful! ❤ these tender moments.

[@vickieyoung7122]

What a lovely use of a birdbath...glad you did not stain it, love the light color...makes the green plants pop. Can't wait to see how Susan rearranges the Hartley interior

[@loriewilfong9364]

I loved that so much it brought me to tears. Three beautiful generations of gardners. Watching Samantha's little hands doing it just as you would Laura. She is a natural. PURE GOLD THIS ONE, PURE GOLD❤❤❤

[@phillipsgirl3278]

Oh my word, as Laura and her Mom would say. That is absolutely gorgeous.

[@seriouslyreally5413]

It "lightened up" because you brushed on the solvent and not the stain. If you don't STIR the stain thoroughly before use, the pigment solids have settled to the bottom and all you are doing is dipping your brush into the solvent that has separated and floating on top- which barely has any color. If you paint only the solvent on your piece, the solvent evaporates and there is no color left behind!! If you want less pigment you have to still stir the bottom of the can to mix up all of the colorant and then add paint thinner to dilute the amount of pigment.

[@lisac.8266]

Found myself with a huge smile on my face watching Samantha planting. Three generations together. My heart was full!❤️😎

[@claytoncomeaux414]

Kinda teared up when watching Mrs. Susan enjoy this time with her daughter and grand daughter. Plus harvesting FOUR EGGS , Benjamin!

[@FindYourDivineDesign]

How precious! Three generations of gardeners! Look at how “professional” Samantha already looks at planting her little succulents! ❤ love it!

[@jeanetteclintonridgegarden]

3 generations right there what a beautiful video memory you just made for Samantha!

[@Gardenmimi1950]

A memory to treasure. 3 generations creating something so beautiful ❤️

[@meemawstexasgarden]

Not a big fan of succulents but this project has totally changed my mind, it reminds me of a patchwork quilt. Totally impressed by Samantha’s part of the project, she is very adept for her age.

[@jeanniecarroll9119]

Oh my word this brought tears to my eyes watching 3 generations planting the succulents. What a great memory !!!!

[@claudiaceleste777]

I love how you always do the big reveal in it’s new position when you’re really excited about something, viewing it from all directions and in its “framing”, because we all do the same thing. So awesome that we get to share these simple pleasures with you.

[@paulashoultz6092]

Three generations working on a project together, how beautiful!

[@JeanneHedman]

Two generations of thoughtful women teaching the third! Such special memories.... Laura, your idea of moving the table and chair set out is a good one, it appears on camera that it will give you so much more space your suggestion of a bistro set off to the side on one side would look so cute.

[@brittneyemerson2079]

Hi Laura! If you found these holes to take longer to cut than usual: At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="205">3:25</a> and <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="275">4:35</a> I noticed that the 2 concrete cores from previous drips were still stuck in the middle of the Diamond bit. The open “window” on the side of the bit can help you stick a screwdriver in there and pop those out. Makes the next drill hole go faster. Essentially you were disc sanding each hole today rather than cutting a ring.

[@brittneyemerson2079]

Autocorrect correction: “Cores from previous HOLES” (not drips)

[@jeansunderland6115]

Beautiful use of a bird bath. The arrangement of succulents is lovely. How nice to see you encourage Samantha Grace to be part of this. It is always a pleasure to have your Mom stop by and be a part of the project as well. I have told you before as have many of your viewers you make my day!❤

[@barbb.9489]

The family generation moments are so special, just perfect! Susan and the kiddos just rock in the movies! Smiles! ❤😂❤

[@MelSchmidt7]

Oh my word...what a treasure this video is!! 3 generations of gardeners working on a beautiful arrangement together.

[@exinilda]

I think we all had that awww moment when Samantha Grace joined in the fun. What a beautiful trio of generations. ❤️🙏

[@royde-bo-hun3113]

I have to agree Laura, the planter looks amazing as is.. sooo cute watching little Samantha join in. You girls are sooo awesome.. 🐝🐝🦋🦋

[@unicornzalltheway8064]

Your Mother is the sweetest Laura , gentle in her words and tone ❤️ every time I see/ hear her voice , I smile 😊

[@wingedinfinity6715]

What a fun time ‼️💕💥🤗‼️ Samantha looked like a pro !!! (She is 😊) and the succulents are GORGEOUS (my favorite is the colorful aloe 😍). It looks so elegant in the Hartley, perfect ‼️💕‼️ Suggestion -- I would probably get a few HIGH Bistro tables and maybe one one one side and one close to it so as to be able to talk and visit but also by being up high you would be able to see so much of the gardens and statues etc around the Hartley. I LOVE that building ... would be out there a lot if I lived there😍😍😍. Anyway you'll find the perfect fit, you are SO TALENTED GIRL ‼️‼️‼️ My favorite videos are when you and your family are enjoying time together ..... ABSOLUTE HEAVEN.✨☁️✨

[@lorimariegrace614]

Oh how lovely the birdbath planter came out. How precious is sweet Samantha working with Mom and Grandma. She’ll be alongside her Mom for a long time to come.

[@ronatiram3062]

love samantha participating independently and the multigeneration project! what a great memory ffor all of you.

[@mrsjaydie]

Oh, SO precious how naturally Samantha plants things at her age!!

[@waureenkyriacou5056]

what a wonderful way to spend time together.....your mom ( the most experienced , who taught you how to plant ) yourself and now your daughter , who looks totally adept at taking plants out of their pots and gently pushing the them in the soil.... now we can say we've seen the next generation of " Garden Answer " learning how to pant a planter....well done " mom's "

[@GardeningwithPurpose329]

3 generation planting together!..❤Samantha Grace did a fabulous job because she take after her Mom. ❤

[@klcpca]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1000">16:40</a> what precious moments.... Samantha is already pro at packing those root balls!!! The Hartley placement as the perfect choice ❤

[@saramunoz8742]

That spot in the Hartley is the perfect spot! Watching three generations planting it up was the sweetest thing too!

[@amoijoy573]

I am most impressed with Samantha Grace how she handles the plants. She’s like a pro!

[@michelebushnik2874]

Oh Laura and Susan❤❤ to see Samantha doing what you both love to do, and her skill at it, was amazing to watch❤ Mom, like daughter, Mom like daughter❤❤❤ Its gorgeous by the way! And perfect for the Hartley! What a beautiful share.

[@aaltjegrant4018]

Love that your mom got to help, and seeing Samatha Grace got involved as well! Good job! So beautiful

[@suziperret468]

Love the repurposed birdbath with planted succulents. I had one , well a repurposed fountain in my garden in California with a large central fountain area and the surrounding tiers filled with succulents and bromeliads. It always made my heart sing to watch how well the plants did. They got really big and had some wonderful diverse blooms. Glad you left the birdbath the original color. It looks way more classic!❤

[@sherricorbo6076]

I love that you are willing to look at spaces that you originally thought would be perfect and change your mind after living with it for a while. My husband rolls his eyes every time I want to move furniture around for a fresh, new look. And Samantha is already a pro at planting! So adorable 🥰

[@user-qo9yn3lt1f]

Three generations of helping plant that planter for the Hartley. How very special the memories!

[@patricialester2416]

Samantha Grace her little planting and her little hands are just like yours, she's been learning very well, so cute, lovey , she's just beautiful 💙😇😇😇

[@Mklockhart]

I love that succulent planter! And I love Samantha‘s portion, she did a great job! Can we talk fairy garden for Samantha? She seems like the perfect age to create a little corner of your garden as a fairy garden!

[@janetdierker5700]

It's so wonderful that you allow and encourage the kids to be involved with your projects. As I watched Samantha unpot one of the plants, it occurred to me that there are many adults who don't know how to do that! You are giving them wonderful memories, great experiences and valuable skills from a very early age--bravo!

[@carlas872]

This video is definitely a favorite. So wonderful seeing you, your mom and Samantha Grace creating a gorgeous succulent planter. Ranks up there with the one of Benjamin as a toddler sneezing and you catching him before he fell over and saying how much you love him.

[@taraallison4353]

Oh my goodness... Samantha did a beautiful job! I loved how she was placing and packing in the soil around each one. She knew to slightly squeeze the container and ease the plant out.. You've done a wonderful job teaching her. I think she'll be a wonderful gardener (if that what she wants to do😉) just like you and your mom when she grows up. Awesome job you two!!!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

The bird bath now planter looks good in the Hartley. I love the idea of revamping the Hartley and that table will be gorgeous in your kitchen! Plus, how sweet to watch all three of you girls working on the planter project. 🥰

[@saundraturner8769]

I agree with you Laura, having to fill up my bird bath every day was not ideal. I'm also in a hot location so the water evaporates quickly! I pulled a Laura and drilled a hole through the bottom center of my bird bath, then I put a small drip hose up through the bottom, attached an emitter, and caulked it on the top with clear caulk. Now, every time my garden is watered, my bird bath is automatically filled up. I love watching the birds take their baths as well as just stop by for a drink of water. Thank you for this video, I loved when you walked into the Hartley from the front, that beautiful 3 generation arrangement is stunning where you placed it!

[@user-gt8ot1yo1y]

Absolutely delightful to see all three generations creating the new succulent planter. Really looking forward to seeing future creations and Samantha's involvement in the gardens. 🥰

[@heidijones1516]

I love that planter, it looks fabulous there filled with succulents!! Like everyone else I was so moved to see the three of you creating together. Wow Samantha has been paying attention! Looks like shes a natural.

[@Ishisah]

Yes! Move the table-too cluttered 👍.

[@carolburriss16]

Samantha mimicking you by pinching the pots to loosen the plant then placing it and tamping the soil around the plant - made this video precious. ❤

[@sherrypitt9889]

❤Fantastic! Samantha has her mom’s touch with planting! Wonderful! Thank you. Always great to see you’re sweet mom!

[@Yambataller]

Wow! Go big or go home, huh? 😂 Love your mum helping you re-decorate the Harley! Can’t wait to see that :) Thank you all for all the videos 🙏

[@sherrylauretani9996]

What a beautiful moment….three generations of gardeners!❤

[@deenaandrews9590]

I just love watching you with your mom, sister, and Samantha. I lost my sister, then my mom and mother in law over the past 15 months, and this channel has really helped me thru the unbearable grief grief! Thank you for sharing all that you do!! The succulents are gorgeous!

[@johnchavez8677]

Even more than your pond, your Hartley, and your beautiful property, I'm jelly that your mother lives just down the street from you. RC

[@charlenelindsay2019]

Dear Laura, three generations, love, love, love 🥰 Memories wonderful memories especially when all three of you had your hands in the dirt. This is worthy of a still capture, to hang in the Hartley. 🥰

[@feliciacardone8900]

A great project for Samantha Grace future memories. Three generations- how owesome ❤

[@theresaburg5881]

What a great idea and you are using something you already had, but realized that you didn't like as a bird bath. Looks so nice.

[@sherylemoore8626]

Three generations of gardeners working in the soil! Making memories. The Hartley is the best place for this planting! Simply marvelous.

[@bethD419]

I love how you are always ready with the plants and containers in house no matter the project!

[@angelajanz339]

Three generations of ladies on one project!❤

[@lynkarpick8037]

Oh what a special video-3 generations of gardeners/plant women working on a beautiful project! Samantha was so good at getting them out of the pots ( just like her mom!) and handling the plants. Beautiful family Laura with the best of hearts and souls! And I think the Hartley was a great choice. Will be excited to see you and your mom redo the Hartley in the future! Thanks for a lovely morning “together” !❤❤❤

[@gaylerichards7409]

I just love to see you, your mom and Samantha working together on projects. I love the bird bath planter inside the Hartley. Great decision.

[@hickorygolddoc]

So nice to have 3 generations get to do something together like this and catch it on video! And what a beautiful bird bath! It is a great planter and it came out just gorgeous! And you get to watch how all 3 of your sections will grow! I think that will be so fun. We adore our grand children and luckily see them quite often as the 3 youngest are just 15 minutes away. They love coming to our place out in the country to see the sheep, horses and chickens. With 3 5 year and under kids we are in heaven! Time is precious. Our son wants them to have a childhood like he had. So we are looking for a place in the country with two plots together so we can be closer to them. We have an older grand daughter who has graduated from high school as our 2 kids are 8 years apart. She is quite busy working but we didn’t get to see her as much as we wanted to when she was growing up. Wish we could have. Luckily she is still not far from us. Was such a wonderful video to watch for me! The 5 year old has his first day of school today and we will get to see him tonite boy they grow up sooo fast.

[@ConfusedCorgiPuppy-lh8nc]

Samantha is a little mini Laura!! Her little hands look just like your bigger ones and the way she plants is just like you!! She has watched you a lot!!!

[@sheilagilleland4312]

Oh Samantha, she’s absolutely beautiful. I know your mom enjoys her time with them 🙏❤️

[@lisahause8705]

Laura, your succulent arrangement was meant to be in your Hartley! It’s beautiful …great decision! I enjoyed seeing your Mom & daughter helping you w/ the transplanting! Wowza…Cheers & Smiles for miles! 😁👏🏻

[@LietteL-ll7nu]

What a fun project repurposing the bird bath and using plants that were just hanging around. Mom and Samantha added their special touch to this planter. Placing it in the Hartley was a great location until Christmas then you can just scoot it over in a corner until spring.

[@sharonmirtaheri595]

Very impressed with Samantha’s planting skills!!! She did a great job!💖💖💖

[@sethjohnson5401]

This season is the year of Concrete! Lovely Succulent arrangement that wows! How bountiful and beautiful in the Hartley! Looking forward to seeing the reworking of the Hartley furniture plan as well.

[@shelleymalone4427]

Three generations of beauty and talent working in tandem. Adding this planter to the Hartley is fabulous.

[@wandabrown508]

Loved the part with Samantha, Russell, & bad Douglas! Ha! The birdbath planter turned out MAGNIFICENT: definitely looks great in the Hartley!

[@JRP58]

That planter is gorgeous! Your little apprentice working with you and your mom was so sweet. I think a new furniture arrangement in the Hartley would be fun.

[@BethC458]

The fact that Samantha knows to squeeze the pot to get the plan out is absolutely wonderful. She’ is a natural. She even knows how to pack those plants in.😊

[@donnabrock8861]

Third generation gardener at work😊

[@pamelawang1628]

how nice to have 3 generations work together. good job❤❤❤

[@marialicemorgan19]

Samantha’s little fingers are so cute as she placed those plants.

[@LindaBaker-l1b]

Awww, this is the definition of sweetness and love❣️ PRICELESS❣️ The placement of this arrangement is perfection!

[@Bangkalite]

succulents is how i discovered your channel many years back!

[@shannonquinn7011]

I'm watching your channel from my brother's home at the shore on my daughters laptop...fun! Everytime I watch your video (everyday) I crave to buy many statues and fountains and birdbaths for my yard. I crave to landscape. My budget stops me but I am very inspired to make the outside look pretty. I really like how you moved the Hebe statue. The new fountain is very big and I can imagine all the fun you will all have with it. Thanks for the tip on corking concrete holes in a birdbath. (Shannon's mom, Mary Jane)
