I have been watching your channel for 7 years.. you are actually a part of my life. 🙌 I see you showing up everyday with consistency, planning, process, progress, setbacks, knowledge, new directions, family, faith and an attitude that is honorable to say the least...I so love gardens, nature, your passion and progress...And as you grow, I am blessed to see those little inspiring additional gems of the loving parenting of Benjamin and Samantha that are golden. Even if you're not into gardening, any Mom's with little ones should watch this too. Please share xx
Well stated. Couldn't agree more.
Well said. This channel is what starts my day. It may sound silly but for some reason, somehow Laura reminds me of the way I was raised, patience, love and understanding of childhood freedom to grow. I just love this family as if it were my family.
I didn't grow up with good parents. But I watch this to see how real families interact with each other. One day I hope I will hv this with my husbands family
I could not agree more! Laura and Aaron are a part of our family ❤❤❤
I feel the same. I haven’t been watching as long but I don’t plan on stopping.
The tree is beautiful. Love the icicles. I sure do miss the decorating time spent with my kids when they were little. You're such a great mom. Benjamin and Samantha will always remember the times spent decorating with you and how you made the season magical for them. They are adorable.
I would give everything to have one day back when my kids were that age 🥹 I have 3 teenagers now, and I also love this stage where they are coming into adulthood, but man I miss those pure joyous Christmases❤ (I think I will really love the grandparent stage soon).
Just seeing the wee ones playing happily and creatively in the sand was pure joy. Then, when they joined you to help decorate the tree just melted my heart. Thank you so much for sharing these moments with us.
Such a warmly enchanting place and an amazing tree!
Benjamin is becoming quite the creative collaborator and Samantha is a doll! It's a real joy to see special glimpses into your children's lives. 🎄
The Hartley is BEAUTIFUL.
Loved seeing Dad in there helping with the construction project. Really loved Samantha saying “I’m gonna eat it”. The kids are so cute. This is going to be a great Christmas for you all. 😊
@@CrispeeCrisps15I think you’ve totally missed the point being made and to your point one shouldn’t go slinging insults and/or innuendos around because, like a boomerang, it’s liable to come back and smack you.🪃
I absolutely love that you involve Benjamin and Samantha in projects! It is so important for them to be a part of everything! And you leave their choices as they hang them, hard to do for me when I’m a little ocd! What strikes me most about the Hartley tree is the balance of the orange slices and the soft butterflies! They just soften all the glitz from the other ornaments.
✨Exquisite!!✨ Everything about this video was beautiful…the tree…the lovely ornaments…and you and Aaron joining in with those precious Littles to build their gingerbread houses…so many blessings!!❤️💚🎁
Love the tree. I love how thoughtful Benjamin is when placing ornaments. He wants to find the perfect spot.
We have been collecting bird ornaments for our tree for most of our married life (40 years this year- wow!) I give one to my husband in his stocking and he gives one to me. We have very few actual duplicates! There are many that are the same species, though. They can be made of anything. The only loose rule is that they must be birds we see in our yard. Yours are lovely.
It has become a habit for me to watch your videos, whether gardening on your property or off, cooking, shopping for antiques with your mom and sister, or shopping for trees and plants with Aaron, you and the kids doing activities, visiting Andrews all year round and going on and so forth, it is a real pleasure, Laura and Aron, thanks both for your family friendly, useful and enjoyable content.
Love, love, love the Hartley tree🎄. Having the kids help decorate the tree is just the most Christmas thing to me. When we were kids we just loved decorating the tree together. What a great little helper Benjamin was. The kitchen window looks beautiful as well. So much fun doing all the little projects “Tis the season”
I love how you guys interact with your children and encourage them to create. I see Benjamin being really creative and has an eye for placement.
Oh my goodness!!!
The tree looks so beautiful! It was so much fun watching the kids make the gingerbread house and train. Also, watching Benjamin help with the kitchen window..
Watching you all is the start of every morning for me.. Garden Answer and my coffee. 😉
Your videos are the highlight of my mornings. I am always saying, “I need to watch my garden girl.” Thanks for all the joy your family brings 💕
It is wonderful how the kids can entertain themselves with what they find around the gardens. The ‘sandbox’ was a great hit. Thanks for sharing the gingerbread tine with us. The Hartley tree holds its own with all the outdoor lights!
We traditionally make a gingerbread village every year (the landscaping to me is the really fun part) and as the older kids entered college we made it part of our Christmas Eve... always a table set up with candy and pre-made houses of various shapes. All my four and whatever friends usually accompanied them home from college got very into it and we've been doing it now for maybe 30 years. No matter what age, it's fun to see them eating candy and helping each other with ideas.
This year I was feeling cheap and thought maybe I'd put that money/effort to something new, but I realized that you just can't break these traditions so easily. Watching Laura's fam now affirms I need to get to work on the gingerbread! Can't disappoint....
I have been watching Garden Answer from the beginning and a never ever get tired of watching her decorate Christmas trees each year.💕🇬🇧
That was such an amazing video. So peaceful and loving. You have beautiful children and your influence is certainly becoming such a part of Benjamin. Thank you.
Laura do you ever pinch yourself that your greenhouse dream came true and it’s so glorious inside❤
I havent put a tree in 7+ years because I chose cats and sanity instead. So this year I put in a small pink one in my art studio and i was really going for an aesthetic, but felt like something was missing. Enter Laura with all her incredible inspiration and now I'm off to the dollar store to add some sparkly snowflakes to my cute lil tree!
The tree is STUNNING, Laura. It is the crescendo of the outside decorations.
Just beautiful.
It was so nice to see your babies playing in the same area as you were decorating the tree.
What a bright light, you shine, Laura.
We should call this tree the Laura Tree. ❤️
Your vision, your patience, and most of all your energy!! It’s just beautiful!!!
Laura, I loved that you added butterflies, birds and icycles to that Christmas tree, I usually use them on my trees too, bring me so much memories, one winter afternoon when I was a teenager I found a monarch butterfly 🦋almost frozen outside from the cold, and placed it on one of the branches of our Christmas Tree near a small incandescent bulb to stay warm, the next day it was still on the same branch near the bulb but was already flapping its wings and when the sun came out I released it to continue its journey towards the south; also, yars before, my mom used to collect butterfly cocoons from a laurel plant that we had in our fron yard to protect them from the birds, she, my siblings and I took care of them and when the butterflies came out we put them on the living room curtains while they spread their wings, was magical to see those beautiful and delicate creatures, we fed them with sugar water and then we released them when the day was warm enough. It also reminds me of the injured birds 🐦 that I have cared for with my parents since I was a child, from a little owl to some pigeons, such beatiful memories. 💖Big hugs from Sonora, Mexico.
Your children were having so much fun! And the Hartley tree is Stunning!!!❤️🎄💚
The lights on the tree are the perfect brightness. They really stand out.
The Hartley Tree was soooo beautiful. Your last shot of it all lit up was even more beautiful than I ever imagined. It is a real show stopper❤️. The kitchen window turned out so pretty and Benjamin did a great job directing the job. You are raising the sweetest kids…just love watching both of them 😇💕
Honestly I live vicariously through you and your children…both are the same age as my grandchildren in another state… and I know they are doing similar activities…watching you and your children warms my heart❤
GLORIOUS once again! You are raising your children in a magical place! Don't grow up too fast, little ones, so Mama and Papa can embrace these magical moments they will treasure throughout all of your lives. The Hartley Christmas tree is kind of your Rockefeller Christmas tree moment to signal that it's all ready to begin! Blessing to you and yours and all of the Garden Answer followers !!! Ho Ho Ho everyone! 🎅 ❤ 🤶
Everything is gorgeous. Love how the kids joins in. Benjamin is a talented little dude. Congratulations for being such a great teacher, mom to your precious children. Thanks for sharing.
Love that he knows just how to incorporate the weather into his play! I remember very well how my Grandma, who lived on the outskirts of Nyssa, would tell us a dust storm had come through . . . the struggle is real, Benjamin!
Laura, the Hartley looks beautiful and the tree is exquisite!❤ Benjamin and Samantha are just precious! You are a wonderful mother. Thank you for sharing your family with us. May God continue to bless you in all things.🙏🏻
With all the craziness going on in the world, your channel brings peace and joy 🥰 so glad I found your channel!! I would love to tour your homestead and your parent’s yard is breathtaking! ❤️
I hope you will show us how you decorate inside and outside your home every year. I always get so many great ideas from you. You seem to love decorating for Christmas and it is so enjoyable.
I can't get over how beautiful the red geraniums look among all your Christmas decorations. Who would have thought.....
WOW!! The tree in the Hartley looks spectacular! It's fun to see Benjamin so involved in your projects. Maybe he'll become a master gardener like you and Aaron.
It all looks beautiful. I love how you include your kids in the decorating. I'm too much of a perfectionist to let my kids help and they're grown. The window looks great! Benjamin did a great job!
I was just thinking what a beautiful chronology of life these videos will be for Benjamin and Samantha when they are older. Oh what I would do for a video of my mom….grandma and our life.
What a Magical video! Just love seeing Samantha Grace and Benjamin learning and helping, so sweet. Then we get a treat seeing Aaron help with the ginger bread magic 😊
Absolutely gorgeous, the Hartley tree is magical and your kitchen window, very festive! Laura, you do beautiful work!
That tree looks so beautiful!!! Cute how you all 4 sat down to do the gingerbread houses. You guys are all a blessing. Jesus has his hand on your family!!!!
Fabulous gardener & an even better Mom!! Your family is truly blessed...as are we your faithful followers!
Oh my goodness, I couldn't not to like this tree 🤶🎄🎅 you are so sweet ❤
Benjamin is really ahead of his years❤
Take care
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
❤Peggy❤
SO MAGICAL!!! And what an eye Benjamin has, and of course Miss Samantha was true to her word, "She just wanted to eat it Momma!" Thanks for sharing, makes me miss those times, my daughter is all grown up, so watching you guys warms my heart.
🥰🌲🏘
Thank you, Aaron, and the kids so much for letting the whole world enjoy your joy of Christmas.
This is such a nice video, Laura. The tree is spectacular. The stars of the show were Benjamin and Samantha. They had so much fun with the sand and Samantha squeezing the frosting out of the bag to eat was precious. Moments to remember. 🎄💕😊🧸🦕
Love this video… beautiful outcome and perfect family time. Thank you for being a mom that doesn’t move the ornaments. Little people remember everything❤
Absolutely loved this video with Benjamin and Samantha helping! It was wonderful. The tree in the Hartley is gorgeous! So sparkely! So beautiful! Wow! Love all your videos!
So heartwarming . Your babies are precious. Tre tree magical. Building gingerbread houses with Mama and Papa! 💗
The Hartley looks great! The kids will remember these sessions of decorating, playing in the sand, making their gingerbread creations. What lovely traditions and memories are being created! The most fun of Christmas is making it special for the children!!!!🎄💚🙏
What a wonderful fun video to watch. Made me smile watching the kids play and help decorate. Everything is starting to look like Christmas. Have a blessed day everyone.
Tree turned out great and I laughed out loud when Laura discovered the ornament on her back, as if she doesn’t shine enough on her own! Kids are so cute and precious! Everything turned out beautifully! ❤😊🥰
Beautiful.... simply beautiful! Love the icicles... the tree just gleams. The kids are so cute... Samantha licking her fingers with icing! If THAT isn't the true memory of Christmas! Benjamin helping... and doing a magnificent job! Such adorable kids! Well done, Laura (and Aaron)... well done!
Such a beautiful tree! 🎄 Benjamin's window looks great too, I love the cluster of stars hanging in the center. Samantha saying "I'm gonna eat it" about the gingerbread train made me laugh because I usually wind up eating half the decorations during assembly too! 😂 Thanks so much for sharing these moments with us, it really puts me in the holiday spirit! ❤
All of these different areas are great play and learning spots for the children! You've created a magical wonderland for them! 🙂
Time with the kiddos is the best! I love hanging out with mine doing stuff like this! Warms the heart! Blessings! 🎄
The Hartley takes my breath away. Absolutely magnificent.
Love how the family does things together! Beautiful! The love shines through!
So much about Christmas is for children. It's wonderful to see the magic of Christmas through their eyes. The view from the inside of your house to the outside is pretty magical and beautiful.
You do such a beautiful job! Love the heartly, and your kitchen window ! Samantha looks just like your mother, sooo sweet! This is such a sweet age! Benjamin is such a good little helper!❤
That was a lot of fun, Laura. Thank you! I love birds, butterflies and all the pretties on the tree in the Hartley!!
That tree was beautiful!!!!!!! Let heaven and nature sing. Thanks for sharing. Love from Texas ❤❤❤
If I had a beautiful Hartley to decorate, I would do maybe a pollinator themed tree.
"Birds, Bumble Bees & Butterflies".
I so enjoy your channel and watch it daily so I can imagine what my life would look like should all my dreams came true. Your ornaments are amazing.
You work ~so~ hard on your beautiful land to create and share magical ideas for all of us to dream about. So thank you for that.
Blessings to you and your entire family this holiday season and beyond. 🎄💝

Laura & Aaron, I’ve probably thanked you before, but THANK YOU for sharing your family with us. It warms my heart to see your kiddos helping you and giving surprises to you with tings they made. It is just too cute! The kitties are entertaining too, of course! 💕
Thank you for taking time to do these videos.
The nature ornaments on the Hartley tree are just so spectacular. I particularly love the birds and the orange slices. The outdoor and indoor spaces are really all coming together. Loved this video with the family and the gingerbread projects as well.
So nice that you let the kids help decorate! It really builds their confidence and decision making skills. My mom always wants the tree to look a certain way. I still second guess myself in my 50s lol. I love bird ornaments also 🕊️. 😊
Hi Laura, Aaron and kiddos! It was fun watching all of the interaction with all of you. The Hartley tree and kitchen window turned out so pretty. And, the gingerbread train and house are adorable. Thank you so much for sharing!
Nature meets glam is now my Christmas theme lol
Such cute kids…love it. “Samantha you’re going to just keep filling the containers” just like her mommy🤣❤
Gorgeous tree! Love seeing the kids playing in the background!
Beautiful.. My favorite tree ive seen you do was the all natural decos. I believe it was in the sun porch. I thought of all the work you did all year for it and admired your talent even more than i already did. It was beautiful. Your talent shows in all your projects. I look forward to every video.
It’s so funny, the ornaments that really stand out to me are the oranges, and the butterflies. They’re all beautiful!
The butterflies add such a unique touch! Snowflakes are some of my favorites. The icicles provide a neat accent. I love the skirt, it looks like mountain ridges brushed with snow! Love to see the children playing and working with you. Thank you for sharing!
Have a little hack for you for installing your garland. Take a tension rod wrap it with the garland , it will reach from one side to the other, hold everything in place and no nails or hooks required 😊
Great idea for the kitchen window! Thanks for sharing!
The butterflies and birds are so beautiful and so fitting for the Hartley
I just love your videos with Benjamin and Samantha😍
I don’t think you realize how much happiness you bring us❤ it’s so good to see you as a family work together to create a beautiful world for you all to live in . We’re lucky to come along with you Merry Christmas ❤
I wish you would make a CALENDAR from photographs of your garden & spaces. I would buy it every year! I love Benjamin's "There was a sandstorm" comment, how creative. lol The tree looks stunning.
Love watching the kids working on their gingerbread creations. Even Aaron got in on the action.
Tree in Hartley looks festive and naturist and decorating with your kids brings memories back of mine all grown up!!!
The tree is so pretty and love the window! So fun to see Benjamin's enthusiasm.
Benjamin was so cute turning the ornaments until they were just so so!! Love watching the kids❤😮
Having a nature themed tree in the Hartley was a great choice!
Gorgeous tree in the Hartley! So much fun to see the kiddos participate, each in their own way!
Laura, your daily videos are my inspiration and cup of coffee! Last year, I copied your Hartley tree decorations on my outdoor patio Christmas 🎄 tree with GREAT success! I will say rain does ruin the dehydrated oranges! 😅😅😅😅 Thank you for your enthusiasm and for sharing your life with us. So peaceful.
Just lovely, every bit of it. Samantha Grace looks to her big brother for subtle direction even as independent as she is. Yours is indeed an inspiring family channel, it fills me up, makes me want to do right in all aspects, and it gives me hope at a time when there can seem to be so much negativity otherwise. We know that love cancels the negative. Thank you and the entire team/family. You are appreciated. ❤️🙏🤗
Absolutely love that tree. It’s so nice in the Hartley. And the kids play so well together.
The glow of the lights on the tree with the sunset in the back ground was lovely. You are the BEST.
Been watching you for some time now. You are always an inspiration. I try out some of the plants that you suggested so far so good. They are still very young but are look great!
Thank you!
I love the dried orange slices! They look like stained glass. And really make the tree "pop". The birds, butterflies are so quaint. And all the sparkle makes it grand. Laura your decorating is top notch. You could picture your containers and decorations in a magazine. Great ideas and thanks for sharing them with your viewers.
I love to hear the excitement in your voice when you go back and look at the finished project. I am so happy to have found this channel. It's sometimes just the simple things like your nature tree that allows us to enjoy the world we live in. I look forward to everyday always hoping there is a new video from you that has been uploaded. You could make sand look beautiful. Thank you for doing these. Hugs to those sweet babies of yours and being a cat person, I always love seeing the kitties prowling around the grounds.
Everything looks great! I'd love to see a red poinsettia on the table, would bring some red to that side of the room to balance the red geraniums!
Your tree has a Victorian look to it without the garland, just perfect for the Hartley🤩
I love to see a family project with the gingerbread houses.
I think I’d be tempted to leave the tree in the Hartley all year… gorgeous!
What a beautiful day, beautiful memories with the family and especially for the kids! God bless you all 🙏, thank you for constantly sharing your family and life with me 🤩! Love you guys 💖 the kids are my joy as well..... I think it's as close to a grandma that I will get, unless a miracle happens 🤩😅
Great memories being made for your family! Merry Christmas everyone!
We have big huge windows all along the north side of our house. One year we put birds on the tree. Such a sad bird graveyard when we got home from work. We counted three big cardinals and a few blue jays. So we had to put whirlybirds in front of the windows to keep them away. Broke my heart.
Great job. I love the way you encourage your children.
I love the tree - “nature glam” is a perfect style for you!
You have made the Hartley warm , cozy, unique, plant friendly , and Beautiful ! All of the things we all love! The Christmas Tree is Dreamy!
That tree is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen! Bravo!!
