I'm going to grow this flower now. I want to make some of this. My hands get so dry.
*Please have your mom do some videos with you on how she makes the herbal concoctions.
Yes!! Would love more of this! Anytime we can get multiple uses out of one plant makes it worth the time/money we invest.
Love this idea!!! Who doesn’t love all natural things❤️
Yes!
sajmt1414 Oh yes!!! I would love to see you and your mom make some garden concoctions together!!!
Most definitely, please more herbal and the growing of said items please....
Would you make more videos like this? I find this so useful because it's utilizing things from my garden; I'm trying to figure out the things I can do with a newly planted Elderberry bush. Thank you for the great info!
Yes please!!!!!!
Elderberry Flower Syrup is wonderful. You only need a little syrup with club soda, and you have a special treat. You can also mix the syrup with apple juice. I bought an Elderberry just for that purpose. You use the flowers to make the syrup. There are some Tutorials online.
Yes please and have your mother come on!
@@gidget8717 i'd clear any and all of these wacky home remedies with an actual medical physician before using them, especially on a toddler.
Native Americans were using elderberry long before we landed on Plymouth Rick🌧💕💕
I’m quite sure you make your mom proud every single day.
Omg this opens a WHOLE new can of worms for me..... WHAT ELSE IS THERE?!! I want to learn all the herbal things!!! I can’t wait to try something like this. Can you let us know what Momma Andrews says about it?? And get more recipes please ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Miranda Beaudry there is SO much! I started all natural beauty and just researching you can learn so much! I went vegan and organic and found out more about all natural medicinal things. It’s way too much for me to even type out. Just research. You won’t regret it. Etsy is full of amazing women who make their own cosmetics, body care, medicinal salves, oils, etc. once you open that knowledge for yourself, it’s endless. I would be so interested in videos with Mama Andrews about all this too!
Wouldn't you love to see more of Momma Andrews, Miranda? I know I would!!
Egusta Gomez I’ve definitely researched very lightly in the past just enough to know that it’s an entire world of info! I have some work to do! I’m all about organic lifestyle so it’s right on par.
Katy Colorado she is such a delight to hear and see! The whole family is!
Very cute would loved to see your mom giggle when you give it to her...... Hand it to her out the car window.... Stay safe and healthy...Hugs from Minnesota
Wow fun! I have been making my own salves for about Two years. My kids make fun of me too. I have made this one as well as many many others. I enjoy it so much. It was a treat for me to watch this video. Thanks a lot!
You know quarantine got to you when your up late enough to see a garden answer episode when it is uploaded 😳
😮😜🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Jackson Lee exactly what I just did now lol
Hey Laura! I know it’s been several years since you posted this video. I grew calendula this summer and harvested and dried the blooms all summer. Just made the salve this morning. It looks beautiful! Thank you for such educational and fun ideas! You have been such an inspiration.
Amazing. From being beautiful, decorative flowers, to posing as aphid magnets, to being able to become a balm made out of 4 ingredients...that's nature and human interaction at its best. Thank you.
My grandpa makes this all the time ! I also used it on my dog if he had wounds , and on mosquito bites and very dry skin 😊 🌼
I love this! Would love to see more stuff like this from you 😁
I love calendula! I want to make this salve for my hands. I've been harvesting and using calendula flowers, for my stomach, for many years. I dated an herbologist when I was 20 (I'm 57, now! Wow! How did that happen?!?) and learned the benefits of it and chamomile together in a tea for upset stomachs. It is amazing! I learned a lot from him. I'm very thankful for it, too!
I think I will put a little bit of bee's wax in my slave and leave off the lavender. I don't do good with a lot of scented things.
Thanks Laura! This is great!
Man I wanted to grow calendula when you talked about how they take care of aphids, now I REALLY want to get my hands on some! Thank you, Laura!
I love how you presented making the salve. Most videos I’ve watched were fully recorded indoors which causes me to lose interest. This approach was refreshing like a breath of fresh air!
I love this

!
I have been making this for years as well as Dandelion oil for my soaps and salves . It is Dandelion season now & I'm so EXCITED! I go out looking for a clean place to pick them beautiful, healing flowers. Thank you & don't stop! Get you mom to talk about this subject because it is a very important subject that we all not just grow for beauty, but we also learn to plant what we need to survive & prosper! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ God Bless!
I loved this video. I’ve been making salves for my family for a while, and now I have requests for more just like your mom used to get. It makes me happy! Thanks for sharing.
So happy you showed how easy it is to make your own salve. My calendula has its first flowers and I've already bought the supplies. Love GA and all the info. Would also appreciate more videos like this if you make other types of medicinal things. Thanks!
This is so exciting! I would suggest however that if this still makes Benjamin’s skin “angry” to try it without any added fragrance. I need to use unscented products and always notice redness and irritation when I use scent. Essential oils aren’t exempt from this. Also, finding a gentle lotion containing colloidal oatmeal could work for him. But I do hope that this salve works 😊
Emily Knetzer yes yes yes. Essential oils with fragrance are volatile oils and skin irritants. Just because its natural doesn’t mean its good for ya!
I'd first clear with a pediatrician anything suggested on the web.
When using essential oils it's a good idea to use it with a carrier oil like coconut oil or shea butter.
Laura, you just convinced me to pick up yet ANOTHER hobby! That was a beautiful packaging as well. 😊😊
Little buddy is getting so big! Makes me miss being a nanny. I love watching them learn and grow.
I love these kinds of videos peppered in between your other gardening ones! It shows how you can use some of the stuff you are teaching us to grow!
My Grandma used to make this and it's wonderful! Thank you so much for showing it. Would love to see more things like this ...can you pick your Mom's brain and ask her if she will share? You're amazing and appreciated!
That’s sweet baby is so funny and he still couldn’t find his dad I just love y’all so much I have been watching y’all channel for 5y Now and y’all are the ones that I look for everyday before I watch anyone else I just love how y’all are as a family making things work and how you and Erin Cut up And smile at each other even though we can’t see what he is doing
Love Y’all
Thanks for all y’all do for us

Loved this! I really like naturally-sourced beneficial products like this. Now I need to grow some calendula. Thank you, Laura! Your mom must be so happy with her gifted salve, and how you absorbed the knowledge she imparted during your youth. She is a wise woman! By the way, the ring you were wearing in this video is beautiful.
Your mom will be so proud! I am totally into this kind of thing. Thank you for sharing, Laura!!!
I love gardening especially gardening like this! i am getting into making products from the flowers in my garden, it's so much fun, makes me feel all witchy x
I've made a version of this recently myself and love it. I have worked with herbs for years and have always been happy with the results. My salve has a few more ingredients- I used both grape seed and apricot kernel oil to infuse my calendula, which worked nicely. I then mixed the oil with beeswax, as you did, but only a little as beeswax is so very hard. I also melted in some cocoa-butter and organic grass fed beef tallow (really). The beef tallow has a tiny odor so I used ylang ylang essential oil which made it smell heavenly. The tallow is worth the little bit of aroma because it is very rich and moisturizing. The result is the richest, most wonderfully hydrating salve you can imagine, and a little goes a very long way.
I’d LOVE to see more videos like this! Especially with all the lavender you grow! 😍
Feels so nostalgic watching the process and love for nature and learning. This is the life I learn so much.
I love this project! Please do more videos on using herbs and flowers in this way. The packaging is so cute. Thank you for sharing.
Laura, it only took me three years, but I finally made my first salve! I saw this when you aired this vlog in 2020. I first had to learn to grow calendula, then how to grow a lot of it. This spring of 2023 had the best growing conditions and, finally, I’ve succeeded. Thanks for your inspiration!
What a great video Laura! It warms my heart to hear you talk about a memory with your Mom! You two have a wonderful relationship. I waited right to the very end, I always do, I was hoping you would show yourself presenting your thoughtful little gift to your Mom! Love everything you guys do here!
You are reading my mind! I was just thinking of salve and I was needing some pointers about raised beds. Your channel rocks! Thank you for your service to us all.
Hi Laura x Loved your video. I grow Calendula officinalis and harvest the flowers as they grow. I dry them on top of my Aga hotplate cover and store the petals in small glass jars. I add a teaspoon of dried petals to a cup of boiling water to make an infusion or ‘tea’. When it has cooled, I pour the liquid through a strainer. I soak small cotton wool balls in the liquid and apply to ‘hay-fever’ eyes.
An ancient medieval recipe that really works. Xx
I went out and cut the flowers off my plants to dry. Can"t wait to try making this salve. Thank you for the recipe.
This was a great video and I really appreciate that the content was different. How awesome that you can grow a flower and then make something so amazing out of it. How amazing that your mom was into all of that herbal stuff, and how amazing that it brings back those memories when you were a kid and how now you love those things, cause when we are kids we are never as appreciative as when we get older. Your Mom is so amazing and I love when you share things with her. Thanks again, stay safe and I will see you soon, XOXO, bye for now.
I love the videos where you use the stuff you have grown. Please keep them coming.
So glad you demonstrated this process. I "amped-up" my calendula crop as well with Oopsie-Daisy and Kaleidoscope mix from seed. It's so easy to grow and I plan to make salve with the addition of Lavender essential oil from my farm. Thanks Laura!
I love the extra little videos. Going to share this with my daughter because I can totally see her doing this. Thank you Laura
Thank you! I love herbal stuff. Holistic ways with less chemicals. Hope to see more videos
Oh my goodness, I love this!! Yes! Yes! Yes! Please do more of this kind of thing! Would love if your mom would share more of her knowledge too! I’ve been making candles, soaps, lotions and potions for about 25 years! I love learning about what we can make just using nature!
oh boy!! this is right up my alley!! been wanting make things like this forever, so my brain is on fire now with ideas, lol... can't wait to try this!!! how fun! and the color of that salve is soooo pretty!!! let us know how it works!! and YES to the idea of having your mom do some videos on her herbal recipes!!!
Thank you, I just love this! I am going to start by growing the plant! I am 70, I could really use this cream! You are amazing! Love you and your channel, please stay safe and healthy. God bless you and your family❣️
Thanks, Laura! I grew calendula from seed for the first time last year expressly for this purpose. I never made my salve because I didn’t want to go back online and look for a tutorial.🙄 Lazy! So, really, thanks for this!😘 They came out beautifully.💗
I made some in February from calendulas that I grew. I made almost the same recipe, except I put a few drops of vitamin e oil as a preservative. The salve is divine! Always love your videos!
Nice, coffee with Laura and some wonderful homemade salve!!! I love the fact that this is something we could do at the Child Development center and the children would love being involved in it! Also I can do this at home as there doesn't need to be a large growing space for plants!! I live in an apartment and the dirt around my area is full of rocks and not good for growing so I am trying more containers this year and I think this will do great! Love Benjamin there saying " hey where's daddy" he is so sweet, hope this salve works for is face as well as your hands!
I just went and looked in my seed packs and found I had some of these seeds. I'm going to grow them. Thanks! I learn so much from you. Thank you so much!!
This is the kind of stuff I love! Thank you for sharing Laura 💜🌷
How wonderful!! I just transplanted my calendula started from seed. I’m so eager to watch them grow and benefit the garden! Thank you for the great video!
I use to own a candle business....To keep the the aroma vivid , add the fragrance in once you remove from heat . At the cool down temp of about 110-120 . Bees wax , paraffin and soy have different melt points . Fragrance oils have flash points as well . Best to add when below the melt point temp . Those look amazing . I’ll have to try this as well .
I agree with everyone else. I would actually love to see more videos like this on how you can make things. I love seeing you cook from your garden, so seeing how you make salves, jams, or anything else food or medicinal would be really awesome.
Laura, I absolutely love to learn about herbal remedies!!! Especially from things I've grown in my own garden or harvested from the forest nearby. And I did not realize making the infused calendula oil was so easy. I am so growing some this year. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video!!!
I can't believe I missed this oneI started a bunch of Calendula growing this year so i can make this! So glad you made the video! I have always bought from a lady at our local farmers market and it works so well!
What a nice change of pace learning video! I love learning all aspects of gardening. Thanks Laura.
The joy to create stuff by using what grows in your garden. 💚
Absolutely LOOOOOVE this!
I loved the one you did with your peach spearmint tea you did with the mint you have in your yard too!
Love seeing things we can do with things we can grow ourselves!!!
Thank you for being so clear for first timers like me. I plan on making them to gift around the holidays.
I love this video (and all your videos)! I love that your cut flower garden can put a smile on someone’s face with a beautiful bouquet, your fruits and vegetables can help feed your family and friends, your gorgeous landscape designs can feed the soul, and now you can use your plants to make a health benefiting salve that can “cures what ails ya”. Keep the videos coming!
Your mom is a wise women. good video.
You are truly the most inspiring innovative TH-camr ever ever
Love learning about useful things to do with plants!! Please more videos like this 👍🏼👍🏼
You are my favorite. You so much joy and life to all of us. Thank you and God bless.
I knew I loved your mum and do even more now. Please do more videos.
I love videos like this! It's great to see ways to use what we're growing in the garden to make new things...especially when they can be gifted. Would love to see more herbal concoctions. Thanks, Laura!
I love all your videos! You cover all the really good areas of growing, propagating, maintenance, recipes! I love them and love you for all the knowledge you share to everyone! Thank you so much!
Love these diy with homegrown ingrediants! More please!!!!😍😍😍
My extremely sensitive skin has reacted to everything my whole life (even shampoos and toothpaste!) It tolerates sweet almond oil best. I use Vanicream moisturizing skin cream for my face and body lotion and Vanicream gentle facial cleanser for my body wash in the shower. Hope they can help Mr B. and that he grows out of it!
Critter Girl Yes that’s the base I use as well. Sweet almond oil is the best.
Talk about timely! With all the alcohol based hand sanitizer everyone is using we can sure use this salve. Helpful and interesting vlog today! Thank you.
It’s beautiful to see what you can do out of your garden 🤗
Laura I totally concur with other commenters about you doing some herbal recipes with your sweet mom! I am so excited to make the Calendula Salve!!!!!! 🌞🌸
Love this! I need it. My hands are so dry and nothing seems to help. Going to grow some of these this summer. Thank You for teaching us how to make. Would love to see a video of your Mom’s favorite fixes with natural things.
Thank you! I definitely want to grow more Calendula and try this. I would like to see more videos like this. How about Elderberry syrup. Maybe your Mom could be a guest??? Keep up the great work!
I've been using homemade beeswax & olive oil salve for years for eczema, can't wait to try adding some Calendula now! 😊
Hi Laura, I absolutely adore your vlog! I remember why is you asking if we thought your mom should start blogging and all of a sudden it hit made that she should do something like this you know because I would love to know more about herbs and what to do with them and how to make a lotions and healing salves, anyting medicinal, candles etc... Of course I would absolutely love to see you do that also or the both of you together because I think your mom is a wonderfully sweet lady and very knowledgeable and I just adore both of you and let's not forget are named Benjamin also! Anywho just a thought. God bless all of you guys!
Love this!!! It's so nice to have something that has 4 ingredients and you can pronounce all of them - and I'm a chemist!! I am going to grow some Calendula this year and try making this.
I have been making this for a year now, my husband swears by it and now my mama😁 just started growing it this year, amazing!!!
Thank you for the video. You inspired me to make other type of salve out of things in my garden! I have a huge orange tree and I hated to throw away so much orange peels. Now I know what to do with them. I can imagine you open an herbal salve product line soon! People would love your trustworthy products out of your garden!!!
I can't wait to try this, my skin is so dry and I love using things without all the chemicals. Wouldn't this be a great Christmas or Holiday gift and how special that you grew it in your garden. Would love more ideas like these. Have you ever made flavored vinegars or oils with things in the garden? 💚💚💚
Love all of your videos.
These instructive ones on different ways to use the plants are so helpful and such fun!! Thanks!!😃
This was great! You should do a series with your mom on more products like this.
I have made this with lavender and chamomile and added vitamin e. So wonderful. I kept in a jar in fridge.
I made a gardener salve, very similar to this without the flower and it is amazing now that we are washing our hands so much!
Love it! You should definitely do an apothecary type series. I think it's perfectly appropriate for your channel because it involves growing some of the ingredients. I actually want a medicinal/tea herb garden someday that grows ingredients that allows me to make stuff like this or tasty teas.
I really have enjoyed this video, and a good use of herbs. More videos like this please!
Please make more of these!!! Would love to learn more about how I can make home remedies and different DIYs from my plants!
Just bought some calendula right after watching this video! So excited and can’t wait to make this. 😄 Thanks for inspiring me once again, Laura! 💕
Wonderful Laura!!! I grew Calendula for the first time last year and what gorgeous flowers that lasted way into winter. This year I'll save some for this project. Sweet ♥
Banjamin. So cute. He stealed the show.... I like this video. I'll have to grow this plant in my yard and try your recipe. Thanks Laura! 😏
Every time your videos pop up I say “oh my friend” 🤣🤣🤣 Such a weirdo! 🤪 I need to grow calendula this year!! I’ve heard of so many great uses for this stuff! Plus they’re gorgeous!
Gardening From Scratch me as well
Gardening From Scratch My friend and I refer to her as “our friend Laura” 🤣
Haha - if calling Laura your friend makes you a weirdo then I am too! 😂 Love how personal your videos are Laura as you all make us feel like we’re friends!
When talking about garden answer I always say” My friend Laura” it always brings laughs from my 2 teenage granddaughters, I can’t wait to meet her and I have put a visit to her garden on my bucket list! ❤️her ❤️her vlogs 🌸🌼🥕🌺🍆
@@kativy8287 At our house we refer to her as Russel’s mom and my husband knows just what we’re talking about! 😛
Your mom sounds like a treasure for your family. :)
Wishes to know how well the salve works for your family and friends. I would like to make some too. Thank you so much!
If you add coconut oil you’ll have lip balm and if you just put the infused oil into a spray bottle you have body oil for after the shower. Works great. Thank you!!
L♡VE 🌼
Tell your mom she rocks... Isn't it cool remembering & Loving something that your mom did that you kind of made fun of as a kid...
This was Fabulous
I have a candle business for over 20 years using beeswax and also have sold Bottled up Essential Oils that I use in my homemade Soaps and lotions ect... BUT I have never thought OR knew how to do this. Thank You So Much
One of the greatest little projects
thanks again Laura always surprising me every day..
Enlightening & Brightening my Day
🌿🌼🌿
Ps. And I was just trying to remember what plant you said distracted aphids
Lisa, do you sell & ship your products? I’d be interested.
@@amywiseman3246
Where are you located I usually don't ship because I have trade shows but no trade shows now unfortunately I'm not very Tech savvy and do not have a website Let me know what you are intrested in essential oils or candles
Would love to see more DIY recipes we can use our herbs and flowers for , in making creams and salve !!
Thanks for this recipe , i will make this for sure . I love using natural things on my skin !!!
I love these type videos. Would like to see more videos on uses for dried herbs and flowers grown in your garden.
I have used Calendula Salve before from the Farms Market and it does work well. Great now for washing hands all the time, mine get dried out a lot. Show a video of your mother getting hers that would be nice. One thing to use your new flower garden for, good job. You had a person asking about Elderberry bush and we have a Elderberry farm here that makes wine and cough syrup with it, and more. Bought a book many years ago with a friend on Herbs and flower for use and to make things with them. She has done far more then I, she is a science teacher high school and college level, but I'm catching up now. Thanks for the links on Beeswax we used a lot of it and 1oz. would be great, better then shaving it out and measuring it. Stay safe and garden on
Some how i missed this video when it came out, but im here now! So cute when Ben couldn't see Aaron in the trees "wheres daddy" as he keeps looking around.
My mom used to do things like boil Sassafras tree bark or roots and make tea, and various things like that and this video made my heart smile thinking about her.
I’m going to get everything so that I can help my aging skin. I have eczema so I’m excited to try it on Poot skin. Anything organic has to be better than all those chemicals pharmaceuticals use to make remedies. You and your Mom are amazing !!!
Cannot wait to grow calendula this year. Calendula salve is $8.95 at our local store. Their ingredients were calendula, olive oil, beeswax and Vitamin E in little tiny jars. I like the tins you used and the addition of lavender extract probably makes it smell amazing! God bless you Laura. You give so much information to help us!!
Thanks Laura! I grew some calendula this summer specifically for this project! I love the calendula in the garden too so bonus!
Totally useful! Plus I love how you flow with the making of it. Thanks🌻
