- 🎄Hello 🎄and thank you for joining in on my little garden story,
I am decorating my porch with items I collected from my garden. Also have you ever heard of barge board? That is the decorative element I put around my porch. I sourced it from Terrain. Have you ever made cinnamon buns with potatoes? I made mine with the Yukon Gold potatoes I grew. Please join my Christmas Tea as I invite my niece Jenny to come over with her girls. I hope you get a chance to make the buns for your Christmas table. They are an old fashioned delicious treat.
Thank you so much for stopping by today and spending some time with me. I truly am so grateful for you time, your comments and your likes.

Merry Christmas to you! Thank you to all who have watched and commented this year. You have been a blessing to me. It has been fun finding like minded youtube friends who love the same little enjoyments of life that I do. I hope that your days are merry and bright. I hope that you get to spend time with your dear ones. May your days in the new year be filled with goodness. Most of all though, My hope for you is that you have the blessing of the Holy Night.
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family Gwen. I can see the family resemblance in your niece and those angelic girls!
I know this season will be difficult without your father, sending you the love of the holidays to surround you with memories of Christmas past. ❤🎄
So precious! The world needs more , a lot more of this !! ❤
I loved everything about this video from start to finish! The wreath and garlands were fabulous. Was so delightful to watch you plant the potatoes and prepare the wonderful rolls for the tea. The girls and kitties were adorable. Everything was fabulous. What wonderful memories you made. Thx for sharing this special time.
Thrilled to find this on Christmas Eve, thank you Gwen. Merry Christmas to you! ❤🎄
Such a beautiful video ...thank you!!! Merry Christmas ❤❤
Come and sit with me and share a pot of tiny tea🩷👑🫖☕️. So very precious🩷
Merry Christmas Sweet Sister in Christ♥️💚🤗🫖☕️🕊👑
Merry Christmas to you. This is my first time watching your channel. I’m a fan and will subscribe. I have to say that those babies are so beautiful. Your home and garden are very welcoming and warm and I thoroughly enjoyed this video❤️
Hello and welcome to the channel! Merry Christmas 🎄✨🎄
How special!!!!!❤
Beautiful, beautiful as always !!!! I love everything about it. Merry Christmas ❤️
Some of your best work! ❤
Goodnight Gwen, As you know I just discovered your channel in January 2024. Also, as you know, I have watched the first 17 of your videos 3 times. I mentioned to you before that I think this is one of the VERY best gardening channels out there. I like the fact that you do not speak much, as there is no need for your personal life to be on display. I have seen where you and I are truly kindred spirits in so much of what you do. (except for cooking😅). Would you believe it that the white linen blouse that you are wearing in episode 16, I have one just like it, that I bought about 3 years ago. Your videos are so calm and refreshing and I enjoy them thoroughly. I can't wait for spring to come for me to start working in my garden.
Hello dear friend, I just feel so humbled by your kind words and they just bring me so much joy. It has really been a surprise to me how I am connecting with so many like minded folks 🥰😘❤️🍃🥀🍃
Merry Christmas Gwen🎄Thanks for the lovely videos this past year, I have enjoyed each one! Wishing you a new year full of happiness ❤️
My first time to watch one of your videos. Enjoyed it completely. So pretty and restful. More of this is needed in our chaotic world. People have forgotten how to relax and enjoy the simple things. You have a new follower. ❤️❤️❤️
Hello and welcome to the channel. Thank you for the nice comment. Hope to see you back again soon! 🌱🌸🌱
The tea party with the children had me smiling such a gentle easy smile. I became totally absorbed in it. You have such a beautiful family.
Thank you so much for inviting us into your life!
(Y’all Don’t forget - When you pull green potatoes out of the ground, they are poisonous! Don’t eat them!)
🌿🎄🌿🎄🌿🎄
LOL! I planted those potatoes and never hilled them once or weeded them all summer long. So some of the potatoes were sticking out of the ground and got too much light. I literally had to mow down the weeds to find the potatoes. Yes everyone; please note green potatoes are not good to eat. Anyway we enjoyed the good ones and I hope to have NO green potatoes next year. 🙏🏼🌱
Love how you romanticize special moments ! Beautifully done 🙌
Thank you!! 😊🌱🌷🌷🌱
My dearest Aunt Gwen, I am RSVPing to your glorious invitation and my response is a most happy “YES, PLEASE and THANK YOU”. Lovingly yours from Lake Tahoe, your newly adopted niece, Marilyn Marie 💕🙏🥰🎄
😊🫖🌺

So beautiful! I can’t wait to try your recipe for cinnamon buns for Christmas morning!! 👩🏻🍳
I was so happy to see your lovely video. It has put me in the Christmas spirit. Magical and peaceful, your wreath and garland are just beautiful and all foraged from your garden! The ballet of the snail as you washed your potatoes was enchanting! Oh my those cinnamon buns look divine! Your little guests reminded me of an Eloise Wilken book I use to read my daughter when she was little. Merry Christmas Gwen ! My best friend as a child was named Gwen it’s a wonderful name. 🎄
Thank you for the lovely comment. Merry Christmas!
Wonderful video.......as I watch it I realize I love to do all those things you do, too. Gardening, tea, baking, animal life, even down to using sealing wax on special correspondence. All senses satisfied! Thanks for sharing and caring Gwen.........LOVE it!!!!! Joyous Season to you and yours.
There's so much to love here. The precious snail interlude really got me. And your gorgeous apron!
What an amazing home and property. Every scene exudes charm. Who knew watching someone plant potatoes could be so captivating! Seeing you making those cinnamon rolls, in your floral apron, in that amazing farmhouse kitchen had me swooning. Then I saw the red stove and copper pots!!!! And the sweetest ever tea, with those adorable little smiles. Loved it all. Will be back for more!!!! Thank you for starting my 2024 in such a cozy, warm way.
Thank you for such a dear comment. It makes me happy that you enjoyed the little story.

Welcome to the channel! So happy to have you join me in garden adventures. 🌱
Here it is August, 102° today and I'm watching your Christmas video! You make wreaths the same way I do! I have also made wreaths out of old barb wire using the same technique. Have 2 that I made of barb wire over 30 years ago. I change flowers etc. On them according to season. Both currently have Yellow Sunflowers, one includes birds & nest. Christmas, I put sprigs of cedar, pine with cones from my trees & holly (silk) with Maroon poinsettia sprigs purchased several years ago at Dollar Tree. Liked your brown bow on wreath! Gave me an idea to make a rustic looking one out of strips of burlap! Thanks for a most enjoyable & relaxing video on this very hot, dry & humid summer day here in Missouri! Enjoyed it very much, well done!!!!!
Hello, thank you for the nice comment. It means a lot to me. I love the barb wire wreath idea. Many years ago my father made me a crucifix out of barb wire and it is one of my most treasured possessions. I have a lot of barb wire along the fence rows of my farm I think I will gather it up and make a wreath and make a video of it. Thanks for the idea! Love it!
@@inthegardenwithgwen Your crucifix of barb wire sounds awesome! I would recommend you wear gloves when working with the barb wire, I started with 1 continuous piece making 3 or 4 coils as a base. I then cut the wire random lengths of 5 to 7 or 8 feet and intertwined/wrapped around just as making the vine wreaths. I even sometimes put old small white insulators & small old rusty wrenches, bolts, tools etc. on mine. Always love sharing ideas! Have an awesome day & good luck on making your wire wreath. Everyone loves mine!
Looks like heaven! ❤
Absolutely beautiful!!!😍
Those kids will never forget the memory. You're a true earth angel
What a sweet tea with loved ones. So nice to see the little children’s smiles and your lovely decorating and yummy food!!
My first time watching. I enjoyed it 😄
Question? Where did you get your apron? It’s beautiful 😍
lol wish I could say I made it but I bought it from April Cornell. Once in a while I treat myself to one of their pretty aprons. Their prints are alway full of beautiful flowers. Hope you can buy yourself one for Christmas! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Your videos bring peace to my soul thank you so much for sharing watching from Africa Uganda
It makes me happy you can find a restful moment. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏾

Reminds me of mom writing letters in Christmas cards and mailing them off. Still can smell the paper and taste the glue on the envelopes. Thank you for jarring my brain back to those special memories. You are awesome
Yes it is funny how a simple thing like a card in the mail is so nostalgic. Thank you for the nice comment.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy your videos so very much! Your decorations are beautiful. The kittens are cute too, did you name them Dasher and Dancer?? 😁Enjoy your time with your family. Happiest of New year's. The days will be getting longer soon, then back to the gardens.
Oh Dasher and Dancer would have been great name ideas. My daughter named them Piper and Cessna because she worked at the little airport in our village. Merry Christmas!
Love the video, love the music. Please post musical selections for this video, and thank you for sharing this wonderful prep for a Christmas tea!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our slow home, just south of Buffalo. Wishing we had just a bit more white this season but grateful for your beautiful video.
Oh so happy to see someone from WNY! Wecome! I was missing a white Christmas too but was remembering last Christmas and all the snow so I made sure to be happy with what I had.😊
You are certainly right about that!

Thank you for the nice comment Linda.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Joyeux Noel! 🎄♥️🎄
What a lovely video 😊
I’ve now learnt how to make Christmas wreaths.😂
I’ve never known milk in the teapot with the tea though…here in the uk we make the tea in the pot then when it’s brewed we then add the milk xx
Hello, so excited to have a comment from the UK! ❤️🇬🇧❤️ in the States we call the tea with milk Chia tea. I think it is inspired by the tea they make in India where you heat milk, tea, sugar and spices.
@@inthegardenwithgwen oh I see,don’t think I’d fancy hot milk in tea either 😂
Definitely in instant coffee though….i love hearing how different countries do things xx
Hello, beautiful👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Спасибо за прекрасное и доброе видео
Oh hell no to the cats destroying furniture... nope, could never would never they'd be Christmas stew. 😂
LOL 🎄🐈⬛🎄
Happy New Year to Gwen from Gwen!❤
Same to you!
