In true Laura fashion, she made something beautiful out of nothing! So impressed! That flower shed is a dream ✨
Hello Nadia👋
Such a dream!!
Something out of nothing.? Just thousands of pounds worth of plants
Laura has many virtues.
.but over spending money is a problem
@@jacquelinewhittaker4651 statices grown from seed in her own garden, drying rack homemade from branches on her own property and how would you know if she overspends, I very much doubt it. Why come here if you are not a fan only to spew negativity. Jealous much?
Laura ... Consider A ' Blanket Ladder ' In Black, To Compliment The Beautiful Hardware On The Hutch.
Had a bit of a moment these were one of my mum's favourite flowers cos they beautiful fresh and dried. I remember sitting with her whilst she made a wreath and being entranced.
I was 6 she passed a year later.
I think next year I shall grow a patch
@allison groves ~ My heart breaks for you, reading that you lost your Mother, at the age of 7.😢😭😭 I can't even fathom how many gatherings, life events, etc were so lonely, for you, without her. I hope that you had a "substitute" Mother in your life. GREATTT BIGGG HUGS 🫂
Many blessings on your flower patch and your day, sweet friend xx
@@kimberleyfrasquillo3684 family is not just a physical thing for me and my family, it's the memories and stories that you take along with you.
I was fortunate at the time to have a dad who understood the task and stepped up.
And a community who also helped guide and nurture my sister and I.
But my favourite thing I remember of mums, as a professional horticulturist
'Life is like a garden with lots of different flowers and plants. Our family, come from one set but we grew and changed, we took cuttings and we cross pollinate and every time there is a new plant it's a bit stronger, less likely to get hit by pests and disease. But always a improvement on the parent plant.
Yeah at 6-7 I never understood a word!!! Lady chatting gobbledygook!
Ohh how time changes things.
Thank you for your kindness ☺️
Good for you!
@@allisong6 ~ I love your positive outlook, regarding such a horrific life event for you, your sister and Father. I am very very happy to hear that your Father and Community stepped up for you and your sister. I hope your sister adapted as well as you have.
As a 6-7 year old, that would be gobbledygook. As a 62 year old 🙋🏼♀️, I absolutely LOVE those words. Family roots do grow deep and spread.
Have a Blessed day, Allison!
A quilt show!? Would love that! Have u ever done a house tour??? Would love to see the way you decorate I'm sure it's beautiful.
Years ago I had a dried flower shop and dried flowers went out of style. I am so glad that they are back!! I still have so much of my things in storage. Baskets, wreath forms and such. You have inspired me to get back at it and make things for at least friends and family. 😊
I have always loved dried flowers and have several books about them from the 80's and such. Love them and thrilled that they're returning to greater public notice. I have bunches of white and mandarin orange gomphrena & copper red strawflowers hanging to dry. Cannot wait to use them in a wreath or something. Oh, one of my favorite books is 'The Book of Pressed Flowers, A Complete Guide to Pressing, Drying and Arranging' by Penny Black, 1988 edition. So inspiring.
Hello ladies👋
Photos, please
@@choctaw5050 ???
Ohhh were you talking to me??
Yes agree. You need a drying rack on the other side. What's better then one beautiful thing; two beautiful things.
My favorite shots in each video are when Laura smiles as she is working. She makes everything look effortless and like its not 100 degrees out. This was a lovely project.
I love seeing ya’ll scoot around on your little gator. I can just imagine Benjamin driving it one day. I love the new flower shed. I really enjoy seeing all the arrangements you put together.
Kudos to Aaron for his video editing. Great job guy!
The kids fort in the woods will be a wonderful space for their imagination to soar.
Love the music! It’s like a Nancy Meyer movie!😊
Gorgeous!!! Absolutely lovely drying rack! Yes, do another one on the other wall!😀💐
Laura: ".... Magical Fort Area!..."
Aaron:..... heads right in!!!
Love, love, love you doing these projects. That’s what got me hooked into your channel. Was great fun to see you guys out tramping and discovering in your new property too - you’re so real, natural and down to earth and I smiled lots. Off to re-watch. Thank you!
Couldnt agree more… very real!
I totally agree! I love watching Laura’s brain work!
Hey Joanne👋
Love watching your videos. Have learned a ton! Thank you.!!!! One request can you get better background music? It is torture. Silence is better lol. Do what you want but just a thought.
Benjamin!🥰 Your little hang out buddy, Laura. Helping mommy!😂🤣. So cute!🤭💕
Good morning, Laura ☕️ What a fun, gorgeous project! That land is huge! You could “rent” goats and they would eat all the scrubby brush 😂 Those wreaths are going to be gorgeous 😍 and, your mom is so good at wreath making so, perfect partner! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Sheep too!
And the kids would love that 🐑🐐❤️
I don't think it is fenced.
@@donnalovintexas8760 you can put temporary fencing in pretty cheaply and a lot of the rental places will put the temporary fencing up themselves.
@@Kylee_Meera I did not know a rental company would do that. I know about Premier 1 fencing with the solar box to keep livestock in the fencing. I didn't think Laura would spend a few hundred dollars for a temporary fence she may never use again. I know goats won't cross the water side but not sure about sheep.
And it was Free!
Great project. So cute!
Hello 👋 Carol, how are you doing? I hope you’re having a fantastic day ?
I absolutely love the natural wood rack with jute and the hanging flowers are prettier than a picture on the wall! I truely enjoyed this entire video seeing you foraging around your new land and talking of future plans for the hidden magical area for the children! I always enjoy your videos but this one especially inspired me! Thank you for sharing your escapades. I hope you do the one with your mom that you spoke of in this video.
❤️I was honored to be asked to make heart shaped ❤️wreathes from my daughter in laws statice garden , for my son’s wedding! So easy to form because of the gentle arching curve of the blooms. ❤️
Oh Laura what a gentleman Aaron is coming to help you get those branches. Wow and your flower drying rack turned out perfect! Oh and the flowers hung on it way better than hanging a picture. I agree with you.
In a flash, all my Girl Scout skills came back. Trail blazing in the wilderness and lashing branches to make tables and hanging storage for campsite! Fun, fun....
I really, really enjoyed this so much! You made the drying frame so pretty and of course the flowers are beautiful! I love your gorgeous land there! I’m glad you are planning play areas in the edge of the trees for your kids to play. They will love that! My cousins and I had an area similar to that where we caught frogs, had pet rabbits, kittens, and the most wonderful time. I easily imagine times like that for your children in your beautiful area! 🌱🌸🌿
It was fun getting to see the Wild area in “the back 40”! That flower drying wrack turned out so nice! Looks really good! And may I say, I am a fan of the natural wood color of the walls in the shed. I can see that a “white wash” finish would look good, too. 💚💚💚
Hello Larae👋
YES, sooooo cute!!! Everything you and Aaron touch turns to gold!! 😍😍
Laura I love you for so many things but the one I love you most for is that your My Garden Answer LADY MacGYVER!! I love that quality about YOU!✨🤍
I love the rack! Yes, a few more in there would be so cute and the contrast of the rustic racks with the crystal chandelier is perfect! Can’t wait to see some lavender hanging from them!
We need a Two thumbs up selection! Looks great!
Thank you Laura for such an awesome video, as you would say . Your enthusiasm is beautiful.Keep up your great work dear Laura , what you do is wonderful.💕
Holy moly who knew a flower shed could be so beautiful?! Love your talent, ideas, tips and shares Laura and Arron.
I hope you realized before you installed them that you have the toggles threaded upside down. When they are inside the wall you want the flat side against the backside of the drywall.
I wondered about that!!
It's great that you have a wild naturaly grown area that all of you can explore and have unbridled fun in. :-) You can go "woodsying " in your own back yard. I love that "natural" drying rack.
Does anyone else think after watching Laura harvest the flowers that it sure would be nice to have background music while we do our gardening. I know Laura doesn’t but her video makes it seem so enjoyable as if she did.
Hello 👋 Mary, how are you doing? I hope you’re having a fantastic day ?
8:25 Was I the only one who got excited for a second, thinking the grass had already sprouted in the orchard? 🤣🤣😅
I love the color of the indoors of the shed. Wonderful to see your project.
Hello 👋 Anna, how are you doing? I hope you’re having a fantastic day ?
I totally can see myself as a kid exploring the wild area on the new property. So cool you have a walnut tree!
I love this. I like using found things to make something natural and very special. Next year I need to plant statice. I planted straw flowers for the first time ever this year, thanks to you. I have them drying in my utility room. Not as pretty as the Cut Flower Shed but I’m hoping to use them in a wreath for fall. I love your enthusiasm and energy. You are amazing. 🥰
Loved this, Laura... The statice are beautiful. We had statice bushes when we lived in SLO , Ca., But they ( the bush type, that is don't do good up over the Grade here in high desert where we live now in Atascadero, Ca.) You know where to find your kids from now on......they will always want to be "down by the river" ....our daughter went with another girl and a boy "up into the foothills in SLO, CA. from their elementary school instead of coming home when school was over or was it at recess? This was 46 years ago ... What the kids didn't know was that wild boar roam those hills the teachers couldn't leave and the police and CHP and parents were out looking for those kids. Finally they found them before dark...right at dusk, I believe . They of course couldn't understand what all the fuss was about .. .
Love the inexpensive projects - fits my budget and uses creative ideas. Can't wait to see the wreaths.
Loved seeing you guys out on the edge of your property in the walnut tree haha!
The drying rack is perfect, romancing the ordinary and creating art from function - love it!
I have to say, I love the natural wood on the walls! And with your teaser, I can’t wait for further flower shed videos-wreath making with Mom, dried flower hanging, etc. Let’s get this party started!
5:16 Laura, I don't have moles, gophers or other pest problems, but I have a dwarf red rabbit pet named Ji-Hop and he eats all the plants in my backyard except for my aloe plants, the other day he ate all the leaves on my new sage plants I just planted and all my dwarf dahlia seedlings I planted weaks ago and were growing beautifully in a stone raised bed I made recently, I love him but he is an unstoppable and grumpy gobbler that jumps or digs under any obstacle that I put to him and sooner or later finds the way to my plants; when he was a cub he bit the trunk of a young moringa tree that was already quite tall and the tree fell under its weight but first he eated up my granny smith apple seedlings I planted and had 6-8 in tall. I love-hate my little grumpy destroyer. LOL
Beautiful! Yes. Get Mom involved : )
Your drying rack is so perfect in that spot. When you and your mom make the dry wreaths a large one would be beautiful on your back wall of the cutting shed.
LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!!
What a cool project! And I love the back of the new property! Only thing I could think of was Aaron in shorts and chiggers!!!
And I thought of snakes!
@@lindalittrell3592 Laura has mentioned they do not have snakes to worry about..but skunks yikes.
I kept thinking of ticks!
@jess ~ OMGEEEEEE, chiggers are THE WORST!!!!!🤪🤪🤪😭😭
I experienced them, for the first and hopefully only time, when I went to visit family in Texas.... 😱🤯👹🙅🏼♀️ They are Demon 👹 Spawn.... I hope you don't have to deal with them.🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
'Mornin' from northern Ohio. Enjoyed your project today. Reminds me of doing the same thing in an old barn 40 years ago. You brought back warm memories for me. FYI - I really like the natural wood siding in your flower shed. Hoping you don't paint over it !( It doesn't come across as orange at all). Gives a warm feel to your space.
@genny chapn, Northeastern OH (Painesville) born gal here.🙋🏼♀️ What town are you in?
I loved Ohio when I was growing up, as it has 4 seasons. Moved to Arizona, at 21, to be with my parents and 3 brothers, whom all had moved there when I was 18 and got married.
Experiencing an Arizona Winter, made me realize that I didn't like the snow, as an adult. 😉🤪🥶☃️⛄️
@@kimberleyfrasquillo3684 Grew up in Sandusky, now live in Bowling Green.
Gardener from Parma OH here!
Drying flowers that we use for art and crafts and to decorate gifts with is a fun activity I do with my 9 year old.
LOVE the rustic with the elegant and making things out of what you have!! That's how I roll as well!!
♥️♥️♥️ Wait.... What???? Did anyone else hear skunks live back here and secret fort for the kids in the same video?? 😳 😊 The new property looks like a wonderful new adventure! I'm on team "don't paint the walls in the flower shed"! Another wonderfully inspiring video!! ♥️♥️♥️
Bundling stems for drying with rubber bands works very well. As the stems dry they shrink and the rubber bands will hold.
Hi Laura, cute idea you could also hang an old ladder from the ceiling plus you can sit baskets on top of the ladder for more storage . Love all you do, love the calm your videos bring to this hectic world. 😊❤
I am always drying my roses!
Yes, that is so pretty
I think in the middle between the cabinets you should do just a long branch. Not a ladder, just 1 branch and hang lavender and some antique garden tools from it. It would be such a pretty backdrop.
Turned out soo cute!! The kids are going to love that new property!! Great job again, love all your projects!!
Skunks 🦨 who’d have thought? I kept thinking snakes! Lovin’ the simplicity of the handmade rack!
Hi Laura! The drying rack turned out really nice. I agree that you need one on the other side, too. One between the hutches would look good, too. I hope your Mom can help make the wreaths. It's always fun seeing her in videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
6:50 Laura, I was thinking that! A magical forest fort area and some tiny wood furniture, a little house, Oh my would be perfect!
Me (a beginner gardener) after watching this video:
I think I need a flower shed so I can have a tree-branch rack hanging from the ceiling to dry flowers...
Seriously you have been such an inspiration despite this heat spell we are going through that has taken many of my plants you give me the energy I need to get up and maintain my garden and keep it pretty, thank you so much 😊 I have learned so much from you guys
Love the rustic branch flower rack. Very unique and sturdy .
It's beautiful Laura!! Love when you create your magic!
You can always use chain to adjust your shelf!
Oh my yes!! Do two more...I can see dried roses, cone flower heads etc....nice job!
‘Don’t want to go in there as there might be skunks’. ‘Hey Aaron this would be a great place for the kids to have a fort’. Hahaha.
Two drying racks are a good idea!
You go crafty girl😉
I love your flower shed. I am so jealous! What about doing a flower art gallery wall between your hutches. Maybe a road trip to Boise for some vintage floral prints and paintings!
Love, love, love your flower shed.
Those drying hangers are ingenious but add color and beauty to your space.
Can't wait to see the Static wreaths as you make such beautiful wreaths.
Take care......missed seeing the cats today.
Yes excited to see your mom doing projects with you.
This was a mindfully filmed and concisely edited integrated Project - from inception to completion ... including directions and corrections! That you've been consistently remarkable and genuinely humble is a gift you give to us all each morning. You are, indeed, a true joy, Laura ... and an integral part of a rather exceptional team!!!
you've an almond tree growing in your property that you didn't know about...how cool is that😊
So darn cute!!! I love your drying rack!! The dried flowers are wonderful!!
SO MUCH FUN !!! As soon as I saw you looking down at the creek, I knew the "littles" would have a ball. I remember us damming up the creek at our summer cabin and making boats out of twigs and playing for hours. Thank you and Aaron for sharing ♥
Can't wait to see how the wreaths turn out!!! Love the drying rack you built, it turned out perfectly! I'm glad you mentioned how easy it was to grow from seed. I've been hesitant to try it, but not anymore! Those bunches are just gorgeous!!! ;)
I always use rubber bands to bind my flower stems together. They shrink as they dry. The statise is beautiful.
Hello 👋 Shelley, how was your day? I hope you had a fantastic day ?
This was so fun to watch! Love how you use what you have and make it work!
Ur voice and content bring me peace! 💛 (Sorry if that sounds weird)
So FUN!!! I wouldn't touch it! Leave it right there! It's absolutely perfect 🥰. You're right, that's what a garden shed should look like. At least in my mind! That would probably be really fun for your Mom if she's up to it to make wreaths!
Hello 👋 Kayla, how are you doing? I hope you’re having a fantastic day ?
@@bryanbogart4898 Reported
What a bountiful harvest, the gator is overflowing! The drying rack came out spectacular! It definitely looks as though it belongs there - I hope you make more!!👍👏💃
I enjoy watching your channel. It brings relief and comfort. Your voice is very soothing. I love everything that you do and all the amazing things that you do around the holidays. Thank you for having your TH-cam channel up. You mean a lot to all of us here in the community.
Laura you are so creative! This is beautiful! I love the rustic look! I think even hanging herbs from a trellis like that too. Love it!!!
Beautiful colors 🌸 Good morning ! 🤍🙏🏻🤍 it’s going to be fun to see what you do with the new land too.
Wow!!!! SO SUPER COOL!!! I LOVE STATICE IT WAS PART OF MY WEDDING BOUQUET!!!!! Beautiful Job Laura!!!!
Yep, you need 2 more racks!!! 1 in the middle & another on the opposite end!!! 💕
Hello 👋 Sandy, how was your day? I hope you had a amazing day ?
I love and and all GA videos but this was especially fun! Going into the new property and seeing something new and different was just so nice! Even though it was short it felt like going on an adventure with Laura haha so fun! We even discovered there is a walnut tree together! How fun!! And I love hearing all the fun facts like about the skunks and he horses and the dich... I hope to see more exploring of the new property haha! Also that end result looks SOO good! I agree, you should have one on each side and in the back of the shed!! Incredible how creative and clever you are! ❤💚💜
Romancing the ordinary! Looks beautiful!!!
Good job Laura and Aaron!
You're going to have so much fun drying flowers, the rack looks so pretty. You always end up with such fantastic wreaths for your house and for gifts.
That's not far from the truth!
Perfect timing and what a fun decoration for the end of summer.
I agree with that!
Laura, Amazing what nature brings us. Dried flowers are nice.
Beautiful! In the middle you could have multiple hangers, upper one hanging from the ceiling & lower ones hanging from each other.😁
Hello 👋 Sandie, how was your day? I hope you had a fantastic day ?
Great! Now I’ve got another project to do! Haha!
Good morning Laura and Garden Answer followers! I'm going to say it again, this little flower shed, I could stay in there all day. And this has been so much inspiration for my little building (still in the planning phases), but will be my pottingshed, winter greenhouse, and flower shed. Mine will face south, but will have windows on three sides, North, East and South. Will be attached to my little log cabin. In my retirement, my office now. MY HAPPY PLACE. OK, I have had my inspiration, now into my gardens. All have a great day!!!
@Donna Courtney 🌼 ~ 🤗 Thank you, Donna! Good afternoon and Happy Friday to you. 👋
Hello Donna👋
Make a huge wreath to hang in the middle. Love it!
Greetings, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
Wow! Impressive drying rack 💪
Flora-life is what we used in our Flower Shop. And I always loved statice, even though it was considered a common filler only.
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾 👍
@Peggy Helbling's Garden What You've Got ~ Thank you! Happy gardening to you also.
@@kimberleyfrasquillo3684 Thanks Kimberly 😊 I appreciate your sweet words ❤️
So cute & creative Laura!!! I love it! 😊♥️
We all need to grow statice flowers 💐
Dreams do come true 💕🌷💕
I am so jealous. Haha. You are so talented. That is a wonderful and beautiful idea.
This was such a fun project to watch! Because of you, I am now making my own winter wreaths using pine cones, spruce branches and red berries from my own yard. Thank you!!
