    I worked at Taylor’s Garden Centre for most of my young life (Child Labour laws aside) and we would start making red bows in August!!! By December 15 we never wanted to see another red velvet bow in our lives! January was clearance, February was clean all greenhouses and every inch of sales space, and March began seed madness, followed by tree and shrub sales and annuals season began in earnest in May thru June and then July was the annual trip to Europe to pick out unusual and unique Christmas embellishments like a tour through Old World ornaments makers and then to Oberammergau to buy hand carved Nativity sets. It so much reminds me of y’all at Andrews Seed……..Laura got an early schooling in business and merchandising which has stood her well over the years. Combined with the eye of an artist, it makes you the Queen of the gardening industry and gives us nostalgia and knowledge and envy for your relentless pursuit of your goals!!! Love to all at Garden Answer and May each of you never lose your childlike joy for Christmas…….that’s what I’m here for!!!

    We took our to Boise for a college visit. My awesome husband took me to Andrew's Seed Co. yesterday! It was so much fun. I was greeted by Monica as I walked in. I bought the greenhouse ornament! Our son was so glad I didn't geek out as I was shopping! What a great store. Robin was my checkout lady and she was wonderful! So glad I can check off something from my bucket list. Merry Christmas!

    At the flower shop I work for, we offer workshops for flower arrangement designs. This month, we have 3 Christmas/ winter centerpiece classes we are doing. This week, at one of the classes, I mentioned to the "students" that a garden influencer that I follow recommends mayonnaise to help remove the pine pitch from your hands.♡ We had multiple women ask if we were talking about "Laura at Garden Answer" ❤ I said, "Of Course! She's the best!" Laura, there are GA fans that walk amongst us every day and I love it! You are a powerful yet humble influence on us all. Thank you for what you all do to educate and inspire so many people. Your mom's garland turned out stunning!♡

    I’m always so inspired by you and your family. You have such amazing parents and it’s so clear to see their inspiration on your life.
    On the 23rd of this month, it will be ten years since I lost my mom.
    Watching your relationship with your mom is so special. It makes me miss my mom.
    Thank you for sharing your life and family with us. I don’t think you’ll ever know what an impact you have on others.
    Almost every single day I share something that you said or did on the video that day. I no longer have to say Laura from Garden Answer, I just say Laura…
    The garland is beautiful. It looks so good on the banister.
    I do have a question, do you need to spray the garland with water, how long will it last?
    Have a great day!

Yesterday I talked to Monica on the phone and thought it was Susan 😀 and today I get to see her and Susan all together with Laura 😍 I love it! The renovation was a long, long process but it turned out so beautiful! Looking forward to see more ornaments Monica. I think that not year I have to start in the beginning of November so I enjoy the tree for my birthday as well and add a couple more in the mix. I have so many ornaments now😮 and I gave a few away. Oh well, I like them all. Thanks for your help Monica, I can't wait to see the surprise ornaments 😅. Hugs and love, Camelia ❤️🤗❤️ Have a blessed weekend 😘

    Thank you for these tutorials,Laura! We just put up our garland over our front door a couple days ago. We learned how to make it from you, and have this annual tradition to frame our entry. We put white lights, and leave it up through the winter. My husband forages the greens. Our base was yew from my son's hedge up the street. He asked us when we were coming to get greens, and we already did, so obviously his hedge is full. I filled our porch pots and window box as well. Your videos are both inspiring and helpful.

    Thank you for the refresh for my brain! I used to live in the Blue Mountains east of Walla Walla near Mill Creek, however now live in the Walla Walla Valley. I will be going to Klicker’s tomorrow to load up on fresh greens for making a large garland similar to yours, for our open dining room. So, thanks and now I’m excited! I feel like your instructions will help me so much. You must have a very generous supplier. All my greens will have been grown up by our cabin in which we used to permanently live on Klicker Mountain. I love all you and your sister and Mom create, plus your mom has taught you to be positive by her example! I have the plant business, Aunt Violet’s FINE PLANTS, which is mostly food plants, however we are on a pause while we heal from some surgeries. You’ve probably not heard of us, because we only sold at Walla Walla Downtown Market. Love all that you have taught me. You all are so amazing and sweet. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
