Friendship, Flowers, and Mothers Day: Our Greenhouse Restoration Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- My best friend Florian just returned from taking his exams in the south of France, and we decided to spend the day restoring the greenhouse. We had a lot of fun working together, and we were making good progress until we realized that it was Mother's Day! The shops were closed, so we had to improvise and make emergency bouquets from the flowers in the garden. It wasn't perfect, but Mom loved them anyway.
In this video, we share our story of friendship, flowers, and Mother's Day. We hope you enjoy watching our video and that it inspires you to get creative with your own gardening projects.
Filmed and Edited by Alex Fowkes.
I am a florist in America. And have been for 35 years. Watching the two of you gather and figure out the bouquets was adorable. I'm really glad to see Florian in front of the cameras. His sense of humor is great. You two have good banter.
So beautiful arrangements. Glad to see you Florian. And Michael !!!
You two are so funny. I love your humor. As a mom of 3 guys, your Mother's Day 💐 💐 are priceless. ❤
It's scripted
Omg! What kind of rose was the one that was as big as your head!
@luannski6895 No idea. i deal with commercially grown roses. Not the ones you grow in your yard.
The LaLande Gate. Best clip ever! Florian is the sweetest fella and Alex’s filming is great
Besides being a handsome guy, Florian is funny, kind and a great friend and helper for Michael. Way to go you two. Greenhouse will be epic !!
Oh my goodness, you two were the cutest boys ever. That's sweet that you thought to honor your mum on the French mummy's day. You boys picked some really great flowers, and you did a great job arranging them. I think them being left loose was better than tieing them up. I hope your mums loved them. I haven't seen the video yet where you gave them to her. I don't doubt that she loved them. Just knowing you hand picked them, and arranged them will mean ever so much to her. You're a wonderful son Michael! 💐💮🏵️🪷🌹🥀
I absolutely love the colors you chose for the cottage! You're doing a fabulous job, Michael, keep it up!
This was the funniest, most entertaining and sweetest video. The La Land doors was hilarious. Love that Florian is back and the new camera man did an excellent job!♥️🌸♥️
LOVE seeing Florian in FRONT of the camera! ❤️🙏
Don't we all 😜
Michael, it's good to have Florian back to the Château! The two of you work well together. Alex did a good job filming and editing, too. Things do not have to be purchased in a store to make them special. I am sure that both your mothers will appreciate the efforts you both made in creating the floral bouquets for Mother's Day.
Florian with the flower over his ear was just adorable!
He is adorable
Florian has the gift of beauty. I would let him break my heart. Pretty man put a flower in his hair.
Omg the La Lande gate was everything!!😆😆😆🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️
yep, loved it too
Yay! It’s Michael & Florian time .. 👏👏 🥰 Michael you’re a hoot 😆
Keep Florian in front of the camera, you two are magic together!
This was a superb vlog guys!! Michael and Florian - hilarious!! The Lalande gate had me in stitches! Vacuuming the garden- love it all! I’m a mom if 4 and I can tell you if any of my children made me bouquet like the ones y’all made, I would be thrilled. They were stunning! I cannot believe the flowers around the chateau. Simply gorgeous! Also, fantastic filming Alex!! Welcome aboard!
"Y'll" !!!! Hello neighbor. Near Columbia, SC, here. Imagine meeting in France....
Yes to Florian joining you in front of the camera! I must compliment him on his English which has improved greatly over the months. Love that you are restoring the greenhouse to it’s former glory, it will serve you well. Any Mum would be very happy to receive such a thoughtful and beautiful bouquet- well done gentlemen. Hello Alex, you did a great job! Thanks Michael🙏🏼❤️
Yeah! to Alex, the new cameraperson. 2 videos this week. Lovely to see you all and all those lovely flowers!
Michael, you have to bring Alex in front of the camera so that we can meet him.
I nearly spit my mango juice out when I saw you vacuuming the garden. Only you Michael…
So glad to see florin in front
Usually it's Michael.
Love the LaLande door & music!!!❤❤❤ Classy
Welcome back Florian! So good to see you! 😍
Michael its always great to see you...but mate...florian just steals the stage!..that beaming smile makes my day....of course...your smiles great too! 😊😊😊
I love Florin´s Humor and yes, it was time that he is more in front of the Camera.
You always light up when he is around, such a cute couple.
Personally, I would be beyond thrilled if either of my sons surprised me with their earnest flower gift! I would probably faint! What lovely flower bouquets!
I agree with you I would rather have something they made as to store bought any time.
Linda I hope their caring thoughts were transferred to you....I know it was precious for me to see their hearts go into the gesturexoxoox
Gathering and making the bouquets has much more meaning, you two made them with thoughtful love and care yourselves. What a precious Mother’s Day gift from you two! Way to go and very sweet!
“Doing it OURSELVES not myself.” Very smooth Michael.🇨🇦
Happy Moms Day Sherrie,Gwen and Florians Mom🎉 hope someone is cooking you an nice dinner.
Surely you are joking when you say you don't know how to arrange flowers! You both make gorgeous arrangements and both of your mothers will be so pleased. What an amazing collection of flowers you have available at the Chateau! My goodness, what a beautiful place.
Slowly slowly but taking shape. Be careful using any chemicals as they may pollute the ground which inevitably in turn hindering plants growing. Great to see Florian back to assist. ALEX XX
As a mother I can say that a bouquet picked and arranged by my son shows more heartfelt love. Well done Michael. I luv the acoustic accompaniment of the LaLande gate. ❤
Hilarious Michael with the door and bin music🤣 Nice to Florian back he well a good help for you . The flowers looked great you two Loved watching😘😘
Genius Michael at it again. ❤😂 Both your moms will be over the moon !! 🎉🎉❤
My goodness the cala lillies and the roses. To die for.
Love the LaLande gate!😂
Florien is comical lad! He & you are so much fun to listen to! Greenhouse is going to be a lovely surprise!
So funny the gate with the music! Michael you are missed! And doing something for your mums is great!
How delightful. Beautiful flowers, thoughtful sons. So nice to see you both smiling and being happy 😊😊😊❤
We love Florian too so happy to see moreof him.
Just wanted to mention how wonderful your opening to your vlog is.
Florian is definitely a diamond, as are you Michael! Thank you for another wonderful vlog!
Love a person who vacuums the garden path! Too funny but necessary!❤
GREAT JOB Michael and Florian!!!!. Your bouquets are beautiful !!! I'm sure your mom's loved them because their son's made them!!! How much fun would it be to get Ana out there to do give you a garden floral design lesson. But then again, I think you both of mastered it. You guys are hilarious. Enjoy being with your mom's.
Nice that Florian is back. You two are a good team❤❤❤. Welcome back Florian! Well done Michael! I admire your willingness to do it right!
Hi Michael, just wanted to let you know we miss you videos and you showing us around the chateau, hopefully soon we will be joining you again on your adventures
Well done with the bouquets, boys. I'll bet they will like them all the more, when they find out you made it yourselves! 💐💐
Great job Michael and Florian and love your humour....everyone should vacuum their garden! Love the flowers for your mothers....great video!! Thank you!
Beautiful bouquets! Great progress on the greenhouse! Love the musical Lalande gate! ❤️😊
Michael you're in top form! We love Florian in a supporting role! The mystery cameraman is doing a great job too! Those flowers look gooorgeous
I loved the La lande door!! You’re back at it again Michael! Beautiful flowers! ❤
All those flowers picked by you would make any Mom happy.
Micheal, all this extra time you are taking on the green house will be well worth it! I'm glad to see Florian again! Those are beautiful bouquets of flowers. I am sure both your mums will be well pleased.
The bouquets were beautiful. I’m so impressed with both of your sense of style. Hope the others loved them.
That was lovely Michael and Florian! I'm happy to see Florian back with you and being included in the videos now. Your new camera man is doing a good job!
Home made presents for Mother’s Day are the best.
Love the new video maker and editor’s style.
Alex your filming was great and Michael and Florian those bouquets are beautiful.
“I’m not a florist” he says. Proceeds to prove himself wrong. 🤣❤️
Glad to see you are back on form ,Micheal ,Cheers 👍
You did a beautiful flower arrangement, you're a natural Michael.😊
I cannot speak for your Mother Michael, but if someone gave me an opulent arrangement of flowers like that, I would be beyond thrilled! And it would be even better that you created the bouquet yourselves! Fabulous editing with the gate. Your film making is getting better and better! Thank you for the video!
Omg yay! Another video! The greenhouse is gonna look SOOOOOOOOOOO great when y’all finish it. Glad to see Florian back as well! Great job as always Michael. 🤍
They are living the life out there. I envy them for that. How much richly can a person live than this? They got a fairy tale home and tons of beautiful acres and trees.
@@jdos5643 I’m very, very happy for them!
I love the "Lalande gates" and the music. the color is nice! I know that your mom probably loves the garden arrangements better than the store bought ones! The chateau flowers are so gorgeous. Such a beautiful sunny day to smash the glass in the greenhouse. Glad you vacuumed the area..keep the dogs and other animals safe. Love this episode! Thanks for sharing!
Ahhh….adored this! The Lalande gate sequence and again later…..was priceless! Such clever editing. 👏👏 and your little quip to the camera about vacuuming the garden…. 😂 You’re a natural in front of the camera and your banter with Florian is adorable. So lovely to see him again. I’m sure your mothers were thrilled with the gorgeous bouquets! ❤
The bouquets are beautiful, fresh from the garden. Enjoy Mother's day. Your mom will appreciate the flowers from the gardens, more so, then store bought. 😊
I adore your intro Michael. The Blackbird flying away into the distance is awesome. Florian is such a great friend lending a hand with the greenhouse. I would be very happy getting flowers from you two. What a lovely display of Chateau flowers 💐 ❤
The bit with the Lalande gate was hilarious😂
I am sure your Mother's loved the flowers and you took your time to pick them out and make them. More special than a store bought bouquet.
Michael, this was delightful. You and Florian are great together. The greenhouse is going to look beautiful when finished.
The gathering of floral bits turned out to be wonderful bouquets. Both of your Mother will be so pleased.
Cheers
I think most of us have that disease, Michael. Every home improvement project you start just seems to expand as you go along!
I've been wondering about your greenhouse? Can't wait to see it finished! Love your videos Michael!
Great to see Florian in front of the camera..
Lovely yet again. Such relaxing viewing. Thank you. ...your flower arrangements were beautiful.
You guys are funny! That door scene was brilliant! Lovely to see Florien in front of the camera now that Alex is filming! Florien’s English is getting better all the time. What is he studying? work on the greenhouse will go more quickly with extra hands👍🏻
Florian is such a Beautiful Man inside and out
Hi Michael, welcome Florian, beautiful work on the green house guys. You two are way too funny, I am so happy Florian you are back. The flower bouquets are so lovely, your mums are going to love them. Thank you for sharing with us. Alex, great job filming. Love from N.Y.
An absolutely lovely and wholesome Sunday treat. With so much horrendous stuff going on in the world, this sort of hapoy, fun and sweet content is exacty what I want to see. Thank you
Love the musical gate, Stephanie would love it. Greenhouse is going to look fabulous when its done. Good to see Florians smiling face back again and helping with the great looking flowers for your Moms.
Happy, Happier, HAPPIEST Mother's Day 💝💐🦋 to all the wonderful Mothers in the whole Pethericks clan! What an amazing group of ladies! 🌟🏆😍💘💞💟💗💟 🗼
Michael, if you only put enough water 💧 for a few inches (centimeters) of the stem to have water your arrangements will last much longer. A full vase of water will make the stems rot quickly. Stunning bouquets! Absolutely beautiful 🌹💐🌼🌷!
The La Lande door playing Stephanie's music should be a regular feature on your channel!😊
You are such an amazing artist. The Lalonde doors need peacocks. I think hand picked bouquets are a much more personal gift for Mother’s Day. Thank you for the wonderful video.
Beautiful, gentlemen! I'm sure your mothers were well pleased💗
Aww...too cute! Adorable. Keep them coming just like this!
Happy Mother’s Day to all mums. Great video full of love and colors just like the beautiful bouquets.
I didn't realise Florian was gone, so seeing you come in the musical door was great! Then there was the musical garbage lid. Epic! LOL You two do compliment each other on camera, great Bouquet of flowers, I am encouraged to go out and pick some for my wife now! Great video guys.
The Laland sound effects were spot on! 😂
lmao...Vacuuming the Garden. I was laughing too hard. That was very funny Micheal.
Florian is so sweet and smart!
The gate clip was hilarious, well done. Florian is great too with a sweet nature and a love sense of humour
You guys made awesome flower bouquets. They are not to full, just stunning and made with so much love and thought.
Your Moms must have been delighted.
Loved this! So much happiness and hope you get to celebrate Florian being back bc you should take every chance at celebration!the LaLande Gate-priceless!😂😂😂
Flowers around the chateau are positively beautiful.
The bouquets were lovely and I’m sure brought great joy to both moms.
Happy to see Florian in front of the camera now and congrats on completing his studies.
Always enjoy Michael’s videos and fun personality.

Flowers picked and cared for is the best way to receive flowers.
Yay 🎉 Florian is back! He just makes me smile every time! 😂
Oh so lovely to see Florian again 🫶. Michael you are definitely living a dream life. ❤️
20:30 more flowers on the head and ear piece thats wonderful Florian wore a flower around what fun aesthetic 😎👏🏼🍨
Vacuuming in the garden is obviously catching on. I used it at the weekend to get the dead wisteria flowers out of the middle of my yucca 😂
I also vacuum the patio 😂
Well done guys. Florian obviously has picked up a few tips from his Mum. 💐
