I absolutely LOVED this episode...the vibe set with the natural elements and most simple but beautiful items were put together perfectly. I love how often you've inspired me on many episodes to "shop from my own home" and to see my bowls, vases and even a pretty stick that I've picked up on a nature walk differently!
Hello Mr.Smith,, I used to watch you on my local PBS channel some time back,, I just found this ch#this morning!!!👍👍🤗🤗,, & I cant wait for more,,-- thank you for your wealth of of knowledge that you share with all the viewers over all these yrs🙂👍
A feast for my eyes❤️. You inspired me to bring in nature this Christmas. I love everything you do. Thank you for bringing so much beauty and love into your videos
Oh my! What a treat! My favorite gardener and nature lover, P. Allen Smith, and my favorite floral designer and arranger, J. Schwanke! Thank you so much to you both for making our planet Earth beautiful! Save the Green!!!
Jay is just right on with the come back of the Carnation!!!! A beautiful forgotten 🌸 flower that smells heavenly and long lasting, so glad it’s back! The mini variety is awesome and the breeding of the varieties, has beautiful colors!! As a retired florist of 38 years, you can’t beat it’s longevity! Oh I’m in hopes the Colorado greenhouses come back to life, just like the good ole days!!😊 Thanks for sharing!!
Everything looked stunning... However, the highlight of this video was your Great Aunt Jamie! What an incredible beautiful woman! I don’t know how old she was but, she just looked absolutely beautiful! I can’t imagine how gorgeous she must have been back in her heyday! Also, what an ingenious idea with her “Ingredient Bags”.
I am so delighted that you are on Utube and have added your episodes over the years. It makes it so easy to refer back on subjects and use the knowledge. Thank you.
Great episode! Just loved the carnation tutorial! So many interesting techniques used for the arraignments! Thanks so much for so much inspiration! Loved seeing your Aunt & the delicious looking cookie recipe!
His name is J. Schwanke and he is not his florist. J. Scwanke is one of the top florists in USA and worldwide. P. Allen enjoys inviting famous people to his shows.
Your aunt is so cute will have to try those cookies and already planning on how to do J’s carnation topiary!! Great inspiration!!! Thanks so much P Allen!!! Loved this ❤️👍
Allen your home is always so beautiful. Thank Aunt Jamie for the delicious cookie recipe and tip on packaging added ingredients in baggies. I also do that for breakfast muffins. Premeasure flour, salt and baking soda in one bowl. Pop on lid then sugars in another bowl. Makes for easy assembly.
Never too early to get holiday planning in gear. Awesome video loving all the great tips ,will definitely incorporate carnations in this holiday decor, thanks for sharing, stay safe happy holiday planning 🌲❤
WOW, That was amazing. The cookie recipe us similar to an Italian cookie called Cocoons, I’m going to make some maybe today, I have to get someone to bring me some cornflakes and canola oil. The Italian cookies are dusted in powder sugar which I’m hoping to make this recipe in a minute. I love this video and I’m glad it popped up today. I needed some cheering up and my husband has invited a small army for dinner. Thank you for sharing. I am going to move my Rosemary outside.
Beautiful festive episode, Allen thank you! 🎄 As with all your episodes watching the lovely outdoors is so refreshing. Greatly enjoyed the holly and red carnations. "Whatever things are lovely . . . meditate on these things." The cookies look so good! Not to mess with Aunt Jamie's recipe but perhaps some red and green sprinkles LOL ☺️❤️💚 Thank you for the great tips on Rosemary!!
My husband and I enjoy watching your shows! Thanks for starting early with holiday decorations to allow the rest of us time to gather things together! J is so talented and comes up with the nicest ideas for using natural plants and flowers… I love the red carnations, as well as the white hydrangeas…I also enjoy picking up pinecones… I have two barrels full to work with this season! Happy Holidays 🎉
Mr.Smith I didn't see The beautiful Verde vanilla and green leaves Holly I was so hoping you would show one I've seen one in Washington state and it was the most beautiful tree I've ever seen. Love Smell of carnations and sweet peas. 3 White Topiarius Snowman. Nestled in that pine. 😋 cookies Yum. Really love this one.
I know who J Swanky is I am from Fremont Nebraska I knew his parents I worked for his parents for a little bit! We order flowers from there flower shop! I enjoy both of your shows!
Great video as always. I have a huge holly tree in my back yard but it hasn’t create any berries yet. Do I need to plant another near by? We purchased the house two years ago and this tree never bloomed or had berries on and I have a few bee hives in our property so pollination wouldn’t be the problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
How long will each of these stay alive/green without water? Like the Rosemary wreath? I do professional gift wrapping and Christmas decorating. I love using live rosemary, pine needles, holly, & berries, but I’m always worried about how far in advance I can wrap with those. I usually only use live pieces with my last minute customers the week of Christmas. Your rosemary wreath makes me wonder if I can start using it sooner and it still look and smell great Christmas Day??
2sticks of butter, softened 1c Granulated sugar 1 c brown sugar 1c canola oil - what about the peanut butter? Do you need both? 1 large egg 1Tblsp van Cookie Packet 1/2 c coconut flakes 1 c chopped pecans 1 c oatmeal 1 c crushed cornflakes 3 1/2 c all purpose flour 1 t salt 1 t baking soda Chill one hour, bake (Probably 375° oven, 10 minutes)
Everything's going to hell in a handbasket. Buy yourself some Shiba Inu Bitcoin. So you have some money that's not in the dollar if it when the dollar is devalued.

Love the Tablescape!
I enjoy having flora in the house. The pine combs and carnations looked so smart.
I like the idea of using red carnations, together with natural greens and pine cones. Carnations last a long time, smell good and are beautiful.
Love this video. Love to bring nature in side. Love rosemary. Cookies look delicious. Will be making them. Thanks for sharing.
So interesting about the holly containing caffeine!

Mr.Smith I didn't see
The beautiful Verde vanilla and green leaves Holly I was so hoping you would show one I've seen one in Washington state and it was the most beautiful tree I've ever seen.
Love Smell of carnations and sweet peas. 3 White Topiarius Snowman. Nestled in that pine. 😋 cookies Yum. Really love this one.
Great episode!
Fantastic video, I loved everything, especially the little nest, and the story behind it! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
So many useful tips. 👌
Lovely. I loved it!
I Like it! Thank you so much! 😘
Hi Allen,
Loved this episode! Could you spell out the varieties of holly that you showed on the show.
Thank you very much.
New to your channel!
This video is so inspiring! 🙌
Great video😀
Des idées magnifiques
I know who J Swanky is I am from Fremont Nebraska I knew his parents I worked for his parents for a little bit! We order flowers from there flower shop! I enjoy both of your shows!
Where can I purchase the lovely natural string that is wired used for the topiaries and to make the nest? Great series!
There’s a typo in the recipe. Sugar. Sorry, 37 years of teaching spelling in elementary school! 😊Love your videos!
Great video as always.
I have a huge holly tree in my back yard but it hasn’t create any berries yet. Do I need to plant another near by? We purchased the house two years ago and this tree never bloomed or had berries on and I have a few bee hives in our property so pollination wouldn’t be the problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
I must have missed the name of Aunt Jamie's cookies...anyone know? They look wonderful!
I love the cookies ...how long will they keep? Can I make them and freeze them 'til Christmas?
How long will each of these stay alive/green without water? Like the Rosemary wreath?
I do professional gift wrapping and Christmas decorating. I love using live rosemary, pine needles, holly, & berries, but I’m always worried about how far in advance I can wrap with those. I usually only use live pieces with my last minute customers the week of Christmas.
Your rosemary wreath makes me wonder if I can start using it sooner and it still look and smell great Christmas Day??
And, THANK YOU! Everything is beautiful, as usual!!
How do you preserve the flowers in the vase ?
How do u keep your Rosemary from getting too woody on the bottom?
2sticks of butter, softened
1c Granulated sugar
1 c brown sugar
1c canola oil - what about the peanut butter? Do you need both?
1 large egg
1Tblsp van
Cookie Packet
1/2 c coconut flakes
1 c chopped pecans
1 c oatmeal
1 c crushed cornflakes
3 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
Chill one hour, bake
(Probably 375° oven, 10 minutes)
Just found you...love❤
Completely me!
Holly trees bite.
A bit early no?
Everything's going to hell in a handbasket. Buy yourself some Shiba Inu Bitcoin. So you have some money that's not in the dollar if it when the dollar is devalued.
Please no more foam!
