I’m so sorry the amaryllis were stolen. If you don’t pay the asking price, it is stealing. Love that the shed will be centered. Thanks for sharing the flowers shed. It is beautiful and what a great way to sell.
There is no way whoever steals from you has ever watched your videos because I can’t imagine how heartless a person would have to be to know how much work you put into your bouquets and how much of your heart is in it and then take from you.
I’m so sorry that happens! Your flower arrangements are so beautiful and well worth $20! Actually, I was surprised that’s all you charge for them. I am a gardener and realize how much money, time and energy goes into growing all the lovely flowers you put into them! I wish I was close enough, because I would have a new bouquet every week! Your little cottage shed is going to look wonderful! Thank you for the tour of your friends lovely dried flower cottage! It’s always fun to see what others are doing!
It's not nice when they underpay or even steal something. The garden shed with all the flowers is stunning. I'm going to check the channel. Have a nice day ⛄️❄️☃️
Hi Danielle, I love the arrangements with the Spartacus, and Peacock amaryllis, winter berry and evergreens in them, try adding the red winter berries to the more white toned colors of amaryllis see of they sell that way. Your stand looks amazing. I feel bad for you to have been underpaid for your arrangement. Its so unfair and very disappointing. Thanks for taking us to Canada that was fun! No passport required lol. I loved the shed with all the dried flowers hanging from the ceiling! And the side of the shed for selling cut flowers was a great idea! I will definitely check out her UA-cam channel. Much appreciated. 😍
I'm so sorry for the loss you had from the customer. Everything you do Danielle, you do so well and put such effort into. I pray God Bless you !!! You have a 'kind heart'. Thank you everything.
Thanks Danielle for featuring another Canadian Gardener. As a Canadian UA-cam Gardener myself I would love to interact with other Gardeners in Canada. I am in a colder climate zone 3b but definitely love connecting with gardeners world wide. It would be fun to have a coffee chat with other gardeners some day!
I just checked out your channel & subscribed... 😊 I'm in indiana & have my own UA-cam & farm & garden, but I always like to watch others in differentareas!
I just admire your attitude about the stealing those things happen in many situations in our lives but don’t let that discourage us from going forward with our dreams. Thanks again Danielle for your posting.
Your arrangements are just gorgeous (and underpriced, IMO). Can’t wait to see the cottage installed. Thank you for introducing us to Carissa; she and her potting shed are absolutely charming.
Danielle, it breaks my heart to hear that someone underpaid for all your hard work and beautiful bouquet. Hopefully it's a one off. The arrangements are truly stunning! So excited for the garden cottage. Thank you Carissa, for showing us you beautiful space, I love your dried flower ceiling. Happy Holidays!
So sorry you had that theft. I hope it doesn’t discourage you from selling the amaryllis bouquets because they are stunning. Thanks for the trip to Canada!
Maybe you can put a secure camera near the stand. Stealing, especially at Xmas time seems so wrong. This shed is beautiful and spacious! Flowers look beautiful in there!
Loving Clarissa’s flower shed ! So sorry someone stole from you 😢 I’ve been wanting to do a flower stand so bad ! But I think for now, I’ll do one on Sundays during the Summer when I’m home , Thank you for inspiring me in the garden !
Clarissa’s shed is wonderful. Yours will be too, Danielle. People who steal at Christmas subvert the season, especially since those flowers were gorgeous.
With much respect and kindness, the flowers are beautiful and we can only imagine the reason or circumstances surrounding why someone would only partially pay for an arrangement. Tis the season of peace, love, giving and sharing.... you are golden ✨️
I dont see how it is fair to Danielle to have to take the burden of this person's reason/circumstance. Flowers are a luxury, if one cannot afford it, they shouldnt buy it.
Danielle, Your updated flower stand is so Christmasy with the beautiful amaryllis mixed with greenery! Sorry it had to have people who take without paying your very fair price! Btw, have you seen the vlog, Clark cottage garden? She has a cottage too!
People never cease to disappoint. You work hard and those who steal or don't pay the full price are lazy and thieves. They should be ashamed of themselves.
So sorry to hear about the short pay loss, especially for amaryllis. Thank you for the update and the flower shed tour. You always inspire and it's a highlight of my workday when I can watch these videos on my lunch break.
I’m so happy for you, Danielle. Your dreams are coming true and oh! what beautiful dreams they are. The gourds and lights on the tree are magical. Will you leave them up year round? I forgot what kind of tree it is but I absolutely love how soft it looks. Congratulations on this past year and the transformation of your property into what is now a dream come true. ❤️
I give you so many kudos. Your arrangements are beautiful. They should/could easily be sold for soooo much more. My heart breaks seeing that someone stole by underpaying. Some sort of camera system might act as a deterrent. You put so much love and work into those bouquets. On a more fun note :) .... I purchased my first amaryllis and fell in love - now have about 10 more on order. I'll have blooms thru til spring I suspect. Also, thank you for introducing us to Carissas garden - that garden shed is amazing! I plan to grow strawflowers this spring for the first time and may have to dry and put together some wreaths. Really enjoying your videos. Off to watch some more!!!
Oh wow sorry to hear about your stolen plants. I hope they didn’t take the bulb. At least you have that consolation. And those were beautiful arrangements for just $20.
I have a shed in my nursery garden, of a similar size. The Garden room is used for my pre-reception children. So, we have heating as there are books in the room which we use all year round. Amazing space for both kinds of nursery be it flowers or children.
Sorry about your amaryllis. People who don’t grow don’t realize the work, time and money involved. Doing crafts myself I find people like your work for minimal or nothing. Your great attitude as always is a plus. Your new shed will be glorious!!!
I’m so sorry about the “stolen” Amaryllis arrangement. Ugh-so bummed when this happens! They are so gorgeous and such a good bargain at 20$. Folks just don’t get it!!! Thanks for sharing the darling flower shed from Canada. I will subscribe! I can hardly wait until yours arrives!!!
Sorry to hear that flowers were stolen from you again. Honestly....what a world we live in.....The gal's shed is great.....glad you are adding windows....light so important....for work, but also sanity❤ tapped on "more" and didn't see your friends You Tube Address.
Can you sell the Amaryllis by online orders to be collected? They are very special blooms. Thank you for the tours you are including, always enjoy your content.
As a Canadian Gardner it's always nice to discover other Canadian youtube channels since, I am also in a zone 4 (2 feet of snow here right now), so I will definitely be checking out Carrissa's channel, thanks for the link!! ❤ Also how arrogant of that person to decide what to pay for your arrangements!! Unfortunately people like that ruin it for the rest of us honest people who appreciate the time and work involved in making and selling arrangements.
Stunning arrangements. It is disappointing when one underpays, yet perhaps having a positive thought on it as blessing that person. Hope it will not happen to awful often, but in the times now, such beauty in the arrangements and the person may have really needed that at that time . It still does not make what they did right. In Joy
Sorry to hear that they did that. Have you ever considered selling them online (or via facebook page) and then that people make an appointment to come and collect them at your door? Then you know how many to prepare and they will not get stolen.
Is there anyway you could add a wireless camera to the shed? (SimpliSafe has a wireless one with a battery and solar sensor.) It will alert you when there is movement, and there is a blinking light so people will know they are being recorded. I think people will be more likely to be honest if they know you have their picture.
I just love what you are doing with the cut amaryllis this year! ❤️ I was recently inspired by the tropical floral arrangements on the show Golden Bachelor. They were in Costa Rica in the next to the last episode from a couple weeks ago. The arrangements were so colorful and unique it made me want to try to grow some tropicals somehow. Have you ever arranged with tropical florals?
Hi Danielle, thanks for introducing us to a Canadian gardener. The majority of my You Tube gardeners reside in the USA😂. Your cottage/garden shed is a great gift to yourself and it is going to be so beautiful in your newly llandscaped partof your garden! 🥰🌸🇨🇦
Hi Eileen I agree as a Canadian Garden UA-camr in zone 3B its hard to find other Canadian Gardeners out there. With Danielle shedding a spot light on this it really helps! It's nice to have a community to share information!
Loved the flower shed visit. Subscribed to Carissa’s channel! Would love to see more flower sheds. Would you consider doing a video or a series on cute sheds around the country? The more budget friendly the better. Sorry about the theft of your arrangements. So disheartening.
Beautiful arrangements, really inspires me to grow more amaryllis. Maybe consider taking a pretty laminated picture that can be used from year to year of your arrangements in place of the actual, and then ppl will have to come to your door to purchase? This may thwart theft and you will not lose so much of your investment? Love your channel!
I think you should try doing the traditional solid red amaryllis. People like Christmas traditions. The other colors are pretty, but they might be better for after Christmas/ new years.
I'm sorry about the short changed amaryllis. I worked for a little bit for a florist & was surprised at how many ppl are always shocked at the prices of flowers (as you say, ppl don't get how expensive ranunculus & other flowers can be). Also, where I live in NY ppl don't realize the taxes and how that adds on to every purchase. How about a small sign (very simple) stating that the flower stand is being actively monitored? I know you probably don't want to go that route but it is a reality for businesses.
Canada is a big country. Saying its snowing in Canada is the same as saying its snowing in the states. I'm in Canada - no snow happening here. I'm even in the same province, but I'm on the coast, not the interior. I guess it's something we on the coast of BC are sensitive about, our climate is pretty mild and we hardly ever get snow, a fact which seems to surprise most people in the states.
Lovely garden shed idea. Sorry about your Amaryllis problem. I think the general public dont realize just how expensive they are. They probably think they are a sort of day lily ( even though wrong season). You'd be amazed, at how ignorant most of the population is about gardening and price point. Perhaps a poster with the cost of a bulb and photos of the steps that go into growing them, from just showing its bud, to just opening and then fully open.....to see the lengthy process...or else sell any of the cheaper Amaryllis lillies perhaps (red ones) and keep the same $20 price. The public will soon get it...duh, they better! In my area, they would have ripped the honesty box off the fence with a jack hammer, Lol. Gotta be thankful for small mercies.
Very sorry about the theft, there is no excuse for that. Underpaying is not acceptable either and you really can't allow that. Do you think it would help to have a surveillance camera installed, it might be worth it to avoid the losses. Do you think your local police would be willing to patrol your area? Your arrangements are stunning and well worth the price. Hope your shed project goes smoothly and you have lots of enjoyment and use from it. Great to see Carissa's information, thanks for sharing, good to learn from all of us.
😱Not the amaryllis.. especially not from you Danielle, who loves these flowers so much... What a bummer 🥺 I am wondering if you could build up customers who would preorder and pick up.
A much better idea to have the shed centre. Otherwise each time I watch I would have been saying " Should have put the shed centre"!! So disappointing for someone to come along and steal your amaryllis. The larger amaryllis bulbs seem to be even more expensive in the UK. I have nurtured four over the summer months from last year, no sign of flower buds so far.
I'm so sorry about the amaryllis. Have you considered put a small sign out there woth a note to possibly discouragedl the theft? & i cajt rememeber- do you have a camera? I jidt bought a shed for exactly what she is using hers for- i plan to use it to sell flowers & some vegetables & ise it as a studio to build my bouquets. Were planning to totally insulate it though, so that i can ise it to store flowers throughout the week bendy i also sell at the farmers markets on the weekend, & i need something to hold the flowers at a cooler temp & my fridges I got out of the garbage aren'tbig enough anymote. 😂 But she gave me an awesome idea! I love the idea of an awning on the side! To at least put a couple of the bouquets outside, for people to see- especially in the beginning when I first open!
I'm so sorry for your lost monies that awful, good thing you don't have to pay Canadian prices for Amaryllis. I paid anywhere from $25-$67 depending on the size the bulb up in Calgary Alberta Canada.
Danielle: I'm sorry you had that experience with your beautiful amaryllis arrangement. People can sometimes be so thoughtless. Can you tell me what those green stakes are you had in your hand and where you got them? My daughter is looking for something strong to stake her dahlias -- any suggestions would also be welcome.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens Don’t worry about moving the bird house, birds are only roosting in them this time of year, not nesting. If you move it, they will find it. If you have to leave it down for a few days, they will find other places to roost. God’s creatures are very resilient.
Some folks stink. I find the $8 insulting. The arrangement was beautiful and it was worth so much more than that. Would you ever consider putting a camera in your stand? A 'smile, you're on camera' sign might help deter thieves.
The cottage is going to be amazing! It's too bad about the amaryllis, I would prefer to give the bouquets away to family and friends rather than risking that some people would take advantage of underpaying for your high end bouquets (that already are under priced....at least where I live). Perhaps going forward you would just do special orders on your local site...no need for you to lose income due to a few bad eggs.
Why don't you put a note in your flower stand to take pre-orders for amaryllis bouquets with prepayment including a picture of what the amaryllis will look like? Then have limited pick up time of 2 hour window for them to pick them up by ringing your doorbell. You might find a handful of steady year round clients this way. Get their phone numbers and emails so you can add them to a marketing list. If I was your neighbor, I'd be more inclined to buy frequently knowing what's going to be available that week. White amaryllis are too much like white Easter lilies. Plus there is something about a potted amaryllis that is more intriguing to me than it being cut. I guess it depends on the arrangement.
Instead of selling your more expensive arrangements at the stand can you build a mailing list of your customers and advertise that way? And maybe put up a camera so you can see the ones that are not paying properly? I'm sorry this has happened...your bouquets are beautiful and people should be paying properly cor them!
Ugh, so disheartening, dismaying, disappointing to have someone walk off with your hard work; I guess it is a cost of business one must consider. Curious to know if your florist is interested in the cut amaryllis? Maybe that is the more dependable sales avenue, or perhaps people could order on line? Wishing you ultimate success! Lovely to see all the garden cottages out there, and yours is looking more and more lovely day by day!
Take the amaryllis out - you aren’t a charity and don’t deserve that abuse from people stealing your things. The bouquets can be greens boughs and berries etc
That amaranth is so beautiful hanging there I may have to grow some to use as curtains 🪟 Maybe the customer will bring what they owe you later. At least they only took one.

$20 for those beautiful arrangements is already a steal. Maybe the amaryllis ones should be limited to prepaid special orders only.

Hi! Where can I buy properly shaped clay pots for growing amaryllis? Thank you!
Danielle: I'm sorry you had that experience with your beautiful amaryllis arrangement. People can sometimes be so thoughtless. Can you tell me what those green stakes are you had in your hand and where you got them? My daughter is looking for something strong to stake her dahlias -- any suggestions would also be welcome.
They are 20 USD only? Wow, really cheap. So sad that somebody would underpay or steal 🙁
Would you know if I buy amaryllis bulbs this winter and not plant them, can I still plant next winter?
Just a thought, are you going to move the birdhouse because we won't be able to see it looking down the lane with your new Cottage in front of it.
Great suggestion friend! There is a bird living in it currently and I’m not sure what to do!? What do you think?

Don’t worry about moving the bird house, birds are only roosting in them this time of year, not nesting. If you move it, they will find it. If you have to leave it down for a few days, they will find other places to roost. God’s creatures are very resilient.
Some folks stink. I find the $8 insulting. The arrangement was beautiful and it was worth so much more than that. Would you ever consider putting a camera in your stand? A 'smile, you're on camera' sign might help deter thieves.
:-( sorry that happened. I wish you could put a cordless doorbell camera on the side so at least you know who the thief is.
The cottage is going to be amazing! It's too bad about the amaryllis, I would prefer to give the bouquets away to family and friends rather than risking that some people would take advantage of underpaying for your high end bouquets (that already are under priced....at least where I live). Perhaps going forward you would just do special orders on your local site...no need for you to lose income due to a few bad eggs.
Why don't you put a note in your flower stand to take pre-orders for amaryllis bouquets with prepayment including a picture of what the amaryllis will look like? Then have limited pick up time of 2 hour window for them to pick them up by ringing your doorbell. You might find a handful of steady year round clients this way. Get their phone numbers and emails so you can add them to a marketing list. If I was your neighbor, I'd be more inclined to buy frequently knowing what's going to be available that week.
White amaryllis are too much like white Easter lilies. Plus there is something about a potted amaryllis that is more intriguing to me than it being cut. I guess it depends on the arrangement.
That would never work here.
Weird that a person would underpay and not steal the entire flower. So sorry about it.
Maybe you could sell a single stem for 8.00 and so people with less money might select that option.
Instead of selling your more expensive arrangements at the stand can you build a mailing list of your customers and advertise that way? And maybe put up a camera so you can see the ones that are not paying properly? I'm sorry this has happened...your bouquets are beautiful and people should be paying properly cor them!
Why can’t you set up a “faux” camera. If thieves think they are being video taped maybe they will think twice about stealing? Cute shed!
Ugh, so disheartening, dismaying, disappointing to have someone walk off with your hard work; I guess it is a cost of business one must consider. Curious to know if your florist is interested in the cut amaryllis? Maybe that is the more dependable sales avenue, or perhaps people could order on line? Wishing you ultimate success! Lovely to see all the garden cottages out there, and yours is looking more and more lovely day by day!
Really?
Can you share your address, my mom lives in PA and I will love to stop by to buy some from you if it is not too far.
Some people want 1950’s prices. That is so unethical to not pay the asking price, they should have walked away and left it for those who would.
Instal a camera security people want still
I don’t condone stealing. But. Maybe the person was depressed and only had $8. Like your story of when you had your baby and went out to buy flowers.
Take the amaryllis out - you aren’t a charity and don’t deserve that abuse from people stealing your things. The bouquets can be greens boughs and berries etc
Maybe it’s all the money that person had. Maybe the person the flower was going to needed it more than someone who could pay full price.
I wonder if u put a ring camera up if that would be a deterrent even with a small sign like smile you are on camera. What a shame
That amaranth is so beautiful hanging there I may have to grow some to use as curtains 🪟
Maybe the customer will bring what they owe you later. At least they only took one.
