Oh my goodness! That was so interesting seeing the seed part of your parents' business. Could you do a whole video on that? Give us a tour and maybe that's a way to get your dad in a video cuz he could do the tour and explain what all that's about. That would be fascinating!
Yeah, I'd watch that. Not just the operations but also the different types of seed and the applications (to whom do they sell and what types of projects their customers use the seed for).
As one of a (three) all girl family and mom to a daughter, it makes my heart happy to see you and your sister grab that big forklift and move heavy stuff around without looking for “muscle” to help! We are a farming family and us girls drive gators, tractors, forklifts, you name it! Always shocked men when they’d see us handling the machines like pro’s. Teach your daughters to use big machines - keep all their options open!
I totally agree. I also just love seeing a happy loving family who works so well together. In this day an age we so need more of this. It warms my heart.
@@BayouBlooms Absolutely. She really shows what true women really are. Loving, caring, and strong. We are capable of many things. Her children will grow up to amazing and well rounded citizens. In a world where people are asking what a real woman is, here is an example.😁
One of 5 girls here. No brothers. All capable DIYers, masons, yard stuff, etc. ... I don't do electricity tho😉, leave that for Hubs. I do call in muscles are (son, hubs) on rare occasions when I really can't manage 😸.
I think that her father handles seed contracts. It is a farming and ranching area. Mining also. There is a book, Oregon's Golden Years by Miles F. Potter for the history of the area.
Monica is just a blessing 🙏🏻she does all the behind the scenes work. Unpacking and organizing is so important 🤗 makes the decorating 🎄faster & better🤩 you ladies are awesome 👏🏻
Monica. I had a tiny garden and gift shop pre Covid. At just about 800 sq ft it was a full time crazy job! I'm in great awe if all you do to keep Andrews Seed looking full and festive! I know how hard you work!
Laura driving a forklift while video taping, just makes me smile and think this girl can do anything! I love girl power....you, Monica, & your Mom are just a force to be reckoned with. Love the creativity of you three!
Monica is just adorable! She’s so willing and able to do whatever is asked of her, and with such a great attitude! I’m LOVING those winter houses, I NEED those! That spool worked out perfectly to display them! You both certainly have an eye for what looks beautiful! Well done girls!! ❤
We need an Andrews Seed Co. Christmas ornament! Complete with the buildings behind! Would be wonderful for all your garden answer family! And Laura & Monica(s) working in tandem to create some pre-holiday cheer! So nice coming off of Halloween to get a jump start on the season. And the TREES! Oh the trees! Can't wait to see Aaron's holiday light configuration!
When Russell pops on the scene, it just makes my whole day. What a cool cat! 🤓 I have two little girls who look allot alike and now I know how people are feeling when they tell me “oh my gosh they look like twins!” You and your sister have such similar features and even your laughs. I love to see y’all as a sister team. I hope my girls remain close like that as they grow up together. ☺️
I love that your girls are close. I have 3 boys who were close in age growing up & were the best of friends. Fast forward 30 years (yikes! When did that happen?;) & now at ages 34, 33 & 31, they are still the best of friends & do almost everything together, including their families (although the 3 of them still play a weekly basketball game together). I am so comforted knowing that they have each other. I don’t worry about leaving this earth one day because I know they will never be alone. I hope that your girls will follow in the same footsteps. It will give you so much happiness along the way & peace in your older years❤ Stay blessed!
Good morning! So many thanks for all you do to inspire us. Laura and Monica amazing job today; you wore me out! Kudos to Aaron on the editing and music.
It is so great to see two sisters jive so well together.. it's hard to tell when you hear chuckling her laughter which girl it is, y'all sounds so much alike.
There's nothin' like Laura on a forklift in the morning! Beautiful Job, as always! Love to see the family working as a team! Andrews is so beautiful this time of year. I enjoyed all the ornaments and that train ~ sooooooo cute! Back home to see the trees being planted. That is always so interesting to see how they do that. Another wonderful video! Thanks for taking us along. Enjoy your day. xo
Question: What are the plans for the window displays at the garden center this year? Everything looks amazing! The new trees - what a huge impact they make! 🎄
The short tour of the seed process area was interesting. Would enjoy seeing more. You two girls do a great work at the shop. It’s obvious Christmas is a fun time for y’all. Us too!
Oh my, all the new evergreens must have Aaron's creative juices flowing with all the Christmas lights bc he and all of us enjoy seeing his light displays! Such an amazing creative couple you two make.
I just love when Laura share all her visions and dreams around the blank landscape - I always say out loud ohhh... that’s gonna be beautiful! And it alway is❣️
Oh thank you, Laura, for going back down after closing to give us a special tour with a delicious table full of goodies. Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 Happy November 1st Everyone 👩🌾👍💓
Oh my goodness….that tree is gorgeous…can’t wait to see the whole store set up for Christmas 🎄….you and Monica are a force to be reckoned with when you get going and it’s wonderful to see more of her too…🥰🇦🇺
The energy and creativity you girls have is endless! How fun to create so much magic for your shoppers. I would love to see twinkle lights on the arbor and birch branches just to see more sparkle of all the glass ornaments. So excited to see the rest when it’s done. The sneak peak really was fun! 🦚❤️ 🎄🎅🏻
Fun video! Monica always looks a little worried about what Laura is going to get her into, lol 😂! Monica should start her own UA-cam channel...Kitchen Answer, since she likes to cook!😉
I love it when you do stuff with your family, such a treat to see your Sister. Monica has such beautiful, sweet, sweet spirit. You are so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving family.
My 12 year old son watching with me “Mom, are they close to us,cuz I was thinking maybe we could take you to that store for your birthday” ❤ we’re in NH! That would be some birthday trip!!
Laura, you and Monica nailed the display! I immediately went to Andrews Seed to order ornaments, and they weren't available yet. Imagine tapping against the screen, OPEN OPEN OPEN! Hahaha Awesome family and another great video.
so enjoy the decorating,,for someone who used to do all the same n now older not able to do so much,,,allows me to feel connected to the holidays ...thanks ...lol I even watch the old shows ...also share with elderly aunt....brings so much joy....
The Andrews shop is looking so beautiful! That back garden is quickly shaping up. No one will be confused and drive through there again. Such a great improvement and use of space. Lookiing forward to one of Aaron's incredible aerial views of the Hartley. and surrounding area.
This was SUCH FUN Laura! You have done it woman-got me all excited about Christmas!!! I am the youngest of three sisters and we are all in our 70s now. I have lived in New England most of my adult life whereas my sisters never left Michigan. Our father and his family had a prominent business in downtown Detroit and we owned an island in the Detroit river for many years where we had an amusement park. When my father died in his early 40’s the family kind of fell apart. My sisters are both failing in health and have seldom traveled during their lives so I have only had them with me to visit just a couple of times. NOW is the time Laura & Aaron to revel in your family. When the children are young and everyone is healthy enough to enjoy it all. Bless YOU and thank you SO much for sharing what brings so much joy to us all!!!
Another wonderful video of a day in Laura’s life. Enjoyed it so much; thanks for sharing. I love how your mom and sister have “blossomed” and are so at ease in front of the camera now.
I am so happy for you all ! To be able to afford all the upgrades you are doing for your landscape!! Hartley, flower shed, trees, bricks etc …. You just make me smile 😘
I want to tell you that the way you look at all gardens as if they are a bouquet and plants as potential “landscape bouquets” has taught me to appreciate more plants than I used to. For my garden, I used to only want greenery with a canopy of flowery color on top. Thank you for helping me open up my point of view! It makes gardening and plants even more fun!
I am ALWALYS IN AWE with your great talent, and how the family comes together in work and play. You have a bigger operation than I thought, truly, blessings from the Lord. I love your work, your channel, the togetherness and love in it. Thank you for all you do...I know it is hard work. God bless all of you there. Hugs.
I noticed you have burlap sacks back by your statues. Suggestion, you could fill some up with potting mix and use the sacks as a planter and pop in some poinsettias or small Christmas trees and then tie a big red or green bow around the sack to give a farmhouse flare to items you already have on hand. Everything looks great. Many blessings to you all.
That was amazing 🤩. I think this is one of the best videos of the garden center. So much work goes into the displays. Monica is a real treasure. And you outdid yourself on that beautiful Christmas tree. Breathtakingly gorgeous. Thanks so much for starting my day filled with JOY 😹.
Oh man, I wanted "Sisters Are Doing it for themselves" playing at the 10 min mark haha. This was such a lovely video, thank you so much for sharing. Your Christmas prep is now part of my own pre christmas tradition haha 💖💖💖
I took my Halloween decorations down last night and put my turkeys up outside, but inside I have Christmas lights up. I love decorating for Christmas early and it’s so nice to see the new products that came out. The trees look great. I hope to see you and your mom and sister go to antique stores to Christmas shop. Enjoy the day.
Okay I cried when I saw the tree's going in the ground. I know I have nothing to do with all the stuff your doing but seeing your dreams come true just made me emotional. I loved watching you and Monica working together today. She just pop's on those forklifts and holds the stuff while you're driving it. No problem in trusting your driving at all. When you opened the door and turned on the light's and I saw all the Christmas items well the water work's started again. The tree is beautiful that you decorated!! I can't wait to see all the tree's decorated and on display. You have a family that works well together and you show each other how much you love them. It truly makes my heart happy to see all of you together. Now I need to try to stop crying and get on with my day. Thank you for starting my mornings off with a blessing.
I have 5 sisters but we're scattered around the country and nobody ever wanted to work with me on my laborious DIY projects anyway. I'm envious of Monica and Laura getting to be creative together at the store.
I would be so overwhelmed with all of the Christmas decorations, pots, and plants. You ladies have very artistic and talented minds. Everything looks so inviting and magical. If I never get out to the west coast, Andrews will be on the top of my list.
I love how your family works together. I always want to support family businesses. They’re losing out to the big stores unfortunately, which never have the same spirit.
Those red cardinals would look beautiful on the birch tree limbs by the arbor. This makes me miss working in retail so much. Andrews is looking mighty festive.
Wow!! I used to work at hobby lobby and set up for Christmas and do displays. I know how much work all of that is. And way to go Monica for unpacking and organizing everything so meticulously! Beautiful organization!
I am flabbergasted by how much work and effort goes into renewing the display! I think I will be more appreciative of the changes I see in shops. It looks wonderful!
It makes me so happy watching and listening to you and Monica get excited about pretty things. My little sister moved to Virginia (from Massachusetts) so we get excited about the little things via facetime now. This video makes me really excited for her to come home for the holidays!
Thanks for the tour of how the seeds are processed it was interesting and something you never think about or get to see when everything you get is already processed and in a bag you have no idea how much hard work it takes to make so easy for us
You need to try putting a string down the holes of the fountain with a bead at the top to stop it from going all the way through. Then you cut the string the length you want. The water follows the string into the bowl eliminating splash 💦
Your children will remember all of these holiday get togethers all of their lives. My grandmother celebrated all of the holidays in a big way with lots of food and family. At the age of 64, I still remember many of those years when I was a child. Such happy memories.
Sooo much planning, arranging, rearranging etc goes into an inspiring Christmas display. People have no idea so it’s great that you show your viewers the man hours involved to just sell for a few weeks and then have to sell it at cost or even less. I’m so glad I stopped doing a Xmas shop last year and can just enjoy everyone else’s now.
⛲️. I had a happy accident with my fountain on the screened in porch with low splash bleach. I put some in the water to kill the algae and came out to find bubbles everywhere! So for 2 years now I put a few drops of dish soap in the water because I noticed there was no splashing, and the sound is more pleasant with bubbles 🫧 in the fountain
LOL out of element at Garden Center Laura? I'd say from this video that you were in your element there doing what you were doing there in decorating. It's nice your family all can work together and you can dip your toes back in occasionally. It was fun to watch the decorating and I do get it why businesses decorate so early but each year I can't help but think it isn't even Thanksgiving yet and all the Christmas stuff is taking center stage already. Like I said I do get it because customer can shop for their own homes early so they can enjoy it on time. The trees are really adding the stateliness to the estate you are creating! I can't wait to see them all decorated! Happy Holidays! Seasons Greetings to all!
I watch your videos daily. Scrolling through past videos I found the one with you, Aaron, and Monica singing Oceans. Her voice is so angelic. Aaron said watch for more. (I realize you probably have a lot of free time😍) I think it would be pure joy Monica singing background during an Andrews tour or a Christmas tour of your property! Please more
Oh my this is looking so beautiful Monica, you and your mom are so beautiful. Love to watch you and Monica work together You can tell y'all know what each other are thinking.❤️❤️❤️
Okay, stop it!!! I want to travel to Andrew’s and shop for my garden…for the holidays… for…. Thank you for the trip behind the scenes of your family’s nursery. Just looking behind the scenes helps to reveal how much work goes in to owning a nursery business. For example, something as simple as the time required to organize and place Christmas/holiday decor on tables takes time. Many of the pieces look fragile. Small businesses should be protected and often come with family legacies service their communities with more than products to purchase. I loved the flower handout. My dad always says that actions speak louder than words. Your great little stories and actions especially speak volumes. Keep up the great work. Your uplifting content and work ethic is noticed.
Good morning Laura and Aaron and family!!! I really feel this video is about family today. Family working together and producing such loveliness! Hugs from N.C..❤️
Colorado blue spruce are my favorite tree. ❤❤ The store looks wonderful! Wish I lived close so I could shop there. Monica does an amazing job with everything she does. I feel for her though at first when she looks so overwhelmed. You two make a great team.
This is so much fun to watch come together. And I love watching you work w your sister. Curious if you are you going to do the windows at Andrew's this year? I love the ideas you come up with, I kind of did the gingerbread house windows at my church one year after seeing you do it 😉 Thank you for bringing us along 💚
Absolutely gorgeous!! Wish it would be possible to visit the Garden Center again! I have been a Santa collector for years so it is so exciting to see all the beautiful Santa’s plus love the big houses and all the other beautiful items! Laura, you and Monica did a terrific job decorating!!
You ladies are so fun to watch! Monica is so cute and you all are very creative! Some red dogwood branches with little white poinsettias in them would look good in that white furry boot. Great job ladies!
It would have been so cool to have an inspiration video of a Christmas basket like the one made for the Easter grass basket🌲❄. I just loved that one🤩. Made for friends or colleagues, either for one or more people.🥰
The garden center…beautiful! However, those landscape trees take my breath away! Nothing like those in my area so my imagination can see that all filled in. Spectacular!
My husband's on his way to work in Ontario this morning, I was so tempted to tag along. Might just make my own trip over this weekend! The shop looks amazing, I want everything! 🤪
It will never not amaze me seeing those big trees go in- what an incredible system! I planted a golden elm and a maple tree in my front yard, they have many years to go before they look anything near as big as I’d like - if I could get bigger trees like this, I’d do it in a heartbreak!
please tell me there's going to be a part 3, everything looks amazing, makes me want to start decorating now. You and Monica are doing such a wonderful job decorating.
Today’s Washington Post explained a new word invented for our new normal: ”permacrisis.” It’s so lovely to watch your videos and revel in Laura’s joy and all the family love and so many beautiful things. Thank you, Laura and Aaron (and Andrews family) for giving us a place to rest and find hope.
Oh my goodness! You and Monica are such a GREAT team! You two really play off each other’s creativity! It’s all looking so, so beautiful! Ten thousand thanks for all the inspiration! 🎄
Just scrolling through youtube plant videos and I noticed one with you in it, and I'm like whaaaat I recognized you.. Ive been in the store a million times and never knew you had such a popular youtube channel!! This is just so cool! Great job on your videos and Andrews always looks so amazing! When you walk in its like a whole new world! Excellent job! Love this family. My parents used to sell water lilies to your mom and dad back in the day before so many rules and regs came into play. :)
I’ve watched those big trees being planted a few times now, man, that monster machine still amazes me!!!! My most fav videos is Christmas decorating at the Garden Center!!! How beautiful all the ornaments are this year! I’m excited to decorate my own new home this year and my sore back reminds me how great next spring will be!! It’s all so wonderful and keeps me focused on the positive! For that I thank you 1000x!!!!!
That looked like so much fun!! It turned out beautiful!! You alll have great eyes in decorating!! Also all the great family time, memories created!! I love the trees placed in your yard!! It’s gonna feel like a park setting.
Monica did such an amazing job ordering, unpacking, and organizing all the different Christmas ornaments and decorations. 🎄🎄🎄
monica def rocks!!
Absolutely love Monica...so cool.
Yes and she looked so much more comfortable on camera today. Maybe she will start her cooking show one day!
Susan, Monica and Laura each have such wonderful and unique talents. They make a mighty team!!
Laura is amazing ❤❤❤❤
Oh my goodness! That was so interesting seeing the seed part of your parents' business. Could you do a whole video on that? Give us a tour and maybe that's a way to get your dad in a video cuz he could do the tour and explain what all that's about. That would be fascinating!
Yes, please! Like, what do you do with the chaff? Is there any use for it? That would be so interesting!
Just came to the comments to say the same thing, would LOVE to see a behind the scenes.
Who knew ? I just thought the name was an old fashioned way to convey "farm store". A REAL seed business? WOW!
Yeah, I'd watch that. Not just the operations but also the different types of seed and the applications (to whom do they sell and what types of projects their customers use the seed for).
I would love that!
As one of a (three) all girl family and mom to a daughter, it makes my heart happy to see you and your sister grab that big forklift and move heavy stuff around without looking for “muscle” to help! We are a farming family and us girls drive gators, tractors, forklifts, you name it! Always shocked men when they’d see us handling the machines like pro’s. Teach your daughters to use big machines - keep all their options open!
I totally agree. I also just love seeing a happy loving family who works so well together. In this day an age we so need more of this. It warms my heart.
@@jennifercline7843 yes! I love watching her kids work with her and you know she did with hers. Kids learn from watching and doing. ❤️
@@BayouBlooms Absolutely. She really shows what true women really are. Loving, caring, and strong. We are capable of many things. Her children will grow up to amazing and well rounded citizens. In a world where people are asking what a real woman is, here is an example.😁
One of 5 girls here. No brothers. All capable DIYers, masons, yard stuff, etc. ... I don't do electricity tho😉, leave that for Hubs. I do call in muscles are (son, hubs) on rare occasions when I really can't manage 😸.
Yep-I totally agree my daughter is all of 110 lbs... but can drive any machinery as good as the next! She’s my hero 🦸♀️
I didn't know your parents actually processed seed. It would be fascinating to get a more in-depth look at that side of the business!
Agree!! That sounds great 💗
I think that her father handles seed contracts. It is a farming and ranching area. Mining also. There is a book, Oregon's Golden Years by Miles F. Potter for the history of the area.
yes, please.
I agree. Actually got on here to ask for more of the story on the whole seed thing also.
What happens to all the chaff ? Would it make a good ingredient in compost making?
Monica is just a blessing 🙏🏻she does all the behind the scenes work. Unpacking and organizing is so important 🤗 makes the decorating 🎄faster & better🤩 you ladies are awesome 👏🏻
She’s always nervous 😬 about what’s gonna come flying out of Laura’s mouth..... but then is like- “ okay let’s do this!” I just love her❣️
Monica. I had a tiny garden and gift shop pre Covid. At just about 800 sq ft it was a full time crazy job! I'm in great awe if all you do to keep Andrews Seed looking full and festive! I know how hard you work!
Extremely impressed with Laura’s ability to drive that fork lift with one hand and continue to video with the other. You go girl!
Laura driving a forklift while video taping, just makes me smile and think this girl can do anything! I love girl power....you, Monica, & your Mom are just a force to be reckoned with. Love the creativity of you three!
Monica is just adorable! She’s so willing and able to do whatever is asked of her, and with such a great attitude!
I’m LOVING those winter houses, I NEED those! That spool worked out perfectly to display them!
You both certainly have an eye for what looks beautiful! Well done girls!! ❤
We need an Andrews Seed Co. Christmas ornament! Complete with the buildings behind! Would be wonderful for all your garden answer family! And Laura & Monica(s) working in tandem to create some pre-holiday cheer! So nice coming off of Halloween to get a jump start on the season. And the TREES! Oh the trees! Can't wait to see Aaron's holiday light configuration!
Monica is so sweet, she’s like “oh dear... but let’s go along” 😅
Love when your family works together, you girls work so hard and it's fun also.
I can just imagine you girls when y’all were younger learning to drive the forklift, working around the store… lots of laughing and memories! ❤
Look at Laura go on the forklift! I love the videos with family in them! I enjoy all you do at the Garden center as well as your home. Just lovely!
It’s forklift time!!!! Yahoo! Indoor decorating and forklifts:)
When Russell pops on the scene, it just makes my whole day. What a cool cat! 🤓 I have two little girls who look allot alike and now I know how people are feeling when they tell me “oh my gosh they look like twins!” You and your sister have such similar features and even your laughs.

Question: What are the plans for the window displays at the garden center this year?
Everything looks amazing!
The new trees - what a huge impact they make! 🎄
And, the Garden Center always turns out very very beautifully! You ladies have tremendous ability for displaying items to ensure the maximum impact. 👏
I love that Monica (and her big gorgeous eyes) has become comfortable with the camera. She and her humor add a real spark.
The short tour of the seed process area was interesting. Would enjoy seeing more. You two girls do a great work at the shop. It’s obvious Christmas is a fun time for y’all. Us too!

The tree and all the Christmas decor is gorgeous! The quality of the ornaments is just beautiful Laura! I loved my ornament I ordered last year!
Just magical Laura. You and your sister did an incredible job. Can't wait to start decorating for Christmas 🤗💓💞💕
Fun video! Monica always looks a little worried about what Laura is going to get her into, lol 😂! Monica should start her own UA-cam channel...Kitchen Answer, since she likes to cook!😉
That's such a great idea and name!!
I love it when you do stuff with your family, such a treat to see your Sister.
Monica has such beautiful, sweet, sweet spirit. You are so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving family.
My 12 year old son watching with me “Mom, are they close to us,cuz I was thinking maybe we could take you to that store for your birthday” ❤ we’re in NH! That would be some birthday trip!!
You guys are so dedicated committed to getting the job done right. It all looks stunning. ❤️
Laura, you and Monica nailed the display! I immediately went to Andrews Seed to order ornaments, and they weren't available yet. Imagine tapping against the screen, OPEN OPEN OPEN! Hahaha
Awesome family and another great video.
I can't wait to see what you, your mom and Monica are going to do this year for the window fronts!! Last year's was incredibly beautiful 😍
You are so talented in decorating , you nailed it.
Thank you for bringing us along for part 1 and part 2 of revamping the garden center for Christmas 🎄 ❤️
Every minute of this video was a joy!! Thanks for sharing the seed area at Andrew’s!! How cool!
so enjoy the decorating,,for someone who used to do all the same n now older not able to do so much,,,allows me to feel connected to the holidays ...thanks ...lol I even watch the old shows ...also share with elderly aunt....brings so much joy....
You ladies did a wonderful job of making the garden center festive. It's so beautiful!
Your family has the sweetest harmony. The tree is beautiful.
The Andrews shop is looking so beautiful! That back garden is quickly shaping up. No one will be confused and drive through there again. Such a great improvement and use of space. Lookiing forward to one of Aaron's incredible aerial views of the Hartley. and surrounding area.
This was SUCH FUN Laura! You have done it woman-got me all excited about Christmas!!! I am the youngest of three sisters and we are all in our 70s now.

Another wonderful video of a day in Laura’s life. Enjoyed it so much; thanks for sharing. I love how your mom and sister have “blossomed” and are so at ease in front of the camera now.
I am so happy for you all !
To be able to afford all the upgrades you are doing for your landscape!! Hartley, flower shed, trees, bricks etc ….

Clearly that was not your 1st rodeo working together. You synchronize beautifully making the whole moving process look effortless.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I noticed you have burlap sacks back by your statues. Suggestion, you could fill some up with potting mix and use the sacks as a planter and pop in some poinsettias or small Christmas trees and then tie a big red or green bow around the sack to give a farmhouse flare to items you already have on hand. Everything looks great. Many blessings to you all.
That was amazing 🤩. I think this is one of the best videos of the garden center. So much work goes into the displays. Monica is a real treasure. And you outdid yourself on that beautiful Christmas tree. Breathtakingly gorgeous. Thanks so much for starting my day filled with JOY 😹.

Okay I cried when I saw the tree's going in the ground. I know I have nothing to do with all the stuff your doing but seeing your dreams come true just made me emotional. I loved watching you and Monica working together today. She just pop's on those forklifts and holds the stuff while you're driving it. No problem in trusting your driving at all. When you opened the door and turned on the light's and I saw all the Christmas items well the water work's started again. The tree is beautiful that you decorated!! I can't wait to see all the tree's decorated and on display. You have a family that works well together and you show each other how much you love them. It truly makes my heart happy to see all of you together. Now I need to try to stop crying and get on with my day. Thank you for starting my mornings off with a blessing.
I love seeing you and your sister together. Monica is great, and the two of you create a force of nature!
I have 5 sisters but we're scattered around the country and nobody ever wanted to work with me on my laborious DIY projects anyway. I'm envious of Monica and Laura getting to be creative together at the store.
I would be so overwhelmed with all of the Christmas decorations, pots, and plants. You ladies have very artistic and talented minds. Everything looks so inviting and magical. If I never get out to the west coast, Andrews will be on the top of my list.
I love how your family works together. I always want to support family businesses. They’re losing out to the big stores unfortunately, which never have the same spirit.
Those red cardinals would look beautiful on the birch tree limbs by the arbor. This makes me miss working in retail so much. Andrews is looking mighty festive.
Wow!! I used to work at hobby lobby and set up for Christmas and do displays. I know how much work all of that is. And way to go Monica for unpacking and organizing everything so meticulously! Beautiful organization!
I am flabbergasted by how much work and effort goes into renewing the display! I think I will be more appreciative of the changes I see in shops. It looks wonderful!
It makes me so happy watching and listening to you and Monica get excited about pretty things. My little sister moved to Virginia (from Massachusetts) so we get excited about the little things via facetime now. This video makes me really excited for her to come home for the holidays!
Your whole family is awesome! I love when we get to spend time with them. It’s like Laura, x 5! These are my favorite videos…Christmas at Andrew’s!
Best gardening show on UA-cam AND TV!! 🤩❤🎄
Thanks for the tour of how the seeds are processed it was interesting and something you never think about or get to see when everything you get is already processed and in a bag you have no idea how much hard work it takes to make so easy for us
You need to try putting a string down the holes of the fountain with a bead at the top to stop it from going all the way through. Then you cut the string the length you want. The water follows the string into the bowl eliminating splash 💦
Great idea! It would add pizzaz!
I thought of Holly sprigs...but that might not work.
Your children will remember all of these holiday get togethers all of their lives. My grandmother celebrated all of the holidays in a big way with lots of food and family. At the age of 64, I still remember many of those years when I was a child. Such happy memories.
Sooo much planning, arranging, rearranging etc goes into an inspiring Christmas display. People have no idea so it’s great that you show your viewers the man hours involved to just sell for a few weeks and then have to sell it at cost or even less. I’m so glad I stopped doing a Xmas shop last year and can just enjoy everyone else’s now.
⛲️. I had a happy accident with my fountain on the screened in porch with low splash bleach. I put some in the water to kill the algae and came out to find bubbles everywhere! So for 2 years now I put a few drops of dish soap in the water because I noticed there was no splashing, and the sound is more pleasant with bubbles 🫧 in the fountain
LOL out of element at Garden Center Laura? I'd say from this video that you were in your element there doing what you were doing there in decorating. It's nice your family all can work together and you can dip your toes back in occasionally. It was fun to watch the decorating and I do get it why businesses decorate so early but each year I can't help but think it isn't even Thanksgiving yet and all the Christmas stuff is taking center stage already. Like I said I do get it because customer can shop for their own homes early so they can enjoy it on time. The trees are really adding the stateliness to the estate you are creating! I can't wait to see them all decorated! Happy Holidays! Seasons Greetings to all!
I watch your videos daily. Scrolling through past videos I found the one with you, Aaron, and Monica singing Oceans. Her voice is so angelic. Aaron said watch for more. (I realize you probably have a lot of free time😍) I think it would be pure joy Monica singing background during an Andrews tour or a Christmas tour of your property! Please more
Hi Laura
Such beautiful decorations. The tree looks awesome and i love the icicles. Monica is a gem isn't she? The kids are gorgeous😘😘
I love the Christmas series at the Garden store. And Samantha is getting SO big. What beautiful children you two have!!! 😊❤️🙏🏻
It's fun to see how much more comfortable Monica has become on camera. Love it!
Oh my this is looking so beautiful
Monica, you and your mom are so beautiful. Love to watch you and Monica work together
You can tell y'all know what each other are thinking.❤️❤️❤️
Okay, stop it!!! I want to travel to Andrew’s and shop for my garden…for the holidays… for….
Thank you for the trip behind the scenes of your family’s nursery. Just looking behind the scenes helps to reveal how much work goes in to owning a nursery business. For example, something as simple as the time required to organize and place Christmas/holiday decor on tables takes time. Many of the pieces look fragile. Small businesses should be protected and often come with family legacies service their communities with more than products to purchase. I loved the flower handout. My dad always says that actions speak louder than words. Your great little stories and actions especially speak volumes. Keep up the great work. Your uplifting content and work ethic is noticed.
Good morning Laura and Aaron and family!!! I really feel this video is about family today. Family working together and producing such loveliness! Hugs from N.C..❤️
Colorado blue spruce are my favorite tree. ❤❤
The store looks wonderful! Wish I lived close so I could shop there. Monica does an amazing job with everything she does. I feel for her though at first when she looks so overwhelmed. You two make a great team.
This is so much fun to watch come together. And I love watching you work w your sister. Curious if you are you going to do the windows at Andrew's this year? I love the ideas you come up with, I kind of did the gingerbread house windows at my church one year after seeing you do it 😉 Thank you for bringing us along 💚
Monica for MVP riding on the pallet with Laura driving! It looks beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Wish it would be possible to visit the Garden Center again! I have been a Santa collector for years so it is so exciting to see all the beautiful Santa’s plus love the big houses and all the other beautiful items! Laura, you and Monica did a terrific job decorating!!
I love watching those large trees being planted. It’s like magic. A blank space to a large beautiful tree!
You ladies are so fun to watch! Monica is so cute and you all are very creative! Some red dogwood branches with little white poinsettias in them would look good in that white furry boot. Great job ladies!
Monicas hair makes her look like 22 or something so beautiful, so young, like royal blooded princess
It would have been so cool to have an inspiration video of a Christmas basket like the one made for the Easter grass basket🌲❄. I just loved that one🤩. Made for friends or colleagues, either for one or more people.🥰
The garden center…beautiful! However, those landscape trees take my breath away! Nothing like those in my area so my imagination can see that all filled in. Spectacular!
My husband's on his way to work in Ontario this morning, I was so tempted to tag along. Might just make my own trip over this weekend! The shop looks amazing, I want everything! 🤪
Good morning all!
It will never not amaze me seeing those big trees go in- what an incredible system! I planted a golden elm and a maple tree in my front yard, they have many years to go before they look anything near as big as I’d like - if I could get bigger trees like this, I’d do it in a heartbreak!
please tell me there's going to be a part 3, everything looks amazing, makes me want to start decorating now. You and Monica are doing such a wonderful job decorating.
Today’s Washington Post explained a new word invented for our new normal: ”permacrisis.” It’s so lovely to watch your videos and revel in Laura’s joy and all the family love and so many beautiful things. Thank you, Laura and Aaron (and Andrews family) for giving us a place to rest and find hope.
Oh my goodness! You and Monica are such a GREAT team! You two really play off each other’s creativity! It’s all looking so, so beautiful! Ten thousand thanks for all the inspiration! 🎄
Always a treat to seen the two sisters working together!
Oh my goodness, the energy of youth is refreshing! 🤩
You girls are sooo talented! Beautiful and put me in the holiday mood!!
What a nice family you are all together, so talented and loving thanks for sharing with us

Just scrolling through youtube plant videos and I noticed one with you in it, and I'm like whaaaat I recognized you.. Ive been in the store a million times and never knew you had such a popular youtube channel!! This is just so cool! Great job on your videos and Andrews always looks so amazing! When you walk in its like a whole new world! Excellent job! Love this family. My parents used to sell water lilies to your mom and dad back in the day before so many rules and regs came into play. :)
I’ve watched those big trees being planted a few times now, man, that monster machine still amazes me!!!! My most fav videos is Christmas decorating at the Garden Center!!! How beautiful all the ornaments are this year! I’m excited to decorate my own new home this year and my sore back reminds me how great next spring will be!! It’s all so wonderful and keeps me focused on the positive! For that I thank you 1000x!!!!!
Can’t wait to see the peacock tree display! Love those colors together.
That looked like so much fun!! It turned out beautiful!! You alll have great eyes in decorating!! Also all the great family time, memories created!! I love the trees placed in your yard!! It’s gonna feel like a park setting.
Einfach nur großartig liebe Laura...Dankeschön für das wundervolle Video.
