That man epitomizes husband/father/businessman/gentleman. So thoughtful. A complete gentleman ❤
I couldn’t agree more!
Agree 💯 %!
I so enjoyed this video. Cried many times over how great your Dad and family is. Wish more families could be like yours and raise productive kind children.
What a good guy. Smart, thoughtful, kind. He is exactly what I expected. You can tell he is enamored with his family. Thank you for taking the time to do that, Mike!
This has been the best show you have had. I love your dads show and answers. Thank you for having your dad. I love what you do. Thank you. Gracie from Mississippi
I have to agree 👍. It's one of the best shows / interviews. Love your dad. He is so honest and all-around wonderful person ❤️.
Thank you, Laura and Aaron
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦.
Agree….nice to finally meet you Mike, you have a very nice family!
Great video with a great Dad / business owner. He has so much great insight on the plant / seed industry. Would love to see another video.
I was so excited to see this video and your Dad did not disappoint. You both did a fantastic job Laura. I am sure you felt loved as he expressed his pride in you and Aaron, I know I felt it 🥰.
Your dad is awesome, your mom too! His message about his attitude towards the home renovation and how he realized he was bringing down your mom’s excitement and optimistic vibe and has tried to fix that was a powerful message that everyone should take note of. I bet your mom really appreciated him recognizing that and trying.
Oh wasn’t that comment just beautiful! Many marriages would benefit from hearing this. 🥰
I get the feeling that they make each other who they are. ( While thinking too bad they're taken!). Together, to me you are good people and a lovely family.

This video is why Garden Answer is such a great channel. It's not just Laura with the expertise and gardening know-how. It's Aaron, Mom (Susan), Monica and now Dad. Your Dad had a very subtle insight of his own preference to good gardening practices. Wonderful video.
I’m so appreciative that your dad consistently affirms your mothers influence in yall’s overall success. There is no ego, just love. Exactly what you’d need a father to be.
We need more like him! Christ centered is the key!❤
So true!!
I can totally see A lot of Dads Traits In Aaron they are both very similar
My biggest take aways --- he referred to his wife as a "Force" and that's all I had to hear to understand how his kids grew up so confident and successful, two parents with mutual respect. He's humble, wise, and generously gave credit to those around him. I just loved this interview!
You covered this so perfectly. Thank you for saying it all so well!
I concur well descriptive comment! Loved the video!
What a wonderful, down to earth man/father/grandfather. No nonsense, tells it like it is, not a fake bone in his body. We need more people like your father! Thank you for sharing him with us. It was a truly enjoyable interview!
Laura, your dad is naturally a public speaker, whether he admits it or not. So many times my eyes were filled with tears, seeing your relationship with your dad reveal itself. Love and respect is the key to any relationship and you two seem to epitomize it. He is a natural salesperson! I can see where you get your attitude and passion.
Best Wishes for the holidays to your and your family extended. Living in Ontario Canada, I feel a connection to your area, as it has a historical connection. Your family is a inspiration to gardening. I look forward to another year of gardening with you.
I watch Sandy Brock. She raises sheep and her husband farms land near Ontario, Ca. I was there when I was 15, too. I went on a 2200 mile bicycle trip through Canada with a group called De cycles for Christ. I was a long way from home and all the Canadians we met made us feel at home along the way. I live in Texas. It was in the mid 70s when we did that land some of the kids, I kid you not, thought we still got around with horses and wagons. They thought we wouldn't know how to ride those fancy 10 speed bicycles that we all rode. Ha! Isn't that the funniest thing???🤣
The thing I think I love most about your channel is that it is garden focused and neutral to controversy. I am not a religious person, but I know that you guys are. However I never feel like I’m not welcome here. Thank you for being who you are without needing me to believe the exact way you do.
No one truly trying to walk the walk, would ever want you to feel anything but welcome.😊
I grew up in a home that wasn’t “Christ” centered, as did my children, and we all turned out pretty well. That being said, it is apparent that your parents lead by example and you grew up in a home filled with love. It was fun to see how much you look and act like your dad.
So well said!
Same here
It's such a blessing for you Laura to have both of your parents around. Wish my parents were still around.😔
Continue doing what you do Laura and Aaron. You both are doing a wonderful jobs. May God bless ❤
Love all your videos.🥰👍🏻
Mike, thank you so much for joining us today!! So nice to hear from the man who raised such a wonderful woman!!
Apparently it was all Susan, lol. 😊
Your Dad is as much fun as your Mom!
What a lovely gentleman your father is. Nothing wrong with speaking your mind, sir. I was smiling so much to hear him state how proud of all of his kids he is, giving your mother credit for raising you kids in the formative years, and how important family is. Great time listening to him. Thank-you for sharing.
The BIG GIANT has a HEART OF GOLD! i so enjoyed listening to his conversation - his depth of knowledge is huge! Thanks DAD!!!! 🤎🤎🤎
What a Dad! Honest, hardworking, gentle, kind, all the things that a Dad sound be.
Thanks for saying what I was trying to say.
💯
Loved your Dad! I could sit and listen to him all day. Loved his quote, "it's not called catching, it's called fishing!". Loved how he wants to encourage and support your Mom during the construction process. Loved how he still remembers you running out to greet him as a child. So impressed with who your Dad is. Salt of the earth, real man.
"It's not called 'catching', it's called 'fishing". I love this. I really like your parents. They are so down to earth and have wonderful, warm personalities. I feel cosy listening to them.
Loved that comment by dad!
What a wonderful surprise this morning, thanks Dad for chatting with us!!!!
Monica has so many of your dad's mannerisms and facial expressions! Loved hearing all his stories.
Yes that's what I thought too
The Kurth genes are strong. Laura and both Benjamin and Samantha are spitting images of her dad!
Yes! I was just thinking that, I really see her in him.
The gentle giant! What a treat to hear your Dad's perspective on all things gardening and more. Wish more parents throughout the land were more like them. You are truly blessed.
Oh my goodness Monica is a carbon copy of her Dad. What a super nice guy. Thanks for letting us meet you Mr. Mike.
That was my first thought! Monica is his junior!
I thought that also!
I appreciate his willingness to give your mom the credit she deserves is helping build the garden center and with being the disciplinarian in the family. 😊
Mike and Susan is where Laura got her work ethic. Instead of allowing their future adults to laze around after school they taught them to work that family matters. They seem like a wonderful couple. I would like to see an interview with both Mike and Susan.
Dads are the best. It's a huge blessing to have a dad that cheers for you in life! This interview made me call my 75 yr old dad to tell him how much I love him!
OH MY GOODNESS! Monica really favors your dad. I couldn’t stop comparing their similarities and mannerisms. Nice to meet him.
Totally !!! It’s uncanny!
I love this. Love to hear him speak I could listen to him for a long time he was his self and boy I did I realize how much you are like him and the love of what you do you are truly blessed hope we get to see this again. Would love to see you all get together will be amazing. Thank you for what you do for us 💜💜
Dad, you have a good screen presence too! It is a true pleasure following all of your family!
He was a natural on screen !.. Very impressive.
Without a doubt, your father is a top guy! I absolutely loved the sneak peek into what drives and motivates him - and it all comes down to family. What an incredible person.
dang I can't add anymore to this...everyone has already gave kutos......great family we need more like yours ....blessing to all ....n thank you AGAIN ....
This reminded me so much of my own Dad. He was so much like your Dad in his manner and the love that just poured out. Your dad's knowledge and his time to explain what he wants to say is so thoughtful. It really shows how faith and close family support you had. Please tell your Dad how much I appreciated this beautiful discussion. Now I think I'll go have my lil cry. I still miss my Daddy!
Could listen to your Dad all day! What a wealth of knowledge! Can definitely see how you have become the wonderful human being you are Laura. Thank you Mike for sharing. I hope he reads all the comments. We GA subs love “The Family”! Thank you Laura for sharing your family with us.
"There's the dad." ❤️
I see where y’all get your twinkle. ❤🇨🇦😊 Your mum gave y’all sparkle, but your dad gave you the twinkle. So blessed. Thank you for this!!
Your dad is a sweet humble man. What a treasure you have!
There is nothing more beautiful than seen a good father with his daughter, you have a great family CONGRATULATIONS!
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!! Yes!! You,Aaron,mom,dad, video!! Great job, Laura and Mr. Dad!!
Oh my gosh... your dad is funny! Not to mention, sweet, gentle, and strong. Laura, how proud are you to feature (and honor) your dad in this great video? I can see the pride and love in your eyes as he speaks and tells his stories. Thank you for sharing what an amazing man your father is!♡
Tell your Dad thank you. He did a great job.
I thought Garden Answer couldn’t get any better ... but it just did. Thank you for your time and wisdom, Mike. Your family sets a great example and is admirable and inspiring. Many thanks to Laura and Aaron, too, for sharing all of this genuine goodness and common sense with us.
Your dad is such an interesting man. He shared a wealth of knowledge and is just such a kind, calm, good man!
I had a little laugh when your Dad said he orders things that no one knows about - instantly the big plastic Santa boots popped in my mind. So funny. ❤😂
True gold for a Dad! Best combination of provider and supporter. You can just see the hard work he has put into his life through the years that has resulted into an amazing success. Yet he gives credit to everyone else. Very wise.
Your dad is refreshingly down to earth
Hope you interview him in the future again.
Dads are so important, especially for their daughters. You're so lucky to have a good one. So wonderful to see.
Your dad is precious 🥹 what a blessing! Grateful to meet you, Garden Dad!
Thank you Michael for sitting down with Laura and making this video. Your thoughts and experience in gardening are much appreciated . It is so wonderful to meet and get to know the great man we get a glimpse of in videos. Can tell your family and beautiful wife Susan are your greatest treasure .
LOVE it, Dad! Thanks for agreeing to be on camera. Now....bring on Susan, too...yeah!
I see so much of Monica in your dad...or maybe him in her! This was such a wonderful conversation and I loved learning more about his life's journey. So many fun stories!
First thing I thought - there's Monica!
Yep I saw Monicas immediately!
It is so nice to hear from your dad. I LOVE how he admires and complements your mother. What a great example for his children❤️
Your Dad is such an awesome guy, we felt the love and appreciation he has for his family. I love how he talks about your Mom, even after all these years he still thinks the world of her, so precious ❤
Your Dad is a great guy and I could liteally listen to him for hours. And I absolutely love your Mom. You had the best role models and are truly blessed. I too grew up going to church every Sunday and was lucky to have wonderful parents. Your parents are both wise, kind and fun. I can't wait for your upcomng "round table".
Oh what a gift this was! He’s such a good soul for doing this! I love the fact that you openly discussed being raised in a Christ centered home and were raised attending church…as your dad said, “it’s so important!”
Please pass on our thanks for his time and for sharing his amazing knowledge!
As long as the Christ centered home accepts all and is non judgmental of other’s choices.
@@jeezumcrow8655no one, Christ centered or not has to accept all other’s choices. I don’t accept someone who chooses to physically abuse a child. Or someone who intentionally murdered someone. The list goes on…There are good and bad choices in life and clearly not all “choices” are acceptable and good. And think about your comment, it’s clearly making a judgement call on what you want the “Christ centered” home to be….😊
@@JesusSaves-JohnKJByou know what she means. But as for me, I'll stay away from all religion
@@JesusSaves-JohnKJB
Clearly that went over your head or your being purposely obtuse. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
Thank you for sharing your dad with us! He is a gem. You have wonderful parents that have set great examples for their children.
What a sweet video! Your dad seems like a very intelligent and pleasant man. Thank you for sharing your time with us!
It was such a wonderful Q&A. Please thank your dad for me...very refreshing to hear a man express himself in a thoughtful, caring way...especially loved hearing him talk about your mom and raising a family, the respect & love he has for her really shone through! He expressed himself so well with all questions, what a lovely man! I was telling my husband that this would be such a lovely video for couples to watch...there was so much in this video that was so inspirational. I feel very blessed, as I see a lot of my husband in him. Thank you so much, take really good care of yourself & each other. Lots of love and appreciation, Kathy ❤(Ontario, Canada)
Laura! Your Dad is amazing! To be one who says he avoids the camera, he is warm, comfortable, kind and knowledgeable, right there in the lens!! I loved this post!
Your Dad is a very special man. He's a great dad. Enjoyed it so much! Please have him on more. Love it!😊❤
What a sweet, soft man. In all the good ways. Thank you for sharing your dad with us!
“ Its called fishing, not catching” Greatest quote of the year!
Laura, getting to know your parents through videos like this shows us how you turned out to be the woman we so love to watch! So thank you Susan and Mike for being great parents and raising Laura to be the person she is today!
Monicas looks JUST like her dad!!!! This was great! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!!
They both have just the FRIENDLIEST eyes!
I was just thinking the same thing !!!
Agreed!!🇨🇦❤️
Thanks to all of you! I loved this and look forward to the next one with both parents!
Absolutely hands down one of my favorite videos. This was a fantastic question and answer segment. I'm really glad your dad said yes to doing it. He's a natural at it. Can't wait for the round table talk and your mom and dad interview
Your dad is so cute with his "aw, shucks" demeanor. Would love to see other Q&A sessions. Thanks for the video!
Mike is a real STAND UP guy! I reeally enjoyed this Laura and Team! I appreciated his candor, humor, awesome wisdom and the love he has for his family!
An incredibly grounded, down to earth, man. What a lovely family.
Oh my! Dad could not be more kind and wonderful. His outlook on life is so positive and down to earth. What a blessing to be able to call him, Dad. Thank you, Laura, for sharing him with us. Such a blessing to hear his wisdom.
Your Dad is a real treasure! What a great role model for your children, love of God, love of family, love of community and a darn hard worker. He and your Mom have been Blessed!
I understand why Andrews is so successful… such kind souls own and operate it! I loved this! Thanks for sharing your parents with us! You’re blessed!
Laura the Q&A with your Dad was awesome. He was a wonderful speaker and loved listening to his responses. He is just what i expected him to be very gracious. I have always wished I loved closer because I would love seeing everyone in person, and, I love gardening. Thank you Laura for asking the questions an Aaron filming. As always I enjoyed the time you share on video. Benjamin popping in saying he went to the library!!!
"So we can fight on screen?"
Am I the only one who thinks they would have the most wholesome polite fights you have ever seen? Gosh they are just an amazing family all around
I saw the thumbnail, and I couldn’t hit play fast enough! So many thanks to your dad for being on camera:)
Laura, this interview is going to be your most treasured video, along with the interviews with your mom. It’s also a legacy for your kids.❤
A camera natural, so many words of wisdom. Love his words of wisdom, love for family and your mom. Kindness and love. Loved todays episode, would love, love, love the round table discussion. Thank you for sharing your dad with us today.
“Keep it enjoyable” is the best advice ever about any aspect of life. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yahoo, you got Dad into the Q&A video. What a wonderful Dad! Just love, like Mom, he just keeps it REAL! Would be fun to have all 4 of you do one. I can't wait
One of your best videos! Thank you to your dad for being open and sharing with everyone. My favorite part was when he said, "If you see us walking on the train tracks, we're working things out." Best advice ever! Open communication is the key to lasting relationships ❤
My goodness Monica looks like your Dad! He seems like a lovely human. You guys are so lucky to have such a nurturing family xx
Wise, wise man. I can see why you have such an amazing family with your wonderful Dad and Mum at the head.
Thank you Laura’s dad!! It was awesome to meet you. 🌸🌸🌸
🇨🇦 A Christ centered home is a home built on The Rock. Thank you Laura for being open to share your faith ❤️
A loving, accepting home is built on respect for other’s beliefs regardless if that includes religion or not. I actually respect Aaron and Laura for not making their religion (or political views) a central focus or topic of their gardening channel, as that would certainly alienate viewers.
Been a long time subscriber and learned so much from you and Aaron, but this video with your dad is priceless. All the info, the expertise, the appreciation he expressed again and again for Susan was absolutely delightful to watch.
It was so nice to just hear you and your Dad chat about gardening…not hard to see where you get your work ethic and your sunny disposition from…just love both of your parents. I now see where your passion for everything nature comes from.
Hi Laura, Looove your Dad. Family man through and through. Answers without fluff, straight to the point and genuine. Love his take on relationships and how he freely talk about it (Respect, supporting each other even when not agreeing).
I wrote this comment piece by piece as I watched the video.
Your Dad is so knowledgeable and still passionate about his craft. Love how he spoke about enjoying simple things in life like “fishing” not “catching” 🙂 wild flowers, driving about in the mountains, picnic by the lake etc…
Great episode 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 and yes to part 2😀
This just made my morning. What a wonderful conversation to record and have. Thanks to your Dad, Mike.
This made me smile and tear up at times. I was 23 when my dad passed, he was only 53. I’d give anything to sit and chat with him. Only thing missing from this was a wedding photo of him and your mom when he was describing their courtship ❤
So enjoyed this Q & A with your Dad. I appreciate all of you for speaking up for a Christ centered home. Most important thing for a family!
Laura, I lost my Dad a few years ago. Hearing you and your dad’s conversation really made me miss mine. I think my Dad would have liked your dad. One of my favorite things to do was to hear my dad’s thoughts on things. He had so much life experience, wisdom, knowledge, and frankness…. Just like your Dad. Thank you for inviting him to connect with us viewers. I also loved how he praised all the work your mom did in regards to the garden center and as a mother. It really reinforces that beautiful family-as-a-team mentality that I see in you all. Thank you!
I think my dad may have known Laura’s dad. At least when Laura’s dad was really first getting into the running of Andrews. 💚
I thought the same thing. We're lucky to have had dads that we miss so much.
Be proud of your father. He's very well-spoken but is able to convey his thoughts in plain speak. He's direct which is always admirable to me. He is fully vested in the future and doesn't seem to shy away from challenges at all. What a great person you get to call Dad! Interesting conversation today.
We did so enjoy meeting your wonderful dad. And it’s obvious how proud you are of him as he is of you all. You have such a lovely family.
Your dad reminds me of my dad. It makes me miss my dad. Enjoy everyday with him. Thank you for sharing. 💗
The man, the myth, the legend! So nice to see him interact with Laura and Aaron. There’s obviously a lot of love and respect there. ❤
Love this interview! Loved hearing your Dad’s stories from business to family. Also , great to hear your Dad talk about hay farming, seed and family farms.
Thank you!
Hi Laura and Aaron. Please tell your Dad a big thank you!! For those of us who are missing our Dads this holiday really made my day! Very informative from someone who started at the bottom and worked his way up the ladder. Christmas blessings to you all.
Laura, thank you for sharing your dad with us. He is a blessing to everyone. Knowledge, wisdom, patience, belief, forward-thinking, passion, respect, and his love for his family all wrapped into one guy. This truly explains the why, the who, the how of you; along with the combination of the character of your mom.
I can see exactly why him and your mother have been so successful. Humility, kindness, curiosity, and a good sense of humor.
I have to echo all the nice comments, what a nice time listening to this conversation- and I think you’re right about the plant guarantee. My grandmother always said they are not selling “eternity plants” 💐
Awww..... This was nice meeting your dad officially! (Well in UA-cam world 😂) I think I love him just as much as your mom.😊 They both seem to be very sweet people. My husband and I started our small business a year ago; and it's chugging along. Listening to your parents humble beginnings are really encouraging.❤❤❤
Oh I loved this video so much!!
Never relieved how much you would be like your Dad as you’re so similar to your Mum. The way you both talk about plants😂😂
Such a sweet and kind man, the way he thinks about the little things for your Mum is lovely. Definitely another video with your Mum and Dad together. That would be a treat. 🥰
Very enjoyable to meet your Dad. He is so likeable. Practical, common sense, a good heart, great candor, humble, and just the right amount of maybe a streak of ornerinous here and there. Really like him! Thank you for having him on!!
When you set this up did you realize how important this q&a would be for your family? Having this story from your dad on how he started at Andrews and expanded the business recorded for all of time is such a legacy for you and your siblings, your children and for your kids children years from now. You have amazing parents!! I can see how your moms and dads personalities just blend so well!! Thanks for sharing your extended family with us.
What a wonderful interview. This rare glimpse into the relationship you have with your dad and the delightfully plain spoken man he is was well worth the wait. There was more than once it brought a tear to my eye and made me miss my own dad. This is the first time I have heard you speak of the beliefs that ground your family, even as we see it in everything you do. You are so right, be it church, synagogue or mosque, having that center is so important when raising children and building families.
Wonderful to see you and your dad 💗💙👍
