Shopping/Tour at the Garden Center! 🌿💚🌿 // Garden Answer 

Laura, do you realize you're actually generating revenue for nurseries across the land? After seeing this episode I plan on visiting my local nursery today. Love the Garden Center.

I just imagine all the plants having a little voice screaming “take me with you” when they see Laura coming through 😂

Your mom and dad’s store is phenomenal! I never see that variety of plants even in our big production/retail nurseries!

Y'all got me over here checking my Maps. "It's only a 33-hour drive to Oregon Honey! I'll be right back!" 😂❤

I physically can’t go to a garden center so this makes me feel like I’m there. Thank you!

I love the memory you shared, Laura. Being barefoot and smelling the Lemon Balm. I was there with you 🌿 when you were describing it 🌻

The story about the lemon balm reminded me of the honeysuckle that is outside of my bedroom window. When it blooms, the fragrance will drift into my bedroom and I am reminded of summers spent at my dear grandmother’s house when I was a child. I treasure those memories.

Oh boy, get to look at all the goodies this season. I feel like a kid in a candy store watching you walk through the garden store. Beautiful!

These ones are so fun for me to watch! Enjoy nature today everyone!

Laura/Aaron, please send my compliments to Monica & your folks for their awesome garden center. I really enjoy seeing it all.

The Alnwick rose is pronounced Ann Ick. I’m also excited about springtime and I’m planning a day out visiting local nurseries tomorrow. Greetings from the UK😊.

Who doesn't love a garden center stroll and chat. So many things still in bloom. Thoroughly enjoyed with a cup of coffee!

I'm so glad I don't live anywhere close to you. I saw so many things I'd love to have in my garden that I'd probably go broke. So for now I'm going to dream💚

I love shopping for plants, even vicariously! Thanks for taking us with you.

Your Mom is the ULTIMATE curator!

Famous last words. "I think I need another cart"

Ominous is a big word and Benjamin said it well! Good job to Benjamin as well as to Mom and Dad for teaching him.

The variety of plants compatible with your zone is swoon worthy! Thanks for the opportunity to garden vicariously through your fun shopping days!😊💚

Hi Laura, it’s a strange year with weather this year. Most years I watch your videos and that gives me the hope and motivation for spring, as we are usually far behind you! You’ve typically got warmer weather and in t shirts, and running around planting and caring for seedlings. Whilst we typically start to warm up in mid April it’s mostly may before we start planting out. I’m in England in the southeast. It’s always wet, overcast and by tbd time may gets here we are desperate for colour and for our spring to begin. To see you planting out far later than us this year is the strangest thing. I kept getting confused thinking, “why isn’t Laura planting, where’s my inspiration “ 😂 my start of season is usually watch Laura and start planning my spring containers and going off to research plants you’ve shown to us that I’ve never seen before. I have mobility issues due to an auto immune disease, and sometimes I can’t get into the garden, I can’t tell you how much your videos lift me out of my fug, of feeling frustrated I can’t get out there, and your videos inspire me so much, I can lose myself in them and go off researching and then even looking into all the different varieties within a species you’ve introduced to me. So I want to say a huge thank you to you Aaron and your lovely little ones, because this year has really highlighted to me just how much your videos lift me at a time of year my disease is often at its worse, so being stuck indoors waiting for the weather to lift to begin easing my stiffness, so I can get out in the garden. But the great thing is, your excitement for plants, colours and combinations you use, fill me with the excitement for what’s to come whilst I wait for the weather and my health to improve before I can get out and as you say, “take after” my new plans for that season because of you! I hope you realise just how much you help people like me? Your family warms my soul and I look on thinking to myself, ‘now if I was healthy, that life is the life I’d be in my happiest place’ so I dream whilst watching you all 😊 I know this year you’ve seemed to have lost a little bit of the bug…. So I think the slow spring for you has come just at the right time, enabling you to take some time out and enjoy more family time. I’m sure the big will bite once more, as soon as you’ve got consistent temperatures with that glorious sunshine you get. Your current weather that you seen so grateful for, is the weather we live with the most and I often think, ‘how depressing’ that overcast sky is, over time it really affects mental health in a negative way. Blue skies lift the mind and the soul, but I’ve learnt through you the benefits of that, and really we shouldn’t be complaining about it. I hope my message helps you know just how much you inadvertently help me and others like me, I’m certain! I hope that helps to boost your gardening bug and that you find your motivation and that beautiful passionate vibe you always carry. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Enjoy our,………….. damp overcast weather whilst we enjoy seeing how you deal with the challenges this brings for you this year. 😊😊

We took a group of older widow ladies to our local nursery yesterday. We had a wonderful time land we’re able to bless the workers with the extra meals we brought with us. And found an opportunity to do some flowerbed maintenance for one of the 83 year olds whose children are not well enough to get out there for her.

After all these Garden Center tours, all I can think is how beautiful everyone's property in your must be.

Hi Laura and family! It's always a treat going to Andrew's with you and getting to see Monica and your Mom. There are so many beautiful plants there. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks, Laura, for taking the time to show us all the things! I’m so envious! I want a garden center like yours in my town!🥰💖 This was a an excellent shopping tour video!

I am 14 and just got my first job at a local garden center rear me! I love it and it is so much fun to be able to work with my pride and joy, Plants!!!

I am an artist (took a 2 yr break while I was pregnant and spending time with my babies) I never had an interest in committing my time to even watering the plants in the balcony. But now something has changed. I am obsessed! I think each and every single plant I take care of is its own work of art that keeps giving and changing day in and day out. My morning coffee is now accompanied by excited rushing to the balcony and seeing what grew and what needs my attention. Instead of having my miserable shrek face that needs caffeine before anyone wakes up and asks mommy for breakfast🤣 making each plant its best self takes dedication, I didnt know I had such a passion for it until recently. Now I need to art it up again 😮

Always great to be back at the garden center!

Love it when you going to the garden center. I love to watch you look at all the beautiful plants and the excitement in your voice is priceless.

Thank you for taking us along shopping-it is truly a feast for the heart and soul 😊

Good morning GA family!!! This was a fun look at the Garden Center this morning. Hugs from N.C..❤️

This was a fun tour of Andrews Garden Center today! All those rose bushes were so beautiful! A favorite of mine that my mom had in her garden was Tropicana hybrid tea rose that is one that has an absolutely wonderful scent 🌹and brings back the memories of home, like the lemon balm does for you! Happy Gardening to all the GA family from North Shore in MA zone 6b..

Gorgeous plants‼️ I wish you would get several of the contorted or odd evergreens....so fun to see tucked in unexpected areas. Love everything and my Mom would be behind me unloading half of each cart I had overloaded🤣 More is more is more🤩

I could literally watch you go through every single plant in the garden center & never lose interest. You guys have the best stuff! I’m in central Texas, we do have some beautiful things but we can’t grow some of the things you show, so a lot is new for me to see.

Love Love when you are at the Garden Center it’s my happy place♥️🫶🏽♥️

Oh Aaron, you are funny! Thanks Garden answer family for making my morning today ❤

I have had an "Amber Jubilee ninebark for the past 2 years and it is amazing! It changes colors so much through the seasons and is one of my favorite shrubs in my yard. I also have several of the "Double Play Big Bang" spirea and they also go through dramatic color changes which are all beautiful. I highly recommend both of those plants.

Such a beautiful display...and HUGE variety.

You guys did an amazing job on the stone pathway in the garden.

I like the Ford pick up truck🇺🇸 And there’s nothing like country living. God’s blessing! praying for our country ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️

Love the video. I was having a bad morning and now it doesn't seem so bad. Thank you. You bring joy, peace and perspective. Have a Blessed day

I love it when you visit your parents nursery. My local nursery, which is considered one of the best nurseries in the area only covers one variety of blueberries in one raspberry. I know this because I bought a raspberry and blueberry bush this year. I had a big garden years ago, and after my dad passed away,and I was having terrible migraines so high stopped gardening, but after an emergency trip to the hospital, we discovered what was causing most of my migraines and now have them under control. And then I discovered your RU-vid channel last year and you have inspired me to start gardening again only this time with raised beds! I would also love to have a small,emphasis on small tunnel greenhouse. I just haven’t figured out how to lay everything out of my backyard. I did start last year on my front and side flowerbeds, still working on them. Wish I could find your bleeding hearts to go in my front flower bed that is in the shade.

As soon as I have had sufficient coffee I will be out planting lettuces, beets, radishes, and some more onions. We are dry as a bone and have been watering my flowers. Love these tours.

I love it when you talk about plants I have in my garden! Spirea double play Big Bang is an amazing plant! The colors when they first start sprouting in early spring are just so vibrant, and now they are more chartreuse and pink buds are everywhere! Pinky Winky hydrangeas add such a striking structure to our lower driveway wall…it’s a battle between me and the deer, but I protect them with Deer Stopper 2. Always enjoy these garden center tours to learn about plants new to me! Thank you for taking us along! ❤

Beautiful nursery! Your wreath still looks brand new. Your walkway gets me every time!

I wasn't 'seeing' the stone pathway at the beginning, but with it meandering among the plantings...loving it now!!! Really standing out!

Love Seeing what you are going to put in the garden each time. My garden is so shaded that I love seeing some of the sun lovers too. Love the pin cushion flowers.

This Kiwi loves the garden store videos . Could you maybe do a video one day on how your Mum set up the store, how we can set up our own garden store, how she learnt all about plants enough to set up the store ? What you need to know to get a job in a garden centre . What its like to run the store, own a garden store etc ...seems like a dream, but am sure it is lots of hard work. ☺😜

Thank you for this morning's video. I would love to shop at the garden centre with you. I worked in a garden centre for years. Best job of my life. Btw I'm not misspelling centre, I'm Canadian. lol

We just love any visit to the Garden Center! 🙂

It’s always such a treat to do a store tour - I always see new species that now I can’t live without 😂 Was wondering if, when you’re reading the tags, you would include both zone ranges? You often mention how cold-tolerant the plant is, but here in zone 9b we need to know how heat-tolerant it is. Thank you so much for taking us along - I continually learn new things!!

Thanks to Laura I plan on visiting my local garden center here in Grants Pass! I spent all weekend out in the yard, cleaning up flower beds and preparing my raised beds and doing some spring planting. I was also glad that I wasn't too late in planting potatoes. This year I want to plant them in 2 huge round planters (almost like a raised bed). In past years I have found potatoes throughout my garden and wondered why? then realizing our dog had dug up potatoes and buried them in random places! It's the only thing she has been known to disturbed in the garden. We have some super beautiful days ahead and I am so excited to finally get started on more projects outside! I've been in remission for almost a year and aside from my grandbabies gardening is my passion. Thank you Laura and Aaron for your inspiration! The perfect morning is coffee in hand and watching Garden Answer then maybe a call and hearing, "I love you Grandma." Feeling blessed for sure! 🙂

The end of this video was so precious. I loved seeing your family gathered around to see your treasures. What a sweet afternoon you must've had after finishing filming!

I would be in HEAVEN if I had all those plants available to me from one place at a family business!!! Oh my gosh!! Oh wonderful!! What a beautiful life you all have! 💖💖💖

We are so thankful for thrift in our garden. We have very dense clay soil and it thrives when almost nothing else does.

Always love seeing your Mum and Monica’s. Great shopping/tour loved it. Thank goodness the storm passed. Love seeing the kids and Aron right on top of the plants.😂. Aron really has come a long way on knowing plants and stuff. Impressed Aron.💯💯💯. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Love this video! Can’t wait to see the “Rows of Rose” in the cut flower garden. Question: Do your parents ever ask for you to not buy something? Say a highly profitable plant, or just because they want it to bloom in the nursery to attract more buyers? I always wonder that. Love everything y’all do!

I haven’t been to a garden center as beautiful as Andrew’s. The way you guys display the plants, pots, fountains really look awesome. You can tell there’s a lot of thought and love invested invested into putting your display.

I need to find a garden center like that by me in So Cal. We have big box stores, Home Depot and Lowes, but I love the vibe of the family-owned store. Their selection is amazing.

Thanks for taking us along to shop at the garden center. This was a very motivational video to encourage gardeners.

Always fun to visit the garden center, and say hi to mom and Monica!! 💕

Forgot to add in my previous comment, you were talking about the clematis you planted on the corner of the garden shed & was thinking about a trellis... In difficult areas, I use screw- in eye hooks & heavy duty fishing line, staggered going up. Works beautifully!!! good luck!

Wow. The garden center is full of gorgeous plants!!! It looks beautiful. Back at your house, the grass is getting so green!!!

Was anyone else going, “hold on! Slow down, Laura. wait! Go back. Ugh I missed it.” 😂🤣 Laura if you could spend like 30 minutes per cart that would be fantastic. Please zoom in on each bloom and explain every plant in complete detail. Wait, that’s going to take more that 30 minute but that’s ok with us! We love you. ❤

Love the flower sign your Mama showed you❤❤ I want one of the climbing Hydrangeas now

Thanks for your great videos. I have to tell you, I look forward to them every single day to see what you will show us. I always learn something new and just love seeing things through your eyes. Today I bought some Lemon Balm seeds after you told that story about the place at your mother's house. I want to recreate that smell from the story. I absolutely love your new rose area in the flower garden. My mother loved roses. I have a picture of me around the year 1973 in the middle of the Niagra Falls Rose Garden that she took off me. Again thanks for everything you bring to my life.

I can only imagine what my garden would look like if my parents owned a garden center.🤔 🌷💚🙃

I remember when you planted up that corner for your Mother in law. I was a fan and wanted some dogwood in my garden. When u said 7/8 years ago I couldn't believe it!

I completely agree about pincushion flowers they’re amazing and easy to care for.

Thank you Laura for another wonderful video! It's always such a treat when you go to the Garden Center...your mom & sister are just so sweet! Have a wonderful week, take care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy (Ontario, Canada) 🌺🌺🌸🌸🌷🌷🌼🌼🌿🌿🌻🌻

The window display at Andrews is adorable! I am a music teacher and recently did a musical with my first graders. It was all about growing veggies. I stole your window display idea for my backdrop. They turned out so precious! Thanks for the idea and all your videos.

Love all the plants and trees/scrubs you picked up at the garden center. Just beautiful. Love seeing the children and Aaron. Have a blessed day. ❤

Love seeing Samantha run down the stone path at the end ☺️

Beautiful garden center and everything is so so healthy and well maintained. I had a garden shop, not that large, and I know the work that goes into keeping it that way!

Your zen take on the longer cold spell makes me appreciate my weather more. I sometimes watch these videos and wish I had something other than what I do have. Human nature… now I feel very fortunate.

I bought 3 of the Big Bang spirea last year and oh my are they gorgeous waking up!!! I want more of them! Great tour today, soooo wish Andrews was in my town! 😎

I've been to probably hundreds of garden centers and Andrews really does have the most curated stock ever seen. Just imagine how many hours are spent pouring over catalogs or websites BEFORE sending in their order. Mercy! It's understandable why people stand in line to get into the nursery (I've never seen that before!) Yay for GA family and Andrews. 🥰

Love watching tours of your Families nursery ❤❤❤❤

Love shopping with you ! Always good to see your mom ans Monica

It always fun going shopping with you at Andrews, any garden center or antique store for that matter, but definitely your parents' store because I get so excited to see what you're going to select to place in your garden landscape. I'm sure hoping we'll get some of the awesome plants you mentioned at the garden nursery I work at.🤞😄 Thanks for the shopping trip video and your contagious energy, knowledge and love for gardening you always share with us!

The entire west coast is a month behind on bloom and leaf bud times, I’m in San Diego and still have daffodils coming up 😅 I hope we get a tour of your parents garden this year! ❤

I live in a metro area with 3 big garden centers relatively close…multiple big box, hardware stores etc.; NONE of them offer the variety of plants, garden supplies, unique decorations, pots, or even glazed clay saucers! Andrews must be a prized gem in the area; sooo wish I could shop there.♥️

Aaron and Benjamin have been studying! Go, Aaron for knowing the flower's botanical. BENJAMIN!! You have set the bar very high for all other Kindergarten/1st-graders. So impressive!

That is a nice nursery, everything looks so healthy, they take good care of things.

Going home with bunches of plants, oh I love how that feels ❤

Loving the path. Even unfinished it is beautiful 😍

I love these videos at Andrew’s. Love looking at all the plants. ❤

Your children are beautiful they’re just like the Lord’s flowers you can never get enough🙏🏻😇

The lighting at 31:41! Beautiful

I love the garden center tour as we don’t have a garden center that nice close to me. Love watching you all. Good job.

Loving all the unique plants shrubs and trees I seen on this tour!! Makes me so excited to get out and do some shopping!! 😊

Aww it’s always fun going to the garden center with you to see the new flowers/plants sure would love to have seen you plant them all maybe in the next video.

You have the sweetest family. I love the garden center tours.

Good Tuesday morning Laura. The garden's looking absolutely lovely. Thanks so much for the tour ofthe Garden Center. 🌼🌻

Love going to The Garden Center to see all of the new arrivals!! Also, the kiddos are growing so fast!! Can’t wait to see the next video!!

I enjoyed the visit to the nurserie, so many plants some I saw for the first time, thx for tagging us along Laura.

laura you are so blessed!! i love everything you an aaron do!! i wish i had an 1/8 of your plant knowledge

Someone has probably already mentioned it, but the Alnwick rose is named for a place in Northumbria with Alnwick Castle and INCREDIBLE gardens and it is pronounced, Awe nick. They actually filmed some of the quidditch scenes from Harry Potter, as well as some scenes from Downtown Abbey there and when you visit you can do a quidditch event or try some archery. The town and countryside setting is gorgeous. The gardens and fountains were my favourite thing though. A must see for the next time you visit the UK!

Wow that was awesome Laura I enjoyed that tour of your mom's garden center there are so many great plants to pick from

Did you know you can plant onions or garlic between annuals to prevent most of the plant diseases This brings down the maintenance a lot One question are you planning on doing a big vine wall ?cuz that would be a show!!

Pin cushion flowers are my favorite. They do bloom all season long & are so easy.

Enjoying the longer video today ♥️ It’s cold and dreary here in Indiana. Loved watching you fill your cart up and excited to see where to put everything! Thank you as always for sharing with us!
