    Laura is the Bob Ross of gardening. Very calm and excited to jump into a project and see where it leads with many happy little accidents along the way turning into true beauty. 💗

    You never cease to amaze me at how much you can squeeze into a container, Laura. I looked at all those plants and thought….she’s got to be kidding….no way…..especially that first large plant you placed in the corner. But in true Laura fashion you did it! I should know better than to doubt you…..ever. That is one gorgeous succulent arrangement. She must’ve been overjoyed when she saw it. This was a great learning experience. Thank you. 😊💖🦋🕊

      You should watch another Laura - Laura Eubanks, Design for Serenity, on youtube. She does succulent gardens. She also crams plants, cuttings etc into her landscapes and planters.

    I thought you might get Aaron to jerk your Weeping Willow out of the ground and put it in with the arrangement...lol. Your sister in law is one lucky lady to walk into her new home and find this BEAUTIFUL arrangement of succulents sitting on her cabinet. ❤️ She'll never guess who they're from..lol. You have a heart of gold and I can't say that about many people that I know. Hope Aaron is feeling better.

    ☕️Good morning Laura and all GA friends from windy, rainy, chilly southeast Michigan. I wish the best for our Florida friends, and all who are being touched by the hurricane. This is a great video, Laura, and beautiful gift for your SIL! I am always amazed at your artful crafting skills using so many different plants and containers. I hope everyone has a wonderful new season 🌻🧡🍁🍂🌻

    If you put down a piece of masking tape before drilling, the drill bit won't slip. Also better to be drilled from the inside (on top of a wood chock) so there's no burr after drilling.

    • @ritasicari7518
      @ritasicari7518 2 года назад

      Could also punch a dimple in it with an awl first to keep the bit from wandering.

    • @titosrevenger
      @titosrevenger 2 года назад +2

      It's also much easier on you and your drill bits to start with a smaller hole and then ream out a bigger hole with progressively larger bits.

    OH LAURA! Thanks for the Home Depot 50% off tip on the succulents! I actually ran over to ours up here in the Seattle area and guess what? They are on sale here too! Woot. Now that's company-wide consistency! Going to throw together a nice arrangement like what you've done so I can place on our covered patio table. Thanks for the instructional vid!

    Yay!! I’m an ophthalmologist (who loves gardening!). I was so happy to see you put on those protective glasses when drilling. Thanks for always inspiring us to look ahead to new things. Just as I was starting to get bummed that the outdoor growing season was coming to an end, you came along with this wonderful reminder of the beautiful growing we can do indoors as well. What a sweet gift for a new homeowner! ❤

    Oh, my gracious! Laura, you are a beast!! You have a true talent for seeing the potential in things. I was a total doubter that you could even fit the mangave into the container ...at all. And yet, it only took up a small bit of a corner. The mangave anchored the arrangement beautifully and became the perfect central point of focus. An absolutely gorgeous arrangement.

I’d love to see one where the plants are spaced out and look kind of like the desert, with some sort of top dressing small gravel. Thanks for all you do.
