Hi Laura. I am soon to be 72 years old and as a little boy for a couple years at about 8 or 10 years old, I made wreaths for our house and both of my grandparents houses. Didn't have garden centers, wreath hoops, paddle wire, hot glue guns or anything like Wilt Stop back then. We lived on a farm in Southern Ohio, so I used old barbed wire to make the hoops with. I tore old radios apart, and uncoiled the small copper wire from the transformers and wrapped it on a stick or small piece of scrap wood for my wrapping wire. Sometimes it wouldn't be long enough and I would have to splice on another piece. My one grandmother had some huge Hemlock trees that I simply loved with the small pine cones on them. My Uncle helped me cut some branches, and that is all I had available to use for the wreaths other than a few large pine cones. I attached the branches exactly as you do. When all finished, my Mom helped me make big red bows which I wired to them also. I was so excited and happy to give them to my grandparents, which they hung on their outside doors from Thanksgiving through Christmas. No camera in our family either, so no pictures available, only memories. Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving and the Merriest Christmas! Jim
What a wonderful story. Where there's a will, there's a way. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
What an awesome story! Thanks for sharing!😊
This story warms me to the core 🌲❤️💚.
Aaron and Laura! Please share this story with us in your weekly recap video! Jim, thanks for sharing. I love your ingenuity and creativity!
Wow! Do you have an artist friend who would be willing to make a sketch of your memory? It would make a lovely picture. 🤗
If anyone ever questions if this girl is a professional - look at that !!! Absolute perfection !
I don’t know anyone who would say she wasn’t a professional! I’ve been watching her for years, I am Landscaper because of her! I run the landscaping department for a caesars entertainment property, she is my inspiration and who I’ve learned from. I spend 37k on plants and with her guiding through videos it made it easy for me my first year at the job. I am not a professional, SHE IS.
@@briannayoung2816 that kinda sounds like a dream job!😍
@@briannayoung2816 good for you! That sounds like an awesome, rewarding job. I have been a florist for more than 35 years and I understand that an awesome, rewarding job can also be stressful sometimes. 😉 But, When you enjoy what you do, it makes a job way more worth it for sure! Laura is a HUGE influence and inspiration for me too!🧡
I have my plants and I would like to work like her
Couldn’t agree more!
I’d love to see how your neighbor reacted when you a) showed up at their door with a wreath & b) gifted them said gorgeous wreath hand-made by Laura “herself”! What a blessing you are as a neighbor, a wife & mother, and daughter & sister. You have millions of “friends” on FB & Instagram & RUclips...what it must be like to be a close friend or girlfriend to such a giver & lover of people.
I feel exactly the same as you about Laura!!
❤🎄💚
I’d love to see that too !
Can you imagine realizing you now have Laura and Aaron as neighbors, how wonderful! Thanks 😊
You are one of their neighbors?!?!? LUCKY!!!!!
My friends and I make wreaths from ground pine that we forage! It’s so fun! Outdoors is the place to be! Go get some friends pack snacks go foraging then go back one of your homes build a fire pull out the picnic table and make some wreaths! Thank you for the video. I will be stepping it up when I’m out collecting! 👍
Good morning my beautiful fabulous friend! The wreath turned out beautifully! Thanks for the refresher, I needed that. Hope you are enjoying your weekend and feeling well. 🥰
The Christmas wreath is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for demonstrating the proper method of attaching greenery to a wreath form.
You make it look so easy. Your neighbors will be so happy you gifted them with a beautiful wreath that you made yourself.
You are the only one who makes wreaths that are nice.
Laura, it is beautiful and I can imagine how wonderful it smells too! Your neighbor will be thrilled with your beautiful and generous gift.
Wowzer!! I liked Jim's story, use what you have, do the best you can, makes for a loving memory.
Your a thoughtful lovely neighbor, & how perfect for a welcome gift. A homemade wreath. Watching this I think I could make one for sure. Thanks Laura.
A gorgeous wreath and a really nice welcome gift. Thanks for the tutorial, Laura.
Wow ! I thanks God for let me find you, I just make my first wrist, before watching thise video , it's not bad but definitely I will make another one using your technique ❤❤❤ thank you so much
Love this video, Laura. What a thoughtful gesture for a new neighbor. You have gifted hands of steel!
If A Good Neighbor, Is A Found Treasure ...... Then There's A New Lottery Winner, That's Just Moved In.
The perfect tutorial for natural wreaths. Thank you!
I watch but fail to say how much your excitement and skill inspires me. I love this wreath and that it was from the heart as a gift to a new neighbor. We are all family! Blessings.
As simple as you make this look, why do I have a feeling that mine wouldn’t look like yours? 😉💐
Exactly. Just like a balloon animal... always scratched my head on those and walked away. Lol
You can do it. I have been using her method for several years. Just collect trimmings in your yard if you can, make into little bundles and go to town. I got my wire wreaths at the dollar tree.
Practice makes perfect, im sure the first time in may not...Remember in school how the teacher had this shining example of what we were to do...& then ours never measured up ;)
@@svandervelde4210 I bought mine there too ,I will be copying her soon
You don’t know until you try :-) I made my very first burlap wreath thinking it would turn out hideous. I was wrong! It turned out beautiful! And there’s also something about imperfections that make it perfect. It’s about the process. And fail videos are hilarious and good for a laugh too! :-)
Heeheeheee, I forgot to watch yesterday’s video, soooo now I’ve got a fresh Sunday video to go with my morning tea🫖 so happy 😁
Hi Laura, greetings from Serbia ! So amazing the result, you are amazing !
I love your show! Every year my daughters and I ado wreaths @ a historic farm. I watch your video before we go, to refresh my memory! We’ve used wire frames, wire clothes hangers & grapevines wreaths as our frames. The farm provides all kinds of interesting greens, flowers, seed pods, etc. it’s fun and now a tradition for us!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
Question- what do Mary and Dennis (the previous owners) think about your property now with all the changes y'all have made? Including buying the new property? I'm guessing they are as amazed as we are at how beautiful it's turning out.
I start my day every day with your videos, and watch old videos before bed! 💜💜💜
I have covid19 currently and am watching all Garden answer videos once again to shorten my recovery time with some great videos!
Love it❤️
Thank you for this, Laura! My six year-old little boy and I are headed out to forage in our mountains and he wanted a little idea of what we would be creating. This was terrific!
I wanna be your neighbor.
Me too
Me too!!
she talked about selling and moving, guess you can buy her property in a few years. I wonder who would take on such a property and probably doubled in value with such a garden.
was just getting ready to type the same thing! Beautiful wreath! Wish I had some berry bushes!
Me too. I would give her all my suculents that I have in my channel and learn how she works
I just now sat down so I could watch the video. I have always wanted to make a wreath, but I looked at them and said to completely difficult. Only you make it look easier than I thought. Now I am going to try one.😊
It's beautiful, thank you and thank you for your clear pronunciation and explanations, even for a non-native English speaker, it's easy to understand you.
Your video is the perfect teaching tool for left-handers because we are seeing the mirror image of your work.
🎄Another Saturday morning with my coffee and Laura. And the holiday videos are the best! Laura, I’m ‘of a certain age’ when new neighbors moved in we always welcomed them with a ‘gift’ of some sort, and having been welcomed once myself, I can tell you it means the world! Thank you for your kind heart and welcoming soul. And thank you for showing this gesture of giving the beautiful wreath to the neighbors! I know they are elated to know you and Aaron and Benjamin and soon, Baby Girl. Have a lovely weekend and God bless ❤️☕️🤶🏻

When we moved from California to Oregon 25 years ago, our neighbors gifted us with a homemade Marionberry pie. That kind gesture was something that has become part of our family's story. The neighbors who gave us that pie became local grandparents to my young boys. Their example of welcoming new neighbors has lived on, though sadly they are no longer with us. We should never underestimate the power of a thoughtful act. Thank you for sharing your story, Dee, and for underscoring the importance of welcoming others into any circle. Laura has a similar heart and inspires so many to be intentional about doing small things to make a difference. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for teaching us how to make these beautiful wreaths! I feel like I can tackle a wreath project now. ❤️
Jim what a wonderful story and memory for you. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
So pretty Laura! Thank you for making this. You're a natural teacher! Much love! ❤
Lucky neighbor! I have my wire and form I just have to go on a scavenger hunt! Thanks Laura❤️
Oh the wreath looks so AMAZING!!! I absolutely didn’t expect the end result to be so gorgeous ❤️
I spent all weekend decorating our house for Christmas. Got 5 trees up and on 2 of them I completely reworked what I always do because I love your trees so much. So now, instead of just out in my garden, I now am taking it up a level inside. Told my husband our new phrase (said with love) is "dammit, Laura!" 🤣 I hope you have a very happy holiday and get some rest! I'm thankful for discovering Garden Answer this year. ❤
What a beautiful wreath, just on its own, and a brilliant demonstration. Also, what a lovely gesture giving it to your new neighbour. That’s what I love about the Americans, they always so generous.
Your new neighbors will love it.😊
This was very helpful! Really appreciate the mix of overhead and front facing angles for the camera work. So much easier to see what’s happening! Hope you will start to show flower arranging in the same format. I would find that very helpful also! Thanks again for all you guys share!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 😍. Laura, you make it look so easy, you are awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this. I pray you're feeling well.
Making wreaths for my neighbours was top of weekend To Do list , elderly gentleman on one side and family with 2 toddlers on the other. A bit of neighbourly colouring the holidays and cheering things up.... Christmas cake is slowly baking in oven
You do such beautiful work! What a wonderful welcome to the neighborhood gift. You are one of my favorite channels to watch.
Just hung my wreath with wisteria vines, Rose of Sharon seed twigs, cedar boughs, pine cone branches and holly and Privet hedge berry branches. It’s huge and lit with little white lights and a big red bow. No wire or glue and it’s in the front window outside . Two friends and one neighbor already asked how much it cost and where I got it from! I’ll take that as a win! Thanks for the inspiration!
These are by far my favourite wreaths on RUclips. I followed your instructions from a few years ago and I made my first Christmas wreath last year. The best part was taking my four year old also named Ben into the woods to cut the fir branches to make it. He and I both loved it. We will be doing it again this week thanks for the update. I just need to get some wreathing making plants in my back yard so I have my own supplies.
What a thoughtful gift during this unsettling time.Just beautiful. Lucky new neighbor
Wreath so elegant. So Christmas. Looks like a Christmas card
Thank you! I had been looking for information on how long it would take someone to make a wreathe for a story I am writing and this video demonstrates not only the time but technique perfectly. Liked and subbed!
One year, during the after Christmas clearance sales, I purchased more than a dozen wreath forms (the18" size) from Walmart for fifty cents each! Wow, talk about a bargain! My daughters and I are still making pretty wreaths using those wreath forms! If I use fresh greenery, I just take the wreath apart after the Holidays and reuse the wire form again the following year. Thanks for the tip about spraying the fresh greenery with Wilt Stop, I will have to get some of that! Laura, you are putting me in the Christmas decorating mood, I really needed the motivation this year. Thank you, and God Bless you for being such a sweet and caring soul! ~Margie
Everything you do turns out so beautiful, whereas I seem to make a mess. I need a video of Laura bloopers! That is a beautiful wreath and I really want to try making one.
hey Laura! this is the nicest wreath I've ever seen... and I've seen A LOT of wreaths. Thank you for your service.
This video reminded me to go back and watch the horse wreath video again that you made a couple years back. That was the coolest thing! Your projects are always so creative and beautiful!
beautiful i would like to try and make one myself ,world need more neighbours like Laura🤗
It's a really beautiful wreath and you make it look simple. The sign of someone who really knows what they are doing!
What a lovely wreath! The most beautiful I have ever seen. Thank you so much, Laura!
That wreath turned out beautiful. Lucky neighbors. I'm adding it to my to do list. Love it!
Blessed neighbors! Thanks for this tutorial. Appreciate THIS! Beautiful! 🤩
First time to see someone put together a wreath that I think I could do. Thanks.
I went out last week and gathered, cedar, juniper with so many pretty blue berries and ponderosa pine boughs and made myself my first wreath and hung it on our chicken coop door, and also did a old window frame and made a little decorative hanging for the entrance. Thanks so much for the inspiration and instructions. I plan to do garland as well. I am all about natural greenery this year. Even the cow corral is getting some swags haha.
Loved it!!!! And how cute with a string of microdot lights woven in!
After watching you make the lavender wreath I took the eucalyptus garland from my son’s wedding and made a wreath! Your detailed instructions made it so easy. Thank you 😊
You will always be blessed because you are a blessing to so many. Beautiful wreath.
This is such a simple organized way to make a wreath- thank you! This is one that would cost at least $100 dollars if you purchased at a floral shop! BEAUTIFUL!
wow!!! That is absolutely STUNNING!!! You are so creative!
I paused video at 2mins amd gathered around my yard and my garden neighbors yards. I came up with pine (no clue what kind), beautiful amd perfect diff sized pinecones, cypress tree and my personal endless supply of magnolia leaves. My holly bishes wont have berries until after Christmas so Ill have to get those for color, but I'm excited! Ive clipped them and put it a bucket of water, Hopefully they will be ok until I can get to it in 3-4 days. Store tomorrow for wire, wreath hanger, holly and wilt stop.
Mine will look just like Laura's! Haha. A girl can dream. Im atleast giving it a few tries. The best part is it's almost all from around my home amd free. Also, I now pay closer attention and notice my magnolia leaves DO feel lile felt on the underside.
Gorgeous. You are a great teacher.
Love this bundle method. So simple. I’ve always done it one piece at a time
You always make it look so easy. I know for you it is because you have done so many.
Beautiful!! You are such a great instructor.
I love it Laura. Now I know how to make it evenly by overlapping them in and out. I was always wonder how they make it looks proportion. Thank u so much for sharing how. Luv ya. ❤️😍
So,so pretty and festive! Your neighbors will love it!
Thank you for the refresher! Now I need to go cut pine boughs & gather supplies!! I always enjoy making my own wreaths since I watched the video from a couple of years ago!! Each year I make my wreaths, they look better & better!! Now I need to go back & watch the video on making a bows! 😁🎄🎅🤶🧑🎄🌿
Oh the Christmas 🎄 music 🎶 feels more joyful this year than ever, I think!
I’ve made a wreath before with some clipping from a friends fresh Xmas tree and it smelt so nice!
I loved this video Laura, love holly and the greens you picked so full and beautiful!
@GardenAnswer Hi Laura! What is the name of the spray you use for your wreath to keep it fresh? I just missed the name when you mentioned on your video. Thanks!
Lucky neighbors......The little white nodes on the tips of the Incense Cedar are seeds....that develop into tiny one inch cones that are also pretty to decorate with..when they are still attached...I have native Cedar trees in my yard, and always wait to prune them around the first of December....many Holiday uses for the branches...
“Pretty good” she says🤣 More like absolutely stunning!!! I think I need to move so I can plant these bigger types of trees!
That turned out perfect. The ivy really adds a lot. We don't have it here , so I guess we could order it. Your neighbors are lucky people. Thank you for the demonstration! Joyce
Mmmmm coffee with Laura and a cat in the sun along with making a beautiful wreath. Your neighbors will be so thrilled to have that for their door and such a nice welcome gift. One of these days I will try a wreath and I am glad your videos are so through as I will probably have one on as I attempt to follow along! Thanks for the inspiration.
My brother and I used to go out into the woods and gather princess pine ground cover and make wreaths. It was alot of fun but boy did I learn to wear long sleeves when doing so after getting abrasion rashes all over my arms! It was so festive...I think you've inspired me to get back out there and do it again! It's probably been close to 20 years so THANK YOU!
Love watching you make wreaths, thank you
Love the simplicity of the wreath. Beautiful as usual.
That's the most beautiful wreath I have ever seen.
Wow preciosa corona....!!!!! Muchas gracias 💖🌲🌿🍃🙋♀️
Gorgeous wreath! Love the combination of greens. I'm inspired to try!
Laura that wreath is beautiful I wish I was the one that moved in near you.I bet your new neighbors are going to love that house warming gift 🏡
This is so beautiful. I usually like more color but this wreath is very beautiful and natural.
Laura, you make everything look so simple, but that just illustrates your talents and creative gift! It is a skill I do t naturally possess, but what I will say, is that you have given me the tools and courage to try and replicate many of your amazing projects. Thank you for the inspiration 🤗 BTW, the wreath is gorgeous!
Thank you for this! I just made my first wreath with white pine greens that blew down in a recent wind storm. The wreath is hanging on the front door, and I feel so happy!
bonjour,cela fait un moment que je regarde vos vidéo et je vous remercie pour la variété. Celle ci va me permettre de faire une belle décoration. merci beaucoup, bonne journée à vous
You are so entertaining as u do your work, I love the instructions you have given us as well. Beautiful wreath, Laura!
Beautiful wreath and wonderful directions!! I’m looking forward to trying one this year! Your neighbors are lucky to be next door! Love y’all’s channel and so appreciate your positivity!
Love your handmade wreath! I can almost smell it! Great info. I appreciate seeing what the professionals make.👏🙏😷🦃🎄
You rock! I learn something every day watching your videos.
I just love watching your videos on repeat.. u have very pleasant smile and voice and off course ur amazing talent. Thank you for sharing this.
Loved the wreathe you made. It’s seems simple. Thanks. Andrea
When you order your greens, how do they come...by the lb or bundle? How many would you order for that size wreath?
❤️🎄 Simply beautiful. The combination of greenery and holly is so pretty together. Love it.
Hey Sweet Laura ♡♡♡ I want to Thank you so very much for sharing your Beautiful Wreath with us♡♡♡ GOD BLESS EVERYONE ♡♡♡ Have A Wonderful Blessed Peaceful Evening ♡♡♡ GOD IS SO GOOD♡♡♡
I found 300 yards of red velvet wired ribbon.. Hahaha.. I'm gonna put bows on everything!
Love the wreath! So much easier than the wire dry cleaners hanger stretched into a circle I used as a girl to make our wreath..
One year we cut down a beautiful Holly Tree to use as our Christmas Tree. It was Beautiful.. But the warm house destroyed it. But for a week it was lovely..
Wow, what a beautiful and very fun project! I’m excited to make one! Thank you so much!🌲❤️
Laura, it was fun and enjoyable. Thanks for your beautiful demonstration.
