Had a bit of a moment these were one of my mum's favourite flowers cos they beautiful fresh and dried. I remember sitting with her whilst she made a wreath and being entranced. I was 6 she passed a year later. I think next year I shall grow a patch
@allison groves ~ My heart breaks for you, reading that you lost your Mother, at the age of 7.😢😭😭 I can't even fathom how many gatherings, life events, etc were so lonely, for you, without her. I hope that you had a "substitute" Mother in your life. GREATTT BIGGG HUGS 🫂
@@kimberleyfrasquillo3684 family is not just a physical thing for me and my family, it's the memories and stories that you take along with you. I was fortunate at the time to have a dad who understood the task and stepped up. And a community who also helped guide and nurture my sister and I. But my favourite thing I remember of mums, as a professional horticulturist 'Life is like a garden with lots of different flowers and plants. Our family, come from one set but we grew and changed, we took cuttings and we cross pollinate and every time there is a new plant it's a bit stronger, less likely to get hit by pests and disease.

@@allisong6 ~ I love your positive outlook, regarding such a horrific life event for you, your sister and Father. I am very very happy to hear that your Father and Community stepped up for you and your sister. I hope your sister adapted as well as you have. As a 6-7 year old, that would be gobbledygook. As a 62 year old 🙋🏼♀️, I absolutely LOVE those words. Family roots do grow deep and spread. Have a Blessed day, Allison!
Years ago I had a dried flower shop and dried flowers went out of style. I am so glad that they are back!! I still have so much of my things in storage. Baskets, wreath forms and such. You have inspired me to get back at it and make things for at least friends and family. 😊
I have always loved dried flowers and have several books about them from the 80's and such. Love them and thrilled that they're returning to greater public notice. I have bunches of white and mandarin orange gomphrena & copper red strawflowers hanging to dry. Cannot wait to use them in a wreath or something. Oh, one of my favorite books is 'The Book of Pressed Flowers, A Complete Guide to Pressing, Drying and Arranging' by Penny Black, 1988 edition. So inspiring.
Love, love, love you doing these projects. That’s what got me hooked into your channel. Was great fun to see you guys out tramping and discovering in your new property too - you’re so real, natural and down to earth and I smiled lots. Off to re-watch. Thank you!
Love watching your videos. Have learned a ton! Thank you.!!!! One request can you get better background music? It is torture. Silence is better lol. Do what you want but just a thought.
My favorite shots in each video are when Laura smiles as she is working. She makes everything look effortless and like its not 100 degrees out. This was a lovely project.
It was fun getting to see the Wild area in “the back 40”! That flower drying wrack turned out so nice! Looks really good! And may I say, I am a fan of the natural wood color of the walls in the shed. I can see that a “white wash” finish would look good, too. 💚💚💚
I absolutely love the natural wood rack with jute and the hanging flowers are prettier than a picture on the wall! I truely enjoyed this entire video seeing you foraging around your new land and talking of future plans for the hidden magical area for the children! I always enjoy your videos but this one especially inspired me! Thank you for sharing your escapades. I hope you do the one with your mom that you spoke of in this video.
Good morning, Laura ☕️ What a fun, gorgeous project! That land is huge! You could “rent” goats and they would eat all the scrubby brush 😂 Those wreaths are going to be gorgeous 😍 and, your mom is so good at wreath making so, perfect partner! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
@@Meraxeshandler I did not know a rental company would do that. I know about Premier 1 fencing with the solar box to keep livestock in the fencing. I didn't think Laura would spend a few hundred dollars for a temporary fence she may never use again. I know goats won't cross the water side but not sure about sheep.
I love the rack! Yes, a few more in there would be so cute and the contrast of the rustic racks with the crystal chandelier is perfect! Can’t wait to see some lavender hanging from them!
Thank you Laura for such an awesome video, as you would say . Your enthusiasm is beautiful.Keep up your great work dear Laura , what you do is wonderful.💕
Me (a beginner gardener) after watching this video: I think I need a flower shed so I can have a tree-branch rack hanging from the ceiling to dry flowers... Seriously you have been such an inspiration despite this heat spell we are going through that has taken many of my plants you give me the energy I need to get up and maintain my garden and keep it pretty, thank you so much 😊 I have learned so much from you guys
❤️I was honored to be asked to make heart shaped ❤️wreathes from my daughter in laws statice garden , for my son’s wedding! So easy to form because of the gentle arching curve of the blooms. ❤️
In a flash, all my Girl Scout skills came back. Trail blazing in the wilderness and lashing branches to make tables and hanging storage for campsite! Fun, fun....
'Mornin' from northern Ohio. Enjoyed your project today. Reminds me of doing the same thing in an old barn 40 years ago. You brought back warm memories for me. FYI - I really like the natural wood siding in your flower shed. Hoping you don't paint over it !( It doesn't come across as orange at all). Gives a warm feel to your space.
@genny chapn, Northeastern OH (Painesville) born gal here.🙋🏼♀️ What town are you in? I loved Ohio when I was growing up, as it has 4 seasons. Moved to Arizona, at 21, to be with my parents and 3 brothers, whom all had moved there when I was 18 and got married. Experiencing an Arizona Winter, made me realize that I didn't like the snow, as an adult. 😉🤪🥶☃️⛄️
♥️♥️♥️ Wait.... What???? Did anyone else hear skunks live back here and secret fort for the kids in the same video?? 😳 😊 The new property looks like a wonderful new adventure! I'm on team "don't paint the walls in the flower shed"! Another wonderfully inspiring video!! ♥️♥️♥️
I really, really enjoyed this so much! You made the drying frame so pretty and of course the flowers are beautiful! I love your gorgeous land there! I’m glad you are planning play areas in the edge of the trees for your kids to play. They will love that! My cousins and I had an area similar to that where we caught frogs, had pet rabbits, kittens, and the most wonderful time. I easily imagine times like that for your children in your beautiful area! 🌱🌸🌿
So FUN!!! I wouldn't touch it! Leave it right there! It's absolutely perfect 🥰. You're right, that's what a garden shed should look like. At least in my mind! That would probably be really fun for your Mom if she's up to it to make wreaths!
Greetings, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 Wow! Impressive drying rack 💪 Flora-life is what we used in our Flower Shop. And I always loved statice, even though it was considered a common filler only. Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾 👍
This was a mindfully filmed and concisely edited integrated Project - from inception to completion ... including directions and corrections! That you've been consistently remarkable and genuinely humble is a gift you give to us all each morning. You are, indeed, a true joy, Laura ... and an integral part of a rather exceptional team!!!
@jess ~ OMGEEEEEE, chiggers are THE WORST!!!!!🤪🤪🤪😭😭 I experienced them, for the first and hopefully only time, when I went to visit family in Texas.... 😱🤯👹🙅🏼♀️ They are Demon 👹 Spawn.... I hope you don't have to deal with them.🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Can't wait to see how the wreaths turn out!!! Love the drying rack you built, it turned out perfectly! I'm glad you mentioned how easy it was to grow from seed. I've been hesitant to try it, but not anymore! Those bunches are just gorgeous!!! ;)
I think in the middle between the cabinets you should do just a long branch. Not a ladder, just 1 branch and hang lavender and some antique garden tools from it. It would be such a pretty backdrop.
I love this. I like using found things to make something natural and very special. Next year I need to plant statice. I planted straw flowers for the first time ever this year, thanks to you. I have them drying in my utility room. Not as pretty as the Cut Flower Shed but I’m hoping to use them in a wreath for fall. I love your enthusiasm and energy. You are amazing. 🥰
I have to say, I love the natural wood on the walls! And with your teaser, I can’t wait for further flower shed videos-wreath making with Mom, dried flower hanging, etc. Let’s get this party started!
This is ingenious! Love all your videos... I was looking at your rack up high, and I bet you could use longer mounting cords and have a tiedown at an easy to reach location, and be able to lower to a working height, then raise it up to dry/store. Raise/lower as needed 😀 less ladder work! Just a thought!
Good morning Laura and Garden Answer followers! I'm going to say it again, this little flower shed, I could stay in there all day. And this has been so much inspiration for my little building (still in the planning phases), but will be my pottingshed, winter greenhouse, and flower shed. Mine will face south, but will have windows on three sides, North, East and South. Will be attached to my little log cabin. In my retirement, my office now. MY HAPPY PLACE. OK, I have had my inspiration, now into my gardens. All have a great day!!!
Hi Laura & Aaron, When I first started to watch your channel (thank you because you will never know how much you have helped me) the land around you had tumbleweed in them and I remember them rolling around everywhere. My question: Laura you mentioned how you are not going to do much to your new-new property, will this new land grow tumbleweed? Love your videos, our temperature has gone back up (never mind what the weather app etc says) and I have noticed so many tender flowers have gone crispy. Some places in the uk 🇬🇧 have hose pipe bans and I’m praying we don’t get banned. We are due to have some low temperatures, so I now feel your pain regarding temperature. Love to you all, especially your mum. I know I’m late but; I love your mum in your videos because she is so happy and funny. My favourite video of your mum is where she was supposed to be recording you reversing the truck. But she was recording herself, oh my goodness that still makes me laugh 😆. I love the foraging for foliage and having a picnic, and always love the videos where you both go antiquing. Question: What’s one of Susan’s favourite video of you both? I know I’m late in submitting my question.
What a bountiful harvest, the gator is overflowing! The drying rack came out spectacular! It definitely looks as though it belongs there - I hope you make more!!👍👏💃
Love, love, love your flower shed. Those drying hangers are ingenious but add color and beauty to your space. Can't wait to see the Static wreaths as you make such beautiful wreaths. Take care......missed seeing the cats today.
Loved this, Laura... The statice are beautiful. We had statice bushes when we lived in SLO , Ca., But they ( the bush type, that is don't do good up over the Grade here in high desert where we live now in Atascadero, Ca.) You know where to find your kids from now on......they will always want to be "down by the river" ....our daughter went with another girl and a boy "up into the foothills in SLO, CA. from their elementary school instead of coming home when school was over or was it at recess? This was 46 years ago ... What the kids didn't know was that wild boar roam those hills the teachers couldn't leave and the police and CHP and parents were out looking for those kids. Finally they found them before dark...right at dusk, I believe . They of course couldn't understand what all the fuss was about .. .
I love seeing ya’ll scoot around on your little gator. I can just imagine Benjamin driving it one day. I love the new flower shed. I really enjoy seeing all the arrangements you put together.
I had an idea (for myself) but thought how much Laura would like my idea to have a beautiful dedicated “foot wash station “ it would be used by the kids too right? Shallow oversized beautiful sink bowl and it sits on rocks, have flowers, petals, a candle maybe. And could also be used as foot soak. I’m going to post this until I’m sure you’ve seen this lol. you would inspire others to make your own self care 😍😍😍😍😍
Great idea for hanging the flowers 😃. Love it that is all natural. Did you ever think of doing a pulley system, you can lower it then pull it back and you don’t need a ladder!
And, even though your creation was great, antique wooden ladders would work and woukd be good and robust on a pulley system. An antiquing trip is in order! 😀 You can even find old wooden pulley wheels in antique shops.
Hi Laura, cute idea you could also hang an old ladder from the ceiling plus you can sit baskets on top of the ladder for more storage . Love all you do, love the calm your videos bring to this hectic world. 😊❤
Well Laura, you have outdone yourself with your creativity and enthusiasm. Thank you for another great video and a beautiful start to my day (as usual). 🌞🌞🌞
This compliment is for Aaron and Ken. You guys pick the best music for videos. Watching Laura pick flowers and listening to the beautiful music is so calming to my soul. Thank you both for your parts in making the videos so enjoyable to watch. And thank you, too, Laura! :)
Oh Laura what a gentleman Aaron is coming to help you get those branches. Wow and your flower drying rack turned out perfect! Oh and the flowers hung on it way better than hanging a picture. I agree with you.
The cut flower shed is absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰. I love the natural walls. I know you were toying around with the idea of painting the walls......I would keep.them as is. They pop against the white cabinets and other furniture.
Laura your talents are endless! I love what you’ve done with the hanger to drive hours though! You brought back a very fond memory for me this morning. My boys grew up way back in the 1970s, with a irrigation ditch running through the property about the same distance from our house as yours.hslightly closer) they played outside is the time as I think you did when you were growing up. They were always required to tell me where they would be. They would holler as they went out The door” we’re going to the forest mom!l. They would spend half a day there in their own little forest. Their dad snuck over there a few times just to make sure they weren’t up to any mischief, and they never were. They had a few trucks and other toys over there to play with and also just build their own little shelters. What a wonderful memory and it all came flooding back this morning watching this video. Oh they grow up so fast Laura.💕☺️
Hi Laura, thanks for sharing. I am impressed with the easy drying rack you assembled. I’m encouraged to grow statices next year up here in North Idaho. I remember this flower as a staple flower in the Monterey Peninsula landscapes and have not considered growing it where I’m currently living. I look forward to your wreath making video!
Your drying rack is so perfect in that spot. When you and your mom make the dry wreaths a large one would be beautiful on your back wall of the cutting shed.
Hi Laura! The drying rack turned out really nice. I agree that you need one on the other side, too. One between the hutches would look good, too. I hope your Mom can help make the wreaths. It's always fun seeing her in videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
Laura. I have a very small circle of select friends and family that I keep in touch with. Checking in with you and the family from time to time is a blessing and a honor!🥰💕🤗💕 It was divine how we met. This I know. God promises to order our steps when we allow and trust Him to. I am very grateful for your friendship!🙏🏾💕 Thank you for teaching me so much about gardening. I miss gardening so much.😢 So peaceful.🥰 I do pray God blesses me to garden again.🙏🏾💕🙄💭
I love and and all GA videos but this was especially fun! Going into the new property and seeing something new and different was just so nice! Even though it was short it felt like going on an adventure with Laura haha so fun! We even discovered there is a walnut tree together! How fun!! And I love hearing all the fun facts like about the skunks and he horses and the dich... I hope to see more exploring of the new property haha! Also that end result looks SOO good! I agree, you should have one on each side and in the back of the shed!! Incredible how creative and clever you are! ❤💚💜
The flower shed "look" really started with this drying rack, love it! The wood walls will really come into their own as you add these touches. Rootin' for the wood walls.
I agree doing another rack on the opposite side is a Great idea! I thought of my grape vines, they would work too. So many fun times you'll have in your green house!. 😊💙💜💛💚😎
In Victorian times Statice was known/ meant for memory and remembrance, and in Australia as far as I know was often used as flowers in cemeteries for that reason. I grew up knowing it as a cemetery flower, planted around graves
@Sandra David ~ Does that make you sad, Sandra, and not want to grow any statice? Or do you like it for the remembrance factor? I'm curious what your view of it is.
I love how you throw other opinions out there Meanwhile you always stay true to yourself and continue just to “Do You Laura!”That’s a quality I so admire about you! Your a hard worker- Lady MacGyver- hott mom and also hott teacher you just got it all! ✨🤍
It's great that you have a wild naturaly grown area that all of you can explore and have unbridled fun in. :-) You can go "woodsying " in your own back yard. I love that "natural" drying rack.
In true Laura fashion, she made something beautiful out of nothing! So impressed! That flower shed is a dream ✨

My favourite video of your mum is where she was supposed to be recording you reversing the truck. But she was recording herself, oh my goodness that still makes me laugh 😆.
I love the foraging for foliage and having a picnic, and always love the videos where you both go antiquing.
Question: What’s one of Susan’s favourite video of you both?
I know I’m late in submitting my question.
Hello 👋 Sue, how are you doing? I hope you’re having a fantastic day ?
Hello sue👋
What a bountiful harvest, the gator is overflowing! The drying rack came out spectacular! It definitely looks as though it belongs there - I hope you make more!!👍👏💃
Love, love, love your flower shed.
Those drying hangers are ingenious but add color and beauty to your space.
Can't wait to see the Static wreaths as you make such beautiful wreaths.
Take care......missed seeing the cats today.
Oh my yes!! Do two more...I can see dried roses, cone flower heads etc....nice job!
You go crafty girl😉
Turned out soo cute!! The kids are going to love that new property!! Great job again, love all your projects!!
Skunks 🦨 who’d have thought? I kept thinking snakes! Lovin’ the simplicity of the handmade rack!
Perfect timing and what a fun decoration for the end of summer.
I agree with that!
Loved this, Laura... The statice are beautiful. We had statice bushes when we lived in SLO , Ca., But they ( the bush type, that is don't do good up over the Grade here in high desert where we live now in Atascadero, Ca.) You know where to find your kids from now on......they will always want to be "down by the river" ....our daughter went with another girl and a boy "up into the foothills in SLO, CA. from their elementary school instead of coming home when school was over or was it at recess? This was 46 years ago ... What the kids didn't know was that wild boar roam those hills the teachers couldn't leave and the police and CHP and parents were out looking for those kids. Finally they found them before dark...right at dusk, I believe . They of course couldn't understand what all the fuss was about .. .
I am always drying my roses!
I love seeing ya’ll scoot around on your little gator. I can just imagine Benjamin driving it one day. I love the new flower shed. I really enjoy seeing all the arrangements you put together.
Drying flowers that we use for art and crafts and to decorate gifts with is a fun activity I do with my 9 year old.
I had an idea (for myself) but thought how much Laura would like my idea to have a beautiful dedicated “foot wash station “ it would be used by the kids too right? Shallow oversized beautiful sink bowl and it sits on rocks, have flowers, petals, a candle maybe. And could also be used as foot soak. I’m going to post this until I’m sure you’ve seen this lol. you would inspire others to make your own self care 😍😍😍😍😍
I love how the rack looks like a whimsical flower chandelier. Thanks for showing us another beautiful DIY project 🌺
You're going to have so much fun drying flowers, the rack looks so pretty. You always end up with such fantastic wreaths for your house and for gifts.
That's not far from the truth!
Romancing the ordinary! Looks beautiful!!!
Great idea for hanging the flowers 😃. Love it that is all natural. Did you ever think of doing a pulley system, you can lower it then pull it back and you don’t need a ladder!
And, even though your creation was great, antique wooden ladders would work and woukd be good and robust on a pulley system. An antiquing trip is in order! 😀 You can even find old wooden pulley wheels in antique shops.
I absolutely love this. I can visualize on whole drying rack of lavender across the back wall.
Hi Laura, cute idea you could also hang an old ladder from the ceiling plus you can sit baskets on top of the ladder for more storage . Love all you do, love the calm your videos bring to this hectic world. 😊❤
You can always use chain to adjust your shelf!
Well Laura, you have outdone yourself with your creativity and enthusiasm. Thank you for another great video and a beautiful start to my day (as usual). 🌞🌞🌞
Hello 👋 Vicki, how are you doing? I hope you’re having a fantastic day ?
This compliment is for Aaron and Ken. You guys pick the best music for videos. Watching Laura pick flowers and listening to the beautiful music is so calming to my soul. Thank you both for your parts in making the videos so enjoyable to watch. And thank you, too, Laura! :)
Holy moly who knew a flower shed could be so beautiful?! Love your talent, ideas, tips and shares Laura and Arron.
8:25 Was I the only one who got excited for a second, thinking the grass had already sprouted in the orchard? 🤣🤣😅
The flowers you chose to harvest are beautiful
Oh Laura what a gentleman Aaron is coming to help you get those branches. Wow and your flower drying rack turned out perfect! Oh and the flowers hung on it way better than hanging a picture. I agree with you.
The cut flower shed is absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰. I love the natural walls. I know you were toying around with the idea of painting the walls......I would keep.them as is. They pop against the white cabinets and other furniture.
Love this💗💗💗Everything is perfect💗💗💗Thank you!!! Your enthusiasm is contagious!!!
Laura your talents are endless! I love what you’ve done with the hanger to drive hours though! You brought back a very fond memory for me this morning. My boys grew up way back in the 1970s, with a irrigation ditch running through the property about the same distance from our house as yours.hslightly closer) they played outside is the time as I think you did when you were growing up. They were always required to tell me where they would be. They would holler as they went out The door” we’re going to the forest mom!l. They would spend half a day there in their own little forest. Their dad snuck over there a few times just to make sure they weren’t up to any mischief, and they never were. They had a few trucks and other toys over there to play with and also just build their own little shelters. What a wonderful memory and it all came flooding back this morning watching this video. Oh they grow up so fast Laura.💕☺️
Hi Laura, thanks for sharing. I am impressed with the easy drying rack you assembled. I’m encouraged to grow statices next year up here in North Idaho. I remember this flower as a staple flower in the Monterey Peninsula landscapes and have not considered growing it where I’m currently living. I look forward to your wreath making video!
Your drying rack is so perfect in that spot. When you and your mom make the dry wreaths a large one would be beautiful on your back wall of the cutting shed.
Hi Laura! The drying rack turned out really nice. I agree that you need one on the other side, too. One between the hutches would look good, too. I hope your Mom can help make the wreaths. It's always fun seeing her in videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
I just found your channel and I love it.You have given me so many ideas.
Hi, Laura! I love you, my friend & sister!🥰🙏🏾💕🤗
That is so weird.👀🙄💭
Yeah. But where are the other 3 replies I sent already?
I was just thanking you for your sisterhood and friendship!🥰 But for some reason that message and two others I sent are missing.👀🙄💭
Laura. I have a very small circle of select friends and family that I keep in touch with. Checking in with you and the family from time to time is a blessing and a honor!🥰💕🤗💕
It was divine how we met. This I know. God promises to order our steps when we allow and trust Him to. I am very grateful for your friendship!🙏🏾💕
Thank you for teaching me so much about gardening. I miss gardening so much.😢 So peaceful.🥰 I do pray God blesses me to garden again.🙏🏾💕🙄💭
I love seeing you use natural items to make the things you need rather than buying. I need to do this more!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! I vote yes for a drying rack on the opposite side. So cute, simple, and perfect for the space! ❤ ❤ ❤
I love and and all GA videos but this was especially fun! Going into the new property and seeing something new and different was just so nice! Even though it was short it felt like going on an adventure with Laura haha so fun! We even discovered there is a walnut tree together! How fun!! And I love hearing all the fun facts like about the skunks and he horses and the dich... I hope to see more exploring of the new property haha! Also that end result looks SOO good! I agree, you should have one on each side and in the back of the shed!! Incredible how creative and clever you are! ❤💚💜
Awesome idea! It would be cool if you could rig a pully system so you can raise and lower it without a ladder! I will be trying this out!
The flower shed "look" really started with this drying rack, love it! The wood walls will really come into their own as you add these touches. Rootin' for the wood walls.
I agree doing another rack on the opposite side is a Great idea! I thought of my grape vines, they would work too. So many fun times you'll have in your green house!. 😊💙💜💛💚😎
I love the color of the indoors of the shed. Wonderful to see your project.
Hello 👋 Anna, how are you doing? I hope you’re having a fantastic day ?
Two drying racks are a good idea!
Love the rustic branch flower rack. Very unique and sturdy .
In Victorian times Statice was known/ meant for memory and remembrance, and in Australia as far as I know was often used as flowers in cemeteries for that reason. I grew up knowing it as a cemetery flower, planted around graves
@Sandra David ~ Does that make you sad, Sandra, and not want to grow any statice? Or do you like it for the remembrance factor? I'm curious what your view of it is.
Awesomeness 😲 OMG...
I love how you throw other opinions out there Meanwhile you always stay true to yourself and continue just to “Do You Laura!”That’s a quality I so admire about you! Your a hard worker- Lady MacGyver- hott mom and also hott teacher you just got it all! ✨🤍
Laura: ".... Magical Fort Area!..."
Aaron:..... heads right in!!!
Thank you for sharing your joy this morning, it's absolutely contagious! What a fabulous way to start my day!!!
It's great that you have a wild naturaly grown area that all of you can explore and have unbridled fun in. :-) You can go "woodsying " in your own back yard. I love that "natural" drying rack.
Yes excited to see your mom doing projects with you.
We all need to grow statice flowers 💐
Shower curtain hooks work fantastic!
I totally can see myself as a kid exploring the wild area on the new property. So cool you have a walnut tree!
