I squealed with delight when I seen the title. I immediately messaged my daughter, who lives 1.5 hours away to watch. Thank you, Susan, for joining in. I loved hearing the thoughts between you both. I think this should be a regular segment "Gardening with Mom"

I love how this was formatted. You see the pictures and the both of you at the same time. You reactions to the pictures. Did an excellent job on the format.

every girl wishes to have a Mom like yours .. what a special bond you have with each other.

I watch everything your mom is in!! I wish she had her own channel. She’s such an inspiration! Thanks Mom!!

Oh my gosh! I vote to make “Cocktails & Comments” a regular feature! ❤you two are just the best😊

I could have watched this for hours. Like antique shopping, a “Gardens today with Mom” would be a great series.

Barn Quilts were used 300 years ago to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune to immigrants settling in Pennsylvania and eventually into other parts of the country. They were also used for travelers to identify certain properties. We have them in rural Virginia also. I love them! So pretty!

Anytime your mother is present, it's a treat!

Your mom is just fabulous. She’s all of our mom now ❤ I immediately watch all of your videos featuring her

The yellow plant from a submission in Manitoba Canada that Laura and her mom was unsure of is called a Lady Slipper orchid, in case anyone is curious. Beautiful garden submissions. I’ve enjoyed watching all 5 of the videos.

Hi, Laura. I love your videos; as a hobby, I am a native plant specialist and gardener for the U.S. and am currently pursuing my master's in biomedical engineering. You DO have tons of cacti native to your area, which I believe is the Great Basin and Range. But from other videos, I know you look for plants such as lupine. You have tons of native lupine in your area, and not only are they indigenous, but many are also extremely drought tolerant and prefer your highly alkaline soil. They also act more as a ground cover/shrub, blooming profusely. These include: -Lupinus polyphyllus -Lupinus leucophyllus -Lupinus rivularis -Lupinus argenteus

Always love when you & your Mom do anything together. Y’all are so in sync. ❤

Ahhhh I wanted to see Justin's pallet raised beds filled🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊

The quilts on barns celebrates the history throughout Oregon’s countryside. One can travel around Oregon and follow a quilt trail. I used to think a quilt on a barn designated the barn as a historical site but as it turns out, it’s all about the quilt. During the Revolutionary War, Barn Quilts were used to show American forces that the area was safe, secure, and supplies were available.

The yellow flowers you guys were wondering if they were orchids are called “Lady Slippers” and actually grow in the wild here in zone 3 … they are a very rare find so very special when you do!! Score one for us die hard zone 3ers who watch with envy at all the plant options you can grow 🥰🥰

Oh my goodness, please have your mom on all of these inspiration videos! She is the best and y’all’s convos are always so sweet!

I did not want this video to end! Your Moms laughter is contagious! You are so fortunate to have your mom! Cherish these moments!

I loved the insertion of Tom Sellek and his foliage stache! 🤣🤣🤣. Great video, well formatted. Love seeing Susan with Laura. Always a treat when they get together. 💚💚💚

I wish I could be more like Susan. She’s a treasure. She and I are about the same age but she is eons ahead of me in the love, joy, patience and kindness departments. I wish I had Laura’s joy, energy and creativity. There are no bounds to what she can do. Love them both!

Thank you Susan for your guest appearance, it was fun listening to both of you analyzing the pictures. I hope you will consider doing this again, not that we don’t love Aaron. ❄️💚🙃

The thing that I so enjoy is that MOMA laughs, giggles, and brings so much JOY to every video! We LoVE you MOMA!!!! Thanks for being in this video. Happy Valentine's Day, 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

Your mom is such a vibe. 💛

Laura, I'm sure Aaron will agree with me here, but you should let your momma have that white arbor. It would be so cool to see what she can do with it in her garden space and it sounds like she has a plan for it, too! You can take us on the ride along when you show up and try and sneak it in her space like she tried to do with the plant stand in the Hartley!

Mom sure does add a fun, sweet dimension to the video also! ❤

The things hanging on the barns are called Hex signs. Different images, colors, and patterns are supposed to offer blessings or protection. I live in Amish country in PA and almost every barn has Hex signs. My mom loves to do the driving tours around the countryside to see all the gorgeous barns. Thank you again for another beautiful and inspirational video!

What a beautiful relationship the two of you have!!!

Drinking in my fancy greenhouse with my mom gushing over gardens, life goals 😂

Awww ... Gift The Arbor To Your Mother Laura ... On Mother's Day. " When you love someone, you sacrifice. " ~ Kiera Cass

Aaron sounds like my husband who is always ready to give away what HE doesn't want .....Love the humor

The orchid like flower could be a lady slipper, they grow wild here in Michigan. The art on the barn is a reproduction of a family bed quilt. Barn quilts began as a way to honor a loved one with a gorgeous piece of folk art. Love the Laura and mom videos.

Susan has joy so refreshing. Laura and her mom have such fun together.

Awwwww it’s always a good morning to wake up to Laura and her sweet mom❤❤❤

Okay, I’m not the only person who upon reading the title stopped watching whatever was on and tuned in straight away. Yippie, Susan, Laura and Aaron. What a great Friday morning surprise. Thank you.

Love how you & your mom always romance the ordinary...right down to the fancy ice cubes in your drinks.🍹💖

Am I the only one really sad that I haven't seen my garden? I know you're getting thousands, though. And what you're showing is beautiful.

You should invite your mom each week. She adds so much knowledge and her laugh is fun! 😂

When I saw your mom in the still shot of the video I almost spilled my coffee! I love watching the two of you interact and learn so much from both of you. Thank you both for doing this video❤

Good morning!

So now Laura you'll have to go and set the arbor up in her yard for her as a surprise - like she did with the Hartley plant stand. 😇

My mom sucked.......thank you for sharing yours and letting some if experience a true mother......she is the sweetest!!!!!!

Love when you and your mom get together. It always puts a smile on my face. It makes me miss my mom.

I remember loving the jacaranda trees that grew everywhere in Southern California when I lived there, after they finish blooming the petals fall and look like purple snow.

I want to compliment everything about this. But special shout out to your video editor who did a brilliant job of making it so interesting and fun. More please!

First time watching with Laura and her mom and I understand better. There is a soothing quality to Laura's mom's voice and your ideas blend☺☺

it would be so awesome if u could somehow point at the plants being spoken of, i have such a hard time finding that which u are highlighting since i dont know the names to the vast majority 😢. love this series, please do not end them

The yellow flowers are lady slippers. They grow wild in Atlantic Canada. Other common colours are pink and white. They are actually endangered and it’s illegal to pick them. I’ve never seen them in garden Centers in our area. I’d love to grow them!

I always enjoy watching your channel. I happily live vicariously through you as my home is an apartment on the second floor (always in shade), however, after seeing the fifth floor balcony garden in Indiana I realized in that moment what I can do! Thank you for everything you do!

Loving all of the inspirational videos, my baby girl and I watch every morning. The flower at 29:35 is Cypripedium parviflorum (also known as Lady's Slipper) part of the orchid family, it is native to North America. I was introduced to it by my grandfather when I was young during hikes near his home in Bissett Creek, Ontario, Canada zone 4a, it grows wild in the forests up here, by far my favorite wildflower.

I find myself smiling, laughing and talking to you and your mom, when you're in a video together! So much fun!

Looking at all these photos of everyone's gardens really makes me want spring to get here and to go and get a country home with a babbling Brook running through it and a back drop of trees. Just love all the gardens .

Yes, keep this mini series going..I love seeing other gardens, they give me such joy and inspiration to try different plants. Your Mom is such a hoot and love seeing her perspective. So he isn't left out, Aaron you're great too.

You and your mom are so precious together. Love watching both of you. ❤ 💗 💖

Kudos to all the gardeners who submitted photos! Wow!!

You 2 Ladies are such a joy to watch. The chortling, giggling and laughing, so cute. And a cocktail to boot!

I never comment but I just had to say I laughed out loud when you made that face at Aaron. I make that face at my husband when he offers up things that I love and he doesn't. 🤣🤣🤣

These videos are so much fun. It feels like I’m sitting at the table watching with you and enjoying your reactions.

☕️Good morning Susan and Laura, and all GA friends. A lovely way to begin any day, seeing all the spectacular gardens and sharing them with you two…you both are a hoot!! Compliments to the gardeners on their beautiful creations, and wow, the talent! Thank you for the fun giggles and a nod to Aaron in the background. Thank you for the inspiration and this much needed break in the winter months. 💚🌷💚🌷💚🌷💚💖

Laurel in St. Paul here (the first video/photos). You are both welcome to visit my garden anytime! 😊 How fun to hear your mom's comments too!

What a JOY to spend some time this morning, sharing a beverage with Laura and Susan as they guide us through the beautiful garden spaces from friends all over the world. Thank you for inviting us to share this time with you♡ Blessings to you for an amazing weekend!

I do enjoy these videos. However, having your Mom with you made it extra special. She is a delight to watch. Thank you

The yellow orchids from the Manitoba garden are called Ladyslippers. They are a native plant but are not to be disturbed or taken from the wild. Thankfully, Ladyslippers are beginning to show up commercially, which enables gardens like this to have a collection. In certain areas, they are pink, although they are rare.

How exciting to see my home garden and church garden in this week's garden inspiration! Thanks so much!! It was really fun to watch you and your mom together -- it's like going on a garden tour with your best garden buddy! Not sure if this comment will be seen in the bazillions of comments, but just to clarify a couple of the plants if anyone is curious.... the purple plant in the church garden is 'Pale Puma' Purple Heart (Setcreasea pallida) (not coleus), and the yellow is Zexmenia (Wedelia texana) (not coreopsis), a couple of Texas tough perennials. Thanks again. So enjoying this series and all the beautiful gardens!

Your Mom is the sweetest 💗

Loved hearing Laura and Mom critiquing the beautiful gardens!! Please repeat format! 🌺❤️🌺❤️

I'm not really a fan of blue fescue grass but that last garden has changed my mind. That was beautiful.

I think the interaction of you and your mom is my favorite format. She adds to the experience of the gardens.

"They've got their thinkin' cap on" Hahah you guys crack me up. So wholesome and sweet. I love watching all your videos, but especially when Mom joins.

Such beautiful gardens! And I LOVED that your Mom was with you…definitely hope she joins you for the rest of the series!

We all wish we were that “ Mother”! She is a breath of fresh air

EVERYTHING FROM THE COMMENTARY TO THE EDITING IS A TOTAL CHAOS AND I LOVE IT 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Barn quilts tell stories about individual farms, historical events or communities while also adding visual interest to the countryside and increasing rural tourism

I love watching you and your mom, the interaction between the both of you is delightful. The joy and smiles you both show when your talking about plants is infectious. Thank you for the great start to my day❤😊

Oh, HAPPY DAY! Love you two ladies! You make the world a brighter place! Thank you!🤗🪴😃

I am 63 and enjoy watching you and your Mom because I miss mine so much. Loved all the beautiful gardens.

Yayy! I love these, so much inspiration for my gardens! Keep these going to 100!

You should’ve seen the biggest smile on my face when I saw today’s video title. I love anything with your Mom in it. She’s so fun and has such beautiful energy. Love this video series!

Yay!!! Time with Laura and her Mom, and gorgeous gardens!!! Great start to the day!

I love your Mom, You, and Aaron discussing the gardens. God is a great Creator and Gardener!

Laura- you and your Mom are so cute! And the face you gave Aaron when talking about the piece that’s behind your barn! Reminds me of me with my Hubby! I guess that’s a universal look! Ha!❤

How I wish my own beautiful Mother was still here - she really would have loved watching this with me. Susan is probably around my age, but your relationship reminds me so much of me & my own mother. Never, ever take time with your mothers for granted.

I believe the plant that looks like an orchid from Manitoba is called a Lady Slipper and they are wild orchids

I love that Toni of Toni's Signature Gardens sent in photos of her yard. She is one of our area Master Gardener and I love driving by her home. The front is filled with natives that are always so beautiful to see and not just the typical manicured yard. Dreaming of her helping me achieve something as beautiful as she has achieved here in our North Texas area of DFW, Zone 8a. Love you and your sweet mom's comments. It's always a blast when you two are together!

Aaron’s “focus” response to the blue fescue! 😂

I think that cactus is called a prickly pear, because the fruits are edible and it look like pears

A real joy seeing other’s creativity and hearing the commentary of two seasoned and skilled super-creatives.

Always a treat when you and your Mom get together!!! ♥️

Oh my goodness, I love your mother! I'm so glad you had her on here with you.

Barn Wuilts were originally started to honor a family member. The quilt pattern was normally chosen from a quilt that has been in the family, and quite often one that has been passed down generations. Now the quilt patters on barns has become so popular and often also not limited to barns but also found on sides of buildings. There are now walking and also driving Trail of Quilts that you can follow to enjoy. I live in North Carolina and we have a trail that runs through our mountains.

The flowers are beautiful...but I love the banter between you and your mom. You guys are a hoot!!

I love the banter between Laura and her Mom. It’s a joy to witness and brings a smile. As a bonus you get to see beautiful gardens. Thank you for sharing.

After a while of watching you would think you could become less impressed by the different gardens.. but I feel like a kid in a toy store! Every garden provokes a WOOWW how pretty!!!! 😂just stunning and magical!

Barn Quilts can be traced back to the start of our country. It is thought that early European immigrants may have brought the idea with them. Originally barns were not painted but had pieces of artwork hung on them to identify the owner and location. Quilting was a craft and skill taught to young women in the home. Hex Signs and Other Barn Decorations,” documented a few of what he believes are the ancient markings of hex signs: the four-pointed star signifies good luck, five points protect the barn from lightning, six points signify love and marriage, eight points fertility and a sixteen-pointed star was sure to bring prosperity to a farm.

Oh my, you guys are hilarious! You were making me thirsty with your drinks!! Totally enjoyed the video. Can't wait for the next one! I vote that you have a drink of choice with every new video with the recipe! It was SO FUN!!

People have pretty gardens everywhere but lots of work goes into working them to make them gorgeous.

Love your Mom! Also enjoy that she wears Andrew's Seed Co. merchandise.

OK... how is it possible for every part of this series to get better? Truly, these gardens are just so lovely!!

What a great start to the day. This has to continue Laura, your mom is so awesome! We need more of her. Yes, we love when Aaron joins in also. Have a wonderful weekend to all!

Aaron and Laura, I so enjoy your daily videos! I’ve been able to learn so much from you Laura as you share your gardening with us. Aaron you are so supportive with everything she does. I do love these segments with looking at what others have created in their garden spots. Laura have such a close and loving relationship with your sweet mother. You both are lucky to be living in close proximity of both your parents. Your adorable children grow up close to their grandparents. That is such a special relationship for them to have. Thank you again for taking the time out of your busy lives to share a part of your day with us. ❤

I literally rushed to watch the video when I saw your mom. I love watching your interactions with each other. I miss the relationship that I had with my mom. You are truly blessed to have her around. Thanks for sharing her with us.

Love when your mom is there! Such a sweet and positive lady! Haven’t seen Russell yet though.
