Backyard Garden Oasis

[@JimPutnam]

I shot this video a few weeks ago, but i was just able to edit it today. The front yard video will be up next week. Thanks for watching.

[@mbehymer9229]

I LOVE this landscape. I have been looking forward to the front yard and haven't been able to find the link. Has it been posted?

[@truthdogschell8473]

I love the way the garden blends together naturally without being so formal.

[@JimPutnam]

I completely agree

[@DS-rf7si]

So much Beauty! Can't wait for the front yard tour! This one is my favorite so far. Please let the homeowner know how much we the viewers appreciate them by allowing you to video their very gorgeous gardens.

[@nwaz964]

I love the use of pathways to create structure and flow. I love seeing how people create relaxing spaces in their landscape. The English Ivy battle is never ending...always climbing up my trees

[@JudyG53]

So tranquil. If I were a bird in the area I would live at that garden space. Very nice. Thanks Jim.

[@jille9650]

You are knocking it out of the park with the garden tours. Thank you!!

[@melissagarcia8383]

Meanwhile in dry El Paso, “Well take the invasive English ivy!” 😄 Love the garden tours!

[@ckvoncan]

I appreciate your format and information sharing (especially the plant genus and common names on the screen)! Thanks from Huntersville, NC.

[@TheRoyalBavarian]

Fantastic garden. Thank the owner for their devotion and willingness to share.

[@SteveL2012]

It’s incredible how they have created their own private, lush world in such a small space. What a stunning garden!

[@judygray7718]

Big fan of the tours, especially shade gardens. Thanks.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Wow, gorgeous yard. Thank you for the tour.

[@gardenloveletters2063]

I really appreciate these garden tours. It’s so helpful to learn about different plants and to see them in their sites rather than in a nursery can. Thank you so much!

[@caroldieter2483]

Wow! What a gorgeous garden 🪴 You are doing a great job showing off these beautiful spaces. Thank you for putting the names of the plants on the screen- very helpful. Can’t wait to see the front.

[@joansmith3492]

In the DFW north Texas area where so many evergreen shrubs died or had severe dieback the red tip photinias sparkled and were shinning. Makes me want to go get one.

[@AleksandraDeegan]

Another great garden tour. You have some incredibly talented gardener-neighbors Jim.

[@kbk2192]

Wow, I'm jealous. Great structure and looks so calm and peaceful

[@JimPutnam]

It really uses the space in the center of the backyard without having to maintain every square foot all the time.

[@Tofog22000]

Nice garden, the pathways and elevated beds really add a lot to the experience and views!

[@JimPutnam]

They definitely do. Not really my type of pathway, but they are perfect for this space.

[@micheleyates3625]

Jim, what is your type of preferred walkway?

[@orchidgarden3124]

I love this lush layered look. It’s great to see what can be accomplished in a shady garden!

[@pragueinbloom1110]

Really nice and peaceful garden

[@lindaga820]

Beautiful garden, always love hearing the birds in the background!!

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Wow, the backyard gardens are so beautiful and tranquil! Before you mentioned it, I noticed the English Ivy, and I thought 'oh NO'! I've had to eradicate that in my own landscape, which was not an easy task Thanks Jim, for showing us this beautiful landscape! I'm looking forward to seeing their front yard! ~Margie

[@ElizabethM824]

Another beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing and doing these garden tours and thanks to your neighbors for allowing us into their gardens!! I always get ideas from these tours even though I garden in a very different climate, Seattle area Zone 8B. Thanks again.

[@JimPutnam]

Thabks for watching them😊

[@cme9758]

Love this garden! I especially like how the azela were cut back to a low spreading type of plant, unique look.

[@mybahe1]

Absolutely stunning garden Jim! Its so nice of these people to share their private garden with us. Please thank them and thank you for filming it! Absolutely wish that was my yard!🌺🙂💕🌹

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

Beautiful yard. My gosh. They done good Jim. I don't understand the use of Creeping Jenny in landscapes though. I live in central Illinois 5B and if one piece of that plant from a container combo planter touches the ground........it roots and goes all over. I would call it invasive. And yes, it does overwinter here and comes to life more robust than ever

[@melnewman4182]

Mr Jim- this garden is beautiful. If I was a squatter I would live there! I would drink coffee everyday on that back porch! Thanks for the tour-from SW Missouri!

[@jeane561]

Jim I love the brick paths. Thanks for the tour😊❤️😊

[@adrabruzzese7610]

Thanks Jim for the tour. The space is absolutely beautiful.

[@mardisteffenhagen9405]

Amazing shade garden !!

[@amywright2243]

I love hearing the birds! Such a beautiful space. Thank you for sharing!

[@rebeccabsomanybooks3558]

Beautiful landscape. Thank you for sharing.

[@L.A.6482]

I love your tours of nearby gardens!! I get so many good ideas and tips.

[@lilyf7561]

It is an absolute beauty! I would want to be out there all day long :)

[@zazelda]

Jim, I just love these tours so much! They are exciting for me to get to wander through extraordinarily landscaped yards. Thank you for providing this opportunity for me. Although I'm a FL zone 9B so the plants aren't that important (other than for their beauty), I see the repeated message of invasive plants, the importance of choosing plants that bloom during different times throughout the year, and other lessons constantly repeated throughout your videos. Your videos are not only beautiful, but also very educational. Your time, effort, and knowledge are very much appreciated. Thanks.

[@Riverdale270]

The maples are gorgeous!!!

[@imdetto]

When I first came across your video I didn't want to click on it, now I am a new subscriber and enjoy your knowledge and content.

[@Cpicky]

What a beautiful,amazing garden-perfect. At first I thought it might be Pamela Harper’s garden. Wish you could tour her garden also. This is my favorite garden tour so far. Thank you

[@JimPutnam]

It is one of my favorites as well!!

[@mimimd9652]

My neighbor's dead trees fall every time we have a storm (I say a prayer they fall into her yard instead of mine), but I'm having fun clearing out and designing each new section of garden! The briars and poison ivy aren't the best, but hey - I'm making space to plant more shrubs and flowers and it doesn't get better than that!

[@cece_marie]

Gorgeous and tranquil garden - you did it justice with your thoughtful movements and camera panning.

[@beckyc104]

We would totally watch you walk around a beautiful garden for an hour, just FYI.

[@goodgugamuga]

I love how the different variety of plants block out the yard in areas. You have to venture out and explore to see all of them. Can't wait for part2!

[@tazmankb26]

Thanks Jim for sharing- wonderful space!

[@kaylac3367]

I love and appreciate all the information and details you share with us in these tours. So helpful.

[@monaleggett4412]

This is a beautiful landscaped backyard! Thank you for sharing!

[@daiseegray9110]

Amazing, absolutely beautiful! Really enjoy the garden tours 🌼☀️

[@MollyJoAnn]

Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing these beautiful landscapes!

[@my89towncar]

I'm really enjoying all of your great backyard videos. I'm working to get our yard as presentable as the ones you have shown. My only suggestion for you is to use a font that has a black outline or a shadow for some of the descriptive shots that are aimed at a light background or up at the sky. The white font tends to blend in with the light background making it hard to read until you point back at some green foliage. Sometimes this isn't enough time to read it all. Again, great work on the videos!

[@lorenerickson813]

Beautiful! And, yes, I am so over ivy gone rogue here in Virginia.

[@juliabinford6500]

Thank you for the tour. We have many of the same shade plants here in the Seattle WA area.

[@janiefunk5144]

Very pretty space. Thanks for the tour!

[@judymiddleswart9350]

Love these long garden tours!! Thanks! Just stunning with all the paths!

[@anitahadley2871]

It’s like a beautiful walk in a park! Love those pathways and layered walls.

[@annadunleavy5872]

Wonderful and detailed garden tour! I love how you point out specific tips on plants and shrubs, especially noting invasive species. I sat on my front porch with a cup of coffee and enjoyed before heading out into my garden. Thank you!

[@daracobb530]

Jim thank you for sharing these wonderful mature gardens. I love watching you develop your new landscape and also seeing established gardens. Your channel always delights!

[@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR]

That is a gorgeous garden planting

[@anitahill4725]

I recently began watching your videos and am so enjoying them.

[@Gymjb5]

Thank you ,garden is beautiful,I’ll show my wife this is what I’ll like to do with my back yard

[@fitforever22]

Thank you for all these wonderful videos-enjoyable and educational!

[@highlandlakecottage4276]

Thank you for the garden tours. Nice to see mature landscapes & gardens.

[@terriklugh2910]

I love all the garden tours. Such a beautiful garden!

[@ginafriend1690]

Thanks for the tour! They did a nice job planning Nature! Lovely paver wall and walkways, including seating areas! 🙌

[@sandramulchahey8268]

Loving the garden tours

[@cramersbackyard9634]

Great that you are local to me! Been subscribed for a pretty long time and your videos are some of the best on KZbin in my opinion. Thanks for doing them. I am sure it is a lot of work.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Beautiful garden.

[@aroundthehousewithcheryl]

Very beautiful Jim! Thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@prettysunshine6655]

The garden in my dreams! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@judyford3897]

Beautiful garden. Thank you

[@gertkirkland1381]

Love backyard walkways.

[@BloodsbyDesign2020]

Thanks so much for showing shade gardens! I have a fully shaded backyard due to two beautiful weeping Oaks and it’s tough finding a variety of plants and flowers that will thrive

[@SonOfGod0600]

Great video, amazing garden 😍

[@DivyaVerma-fx6wt]

Absolutely beautiful

[@xiomaramartinez3212]

Beautiful place

[@lrieke8300]

Love the tours. Hope to learn more on white azaleas you admire.

[@robinrummel1359]

Thanks for the tour, beautiful garden! And now I know why my pink dogwood only has 2-3 blooms on it every year, too much shade even though it gets 4-6 hours of filtered to direct sun in the afternoon. It's 8-10 feet tall now so I don't want to try to transplant it. Rats!

[@JimPutnam]

Generally they grow right on the edge of the woods and ask for some direct sun. Thanks for watching.

[@laurahorton9159]

Beautiful- love the tours

[@dulceportillo4061]

Nice video love to visit others gardens.

[@karynwhitesuperwoman]

Lovely garden!!! Thank you!🏡

[@gregoryirving2252]

White pine thing is spot on. I live in SE Virginia and it's all loblolly until you get north or west of Richmond. They seem to struggle here, the few I see generally turn yellow in late summer.

[@cinziadeluca5074]

Oh that Mayapple is beautiful!

[@rubyhansen7343]

Ivy is very invasive. Just with a cotton or a small cloth wipe the leaves with a roundup - it will be absorbed and kill the roots that are in the part of your garden. They grow rhizomes horizontal under the soil. Control them. They will strangle the roots of your plants and weaken them very sadly. I am organic mi fed gardener. Ask another ivy control spray. Beautiful video and I have learnt a lot. Love you letting us know the names of your garden plants. Thank you. Well done 👍

[@suepercy8390]

I loved this thanks Jim

[@GardenMinistry.]

Can I just snap my fingers this be my backyard 😍

[@whatagreatlife]

STUNNING ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@mburke1211]

Wow, I very much enjoyed the tour. I sure hope my Lenton Rose will someday look like the ones you showed! I assume it will take time, since I planted mine last spring.

[@lyssasletters3232]

So beautiful!!!!!❤

[@debbiesineath1952]

So pretty!

[@conniewojahn6445]

Very good looking, healthy helleborus. I'm jealous! Aphids, slugs, snails, and disease got mine. I finally dug them all out and tossed them into the yard recycle bin. Hopefully, where they're going will heat up enough to kill whatever ailed them. I don't like ivy. Fortunately, neither do any of my neighbors. If it ever came into my yard, I'd be tempted to spray along the fence line at the first sign of any leaves poking through, and spray any starts popping up from seeds spread by birds. Blackberries are a problem. Birds spread the seeds from miles away. I'm constantly running across babies and pulling or digging them out. Those I don't spray because I'm not as mad at them as I am ivy. Hope the ivy problem in this showcase yard gets under control! I wouldn't mind at all if solomen's seal was invasive in my yard. I can't get it to grow no matter what and I've tried for at least ten years. I keep planting it and it dies out. Move it around someplace else and it dies out.

[@SMElder-od5cl]

I love your tours!

[@Jpatmeadowbrook]

Great garden tour!

[@patriciaterry5539]

Gorgeous

[@MFgr8]

Great video! Which would you recommend for a screening plant that would get partial sun in zone 7a in OK, chindo viburnim or wax myrtle?

[@kimberly8185]

I wish this was my garden... minus the neighbors ivy...♡

[@marcie685]

Beautiful garden but I would love to know how you stop the birds scratching in the mulch I get so sick of sweeping in my garden even with high edges.?🇦🇺🙋‍♀️

[@cbvickers4044]

Wow Jim, so far this is my favorite tour. Thank you so much! That level brick path that meandered around was perfect, was not too brightly colored and did not take attention away from the beautiful plants. What was the dimension of the backyard ( I may want to copy their landscape- Austin style)?

[@rewbew9345]

Hello! I saw the Oakleaf hydrangea in this tour and wonder if there’s a trick to getting those going? I’ve tried starting two at two different times in my life in different part sun locations neither survived. Is there a secret?

[@clarasclara6010]

Beauty garden very nice

[@pudellvr]

Thank you for sharing this shade loving garden. How much maintenance do you think it takes to keep this garden up? We have a wooodscaped yard and want to do something like this with our property. Lots of trees and shade and no lawn to mow.

[@branch7010]

Jim, Edgeworthia from the jump, giving me some serious envy as I look at my sad twig. Trying to troll me aren't you?

[@JimPutnam]

I have found some big ones this season for sure. Unusual specimens really

[@passepartoot]

These lovely tours inspire... and frustrate. Can you find a garden oasis that doesn't have towering, ancient shade trees? Maybe one that is in full, hot sun? Thanks.

[@JimPutnam]

My front yard as it develops is all sun now
