FAIRCHILD Tropical Botanic Garden CONSERVATORY Tour: Part 1 - Ep. 304

We've done tours with Chad Husby at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in the past, but the conservatory is ALWAYS changing, and Chad is ALWAYS a pleasure to botanize with, so of course we wanted to come back and see what new (and old) plants are growing.
Enjoy this tour. It's the first part of a two part series.

He's so chill, he's like a plant genius version of Mr. Rogers of the plant world. He has such a soothing voice. I love these tours!!

[@stephsoundsystem914]

Omg He ISSS!!!

[@simonwillig5316]

And he answers her extremely specific questions so calmly and perfectly!!

[@jsaysyay]

yeah this video has such a chill vibe it's great

[@tmhient3vvn]

His tours and the garden are always therapeutic. Love it!

[@archasvityagi9997]

It is my dream to meet Summer and Chad Sir.

[@verlenelewis9866]

I normally don’t care for plant tours, but thoroughly enjoyed this one. Excited for part 2!!

[@erikm8372]

It depends right? I know we're all human and have diff tastes; but I just don't care for sleepy, lame plant tours, haha. As a gardener and collector myself, I don't like redundant or bland info where they try to convince the viewer it's some groundbreaking new thing; people giving hour-long, in-depth tours of their Box hedges (which I do have in my front yard, we don't need an hour tho), compost piles, ugly dead looking veggie patches and overall...blasé collections!! Those are what I usually don't like! Lmao! I am biased in Southern California though. If it's not bromeliads, succs, desert and tropicals, or Mediterranean-influenced "herbaceous border"-style planting, I'm bored.

[@chuxmix65]

Summer does tours at commercial nurseries, small plant shops AND research botanical gardens. I really like her mix of interest in new horticultural varieties and the botanical species they came from. If you haven't... check out her previous tour of this same building with Chad.

[@chuxmix65]

What a privilege to visit Mr. Husby and his domain! If you haven't watched, Summer's previous visit to this same building is equally interesting.

[@leahnelson771]

Wow, thank you. You no idea how much this type of content means to all of us

[@louiseb5702]

I always love the Fairchild Garden tours. Looking forward to part 2!

[@TeamArVes]

Got Good Plants there. Happy Planting to all 👍☺❤

[@sekaiomiruhitokaminoyume5426]

Hi I got a wild adiantum pyramidale that grow in my garden wall , I’m from Martinique. My hobby was collecting fern leaf , I had over 87 different species on my island in just 2 city . I’m so glad to see some of them on KZbin 😊

[@erikm8372]

When Chad mentioned _Marantaceae_ and the relation to _Zingiberales_ (gingers), that reminded me what an amazing family the Arrowroots are! It's truly amazing. Besides the famous Maranta, Stromanthe, Ctenanthe, and Geoppertia-Calathea, it also include bananas (Musa, Ensete, etc.), Heliconia, Strelitzia, Galangal, Curcuma (turmeric)... even CARDAMOM is part of the Marantaceae! That blew my mind when I read it. I know I'm forgetting some key members, but it does make sense when you see the blooms of all of them. The plant structure and leaf shape too; rather banana-like leaves in general, especially on strelitzia, heliconia and Gingers. And all have very unique and showy blooms. All different flowers but very similar strippy leaves. Also within the family as a whole, virtually none are toxic 😇✌🏼

[@Jeuro38]

I think you're thinking of the Order Zingiberales, which includes all the families Zingiberaceae, Heliconiaceae, Streliziaceae, Musaceae... But they sure do look a lot alike!

[@WesleysPlantWorld]

I just love these videos with you and Chad. He’s so knowledgeable and calming to listen to. What an amazing place! Thanks for showing us 😃🌿

[@danielballard3364]

a true ASMR experience, just plant related.. perfect :D

[@iamjograd]

Much has changed since the first tour and its amazing! Thanks for sharing another tour, Chad and team Flock!

[@stephsoundsystem914]

Okay, I love that you know he knows that she's a very intelligent and knows what she's talking about. Doc Block was cool to watch, and I know it's probably a mixture of not having seen Summers videos, his generation, and not knowing her viewership well, but I found some of his tours feeling a bit *ick* like he was going to call her sweetheart.

[@letmedowneasy43]

Chad is great in these segments his knowledge is encyclopedic !

[@chaotatca2003]

within a day, i'm already rewatch it 3 times LOL. Will come down to Florida in Spring, hopefully i can see him once at Fairchild.

[@laurNsG]

That flower/ berry that is related to blueberry reminds me of the roselle hibiscus

[@timmywood9677]

I’m on vacation right now in the cloud forest of Ecuador. Theres a wide range amazing plants growing here in this town called Mindo. I love all the different fruit that are growing here banana’s guava cacao papaya mango and passion fruit star fruit

[@tanyal7122]

Such a pleasure to watch these tours. Your camera and interview work was spot on Summer😍

[@banderaitaly]

Freycinetia is really neat! 😮

[@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550]

He holds so much knowledge. It's impressive.

[@drpk6514]

Would be interesting to study why many of these shade-loving plants have purple underlayer leaves (abaxial). It could be for the protection of the leaves in high light by leaf rolling/folding.

[@Nightsoil626]

love liverworts 🙂

[@PlantyfulKatayoun]

I love these tours!!! Love Mr. Chad Husby and Fairchild Botanical Gardens! Thank you guys!! SO much!

[@iscreamicecream22]

I always love the Fairchild garden tours. The one you did earlier and this one! And Chad obviously

[@davidplants]

This is AMAZING!

[@grannyplants1764]

Chad’s information and your comments and great camerawork made this almost better than being there in person, like a wonderful narrated tour with video! The variety of plants there is amazing. Thank you so much for doing this tour 🤗🌱🌿

[@miamianz]

My favorite place to go when i visit my parents

[@PTChitown]

I miss Fairchild gardens...thanks for sharing this episode

[@theonghantan862]

Sooo professional ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@genelihofilena1631]

Awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[@timgarner1957]

This is my favorite show now..I like all the places you go and the people you meet along the way.. I think you caught Chris off guard with the monkey butte joke..lol

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Super interesting. Thank you for posting

[@BankableChannel]

He is my fav of all your guests. Just so zen. I watched his first tour all the time.

[@extremechimpout]

Part1!? Can't wait for the others I just love Chad he is the best

[@AnggrekKakYusri]

Thanks for sharing... 😁

[@jonstfrancis]

Love every visit to Fairchild and Chad Husby is the best! Thanks again, such amazing plants! 🌱💚

[@giardinodialberi8751]

Great tour. I bet Summer is happy to leave behind the gray and beige of the Northeast for a while. At Fairchild, I think what we're witnessing is more of the "Plant Custodian not just Plant Collector" philosophy that Doc Block mentioned.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Miss Summer. ❄️💚🙃

[@michaelspano4067]

everything is so lush. the RO water and fog system has really made a difference. i saw the coco de mer several years ago when it was a lot smaller. i was fortunate to find a coco de mer nut on ebay listed as a gourd. one of my happier finds!

[@kathymacomber5115]

He has so much knowledge..I would love just a tenth of the knowledge.

[@connorbelfiglio1645]

I am a member at Fairchild's and enjoy the conservatories but it is very interesting learning about the plants and their names. Always enjoy the videos from FTBG!

[@muilay8187]

I’m so happy for your new home. It’s such an adorable house with great outdoor space. I know you are going to making it look even more amazing. Congratulations!!!

[@simonwillig5316]

Ceratostema are so freaking cool, to me they look some kind of perfectly sculpted vase. I've been fortunate enough to see them in the wild, at about 10,000-11,000 in Ecuadorian Andes!

[@rodrigomartino6798]

OMG! How can i love every single video You upload! I love everything about them: the subjects, the plants, the filming, the atmospheres💚

[@pattivermeersch7348]

Another most excellent tour…thanks so much

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

I love these field trips :-) Thank you for making these videos

[@Duke_Scanlan]

I love all of these tours!

[@gordonpingenot1731]

Yet another Great tour. Thanks so much, Summer!

[@slamrock17]

Ginsenosides are awesome 😎👍

[@tropicaussie4572]

Looks beautiful. I want to visit Fairchild one day. That hot house seems like our weather here in Queensland right now in the hottest part of summer . Today's temperature range is a sultry 24 to 37 degrees Celsius and humid .

[@jamiewestmoreland6289]

Thank you again summer, I really love these types of videos ❤🌞 I bought two more big plants today just to make my sun room full 😅❤

[@kimmy6304]

Oof, Alpinia rugosa, my heart and soul cRAVES one 😻 impossible to find in the EU so far

[@banderaitaly]

Pretty cool to learn the palm can be a male or female

[@aryansayeed]

Absolutely loved it.🤍

[@thenorthernpalace261]

[@saylorsoul]

When are you coming to california

[@janezkanoni473]

The spiral one Costusni think...My thought about a latin name: Fractalosteama spaceaifolia sub. wortexiae quantum🕊🙏🐲💮👌💫👏🐓

[@venusbeto8725]

Wuju

[@barbaracole4314]

You flash the botanical names so quickly can't read them in time ,before you change to next one

[@irynalaudadio1782]

Do you have mandarin spider plant?
