BILTMORE ESTATE Historic Gardens Tour - Ep. 246

One of the most beautiful private gardens I had visited 10 years ago was @Biltmore Historic Gardens and Conservatory. Though we skip the conservatory in this film (but feature it on our sister channel, "Plant One On Me" @summerrayneoakes we join Bill Quade, Director of Horticulture at the Biltmore Company, to lavish us with a tour of a part of the historic gardens.

I am a gardener, not a botanist, but I love a garden tour with plant nerds! Thanks for this.

[@delarboles197]

I love how you were able to laugh with this man about the pronunciation of a dead language. That's an effective way of communication. You were both correct. You are doing good things with this channel. Big ups

[@timgarner1957]

Awesome episode, wish you would've turned Saunder lose with his drone to film more of that place..im sure it would've been gold! Lol Thanks for inviting us along 😊

[@user-id3ky8si4m]

Wow, just wow.

[@sonnysome3201]

I think this was so lovely. It's always a pleasure to watch interviews where the guest is on the same wavelength as the interviewer. I swear, when you Summer used your Bird Voice in the end while discussing the shy fowl island, I could hear him start doing the same thing. You almost got him :D!

[@delarboles197]

Your adventures with this channel remind me of a time I went very deep in Northern California near the south fork of the salmon River outside of Mount Shasta. I was staying on the land of the Menzies family. Archibald Menzies. He has his name in the Latin of many species. He knew how to pick a spot. The doug fir was named after old man menziesii. That probably the most well known tree with his name on it, but my favorite is the madrone. This tree is like a mother to me. She is so strong but so soft. No matter how hot and dry it gets she is cool to the touch. When fires bring her down her seeds germinate. The color of her limbs like blood. She is one of my favorite trees in paradise.

[@ruralangwin]

Yes us too! Angwin. Ca.

[@delarboles197]

@ruralangwin sweet! I have family on Calistoga Rd. We got hit hard there by fires. Beautiful land there. Never forget the day a bear walked into our greenhouse. 😬

[@charlesbale8376]

Lovely...On my gardeners Bucket List.

[@joansmith3492]

Really really nice tour video. loved the gardens and the discussion.

[@Susu-ys9qd]

What an excellent tour! It reminds me of Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square PA

[@NatTayHill]

I live in Greenville about an hour south of the Biltmore. I have only been one time to visit but I think I need to plan on going back asap. I have learned so much about plants and agriculture since I went the first time. I think that I will appreciate everything 1,000x more now!!! ❤

[@DanielCookFineGardens]

We toured last September and loved the Olmsted feel that remains in the gardens and the estate grounds. Your video tour does that justice.

[@ammorales1524]

Awesome! Thanks a million!!!

[@andreahelm7981]

Such a great tour - and a great way for beginners like me to hear and see plant identification at a walking place - love it!

[@Fellowtellurian]

48:16 I love the little easter egg of the car flying backyards dow the hill.

[@tuhkathri9126]

What are the odds. I just learned about this place through an Instagram ad an hour ago and now this video shows up 😂........ 🤔. In any case, I look forward to this video 👍🏻

[@ellafields9424]

First heard of Biltmore House in 1974. Spent the week end in Ashville, NC on a business trip still a most memorable visit. Amazing place unfortunately I've not been able to get back so really enjoying this video.

[@zerxilk8169]

very interesting and helpful.

[@leightodd7335]

Very nice. I found you're channel through MrMaple which I'm a fan of too. I was planning to bring some family members with me to their open house Memorial Day so now I guess we'll have to include Biltmore Historic Gardens. Thank you!

[@cathykirkmcrae7727]

Thanks for the incredible tour!

[@Bandaid17]

As gardening enthusiasts and desire to learn about history we were excited to go to the Biltmore Estate. The entrance fee was so expensive we turned it down. Not even a senior discount LOL. This was several years ago. How much is it today?

[@barbarabranstetter1784]

Beautiful gardens 💚💚

[@meredithnichols3572]

That urn looks like the teacup ride from Disney

[@moradmoradi8518]

Thanks!

[@loveandoneness.n.e.t]

top best! thank you🙏

[@toolsoffantasy]

Loved the Biltmore gardens when I went in like...2011/2012 I believe, but I wish that there was an option to buy tickets just for the grounds, especially since the price for even the Grounds + House has essentially become prohibitively expensive. I understand that it costs money to run the grounds but the cost of tickets feels incredibly out of touch. Although I suppose its unsurprising that the home of one of the richest families in American history continues to be a for-profit business. Regardless, love the video, and thank you for the tour :) Its wonderful to be able to revisit that experience without the massive price tag.

[@marky3131]

Love that place. Can’t recall but do u know what kind of grass they use to outline the formal beds?

[@helenpomerleau6455]

Asheville is in the Appalachian Mountains.

[@ruralangwin]

What narcissus do we have at 29:17. Part of as mixed bulb boarder. I'm interested in what looks like a white JetFire. Also at 34:23. I need this!

[@delarboles197]

This space doesn't sit well with me. It is intimidating the levels of which these gardens have been developed. The pastoral garden reminds me of the oak savannas where I was born and raised around Sonoma mountain. I like that part of the design. That part doesn't feel intimidating. As a gardener I have always been most interested in the space between the cultivated land and the wild. I like to consider this space more like a habitat buffer zone than a wall, fence, or border. I like this space to hold qualities of a membrane which purpose is to allow contact between the wild and my garden in a mutually beneficial way. I don't like low cut lawns and I don't like non pervious pathways. While this garden is huge, the distance between man and nature is enormous in this space. Almost removed but not quite. I think this gardener got so far from natural design he forgot who he was and where he learned his knowledge from, the old oak trees. This also reminds me of golden gate park where I'm from. It's a wonderful park like central park. I think the landscape designer modeled much of the space after central park here. It is impressive to say the least. Golden gate park was build over an ancient sand dune. This made it preform much like a hydroponic system allowing an unnaturally rapid growth. I'm not going to say the park is not beautiful but I wish I could see the San Francisco Bay before the park and before the city. When the miwok songs rang amounst the masses of birds and wildlife. That is natural design at its finest. A sacred place of absolute abundance. We need to be careful with our gardens. We need to make gardens to welcome peace inside and out. Not this who is the biggest and best sickness of the mind. I myself go to the confluence of a stream in the wild to find peace. This is where the good mind grows. Where nature is most abundant. Nyaweh sgeno, peace on earth and wellbeing for human kind 🙏 ♥️ ✨️

[@jpallen719]

I didn’t know you could grow narcissists…….😂😂😂

[@user-bf1me7gz9i]

Sometimes i feel bad for people You visit -You do not let people talk🤔Seems You know more than Yours guest-sorry!

[@EbarGeller]

Summer's conversational and narrative style sits exceedingly well with us. Yes, she can be pleasantly aggressive in pursuit of a focused apprehension and shaping of reality. But her range extends well beyond that surface assessment. As well, the quiet spaces in the videography where the plants and landscapes take center stage complement her delivery styles very well.
