Tour of Amazing Clematis Nursery

[@wisdomtree9911]

You're absolutely right about us loving these tours - we get a ton of information and, more importantly, benefit from the experts' many years of experience. Rob was so genuine and forthcoming. Loved his take-it-in-my-stride reaction to the pot almost falling off the conveyor belt.

[@johnman559]

Well said👍🤣

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Totally my favorite part of the video!

[@ltlwlwl5057]

Amen!

[@susanproctor7512]

I've always liked and bought Clearview products and now I know why I've always been impressed. Thanks for the tour!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching Susan.

[@Pattidimag]

Loved the show! Please ask him to show you a tour of his retail shop. This video was a wealth of information. Thank You!🌷

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Patricia. I'll see when we can fit it in.

[@leiaflash5055]

What a fantastic and educational tour this was! I won't be complaining about the price of a great clematis after seeing how much work goes into producing them! Thank you Jason for taking us on this trip 😀

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Very much my pleasure Leia. It was a great day.

[@pmcgowan742]

That was AWESOME! The guy is so casual about the scale of everything. Behind him… millions of plants

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I know, right? Like it's the most natural thing in the world to take 70,000 cuttings a day.

[@andrewjames6676]

Loved it! When he talked about watering it reminded me of some advice givn by welshman Clay Jones to a lady who was having gardening problems: "Make it think you've forgotten it, madam!"

[@MyFocusVaries]

This is super interesting. I've bought many of their plants. By sheer coincidence, I bought one today. Besides being wonderful plants, they have the best plant tags

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Candace. I was so impressed by the quality of the finished plants.

[@Combatpzman]

Nice to see how big this operation is, bought one of their clematis last spring. The heat dome last June almost killed it, but it came back.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I'm glad it recovered - I lost a few things in that kind of heat!

[@dreamcatcher5502]

Rob is what Kevin Costner would be like if he was a plant grower !! 😍 Great tour !!! Thanks 🥰

[@katherinecornette5315]

Absolutely fascinating! I wish they were closer to me! Plus, I love to see businesses flourishing! Great tour!

[@deborahbulled2902]

This is my Cousin Rob ❤️ Clearview has amazing product. I have a garden centre supplying Pender Island for 30 years. I’ve watched them grow over the years ❤️

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Deborah - yes, I was very impressed with everyone I met on the tour. You know I have family on Pender and I probably checked your place out when I was visiting! Small world.

[@garymcdermott8748]

Clematis is on e of my favorite plants & of course roses are the favorite. thank you always enjoyable & informational.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Gary

[@angiestelzer1064]

And yes, I’d love to see Clearview’s retail location and see the various kinds of clematis and other vining plants they sell.

[@angiestelzer1064]

So interesting and I love clematis!! Love these tours, Jason. I learn something from each one. Thank you!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

My pleasure Angie

[@Lulu-ue2lj]

Awesome to learn about the production of these plants . So glad they use Beneficial insects. Now if they can cut down on plastics... thank you Jason.

[@ltlwlwl5057]

The price of good plants are worth the money. Thank you, for sharing these guys hard work! I didn’t know how much effort goes into the plant industry.

[@kindafoggy]

Super information. We enjoy these field trips very much. Thanks to everyone involved.

[@missthang4770]

Great tour! I'm beginning to truly appreciate all the work that goes into producing plants on that scale. Thank you.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

You're very welcome!

[@bradcarby3765]

He said some interesting things. We grow an obscene amount of strawberries and raspberries and something we say often is 'never send them to bed with wet feet" He said something similar. We don't water too late in the day because we don't want our plants to have cold, wet roots. Another thing that was interesting to me was the use of predators. A fair few gardening/homesteading youtubers have said they don't think predators are worth the money because they either leave or die. Generally, they leave or die when they run out of food, which means they have done their job. We use a lot of Persimilis to take care of various kinds of mites. They take care of the mites and then the population dies right down, but as soon as the mite population increases again, the Persimilis come right back as well so one distribution of the predators can keep mites under control all season. Nasty little dinosaur looking bugs. Great video man, love hearing other growers perspectives and insights on things.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks for your insights Brad. I like what you're saying about persimilis - they need a food source to survive, and they go through the spider mites rather quickly when conditions are right. If they're gone, it means they've finished the job! I has decent results releasing Neoseiulus californicus earlier in the season - they seem tolerant of wide swings in temperature and humidity, and moves over to feeding on pollen when the prey numbers are down, so they seem to be able to stick around a little better.

[@bryan3550]

Thanks Jason, Rob's scale of production is mind-blowing! Remarkable to see so few staff, when traditionally, Hort is such a labour-intensive industry... Great to see his tried and true pest management practices: we used to use way too many lethal chemicals where I used to work. 🤢

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

They've done a great job adding automation where appropriate. He said something like 160 on staff right now - and that's no small feat in the BC labor market post-covid.

[@remaxintegrityrealty]

Thank you Rob and Jason!

[@canuckviolet3322]

Didn't know I needed to know all about how Clematis are grown but I guess I did! Thoroughly enjoyed it! 🙂 And my little 🇨🇦 ♥️ swells up just a little when I see something like this.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@norinenagle6730]

The tour was terrific. He seemed so modern and into strong technology and new ideas. Thank you.

[@bonsaibob8253]

These are awesome videos. The information is fantastic. Thank You so much for taking your time to provide us with these. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank You again Jason.

[@mattieburton9896]

Wonderful video Sir. I appreciate your work here and learn from every one you make. Roses and clematis “my thing” as you said!

[@cg3251]

This video is AWESOME! So interesting to hear all the work that goes into getting a plant to market.

[@CR-di1lg]

That was fascinating and informative. Funny with the coffee cup. Always human error!

[@buipham123]

Please, pretty please, a tour of the retail shop would be so great! I was so mesmerized by all the clematis in the green house.

[@deenamallery6971]

Hi, I so enjoyed this video,so much information on growing clematis vines! It’s my favorite vine,and always try to grow it with the few roses that I have in my small garden. It’s such an amazing plant for growing vertical on trellises. Thank you for new information.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

You bet Deena. Roses and clematis go beautifully together.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Jason 🌷💚🙃

[@sweetinks6216]

That was really interesting. I will never drown my plants again. Thanks! :)

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

You're the best! Thanks and YES please another tour for the retail you mentioned.

[@lizasklau]

Thanks Jason for the video! We went to Clearview Garden Shop after watching your video and got 14 clematis yesterday!!! So excited to plant them with your roses!!!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Excellent! They'll complement each other beautifully.

[@juliabinford6500]

Live the detailed tour.

[@austintoboston]

Fascinating!!!

[@nyw11]

I've loved these tours; especially this one. I've always had an interest in Botany and engineering/electrical/automation. Had no idea those auto-potters and conveyor belts existed. A whole new topic for me to research and look at new career opportunities .

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

You have the right interests to do well in horticulture - some of the transplanters, seeders and machine pruners are really cool! I ran the potting line for my previous employer for a long time - an older Visser PC-9, and even though the tech was 20 years old (or more) it could still push out a flat of potted plants every 8 seconds.

[@nyw11]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks for another product name to research. It looks like a lot of this horticulture automation tech comes out of Denmark and The Netherlands so I might have to start up some foreign language classes to go with my other research, haha.

[@JillBretherton]

I love behind the scenes video.

[@billgrubbs1]

Loved the tour and the information he just spills out from so much experience. Thanks

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Bill. Yes, you sure can tell that he knows the plant business inside and out.

[@bbr9707]

Just love this .. an insight to mass growing … excellent!

[@exploreraa983]

Wow, that is one professional operation. impressive production process in multiples!! 70k props per day is insane. Love all the tips and bits of experience based education your interviews offer. You are not only a great grower, you are an excellent journalist as well. Cheers!

[@mikeq6384]

Jason, What a GREAT tour ! So very interesting to see how our plants are started and all that goes into everything to get them to us, before we buy them at the garden center. Always look forward to your videos, always very useful information ! Thanks once again !!!!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

My pleasure Mike.

[@withowlseyewatch]

Fantastic!!!!!

[@tree9top]

Wow interesting thanks 😊

[@BeverlyWu]

Awesome tour - thanks for posting! 1. Bulb crate workstation - so familiar! :) 2. Ellepot system transplanter is blowing my mind. 3. Offset stacked pallet is amazing. 4. Need to finally visit their shop - have been staring at their signs around town for the last 15 years and never found the time. But will go this year!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Beverly. The bulb crate thing: the go-to solution to almost any problem on a nursery. Are you in the industry locally? Yes, those Ellepot liners really made for a great plugs. Love it.

[@DalhiaSun]

Thank you very much. I loved seeing so many amazing plants.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

My pleasure. Thanks so much for watching

[@cathymadsen2930]

Thank you so much for these touring videos. I learn so much and always think they are never long enough!!!..... it is always a vulnerable time for the grower to expose themselves to the online world so thank you to the owner also.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Cathy. I always struggle over the length a bit, because conventional wisdom says viewers won't click through to super long videos. I generally try to get topics down below 15 minutes, but preferably 10 or even 5, depending on what I'm presenting. In this case, so much of the footage was engaging and usable, I left very little on the cutting room floor, and then only because there was loud background noise or we were in transit from one spot to another.

[@cathymadsen2930]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm As you grow your audience you will see a shift in desired lengths. 90% of my KZbin watching is done on my smart TV. It automatically plays and longer format videos of 20 to 30min are typically what I watch so that is what plays. I need to actually manually line up smaller videos, which I don't mind doing when I notice they have uploaded. Do you watch Garden Answer? Their videos are perfect length ... KZbin suggested your channel as I like GA. I see your videos as a huge inspiration for me to take the next step of selling my seedlings and cuttings .... as a home grower I always over produce!

[@cathymadsen2930]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm but I'm sure longer videos also take more time to edit.... being a creator is a job in itself so really you have 2 jobs!
