Garden Tour Part 1

Part 1 of a tour of my 37 year old garden I did for a class that I teach at NC State.

[@jjcameron7977]

What a delight to find you on youtube, Bryce. My husband Ken Pomer was in your class at NC State and you welcomed me whenever I could join y'all! I learned so much which has continued to thrive. Thank you for all this!

[@batzratzluvhate5889]

Your gardens are incredible and your knowledge is vast. Thank you for posting

[@Losttouchjs]

Grass is the foundation of any Garden landscape! They complement each other!

[@FumblingwithFlowers]

Outstanding. Subbed! One day I would love to build a garden as beautiful as this, even a tiny percent this good.

[@dawndavis649]

Enjoyed the garden tour! I took your horticulture class at NCSU when you first arrived. I remember potting up plants and tours of plants around campus. It was one of my favorite classes at State.

[@harriettpavonrosado5175]

I’m called the Plant 🪴 Lady. I enjoy collecting different plant. Oak Leaf Hydrangeas are worth the money. Also, I like conifers. Enjoyed your tour. I live in Franklinton.

[@deb_bee_]

Saw the tour you gave HorTube withJim Putnam about 6 days ago. Your garden is amazing. I’m in ❤. Had to come check you out. Such patience.

[@tammyjones163]

Do you ever just go out there and lay down on your green island??

[@ejohnson3131]

10:00 I was so confused by the runner who comes into screen and looks like he takes some stairs to climb into your tree. Had to take a second look and he's actually getting in that van! 😂 The concept that you're explaining about "blurring the lines" of your property to make it appear bigger is called "borrowed landscape". I do that a lot when you can see the neighbors' homes. Plant the right tree or shrub to block their house, but still see their landscape (trees and plants). It looks like your property goes on forever and you're in a forest with mountains in the distance (in my case).

[@souslesbombes]

"to know that I'll be buried in my garden is pretty cool". Yes it is, agreed!

[@mytherapygarden3909]

I love you garden. Truly a gardener’s garden. Let’s be gardening friends.

[@76adrienne]

LOVE Japanese maples! The color they bring and the dainty leaves is just stunning

[@gaillowe8122]

Strangely , for your garden being so old, most of your plants are tiny. And be careful, Ligularia can be very invasive and like very wet conditions .

[@CottageGardensonForest]

Where do you source all of your pine needle mulch? How often does it have to be replenished or replaced? I’m slowly but surely replacing my lawn with gardens and am interested in creating a similar garden in my front yard. This property had lost all but one of its large shade trees in an ice storm prior to me purchasing it so there’s a blank slate. I’m in zone 8 and am curious what zone you’re in and if you ever have trouble with all the plants you’ve used that spread via rhizomes? I typically only use plants like those in large ceramic containers. How many years did it take your climbing hydrangea on your arbor to begin blooming? Thanks 😊

[@christinayip6795]

Beautiful garden. Impressive dry stacked stone wall... Lots of sweat equity. I also love Japanese Maple, and Ligularia. Never seen a weeping boxwood, very nice winter structure. Thank you for the excellent narrative of background stories as you guided the garden tout. New subscriber !

[@sakinamirsultan6072]

I love your garden, it's so beautiful. It is really an eyes soothing to see. It is not easy to care for all that plants, it needs hard work to do all that. I wish I could have such a beautiful garden. Happy gardening and love from Malaysia 🇲🇾.

[@carolaltom9571]

I am really enjoying this video and have a question for someone like you who enjoys plants instead of grass. I live in Northwest Arkansas, zone 6, and have a fenced in backyard (privacy fence) that is almost an acre. It is all grass except for one large tree. I would like to start planting gardens and want one that eventually looks like your gardens, but I don't know where to start! Do I start planting trees willy-nilly or start cutting out beds in the grass? it's such a large space I get overwhelmed trying to figure it out.

[@christinamize616]

Carol Altom I just purchased a home on 13 acres (very long driveway) and huge probably 1-2 acre yard around the house. There was one huge Pine tree and 2 pecan trees. We've started by planting many more trees willy-nilly lol but I don't really know where to go next it's very overwhelming

[@jeane561]

Your gardens are fantastic. Wonderful variety of plants. We live in Va. zone 7. We also collect Japanese Maples. Such a wonderful tree. I did subscribe to your channel 😊

[@8helenjhouston8]

I LOVE the size of your lawn - that is my goal!

[@gaillowe8122]

I have every plant that you showed in my gardens and most of the Japanese maples as well. My ginger is a different variety , smaller shiny green leaves. Epimedium, has taken over a ten foot section in one garden. I have full moon maples, along with, Orangeiola, and Waterfall.

[@mayfieldmanor5344]

Wow, 37 years of gardening! So beautiful! Thanks for the great tour.

[@rt3box6tx74]

INDIVIDUALITY = America!

[@julianna_maluje]

Great video! I like how you explain everything, makes total sense and it is very helpful!

[@anne7441]

Very nicely done, thank you. I love your enthusiasm. Please show us your annuals if you can.

[@lynnydonnelly9725]

Loved this tour! Your knowledge and enthusiasm made it such a pleasure. Rest assured it was never boring. I must say that I had really thought of the garden related to the community. You gave me a lot of food for thought and I am very humbled by your generosity! I just stumbled upon you and subscribed right away. I hope you’ll make more videos! Thank you.

[@theasianwitch]

hahaa "brace yourself!" your lawn is perfect and beautiful...I reduced my lawn to only about 5% of what it was...did not know about the 2-6x more water thing.

[@lauradaniel7596]

A nice big white window box would be so pretty at the kitchen window enjoyed from inside and out. Could plant lower growing plants in the middle so you can still see your birdbath. Might even get to see some birds up close and personal.

[@LostInThisGardenofLife]

This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing. ps. I’m going to apologize to the bluebirds in my houses for not pointing them southeast. 🤣

[@ksero1000]

My Quercifolia attracts...... DEER. I don’t think I’ll ever see one of my oakleafs in bloom. 😞

Wow! This is beautiful and loved hearing you speak about it!

[@kennyonufrock3382]

Amazing garden, great tour! Can you tell me what type of Japanese Maple is near your mailbox?

[@TheBarefootedGardener]

10:35 you’re using turf as a curiosity, in my opinion.

[@brianransom9631]

Your garden is amazing you can obviously tell how much thought and work has been put in. The rock wall is amazing, so extensive and amazing. Did you source all of that rock from your property?

[@susanlocklear2468]

Is that oak leaf hydrangea in sun or shade? I don't no if ill ever get this straight lol, but all is beautiful

[@tayh3645]

Idk about the 'southeast' placement of the bluebird house. I always thought they just preferred to face an open space. I have one against my back porch facing northwest towards the open area of my septic field. Each year it is filled by a bluebird family.

[@BackyardFlorida]

Very nice landscape!

[@TheCraftyPeacock]

Lovely tour! I always enjoyed ‘In the Garden’ on UNC-TV and I remember you putting in the turf featured in the tour. I miss the show so much, but it was nice to see and hear you again.

[@ChristopherEPineda]

Wow everything is amazing. I live in the area and walk JC Raulston often, I’d love to walk around your garden too! 🤣💚

[@dodie3031]

It's beautiful..Also the spot in the driveway is a breeding ground for thieves and criminals that want to hide..Be careful..

[@loriminnesota1870]

Nice job! Beautiful! PS - I agree about the US vs. European use of turf. We should be more like the Europeans.

[@cindybradley3543]

After watching all of your wonderful Garden Tour videos and cut flower videos, I just had to let you know how interesting and beautiful everything you've grown is. Never stop planting! It's one of the many callings that God has given to you.

[@lauramarello7998]

Beautiful garden. I wish my hellebores would spread out! Interesting about the birdbath. I put mine in the back of the yard where I thought it looked best, but it turns out that it is to the left of my sightline out the kitchen window. !!!

[@beverlypatterson]

Hi Could not help from noticing but where are your hostas? I am a hosta person and I did not see any. Love your Garden!!!

[@therussells3086]

I love your house color. What color and brand paint is that? If you don't mind. Beautiful garden.

[@claudiafernandez8998]

Can you recommend a list of shrubs and bushes that can be planted in the Raleigh/Cary area that are perennial and would bloom in the four seasons? Part of my backyard has morning sun/afternoon shade, and the rest of our yard has morning shade and afternoon sun. Are there some bushes/shrubs that are native to North Carolina?

[@pinkpoodle7100]

I love your walkways and boarders. Beautiful garden!!

[@mamaknows1062]

You have beautiful gardens. The Japanese Maples add so much beauty we wish they'd grow here in ft Lauderdale Florida. We're getting 2 Magnolia trees to plant between several groups of Christmas palms instead. Blessings

[@seachange17]

Why not use wild ginger or liriope rather than your little green grass kidney? To me that makes more sense, or you're just being comical.

[@feistycitrus]

Beautiful garden and tour. Thank you for sharing it.

[@P_Belle]

At 6:37,, does your illicium like moist soil? What hours do they get sun? Seems like you have over 6 of them? 8ft high?

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Thank you for sharing your garden with me. I just love how it’s all coming 🫑🍅🪴👍together and growing so nicely! I love to garden and I also make garden videos. I in my 3rd year gardening. I have so much to still learn. I’d love it if we could learn more from each other! Happy gardening 👨‍🌾 🌷🌼🌻🌺🌸🌹🐝

[@dawnreardon67]

What’s the name of the iris seen in the color echo with the Red Select Japanese maple?

[@lescaniagordon1293]

Subscriber #695. Thank you for the information provided during the tour. You have a lovely garden.

[@AndYourLittleDog]

I think I *need* that ligularia in my life

[@erfan4244]

I'd plant nitrogen fixing ground cover or living mulch so the wood chips or soil wouldn't stand out too much

[@jenniferapiary]

Hi from Alamance County in North Carolina thanks for the video I really miss watching your garden shows on unc-tv

[@christileach4644]

Absolutely gorgeous garden! I’ve never heard heucheras referred to as floss flower - only as coral bells. We learn something new every day! Thank you for sharing!

[@brianransom9631]

Just planted a bunch of coral bells. Many varieties of heucheras however 👍

[@diversitylove5460]

Great. I like the invitation. Can I sit under the maple tree with my puppy and ice-cream cone?

[@brynnkohler4084]

Consdiering who you are, that "garden" is embarrassing.

[@SimpleLivingwithReks]

I enjoyed the tour along with your commentary without skipping a single bit.. I was completely glued till the end. would love to see your neighbors yard, if he let you take us on a virtual tour. .Subscribed!

[@fayahjudah2451]

Absolutely stunning..I'm in the process of making some decisions about what to do with my backyard...I don't want a fence..I want to create depth and density with shrubs,bushes,trees and trellises...While creating stone walkways..You've giving me ideas.. You're a genius!!!!...Love,love love it!!!!

[@nspector]

This was a delight. Thank you so much. You must be a wonderful teacher. Off to part 2. Oh, a question -- are those pine needles on the paths in the back?

[@harriettpavonrosado5175]

Color echo, Sight line…awesome 🍀🪴

[@elizabethflanders9659]

Hi, Mr. Lane, I enjoy your garden tours. I was wondering about the plant Asarum that you have planted in front. I read that it needs to be moist. Do you have to water that plant often? I have sandy soil. Thank you so much.

[@foodiesworldUSA]

I like to know where I can get those kind of granite stones

[@darlarubottom6736]

Love the garden. Your very knowledgeable. You can make some Prickly Pear Jelly, when it grows big enough. Adore Hummingbirds. Love the gorgeous Maples. Great garden, sir.

[@theresaholden7580]

I love your garden, but most of all I love your excitement about gardening. I also have gardening friends in the neighborhood. It’s so much fun. We share ideas, advice and plants. Thank you for sharing.

[@annadavis6361]

Help, my oak leaf hydrangea are dying and there is nothing I can see wrong? 😢, they are slumped over like they need water but they don’t. Zebulon NC zone 7. Lost...love your garden tour!

[@laughsalot3992]

Very lovely But I think it would be wiser to plant some plants that you could actually EAT. This one man I know grew a apple from a seed and now he is producing apples. His back yard has flourished into an awesome “Food Forest”. Good for his family! It’s truly Amazing!

[@edie4771]

Enjoyed your garden, thank you.

[@andreipretskaila8587]

We absolutely love your garden. Could you share what fern varieties you have planted? We are trying to plan our shade garden bed on the slope in southern parts of Charlotte, NC (zone 8a), and would appreciate any help we can get! Thank you for sharing this beautiful space!

[@SC4DR1]

Beautiful property, but that spot where turf is would look fantastic filled in! Turf compliments!!

[@Ellofez]

Great garden . Love Japanese maples . and OMG I was born in 1988! Lol too funny

[@fareebug8439]

Wonderful!!! Just wonderful ❤️ Thank you so much. Gardens are so personal and such a labor of love and a source of joy, peace and Wonder. Thank you for giving me a tour. I learned so much and got introduced to so many new glorious plants. Just lovely. Thank you. ❤️🌱❤️

[@shirleyjohnson4280]

I love your garden... and looking at it give me so much peace keep making these videos

[@GardenMoxie]

Beautiful garden.

[@suepercy8390]

I watched this video a year ago just as I was starting to create my next garden even before the house was built I realise I hadn’t consciously credited you enough with guiding me - especially with the 3 Cs ; colour echo; using informal cover on most of my paths (bark); boulders as an informal edging and not getting too depressed about the minimal scrap of grass I can fit. Thank you Bryce

[@julieannabaca5403]

Great video but what type of mulch is that? .. sorry I'm a beginner still.. got a start somewhere

[@melepling2742]

Can you ID the fern to the far right along your sunroom wall? Appreciate all your design commentary: sight lines, color echos etc.

[@vln4443]

Wonderful tour sir, your Japanese maples are beautiful, I can imagine what a little bit of pruning and layering will do to show off their beauty.

[@lambert1702]

I was enjoying your video/channel until the rant about turfgrass. This needs to be kept in context; where I live we average 67 inches of rain per year so water conservation is never an issue -- we have too much. However, the most natural thing would be to let the weeds take over and stop planting genetically modified ornamental plants. The time spent pruning and looking after all of that stuff could be used to help those less fortunate, so in that respect it is a huge waste of time.

[@lambert1702]

@@brycelanepowerofplants Some are GMO and at any rate my point was that a "natural" landscape wouldn't have all of that stuff mixed together and would require no inputs. And any amount of time you spend fertilizing, watering, pruning, or hardscaping could be used to help those less fortunate than you; See other people can act smug and self righteous too...

[@lambert1702]

@@brycelanepowerofplants Thanks for the reply and I'm sorry if I came off too aggressive.

[@patriciaterry5539]

I adore your garden! Where did you purchase your straw or mulch from?

[@carolinamoonslilenglishgar8580]

My goodness, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Your knowledge, enthusiasm, lovely background stories. The information you share is fantastic, what a beautiful garden you have sir. I will be watching this again. You're description of the ligularia is brilliant. Amazing vlog :)

[@stephenquina7555]

Really beautiful garden! What is the shrub up under the front porch behind the Japanese maple? Looks like a leucothoe to me but seems very tall!

[@cathyhatfield5340]

Love your garden and knowledge thanks for sharing👍❤️

[@timothycovington315]

I planted zinnias this past spring and they did well. If you plant them next spring don’t forget to harvest the seed heads. I harvested a significant number of seeds for next season.
