The Garden is Unbelievable Right Now

[@jeanniecollier6763]

YES YES YES!!!. Listen to the happy birds. Please do a detailed plant walk about. I enjoyed seeing your beautiful garden in person. Only 20 minutes from my home in Durham and it was so worth the drive.

[@rnguyen2516]

I would be star struck 😂

[@jeanniecollier6763]

@@rnguyen2516 I was for sure!!

[@mechellemiles903]

SO PEACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL !!! WHAT A LOVELY TOUR...YOUR PLANTS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING!!! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY ENJOY A DETAILED TOUR!!! ❤❤❤

[@pamelacallaway3922]

Beautiful!

[@susanbaker2796]

For a gardner, this is utter satisfaction. This feeling of gratification cannot be beat.

[@karenschwartz5209]

Your garden is fantastic, beautiful, enjoyable to see all the great types of healthy looking plants. Thank you.

[@katherinec7698]

Detailed garden tour? Yes please!

[@bettenotap4791]

I don’t wear headphones when I work in the garden because I love the birdsong, so this video is the best. These walk through tours let me refresh my memory of where everything is in your garden. Identifying each plant would be the ultimate in another video. I’m puzzled that you don’t have more subscribers, the knowledge you both have is incredible. I’ve learned so much from you.

[@rnguyen2516]

Yes, I love the details that Jim points out! I always like to visit his channel first!

[@burgerboot]

Yes! The detailed tour is my favorite video(s) of the year!!! Also, even if we have already seen the plant, it’s cool to see the progress on how it’s growing/ performing

[@heatherw.2751]

I agree! Seeing the progression of the plants helps when shopping for my own garden. You can never go wrong with a detailed garden tour!

[@zoreslavazinczenko1060]

Absolute Y-E-S to a detailed garden tour! I will NEVER get tired of your garden(s), Jim & Steph!! Bring it!!! THRILLED for you guys that the tour was a succes! ❤

[@debrawingo8060]

I am experiencing extreme post- FOMO for not coming to your open-garden... You 2 have done such an amazing job with your absolutely stunning garden, but there is another side of this that I am just in awe of.... The long hours and hard work that have obviously gone into this garden , in addition to the HortTube channel, with the planning, filming, and editing is truly inspiring. I have learned so much in the 2 years I have been following you and Steph. When people see my garden for the first time they always comment on how diverse it is (clown college), LOL....Thanks so much for the tremendous amount of knowledge you have shared with your adoring public, and I personally can never thank you enough....I have also enjoyed both your LTG series and the companion series as well. I love consulting both series because they encourage me to keep going, and to trouble shoot as well. You both are amazing humans!

[@GardenHardy]

Absolutely stunning from every angle. You guys are such a source of information and inspiration. And Steph handles the camera so well, giving us an immersive sense of being there. Thank you both for sharing your beautiful garden. The patio is gorgeous, too.

[@ivettesantana4319]

i just love how your garden is not planned to the t or symmetrical. No definitive edge either. You just put plants where they will be the happiest at.

[@maryk1668]

I thought the same thing!

[@daymoonfarm2903]

A detailed garden tour would be greatly appreciated! Every time i watch your channel, i see another plant that I love and know nothing about.

[@jonathanbranch5158]

Really is unbelievable and at the perfect time for the open garden event. Would love a detailed garden walk or area-by-area like the ones last year! Missed Chirimen in this one!

[@sheila1961]

Yay! Bonus tour for those who couldn't visit in person. I found myself trying to name the plants as they came into view 😅 Also loved hearing the hummingbirds chittering away. Beautiful!

[@bronwynodonnell8548]

The garden looks amazing I hope your open day went well. The two of you plus Holly have worked your tails off. Cheers 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Bronwyn

[@jocubelo2196]

Looks amazing would absolutely love a detailed account of all the different plants!!

[@marywaldron2513]

Yes, definitely want a detailed walk about. Absolutely stunning.

[@kso808]

Yes, I’d love to hear more of your gardens’ details, especially during this current extended heat spell. Your gardens here look fabulous! I only wish that I could have gotten to your Open Garden last weekend. Love all of the bird songs in this!

[@nancyw5779]

🌟Your garden is looking so lush and vibrant, perfect for your Open Garden. Your efforts, Jim & Steph, really shine. I love this unnarrated segment, but would also appreciate one of your usual detailed tours.

[@judyrhine234]

Love some details but it’s so nice to hear the birds and Holly sniffing the flowers makes it special.

[@8helenjhouston8]

Since seeing the garden in person I can finally figure out where you are as you walk around your garden. A detailed tour would be magical!

[@MilesSherry]

Nature is huge in your garden so I understand you not using a bunch of “fixers” when plants go through issues. I definitely wouldn’t chance disturbing it. Love the sounds and love your beautiful garden! ♥️ 🪴 💜 🌱 ❤️

[@MilesSherry]

And, yes please, to the full tour. It would be a joy to get a thorough glance.

[@asaliden4584]

YES PLEASE! I would love a more detailed garden walk.

[@Mopoppy]

I'd also like a detailed garden tour, breaking up in similar sections, and filming at similar angles, if you can, so I can go back and watch the last one at the same time 😊 sorry a lot to ask!!❤

[@HoosierDaddy_]

YES! A full garden tour is a must! It's so informative to us as you show us and explain the changes. It's a wealth of knowledge you give to us on the full garden tours.

[@Matthew-ec6vk]

Yeah man, I would love some detailed videos of the garden and the current growing conditions of each. Honestly, we would enjoy any of your videos, even if it was you documenting on how you wash the dishes 😂 just love your approach to everything!

[@yaindyroque12]

I still go back and watch your old garden tours, it’s just lush and beautiful. Definitely garden goal for me. I would another detail garden tour.

[@florneiers5651]

So beautiful. My favorite concept is how well you accomplished the different rooms. That’s a problem I have. ♥️🌻♥️

[@wpvines6092]

Yes lets have a full garden tour with plant details, it will be wonderful to see!

[@evquinn2156]

You two have put togethers a perfect microcosm of what I think Eden would be. Living in central Florida I can’t grow much of what you have in NC. I gardened in RI for 55 years and always knew NC was the ideal garden spot. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge so beautifully.

[@staceya419]

Hi Jim and Steph, could do talk on the family of plants you have in your garden. For example, could talk about all the salvia you have growing in your garden.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

ABSOLUTELY, would LOVE a "detailed tour", complete w plant names!!!!

[@robintranchina6588]

Yes please, a detail list of plants would be glorious! Your patio turned out great! I so enjoy watching you and Steph; thank you for bringing us along with you in everything you do.

[@L4sleeko]

It was clever the way you incorporated the black netting and fences for support and protection without making them obvious. Bingo, perfect. 👌

[@jennifergreene8891]

Good morning Jim and Stephanie! WOW!! everything is so lush and beautiful!!! 😍 I would love a detailed tour. Thank you for sharing your lovely garden. 🙏

[@poetryandpower263]

Please do a detailed tour in sections. In 4 years I have learned so much when you do those increasing my awareness and understanding of many of your plants.. puhleeze..God is in them details

[@michaelraywhite]

Yes please… detailed discussion and tour of each and every plant in this wonderful garden! Thank you!

[@leewillhite3309]

Yes, give us a detailed tour, please.

[@djmarcos69]

Yes please to a detailed tour.

[@marthaestrada8125]

It's amazing how much you can plant into a small space as the front of your house. Yet, one could take hours looking at and investigating each planting. You are so lucky to not have an HOA. Keep doing the great work that you are doing. It's spectacular.

[@judyhayes9819]

Yes! Definitely do a detailed tour of the 2024 garden.

[@amynelsongreen3243]

The garden looks amazing! Love the birds and always Holly. Yes please for an updated detailed tour!

[@aimeetetrault]

I would love a video naming all the plants as I’m still learning. I also enjoy tours just looking at the beauty and hearing the birds sing, too.

[@virleneprice9848]

This garden is amazing. Knowing the plants and what you have placed together would be great. You two,have done a wonderful job designing and growing this space.

[@marcishacklock]

The garden looks better than ever. So wish I lived closer so I could have visited in person. For kicks and giggles I used a bird app to see how many birds were singing. 15 captured in ten minutes Cardinal, Eastern Towhee, Carolina Wren, House Finch, Red winged Blackbird, Red eyed Vireo,Tufted Titmouse, Mourning Dove, Song Sparrow, American Robin, Mockingbird, Wood Thrush, Ruby Throated Hummingbird, American Crow, and Great Crested Flycatcher. Amazing ! Anything special you do for your Sun King. I wonder if it prefers a lower PH. Mine struggles.

[@leanderlawrence8312]

Yes, absolutely! I'd love to see an updated detailed garden video. Please and THANK YOU 😂❤

[@heatherw.2751]

I vote yes to broken down, detailed plant tours!!!

[@nellyhidalgo7349]

Detailed garden tour!! YES please!!! Knowledge and inspiration altogether!! 😍🌿🌺

[@JB-jk8pc]

Yes definitely a detailed tour of each plant!

[@PeggyMills]

Wow! Your garden has changed. Amazingly beautiful. Yes to a detailed tour.

[@NitaP1569]

Yes to the detailed garden tour with a suggestion to include pointing out and explaining why, your favorite plant combinations

[@user-yp2tl8rc7t]

That was very enjoyable to watch AND LISTEN with the birds singing in the background:) Your garden looks beautiful.

[@GardenKath]

Wow, you’ve got some REALLY fantastic plant combinations in the front yard this year. So many great moments.

[@pattik8335]

Yes, I would love a broken down version of the garden tour. Thank you!

[@AWITG]

Wow Jim this looks amazing! I've always appreciated how you mention the size of the acreage and a bit of a wink and a nudge that being thoughtful in a garden is the most important part..

[@lilypad342]

OH PLEASE!! The More I hear what things are the better I remember! And yes im sad because originally we were coming to the open garden however we only had 24 hours and the 8.5 hours down and back wouldn’t have worked But I cannot tell you and Steph (and HOLLY😘) how grateful we are for the education, information and inspiration! We love this channel so very much! Thank you

[@jeankelly368]

Great job! The shrubs and mulch are so beautiful.

[@Nature-Is-My-Home]

Stunning what the two of you have done!

[@karinhamann5019]

Soooo lovely and lush, Amazing bird sounds,. Morning is my favorite time in the garden to hear them. I would love a detailed tour of the garden.

[@5262janna]

I am a similar gardener .i am a specimen planter because i love most plants other than those with thorns. I am sure the walk will be a great success.

[@patriciacasey6767]

I saw your plant by plant tour last year and loved it! I'm ready to see another one. Bring it on!!

[@deechiodo6738]

What a lush, peaceful, beautiful garden you two have created! Id absolutely love a detailed tour of all of your plants! Happy Gardening!

[@margaretkennedy6719]

WOW ….the garden is really filling out …so many different varieties of plants 🎉 your hard work has paid off

[@SRizzo-ez8ih]

Love the idea of a full garden tour - the good bad and ugly!

[@ginnyraska9634]

So beautiful and peaceful! Yes, a detailed garden tour would be wonderful!

[@PatGranata]

This is a professional garden design. Very impressive.

[@noragarcia252]

Beautiful garden and yes would love to have a detailed garden tour. Thank you.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Yes I would love to see a detailed look at your garden ! 💐💚🙃

[@marybeth4002]

I will listen to anything you have to say, Mr. Jim Putnam. In addition to a detailed garden tour, would you entertain the idea of giving a tutorial, or instructions to get one started, on building the patio? At the same time, when you inform us you have been building these beautiful mixed patios for 30 years, I'm smart enough to know mine will look nothing like yours - but I'm willing to give it a go. Love the sounds in the garden ❤

[@Debbio2222]

Yes, give us a tour baby tour, with plant names also. Garden looks great!

[@natalie_tn]

Of course we want a detailed tour. This was nice almost like strolling around in person with nothing but the sound of birds.

[@bonniewillliams441]

Beautiful and Holly is a Love! Your garden changes the perception of small space.!

[@vinithakahandaliyanage4758]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!! You two have worked so hard to create this masterpiece. Thank you for sharing with us. !!!🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@melonieroe7310]

Loved this video. The birds are beautiful. The garden is gorgeous.

[@dia9491]

I noticed in Raleigh and the areas around it had some lovely hardscapes. I saw a lot of boulders being used which I loved. I don’t normally like traveling on the interstate but NC is top of the game with flowers and gorgeous trees just beside the road. There was always something to break up the monotony.

[@thomasnoble1816]

We love the birdsong as well. We do not have nearly the species diversity on a lot that is several times the size of the Putnam property. We have reduced lawn and planted a lot of natives. It seems to be having an effect, because we are seeing and hearing a lot more birds. Additionally, I was outside at twilight yesterday and the yard was full of fireflies- which is a new thing. But wide angle lens aside, how you two manage to fit so much in a sub 1/4 acre lot is impressive.

[@dianetemple4243]

I say the more Hortube tours the better! I get such a sense of peace just watching you walk through your garden. If I didn’t live as far away as I do, I would have been there. I have learned so much from you and Steph over the years I’ve been watching.

[@denisewax5396]

Always love to here you talking about your plants, regular garden tours hit the spot😊

[@angiecruz579]

Yes please detail garden tour, thanks 😊

[@jomassey4207]

Steph and you have been working so darn hard to get your garden looking the best it ever has. Congratulations on accomplishing that feat! Hope your open garden went well and you inspired others. One thing I would add is some pops of white colour to really show off all of your planted colours of limes, yellows and green perenials....just to soften the huge variety and let the eye relax to take it all it. Not just annuals, but something that can establish and return year after year and possibly be divided. Like groupings of shasta daisies or even the new banana and white feverfew, instead of the old variety. Also "white swan" cornflowers can break up the green..."white miniature guara" can also add some height and movement. Actually America is known to have a wide variety of grasses that have seed pods that are pale pink and move so gracefully in the breeze. Some more silver leaved plants would be lovely as a softener too. Dust miller and lambs ears are 2, I can think of, but there must be many more. The blue hydrangeas and larger flowered deep blue salvias are a great choice of cool colours and were a pleasant as far as colour goes. Im sure you have a huge variety to chose from in your area. And can you fit another chair up in the entrance to your home? Might be nice to add a swing seat for the both of you, with cup holders, to enjoy all the hard work and dedication you have both made over the years. Looking forward to the next video, from Jo in wintery NZ.😊🎉

[@mudchuk]

Yes!! I want all the details.

[@AlisonMWyman]

I would LOVE a detailed garden tour! I thoroughly enjoyed the last one. I would like to see how various shrubs and perennials have changed in size. I would be interested in seeing problems areas too so I can learn to recognize problems.

[@freedomfighter1734]

Yes please do the detailed garden tour! Thank you!!!

[@Tofog22000]

It's so lush and full yet still spacious enjoy for additional plants 😊

[@amandamorse7035]

I LOVE this video! I was bummed that I could not come see your garden in person but this is the next best thing! Its beautiful!!

[@BeesPleez]

Your garden looks especially spectacular this year! The color of the house and shed really add to the charm. I would love a detailed video tour.

[@karenmoring8217]

Just stunning. I love the combination of color and texture.

[@lynneriley7801]

I vote you do a walk thru or two and talk about what stuff is!

[@PatriciaNanAnderson]

This is lovely! Thanks so much for the tour. From nothing to tremendous in a very short time... Gives us all inspiration!

[@karencrane6325]

Just beautiful! I aspire for my gardens to be half as wonderful as yours!

[@glendapeters8899]

I like your "mixed material" patio! My husband of 53 years keeps bringing home rocks from construction sites he's on that would otherwise get thrown away. They've become the edgings on many of my flower beds. Recycle!

[@TenderfootGardens]

Beautiful. The bird song is amazing as well.

[@lindylou3519]

Ya’ll must be getting some rain over there. We haven’t had rain in a month now here in middle GA. Sure is taking a toll on the garden but…we keeping watering. Tall mature trees in the area sure does help. Wish we had more. Great job on the garden & so refreshing seeing one that doesn’t look scorched. Lol

[@maureentaylor4771]

I think we would all love a detailed video of the garden.

[@7tkjuj]

Wish I was there to see your beautiful garden! And would be great to learn more about all the plants and trees you’ve updated with. Thanks!!!

[@tinaroller1741]

Absolutely beautiful!! 💚

[@nedda2000]

Your gardens look amazing, and it's obvious all the love and attention you two put into them. At 13:52, I noticed the annuals planted in circles with one annual in the middle -- looks like begonias maybe. Love it! I'm going to copy that idea next year.

[@florneiers5651]

Yes…….. detail tour.🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻♥️

[@janeb.6b]

I'm here for it... DETAILS please Jim & Steph 😃!

[@mmo8570]

What a beautiful video the plants the sound holly smelling the flowers❤ thank you guys and yes to detailed garden tour

[@goldiewatts8820]

Would love to see another full detailed garden tour. I often see something in the background during your videos that I've never noticed or have forgotten the name of. More walkthroughs like this one are always welcome too.

[@anncoats4466]

Absolutely gorgeous, so much work, however it is stunning.
