Neighbor Garden Tour

[@luigi298]

I can tell the birds are also a big fan of her garden.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Love the magenta entry door + arbour. The gatdener who creates this garden, and who convinced the city fathers to use STONE rather than concrete to construct thatwater canal -- at least where it passes through residential spaces, is a conpelling genius. A real, and an articulate, gardener would know how to persuade those folks. What an incredible gift to Raleigh, she is reaponsible for!

[@elsagrace3893]

Thank you, home owner! You certainly like to garden. You’ve got to be out there every day to keep it so nice.

[@katherinec7698]

I go back and forth between wanting garden rooms and wanting big border gardens with an open middle. Depends on which garden tour I’m watching. So wishy-washy of me. ☺️Lovely garden!

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

Same here? What did you decide?

[@katherinec7698]

@@heartofdixieprepping4797 I’m still thinking 🙂 At the moment my back garden has side and back borders and a large oblong center garden. I may connect the center garden (with a few taller shrubs) to the side border which would create a back garden room. Happy Gardening!

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

@@katherinec7698 that sounds great! I've started on small projects for next spring. I never realized there was so much to do in fall to prepare for spring. Happy gardening to you as well. 🧡💛🤎🍂🍁

I opted for open views that I can see from my porch and windows, as I am in zone 6b in PA.

[@katiekane5247]

Just nothing like a mature landscape! No matter the extravagance of a new planting, I love a garden where I can know the gardener by seeing what they've created & nurtured. Very nice space, just lovely use of their yard. Thanks Jim & homeowners!

[@JimPutnam]

This has definitely been a labor of love! Thanks for watching!

[@SMElder-od5cl]

I like the idea of letting plants limb themselves up.

[@suzetteccc]

Thanks you guys for doing this video. I have been dying to see one that resembles (I use the term loosely) mine. Mine is smaller, but is surrounded by big cedars, firs and dogwoods. I'm about zone 7b (just going a little below freezing now), full and part shade, with a spot or two of almost full sun. I'm grateful to the owner for sharing her garden. It is truly beautiful with so much variety. I have learned much from it and will watch it again. 💚

[@freedomofreligion3248]

This is a BEAUTIFUL, purposeful, sweet garden. This lady must be a very lovely human being, with a lot of light in her eyes. Thanks for sharing this with us!!

[@TheRedverb]

That intro was fire. Love it.

[@saraw8503]

I am so jealous of the contour that Piedmont gardeners get. Here on the coast everything is flat. We all covet the conditions other gardeners have.

[@mollypitcher9380]

A LOT of work and maintenance has gone into this beautiful garden. The casual observer would never know. Thank you miss for the tour. I bet you’re out in the yard right now!🌸

[@janetleeharrison]

I love her gardens! And I really admire her for convincing them to use stone instead of concrete for the drainage creek. Now its a beautiful and surprising addition to the back garden. Her property is unique & maybe even challenging. Yet she didn't let that prevent her from making it stunning. Well done! Thank you Jim ,Stef, and the homeowner!

[@elmaelmar2761]

Wow what a beautiful garden!! I love those pink iris by the beautiful door!!

[@upnorth21]

Yes, BIG thanks to homeowner for letting us see that beautiful garden, so cool to have the water running through it with the beautiful canal stone instead of cement. Shade has so much beauty! Thank you for filming it!

[@lilyw.1788]

I am surprised to see only a few hostas esp where there’s hundreds of varieties. And no heucheras ! Def need texture layering with a shaded garden . I love how everything feels like it been there for hundreds of years. It’s like walking thru well curated trails in her garden

[@marionallen2222]

So beautiful!!! I love the hills and slopes and rooms it’s perfect! Great find!!! I love these neighborhood tours of “ real” gardens 🌿🪴🌺💚🤍🍀☀️😀

[@carolrose4784]

Now that is a garden delight! Wow how exquisite! Only the love of a gardener and time can create such a beautiful space! Thank You for sharing!

[@jenniferhooks2454]

What an absolutely gorgeous garden with color and textures and layer upon layer. The homeowner has very lovingly cared for her garden. I envy her high shade., Tornadoes from Hurricane Dorian took out my big shade trees in my backyard. Please thank her for allowing us to see her beautiful landscape. Great video!

[@junesmart7352]

The garden of my dreams! It's hard to even realize there's a city surrounding it. So peaceful, so lovingly tended. Thanks for this tour.

[@liweilihui]

thank you Jim. Another wonderful garden!

[@ScottyOn1]

Wow!!! What a garden! Thanks for touring us.

[@juliabinford6500]

The use of shade speaks to me. Some very large trees are changing my own garden over time. I particularly like limbing up woody shrubs into tree form. What a good steward of her garden. Admirable!

[@dianeasberry7928]

Oh my gosh, stunning garden.

[@freyartz]

Wow, loved it!! Thanks for sharing, what a beautiful treat!

[@ElizabethM824]

Thanks to the homeowner for allowing you to share her garden with us. It's just spectacular! I love all the changes in elevation and the beautiful rooms created. I would love to see it again in the fall and winter.

[@mamiemw6418]

Ya never know what you’ll learn from one of Jim’s videos. I learned that magnolias lose leaves in May in my zone. That’s significant because we planted an expensive magnolia in March and I thought I had killed it because it dropped most of its leaves. What a stress reliever to know that’s natural! Thanks Jim!

[@mollypitcher9380]

Gardening can be scary. Who knew! 🌸

[@carlapavao2955]

Love watching the tours!!!

[@carolpipher4839]

🌿 ~Wow! Totally gorgeous garden! Destinations, rooms, secret spaces, wooded & tranquil, textures, colors, beautiful shrubs & limbed up trees! ~A well-planned work of art! Just explodes w/interest! My kind if garden! ~❤ 👍❤👍💯👍❤👍💯👍💫

[@thepsychgarden]

This is one of my favorite gardens you’ve toured! I always love a beautiful shade garden where someone has pushed the limits of what can be in part shade

[@Tofog22000]

What a beautiful well-established garden even the steps are attractive! Thanks for sharing!

[@lblak59]

What a treat….many thanks to the home owner for the tour. Magnificent gardens.😍

[@jessamydavis8912]

What a treat. This is truly a beautiful garden. Many thanks to the homeowner for allowing us to be inspired by her amazing creation.

[@sashastarshanti3599]

Wow! What a wonderful treat to get to see such a beautifully established old growth Raleigh garden. For someone who lives at the beach in NC I don't get to peak in the back yards when traveling through Raleigh--but some of the home gardens I see from the road are so special and cared for there. Thank you again for the joy of getting a tour through this gorgeous NC landscape.

[@caseym3073]

What a lovely garden. I'm so glad she let you share it.

[@deannahaworth7666]

What a beautiful garden , I loved seeing it

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching!

[@MattMurrah]

Can u tell us more about what’s going on beneath the soil line on hilly areas that makes them “well drained”? Not sure I understand what you were saying…. Maybe a whole video on it or maybe cover it in a Q&A?

[@jennifernash4638]

I have a lot of hilly areas and this gareden has really shown me what's possible (and also confirmed moving my rhododendron to the top of one of those hills was a good move.) Maybe in 30 years I'll have a beautiful space like this, too! Just gorgeous.

[@katherinecornette5315]

Amazing all the colors & textures in this garden!

Of all the garden tours, this one resonates with me the most given the steep slopes and shade! What she's done with her garden gives me hope! Thank you and the homeowner for sharing her beautiful garden with us!

wow ... a magnificant garden indeed ... so many different and diverse plants & shrubs & trees ... it must bring a great deal of joy to the homeowner ... please pass along my thanks to them for allowing us to wander thru, with you, on a lovely spring day !!!!

[@sharonjamesmcgee5696]

Thank you touring a shade garden. We have more shade than Sun at our home and it has taken me a few years to reset my mind, having lived in a home with no shade. I’m beginning to value the layers of green.

[@robinschuster4305]

Beautiful! Thanks for making the neighborhood connection so you could film this for us! Lots of love, sweat and years of hard work here.

Beautiful garden !!! And impressed how well you know every single plant. Thank you for the tour !!!🌳

[@karenmuhlig8185]

Grogeous garden and 🌹

[@dylan8285]

So beautiful the elevation change is kinda crazy in such a short amount of space. Guessing the recently redone area the ivy was probably just gotten back under control. As it is all though that canal and loving its life with all that moisture then the seeds just float down the water spreading its self all about

[@katiekane5247]

The canal really encourages wildlife, I'm sure. Lots of birds,maybe frogs too. Likely some drawbacks but the rock work is gorgeous.

[@jeane561]

A beautiful mature garden. I enjoyed the tour Jim😊❤️😊

[@adoster2008]

Love that garden and frequently walk pass it during morning walks! She has done an amazing job. I am in awe.

[@kaylac3367]

Her garden is really beautiful! I'm curious how she's watering it all? Thank you for sharing these mature gardens. Gives us great ideas and inspiration.

[@southerncharmed4118]

Once you have an established garden such as this one, that has been there for years, there is very little, if any, watering to be done.

[@serenitynowgarden3618]

I don't know how you come across all of these amazing gardens, but wow! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@redbougainvillea]

Such a stunning space, in general and especially given all the shade. So glad she let you film it. Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration!

[@Joemnc]

Absolutely beautiful garden……

[@sharonjamesmcgee5696]

Thank you for a mostly shade garden tour. Our new-ish home is mostly shade and it has taken me a while to appreciate the beauty of “just” foliage, having had a landscape with almost no shade prior.

[@kso808]

I love the idea of succession perennial gardening. Always something to look forward to! Also, interesting concept about limbing up trees, to allow more light.

[@lrieke8300]

Fantastic! Thank you.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Just beautiful🌳🌸🌲

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

Absolutely love that garden. You said they’ve lived there for 40 years so I am assuming they’re a bit older, how on earth do they maintain that place or do they have landscapers that come and do a lot of of it? That property would be my dream. I’ve learned so much about under planting from you and I’ve started my young garden by taking what is here and making the most of the property. I’m having fun TRAINING shrubs into trees, and under planting with wonderful new plants. Thank you for all you do to help us new gardeners out.

[@AleksandraDeegan]

Stunning garden. Thanks to the talented gardener for sharing

Hi. Greetings from Madoc,Ontario…I’m new to your channel and just love your tutorials…I was looking at you planting peonies I planted two garden beds..five in the biggest garden and 4 in the smaller bed. Those peonies are spreading a lot. I will need to dig out and replant sometime soon. I bought a yellow hybrid half price for 40 dollars for it and never regretted paying that much for a plant. I look forward to ch3cki g out your videos. Happy gardening to us all. Blessings

[@llmphotos]

I love this gorgeous property! It has inspired me in Florida with my tall oak trees in my yard making most of it part shade. Thank you so much for taking the time to walk through this garden. I am saving it.☺️
