This is the website for Nurseries Caroliniana - nurcar.com/. I brought home some interesting things that will be in a video soon. Thanks for watching!

[@jcking6785]

A “dangerous” video for plantaholics to see! Going to have to restrain myself when I go to his website. Visiting these nurserymen is such a brilliant idea, Jim (and Stephany). You’ve introduced us to some wonderful, knowledgeable people we would otherwise never know about and for that, I thank you! I love hearing the stories behind the plants. 💚

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching. The stories of the plants are my favorite part!

[@WoodlandT]

Interesting coincidence, I just discovered today that the 7 shrubs growing along my porch are osmanthus burkwoodii. I’d not heard of them before today. They’re nice plants, almost 7ft tall, small white fragrant flowers in spring, very resilient Edit - Fantastic video! This series of visits to experienced nursery folks is outstanding, one of the most illuminating on KZbin. I could listen to plant experts talk plants all day long. The only thing “wrong” with this video is discovering they do mail order. This is going to be brutal on my bank account 😉

[@gracepeterson7483]

Checking out his website now. What a fascinating man!

[@angiestelzer1064]

VERY interesting video! I could listen to Ted all day long. Thank you for touring these nurseries that a lot of us may not be able to visit in person. I’ll be checking out his nursery link for sure. Thanks Jim!

[@mitzi605]

Love his energy and love of plants

[@sophiefreshwater6040]

Jim, your giddiness was adorable! Thank you so much for sharing your time spent with colleagues, and providing a platform for them to share their expertise. Your series with fellow horticulturists have been a special treat amongst the weekly and monthly updates, watching your garden grow, and your gardening tips.

[@heatherw.2751]

Couldn’t agree more! While it’s fun touring all the other KZbinrs’ gardens to see all the pretties, these videos are by far my favorites!

[@lisaoswalt5233]

Going shopping Jim!!! Thank you for this interesting tour! I bet you could max out a credit card or two here QUICKLY too! 😁😉

[@elsagrace3893]

This man is fascinating! He is sharing so much interesting stuff. He loves plants like I do. Thank you for sharing him, Jim. Also I love tea olives so it was all even more interest for me.

[@JimPutnam]

The Tea Olives are definitely fascinating. Treasured by entire culture. Thanks for watching!

[@justincherepy7863]

One of my favorites as far as nursery’s go! It is 8 minutes from my house, and many of the plant in my garden came from Ted’s nursery!

[@JimPutnam]

That's awesome!

[@aalejardin]

I am definitely looking forward to exploring this nursery -- thank you Mr. Stevens for having a mail order business for those of us outside your state.

[@wmcovington1041]

This is what I’ve been longing for!! I’m so very excited to have seen this video at 2 am! I want to jump into my car and drive there now! (9 hours away). All of what was discussed I hung onto every word. Jim you are sooo very beneficial for us gardeners. I am getting a degree that I couldn’t get when I was younger. Thank You, thank you, thank you. You are highly appreciated !!

[@heatherw.2751]

Well said my friend!!

[@aletheaprince7717]

I'm drooling

[@lorraineclark3517]

Another video with great content

[@casandradickinson8518]

Thanks again for a wonderful video😃

[@MelodyHopkins]

Very interesting interview! Can't wait to check out more of his online nursery options! He is very knowledgeable and you can tell he really loves his plants.

[@cieramark7983]

Wonderful video!

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Fascinating upload Jim. You fail to disappoint! I can listen to Ted all day talk about plants!!

[@SteveL2012]

Oh, what a fantastic resource for those of us in North Georgia! Thank you, Jim, I have been holding out on buying osmanthus because of lack of variety at my local nurseries. This is kismet!!

[@rixeykelly5996]

Another wonderful road trip interview! So thankful you sought him out and provided a very special visit.

[@RichardGilbert2727]

I received a Sugarloaf Pink beauty berry and two Hummingbird clethra from them last fall-beautiful plants. They also survived our SW VA winter, which can be brutal on new plants because it can get close to zero and with zero snow cover! You can count on this nursery. I also have Jim to thank for talking up these species and varieties.

[@kaylac3367]

Fascinating! Ted has a wealth of knowledge. I enjoyed hearing about all of his interesting plants. Jim I look forward to seeing what you brought home with you and watching it grow through all the seasons.

[@2prettyfunnythings736]

I want more! Love seeing plants and growers around the area and country. This one has me wanting several..dang it. 🤩

[@heatherw.2751]

I imagine you were excited Jim! This dude is a total rockstar!!!! That variegated osmanthus is amazing! Thanks for taking us along to meet all these horticultural wizards!

[@jenniferpetritz5901]

One of my favorite nurseries ever. Remember my first visit there as a young gardener at ABG back in the 90’s. I was knocked out by all the cool plants!

[@adoster2008]

Fabulous nursery. Worth the trip to North Augusta.

[@juliespross9598]

I think this is my favorite nursery tour you've done so far. Love all the plants Ted Stephens showed.

[@joanncooper9146]

I’m so glad you visited Nur Car and interviewed Ted. I love going there and, even though my garden is tiny, I somehow find myself ordering from them twice a year. Candy store for plantaholics. Ted is amazing and so knowledgeable.

[@junesmart7352]

Ted Stephens, just like you, gives excellent highly technical information that educates us well. It is good to know the many details you and he share with us.

[@LitlPoot]

another great video with yet another fabulous horticulturist / nurseryman ... thanks for all the info on these fabulous plants and for the inspiration and encouragement to get them in the ground in my own garden - I just order two of the tea olives !!!!

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

Thank you for bringing this very knowledgeable man and another Nursery option to us!

[@christinetumm101]

This place is a gem and I am so fortunate that it’s a mere 5 miles from my home.

[@delainechildress1838]

I have enjoyed listening to Ted speak in the past! Lots of experience!!

[@slamrock17]

Love you Jim!

[@katiekane5247]

Spectacular interview, what knowledge & experience he has! Loving these vids, many thanks.

[@lrieke8300]

Very special. THank you.

[@cpaslick1]

What a great conversation --thank you for sharing it with us!

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching! I really like doing these types of videos!

[@aliciaconnolly1227]

This is the BEST video - absolutely love the nursery highlights and amazing unique plants - not only does is hit the mail on the head with what I like to watch, it also adds to my weekend trips so I can travel and visit all of them! Also love the garden tours around the Carolinas. Great work Jim!

[@lulubell711]

I absolutely love this video with this gentleman.

[@maureenmurray3429]

I enjoy them all the time in my neck of the woods!

[@elsagrace3893]

Fragrant tea olive are street trees in parts of San Francisco. It’s a beautiful smell.

[@tarawatterson4188]

What a charming fellow! Thanks for sharing Jim.

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

What a nice man. I learned a lot about Chinese plant culture in the beginning part. I never knew. Thanks Jim

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching!

[@TooMuch3835]

Ooooweee!!! Awesome content Jim and Stephany! I want to go there and soooooon! It’s probably safer if I buy online otherwise I’ll go there and want to bring everything home with me! Or I’ll want to set up my own propagation pots like you showed us how in you last video😂😂

[@kelj7711]

Fantastic information!! Thank you so much for taking us on such a wonderful educational tour! I really appreciate it. 😊👍

[@261COLLINS]

Excellent video!! Loved hearing the history of all these plants. Thank you for all you do.

[@dumbbear1814]

Love the profiling you've done of great nurseries and gardeners, Jim! Come up to Canada (Nova Scotia in particular) - lots up here to show you!

[@baileycook8761]

Excellent! Do more with Ted 👍😊

[@bethmalpas8766]

Thank you for this video. I really enjoy your channel. What an interesting nurseryman and incredible selection. I have heard and seen the names of some of the horticulturists and nurseryman you visit. It’s nice getting to see them on video with some highlights of their work. I have already combed through his online shop and placed an order! Looking forward to your next video. :)

[@roxannesinger-hassinger3676]

Enjoyed this video very much. I could listen to this for hours

[@michaelepetersen8591]

Fantastic!

[@JimPutnam]

Thank you!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Excellent video Jim 🌸💕🌸

[@csellers5818]

Great content!

[@crystalchunn6925]

Fascinating, I love these videos. You could have made the video twice as long! And of course, more plants added to the wish list.

[@creative227]

A fountain of knowledge and great stories! Thanks for sharing this!

[@8helenjhouston8]

All the right friends in all the right places!!!

[@ShamballaCenter]

Absolutely fabulous!

[@sassafras7870]

Can’t wait to shop! Fantastic video👍🏻

[@michaelepetersen8591]

Fantastic

[@troywiggins4318]

Jim, thanks for that little bit of info on planting illicium. Same thing happened when I planted a Florida sunshine 4 yrs ago. It wasn’t till last year when it started to takeoff and not flop.

[@rachelsgarden]

I didn’t know what to expect when I clicked play, but this was fantastic!! My illicium floridanum was planted back in December on the north side of my house (some late evening sun) and it wilted a few times near 32 but otherwise has been happy and tolerated heat very well in GA.. hope to add more varieties to my landscape. I’m fascinated by the different varieties of osmanthus are they all similar in size??

[@jomassey4207]

Ozmanthus can also be called Pearly gates. Mines in a pot, and has just finished flowering. Great winter interest.....along with Daphne and Erica and cyclamen. I'm looking to add some small trees that have berries for the birds during winter. Cheers, Jo from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@blancadejesus9464]

Love this video. So much passion ❤️

[@bassmaster95231]

I love my tea olives. I'll have to visit as this is a short drive from Upstate, SC.

[@RevAcres01]

Amazing tour I'll try and hold back when I visit their website. Thanks again Jim for bringing these knowledgeable nursery man to us.

[@jenniebatsel7993]

I love fragrant plants. Unfortunately I live in zone 6 and many of these plants would not survive.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

So interesting ! I’ll have to check their web site !

[@lauranoble2256]

Ted seems to be the only one who sells the Korean Giant Lirope and he’s sold out! Alas!

[@libbysingscontrezzo8419]

Ooooohhh! A new place to buy plants. Already filling my cart, although I hope they don't all sell out since it's too hot to have anything shipped right now. Would it be possible to espalier the Illicium Purple Glaze? I'm 6b, and have a protected spot along the side of my garage that gets some sun in the morning, then shady the rest of the day, but it's a narrow strip, so the plants need to be either small or somewhat flat.

[@catlady1462]

Great video! I've been perusing the website and I notice that some of the descriptions do not include the growth size.

[@lisawalters5482]

So lovely. You should try to bring your viewers a sampling when you visit. I heard gardeners share…JK. Lol. Tfs.

[@turnandburnroadtripssouthe8432]

Congrats on your “ted talk”

[@emmalavenham]

Wait, you are leaving and you are not going to talk about Corylopsis spicata? 'Ogon' is to me, one of the best plants for a shade garden, and is pretty cold hardy...

[@kso808]

Regarding the Osmanthus tea olive plant, is it at all related to the invasive Russian Eleagnus tea olive?

[@JimPutnam]

No, different genus and not invasive

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I immediately, even before watching, went to the website and added 3 plants to my cart and tried to check out. Shipping for 3 plants was going to be over $51.00 and that's too hard to stomach. I am bummed because I really want those plants. 😥 I especially have been wanting an osmanthus.

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

Shipping has gotten increasingly expensive...just look at what it costs to fill your tank these days🤷‍♀️

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

@@HandcraftedintheFoothills yes, I get that. Just can't afford it.

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

@@Gigi-fv9ky I understand....

Deer eat all my Solomon’s seal… isn’t it supposed to be unappetizing to them?

That variegated Tumeric though!😍 I thought I had enough Tea Olives, but maybe not! 🫣I collect Solomon’s Seal rn. I’m going to go broke! Lol
