Longwood Garden's CONSERVATORY TOUR - Ep. 308

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

Omg, I love Karl. Most times I find the managers of conservatory’s a bit odd or shy, not very energetic but Karl is wonderful and funny. He makes me want to visit this beautiful place and go often. Thank you for sharing this video with us all.

[@Dieppaloveplants]

Right agreed 💚💚

[@ahmdbgm9909]

That's exactly how I felt after watching this video. He's amazing!very knowledgeable and fun guy. I would gisot LG just because of Karl.

They are like photographers who work in camera stores :-)

[@grandmajane2593]

He is a performer, that's for sure!

[@donnieherrington7633]

Karl is truly the jewel of Longwood. He’s proven that in this tour. What a lovely tour he’s given us with your help. I can’t get enough of Karl and we need a new series with him.

[@collectorpalms]

You said it all. Karl elevated this tour to the furthest extent, it would be hard to replicate this anywhere.

[@karlgercens8718]

You’re too kind!!! It’s just my passion for horticulture that shines though☺️

[@Longwood.Gardens]

Thank you for visiting our Gardens and sharing your plant passion with us. It was wonderful hosting you!

[@michaelcowdrey1355]

I was here in the 1970's as a kid and I think this is where I fell in love with plants.

[@tahiakhan5839]

One of the most enjoyable episodes of plant one on me. I watched the whole video without skipping a single time! Was so mesmerised with the way he was explaining ♥️💯

[@jul.escobar]

Appreciate these tours I may not be able to see otherwise. You're so kind and relatable, fun to hang out with.

[@MollyDiBi]

I'm so lucky to be a local who visits regularly. What an absolute TREAT this behind -the-scenes tour is!!!!! OMGosh, this is awesome!

[@kathymacomber5115]

That gentleman loves yellow..he is so joyous

[@karlgercens8718]

Yellow, red, orange, purple, blue and green too!!☺️

[@egleaves7833]

We are annual members of Longwood and truly enjoy our visits there. We were just there on Monday and lucked out with the weather. The new greenhouse is looking like it will be a spectacular addition to the gardens. We can’t wait for it to open.

[@summerrayneoakes]

We also look forward to getting back to see the new greenhouse unveiling!

[@rudlekthebear3697]

This is what heaven looks like...I am amazed and speachless 💚

[@WeeBcDeutsch]

I really love his energy that make the long tour not boring at all 😊

[@delphinewhite715]

WOW! Absolutely wonderful to watch! Karl’s passion and knowledge is Stellar! Thanks so much for sharing this tour of Longwood! One day I hope to visit this jewel! 🥰🪴🌱

[@cherreedensley4994]

Greetings from Australia. An outstanding presentation. Loved to see some Aussies here and there. How about that Acacia! I’ll be watching this again and again.

[@yfrontsguy]

I love Karl's enthusiasm & passion for plants! He has made me see Longwood in a totally different light!! THe time just sped by in his & your company!

[@ja-uh9gz]

Absolutely fantastic! It really is another world away...to stroll around and be surrounded with such beauty. Everything works so well together and looks perfect. Karl is very engaging and knowledgeable...and clearly is passionate and loves what he does. Thank you for bringing this tour to us, Summer!

[@negativegains]

His energy is infinite. This is a man with pure passion

[@karlgercens8718]

When it comes to passion for plants I’m like a rocket to the moon! 🚀 🌙

[@thestoltzfus3657]

I'm so happy you got to tour Longwood Gardens!! It really is a touch of paradise on earth!!😊

[@chomama1628]

This tour was a feast for the eyes and souls of passionate gardeners! Thank you so much for taking us along.

[@winnifredmiller7759]

My dear sistah Julian sent me here …. And I’m loving every moment of this because of the nostalgic feelings it’s giving me

[@marieorr7283]

I just love Longwood Gardens. I grew up taking every relative that visited from the UK (they love their gardens). This was formally a private DuPont estate. I'm so glad it's open to the public. Every season of the year they provide lovely walk through tours. The conservatory is huge and beautiful. The Italian type gardens with the koy ponds are wonderful. Christmas is always like a wonderland. It's true that it is sometimes frustrating trying to enjoy because there is so many people. You can't relax when it's heel to toe visitors. Still worth the visit.

[@iamjograd]

Wow! I just love every second of this tour! Such a great marriage of plants and architecture. Thank you team Flock, and Longwood for this

[@sherriedennis4500]

I'm so happy! This is my home away from home, and I love seeing it highlighted! Thank you for capturing this snapshot of one week at Longwood. I love that our Wood's Cycad is just out and about instead of caged up like it is in Thailand. And the peppery smelling Cinnamon Wattle is another favorite! I'll miss it this year, but I'm happy to get to see it getting some love here! And I smile every time I hear the water bell in the children's garden. It's a comfort sound.

[@NatTayHill]

Loving Karl!!!! ❤❤❤ Seems to be a genuinely wonderful person.

[@CharlotteUnser]

Karl is awesome and his enthusiasm is infectious....You can see that he just loves his position and loves every aspect of Longwood! What an awesome tour. thank you!

[@Artnotes1]

Thank you for showcasing the gardens. Just visited it after seeing your video and I was sure to mention your channel. Enjoying your work as always.

[@jeanettesanabria7972]

What a great and informative tour! The camera man was absolutely on point zooming into the plants so that we can see the details and colors. They don't get the accolades they deserve! Great job!

[@Costachel77]

Hello @jeanettesanabria7972 I'm really impressed with your comment, I would like to befriends if you don't mind. What part of the world are you from?...Costachel.

[@mohammedfaiyaz380]

I must tell you that this is the best episode I got the opportunity to watch all the varieties in one episode

[@cefcat5733]

Yes, he is very colourful, thank goodness. I wonder if they keep a photo album, of each color festival. Good that Flock can document these moments in time.

[@SantaGiftShoppe]

Wow, these gardens are so beautiful!!! Thanks for the tour!!!

[@jsaysyay]

he's a very entertaining guy, i'm always fascinated/entertained by plant people because like, yeah, but still. i'd get lost there trying to identify everything, it's amazing

[@oknot24]

Thank you so so much for these videos, they make my days so much brighter! I wish you all the best!

[@summerrayneoakes]

You're most welcome. Glad you and others enjoy!

[@clarencesmith9882]

Exquisite was the right descriptor for Longwood. Incredibly gorgeous displays. What a fun tour guide. Loved his enthusiasm and am in awe of his knowledge and expertise. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible garden!

[@gelossanctuary7452]

Best tour guide ever! His humor is amazing!

[@shawnsasser4001]

I can't wait to visit Longwood. Just wow.

[@lyledeyounges1276]

So many ideas on displaying houseplants.

[@tammyreed6088]

Oh my that place is gorgeous.

[@brendanbang6636]

Exquisite indeed describe these walk ways.. in Karl’s words moments of whimsy and wonders… Definitely one of the best conservatories on display. What a treat. Please revisit again at different time.

[@civilizeddiva]

[@chuckrena8431]

He speaks with so much passion and pride, a man truly amazed and interested in his craft, may the gods bless him with a fulfilling life. 5:14 where is this plant and HOW can I get one💚

[@Tanamankarnivora]

Finally, botanical garden tour again, I love it, video seperti ini yang selalu saya nantikan dari mu, terimakasih Summer ❤❤❤

[@TheTashaDrama]

I know it's kind of hard to understand changing them out regularly but my gosh! If I lived near by id go monthly!!! 😍😍😍

[@asianangie7209]

I love how much he loves the plants!

[@karlgercens8718]

And this is just a snapshot of a full day here 😇

[@gardengatesopen]

Excellent Tour! Thank You ❤️

[@TroyJamesMonger]

Hahahaha oh my gosh. I had to stop at 6:22. Excellent music selection, Summer :]

[@suburbanhomestead]

It sure is a glorious garden that I need to visit, especially since it is not to far. I personally would love to see a bit more of the craziness of plants allowed to grow in place and adapting to each others’ space instead of just replacing them like legos. For my taste those “flaws” would take it from “near perfection” as he described to perfection. But I haven’t finished watching yet and maybe there is a room that is more like that as well.

[@noahmx9051]

There are a few areas that have established plantings. The corners of the entrance area with huge angiopteris evecta and terminalia. The childrens garden gets very overgrown. It is rn, and due for a changeout. I agree that it would be fun to see more!

[@fatimatangan2121]

Karl, you're incredible in your work. Greetings of peace from the Philippines!

[@linakhoury6623]

Wow🌺 what abeautiful and amazing view of this garden it is the most beautiful and charming plants and trees in the world.I love it .🌻🌺🌻

[@mickmckean7378]

That was a great tour of a fantastic garden. Karl was really enjoyable as the guide - he really does love horticulture and I bet has his perfect job right there.

[@karlgercens8718]

🤫 Don’t tell my boss, but this is like a paid vacation 😆

It's as if I can almost smell the scents and taste the flowers and petals along with you guys.... Thank you for such a lovely lovely video.... Will keep coming back to this multiple times I guess

[@karlgercens8718]

There’s always something in glorious bloom here! Hope you can come and see for yourself one day ☺️

Always love your tour episodes, but this one was truly outstanding. I’ve always wanted to visit Longwood and now I’m even more determined to get there.

[@meme5jack]

[@wandashaw3551]

What an amazing job to have!! I love visiting Longwood, it is one of my favorite gardens to visit. Thank you so, so much to taking us along with you and I cannot wait for the orchid tour!!!

[@JoeyMrTurbo]

Yes, you MUST visit the planting fields arboretum, and see the camellia house. It’s a yearly pilgrimage for me…. Right about this time of year.

[@alanconrad8490]

awesome tour....thanks Summer and Karl

[@Garnetspagrud]

Thanks!

Best tour by summer yet!

Love your KZbin plant channel. And now, Londwood Gardens, is off my list of places to go to. Thanks for great reporting.

[@sayusayme7729]

Beautiful garden path with a culinary flair, thank you 🇨🇦

[@ilseortega1102]

Wow! This is one of the best tours!

[@ArtfishStudio]

I miss your video updates! I'm going to watch again this coming winter season... take care

[@meredithyoung2420]

what an amazing experience

[@rubyhornik2]

You have convinced me to make a visit! Can’t wait! I love your botanical garden tours so much. I have found many of my favorite gardens from these videos, which I believe I would never have visited otherwise. Your planting fields arboretum tour was the first that influenced me, and I now visit the gardens every year on my birthday :)

[@reeseb8520]

What a fantastic tour! The orchid display had me all 😍 I'm excited to see your tour of the orchid conservatory.

[@extremechimpout]

Very good tour! The guy did a wonderful job presenting everything and Summer was brilliant as usual

[@juliburt3159]

Wonderful video! Can't wait to visit in person!

[@incifisenk9945]

Every minute of the video was wonderful 🤗😍😍🥰 Thanks for sharing this amazing experience🙏🏼🙏🏼🕊🙋🏻‍♀️💚

[@davidplants]

This place is magnificent and I'm really looking forward to that ficus diversity video! Saunder knows exactly what to do with the camera. He always gets the best angles. You guys do really great work 👏

[@joywall1102]

What an absolutely wonderful tour! Karl was amazing

[@mnbotanicals]

Added to my bucket list!!! Absolutely love the commentary in this one. I’m feeling so inspired and ready for all this snow to melt so I can design my garden. 🌸🌿🌼

[@SwatchQueen]

I love this video! I got hungry 😂 Karl is amazing! Can he give me a tour too? I would love to visit!

[@karlgercens8718]

Come and check out the garden and you might hear me sharing in the background….my love of plants and gardens isn’t able to be contained 😉

[@AUgrown]

Very cool. Thank you. Your tours give me some great ideas to use at the office.

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

🥰 🪴💚 love going on trips with you!

[@Joey-vw1id]

Great video summer, I absolutely love Longwood gardens! I really wish you had the chance to see their nursery area where they do all the propagation, That would have been a treat! Thanks for the video...💚🌿💯

[@grisespino5342]

Spectacular and resplendent, I agree! What a treat. Danielle from Northlawn Flower Farm on KZbin gives us wonderful tours and Christmas was spectacular! Getting a behind the scenes tour, priceless. Thank you Summer and all the Longfield Gardens team. Karl your so engaging and thanks for pointing out all the little details!

[@karlgercens8718]

It’s my absolute pleasure to share my love of horticulture ☺️

[@sylvievicenza179]

What a nice tour, thank you. The energy between the two was so interesting.

[@karlgercens8718]

When you get plant people together, it’s guaranteed to be a great time had by all☺️

One of my favorite videos of yours. Please go back and do another cuz he says it changes all the time. So many fabulous plants. And Carl was so very informative and fun to watch.

[@lifeofwonderment]

This was fantastic!

[@jareddeuriarte8813]

thank you for pressing him on the question about what happens to the plants when they are finished with them lol

[@connorb326]

If you followed along, he never actually answered her question. I was a gardener and specialty grower for a botanical garden and so many people lost their jobs just for asking the same question. Answer: perfectly beautiful plants -even organic vegetables are piled up in giant dumpsters weekly for the “changeouts” and then taken to a landfill where they emit methane as they decompose amongst all the other non organic wastes.

[@BenteDosUnoBente]

Time Stamp 22:11 is a Philippine native locally known as Bagawak morado. Very pretty! Like fireworks display in flowering shrub form :) I love this tour, Summer! Thank you :)

[@summerrayneoakes]

Fantastic! Thanks for the additional natural history on the plant.

[@kennewman7924]

Several years ago my wife and I had annual memberships to Longwood and would go down at least once a month ( semi-weekly in Summer/ Fall ) and marvel at how they changed things out. Always a new experience. It's been way too long since I've been back....this was an excellent tour. Suggestion: Go back for Christmas...it's not to be missed. Karl is great...now I want to go nibble some blooms.

[@jamiewestmoreland6289]

I absolutely love these videos ❤❤ thanks sumner

[@dewantoroo]

10:44 thanks for including this part 😂 I always wonder how sanders never bump or step into a plant while filming.
