Planting Fields Arboretum Tour: Part 1 - Plant One On Me - Ep 079

I first visited the Planting Fields Arboretum last year and was blown away by its beauty and grandeur. Formerly the estate of William Coe, the Planting Fields is now a historic park and a living symbol of Long Island's North Shore, which earned the nickname of the "Gold Coast" in the 20th Century for its affluence.
It would have been impossible to highlight the vast acreage and sights that this park has to offer, so I decided to break up the video into parts, with this one primarily focusing on some of the outdoor spaces and the history of the Planting Fields. Enjoy Part 1-and I would highly recommend visiting the Planting Fields when you're out in New York.

I love those old houses and vintage greenhouses

[@melissapetrosino1642]

I used to cut school in High school with my mom and we used to go to Planting Fields Arboretum. I love that place! So beautiful there.

[@XantroyX]

I feel like I can breathe when I watch these videos. I need to be under the trees.

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

My mom grew up just down the road from the Coe estate back in the 1920’s. I can’t wait to see part 2 of this incredible garden and horticultural resource.

[@summerrayneoakes]

We go to the glasshouses in Part 2! Can't wait to see them again either!

Your existence and videos inspired me to have more plants in my life. It has been so lovely and fulfilling so far. Thank you!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you for saying so Ada. So glad!

[@MagisterialVoyager]

You're welcome! I feel like I should be thanking you constantly for your wonderful channel and just overall existence. I'd love to visit some of the sites myself, but, unfortunately, at the moment, I'm literally on the other side of the world. Well, keep up the good work!

[@lotusssypringa]

[@duckinaswing]

I went there on a field trip in fifth grade and I still think about that huge oak sometimes. glad i caught this video, bc I couldn't remember the name of this place. hope I can bring my friend who missed the trip there, I know she'd love it

I was upset for a second because you just let out one of NY's best kept plant geek secrets. 😁🌱

[@summerrayneoakes]

Sometimes certain secrets are better shared!

[@ikyitching]

I love the National Arboretum! You may take a look next time visiting Washington DC area!

[@DJChinChin]

Thanks for sharing Summer.

[@summerrayneoakes]

You're welcome!

[@karendangelo6879]

Hi! Your videos have been so helpful to me in getting to know my plants better and what kind of care they need. I have a question about potting. I was given a very tall (about 8 feet) Dracaena deremensis (I'm pretty sure) that grows in cane form. At the time I thought it needed a bigger pot and have since realized that the pot is too big, making drainage a problem. Is it possible to put a plant into a smaller pot, once it has been in a bigger one for a few years, without killing it or hurting it drastically? Thanks so much!

[@broodovermind]

omg... if his siblings have kids... they have to call him UNCLE RUNKEL!!!!!!

[@summerrayneoakes]

haha totally! They'd get a kick out of that.

[@fahadmominah]

[@ezequielmartinez3582]

Poor eye contact from the guy i bet he is nervous by the beautiful girl standing in front of him😉

[@summerrayneoakes]

He was a little nervous. I think his first time on camera, but he was well spoken for himself!

[@ezequielmartinez3582]
