[@rosiegold8562]

Love the info and video! Do you know which shrubs can handle the heat?

[@urchinsushi2041]

I can’t choose - they are all fantastic!!!

[@allison471]

Wow it's so hard to pick one, I love them all 😍🌿

[@originalchoochoo]

I have six Sunshine Ligustrum across the front of my house. Yes, I have to trim them twice a year. But it is worth it because they are spectacular!

[@p.h.c.1113]

Great shrubs! Lots of them I can't plant. I garden in zone 5b, so I am going to pick Golden Globe Arborvitae. Love the really cold hardy varieties, because many times I keep them in big containers until I decide on where to put them.

[@TracyBoyle]

My Mom has Alzheimer’s and when she stays with me, I put on garden videos because conversations are hard for her. We watched this video together and while is was GREAT INFO for me, she just laughed and laughed and loved this video. Thanks for making my Mama’s morning and mine as well. Her laugh makes my heart full.

[@onionguts]

😍yes.bless you. Gardening videos bring absolute joy

[@sharonann729]

My mom had Alzheimer's, too, so I can just imagine! So sweet! God bless you both.

[@karenschwartz5209]

[@jacksonpeterson6899]

Hi there 😄 you've a gorgeous picture on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated 🌹

[@sharonwright66]

Trixie My mom had stroke induced alzheimers. I know how sad and frustrating it is when they start losing their speech. I’m sorry you both have to struggle with this illness. Your loving kindness means a lot to her even though she can’t say it. Prayers for Gods blessings on you both.

I was directed to your video by a post on Instagram. My 105-year-old aunt (who has Dementia) absolutely LOVED this video (we watched a few). She almost fell off her chair with excitement when you did that flip!!!! Thank you for the AWESOME INFORMATION. You really know your stuff. I immediately save this video as a favorite and subscribed.

[@Jane-West]

105? That's awesome! He is very enjoyable to watch with the great energy and positivity!

[@jessespo]

Gardening videos are how I keep my sanity through the winter months and even though I'm a zone 6b in New England, I have to just take a minute to tell you how much I enjoy watching you! You do cover plants that work for me, so all is not lost. But, truth be told, even if you didn't, I'd still watch you. I love your enthusiasm and your in-depth look at what gardending possibilities are out there. Keep it up!!! 💜

[@beasty4545]

I've felt overwhelmed with my landscaping and have been paralyzed in making decisions for my yard. Your energy actually makes me excited about it rather than afraid to get started. Thanks for making such an informative video and bringing the positive energy!

[@32redrubies]

I can totally relate to you.

[@RealALSK]

Very sweet thank you ❤

[@kathylaub941]

Me too!

[@Jane-West]

Just start somewhere! It will come to you! He has a lot of great ideas for sure!

[@MiBackpacking]

Justin, all I can say is you got me all fired up for landscaping like never before. I think the handstand did it 🙌🏼 You’ve given me so many ideas for planning out my yard

[@sharonwalker4977]

On December 24, 2018 our house burned, and on December 12, 2022 our youngest son made his transition to a new life on his 35th birthday. He and I were about to do some landscaping to our newly built home but, everything was put on hold. He was my go-to person for everything & now I'm about to take on this project without him. And after looking at several videos, this video was just what I needed as a person that has never done any type of landscaping. It made me realize I can do this although his not here. Thank you so much for such an awesome and entertaining video. I love it, and I'll be posting my video or some pictures of our finished project soon.

[@RealALSK]

Oh wow, so sorry for your loss ❤ but thank you so much for those kind words many blessing and healing to you! We would love to see! ❤

[@darlenev5448]

Sending you so much love, mama! I hope gardening gives you peace and something to remember your son by. 🤍

[@Luvyatilyouactup]

I’m only halfway through your video and I couldn’t help but comment on your energy. Please, never lose that. I enjoy your channel sooo much! 💚 Now, I’ll go watch the other half 😄 These shrubs are game changers, especially Candy Corn Spirea.

[@IwillBEme4U]

Same. I came down to read the comments because his energy really kept me engaged and I just had to let it be known. I thought I got excited about plants but I can't touch him!

[@sassmcg2606]

I just found your channel today, and you are instantly one of my favorite landscaping channels now.

[@skgreenhouse]

Well, that is amazing! Thank you so much 🙏 Welcome aboard 😊

He definitely takes it as one! We crack up all the time about it! ❤

[@yocomment4707]

Is it just me? But i have watched this video at least once a month, i love all the information and the entertainment 😂, I have bought some of the bushes he shows here and some i don’t find 😢 but i love , love this guy, such great video.

[@RealALSK]

Wait until our next one! Filmed today!

[@tranlu3547]

I can’t believe I just watched a 25 minute video on gardening! I never make it this long on a gardening video. You’re so entertaining. You’re like a Blippi for garderners. Love your energy!!

[@solsticesummer982]

You’ve hit on the key to business success, EDUCATION! Everyone today wants to be careful with their money, and not make purchasing mistakes. This is great! Thanks for the hydrangea ed. I’m wanting to do them around my pool with an accent plant on the corners, I’m thinking of Bobos along the long sides with limelight on standard on the corners.

[@brookegray3875]

Someone give this man his own show on HGTV! It is hard to find informative and efficient videos about plants and landscaping but you’ve done it perfectly and with the best energy! Thank you so much!!😆 Also, I just got some variegated loropetalum but it is mostly dark purple? How do you get more of the pink variegated foliage? Pruning? Any special tips? Thank you!!

[@RealALSK]

The new growth is what is that beautiful variegated color! You’ll see it in the fall! 🥹 thanks for the kind words! ❤

[@DCC-dm8pg]

Love your enthusiasm, energy and education on shrubs. I recently moved to Lancaster, SC. So an hour drive to anywhere worth going to. I see a road-trip to your nursery in the near future!

[@skgreenhouse]

That's awesome! Feel free to stop by anytime! Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for checking out the channel.

[@lindsimmons]

We need another video with you & Bruce! Lost my husband last year, and your video made me laugh so much I forgot about my sorrow for awhile. Especially Bruce with his bbq snafu ... & the atypical conifer graft lol! Wish I had just 1/4 of your energy. Many of your plants I can't grow here in Nova Scotia Canada, but still watch all your videos because we do have similar evergreen shrubs/trees (my favourites) & gardeners can use varieties from their area that are similar in shape & colour for pairing ideas!

[@jak30341]

I could listen to you talk all day ❤

[@susielessard4304]

Justin, I found all the address information. You sold us! We are coming for a visit. These low maintenance shrubs are just what we’ve been looking for - color, texture, low maintenance - yay! 🎉

i love how fast you talk because some videos make me lose interest, i can listen fast and love your enthusiasm.

[@imacrapschick]

Ok, so I just love you! You remind me of my son- he's 21 and a total comic like you. You make choosing plants fun while I learned a whole lot about each one. Honestly, I live in Mississippi and would drive all the way to you guys for plants just because of you!!!! How fun was that? LOL. I live in zone 8 and no one around knows plants like you do. I need those low growing plants in front of my house.....it's a real chore to choose shrubs and plants that'll work.

[@evesanchez2157]

Loved your attitude. It’s just right. This, from someone who gets annoyed easily. But, you, I loved learning from. Funny to see you tire yourself out. 😂 Great content! Subscribed.

Just came across this channel and I just love your energy. Don't ever stop. It makes the channel interesting and keeps the viewers wanting more. As well as you make all the info easy to understand and why you would plant some shrubs together. The whole idea for gardens is you want to make a statement with the shrubs and plants and color for your eyes. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Thanks Justin. We are re-designing our front sidewalk steps to door and have a nice 45 stretch of walk with 7 ft wide beds on either side. We found your cerise charm and kaleidoscope recommendation in another video and see it here again. Definitely choosing that combination. We are a tad too far from your greenhouse (between G'Bo and Charlotte) but will come visit your nursery later in the fall or spring. Thanks again for that suggestion. I can certainly see the appeal of the contrasting colors. 👍

[@skgreenhouse]

Hey thanks for watching! Glad I could help! Most definitely stop by if you are ever in the area. I'd imagine you still have some great nurseries around you that would have those plants or could atleast order them for you.
