[@jancalvert5275]

TO Summer Rayne Oakes - THANK YOU! The video is INCREDIBLE. It is just.....precious. it really captures Telly's and us and everything George has worked toward his whole life. We really can't thank you enough. We are blown away. TO everyone else out there who follows Summer Rayne...YES, she really IS that talented, sincere, intelligent, witty, generous, eloquent, knowledgeable, beautiful and GRACIOUS. In this sometimes crazy, social-media driven world, she is truly someone worth following. Kudos to Summer Rayne Oakes!!!

Hey Jan! This is Ashlyn, I just found this video! Great job!!

[@jancalvert5275]

@@AW-1811 thank you!!!

[@franz4486]

It's so adorable how the owners are just spamming Summer with their plants. Lol. They're like look at this one! That one! This one! You can really tell they love and are proud of their collection. I feel need to watch this 2 more times because there really are a lot of plants in this video.

[@jancalvert5275]

Totally guilty. Can't contain our enthusiasm.

[@bemmas221]

Jan and George are the nicest people on the planet! I recently moved away from Michigan and I miss going to Telly’s!

[@jancalvert5275]

Wow. Thanks! Come back and see us when you're in town!

[@h3llonizzam]

This is probably the best nursery in USA

[@WooLiz]

I was gifted the readers digest success with house plants and it is honestly such a beautiful book!

[@elizabethnelson5891]

I always say, " If they don't have the plant you want at Telly's, you don't need that plant!" I live 5 minutes away from the Shelby location & 15 minutes from the Troy location, so I'm pretty blessed!

[@debrahaynes5305]

I think this is hands down, the best plant tour I've seen to date. I watch it 3 times.. It was so much fun. The owners story was precious. The only thing missing was me😊

[@approachableplantsbyjessie495]

the rare plants here are insane! i've never seen such a wide variety of rares all in one nursery before

[@sophieb86]

Everything wonderful in this, the people, the plants, the who.e story

[@soniawilliams6053]

wow you grew a lovely plant o like it so so so much right

[@ebrant003]

This was amazing. I enjoyed everything about this video, the nursery, the people, the plants. And I agree; begonias are the next wave.

[@abbiecinthed1130]

I am beyond thrilled that you featured my favorite green house. This is where I spend my lunch break almost everyday for a mental break. Thank you, they have an amazing stuff and plant collection.

[@Alexander196210]

I live in Thailand and have access to a lot of exotic plants, but these people have an outstanding collection and rival many sellers over here. Kudos!

[@makbruno1]

Love their enthusiasm and pride in their shop and collection

[@elmaasio8736]

Watching this was like a dream. If I had the opportunity to tour this greenhouse, I would need to be dragged out. My goodness! Such a beautiful and bountiful collection. I felt like turning the camera back to the tillandsias and bonsais though because I absolutely adore those.

[@liahmeliambro907]

They have a fantastic rage of philodendron!

[@albertvanlingen7590]

The best stocked garden centre I've seen so far 😃

[@pattycake5365]

This was the healthist greenhouse I have ever toured! I wanted almost every plant I saw.

[@thenakedpineapple3804]

I made a stop here back in the summer and was greeted with the exact same enthusiasm and kindness. These are two genuine people and they deserve all the love and praises in the world! 🤍

[@jancalvert5275]

Awwww. Thanks, Bri!!!! We loved meeting you. Hope your plant babies are doing well.

[@rhondadavis5387]

That is why they flourish, kindness goes a long long way.

[@petecilione4166]

Hands down, one of the best videos/ stories ever. I live in the Hudson Valley and Road Trip!

[@elpidakessapidou7361]

What a wonderful collection!!!!!!!!!!!! one of the greatest greenhouses I 've ever seen. Is this man Greek ? I 'm very glad. I am Greek too. I feel very proud of you and your family for what you have done, Congrads. Thank you for sharing, Summer.

[@jancalvert5275]

George and I are both Greek!!!

[@noer.mabano9211]

The nursery feels like your in paradise. It's an extra point working at the same time seeing those massive plant collections. 💚💚💚🌿🌿🌿

[@rowenadinsmore1]

It is so funny, growing up in the Philippines back in the 70's, in our classroom in the province, our teacher would have a trailing vine above the lined up 4 green chalk boards. The vines would start out as a little three leaf plant in a hanging water vase then by the end of the school year, it would trail around framing the boards. Little did I know those were the syngoniums! Now I know!

[@eraserewrite]

43:00 Wow, when he said people are on vacation, and he takes care of their bonsai and charges by the inch. That’s amazing. It’s like a pet. I feel like bonsai is one of the coolest plant topics. I always imagine bonsai owners take so much care and have so much patience. Very cute to see he boards them.

[@jamiedecker3234]

One of my favorite things about Tellys is when they have a bunch of bonsai in and I get to admire the work and artistry that went into growing them up to the size that they are

[@dr.niluferrahman8524]

Fabulous collection. So neat, clean and organized.was a pleasure to watch.thankyou.

[@theLatestkraze]

Was so sweet how they shouted out their employee 🥺 that would make me so happy if I were him lol

[@beerhog1977]

So many fancy plants in that place and all I go there for is few cabbage & tomato plants every spring. Lol

[@atomant_7]

Amazing showdown of plants & their names. All of u r amazing people ! Thank u all & God bless.

[@RonMala]

Love plants is 1 thing.. being able to flourish it for life is another thing.. 😉

[@MeiBabee]

I saw this video a week ago when I woke up in the middle of the night a 2am and couldn’t go back to sleepy. I thought about this greenhouse so much I decided to take a 4hour road trip from Chicago just a few day later. Trust me when I say it was worth it. Spent over 600$ on plants and didn’t regret a penny!

[@jancalvert5275]

Just seeing this now. Thank you so much for making the trip! Have a wonderful day

[@xXxXxCGPBxXxXx]

What a fantastic greenhouse!!! 🪴

[@MsTaylorRenee11]

I live in northern Ohio and travel to metro Detroit area for work… this place is definitely on my list now for stops! 😍

[@NeilGates]

I travel to this greenhouse from Niagara Falls!!! April is one of the best workers there!!! Absolutely beautiful plants here!!! It's so nice that they'll tend to other people's plants for the winter and such too!!!

[@dianemiles2720]

Field trip anyone? Forget Vegas, I would blow my whole savings account here!

[@luigilake]

These tours (of botanic gardens, garden centers, etc.) are my absolute favorite. Please please keep on posting more of these! Thanks!

[@MrHernes01]

Spectacular collection. Wish my local nurseries in Pretoria South Africa had such an extensive selection of rare indoor plants.

[@cixeau2449]

haha I was literally thinking the exact same thing. I think most of our nurseries tend to cater more to garden plants. we definitely do have spectacular gardens even if I just take a walk down the road I often come across really fun plants that aren't readily available at nurseries so I have a feeling that the plant tradition in our city leans more towards gardens rather than indoor plants. the more rare indoor plants tend to be found on fancy cpt/jhb based online stores.

[@nadethcrusch4603]

1 hour feels like 10 minutes if it's Summer Video. Really love this episode. 💕

[@doreenhamilton7943]

the automated seeder was amazing

[@felinesandflora2881]

THANK YOU ,THANK YOU!!!! for this video and introducing me to Telly’s Greenhouse! We drove 2.5 hours yesterday from Kalamazoo, MI to see it and IT WAS WORTH EVERY MINUTE OF THE DRIVE! I was able to bring home backseat full of lovelies including a Philo Goeldii, Alocasia Macrorrhiza (Stingray plant) and a beautiful Hope philodendron (plus about 8 others! 😬). Love your channel and you honestly made my day introducing me to a little piece of heaven in my own state!!

Summer, Tellys is by far the best greenhouse I have been to in Michigan. I’m about an hour from there and go every couple months. George is great. They always have an excellent selection. I don’t I think I have ever had a plant die from them. I was so excited to see this visit on your channel!! Thank you!

I must comment on the camera work, Saunders just keeps getting better, great subjects help, but you still have to know what you are doing. Of course Summer is doing her normal great job as well.

as a local customer I'd love to grab an aglaonema pictum tricolor (and I'm sure many others would, too 😉). wishing it was easier to get my hands on one. I'm grateful to have Telly's close to home and providing a great selection of wonderful plants. thank you Summer and crew for making this vid!

I'm going to have to make a trip here! My local greenhouses are sad or they only do outdoor plants. Its not too far away maybe a few hours!! Looks like heaven to me. For a small business they have a really large selection. This might be my new favorite place to buy houseplants (even maybe outdoor plants) I am so excited!
