Fabulous garden! I'm so happy I discovered "HortTube with Jim Putnam". There just are so few garden programs on TV...and now I can enjoy a garden program on TH-cam! This garden tour was enjoyable, inspiring and informative!
Camellias may be the plants I miss most from when I lived in New Orleans. Lots of varieties of both sasanquas and Japonica. So beautiful in the fall and winter gardens. Perfect for holiday floral displays.
I am new to your videos. I also live in Zone 7B in Georgia. What I love about your videos is no music while you are talking! Thank you so much for that! I also love that the names of everything you show us is on the screen. Thank you for your wonderful explanations.
Love these types of tours!!! That white fence out front was amazing! The tall plants & trees were in proportion to the height of the 3 story home. Looked like the house was nestled into the greenery. Walkway & driveway curving around out of sight ALWAYS works! Can't wait for update tours of this place too. Great video Jim. Thanks to the generous homeowners for the tour of their yard!
WOW!!! Great neighbor to have. Amazing how well the bananas are thriving. Love the upright Alocasia and has my favorite Rex begonia. Love the thought and layering through every season!
Wow, that yard is amazingly tropical. How is it they can achieve that? I’m in a 9b and struggle with a lot of tropicals do to heat without enough humidity. I shouldn’t complain, My zone allows me to grow an abundance of beautiful things I just would love to get my hands of things that I can’t have🤣😂🌸
I SOOOO agree with you about bringing birds & wildlife into the garden. However, I cannot keep the squirrels under control. We have such gorgeous cardinals here & they are my most favorite. What is the best way to keep the squirrels away!!!! $$$$$ so much in bird food!
Loved the tour! If the garden owners of any of your tours are willing, I'd love to see brief interviews of how they started, did they inherit the gardens, are they self-educated gardeners, their advice for newbies, etc. Also I can't believe how many plants there are growing under the oaks in this yard! I can never get perennials to come back under big trees and I'm scared I'm hurting the roots of the tree disturbing it to plant. I gave up.
Thanks for the tour. I have some Acuba and it seems to spread quite a lot. It’s coming up between my mahonias. It’s hard to get in there to remove it because of the mahonia’s pokey leaves!
It always amazes me how ppl Like you know so many common names and scientific/botanical names. You’re even more awesome though, being that you’re so down to earth and relaxed.
Great video Jim, I love to see how people maximize their smaller lots and especially in an established neighborhood here in Raleigh. Three thoughts: 1. Maintaining this place would give me heartburn. That must be close to a full time job. 2. Oh the things you can plant with no deer... 3. How do you tell the difference between the Camelia sasanquas and the japonicas? Just bloom time?
Thanks Jim for the awesome tour of your neighbors amazing yard! I learn something new each time and need to check out the 'sweet box' and I have a shady dry area along a fence that looks like this plant would do well. Also never heard of the 'carex' so I will check that out.
Lovely garden, so many interesting plants, hardscape, etc. (Made me a little dizzy though, would’ve been sooo much better if camera was slowed down, no need to hurry so much especially when panning. Hope you will slow down when you return)!
Great video Jim. Love the tour type videos. What gorgeous plants, I imagine in spring in summer the yard is stunning. The big leafed plant behind you in the beginning of the video is beautiful. I dont think you mentioned what it is. Thank you and the home owners!
Holy cow, the camellia alone had me screaming "JIM PUTNAM, GET YOUR BUTT BACK INTO THAT YARD WHEN THE JAPONICA ARE IN BLOOM!" lol . I've never seen that many Camellia japonica planted anywhere. I'd LOVE to see any of them in bloom in winter. Thanks so much for the tour but the real show (IMO), on that property, is mid- to late-winter. I also love that you put on screen the botanical names of the plants. Occasionally, you'll post the common name, which, I don't have a problem with, so long as you also include the botanical name. Common names ("elephant ears") are shared by multiple species and cultivars but the botanical name is the botanical name is the botanical name (colocasia / alocasia / calendula / all are also called 'elephant ears'). It might be spelled differently from region to region or country to country but the botanical name is sort of sacrosanct. You're about 95% consistent on this and I am, as a novice gardener, overwhelmingly impressed with your knowledge of plants but it helps if you're consistent with naming plants botanically. Thanks Jim! Look forward to future videos!
I know. The problem honestly is on a video like this it takes me a long time to label all of these plants. My single plant videos are a tenth of the time, but I thinking about it as well.
Love the garden. What's the growing zone again? 8b? Not sure if its changed from your last home. Cant wait to see this garden in the spring and summer when the homeowner puts in their annuals!!
Are you @HortTube with Jim Putnam fan of John Lord’s Secret Garden on you tube? He’s in Ireland, owns a nursery, and a madman with a fantastic garden behind his nursery. It’s in a style I hope to bring into my garden called prairie garden - big on filling the garden with flowering perennials and grasses, all with no empty spaces between. In contrast to his style I’ve begun to see most Southern landscaping as “plop gardening”, plop one plant here, plop another plant there, plop, plop, plop. I’ve learned so much from him, he uses a number of plants that we don’t often use. He’s in a zone 8 I believe.
That's a good question. Not that much in these shady conditions. The other tour I did before this one used screening plants to prevent weed seeds from blowing in. Always some weeding though
Hello Jim my name is Jerry I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and there’s a 40 question challenge going around and I don’t know anybody so I’m just calling you out on it so there you go

Beautiful garden. Please tell the home owners thank you for the tour!
These landscape tours are the best!!! Thank you sir!
Fun to see u exploring your new neighborhood!!!
Love this. Thank you and thank your neighbors for sharing.

Charming and so relaxing. Beautiful home. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching
Loved the tour. Camelias are so large and pretty. I want to try to do a camelia tree. I also loved the brick walkway. Thank you for the tour.
So happy I found you and have a gardener here in the south like me(SC), most are up North or Oregon . You 1are a welcome relief!!
Wow Camilia Japonica is huge
I SOOOO agree with you about bringing birds & wildlife into the garden. However, I cannot keep the squirrels under control. We have such gorgeous cardinals here & they are my most favorite. What is the best way to keep the squirrels away!!!!
$$$$$ so much in bird food!
Hot pepper bird seed
This was a beautiful tour!!!

Wow.im enjoying seeing the new neighborhood. So many camellias! Gorgeous yard.
Long time subscriber. Been here since you had a few hundred. Glad everyone is appreciating & loving your gardening expertise. Congrats friend!
Thank you so much!!
@@JimPutnam April 10, 2017 to be exact lol 👍🏼
Love the tour. Thanks It was beautiful
I am learning so much, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the tour. Windy and rain here in central Indiana. Fun to see other zones. Like the vegetable containers.
Thanks for the tour. I have some Acuba and it seems to spread quite a lot. It’s coming up between my mahonias. It’s hard to get in there to remove it because of the mahonia’s pokey leaves!
What a gorgeous garden! Just found your channel. So much knowledge and so handsome!!
what a treat! Love these little “rooms”. Beautiful and work. Lots of weeding work!
THANK YOU, JIM. You do such a great job!
Beautiful gardens! Thanks for the tour Jim! 😃💚💚💚💚💚💚
Looove the house and gardens❣️ Would they adopt me? 😄 Thanx so much for the tour❣️
So green and lush🌿
It always amazes me how ppl
Like you know so many common names and scientific/botanical names.
You’re even more awesome though, being that you’re so down to earth and relaxed.
Thank you. I still learn everyday and sometimes I forget something that I know while I'm walking around and it drives me mental.
I could listen to Jim all day, his accent is so soothing and he can intelligently articulate all aspects of gardening.
Absolutely beautiful!
Gorgeous!
Wow that’s my dream yard! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful!
Great tour. Very helpful. I have notes!
really enjoyed the tour. love to see what others are doing in the yards. helps to see mature plants in different locations.
Love the new video platform - beautiful and very interesting areas.
Great video Jim, I love to see how people maximize their smaller lots and especially in an established neighborhood here in Raleigh. Three thoughts:

Elephant ear. Thanks for watching
Hope you were able to bring your Soft Caress Mahonia with you, love watching these tours, please keep them Coming before winter comes, lol
This is the type of yard that I am in the middle of doing myself..no lawn, it's boring. I want a yard that is alive!
Jim, please help my azalea has brown spots with very yellow leaves. They were planted 2 years ago, an still leggy. I so enjoy your videos. Thanks
You’re so cuuuute.
what can you tell me about Texas vitex trees for screening between homes..(to avoid my neighbor)..good idea, or no.. Love your videos
Holy cow, the camellia alone had me screaming "JIM PUTNAM, GET YOUR BUTT BACK INTO THAT YARD WHEN THE JAPONICA ARE IN BLOOM!" lol . I've never seen that many Camellia japonica planted anywhere.

@@JimPutnam Thanks for going the extra mile. It means a lot to those of us with less experience/education in horticulture.
Jim Putnam is such a daddy 😍😉
Like the tours! Have I missed the tour of your new home ?
Jim. Have undone a review on Bigfoot Cleyera
Mr Putnam are you in NC or NJ now? Would love for you to come to Goldsboro NC and help me make our front yard prettier.
How do you have a big Alocasai /Elephant ear growing outdoors?!? Are they cold hardy?
Very interesting. Reminds me of resort’s landscapes. What state is it located at?
Love the garden. What's the growing zone again? 8b? Not sure if its changed from your last home. Cant wait to see this garden in the spring and summer when the homeowner puts in their annuals!!
7b. Probably 8 in the city like this. Thanks for watching.
what is the name of the plant at 10:19 with large round leaves that resemble lily pads?....stunning garden
May Apple
Are those ornamental bananas or the fruiting kind?

I’ve learned so much from him, he uses a number of plants that we don’t often use. He’s in a zone 8 I believe.
In 8b do we need to dig up the upright elephant ears in the winter or ok to leave in ground.
That is a tough call for you. They are hardy in 9. In a protected area I might leave them. In an open area I would store them or bring them inside
Can I transplant a crape that has been plant for 5 years?
Beautiful! Would this garden need frequent weeding?
That's a good question. Not that much in these shady conditions. The other tour I did before this one used screening plants to prevent weed seeds from blowing in. Always some weeding though
So, do you sneak over when your neighbor isn't home and film the gardens? 😄
YES! GET RID OF GRASS!
Is your new property shaded by large trees and contain open space?
I am actually lucky that is completely flat with no large trees. There are large trees nearby though
HortTube with Jim Putnam so you have more space to make it your own. Thanks
Hello Jim my name is Jerry I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and there’s a 40 question challenge going around and I don’t know anybody so I’m just calling you out on it so there you go
I have to wonder how five people have given this video a thumbs down?🤔🤷♂️
Love it but I wouldn’t like those huge trees neat to my house.
Raleigh is the city of oaks and it is hard to remove large ones.
Goal: remove lawn!
Bakker. Know
