Looks like an awesome garden center - so many plants! Hi Stephany, so nice to see you again. Griffin's portrait is so sweet and so happy to see Miss Holly strolling the garden.
OH MY WORD! I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that I’d give my eye teeth to have a garden center similar to Big Bloomers near me. Speaking of things I can’t get, anybody else jealous of the Soil3? On a positive note, Hi Steph; nice to see you again! (Love the lime green shoes)! Awesome annual selection.
Seeing this garden center and knowing how you have had such beautiful gardens, I am extremely impressed! Even if I had an idea in mind of what I wanted, once I saw all those different plants and varieties my brain would have exploded 🤯 and I would just wander around in a daze not making a single selection. 🤦🏼♀️ That has actually happened at a small Amish nursery near me which is about the size of your front yard and driveway! Having been in the industry was an excellent training experience for both of you! I’m looking forward to seeing all the garden changes and plants come together soon. 👏👌👍😊💕
Love Big Bloomers!!! My favorite for sure. Wish I lived closer. Always make a point to go there when in the area. Hard not to go crazy at Big Bloomers!
Loved Big Bloomers. I have a friend who drives all the way from SE Ohio to stock up on interesting plants for her large garden. Everything you want in one location. Can’t beat it.
I thank you every time I go to Big Bloomers for introducing me to them….great selections, prices and friendly staff…nice drive an hour down the road! 🌺👍
Ugh, I love Big Bloomers! I only allow myself one trip per year because I always buy way more plants than what's on my list. That hosta house draws me like a siren's call - I picked up a "yellow polka dot bikini' this year!
Zone 8b - middle Georgia..I divided up some daffs couple days ago. They had become large & clumpy & weren’t blooming at their best. My old timey azaleas look good & happy. Thanks for all ya’ll do! Happy Saturday ya’ll!
Really love your passion for everything flowering and green. Been watching you for about 3 years and have learned a lot and now that I live in the southeast I’ve been putting your videos into practice. 😊 thanks Jim
LOL, I went back to the video several times to share pieces of it and also to share the whole thing with friends. I loved seeing the evolution of the title. 😂
Jim & Steph, I cannot WAIT for your new garden space, those miles away! Are you going to share w us any plans, sketchups, mockups, etc? I do architectural models -- and, am going to do a landscaping mockup of my teensy bit of land, courtyard + terrace around my detached condo. St George UT 8b, arm of the Mojave Desert. Will send pix.
It was a pleasant surprise to run into the two of you at Big Bloomers. We loaded up on perennials and herbs. I groaned when I saw a small bay tree (Laurus) for $7 when I just paid $35 for a small mail order order one the week before.
Big bloomers! Makes me smile every time I say that..reminds me of granny panties 😜. Been going there for over 20 years! That place is Dangerous! Lol..cause you will definitely spend to much money. Great to see Mrs Steph making a guest appearance! 😀. Thanks for inviting us along
Jim, since salvias are a favorite of yours, especially for your hummingbirds and pollinators, I highly recommend one called Bodacious Hummingbird Falls. This is quite a vigorous plant that looks really good in hanging baskets and containers even. I had one planted in the ground last year and it returned in my 8b/9a zone. If you plant it in a container, make sure it's a good sized one. I have 2 16 inch hanging baskets that are completely filled up with one plant each.
ALOT HERE IN PENSACOLA FL MY CLIMBING ZEFREN DRUEN ROSE IS AWESOME MANY OF THE BIG SALVIA’s have come back I believe it’s cardonna gorgeous.. it’s been cool excellent weather and trying to get in as much as possible before heat strikes … THANK YOU JIM AND STEPH FOR SHARING WHAT AN INCREDIBLE GARDEN CENTER WE HAVE LITTLE TO CHOOSE FROM HERE I JUST DONT KNOW WHY… wish A KNOWLEDGEABLE GROWER WOULD START ONE HERE!!!! ❤
I am happy to see Stephany in a video again! I've heard about Big Bloomers, but actually have not gone there yet (even though it's about an hour from me).
How nice to find small 4 packs! Our local nursery sells 4' pots for $2.99. But only 1 plant. I still like that as it gives you a change to try new plants. Love both of yours enthusiasm!
Hi Steph!!! 😊❤ So nice to see you!!!! What a natural you are in front of the camera!! 📷 You just jumped right in! Really nice. I'm excited to see more of you and Jim. I can't wait to get to Big Bloomers!!!! It's about an hour from me I think. I'm in Angier..😊🪻🌷🌼🌻🏵 What a fun, lighthearted and enjoyable video. 😊 Cute picture of Griffin too. Such a sweet and homey way to start the video! 😊
Delivery is expensive way out where I am, stopped by the nearest Soil 3 retailer the other day, got a buy 3 get one free on the little cubes. Can't recommend their products enough! Found some Angel Earrings Fuschia at Pikes, still a bit chilly in north Georgia but they're gorgeous on my part shade porch in the summer. Hummingbird magnets, Cuphea for more sun. Nothing like spring in the SE! Warming up today, got lots to do 😊
Our Coral Honeysuckle has been blooming profusely for weeks! The George Tabor azaleas out front are done. We are starting to see a few blooms on the large bottlebrush tree. The lemon tree, grapefruit tree, and some roses are also in bloom.
🙏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻BIG THANK YOU for featuring places with affordable plant prices. It’s seems excessive and wasteful to pay $7 to $10 for annual plants. I’m even considering not buying tulips anymore since blooming time is too short. Reward not enough for all the work time and money invested into it. Thanks again, keep them coming!!😊🌷🌻🌸😍👏🏼
Green with envy I am about your Big Bloomers garden center. I live in central PA and we are fortunate to have Amish greenhouses that are more reasonably priced. I look forward to see your finished planters. Thank you for your entertaining and informational Hort Tube (from another Stephanie)🌺
I love big bloomers. I can only get there on weekends and it’s a zoo all spring into early summer. It looks very mellow here so maybe a weekday 😁 well worth the beautiful drive from chapel hill through Pittsboro.
Yikes!! These kind of places get me in trouble! I love going to the big nurseries for the selection and price. You can't have enough flowers, lol. I like to see more flowers in your amazing garden. I like encore azaleas as much as the next guy, but there's not too much difficulty with them since they're bred so good now. A lot of people like me still like the flower coverage. I just learned the correct way to raise clematis last year, for instance. I like that you guys have such a great variety of everything in your garden and now have a new garden to start on! I've learned a TON from you and appreciate all of the hard work and knowledge you give us!
Thanks for introducing me to Big Bloomers! They are the highlight of every season for me! I even go in January so I can walk through a greenhouse and smell the plants. Thank you for sharing.
Leucojum aestivum or Summer (should be Spring) snowflake. Elegant. Long-lasting. Vole, chipmunk, and deer proof. Full sun to bright shade for best performance. I’m 7b (8a), clay, hillside, part-shade to shade. 🌸🐝
I love that clematis dr rupple (not sure if I spelled that right). that’s the one you’ve had for a while right? At least two years? It just looks better and better! It was so nice to see Steph. She was speaking about ajuga and I wanted to tell her that my grandmother had an ajuga path through her garden. We walked on it. I wouldn’t have known it would stand up to foot traffic but it absolutely did. It looked so pretty purple meandering through the cool season grasses. Great video. I wish we had a nursery like that here. It looks like a great place to go for healthy plants.
Wonderful video; AWEsome greenhouse! Man, I tell ya, I am DEFINITELY living in the wrong state! (SW of Cleveland, OH, zone 6a). It's been wet; cold(er). If it reaches the low to mid 60's with sun for a day or two, you can bet it'll be raining the next 3-4 days, overcast, with cold breezes. Watching you and Steph, Jenny & Jerry over in Dallas, Linda in Oklahoma City, even Janey in CA planting up your gardens is making me *Bleep*, dot, dot, dot...I have YET to find find a greenhouse that carries 3, 4, 6 packs of annuals (aside from big-box stores with ho-hum, generic varieties). The chain greenhouses charge a hefty $7.50 (the past few years; who knows if the prices will go up this year, as has everything else) per quart. Lovely as they are (Proven Winners), even in my cluster-home with limited flowerbed real eastate, you can EASILY spend $200, $300+ on annuals! Resorting mostly to starting by seed...😏
What a fabulous place, and variety of plants! My Lord, I've never seen such a place, and some in alphabetical order! As far as my own yard now is concerned, the azaleas have really opened up this past week. The Carolina jessamine is still going strong, and the peonies (still in bud) in a front circle bed are numerous, aided in part by the pine wood chip mulch I spread there and in other beds at the end of 2022. A final thing I'm ecstatic about is the first bloom ever on my 'Taurus' red rhododendron, planted back in the autumn of 2018. I'm really starting to see the fruits of my labor in these places.
That place looks fantastic! It would be hard to control myself. My clematis are blooming. Even the Nelly moser I just planted this year. Brushwood nursery has some amazing clematis.
I really need to make it down to Big Bloomers one of these years. I like Tarheel Nursery in Angier a lot for pricing and plant quality, but Big Bloomers seems to have a much bigger selection.
Love that nursery and prefer smaller plants or even plugs, but most places want you to buy a huge pot and ch ching. Just got H.D Impatients and Begonias on sale for $1.98 a 4 pack. My Clematis are going Bonkers and Dutch iris beautiful as well.
I can relate to having to calm down around a bunch of plants. This video makes me want to head to the local garden center, but I have an order of annuals on the way. I must be patient... Good luck to me. haha! Love to see your collection of plants.
That would be amazing to be near a store like that. Unfortunately, they only sell the larger items near me and it’s cost-prohibitive. I only buy Maybe 10 annuals max and focus on perennials and shrubs. I simply don’t have the space to grow items from seed currently.
Oh my gosh! I think I need to move so I can work there. The variety, size and organization makes my heart sing. They need to expand to NE Alabama. All the growers around me are wholesale only. It would be awesome to have somewhere to go besides Walmart and Lowe's.
Oh my goodness, did I see some aralias amongst your purchases? Are those from Big Bloomers? I have such a hard time finding them here down the shore in New Jersey, but my parents live in Pinehurst so I may send them on an expedition to get me a few! Thanks so much for sharing!
I wish I had a similar nursery nearby. I went to a large locally owned family nursery last year and bought about 30 Proven Winners "perennial" flowers in quart pots for $4.95 each. They did ok this summer but not as well as I had seen them on youtube. When winter came and I cut them back I saw that some of the original soil had washed away and they were really just plugs that had gotten root bound/wrapped in multipack trays and had been potted-up into the larger containers for resale. I'm not sure if it is because they were root bound or not but none of them appear to have survived the winter either. I'm not really out any money since I would have spent the same on annuals for that spot, but I *thought* I was buying perennials, and I'm zone 8a and they dang sure should have been. Lesson learned, find where the roots are when planting bought flowers, dont just see there aren't roots around the outside the pot and assume it is ok.
Wish I had a garden center near me like big bloomers that sold perennials in small containers. Everyone here sells them in quart or 1 gallon containers or even 3gal which is so unnecessary. Ik 2 places that I can still get 6 pack annuals.

Wow. What a place! Nice to see Steph on camera again. Her excitement toward plants, like yours Jim is contagious
thanks!
A garden center rationally organized? What a concept!
Big Bloomers is the plant nursery GOAT! Love it there!
Looks like an awesome garden center - so many plants! Hi Stephany, so nice to see you again. Griffin's portrait is so sweet and so happy to see Miss Holly strolling the garden.

I keep telling women friends to shoe shop at a skate shop. !
Big Bloomers garden center and Skyscraper Pink Salvia. Two of my favorite things!
Love your videos Jim but so nice to see Mrs. Hort Tube. So awesome to see a couple with a shared passion. Hope you guys have a great weekend.
Thanks so much !
I can really relate to Steph about needing to calm down at the nursery. My local nursery is my happy place and it's always exciting to be there!
So nice to see Steph! I would need a chaperone in that garden center ~ I want all the plants - so fun!!!
Thank you Stephany and Jim. It was a pleasure seeing you Stephany ! 🪻💚🙃
🥰

My favorite therapy place is the garden center. Love all the colors and textures!
I love supporting local businesses whenever possible. Looks like you have a great one there.
I was in awe of that garden center. what a treat it is to see Stephanie on scene. Stepanie, you made me laugh several times. Happy planting everyone.
Thanks! Better with laughter
Love Big Bloomers!!! My favorite for sure. Wish I lived closer. Always make a point to go there when in the area. Hard not to go crazy at Big Bloomers!
Wow. I wish I had a place like that to shop. Steph! So good to see you!
Wow, I'd be like a kid in a candy store in that garden center! Thanks for the eye candy feast of plants.
We need more steph videos what amazing love for plants both of you have 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
Loved Big Bloomers. I have a friend who drives all the way from SE Ohio to stock up on interesting plants for her large garden. Everything you want in one location. Can’t beat it.
Griffins portrait is adorable. Great video, thanks Jim and Stephanie.
It’s going to look fabulous! Good to see Steph! 🌼🐝
I thank you every time I go to Big Bloomers for introducing me to them….great selections, prices and friendly staff…nice drive an hour down the road! 🌺👍
Big Bloomers is awesome. So nice to purchase smaller plants. Wish we had a nursery like that here
Love big bloomers ❤
Creeping phlox, ajuga and clematis r blooming like crazy here in GA,zone 8
Ugh, I love Big Bloomers! I only allow myself one trip per year because I always buy way more plants than what's on my list. That hosta house draws me like a siren's call - I picked up a "yellow polka dot bikini' this year!
Thanks, guys! So nice to see you again and hear your thoughts, Stephany! Griffin’s portrait and the daffodils look amazing! 😊
Zone 8b - middle Georgia..I divided up some daffs couple days ago. They had become large & clumpy & weren’t blooming at their best. My old timey azaleas look good & happy. Thanks for all ya’ll do! Happy Saturday ya’ll!
My tulips have been the prettiest this year that they've ever been. With the cooler weather we've had recently, they have really held out nicely.
Jim, Steph,
Love the pic of Griffin in the opening! 🐾❤🐾
Hello 🙏 everyone, happy gardening.
It's always so exciting to go to the garden center in the spring. 🌼🥀🌸
Man I live so close to big bloomers I need to get over there quick to get some of their summer annuals!
Really love your passion for everything flowering and green. Been watching you for about 3 years and have learned a lot and now that I live in the southeast I’ve been putting your videos into practice. 😊 thanks Jim

Omg! I lived in that house at the end of the road, across from the school! 😮 Had some evergreens and a small pond in the front yard.
Jim, since salvias are a favorite of yours, especially for your hummingbirds and pollinators, I highly recommend one called Bodacious Hummingbird Falls.

We were just there a week or so ago. I bought a hardy citrus with inch-long thorns. Take that, deer!

I'm on the coast and that is my favorite garden center in the entire state.❤
We're only 3 hours from there, would definitely be worth the day trip!
Steph, Jim,
Love the cool clown colors design for the front! 😊

Gosh I’m so jealous of that nursery 😊
Thanks for introducing me to Big Bloomers! They are the highlight of every season for me! I even go in January so I can walk through a greenhouse and smell the plants. Thank you for sharing.
Couples that Garden together. Stay together.
Definitely my favorite place! An amazing garden center. I appreciate their native plant markers and the native shrub/tree area.
Oh man! I need to make that drive! It is an amazing nursery!
Leucojum aestivum or Summer (should be Spring) snowflake. Elegant. Long-lasting. Vole, chipmunk, and deer proof. Full sun to bright shade for best performance. I’m 7b (8a), clay, hillside, part-shade to shade. 🌸🐝
How did your bees survive the winter? Nice cameo appearance of Stephanie!
Oh I was just there! I grew up in Sanford and I try to make a stop anytime I'm visiting my family. They have so many beautiful plants!
You reminded me how much I love Big Bloomers. Now I have to go.
I love that clematis dr rupple (not sure if I spelled that right). that’s the one you’ve had for a while right? At least two years? It just looks better and better! It was so nice to see Steph.

I wish we have a garden center like that here in the metro Atlanta, GA area. I would be there every weekend 😅
I'm the same as both of you...I get too excited about the plants and get carried away as well:)
Salvia is my favorite plant
We were just there on Friday. We had no idea what we were in for. It was incredible!
So many perennials! 🙀

That place looks fantastic! It would be hard to control myself. My clematis are blooming. Even the Nelly moser I just planted this year. Brushwood nursery has some amazing clematis.
Wow so jealous. We don’t have anything like that near where I live in Aus. 🇦🇺
Went to Big Bloomers today! Left with too much as usual
I really need to make it down to Big Bloomers one of these years. I like Tarheel Nursery in Angier a lot for pricing and plant quality, but Big Bloomers seems to have a much bigger selection.
prices are really nice there.... no big box store prices either....and they water !!!
Love that nursery and prefer smaller plants or even plugs, but most places want you to buy a huge pot and ch ching. Just got H.D Impatients and Begonias on sale for $1.98 a 4 pack. My Clematis are going Bonkers and Dutch iris beautiful as well.
On my way
I LOVE it there. Last year was my first time going but planning another trip next week!!!
It’s hard for me to stretch beyond my go-to colors/textures too 😂
I can relate to having to calm down around a bunch of plants. This video makes me want to head to the local garden center, but I have an order of annuals on the way. I must be patient... Good luck to me. haha! Love to see your collection of plants.
That would be amazing to be near a store like that. Unfortunately, they only sell the larger items near me and it’s cost-prohibitive. I only buy Maybe 10 annuals max and focus on perennials and shrubs. I simply don’t have the space to grow items from seed currently.
We were there yesterday! We love it but it’s 1.5 hrs from us.
Oh my gosh! I think I need to move so I can work there. The variety, size and organization makes my heart sing. They need to expand to NE Alabama. All the growers around me are wholesale only. It would be awesome to have somewhere to go besides Walmart and Lowe's.
Oh my goodness, did I see some aralias amongst your purchases? Are those from Big Bloomers? I have such a hard time finding them here down the shore in New Jersey, but my parents live in Pinehurst so I may send them on an expedition to get me a few! Thanks so much for sharing!
Would love to have so many salvias to choose from. Not here in BC Canada.
I wish I had a similar nursery nearby. I went to a large locally owned family nursery last year and bought about 30 Proven Winners "perennial" flowers in quart pots for $4.95 each.

I'm not really out any money since I would have spent the same on annuals for that spot, but I *thought* I was buying perennials, and I'm zone 8a and they dang sure should have been. Lesson learned, find where the roots are when planting bought flowers, dont just see there aren't roots around the outside the pot and assume it is ok.
that place looks amazing! I've never seen lisianthus for sale ever!
That garden center is in Sanford???? Road trip!
You’re like a kid in a candy store Jim!
Wish they had Soil3 here in VA. 😥
Wish I had a garden center near me like big bloomers that sold perennials in small containers. Everyone here sells them in quart or 1 gallon containers or even 3gal which is so unnecessary. Ik 2 places that I can still get 6 pack annuals.
