The very definition of a plant addict! 1. Adamantly states “no more plants.” 2. Visits a beautiful garden with a nursery. 3. Buys enough plants that a second video is required. 4. Gets one more plant because it’s your “souvenir plant.” Love it and thanks for sharing this garden tour!
My grandparents put a lot of love into this place. Spent many a summer here and now my parents are keeping the legacy alive along with my sister and brother-law. It's a beautiful place with so many wonderful memories. Thanks for this video!
Piccadilly was started by Sam and Carleen Jones. She was a Helebore guru and he was a contemporary professor at UGA back in the Dirr days who loved conifers. I've been going there for years and enjoyed picking Sam's brain about plants...They were a really nice couple...
That's what everyone says. I didn't want to mess up any history without other family members involved. I had heard about the garden when they were still alive, but never had made it there. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the kind words. They were my grandparents are truly incredible and kind people. We all grew up spending time on the farm and at the nursery.
My father and I went to Piccadilly for Hellebore Days in 1997 after I graduated from UGA Law. He bought about a dozen hellebore to take back to Northern Virginia to plant in his garden because hellebores were hard to find in garden centers at the time. He gave me some seedlings from those that I planted a decade ago in my North Atlanta garden. They have, in turn, seeded and are thriving in my woodland shade. My parents moved from Virginia to North Atlanta a few years ago and my father asked for seedlings from my now-mature hellebores--and those are now thriving in their North Atlanta garden. Those original PIccadilly hellebores from 1997 have been a source of family connection for us and have produced several generations of plants. Nice to hear the farm is still around and being operated by the same family.
I, too, love the memories my plants bring to mind. When my dad visited me in the Spring, his favorite tree was my magnolia macrophyllum. I lost both of these precious living things in the same year. When I saw the thumbnail of this video and the title, my eyes welled and my heart hoped I could have this tree in my life and garden again. And, I will! Thank you, Jim and Stephanie, from the bottom of my heart.🌸🐝
I had no idea of the rabbit hole I would fall into when I discovered plants many years ago. I first started growing plants for high quality food, and that’s when things got interesting for me. I’ve spent many years and thousands of hours collecting and importing seeds and plants from around the world and each one has its story. Some have very interesting stories and almost never made it here. Some of my plants may even be extinct in the wild now due to disease such as myrtle rust. Most of my plants make delicious or unusual fruit
I have a chocolate vine and in my garden I consider it invasive, it’s everywhere! To be completely honest I planted it and forgot about it so it may be my fault that it’s growing everywhere. I’m trying to reclaim parts of my gardens that I planted years ago and then life happened where I became too busy to properly take care of them. It’s very surprising to me to see what has survived amongst the weeds ! 💐💚🙃
I moved to southwest Georgia 7 years ago from Nevada. I’m amazed every day at how much everything grows around here. It’s thicker than tha Amazon in my back yard.
Nothing better than a mature mature garden. It's fun to plant new things, but nothing can replace really old plants, shrubs and trees. In the small landscape, I think people should pick appropriately sized specimens, and grow them for life, instead of constantly ripping crap out to plant more crap that you will just rip out again because they just simply were not appropriate for the space.
This is a lovely garden- thank you for sharing. I have heard good things about Harvest Hosts. Sadly, our event schedule means that we blow by wonderful places like this.
An Akebia escaped from a neighbor's garden a few years ago when I was unable to garden much. That darned thing has twined its way everywhere in my 1.25 acre zone 8a garden. It has entwined itself in every shrub and roots as soon as it touched the ground. People should be warned of its hazardous nature.
This looks like an amazing garden! Adding to my list to visit this season. I love conifers, this seems like a dream in person to see the species that can handle our environment. The big leaf magnolia gets MASSIVE flowers almost the size of the leaves....there are a few around town that I admire.
Bigleaf Magnolias are considered rare, though I see a lot when I'm out on trails around metro Atlanta. They have the largest flower of any tree indigenous to North America but the flowers are usually so high up in the air that you can't really see them. I know of a tree in one of the Chattahoochee parks next to a bridge that takes you into the canopy and you can get a great look at the flowers around Mother's Day. You may find in the fall that the large leaves look really trashy as they turn brown/grey.
I have a couple of those winged elms in my back yard. I let them grow as volunteer saplings, and they turn a brilliant yellow in autumn. If I didn't know any better, this video looks like it may have been taken in the Pacific Northwest, with all of its conifers!
Hey Jim, at 17m50, your talking about a macrophylla if I’m not mistaken. I think it’s an obovata… I could be wrong. But in my collection I have both species and the leaves on a macrophylla always look more congested….
Thank you so much for this video. We started our garden in the Spring of 2022 about 5 months after we moved from the CA desert to the Midlands of SC, zone 8B. We were new to the southeast at the time and gave our yard maintenance guy a list of plants we wanted. On the list was clematis and we asked for three, early, mid and late season bloomers. Unfortunately, all we were told was that we had three clematis. Now that I have seen the Clematis Armandii, I know what we have. They have never bloomed and this spring will be their third year. They grow like weeds, which is great, and have been cut back to about 16 to 18 inches each year. Should we not prune them? How do we get them to bloom? Help please...
Question on that Magnolia, I have a huge amount of these on my small property... I thought they were a weed tree, mine are absolutely HUGE. Are they protected?
This garden is beautiful! We are in middle Georgia area 8b & it is so very, very dry the garden is hurting, it looks unhappy :) but I went out this evening and gave it a good soaking! 🪴

Jim is the dad who's adamantly against the family getting a puppy, and then ends up being the one who loves the puppy the most.
They. have The Excuse. Great Big New Garden.

FYI- Dirr has started posting some video's the last few months with his daughter Katie from his home in GA
Thank you for the kind words. They were my grandparents are truly incredible and kind people. We all grew up spending time on the farm and at the nursery.
I appreciate these tours. We get to explore gardens we’re not likely to see ourselves. What a treat!

❤hello everyone, 🙏 Mr Jim putnam and Stephany. Love you, love you guys. Fun gardening 😅😅😅❤❤😅😅
Jim: No more hollering,
"No more plants!"
before starting out on a trip that just MIGHT have you visiting a lovely, interesting plant nursery!
Excellent video 👍🏼 I absolutely love the big leaf Magnolia! 😍
I moved to southwest Georgia 7 years ago from Nevada. I’m amazed every day at how much everything grows around here. It’s thicker than tha Amazon in my back yard.
I love shaded gardens with large woody specimens. Thanks for sharing!
I live right down the street from this farm! Love seeing this
Hi Jim and Stephanie! What a beautiful lush and mature garden. Thank you for taking us along 🙏
Can’t wait to go there after my consultation with Jim in October we are only 30 mins away.
Love that Picadilly Farm is still there!!!
Hi Jim, thank you so much for sharing this video, this trees are stunning, so, so beautiful!!😊
That Zelkova!! 💚

Some of us learned that lesson too late - you're right, those are the gardens I love the most.
Love those big leaf magnolias- have macrophylla, var. ashei, pyramidata, and hypoleuca in my garden so far. A super interesting genus
How blessed you two are to visit these gardens!
Bishop is lovely
Jim, Steph,
What an AMAZING garden! Such wonderful under-story plants!
Thank you for taking us there. 😊
This is a lovely garden- thank you for sharing. I have heard good things about Harvest Hosts. Sadly, our event schedule means that we blow by wonderful places like this.
Stunning trees and shrubs for your area! Just beautiful mature specimens.
Love it. Great find.
An Akebia escaped from a neighbor's garden a few years ago when I was unable to garden much. That darned thing has twined its way everywhere in my 1.25 acre zone 8a garden. It has entwined itself in every shrub and roots as soon as it touched the ground. People should be warned of its hazardous nature.
I bought a Chocolate vine, it's still in the nursery container because I was told it is invasive. I'm debating about keeping it.
Give it to someone you really dislike. LOL
Thank you Jim and Stephany. 💐💚🙃
Thanks Jim, it's always nice to see specimens with some years in the ground
Golden Mop cypress looking fantastic as always.
Those are some Jungle Size Leaves in the Thumbnail!

I really enjoyed this beautiful garden tour.
So beautiful. I definitely want to find some specimen gardens to visit.
Another cool place! Love all the plants and trees in your video!
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely lovely 💚💚💚💚
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing 🌼
So many beautiful things.
Magnolia macrophylla-incredible. Have the space and understory for it in spades here in N GA, will plant multiples. Thank you!!
It looks so peaceful.😀

Harvest Host is great!
thank you.
Such a great garden.
I have a couple of those winged elms in my back yard. I let them grow as volunteer saplings, and they turn a brilliant yellow in autumn. If I didn't know any better, this video looks like it may have been taken in the Pacific Northwest, with all of its conifers!
Those big leaf magnolias love to be in a open field were they can spread out and be a biiig bush!
Great garden. I wonder if the Goshiki Zelkova naturally grows as a multi-trunk or if that is encouraged by coppicing while young.
Hey Jim, at 17m50, your talking about a macrophylla if I’m not mistaken. I think it’s an obovata… I could be wrong. But in my collection I have both species and the leaves on a macrophylla always look more congested….
Or tripetala
Let me know what you think
TY...
Beautiful trees thanks Jim! Huggicates dude!😊

No more plants for the home garden 😂 these plants are for the Wallace garden from now on Jim where u have plenty of space for now to fill
Congrats to NC State making it to the CWS. Looks like ACC vs SEC.
Are you sure those are variegated camellia japonica at 13:27? They look like an Euonymus Emerald N Gold or Golden or Gold Splash or close to that.
Question on that Magnolia, I have a huge amount of these on my small property... I thought they were a weed tree, mine are absolutely HUGE. Are they protected?
No more plants. Ha. You funny man. Funny funny man. Good joke. Good joke.
He should do a video on what plants that he bought 😂

nurshery?
This garden is beautiful! We are in middle Georgia area 8b & it is so very, very dry the garden is hurting, it looks unhappy :) but I went out this evening and gave it a good soaking! 🪴
I’m in northeast Florida and I feel your struggle. 😢 hopefully we both get some soaking rain soon!
@@erincolleen7436yes! Let’s pray for some!
9:05 All these pretty conifers and you're only gonna tell us what a few of them are? 🥺
It's not possible to list everything, just enjoy the amazing video
@@TO-vw3sy But... but Conifer Collector! 🥺
