Many many thanks to Kathy for allowing y’all to film a tour of her amazing collection. I still get so excited whenever I see you and Bruce giving a tour! I watch the ones from his home on repeat. And Justin, you and Bruce can rest assured you made me become a plant person! You gave me the confidence to grab what you showed that I loved (what I could find. Unfortunately I live in Memphis)! Since I discovered your you tube videos last year I’ve collected 82 plants, some littles, some gallons. Unfortunately I just found someone who could come out to prep the beds, I’m 64, and it is hot as the dickens even after 6:00. Wish me luck getting this stuff in the ground before it dies! Thanks so much for your inspiration!!! Mary B
Thank you Kathy, Bruce and Justin for bringing us this conifer tour which we would never be able to see without your video. I added several conifers this year cause I noticed in winter it was too blah.
Thank you to you and especially Kathy for sharing her beautiful garden with us. I would have liked to hear more from her and how she has been so successful in her garden.
Absolutely loved seeing Bruce and Kathy…….. Great video with my garden 🥷 Ninja!!!! Fabulous video tour!!!!! Wow oh wow what a destination called home!!!! Love love love ❤️
OMG i just couldn't stop really grinning and being so full of joy watching this entire video of hard earned beauty..and yalls great conversation of love and information was better than a bed time story read by grampa on Christmas eve!!! Woweee..love this lady and her fun enthusiasm of wisdom and deep knowledge..I love conifers.. I am in Dallas tx 8b and my conifers really endure our summers better than 95% of my native perennials!!! Keep on ....and thank you for sharing her garden and your love of gardening
Just seeing this. Kathy’s yard is incredible. TY for sharing with us. I’m off to add a few more conifers to my yard. Please do another video where she explains how she gets such great results. Fertilizer schedule, maintenance, etc.
I love conifers and I love collecting pine cones. There’s a rest area in Louisiana that has the biggest pine cones I’ve ever seen. I collect as many as I can when I travel particularly when I pass thru LA!! Some of the pine cones from Colorado are so tightly woven and gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! I love the guests on your tours!
Wow! Love her gardens! The shady areas are so magical under the large tree canopies! And all those beautiful and huge evergreen trees! I’m so jealous! Thanks for the awesome tour!!!🌲🌳🌸
Justin, your content is great.. Love the variety and examples.. I'm in CT 6b originally from NC 8a. I'm on a quest to bring more unique and familiar specimens to our home in CT especially Crape Myrtle. Also thank Kathy for the walking tour, she is an encyclopedia of information. I couldn't remember everything on our property. BTW. that HUGE Whirlgig rainbow spinner in this video. It took me 2hrs but I tracked down the company Whirlgig World , sadly no longer in business, it was also sold on QVC in 2014.
Oh my goodness! I love her. This was a great viewing and learning opportunity. I am about 3 years from retirement and I want to be Kathy. I have a few pines… Occulus Draconis and Globe Blue Spruce Standard are my oldest at 10 yrs and 15yrs. They will be moving with me next year 😊 I’d love to know what profession Kathy retired from.
I really appreciate these tour videos. I learn so much and love seeing conifers further along and in real garden situations. I'm in Kentucky so not quite as strong of southern conditions but definitely relatable.
You've curated a once-in-a-lifetime garden tour, showcasing an unforgettable collection of conifers that inspire awe and admiration. Your passion for beauty and nature shines through every corner, making it a journey worth cherishing. And im am floating village life.
Very common for b&b plants to have root flair buried 2-3 inches. Farms often plant young tree stock deeper temporarily for stability in the open fields and during handling. remove extra soil around the flair when planting or the tree will suffer in the long run.
Wow! What an outstanding garden! And Kathy is such a lovely, knowledgeable woman. I'd love to see a video (or several) of just her walking through the garden telling us the stories of all her plants. Thank you, Kathy. You're an inspiration!
I just finished watching! Kathy, thank you for sharing your amazing wonderland of specimens! You truly have a beautiful collection! I'm very impressed!!!
@@gingercashman3289 HAHA! It takes a lot of focus and timing! But thank you so much! They do such a great job on camera it’s my duty to make it great off camera!
Love this so much I watched it twice and took a ton of pictures when names were posted. Justin & Bruce are the Dynamic Duo of Conifers! It was fun to see your reactions around every corner. To Kathy, Thank You so much for opening up your garden to inspire all of us! Can’t wait to see the fall colors! Nice work, Alex! 👏
12:34 Kathy mentioned that she had to root wash the trunk to find the root flare. Justin, you need to do a video highlighting this. I’m sure a lot of people wonder why their tree is struggling, they’ve been planted too deep. I hope Kathy has mapped out her garden to identify each specimen. Bruce, how many new specimens have you purchased since this visit? We’re going to need another tour of your garden!
Really? I feel the opposite. He’s always trying to lead away, even while Kathy was trying to still say something about a conifer and Justin payed attention. I really don’t enjoy him. Justin has a nursery and I am sure he could have added a bunch of information about conifers but I feel like he had no chance and just was a by stander here
boy i tell ya what, i just planted abunch of 15gal conifer trees for a privacy fence, and these conifers sure do look fancy. Ok so edit: After 8:52, i spent sooo much money for the soil and additives for each tree im thankful i did, because im seeing new growth and everything is peachy :)
Oh my goodness you all had me laughing like a little kid I just love what I'm seeing. Every time you guys get together and make a video it feels like a gift. Thank you ❤😂
Don’t laugh but I have a degree in business management. Have always loved plants and reading about the adventures of the early plant explorers. Had a greenhouse and sold plants for a year or two. Worked and volunteered at a botanical garden for a year or so. Basically I’m just a plant nerd.
This video is certainly one that I will watch many times, just as I did the one at Bruce’s collection of conifers. I am in zone 5 b and contend with clay soil too. Will someone explain why one of your conifers gets afflicted with bagworm, and those around it do not? This April- mid June, we had the largest infestation of Spongy Moth caterpillars I have ever witnessed, which stripped our forest of Oaks, they destroyed the needles of all our 60+ foot tall White Pines, denuded my large weeping Larch, next went after all the different blue spruces, the contorted fir, and many of the Japanese cut leaf maples. They literally would be covering the walls of our house, and I would come inside at the end of a day with caterpillars climbing on me! I hope that my much loved conifers can come back from this “ plague”. Though you are in North Carolina, I still learn so much from your videos about conifers and go on to do my own research for my area. We have no nursery near me that sells anything but the most common conifers. Again, great video. Kathy your self taught knowledge and willingness to try plants, is so admired.
Wow!!! Thanks for sharing her amazing garden. I could watch y’all all day. These videos are the best. I’m becoming a “plant person” and have learned so much ❤
We will be for sure. We were told you were off and Happy Anniversary! I’ll Be sending you an email with some Pictures maybe help us design around our new pool! Al said you could help! Thanks
Love you guys. I was very delighted to see a new video. I think that may be a Cunninghamia lanceolata except that plant was low growing. I’m having trouble finding it.
Nice video! I always deeply prepare my soil, for the most part it's good stuff, though I turn it over deeply that everything I plant has a free root run that gives excellent results with both the shrubs and perennials. Oh, where those 'Unraveled' boxwood are situated is a prime spot for some much nicer specimens, I'd rip those out, lol.
Ok….i thought that was Bruce in the thumbnail…but then I looked in the description and it said Kathy…I was so excited to see that Bruce is in this video! He’s my favorite!!!!!
Beautiful. I have gotten much more into evergreens lately in my garden. They keep the yard vibrant during the winter up here on Long Island. Soon as I saw that weeping tree at the opening of the video I knew this lady meant business! And it just kept going and going. Amazing work. I'm jealous.
WOW!!!! Be sure to thank her from your viewers for being willing to share her gorgeous garden with us!!! ❤
Oh Kathy Hornbuckle, thank you for the garden tour. So beautiful!
This lady is too smart!!! I admire her so much.
Thanks so much for the Shoutout to MrMaple! And thank you for showing Kathy’s place! Awesome tour!
Absolutely, you guys are awesome. I hope we get to meet one day!
@@skgreenhouse yes for sure! Love the channel! We are not to far! Let’s make that happen for sure

Loved this tour and thank you Kathy for sharing your garden with us. Love to watch your garden tours Justin.
I had a smile on my face the whole time. Your right, you feel like a kid in a candy store.

Great video , but I wish Kathy could show the small conifers also maybe in another video possibly , any way thanks for sharing.
Great Great video. Just a wealth of information!
beautiful garden of an equally wonderful gardener
Just seeing this. Kathy’s yard is incredible. TY for sharing with us. I’m off to add a few more conifers to my yard. Please do another video where she explains how she gets such great results. Fertilizer schedule, maintenance, etc.
Beautiful
I miss your vegetable videos

Another home run!
Fantastic collection…thanks for sharing

I got it at a local garden center many years ago. Sad they no longer make it.

Great job Alex! I don't know how you could keep up with the demands of Justin and Bruce. So much Enthusiasm. Like kids in a candy store. Love it.
@@gingercashman3289 HAHA! It takes a lot of focus and timing! But thank you so much! They do such a great job on camera it’s my duty to make it great off camera!
You all need the “Conifer Collector” tee shirts from HortTube with Jim Putnam!!! This garden is so amazing!!! Thank you!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I just bought a Carolina sweetheart from Mr. Maple. It’s tiny but I can’t wait to see it grow as big as hers.
What a beautiful garden 😍. She really knows her stuff.
I am so excited!!!!!
I am lusting over Carolina Sweetheart. The variegated Daphnphyllum from Gossler is also swoon-worthy. Kathy is delightful.
Looking forward to seeing a tour of Bruce’s place soon….always one of my favorites!!
Again, I have to say that I loved this video!!❤
Absolutely love Kathy's Conifer Garden. Thankyou for sharing with us.

These videos are the uplift I need, thank you guys. Absolutely gorgeous.
Isn’t that the truth!
The Conifer Whisperer! Fantastic!!
WOW
Wow i love these videos at peoples homes,her collect is awesome

Great show Thanks Kathy, Bruce n camera man. Love you Justin keep up your good work & looking more to come❤
This is a joy! The passion is infectious.
That’s an amazing garden!! Could spend hours strolling through!! Thank you!
Your delight and enthusiasm are wonderful. Thank you for posting. What a collection!
This was the best video!!!!! Truly amazing conifer garden
Unreal!! What a treasure! Giddy was the perfect word to describe y'all as you walked through her garden. So much fun!
Wow, what an incredible garden and thanks for the long format video. Bruce is always awesome in videos!
Really? I feel the opposite. He’s always trying to lead away, even while Kathy was trying to still say something about a conifer and Justin payed attention. I really don’t enjoy him. Justin has a nursery and I am sure he could have added a bunch of information about conifers but I feel like he had no chance and just was a by stander here
Kathy is fantastic! Love your gardens.
Wonderful video. The trees are magnificent to say the least. Love the lady 😊
boy i tell ya what, i just planted abunch of 15gal conifer trees for a privacy fence, and these conifers sure do look fancy.
Ok so edit: After 8:52, i spent sooo much money for the soil and additives for each tree im thankful i did, because im seeing new growth and everything is peachy :)
Kathy, you are truly a delight!
Just beautiful, thank you all very much. I learned a lot
What an awesome video! I learned so much and I love the way her garden is built with grass and pavers/stones. Beautiful!!! ❤
What a FANTASTI display of conifers and more!! THANK YOU KATHY!!
Oh my goodness you all had me laughing like a little kid I just love what I'm seeing.
Every time you guys get together and make a video it feels like a gift. Thank you ❤😂
I’m guessing Kathy is much more than a home gardener, maybe a life long career and education in horticulture?
Don’t laugh but I have a degree in business management. Have always loved plants and reading about the adventures of the early plant explorers. Had a greenhouse and sold plants for a year or two. Worked and volunteered at a botanical garden for a year or so. Basically I’m just a plant nerd.
@@kathyhornbuckle4966you are a lovely person..

What a remarkable lady you are, Cathy and your gardens are outstanding!
I couldn't love this video more!
Love you guys. I was very delighted to see a new video. I think that may be a Cunninghamia lanceolata except that plant was low growing. I’m having trouble finding it.
This is beautiful!!!! It’s almost too much to take in!!!! Amazing! Kathy your place is magical!
