Hi!
My name is Justin and I have my managed my family's business (S&K Greenhouse) for the last 10 years! It is a local garden center in Shelby, NC that my mom and dad started around 25 years ago.
We have a strong desire to discuss and teach gardening to the online community and welcome anyone who wants to learn. Though we have been involved in the plant world for decades we have found that there is always something to learn when it comes to gardening.
Whether you are a master gardener or just starting out this channel is for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos!

Thanks for this!!
Thank you for the list! So helpful!!
Thank you! This channel should be doing this.
I am a snowbird south Florida gardener and have found your videos so helpful in planning a front yard makeover! Unlike many people, I prefer “free form” plants and shrubs rather than heavily pruned. Thank you so much for your light hearted, entertaining & informational content!
Whew!!! That was some fast & quick information. I was taking notes. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for watching ❤
Your enthusiasm is infectious! Loved all the plants, lots of visual interest all year long.
I love the Cerise Charm and Pink Nandina. Very colorful and striking!
*_VERY SMART GARDENING STYLE, WOOOOOWW!!!!, S&K GREENHOUSE , You are teaching me to be patient with plants,we will not get tired of watching this video, PLEASE DON'T STOP GARDENING, continue like this, GO GO GO GOOOOOOOOOO!!!_*
Your energy is a whole vibe man. Glad to see someone being themselves on here
Dwarf Pittosporum is another very easy one to care for. Takes full sun, lots of shade, water, no water…it isn’t fussy. Available in green or variegated colors (silver or gold). I like adding them around the base of larger trees in my yard.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wanting to plant something in my garden for all year long. This video was very helpful. Thanks again. God bless🙏
Awesome video!!! Im so glad you posted the zones and sun/shade requirements. Thank you
Thank you so much for the 'detail information' so needed for persons as myself who doesn't know much about plants. I'm about to re-do part of my front yard and your video was a life saver. Blessings!!
that opening enthusiasm lmao
Justin appreciate the helpful planting tips on these shrubs. I actually have some planted in my yard. TY
Enjoyed your presentation and explanation of each. Thanks
Great video!! Was quick with a lot of information. I'm going watch again, make a list, then go shopping
The best video for anchor & year round shrubs ever!! Thank you so much!!!
Love the information and your passion shows through!!
I was happy to find your video with suggestions of evergreens that have bright colors! I didn’t even know such a thing existed. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Just what I was looking for! Great information. Thanks so much!❤
Thank you so very much. I love, love, love your videos. Naming the different varieties and posting the grow zones really helps me as I live to garden in zone 6. Hope to visit your nursery some day!!
Great info!
I appreciate you letting us know the zones and if they take full to part sun.
New subscriber here.
Thank you!!
Thank you very much. Great video 👏👏👏
Love you. So much energy and knowledge
Love to see what is available. Keep on doing what you are doing.
Oh wish I had a home for real and I have not been to no green house lately
Hey Justin, great content as always. Keep up the good work.
I LOVE this channel!!
Thanks for the great information. I'm building a new house that gets full sun from 12pm on. Live in south Louisiana and I am not a plant person. So again thanks
I live in Oklahoma and the wind is unstoppable. I need a hardy shrub for my yard as I live on a corner lot and in the winter the winds can just eat up the garden. Would love to see a video on hardy shrubs which can handle the wind and the cold freezing winds of winter .. because we don’t get a lot of snow either. Thank you.
Just what I was looking for!!!
Your videos are the best. NYC here and i grab a cocktail and fantasize about having a garden- with your advice of course! BTW love your Southern accent as well!
❤
AWSOME video this helps a lot now I know what to look for when I go shrub shopping for my garden
It's wonderful to take care of your plants
Awesome energy! Great video!
Ah thank you! 🙏
This was prefect. Gave me some great ideas on what to plant.
I don't know anything about plants and I was having trouble what I need to plant around the house.
Thanks for the help.
Thank you S&K Greenhouse! Loved the video. So informative and insightful.
We just moved to Orlando from Oregon and I had no idea what to plant. Thank you!
please come to Arkansas and help us create beautiful yards and landscapes!
11. Globosa Nana Cryptomeria. 😀 I was waiting for you to grab that nice specimen behind you (to the right). Thanks for this good video full of ideas and information!!! I appreciate your channel!
I’m in Alvin Texas just bought new home I like you advice on what to grow in my zone 9
I need deer resistant and cold resistant and still can handle hot summers also will grow a long driveways and sidewalks
Very informative! Thanks 🌸
I wish I had a nursery like yours here in Jacksonville, Fl
Excellent recommendations!
Great video!! Lots of great plants in this video, we are starting from scratch in the front of the house, looking forward to planting Alot of these.
I'm looking for Podocarpus...any suggestions
Thx for sharing. Could you share general info like how much water to get it going compared to once established. And what is the life span. 😊
I bought those dwarf purple bush u said wasn’t ur grandmas and mine was my grandmas after 5yr. It stayed small and then of a sudden the entire planting decided they were big kids now and we had to pull them all out. They grew to the top of our house and enclosed our front porch. We waited because the birds built into them with nests and the kids liked to watch from the porch inside. So yeah. Watch for those and the cat tail mint. Cat tail mint sure is purty but will take over the whole bed fast.
Great suggestions and great video ✨
Thank you, I’ll save this for future landscaping needs.
Several of these are certainly of interest to me for other areas of my yard. The only thing I want around the foundation of my home is rocks. Little rocks, big rocks, the odd weather proof statue here and there. It's that I find keeping plant life groomed and weeded close to the house a pain and I like the clean unfettered look. Of course, that is me and it's not for everyone. But another reason is that I can put down boric acid and diatomaceous earth to my hearts content which keeps a lot of insects away. Even termites. Then a generous application of rock salt, watered in, will keep all plant life away.
However, the beauties mentioned here would be wonderful at the base of taller shrubs or trees If the purple foliage is really attractive to you., the dwarf Loropetalum coupled with Black Diamond Crepe Myrtle would be just the thing.
Awesome.. I want them all 💙🌻💛
What great advice for foundation plant alternatives.
New subscriber here. Love your content. Ready for autumn planting soon here in Zone 9.
Thank you! This video was really helpful!
Love it and learn so much.
Thank you.
A very helpful video! Thank you!
Thank you! I have a whole new yard to design and this is a huge help
Hi Justin which has slow growth gold arborvitae or false cypress
Love these ideas but need something similar for planting zone 5a-6b (Denver, CO). Any more ideas for this zone?
This is a great video! Appreciate the information on these year round evergreen shrubs that can provide low maintenance color and texture along with zones & sun info. What are your thoughts on Red Tipped Photinia for privacy hedges? We're in Zone 7 (PA) and we have 3 photinia here doing very well but I'm having trouble finding more.
Thanks...you did great!! Loved the video.
Could I pull off the encore azaleas in 5a, Omaha Nebraska? I know they're zones 6-9..

Might try one of those modern azaleas thanks for the tips ! I’m replacing a holley
Thank you. Nowadays Houston gets hard freeze once in winter. My dogwood died and I have to replace it. Please talk about freeze free small shrubs.
Gosh, his accent is breaking me out in a sweat honey. 😮💨😅😍
I want them all! I hope I can find them at a local nursery next spring!
Love these ideas for planting around our new sunroom and the area by our front side walk needs to be redone and install some of these dwarf arborvitaes and dwarf lorepetulums! I’m looking forward to Spring, then this Falls planting season! You are awesome! I was just scrolling by and found your delightful channel! Here in North Carolina we are planting! I have subscribed to your channel now! Thank you and blessings sent! 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
Love these shrubs. The ball arborvitae could stay in a pot year round right? Zone 7b here.
Wish have a lists of these lovely evergreen
Can you share some plants for zone 5? I love your ideas!
Love those plants !!! I may have to move to a warmer zone. :(
Do you have an online nursery. I absolutely love your videos!
I have a big yard that I’m trying to make smaller with shrubs and trees, what do you suggest?
Thanks so much😊
Great suggestions. Thank you.
Terrific info, very helpful!
Loved these low maintenance shrubs. Do you ship in Florida.
Pick up only sadly ❤
I’m still fighting Nandina! It spreads like crazy! Very invasive!
Hopefully the one you show here won’t do that.
Love your videos
Love sunshine ligustrimins but ours lost all its leaves this winter but came back in the spring
What zone are you in?
Dude I'm subbing..loving your content!
pieres can grow in 9b zone?
Good shít! Im looking for some replacement shrubs that are not working for me. But am not sure Lowes or Home Depot has these nice plants.
So helpful! As a new homeowner this is perfect! Thank you!
I like the ideas.
Great information, thanks
Need pairing plants with bananappeal for shade n foundation
We love low Maintenance!
Can you advise what plants are good for my flower bed .I’m in Texas new to planting
Will some of these survive San Antonio Tx weather . In the flower bed in front of the house with full sun
My Encores seem to keep growing and growing. I really like them but I cut them back when they make 4 feet
What zone are you in? Are they in full sun or in the shade?
@@melissa4455zone 9a. Sun till noon, shade the rest of the day
This was really helpful. I work at a nursery in Massachusetts and am still trying to learn some of the staples of landscapers in the region. Do you have any suggestions to help me with this? Really tough time with all the different hydrangeas, also which plants for which season and things like that 😕
Study, study, study, read the tags and flash cards ❤️ it’ll come naturally soon trust me
@@RealALSK thank you very much. I certainly hope you’re right! I definitely have learned a lot just in my first year, so hopefully I can continue that this year! Really appreciate the words of support, it actually means a lot.
