Such a beautiful garden. Steph, we do not thank you enough for the amazing camera work you do. Thank you both for all the amazing gardens we get to visit.
Thanks for your kindness !
When I was at Duke, I spent more time in the libraries than the gardens. In retrospect, I wish I could have spent more time in the gardens.
Keep on touring gardens Jim, i love it...❤❤
Wow! That's an impressive place! Wish I lived closer. Jim, you could make a lot of videos of each of the type of gardens by going slower and discussing some of the various plants in each one. This is a wonderful overview but I'd like to have a closer detail of the plants.
This looks heavenly. Thanks Jim and Stephany, and Mr. Mottern and staff at Sarah P. Duke Gardens.😍.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Love the mature specimens..this is how I want my back garden to look.
I go and watch the ducks and read around the pond, and listen to nature and of course look at the plants.
In march and April 2004 I had a special opportunity to have multiple visits to therapy Duke Garden. That year, the wisteria vines that were over a large pergola absolutely stunning.
The changes in the little woodland garden that was on the left as she first entered down. The main path was absolutely wonderful to see all early spring woodland flowers come out and to see the change in that as time progressed into the late spring and early summer
This is THE most inspiring garden tour. It makes me want to implement so many features into my own garden and the shear beauty of this amazing space is a delight 👩🏻🌾🐝🦋
Ah go for the plants and stay for the stone! Lol..love the creative stonework!!
Thanks for inviting us along
My daughter loves Lavender and I could never grow it until I used where the driveway gravel has been washing into. The only addition I used was a mix with Permatil. North Georgia clay is a challenge, natives are the most dependable here. Just beautiful garden, thanks for sharing!
I have a garden path composed of crusher fines (crushed granite). It is a terrific seedbed. The Gaillardia that I tried for 3 years to grow in the flower bed is now a huge bush blocking the path!
Edwin Lutyens used slate on edge in many of his designs. The British Embassy in DC is one fine example.
🪴 🌱 🌿 🌾 🌵 🏵 🌸 🌹 🌻 Indeed a beautiful garden. Thank Jim for the tour.
Thanks for sharing this bucket list garden.
During my graduate program I walked this garden regularly, sometimes finding a half hidden bench or chair of incredible craftsmanship from which to enjoy the surroundings. Thanks for the tour Jim and also for the shout outs to the whole team that contributes to this garden everyday to make it such a beauty. And I can’t comment without making mention of that jaw-dropping stonework - fantastic! I remember once watching Brooks working on one of his many hardscape projects and wondering how and why in the world he kept making giant stones move without equipment and not realizing that he did so purposefully to avoid disturbing the existing garden. Such masterful work! Thank you for sharing and bringing to mind cherished memories.
Lived in Raleigh and never really explored Duke Gardens as much as I should have. What a place. Really incredible. A true gift.
I love this garden, i go all the time. Beautiful year round!
A truly SPECTACULAR garden. Not seen anything like it. Thank you, Jim and Steph for this grand tour would love to see more.❤😊
🩵💚💛🌿🌱🌳🌲🪴🧩..there are no gardening tool emojis. :(
Fabulous garden, thanks so much!!
Omygosh, those Beaux Art handrails are comely.
This garden is definitely on my list to visit as I’m in eastern NC. Of course the plants are gorgeous but that stone work!!!!! Unbelievable that one man did that! This garden is beyond impressive!
Wonderful tour! Thank you.
I'm fortunate to have known Bobby a long time, he's an expert plantsman and consummate gentleman!
Thanks for the kind words Ian.
Beautiful!! Definitely a place to visit.
This garden is a “must see” in RDU! It’s been awhile since I’ve been there but this was a great reminder!
Beautiful garden ! Some people “ get it “ and a lot of people don’t in my opinion they definitely “ get it “. They’re gardening style is amazing ! I don’t have the “ get it “ gene in my body. ☹️💐💚🙃 In my opinion nothing in that garden looks out of place. 💐💚🙃
I think you're comparing yourself too harshly Judy. Do what suits you!
They have a big budget, lots of people working in these gardens, and they're always learning and changing things up. You can't compare yourself! I'm sure your garden is lovely, even if a bit messy plants are just beautiful in general. And as long as you're having fun I'm sure it comes through as well
Give yourself some garden grace honey...😊
Wonderful diverse gardens ….is access free?
What a beautiful gardens. So jealous of anyone living close to it. Lots of ideas and such a good interview. Please show more I. Each season if possible
Wow, what a treat! I love the brick raised garden beds in the organic food garden.
Thank you for doing tours of other gardens. I enjoy listening to people on how they design a space. Helps to spur inspiration.
Spectacular gardens! Thank you for taking us with you!
Lots of good info here; will be rewatching. Love the “Spanish” container garden, it’s nice to see what can be accomplished in humid southeast.
Oh yeah I used to dred bringing by cacti houseplants outside for the spring and summer but then I switched the potting mix to 25% potting soil and 75% pearlite and I never had to worry about them ever again. Doesn’t matter how much it rains for us those cacti never suffer from root rot. The water just passes right through the dirt like it’s nothing
That’s a pretty quick-draining mix. So you’re leaving them out all winter? What’s your cold hardiness zone?
@@jul7673 No im not leaving them out all winter. I have some succulents I keep in the ground year round here in North Carolina 8a. I have 3 separate opuntia (prickly pear) species out by the 'hell strip' my mailbox is on. I don't care that it's straight red clay cause that clay aint ever holding any water anyways. It's way to hot and sunny out there for it to ever hold any water for longer than a day so I plant. I also have some Sempervivum (hens and chicks), Graptopetalum (Ghost Plant) and an agave like jim has. But unlike jim who amended the soil he has. There's not an ounce of organic matter out there so I dont worry about the clay on the roots. It's inorganic anyways so I don't have to worry about it ever getting boggy out there. They've been in the ground for 3 years now and thriving. They're all completely hardy where we are at.
Now all my other cacti and succulents like my Jade plants, etc that I know would not tolerate my clay soil I keep them in Terracotta pots with that highly draining potting mix you commented on. And those I do bring inside every winter. But recently I haven't been needing to bring them in until December because it doesn't freeze until then LOL (rip us were gonna be so cooked in 50 years)
Thanks Nolan! Yep, cooked, I know.
I’m interested in evergreen potted plants that can take reflected heat on the concrete pool deck. Jim says containers should be 2 zone hardier than where I live (8a/b), so that means zone 6. I will try your formula next time to see if I can keep them drier over winter. Opuntia by the pool- why not lol
@@jul7673 oh my god are you kidding me? Absolutely they’re a PERFECT thing to add to your pool deck. Literally maintenance free. All I’d do is add some sort of 3 month slow release balanced fertilizer. Nothing organic. Has to be synthetic fertilizer. And then just leave them alone for the rest of the year. And if you want to add a spiller for the container too there’s a ton of zone 6 hardy sedum that would be fine in our winters here. Plus more flowers to enjoy in the same planter lol.
Also another note. Learn from my mistake and if you’re going to get 1 prickly pear get a 2nd different variety so they can cross pollenate and produce fruit. I tried to pollenate my prickly pears by hand last year and learned the hard way that they are not self fertile and need to be pollenated by the genetics of a different plant. Which sucks cause I had 3 of the same opuntia that were clones of their mother plant I took cuttings off lol. So now I have another species entirely so I know for sure the genetics are different and will get successful pollination this year. The bumble bees and carpenter bees love hanging out in the flower so I’m sure they’ll be natural cross pollination.
Also final PS: NEVER pay for a prickly pear from the store. Just drive around your neighborhood. A ton of people have prickly pears and I’ve realized over the years that if you just go up to them complement how beautiful their garden is then ask to take a small cutting off their prickly pear 9/10 times they’ll just let you do. Then literally plop the cutting in some well draining dirt and ignore it. Boom. Easiest plant to propagate on earth.
Other option if you’re extremely socially anxious which I DO NOT CONDONE 😉…. I meannnn whose gonna notice if one cactus pad is missing off a plant that has 100 of them? THIS IS SOMETHING I DO NOT CONDONE okie have a great evening lmfao
We love going to Duke Gardens. Thanks for sharing so folks not in the area can enjoy it too!
Visited Duke Gardens a couple years ago when the tulips were in bloom. Exquisite! I love that Mediterranean-scree garden!
Thanks for taking us on a tour of this garden. I visited over 30 years ago and it has gotten even better. Like their focus on using plants that the average gardener can find locally.
What an amazing garden! Thank you for sharing. I love these inspirational garden tours. ❤
Another amazing place you shared with us, thank you! Even if I never get to that area of the country, I still enjoy seeing public gardens of that size online. Love that they went all the way to Sissinghurst in England to get inspiration!
Beautiful garden. Adding it to my bucket list of gardens to visit.
Love Duke Gardens. We visited last Labor Day !!
Love all the garden tours you’ve taken us on lately!!!
Beautiful. It's a summer road trip!
Thank you. What a beautiful garden. I sure do miss NC. (North Texas now) 🥵
Fantastic garden! I’ve never heard of it but now it’s on my list.
Inspiring garden and tour. Thank you for sharing it with us. Adding a visit to my bucket list.
Stunning garden and tour. Beautifully serene including the excellent camerawork. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful White Monochromatic garden! Thank you for sharing. 🌿🤍💚🤍🌿
Love seeing the gardens that are right down the road from me…literally a county or two over!!! Thanks Jim and Steph!
I thought you had to go to Japan to experience such a magnificent "garden" This is huge, abundant and besides beautiful.... Inspiring. Thank You for sharing the Passion!
Fabulous tour - so beautiful! Thank you for taking us to so many lovely gardens.
Beautiful! Thank you for the tour .
Beautiful. I love hearing the birds
I agree, moss is a great plant. I am so thankful for all my volunteers 🌳🌳🌳🐕
It would be nice if every state in the union had these types of settings for just the peace, conservation, and beauty it provides. Thanks really enjoyed that.
Wow! Incredible ❤ and so diverse and informative- thank you for making this possible to learn more about and to teach the young people!
Absolutely spectacular gardens! I loved everything about it!
Jim, Steph,
Wonderful tour--Duke Garden's now on my bucket list! ❤
Thank you. 😊
Absolutely stunning garden. It has everything
Stunning! ThxJim & Stephanie🌸
Beautiful. I may need to plan my own trip for my birthday ❤
Thanks for sharing. What a wonderful space.
It’s great that kids can learn where their chicken “ nuggets” and other food comes from.
That’s definitely on the garden bucket list. It’s so interesting that they went to Sissinghurst when they were planning a renovation of the white garden, because when the video opened in the scree garden my first thought was Beth Chatto’s gravel garden. Bobby Mottern was a great guest, and he has my dream job. 😀
Hi Kathy funny you should mention Beth shadows Garden. We went there as well and we’re also very inspired by the gravel garden there. Glad you noticed it.
Hi Jim! It’s important to emphasize as gardeners not to forget to grow native plants. This was a wonderful treat. Thanks 😊
Such a lovely garden. Would walk here all the time if I lived nearby.
Beautiful!!!
Beautiful! 🐝🦋🌿
The Duke Garden in Charlotte is great too. I’ll have to visit this one. I have a video on my channel of the Duke Garden in Charlotte if anyone is interested.
Love the millstone water feature. Ooh may think about that for my space. Family stationed in the area so I am going to visit this garden!!!!
Went there in summer time it was gorgeous gardens!! A little hot weather for my taste but worth the visit!!! Thanks for the great video of this great garden!!
Lovely garden tour! Loved the native plants area...encouraged me to add some to our garden after seeing how nice those plants look together
Great tour! You may want to check out Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, GA (North of Atlanta). It's very large and has multiple garden areas.
Incredibly creative and interesting garden. Bravo!
Beautiful gardens snd amazing stone work!
Spectacular gardens. I wonder if you took any notes for your new garden?
Love the garden. Hope you can do another one in fall and springs to look at all the different things growing during those period.
Absolutely beautiful! …so inspiring!
I love that they love moss. I bet it’s a Tardigrade haven.
didn't know this is on my bucket list before now
One of my favorite gardens! Thanks
TY...
I love that the native garden “rewinds!” Great term!!!
What a delight!
Wow the stonework is awesome
This is such a beautiful garden and what a great tour! Thank you Jim and Steph. Being a salvia nut, there was a mistake in the printed titles about the salvia---it should have read "Salvia greggii and microphylla" not Salvia greggii and macrophylla". Salvia macrophylla is a completely different variety of salvia native to South America with very large leaves and small blue flowers that is water loving (unlike the Southwestern Salvias greggii and microphylla, which prefer a sharply drained soil and minimal water.) Again, thank you for a wonderful tour!
Love garden video reviews…great camera work.
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
great looking garden. Some of that stonework reminds me of Norfolk Botanical Garden in Norfolk, VA. Do you think you'll ever do a video there?
🪴 🌱 🌿 🌾 🌵 🏵 🌸 🌹 🌻
Beautiful! I have a question about the containers holding the water plants like the water lilies. Would there be an issue with mosquitos? Is anything added to the water to help with that?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have a question I hope you consider for your Sunday Q & A session. What can I do about the teeny, tiny ants that have set up colonies in my very large pots that are set into my landscape? Zone 6b Is this a common problem?
I always enjoy your garden tours!! Thank you!
Why do anything about them? They'll protect your plants and clean up whatever's on the ground that could be food. Ants getting into my house and fire ant colonies are the only ones I ever mess with, the rest are just part of the natural cycle.
I had this in a pot that was sitting directly on the patio stone. I got a wire wheeled plant stand so it”s about two inches off the stone, and the problem stopped
In the beginning, it looks mostly shady but I saw a lot of sun loving plants. How were they thriving in those areas?
Are all of the native plants "nativars", not species?
Yo moss people know what's good ..
Mr. Mottern may embrace the containers and succulents in the rose garden, but Sarah Duke is rolling over in her grave. Everyone understands the impact global warming and water scarcity has had on gardens, large and small the world over, but when visitors' friends think their posts on Instagram are from out west it tells you a great deal. He has spearheaded an effort that has totally changed the 'feel' of Sarah Duke Gardens in less than 10 years, a terrible loss.
The garden was in terrible shape at the time of her death in 1936 and wasn't dedicated to her until 1939. My guess is that she would have loved this garden and the current stewards trying to lessen its environmental impact. Hopefully no one thinks that a monoculture of heavily sprayed roses would be a good decision with visitors including children and pets. I've always joked that the Raleigh rose garden glows in the dark from all the chemicals that have been applied there.
What a disappointing 'garden'!
Omg. Was already planning a trip to this region to visit gardens and the arboretum and thus garden is on the list. Just stunning!
I need a stone mason friend. Oooh love the natural stone in my area. Working on walls in my garden but loooove the stone work!!!! You are blessed to have the stone guy on staff.
Gorgeous! That’s worth a trip to visit for sure!
