- After a very long time of not giving you a tour of my ranch transformations, I finally bring you an update of the making of my own botanical garden paradise. This wonderful property was owned by my beautiful family for over 30 years. They passed on leaving me in charge of the estate. My partner Luíz and I decided to take the leap of faith and keep the property and become ranchers. At first it was not as committed since we already lived in the city. But fate took us there and now 6 years later we call this our own paradise in this 6 years I began working the outside while Luíz and his best friend, plus contractors began the entire makeover of the house. My vision was to turn my parents crop yard into an environmental art piece of botanical beauty, using recycled materials and hand-made idea. Within that massive undertaking I began growing my orchid collection. During the pandemic we had no choice but to stay home so we used the time wisely and immediately took charge of the remaining projects. This episode shows a glimpse of how this transformation is becoming a reality. Join me on this very special and personal tour of my botanical vision. #botanicalgarden #botanical #botanicalbeauty #orchids #gardenideas #gardening #gardeningtips #gardeninspiration #yardcleaning #yard #crop #mango #guava #avocado #sapote #mameysapote

Nelson, you are very fortunate to have such a beautiful “ranch “ as you call it. Your space is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing
Thank you. I’m very grateful and count my blessings. 💚🙏🏼
Nelson, the ranch is beautiful and peaceful with no weeds or weeds. This is Florida. Pull the weeds and in 3 days they are back. Never be embarrassed. Loved this video.
You know it! Those weeds in Florida are on steroids.
Your ranch is heaven on earth. Luis and you are enjoying the best life has to offer. You have a wonderful work/balance lifestyle; work hard and smart you play the same. Respectfully
Thanks so much Debbie. It’s our private Idaho. 💚
Such a beautiful garden tour! You have so many beautiful plants all around! Also I love how you described the guava tree as a Christmas tree with all the different colored sachets, it really does look fun and festive!
Thank you Emmanuel. My partner came up with the multi colored bags. He sews each one himself. It’s amazing the dedication he has.
You have a beautiful home, Nelson. Love the little food and orchid paradise 💚
Thanks so much! This donation goes back into the channel. Very much appreciated. 🙏🏼
Magnificent... All your and Louis' hard work shines through. Just stunning
Thank you kindly!💚🙏🏼
I moved to a rural area almost 40 years ago . It's only 2 acres and an old (1883) landmarked Dutch farmhouse but I love it and don't ever want to live in a city again. Thanks for sharing your little paradise.
Wow! That sounds like an awesome place. 💚
Your ranch is to die for. There are so many fruit trees, I could live there. All I need is a hammock. You did a good job with the cleaning, you’re not just a handsome face. 😃
Thank you PC! We do have hammocks that we put up when we have summer day parties. We take them down due to the rains rotting the fabric.
Hello Nelson, your property is AMAZING. That plant you asked about is a philodendron Birkin. ❤
Yes! Thank you!
What a beautiful green oasis you have. I hope you get to enjoy it for many years to come. Between the orchids, aroids, hoyas etc, I would never need to go on vacation since you own a little corner of heaven. Enjoy it....
William I never want to leave my place. I dread getting in my car and driving away. I could be there all day everyday and never get bored. It is a ton of work, but the rewards are unmeasurable.
Hola Nelson, your ranch is gorgeous.
I have a ginger Mariposa plant, smells great 🇨🇺
Birds love to eat my nectarines fruits and putting those bags on the fruits is a great idea.
Gracias for the tour.
Hi Angel you are so cute.🐈⬛
Sounds great! Let me know how the bagging goes. You can order the fruit protective bags on Amazon.
I totally enjoyed your walk around on your beautiful ranch Nelson, it's such an inspiration for us your loyal viewers!
Hi Curlene! Wonderful always reading your lovely comments. Glad you enjoyed it. I hope to see you again at a show.
@@naturenel most definitely!
Nelson, you did an AMAZING cleaning job😱. I kept thinking how badly your back must be hurting just when you told us your body was feeling it! What a lovely piece of paradise🤗. I am “kind” of envious. The mosquitoes and spiders would keep me inside😜😍
Yes! Thank you! My body was so achy. I felt like I went to the gym and did every machine in there. lol! But my yard is my gym. I don’t workout in a gym at all. 1 acre of botanical care is the gym one can go to. I work from morning to late afternoon. That means my body is in a workout for many hours. Way more than a gym. 💪🏼
Hi Nelson is very beautiful garden thanks for sharing 😍🌱🌱🌱
Glad you enjoyed it Rosana.
Hi Nelson, I disagree with your avocado comment. Everyone knows the BEST avocados come from California 😂😂😂 but as for the rest of your video I have no word to express how beautiful and extravagant it looks. Literally it looks like a resort. Thank you for sharing love how you underplanted under the mature trees and let nature take over.. looks like every tree in your yard is the tree of life.. please continue to keep us posted!!! Stay greener
I love that! “Every tree looks like a tree of life”. I do love California avocados. The haas avocado are delicious. But we grow several different types here including Cuban avocados. They are called Catalina. In South Miami we’re lucky to be able to grow every type of avocado due to its tropical climate. No where else in the United States can you grow so many different types of Mangoes and Avocados. It is a blessing.
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful garden! Thank you for the tour!
My pleasure. Thanks for taking the tour.
I believe the plant you asked about is Philodendron hybrid 'Prismacolor Birkin'. Light: medium to bright indirect. Avoid direct sunlight. Water: Water when top inch of soil is dry. Purified water is best. Fertilize: Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing. Your ranch is beautiful. Cheers!
Thank you so very much. 🙏🏼🤗💚
Educational as always.
I'm looking forward to seeing the mounted tree orchids in bloom again.
Me too! One of them is budding.
Your ranch is lovely. I live on a land about 5 acres in extent and I know what it is like to maintain a large garden. We have coconuts mostly, teak trees, pepper vines, bananas and many types of tropical fruits. So there is no end to the work .I have left part of it to grow into a forest. In another part I have cultivated tea. Though I have to labour a lot I do enjoy the peace and quiet, being close to nature. Hope your ranch will keep you happy for many many more years.
Wow! 5 acres is quite allot. I would love to have 5 acres. I would do a lagoon type of area. Sounds like you have a your own paradise. It is a never ending maintenance and upkeep.
Absolutely beautiful. A daily labor of love. I totally understand your efforts. I can’t wait for my yard to be so mature and beautiful. Wonderful job!
Thank you so much! Happy gardening 🧑🌾
Nelson, your ranch is beautiful. Thanks x sharing with your audience. Saludos!!! 👍
Thank you too for taking the tour with me. 🤗💚👍🏼
Absolutely stunning Nelson!! Thank you for sharing with us. You have an incredible orchid collection; however, your home is soooo much more, what an amazing sanctuary you’ve created. love all of your greenery, especially Hoya, and aroids. So beautiful
Thank you so much! I have big dreams for that space. 🤗
Fantastic tour. Thank you, Nel. I really enjoyed it. ❤❤❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the tour. 🤗👍🏼💚
Your family have set you up well, you are a lucky man. We just have to get you hooked on Heliconias.
Absolutely. I thank them all the time. 💚🙏🏼
Nelson, your place is beautiful! If the mosquitoes are driving, you crazy, get some Mosquito Bits (Home Depot, Lowes) and spread them around your yard, and when it rains, it will soak into whatever it is on and keep them from proliferating. It works. Plus, it doesn't harm the other insects. Win, win!
Hola Nelson tu gardin es inmenso me recuerda ah un jardín votanico ❤
Thanks for the tips!
Nelson your Ranch is absolutely Beautiful Loved Loved Loved you both doing excellent work! ❤
Thanks so much. 💚
Nel your ranch is amazing!! I would get lost in there, so many fruit trees wow. Very nice job at the end of the video!!!👌 Mamey, Mango and Guava are the typical fruits I grew up eating in Cuba as a child. You are very blessed to have them at your fingertips.
Thanks so much. Nothing like eating a fruit straight from the tree. We have Cuban aguacate Catalina. They are amazing.🥑
What a magical place ❤love the finca I no the are a very special place for you in memory of you family well done Nelson you mom and dad are very happy with the beautiful place and thank for sharing with all and post data I love mamey 😂😂
Thanks so much. I feel them in the garden with me all the time. 🤗🙏🏼💚
A very peace inspiring stroll through your obviously loved garden. Thank you again so very much.
Glad you enjoyed the tour Daniel. 👍🏼
Great job Nelson. Really nice tour of your yard. Very great clean-up. Thanks for sharing. ❤ the green with white stripes are birkins & the colourful red tree we call match-me-if-you-can or Jacob's coat is used being heated with oil for blisters, boils, swollen parts of body. It draws out festa or colds & aches.
oh wow! Did not know that about the copper leaf bush. I may just try that when I have swelling. Thank you!
Just fantastic! Stunning and beautiful! You and Luis have such a good eye. It is so difficult to maintain large spaces and takes time and dedication, I well know. Not only do you and Luis do that, but you make every space beautiful, relaxing and personal. Thanks for sharing!! High five x 10! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Keep it 💚.
Thank you so much!😊
Hi 👋🏼
Nelson you have such an awesome ranch! You’re so lucky to have inherited this beautiful space. Enjoyed the tour so relaxing 😊
So glad you enjoyed the tour. 🤗🍃💚
In the ginger corner, the pink hanging flower opens at night like the dragon fruit flowers.....beautiful orchid lily.... an epiphyllum.
Beautiful Cleaning job Nelson PARADISE ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!👍🏼
Beautiful property, thanks for the tour. Love the glasses!
Awe! Thanks for noticing the new glasses. They are so comfortable too.
I love watching your house tour videos. It’s almost like I live with you. I’m from Brazil, I’m in Brazil right now, but I live in the west coast of Florida, around Sarasota.
So cool! I love Brazil so so much. I’ve visited many parts of Brazil including the Amazon. Great food and even greater company. 🇧🇷💚💛💙
Wow Nelson, that's a lot of property to take care of. I get tired just looking at what I have here, eventhough I have fake grass on most of the property and brick where I park my car. Weeds grow everywhere as soon as God sends us a few drops of rain 😢 which has now been gone for months on end. Enjoy your space, it looks so beautiful. ❤
Oh it never ends. But I gotta say when it all cleaned up and propped up, it’s a dream yard. It’s been about 6 years in the making. I have so much more in mind. Time and money is the restraining factor.
Hi Nelson, this video was a great motivation for me at this time. I had envisioned a similar concept with my countless fruit trees but now Beryl has decided otherwise. I really enjoyed the tour of your beautiful ranch and being the adventurous person that you are, I can only imagine what it is going to look like a few years from now. Thank you so much for sharing, cheers my friend🙌🏽❤️
Hi precious! I did see what Beryl did to your garden. I was heartbroken. But like you said, time to rebuild. I’ve gone through a couple of those nasty storms in the past. We’ve had to bring tow trucks to chain the massive fruit trees back up. Hopefully my episode brought you some motivation to your garden. 🙏🏼💚
@@naturenel Oh yes, i was truly motivated. Beryl uprooted a few of my fruit trees and literally folded the irons supporting my small gazebo but watching your video has uplifted my spirit a whole lot to overcome the disaster. Continue to teach and inspire Nelson, we love and appreciate your channel.
Thanks for sharing Nelson
WOW, your plants look like their on steroids. It must be wonderful, waking up to an orchid paradise every morning. It must take hard work and dedication to achieve such beauty. You're a trooper, and Louis 😊❤ 🇬🇧
Thank you! Indeed it’s allot of work. There are days that I wonder if it better just simplifying and just move to an apartment. Allot less to do for sure. But then I look at my paradises and I’m okay with the daily chores.
I really admire your ranch! I’ve always love, love, love it! I remember, the first video I watched was your video showing your ranch when your channel just started, and I haven’t even finished watching it, I already clicked subscribe button! That’s a lot of work but satisfying! Thanks for showing it again ❤
Awesome! Thank you so much for being one of my first viewers and still supporting. 💚🙏🏼🤗
Your ranch is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us ❤
You are so welcome. 🙏🏼
BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome!
❤wow 👌 love your Ranch 😊 nice to come hone to an oasis ❤
I have those ginger plants coming up wild indoor garden. That white ginger flowers smell devine! Those monsteras are huge!! I've only seen such huge ones at our botanical garden 😮😊 great job. Gardening is most definitely a labor of love, and that shines thru ✨️
Thank you so much. We’ve had the monstera for about 6 years now. They do give amazing fruit. I need to get more ginger type plants. 🌱
It’s huge and a lot of work. Everything is so pretty and well maintained. Hand picking weeds go me is gratifying and instant, but a back breaker😂. Can’t believe those birds ripped the screens😠😠, gotta wonder what they were after go do that. Wish I was closer bc I love doing the weeds. Thanks for the tour, it really looks nice.💚💚
Weed picking is relaxing when it’s not 90+ heat outside. lol!
Gorgeous garden Nelson😌🤲💖I love it dearly
Thank you Newman
Sr Nel me encantan sus videos los disfruto ,si es la flor mariposa , la flor nacional de Cuba ,tienenun aroma muy agradable ,yo las tengo ,esta maravilloso su jardín .Abrazos
Gracias María. 💚🙏🏼
Beautiful and peaceful 🌳🌿
It really is.
Beautiful garden so happy for you guys😊😊😊
Thank you Yolanta 🫶🏼
That plant at 13:30 is a Birkin. I have two of them. I like that fern. I just got an Australian tree fern.
Thank you!😊
Wow…so beautiful and I had no idea the monstera had fruit❤
Yup! Monstera fruit is one of the tastiest fruits in the world. It is to die for. A combination of bananas, pineapple, and strawberries. They call it the fruit bowl fruit.
@@naturenel Thank you for the tour I love all your videos especially the tours of homes including yours 🥰 and Whats in bloom. I’m in Sarasota so its especially nice to see someone in our zone. Have a wonderful weekend 😎☀️
Your place is so wonderful, Sir Nelson.
The flor mariposa is indeed very fragrant. In the place I live, it is called Camia. The stripey philodendron beside it is called Berkins.
Thank you! Where do you live that the Camia grows wild?
@@naturenel I live in the southern part of the Philippines (Mindanao). The Camia grows so well in trenches which are a bit muddy or wet.
Gossamer Guava! Love it.
I have to market that! 😂
Garden paradise 😍 (hmm, no mosquitoes allowed in paradise!)
I wish that were possible. lol! This mosquitos 🦟 are so drunk this season. They don’t move when you smack em.
@@naturenel lol, that’s good! I’m afraid of super agile mosquitoes - you know, the kind that can sense your hand coming and are long gone by the time you made contact- only to circle back and bite you somewhere else 😱
Omg I love your garden 💚💚💚
Thank you buddy. 💚
😮!!!! Beautiful 🤩
💚
I reiterate: You *NEED* a Gunnera manicata somewhere amongst your garden... if nothing more than Wow power :)
They do grow pretty massive like my monstera. 💚
Absolutely beautiful! I know that I’ve told you this before but I’ll say it again 😊💚.
Btw way when I hit the like button it hit 365 🤓🥰
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you my friend. 🙏🏼
I ove the mamey juice.😋😋
Mmmmmm never thought of it as juice. I’ve had it as a smoothie with condensed milk. It’s amazing.
Well done NEL
Thank you🙏🏼
Your vanilla Orchid looks amazing. If you are up to the challenge one day to get your own vanilla pods 🫛 . You will need to hand pollinate them.❤❤❤ Enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for making them🎉
Can you believe I was going to pollinate the flowers when it bloomed but I kept forgetting. 😖 Definitely next time. They are growing beautifully.
Hey Nelson, I enjoyed the walkabout in your lovely growing space, just beautiful. The Philodendron Burle Marx, the one Mercedes gave you can take over your yard if it escapes the pot.The other with stripes is a Philodendron Birkin. The large shrub with colorful reddish leaves is a type of Acalypha .
Thank you for the name and heads up on the Burle Marx Philodendron. I did not know it takes over a space. I will definitely keep it in a pot. Burle Marx is a great landscaper/garden artist of Brazil. I’m sure it’s named after him.
Nelson I love mamey is my favorite fruit 😋 your place is beautiful ❤
Thank you! Our mamey are so sweet and custardy.
@@naturenel are you way sale them ?
En el supermarket son bien caros yo Pague $11 por uno pequeño 😔 sabes que hice germine la semilla hace 1 año y ahora tengo
Una hermosa pequeña Mata de sapote que es come le llamamos Al mamey en Honduras 🇭🇳
Wow Nelson que bella está tú mariposa blanca. Por que la llamas ginger? No la conocia por ese nombre! Está bella she looks happy. Ypur garden amazing as always. 💚
Gracias. La mariposa es un ginger. En Inglés se conoce cómo tal. I love it. There was a time I didn’t think it would make it. But it loves that spot. And now it’s growing several new canes.
Your garden is just so GORGEOUS! What a delightful walk with you. You are so fortunate to have such a nice area in which to relax after your workday. Do you have an acre or a bit larger? The guava bagging is a great idea. Guavas are attractive to fruit flies in Florida. Your partner has devised an easy way to deal with them. Well done! Liked seeing the vanilla orchid growing area. Have you ever tried growing bananas and pineapples? The former are great for wet areas in the garden while the latter are great for sunny areas. These fruits taste so much better when home grown. If you allow them to ripen before eating, they are so sweet and delicious! Thanks so much for sharing this video. It was a highlight to my morning.
You are so funny. A place to relax to after a day of work. 😂 I get home and that’s work space #2. But I do enjoy it nonetheless. I have an acre. We owned the property next to us as well that’s also an acre, but we sold it. I wish we never would have. 😞We had bananas for a while. Never had pineapple. 🍍
I feel that soon, we may become tropical in our area. Non-stop rains for well over 7/8 days.
Mid range West Michigan.
Your ranch is truly amazing and will give you bundles of enjoyment when you retire.
( if you ever can retire )
It’s been raining everywhere. It’s just insane how much rain is falling. I hope that I retire very late in life. I’m way to active in many things. But I do dream of just going out to my garden and do nothing but enjoy my free time.
13:28 thats philodendron birkin nelson❤❤❤😊
Thank you!!!!!!🙏🏼
The close fully green is also a philodendron... burle - marx
With putting one pot in another....
like the bougainvillea the roots remain bonded...
Your Home Depot plant is a Philodendron Birkin
Thank you!
👍👍💖💖
💚
Looks great
Thank you Michael. 👍🏼
That’s Philodendron Birkin
How do you keep your pots from falling during a storm?
Which orchids do you keep inside? Do you rotate in the house / outside?
I only keep Phalaeonopsis inside for decoration
SHE bit you, as only female mosquitos feed. lol
You know I know that and my knee jerk reaction was to call it a he. lol! Maybe that one identifies as he/him. 😂🦟
It's philodendrum bikini
Thank you💚
How big is the property?
We have 1 acre land. That’s equivalent to 43,560 square feet.
