It depends right? I know we're all human and have diff tastes; but I just don't care for sleepy, lame plant tours, haha. As a gardener and collector myself, I don't like redundant or bland info where they try to convince the viewer it's some groundbreaking new thing; people giving hour-long, in-depth tours of their Box hedges (which I do have in my front yard, we don't need an hour tho), compost piles, ugly dead looking veggie patches and overall...blasé collections!! Those are what I usually don't like! Lmao! I am biased in Southern California though. If it's not bromeliads, succs, desert and tropicals, or Mediterranean-influenced "herbaceous border"-style planting, I'm bored.
Summer does tours at commercial nurseries, small plant shops AND research botanical gardens. I really like her mix of interest in new horticultural varieties and the botanical species they came from. If you haven't... check out her previous tour of this same building with Chad.
Okay, I love that you know he knows that she's a very intelligent and knows what she's talking about. Doc Block was cool to watch, and I know it's probably a mixture of not having seen Summers videos, his generation, and not knowing her viewership well, but I found some of his tours feeling a bit *ick* like he was going to call her sweetheart.
Hi I got a wild adiantum pyramidale that grow in my garden wall , I’m from Martinique. My hobby was collecting fern leaf , I had over 87 different species on my island in just 2 city . I’m so glad to see some of them on UA-cam 😊
When Chad mentioned _Marantaceae_ and the relation to _Zingiberales_ (gingers), that reminded me what an amazing family the Arrowroots are! It's truly amazing. Besides the famous Maranta, Stromanthe, Ctenanthe, and Geoppertia-Calathea, it also include bananas (Musa, Ensete, etc.), Heliconia, Strelitzia, Galangal, Curcuma (turmeric)... even CARDAMOM is part of the Marantaceae! That blew my mind when I read it. I know I'm forgetting some key members, but it does make sense when you see the blooms of all of them. The plant structure and leaf shape too; rather banana-like leaves in general, especially on strelitzia, heliconia and Gingers. And all have very unique and showy blooms. All different flowers but very similar strippy leaves. Also within the family as a whole, virtually none are toxic 😇✌🏼
I think you're thinking of the Order Zingiberales, which includes all the families Zingiberaceae, Heliconiaceae, Streliziaceae, Musaceae... But they sure do look a lot alike!
I’m on vacation right now in the cloud forest of Ecuador. Theres a wide range amazing plants growing here in this town called Mindo. I love all the different fruit that are growing here banana’s guava cacao papaya mango and passion fruit star fruit
Chad’s information and your comments and great camerawork made this almost better than being there in person, like a wonderful narrated tour with video! The variety of plants there is amazing. Thank you so much for doing this tour 🤗🌱🌿
everything is so lush. the RO water and fog system has really made a difference. i saw the coco de mer several years ago when it was a lot smaller. i was fortunate to find a coco de mer nut on ebay listed as a gourd. one of my happier finds!
Would be interesting to study why many of these shade-loving plants have purple underlayer leaves (abaxial). It could be for the protection of the leaves in high light by leaf rolling/folding.
I’m so happy for your new home. It’s such an adorable house with great outdoor space. I know you are going to making it look even more amazing. Congratulations!!!
I am a member at Fairchild's and enjoy the conservatories but it is very interesting learning about the plants and their names. Always enjoy the videos from FTBG!
This is my favorite show now..I like all the places you go and the people you meet along the way.. I think you caught Chris off guard with the monkey butte joke..lol
Ceratostema are so freaking cool, to me they look some kind of perfectly sculpted vase. I've been fortunate enough to see them in the wild, at about 10,000-11,000 in Ecuadorian Andes!
Great tour. I bet Summer is happy to leave behind the gray and beige of the Northeast for a while. At Fairchild, I think what we're witnessing is more of the "Plant Custodian not just Plant Collector" philosophy that Doc Block mentioned.
Looks beautiful. I want to visit Fairchild one day. That hot house seems like our weather here in Queensland right now in the hottest part of summer . Today's temperature range is a sultry 24 to 37 degrees Celsius and humid .
He's so chill, he's like a plant genius version of Mr. Rogers of the plant world. He has such a soothing voice. I love these tours!!
Omg He ISSS!!!
And he answers her extremely specific questions so calmly and perfectly!!
yeah this video has such a chill vibe it's great
His tours and the garden are always therapeutic. Love it!
Chad is great in these segments his knowledge is encyclopedic !
I normally don’t care for plant tours, but thoroughly enjoyed this one. Excited for part 2!!

What a privilege to visit Mr. Husby and his domain!
If you haven't watched, Summer's previous visit to this same building is equally interesting.
He holds so much knowledge. It's impressive.
It is my dream to meet Summer and Chad Sir.

Love every visit to Fairchild and Chad Husby is the best! Thanks again, such amazing plants! 🌱💚
He is my fav of all your guests. Just so zen. I watched his first tour all the time.
