Nice tour of a beautiful garden. Love showcasing the beech, one of my favorite trees and explaining tardily deciduous. My favorite winter interest plant?..anything waking up showing life or blooming. Great job Jim and Brie. 🌳 🍂
Thanks so much for this great video. We're new to living in NC and we're just 2 hours away from this great garden...didn't know about it. We've been desperate for some more outdoor places to safely visit during COVID. Road trip as soon as we have a sunny day!
Such an AWESOME episode featuring winter interest plants. My faves in my garden are camellias, autumn brilliance ferns, hellebores, magnolia little gem and all the hollies with the berries!
Thank you for this tour! I did not know about this garden and now I am anxious to visit it. Interesting information about the microclimate under the Cryptomeria, now I have to get an Acanthus to place under mine. My favorite winter plants are Daphne, Hellabores, Camellias and Hollies.
my winter interest: fatsia (reminds me of Dr. Suess); hellebores; edgeworthia (pretty & fragrant!!); and of course - Camellias ... ALL the camellias !!!! but of course we can't forget the conifers - they really get to shine when all the other trees are neked - each one has astructure and form that are fascinating and quite lovely ... thanks again for another great video. I would love to do a Carolina garden tour (I'm in Atlanta) and you are helping me to fill out my bucket list - yee haw !!!
I agree! An open sunny spot can easily be made beautiful but to work in & around a woodland takes some real chops! The moisture & sun conditions can vary within just a few feet. In the heat of the summer, a woodland garden is an oasis!
Some of my favorite winter 🥶 plants are hellebores, camellias . I just picked up some beautiful primroses yesterday. The colors are amazing. Can’t wait to plant them. 👩🌾
YES! Your first favorite winter interest plant was EXACTLY what I was going to ask about on Jim's Question & Answer Sunday! I'm in NC as well an always admired this under story tree that I saw on the side of the road for the beautiful papery foliage it keeps. And now I know what it is! Thank you both!!!
Right now I’m loving a Nandina that was planted around my mailbox. I have no idea what variety it is but the color right now is amazing. It’s a really bright, deep red.
I'd not heard of this botanic garden until now. I wish you both could do tours of public gardens in the northeast where I live (zone 5). If any commenters know of a website that does something similar in the northeast, please comment. I like the energy that Jim & Brie bring to horticulture. If traveling becomes feasible I definitely want to visit this garden. I've never even seen a camellia in nature. They look amazing.
The Mountain Laurels and Rhododendrons have the exact same problem in flat areas. Riparian plants typically grow on slopes and dip their roots in the water, but keep the crown out of it.
I planted a distylium in our yard last year and I've loved the grey-green winter color and graceful arching habit. Now it has tiny little flowers. You can only see them up close, but that's still a lovely little surprise in the winter. Also winterberry holly. Don't have any yet but they're on my wishlist.
Thank you for showcasing that shell ginger (Alpina). Do you know if that one flowers in that location? Agreed! American beech is the most lovely of native shade trees.
Love tours! What is the category/family/varieties of camellias that have appeared in recent years that are cold hardy to zone 6 that you believe are truly cold hardy?
I suppose I'm the worst for hating the beech tree in my front yard. 😬 It just constantly drops leaves, filling the gutters and flower bed all winter. It's diseased and will be taken out eventually so maybe they all don't do that?
Beautiful! Love the Camelias!!

"Are you blocking the B?" 😂😂😂 Jim cracked himself up!
Loving these tours! 🌳🌿 Thank you, Brie and Jim for sharing your time and knowledge with us!
I love watching the bloopers-- that is funny, "Are you blocking the B?" ha ha lots of good info.

What a beautiful garden! I can't wait to see what other gems you share with us! 😀👍💕
Great video and BEAUTIFUL tour . I'm enjoying the bloopers at the end.
LOVE these tours! So many great ideas and new plants to learn about!

Have you been to Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground? Their daffodil display has graced Southern Living, reported to be the biggest in the U.S.
Great video. Love both the garden tours and the bloopers. Always good to laugh!
Well, this is a must-visit place that I didn't know about! I love camellias. Favorite winter plant, though, would be yaupon with a ton of berries.
Love these tours
My favorite evergreen is leather leaf 🍂 viburnum and brilliance fern.
Woodland gardens are so beautiful.

Aha! I always wondered why my Beech trees still have brown leaves in the winter. Thanks for explaining that!
Nice garden and tour; I especially like the understory plantings 👍
Wow - never heard of Cape Fear Botanical Garden - very nice!! I love the 'Top 3' approach
The General Mouton stood out to me as well. Brie's favorite, the flower portion, looks very similar to our Confederate Rose.

Love the military support! And you guys crack me up over the tobacco barn 🤣
My fav here on gulf coast for winter is the beautiful Holly Fern!! Thanks guys super cool!!
I love Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'North Light' in the winter scape. The bronze and copper color bark of the tree seems to glow in the landscape.
Love the video, I selfishly wanted it to be longer. 😆 glad you are planning on doing another one there!
This was really great! Thank you so much for for sharing this! I love the laughs at the end and how much love you guys have for plants!!
I like the Henry Lauder Walking Stick for it's winter interest of twists and turns.

I've seen native camellias in Native Japan growing along stream edges. I think they kind of like the water like our mountain laurels or rhododendrons.

Miscanthus is our Winter fav!

Beutyful friends 🙌🌱
Really beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Love it! Have never been there but want to go now
Hopefully you’ll do an episode on the C.sasanquas
CFBG added to my list! Great video!
Love it's and thank you for sharing 🤗

Ever been to Leu Gardens in Orlando? 2,300 camelias......
Wow. 2300?
@@rdarrett3635 sorry I was mistaken. It's only 2000 plants and 230 different cultivars. I was just there a couple weeks ago. It's amazing.
Ooh 😮 must visit
Added to my list...
Love that they support military!!👍🏻
We’ll be going!
I love camellia
why was the Japanese maple planted in a container?
I suppose I'm the worst for hating the beech tree in my front yard. 😬 It just constantly drops leaves, filling the gutters and flower bed all winter. It's diseased and will be taken out eventually so maybe they all don't do that?
to sum up: not everything introduced and naturalised is invasive. Only those that posts a negative impact are.
