This is why evergreen shrubs & plants are so very important to give a large foundation life. These home homeowners did an amazing job incorporating that. Thank you Jim.
Thank the homeowners from all of us for sharing. I love the meandering wall along the driveway. Lots of good ideas. I've never seen such a lush shade garden. It gives me hope for my yard and I learned some new plants to shop for.
Wow! I was sold at the initial view of those gorgeous Crape Myrtles and that giant Acer. I love the use of rock in any landscape and it looks amazing in theirs's.
wowzer - what a magnificant garden - so much texture, form, color and fragrance - outstanding !!! please thank your neighbor for allowing us to walk the paths of this wonderland with you ... looking forward to Part II !!!!
Oh please express my gratitude to your neighbors for sharing! I have a lot of shade as well and got a lot of ideas. And I am sooo jealous of their stone! Great how it adds height to the landscape. Truly amazing garden. Thank you.
Shade gardens with the amazing variation of colors from deep greens, purples, to yellow greens and blue greens all packaged in varying sizes and shapes creates wonders for resting your eyes and calming the mind. Thank you Jim for the tour.
I can see why this yard caught your attention. Spectacular mature landscapes in the shade offer something a full sun spot lacks. I'm working around 2 big oaks in front of our front porch & can only dream of something this nice. Much less maintenance than most yards too!
What a beautiful landscape. Looks like a 1940s era house/neighborhood. I would be so happy if this were my home for sure. As a previous poster said, "so inviting". TY Jim.
You do a fantastic job showing the garden. Love the way you use your finger to point our plants and appreciate that you show the Latin and common names.
Absolutely gorgeous,congratulations to the homeowners and thanks to Jim for sharing. My front yard shade garden up north I just beginning to wake up so it is so lovely to see such lush green landscape. I admire how natural and organic the landscape looks, testimony to truly talented gardeners.
What a stunning garden! It reminds me of my former next door neighbor's growing up. She was an architectural landscape major, and she planted so many Japanese maples up and down our street. This garden reminds me so much of hers
@@JimPutnam Your videos through the winter help inspire me to plan for the coming summer season. Erie, PA gets the most snowfall in the country... usually we get another dusting around Mother’s Day too!
Hi Jim! Thank you for all of your videos. They have been so helpful as my husband and I have been working on our own garden. We live in Charlotte, NC and I’m so glad I found your channel. You are genuine, and your videos are always very interesting, informative and inspiring! This one was amazing as the aesthetic is similar to ours- we love rocks, variety of plantings, creativity and playfulness while also being cohesive and rhythmic rather than a contrived, too polished, or an ultra formal/ predictable look. Thank you so much for sharing this garden and for all of your videos!
Wow, gorgeous! The homeowners have done an amazing job with their shade loving garden. I like the different pathways with places to sit and admire the beauty and the birds.
Same! I've literally made a list of their plant selections. Such an inspiration for us. Thanks Jim for sharing this. Can't wait to see it throughout the year.
I just found my favourite garden style. Thank you! This makes me wanna stop at each step and explore. Because it's not in yourface kinda colour or beauty. Beautiful nonetheless
Jim this is an absolutely beautiful garden! I love to see the different types of gardens. It gives me ideas for different parts of mine. I have both sun and shade. This is great and helpful that you are sharing these gardens. Thank you!
Fantastic yard and I appreciate your time to video it for us !!! I am surprised to see some of those plants thrive in that much shade. Loving the garden tours !!!
Perfect example of how texture can make a garden a show-stopper, without blooms. I'm really keen on the meandering stone retainer wall /pathways & that they didn't use more brick. Also love their brick house. Can't wait for part 2! **Question:** Did a designer/landscaper do this or is this the result of a VERY talented homeowner? 👍👍🧡🙂
Gorgeous. Clearly a much-loved house, and a gardener with an artist’s soul. A good shade garden can be endlessly detailed and still remain restful somehow. Thanks to them and to you for sharing it with us.
Love all the textures! Due to large trees in my front yard I am using ground covers, shrubs& perennials & removing as much weedy grass as I can. This gave me so much inspiration!
Fantastic garden tour! Thank you. I appreciate that you showed it at this "in between " time, because as a new gardener I find it difficult to imagine what a garden might look like at different times of year. This is very helpful. You are so knowledgeable!
Thanks again for a great garden tour. It is always helpful to see how other people use plants you are interested in planting in your own garden. I hope to see this garden later in the summer.
I just love all of the little paths and use of stones and ground cover. It reminds me of how Jack Barnwell designs his spaces. It’s really beautiful and just proves how beautiful shady gardens can be.
One of my fave garden tours I've ever seen. I can tell it is a labor of love and well cared for. I'm taking notes. I'd love to achieve something similar with plants more suitable to my area (northern Midwest).
Excellent tour. So many people need to see great examples of shady gardens. I look forward to seeing this again on your channel through the growing season. Well done!
LOVED this tour. I have an “all shade” situation as well and seeing this beautiful landscape has been very inspiring. Thank you so much. 🌿(NC 6b mountains)
Spectacular. Thank you to the homeowners for allowing the tour. Jim you are a walking flora encyclopedia 🧐😄 I moved to my present location 8b GA 4 yrs ago. I have never had so much shade to work with. Honestly your channel inspires me. I bought some Yew, Hosta, Ilicium and some others, all experimental. We'll see. 🤞
Iam a big fan of the Japanese garden slash Northwest landscapes feel, pathways, pockets of seclusion and tranquil spaces, soften rocks and trees for height and shade. Beautiful this made my morning....South Carolina?
You should do a series intended for people who have just moved to the RTP area! There are so many transplants (myself included) and I figured out the zone differences through watching your channel! It would be such a hit if you made it a playlist!!!!
Love the community garden tours! Such a beautiful neighborhood. Since I’m seeing this garden in the early spring I was wondering if there is a video of when it is fully awake in summer or fall? It is such an inspiration for my own garden & landscape.
I’m watching this for the second time. Love the artistic wild abandon this garden portrays. I can tell the owner is a wonderful plantsperson. The use of all the ground covers inspire me to use more in my own garden. What is your favorite ground cover?
Edgeworthias are beautiful and stunning year round. I have "Snow Cream" and it is a show stopper. They stay in bloom all winter!! This garden is lovely. Love the rocks and variety of plants. I thought that sedums needed more sunlight? Thanks and God bless.
Dang you live in a really nice neighborhood. So much variety and such good planting. Will you tell us next time how long the homeowner has been gardening at this house? It looks like a life's work, to me.
This is why evergreen shrubs & plants are so very important to give a large foundation life. These home homeowners did an amazing job incorporating that. Thank you Jim.
I can not get enough of these home garden tours. I enjoy seeing how other people pick and arrange their plantings.
Please bring us back to this yard later in the season. Such an impressive landscape..
🌿💕🌼🌾YESSSS PLEASE !!!! A BIG Thank You for your beautiful & informative videos !!!!!!
I love trees and shade gardens. This garden is outstanding.
I miss my shade garden. I’m now in full sun. Had to change my whole attitude! Lovely plant tour.
Thank the homeowners from all of us for sharing. I love the meandering wall along the driveway. Lots of good ideas. I've never seen such a lush shade garden. It gives me hope for my yard and I learned some new plants to shop for.
This garden is a textbook in texture and structure. Lovely.
Wow! I was sold at the initial view of those gorgeous Crape Myrtles and that giant Acer. I love the use of rock in any landscape and it looks amazing in theirs's.
Love the stonework it makes the yard look to have different elevations
Nice integration of hard and soft scapes, all the curves in the garden and repeating of several plant species! Very inviting!
It really is!!
wowzer - what a magnificant garden - so much texture, form, color and fragrance - outstanding !!! please thank your neighbor for allowing us to walk the paths of this wonderland with you ... looking forward to Part II !!!!
That Willow Oak is enormous! Great garden tour Jim.
We have Oaks throughout this a neighborhood that are that size. All went in the ground in late 1940s.
@@JimPutnam I can imagine young, new homeowners planting them. Lifetime trees 💙
Loved your ID of all the myriad ground covers! Great example of a no grass landscape!
Oh please express my gratitude to your neighbors for sharing! I have a lot of shade as well and got a lot of ideas. And I am sooo jealous of their stone! Great how it adds height to the landscape. Truly amazing garden. Thank you.
Love these shade and shrub tours you do. I love all the depth like you said a shade garden gives
The Willow Oak! What a beautiful tree. You just can't recreate that without investment of time.
Shade gardens with the amazing variation of colors from deep greens, purples, to yellow greens and blue greens all packaged in varying sizes and shapes creates wonders for resting your eyes and calming the mind. Thank you Jim for the tour.
Very pretty even without blooms. Makes me want to dig out more of our lawn & replace with plantings! Thanks Jim.

Such a gorgeous shade garden .I always enjoy looking at other gardens to see how each homeowner designs their spaces. Thanks Jim.
What a stunning garden! It reminds me of my former next door neighbor's growing up. She was an architectural landscape major, and she planted so many Japanese maples up and down our street. This garden reminds me so much of hers
So nice to see a beautiful yard while we just got a few inches of snow. Much to look forward to!
Hopefully that will be that last of it for you

Loving the jazzy intro Jim. And once again another winner tour of shade and part shade gardens. Lots of neat plants packed into the landscape!
Your neighborhood tours are always a enjoyable glimpse of NC residential landscaping. We look forward to seeing more of this property. TY
Wow, gorgeous! The homeowners have done an amazing job with their shade loving garden. I like the different pathways with places to sit and admire the beauty and the birds.
Lovely yard and well - planned! I love their use of groundcover throughout the landscape instead of mounds of mulch you normally see in most places!
ALWAYS enjoy your garden tours!!!!
Wow, this garden is spectacular! The pathways and rocks complement the plants beautifully. Just gorgeous!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful garden!
It's beautiful. I love shady gardens that you can meander through.
This gave me much inspiration for the shady portion of my garden.
Same here. I've never had this much shade to work with. I love this.
Same! I've literally made a list of their plant selections. Such an inspiration for us. Thanks Jim for sharing this. Can't wait to see it throughout the year.
Please return to this garden after more perennials grow through it. I love the use of rocks and paths under these beautiful trees!!
I just found my favourite garden style. Thank you! This makes me wanna stop at each step and explore. Because it's not in yourface kinda colour or beauty. Beautiful nonetheless
I love the shades of green at this time of year.
Such a beautiful shade garden. Can’t wait to see the rest of their garden. Stunning🌸☀️
Jim this is an absolutely beautiful garden! I love to see the different types of gardens. It gives me ideas for different parts of mine. I have both sun and shade. This is great and helpful that you are sharing these gardens. Thank you!

My question as well. Would enjoy talking with owner & getting the history.
In the video description it say it was installed and maintained by The Natural Accent landscape design.
Gorgeous.
Clearly a much-loved house, and a gardener with an artist’s soul. A good shade garden can be endlessly detailed and still remain restful somehow. Thanks to them and to you for sharing it with us.
Love this yard. So glad that you were welcomed to film this!
Gorgeous gardens in Raleigh. Thanks for sharing!
Love all the textures! Due to large trees in my front yard I am using ground covers, shrubs& perennials & removing as much weedy grass as I can. This gave me so much inspiration!
Wow, truly a labor of love! It's beautiful and I love the use of circle paths and sedum ground covers! Looking forward to Part 2! Thank you!
What wonderful plantings everywhere. An awesome tour. Looking forward to seeing the back yard🙂
Fantastic garden tour! Thank you. I appreciate that you showed it at this "in between " time, because as a new gardener I find it difficult to imagine what a garden might look like at different times of year. This is very helpful. You are so knowledgeable!
Love this video, thank you! Can’t wait to see part 2 and the follow-up later in the season.
If they ever lose that amazing oak their whole landscape will have to change. Great video!
Super, super cool landscape. One of the most beautiful no lawn gardens I have seen.
Thanks again for a great garden tour. It is always helpful to see how other people use plants you are interested in planting in your own garden. I hope to see this garden later in the summer.
Fantastic, my kind of landscape. Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
I just love all of the little paths and use of stones and ground cover. It reminds me of how Jack Barnwell designs his spaces. It’s really beautiful and just proves how beautiful shady gardens can be.
I love an older neighborhood of small houses and older plantings. Please could we see more neighborhood tours!
Agree, wonderful use of stones! Stunning landscape.
One of my fave garden tours I've ever seen. I can tell it is a labor of love and well cared for. I'm taking notes. I'd love to achieve something similar with plants more suitable to my area (northern Midwest).
Excellent tour. So many people need to see great examples of shady gardens. I look forward to seeing this again on your channel through the growing season. Well done!
Beautiful landscape. Everything is so lush and green. I love the garden tours, they give me ideas for my own landscaping. Keep them coming.
This garden is like my dreams come true!!! WOW!!!
I would love to see this landscape in the summer.
I like the wall along the driveway. Super interesting!
Thanks for showing this!! Very interested in seeing this again in another month or so!!
They just don’t want any grass to have to mow, lol. Very nice garden area and relaxing.
Gorgeous landscape! It gave me some ideas for my much shaded yard. Please come back with another tour.
Excellent tour, can’t wait to see the second part.
Beautiful landscaping!!! Love the stone wall! They do need to pressure wash the green mold off the house, but other than that, it’s perfect! 😍
What a beautiful garden! Gives me some ideas. I am always afraid to plant some things because of all the shade from my live oaks.
Beautiful landscape and tour thanks for showing. Please show again
I'm in NC with terrible clay soil. We have over 12 acres and I certainly am learning a lot watching your videos.
LOVED this tour. I have an “all shade” situation as well and seeing this beautiful landscape has been very inspiring. Thank you so much. 🌿(NC 6b mountains)
Raleigh, there’s just something about that look. You can definitely see it here and so hard to capture. This helps. Thank you Jim. 😎👌
Absolutely fascinating!! So kind of them to share their lovely space with us.
Wow! So Inspirational!!! I have taken many many notes!!
Spectacular. Thank you to the homeowners for allowing the tour. Jim you are a walking flora encyclopedia 🧐😄 I moved to my present location 8b GA 4 yrs ago. I have never had so much shade to work with. Honestly your channel inspires me. I bought some Yew, Hosta, Ilicium and some others, all experimental. We'll see. 🤞
Awesome, indeed! I would definitely like to see it later on in the season.
This is such a fantastic and helpful video! Can’t wait to see more.
Very nice. There is something so wonderful about a mature shade garden. Great tour ❤️
beautiful garden got several ideas for our NW Arkansas yard. more stones. looking forward to seeing more of this place. thanks
Nice walkthrough
Blessings
Thank you, keep doing these garden/yard tours.
Iam a big fan of the Japanese garden slash Northwest landscapes feel, pathways, pockets of seclusion and tranquil spaces, soften rocks and trees for height and shade. Beautiful this made my morning....South Carolina?
Love it! Hope to see it again in the Summer!
that bloodgood seedling was adorable
Enjoyed the tour very much, thank you! Please show us again when you can. I will look forward to the update!
Great video, Jim! Such a nice garden.
You should do a series intended for people who have just moved to the RTP area! There are so many transplants (myself included) and I figured out the zone differences through watching your channel! It would be such a hit if you made it a playlist!!!!
That Solomon seal is stunning

Wow-what a beautiful garden!
I’m watching this for the second time. Love the artistic wild abandon this garden portrays. I can tell the owner is a wonderful plantsperson. The use of all the ground covers inspire me to use more in my own garden. What is your favorite ground cover?
Would love to see this garden in the summer 😃
Beautiful! Would love to hear the owner’s perspective about their original vision for the garden. They really seem to know what they’re doing.
Edgeworthias are beautiful and stunning year round. I have "Snow Cream" and it is a show stopper. They stay in bloom all winter!! This garden is lovely. Love the rocks and variety of plants. I thought that sedums needed more sunlight?
Thanks and God bless.
What a landscape to explore love the maturity 😊
Wow gorgeous! Hey the answer is always no if you don't ask🙃
Dang you live in a really nice neighborhood. So much variety and such good planting. Will you tell us next time how long the homeowner has been gardening at this house? It looks like a life's work, to me.
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing
Just gorgeous yard!
