    Can you imagine the maintenance and upkeep it takes to keep those hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of rocks in place AND keep the flowers watered AND weeds pulled out of the garden?????? Incredibly creative...Jordan, you make us feel like we are standing right there next to you.

    Jordan, amazing watch. The rock garden is incredible. After Mr. Hartman passed in 1944, his widow, Mary maintained it to her death in 1997. It then fell into disrepair, it was brought back to life and is owned and maintained by the Friends of Hartman Rock Garden.

    I loved this Jordan, so creative and dedicated. What a beautiful gift he left for us . I'm glad they are taking good care of it. Sorry you had to film in the rain, but I think it added something special to the video.

    I love the Rock Garden, such an amazing place to visit. I’m also a big fan of folk art, so I’m glad I was able to “go there” through your vlog. And nice to get a glimpse of your mom and grandpa!

    I missed you. You was here in my city ... Springfield, Ohio. Me and my 10 year old watches your videos everytime . I ran by your videos about a year or year half ago . The video was about a funeral home here in Springfield. Since I had found that video I have followed you. Thank for all the video's you make. Glad you made it back to my city. In fact I live a few blocks or so from the Hartman Rick Garden. Great video.

    Kudos to the late Mr. Hartman for creating those fantastic miniature houses, sculptures and pint-size figurines. I am awe-struck by the intricate details in his work, as well as the beautiful landscape surrounding it. Thank you so much for sharing this magical place with us, Jordan!!! (Good to see your Mom and Grampa enjoying it, too!)

    WOW! that was amazing. All the detail that Ben Hartman put in his work. That was truly special. Thank you for weathering the storm to show us that. I swear Jordan if everyone had your beautiful heart and your zest for life, our world would be such a fantastic place. Always stay gold 🥰 The little lighthouse in your hometown.. 🤗 I would stay in one of those tents too lol so fun.

    That place reminds me of a place here in Canberra, Australia called Cockington Green. Lots of miniature structures in a huge English garden.

    All I can say is WOW. That place is amazing. He was very talented. You never know what you could do in life. I love the fact that it's still standing and being taken care of so well. Thanks Jordan for filming this in the rain. Now that's dedication. Say hi to your Mom and Grandpa for me. We always love to see them.

    Love everything in the Hartman Rock Garden. He was amazing, creative and very detailed in his rock work. Great you got to spend the day with your mom and grandpa. I could probably spend hours in that garden. The tents were nice looking. Thank you for being willing to get wet from the rain so you could show us such an awesome rock garden. We appreciate it . We love your family. God bless you and your family.

    I love places like this , I always think how nice it would have been to have a husband who enjoyed a hobby that he could enjoy & be able to work along side me in the garden. Well I got one who enjoys photography so at least I have photos of all the great things we have grown though out the years ! This rock garden is amazing , thanks Jordan for always bringing us to awesome places all over our country & beyond !

    @carloscarpinteyro332 4 роки тому

    I really enjoyed this! Nothing like going back to your old "stomping grounds" and seeing the old beloved landmarks that are still there, that you remember as a kid, it is very comforting, and surreal. I'm sure that your folks are very proud of your great success as a vlogger, and how you have still managed to keep yourself untainted from the "evil influences" that permeate Hollywood. I lived on Carlton Way in Hollywood from 1980-1988. My wife grew up in east Hollywood, graduate of John Marshall High, and her parents are both buried at the Hollywood Memorial Cemetary, where you have done numerous vlogs.
    The man with the folk art garden did an awesome job, very constructively, while being out of work, of such high quality that it has stood the test of time. Like all of the colorful zinnia flowers that you showed. I live in Arizona, and I have alot of them in my yard. The zinnias are about the only flower, out here that can still produce gorgeous blooms in the 115 degree summer heat!

  • @patbowman6723

    This is so beautiful! I wonder what Mr. Hartman did for a profession, it must have been something to do with stones. He was so creative and talented I wonder if he had a part in something much grander. He left us some beautiful things to look at. Thank you Jorden.

Also, have to say: Let’s see now: opening a watch just like the one Elvis owned and that a member of KISS helped you get is not too shab of a video beginning, Dude!

Many good times to be had on the river. Love Hartman rock garden. Love these little hidden areas of Ohio.
