He can't stop. Physically and emotionally unable. Tistic savant levels of plant knowledge. There's no holding this man back. I've been trying to figure out how he does it. If I could retain one tenth of the knowledge this guy sponges up, I'd be far happier about my place in the world.
This guy is brilliant, I studied biology and always wondered why botanical gardens weren't created like this, I added this one to my bucket list to visit.
I'm a member of the Berkeley Botanical Garden and a lover of the natural world. Until a month ago, I was a landscaper. A very serious foot problem has messed me up so I can't walk. If I recover, I will go back to creating the beautiful, ecologically integrated gardens that I love. ....Wish me luck. And thank you!
Parker here… Thanks good sir! I visit the Berkeley Botalical Gardens instead of buying a gun. Happy to have you “back”. Appreciate your hard work! OK…GFYB
That’s how I feel about the San Diego Botanic Garden. Since Ari took over as CEO they have been focusing more on conservation / ecology and less on just the aesthetics.
Guy knows every plant like a real freak of nature. Is this stuff all your brain is full of or is there room in there for more? Incredible. You're a genius. A real walking encyclopedia.
I first got into him on his Australian series (because I’m Australian). I was shocked that he could walk through these habitats out here and know so much 😮. He’s incredible!
Hey Joey come visit the Garden In The Woods in Massachusetts; one of the few places which showcases what New England was like before colonial times in terms of plant ecology.
They cut a Dawn Redwood near my apartment and I grabbed a sliver of wood and took it back to my apartment to dry. It went from dense and heavy to balsa wood consistency. Totally amazing!!
Your wealth and breadth of knowledge continue to astound me! I live in SF, just accross the Bay and didn't know about these gardens. Can't wait to visit. Thanks Tony, love your work and your messege.
Everywhere I go I always check out the gardens, in Australia Sydney one have been they best so far spent 6 hours walking around checking out all the cool plants
How can they maintain so many diverse species from such diverse biomes in the the same place? I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do. What a lovely place. Thank you for your tour, Joey. I'll try to catch the docent led one (and not get kicked out) if I'm ever there, but I doubt they could tell me as much about the plants as you just did. ❤
My wife and I were walking on the Oregon coast last summer and came across a huge log it was at least 6 ft. across, the diameter,we decided to attempt to count the tree rings on it thinking it would be a huge number like perhaps a thousand, we were shocked it was 85, I couldn’t believe it but now after watching your videos I believe it truly was only 85 years old. This is amazing to me. Keep up your great work, I always enjoy your work.👍👍
Normally my attention span cannot handle the videos over 20 minutes. However, you sucked me in with this one and I MIGHT venture back to California just because you told me to…🎉😊
Man this is cool! Seeing you walk around this place and describe plants I understand better how your knowledge of plant taxonomy became so global. I've been studying botany for a few decades but idk shit compared to your nearly encyclopedic ability at identification on every continent! Knowing you worked here it starts to make more sense though. Really want to visit this garden this spring now, beauties!
🎶 I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden 🎶 Very nice walk Joey, beautiful botanical garden tour. I've finally found a home for a Plumeria left to me by a friend that passed. She had a greenhouse, I do not. New friend is a California transplant with more room inside for a tropical. North Georgia will have a hard frost soon, have to find space for the few non-natives I grow. Hate to lose my Fuchsia but they're here for the long migrated Hummers anyway. Good stuff as usual Joey
I love gardens that have the plants labeled! Then I can take pictures of ones I like to explore more about them or so I can remember it for planting somewhere.
Yes, too many botanical gardens today are set up with hardscape for weddings and events. I would recommend the botanical garden in Montreal. Plant centered.
It's usually because of the need to support the garden. Pretty sad how it's hard to get sufficient funding as an educational and conservation garden. Humans, amirite 😕
I live in an area where "botanical gardens" equal test gardens for domestic plants. I use to hybridize hemerocallis. I quit when they turned a tough garden flower into a primadona that can't perform without fertilization and mucho agua. My cultivars did well this summer even though there was a drought and I only watered them once.
Aesculus californica was the first native that I planted at my house 8 to 10 years ago. My wife and I were walking the dogs at the local arboretum and there were tons of buckeyes on the ground germinating. I love the look of these trees in all seasons, unfortunately it has yet to flower.
Glad you made it back to the stomping grounds, Ton! Late March and April is usually the best time of year for the bulbs in the South African section. There used to two huge terscheckii cacti but one of them collapsed after a winter storm a few years back. Here’s a vid I made years ago with photos of flowers in the bot garden: ua-cam.com/video/Gy5KxlwcGOo/v-deo.htmlsi=kkutIXi0rl4Y2Zoz
This video will change your life has my life and the thousands you have influenced. Your love of nature is addictive the only vice I have in life "Life" thank you bro
I haven't made time for this garden yet, but was just spending 3/4 hr with ancient irises in Tasmania when our host says he doesn't know Deep Purple! ?? !! ?? OK, I also don't know if it's a movie. To me, Deep Purple is a hard driving English metal band from the 1970s (formed 1968), famous for _Smoke On the Water_ (about Dweezil Zappa's flare gun mishap), _Hush_ , _Space Truckin'_ , and my fave of theirs, _ Highway Star_ . The title cut of their 1984 lp, _Perfect Strangers_ , is another I like a lot. I just learned they're still making albums and I'm way behind, so thanks for inspiring my research! The hard rock band may have taken the name from a mushy 1963 duet by brother / sister combo Nino Tempo and April Stevens.
Come visit the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens in Northern California!! We are small but awesome, right on the edge of the ocean cliffs with rhododendrons and a gorgeous sampling of coast headlands meadows and some Pygmy forest
some people only want to see the glory of a few angels but when you see the beatific vision of the harmony of beauty & intelligences you know that you were gimping yourself.
Such a beautiful work! the Pereskia leaves are also edible. Colletia paradoxa is found in sandy scrubs in buenos aires province, also uruguay and rio grande do sul. You should visit the selva tucumano-boliviana. Saludos desde argentina
You're in my neck of the woods, I live in Vallejo about 20 mins north of Berkeley. We have a nice botanical garden here albeit much smaller than the one you're visiting, it has the same layout and tag design it almost looks to have been created by the same designer!
That Salvia puberula has huge throats and tiny labiums, I bet there’s tons of nectar in there! I like Gardens a lot more nowadays the more natural and less contrived they appear. This one’s amazing! It was kinda crazy watching you step right out of the deserts of America into the temperate forests of Asia 😂
It got down to 14° F. here in 1988. Last major freeze in Bay Area. Don't think SF has had a hard freeze since then, but it did hit 100° F, not too 7:59 long ago Gaia will not be ignored
48:12 what was that about? Haha Also the talk of mycorrhizal stuff excites me, especially because you can't really go see fungi exhibited / preserved in a garden. At least not that I'm aware of. I wonder how many native fungi have ever inadvertently, but successfully made it over to this garden along with something they've planted- if any at all.
I love ecologically sectioned botanic gardens. The Mount Cooth-tha Botanic Gardens in Brisbane, Aus does it this way and its helped me learn a lot aka types of leaves and growth patterns to region. Learn away plant people.
Hey Tony have you been to Tulsa yet and gone to the gathering place it's awesome when everything is going off...if you come up hit me up id love to meet you and have you sign a couple of your books I bought
Thank you plant uncle never stop

Amazing garden!
Generations keep generations going. Beauty.
👍
Minithins, trucker speed
Great! It's good to hear as I'm planning a visit there.
Doing botany PhD and my friend shown me your channel, amazing stuff you must be the #1 botanical communicator on the web!
Guy knows every plant like a real freak of nature. Is this stuff all your brain is full of or is there room in there for more? Incredible. You're a genius. A real walking encyclopedia.

I love this human. Good human.
You sir, have the voice of the people. Your message is good for everyone and every plant involved.
Agreed 👆
One of my favorite places in the Bay. So pumped to see the tropical house open!
Hey Joey come visit the Garden In The Woods in Massachusetts; one of the few places which showcases what New England was like before colonial times in terms of plant ecology.
I live about 15 min from it and it’s one of my favorite places to go for a walk. I highly recommend.
They cut a Dawn Redwood near my apartment and I grabbed a sliver of wood and took it back to my apartment to dry. It went from dense and heavy to balsa wood consistency. Totally amazing!!
This is delightful 🥰
I was just at the botanical garden on Catalina Island and had your voice in my head that it should be free 😉
I"m in the Strybing Arboretum here in SF at least 2-3 times a week :) Never get bored of seeing new plants cycle through the seasons
Reminds me a bit of Otari-Wilton's Bush Botanic Garden here in Wellington, NZ. Great place to visit!
Your wealth and breadth of knowledge continue to astound me! I live in SF, just accross the Bay and didn't know about these gardens. Can't wait to visit. Thanks Tony, love your work and your messege.
If your 3 year old calls you on the Boo-phone, you better answer that shit
Nature is the antidote for OCD.
As a machinist it's an advantage, but not in life.
Thanks Joe, your uploads always seem to fill the empty spots.
Funny how an anxious mind works well for work/tasks but blows it in personal life. 😁 Gotta adjust when I head home.
Thanks Joey. This garden looks amazing.
Thx MUCH for the educational videos. ❤ the presentation and adventure. Keep on Rockin❣️
A truly outstanding tour! Thank you for your wonderful effort
Everywhere I go I always check out the gardens, in Australia Sydney one have been they best so far spent 6 hours walking around checking out all the cool plants
Nice :) I think Adelaide's is better but I haven't had the chance to visit either for several years.
How can they maintain so many diverse species from such diverse biomes in the the same place? I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do. What a lovely place. Thank you for your tour, Joey.

Awesome tour! Thank you
The scenery is amazing, and the atmosphere is so lovely. I really enjoyed exploring it.❤
This is so damn cool. I absolutely need to make a visit here someday

And we have larches in the mountains up here in BC that are over 2000 years old but only a foot in diameter! Temperature baby! 💚
@ wow that is fascinating to me👍I’m from Oklahoma we call telephone poles trees ☺️
Normally my attention span cannot handle the videos over 20 minutes. However, you sucked me in with this one and I MIGHT venture back to California just because you told me to…🎉😊
Great look of this garden.
Thank you for visiting my home town. I remember your video where you roasted the doomed city trees in Oakland.
this is amazing! thank you so much for all the infomation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, hello Tony my favorite Botanical gardens too!
Their Puya collection is amazing.
I got my membership to the Huntington here in LA after seeing the puyas doing their thing. That was life changing shit.
@@avryptickle UNGH that place is legit gorgeous. Congrats!
Thank you, that is Awesome!!
This is how I want to do my own garden, as an ecological museum.
I really like Missouri botanical gardens
Tom Croat is OG.
I love this one! ive actually been to this botanical garden and i recognized it from the little greenhouse behind you
im preparing for a sabbatical and plant o go to all the best gardens in the world. video coming in handy!
❤ Awesome
I love the UC Botanic gardens!! True, such an education there!!! ❤
Right off the bat, hey Kumara plicatilis! That is a gorgeous one!
Great video!

excellent content. thank you so much !
As a plant 🪴, I approve of this message.
I bet the _Calypte anna_ hummingbirds love that place. They are in the PNW all year, so I'm assuming they are down there as well.
Eu moro Goiânia, Brasil, seus vídeos são ótimos muito bom mesmo, vejo seus vídeos todos os dias ❤meu nome é Elaine tenho 48 anos
🎶 I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden 🎶
Very nice walk Joey, beautiful botanical garden tour. I've finally found a home for a Plumeria left to me by a friend that passed. She had a greenhouse, I do not. New friend is a California transplant with more room inside for a tropical. North Georgia will have a hard frost soon, have to find space for the few non-natives I grow. Hate to lose my Fuchsia but they're here for the long migrated Hummers anyway.
Good stuff as usual Joey
Speaking of Rose Garden, Berkeley has a rose 🌹 garden too. Visit Berkeley's Rose Garden if you get a chance.
Excellent video appreciation from wet and grey north UK hoping to move to Pyrenees to see what the plants are like there.....
I love gardens that have the plants labeled! Then I can take pictures of ones I like to explore more about them or so I can remember it for planting somewhere.
My gosh how gorgeous
Yes, too many botanical gardens today are set up with hardscape for weddings and events.
I would recommend the botanical garden in Montreal.
Plant centered.
It's usually because of the need to support the garden. Pretty sad how it's hard to get sufficient funding as an educational and conservation garden. Humans, amirite 😕
It has one of the greatest bonsai collections too!
You’re the man Toney Joey !
Bro got banned from the tour for knowing too much on said tour, lmao. Who else does that happen to?
Wow! what a great place!!
I cant wait to visit once my daughter starts school there next year.
YES! their aloe and encephalartos collection are pretty legit.
and yes, xeric fern paradise. I send my friend in Bisbee az photos whenever I go
I wish I knew about this botanic garden when I used to live there.
Un gran video. Siempre aprendo de tí. 🌱🌴🌵🌾🌲
I need more videos of botanic gardens
These videos keep me adding plants to my master wishlist!🙂😑
Awesome place 👏🏻

Excellent.
Glad you made it back to the stomping grounds, Ton! Late March and April is usually the best time of year for the bulbs in the South African section.
There used to two huge terscheckii cacti but one of them collapsed after a winter storm a few years back.

Have you been to the Ruth Bancroft garden in Walnut Creek? It’s got some bangers
You make botany badass!

I was just at the Santa Barbara Botanical gardens, decent, but mostly out of season right now despite our mild fall and winter.
That new oak at 28:47 is from Michoacán, which you can remember because purhepecha is dedicated to the indigenous population there of the same name!
Thanks!
Come visit the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens in Northern California!! We are small but awesome, right on the edge of the ocean cliffs with rhododendrons and a gorgeous sampling of coast headlands meadows and some Pygmy forest
Good to see you back in the bay! Hoping we get some hative videos while you're here
Ha! I meant native
Took me 2 days to realize
Just today, I was going across the bay bridge sayin' I should go there.
Boom!
There's the video.
How'd you do dat?
Nice!
All cool stuff!
some people only want to see the glory of a few angels but when you see the beatific vision of the harmony of beauty & intelligences you know that you were gimping yourself.
Awesome ❤
Hey, I'm attempting to germinate Agathis Australis seeds... and I fucking love how you end your videos!

oh I used to love that place. you know cyanescens also grows up there, too? wonderful place.
I wish there was more botanical places to go to here in Philadelphia PA. But there's not any and it's a real bummer 😢
Happy holidays Joey
💖
Sounds a lot like the Cranbourne Gardens here in Melbourne Aus. Well worth a visit if you come back down.
Do they put a cover over the plants that prefer wet summers and dry winters like andasonia?
💚
Cool put can planting too many foreign plants attract or introduce foreign pests or diseases?
Jealous of that 5 o'clock shadow. That's a good 5 o'clock shadow. 🍉✌️
We need a park that does this in Chicago!!
Climate doesn't support such but yeah
