Thank you guys for watching. Just to let you know, it was upper 90s temperatures and we shot this in the middle of the day. The garden is still beautiful even in harsh light.
What an exquisite garden. This guy shares the architectural and personal history so well-the sheer generosity of developing and donating this property as a public garden is overwhelming.
I’ve been to Cheekwood so many times, since I live close by. I love that you did this tour and I got to see it and understand it in a way I never have before! Thank you!
This is a beautiful place and sounds like an extraordinary amount of thought went into the design. The waterfall looks very peaceful and of course who doesn't love the train! Jim thank you for taking us along with you to these beautiful gardens.
Amazing place! One of the reasons I love your channel is the fact, that you travel to places I have never heard of. Thank you for sharing all the interesting gardens, the information from plantsmen and of course your own garden.
I hope you do a similar video tour of the Biltmore gardens someday. I’ve only been once, many years ago, but it always looks spectacular in their TV ads. 😄
Love public gardens. This one is on the list to visit. Thanks for the tour! The flag art and outdoor model trains are cool things that could be used in the home garden. It got me thinking. 🙂
We visited last Christmas for the Christmas light show on the grounds and toured the house. Beautiful and want to go back for the gardens in the spring. Loved it!
Thanks for the tour. We may get to visit the next time we go see my son in TN! I worked at Vanderbilt years ago. I did not know this garden existed. Sure wish I had. I would also love to have the perennials and bulbs that they toss! 😊
Just WOW! What a huge treat to go on this gorgeous, amazing botanical gardens tour this morning. Thank you Jim and Stephanie for taking us along. I think my favorite gardens were the Zen Japanese garden, so peaceful and beautiful! And the native naturalized sculpture gardens. I love that we can take ideas home to our backyard gardens even from such vast and amazingly curated gardens as this one is, love the inspiration.
All these virtual tours you’re doing of places like this are incredible. I know there’s nothing like seeing it live, but I’d rather YOU be standing there in the upper 90’s than me! Tremendous place. That tour guide exudes intellect. Freakin’ brilliant. Very articulate/well spoken too. Nothing against your home videos (they’re great) but I especially love when you do the tours. Keep these kind of videos coming Jim. Love it!
yet another wonderful garden tour. I am blessed to have visited Cheekwood several years ago and am longing to return. The gardens & home are absolutely fabulous, and throw in the "Art in the Garden" displays - what's not to love. I so enjoyed being able to hear all about Cheekwood's history (and future) from Peter - puts a new light on it all. Thanks, as always, for sharing with us all. And may I encourage everyone, if possible, become a member of your local public Botanical Garden - it will allow you free entrance to hundreds of public gardens all over the country !!!!
I live in Nashville and have visited this garden many times, and I'm so delighted to see you touring it! I'll enjoy this garden even more with the knowledge I now have from this video! Wonderful work!
It’s interesting to me that this garden took the work of many highly educated and skilled landscape architects, engineers, and countless others to create and maintain over decades and at the same time Rams garden was completed and maintained by one formally untrained woman in her backyard
Mine is but you’d have to have a team of passionate, determined and willing people to want to turn it into anything resembling this garden. The family isn’t motivated. You did hear that the Cheek-Woods had a huge amount of money to accomplish this? And then like so many huge estates it is too costly and too much work for one family to maintain so it is gifted to the public parks. It’s like Hearst Castle or Filoli in CA.
Holy oh my gosh that is beautiful. The concept stuff goes right by me. I was tuning out on that part but enjoyed the rest of his talk and so much beauty to enjoy.
Thank you, Jim, for bringing us on the tour of this property. Really appreciate what you do in providing wholesome informative content. I wish you continued success. Peace and love be multiplied to you. ☀
Only problem is not enough gardens like this to employ all of the gardeners that need a job! Lol If we can't all have one like this, at least we could "work" in one! Lovely integration of traditional gardening, art & philosophy. Great tour! Edit: clearly this was the inspiration for Jim Gibbs. So many similarities!
Actually, Jim Gibbs was inspired by European gardens - and he has built a fabulous garden of his own - and is constantly improving and adding to it each and every year. It is another great garden to visit !!!
I have loved every one of these tours!! Thank you for taking us places that many of us would never get to go! Have you ever been to the Dallas Botanical Garden? The Fort Worth Botanical Garden? They are both fantastic and I think you would enjoy them. (110* in the summer might not be the best time..... ;) )
Wow! What an amazing place! Thank you, Jim, for taking us along with you when you visit places like Cheekwood, other public gardens, and the amazing plant masters as well. I learn so much!
Beautiful gardens and home! Nice to see people visiting and enjoying it while you are filming! Maybe because it's in the east with similar climate and soil, and possibly landscape architects of the time, it reminds me a lot of Longwood Gardens. Possibly Winterthur although I haven't actually seen those gardens, toured the home as part of home economics class in 7th grade almost 60 years ago! 😉 Definitely Mt. Cuba near Hockessin, Delaware! All are gorgeous and well worth the entrance fee and a full day or several shorter visits to see everything! Thank you for sharing! 👍💖😃
Really lovely place. I, too, was thinking the name was kind of goofy until Peter explained the origin of it; now I find it endearing. Thanks for bringing this beautiful place to our attention. 💚
Thank you guys for watching. Just to let you know, it was upper 90s temperatures and we shot this in the middle of the day. The garden is still beautiful even in harsh light.
I’ve wanted to visit TN for the music, but now I will come for the gardens, too!
Thanks for doing it Jim and Stephany.
I visited this in the late 1980s and it's even more beautiful than I remember.

Exceptional long standing daffodil show each year too!
Fun place with rich history. It is on my list!
Thank you Jim for taking us on this beautiful garden tour !!!
I hope you do a similar video tour of the Biltmore gardens someday. I’ve only been once, many years ago, but it always looks spectacular in their TV ads. 😄
Well now I want a train in my yard! Beautiful gardens and I don't think I ever would have known about this place if not for your video!
Beautiful gardens. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Beautiful! Thank you for this wonderful tour. I hope to visit personally.
Thanks for the tour.
A beautiful place😍 thank you 😊
Growing up here and visiting often has always brought such good memories to mind! Thank you for sharing Cheekwood is one of a kind!
Fascinating and beautiful, so glad you shared this garden.

We visited last Christmas for the Christmas light show on the grounds and toured the house. Beautiful and want to go back for the gardens in the spring. Loved it!
I thought the flags were towels on a clothesline. Hahahaha.
SPECTACULAR x 🌺🌸💮🙏😇🇦🇺🕊️🌺🌷

As a Nashvillian am grateful for you shining a light on Cheekwood. I've been there several times but learned a lot from the interview. Thank you!
I like the “conversation” between the sculptural art and the landscape in this garden - THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! 👍😃👍🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🙌🙌
Love those mornings when I travel across the world to beautiful gardens with you 😊 Such a great channel!!! Thank you for sharing this with us 🌱
Thank you for a beautiful and informative video! Looks like a beautiful and magical place.
I lived in Nashville for a number of years always loved spending time at cheekwood. Thank you for the memories
It’s interesting to me that this garden took the work of many highly educated and skilled landscape architects, engineers, and countless others to create and maintain over decades and at the same time Rams garden was completed and maintained by one formally untrained woman in her backyard
Wow ! What an amazing tour. Thank you all!
I wish my backyard was this size

Thank you for sharing. I live near Cheekwood and plan to take my niece who is visiting from California. It is truly awesome!
Thank you for this incredible tour what an amazing garden. I've added it to my bucket list of must see gardens. 😀
Cheekwood is beautiful. I had the chance to visit there back in 2019. Lots of beautiful plants, also a great art gallery and sculpture garden.
So great to meet Cheekwood's head gardener! I love Cheekwood, and since a sister and brother live in Nashville I get there regularly.
Holy oh my gosh that is beautiful. The concept stuff goes right by me. I was tuning out on that part but enjoyed the rest of his talk and so much beauty to enjoy.

I enjoy more when Jim is doing the presentations. Beautiful gardens though. 👍

Traveling from central California is cost prohibitive at this point, but what a beautiful tour. Thank you
Wow surprise to see this garden on video. I visited Nashville a few months back and spent a day at the Cheekwood Estate. Thanks
Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful garden with us!
What a fabulous place - gardens and house. Thanks for showing this video. 👍
Wow just incredible spaces and now gives an excuse to get back to the Nashville area!
Thank you for visiting Cheekwood. We live not far form the place and looooove it.
Can anyone tell me what is the name of the tall (almost black) grass at the time stamp 17:02? Its Beautiful and I want it!!!
Maxwell just like the beautiful gardens…good to the last drop!
Beautiful gardens! Great video. Thank you both!
Another great tour of amazing American garden. I hope you can go back in spring!
i live close by and last i visited cheekwood was not looking to hot, always scattered plants with lots of invasives
Beautiful. My last name is Cheek. Maybe distant relative.
Thank you for this tour! I live in TN and this place is for sure on our list of places to visit
This was rad. Please go to more botanical gardens Jim!
Wow! What an amazing place! Thank you, Jim, for taking us along with you when you visit places like Cheekwood, other public gardens, and the amazing plant masters as well. I learn so much!

What a treasure. Thanks for showing.
Enjoyed your tour of Cheekwood. It is a Nashville phenomenon. One we here in Middle Tennessee enjoy in a regular basis. Great job of showing it off.
Really lovely place. I, too, was thinking the name was kind of goofy until Peter explained the origin of it; now I find it endearing. Thanks for bringing this beautiful place to our attention. 💚
loved this tour and will definately be planning a future visit. Thank you for introducing me to this treasure.
Beautiful thanks for sharing
Awesome tour. Great mix of plants and hardscaping.
have you done the inside of the house
Makes me want to go back to Nashville again. Thanks Jim
