Thanks Jim and Steph! Please continue the tours. I especially like the close up shots and then when the camera pulls away so we can see it in the surrounding environment. That helps me with scale.
Other than building gardens, there's nothing I enjoy more than wandering around well planted cities looking for cool plants...please continue these walking tour videos. Since you and Steph scouted out a lot of the coolest plants during Covid, you should go back and highlight the best of them when they are in bloom, fall color, or whenever they're at their best. I can't do much walking anymore due to health issues, so I really enjoy "tagging along".
I LOVE your neighborhood tour videos!!! Especially because I live in Angier, NC!!! 😊 You could also go out of Raleigh into Fuquay, Clayton, Holly Springs. And Angier!!!! 😅😅 Thanks Jim. 😊I thoroughly enjoy your channel!!! I ALWAYS learn something.
Definitely keep these coming! Whomever designed the landscape at NCU did a stellar job - I have never seen a college campus building complement the trees, shrubs, and ground cover like this one has!
The garden in front of Pullen Park Theatre is one of my favorite "secret gardens" in Raleigh - you would really only see it if you happened to see a show there. It is absolutely gorgeous all year!
Yes please continue these. It’s great to see how different plants are used in landscapes, and how they look when they’re mature, and even some of the pests and diseases they can face. Super informative!
I love the tour videos and seeing lots of different plants that are of a mature size. It helps me select plants that will end up at the size I want for my garden.
I love the neighborhood tours! We just had 5 Crepe Myrtles taken out this week that were planted directly beneath the power lines 🤦🏼♀️. They were full of rot and ants. I'm so happy to have them gone!!! The squirrels seem to be missing them a bit, but we are giving them some Arizona Cypress and Korean Pine as replacements (further in so they won't hit the power lines, of course!).
Love these walk videos. There are so many great plants that I wouldn't normally think about. It is helping to broaden my understanding of what works together and in spaces similar to mine. Thank you and keep them coming!
Just got home from Maui. I thought of you every time I saw an amazing plant! The Fatsia (one of my all time favorites) was gorgeous. You would LOVE the rainbow Eucalyptus. It was fun just to admire the flora there. Also, you know, happy hours and beaches...
I love the neighborhood walking tours! It's awesome to learn about different plants and get design ideas. It's also really useful when you point out potential problems in the landscape (i.e. the black sooty mold issue). Thanks so much!
Thanks Jim and Steph, yes, I would Love to see more tours of your area! I am in Maryland, Zone 7 I believe similar with your zone. Love your knowledge and experience. I am learning so much watching you. I am a plant lover but a novice gardener. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the tour video. These provide a good context that can show the mature landscape, which is difficult with a new installation. They also help to show a greater diversity of plants and their use in real world conditions.
I am really enjoy these neighborhood walks as so many have said above. I also came looking for the link you had mentioned about a neighborhood shade garden that was unfortunately removed during construction. It was when you were pointing out the plum yews.
Love the blooming rosemary, of course, and the viburnums, especially the Leather leaf. Been keeping one alive, touch and go, for a few years and finally seems to be thriving this year. I have Cranberry, Popcorn, and Mohawk viburnum as well. Love the tours and all the great info!
I wish I could walk around places with “Jim Putnam” vision 😂 I love seeing various plants in your area that I never get to see in NE PA ( but I am jealous of the Italian Cypress)
I love your exploration videos I’m curious have you guys ever done the Outer Banks? There is a beautiful garden in Manteo , NC called Elizabethan Gardens it’s small but stunning I will never forget it ❤
I love these neighborhood (and collegiate) garden tours. I know they aren't getting as many views as some of your other content, but put me in the "more, please" column.
@@alanerpington5698 Yup! Looks like treatment is pretty straight forward. Looks like a pretty nasty pest which is going to be hard to control as it spreads northwards.
That bird was NOT bird brained! Jim, do you think that I could grow an old variety of Loropetalum in zone six, expecting it to dieback, kind of like hydrangea macrophylla? Or would I not get the most out of it?
@@staciejackson7497 That would be two genuses, actually. :) But yeah, dawn redwood and bald cypress are the most familiar ones. Larches (Larix) are deciduous, too.
You're right about underselling the tea camellia flowers! Pictures will never do it justice, but if you're able to see it for your self its the view of a lifetime. In the Yunan mountains in china there are these massive 500+ year old tea camellias with fantastic contorted structure from literally centuries of monsoons and droughts alike and when they're in full bloom its like a sea of white and yellow throughout the mountains its the most of the most magical views in the world. I highly recommend everyone get to see that natural wonder at least once in their lives. My favorite spot is the hike up snow mountain. Up there you can see multiple tea camellias that are over 2,800 years old! I will say however it does get pretty crowded up there when they're in bloom. I mean china does have over a billion and a half people living there so makes sense there'd be a lot of tourists lmao
So enjoy these tours...I wish my neighborhood would embrace plants...all this county wants to do is destroy any living thing..lol moore co. Please keep up the tours nice and refreshing content!
I’m wondering, when someone says “drought tolerant” is that for that growing area? Drought tolerant in the wet east is definitely different than in the dry west. Just one of my musings today. 😊 Love the neighborhood tours!
Why has my rosemary plant never bloomed? It is planted in a hot corner, near the driveway + sidewalk corner. However it's a low corner, where water pools and stays moist far longer than the rest. I'm in St George Utah, Zone 8b. There are terrible drainage issues, low areas of collection. Half the home structure sits in a low spot. Including the rosemary plant.
I’m so sad the new owners of the referenced shade garden tour are destroying that beautiful space. I’m hopeful the lady who lived and gardened there for 40 years never knows what is happening. 😢🌸🐝
I accidentally wrote Poncirus on the screen twice. The Italian Cypress is Cupressus sempervirens. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Jim and Steph! Please continue the tours. I especially like the close up shots and then when the camera pulls away so we can see it in the surrounding environment. That helps me with scale.
Jim, I love the neighborhood walks and learning how to identify unfamiliar plants.

I’d like to see some landscape jobs you’ve done in the past that have matured.
Me too! I do love these videos showing the plant forms and grouping matured!
Great idea!
These neighborhood tours are awesome! Would definitely watch more!!!
Yes, please keep these videos coming. I love seeing the different plants in your area.
Yes please continue these. It’s great to see how different plants are used in landscapes, and how they look when they’re mature, and even some of the pests and diseases they can face. Super informative!
That cast-iron plant is beautiful. I had no idea they looked like that. I always assumed they looked like sansevieria. Thank you, Jim. This was great.
Love these garden tour videos. You all find the most interesting plants, plus you share a wealth of information. Thanks!
I love the tour videos and seeing lots of different plants that are of a mature size. It helps me select plants that will end up at the size I want for my garden.
I really enjoy all your tours. These local ones are great to see how plants grow in our area. Thanks
Had to interrupt viewing this video to rewatch that other one. What an amazing space.
Please continue the tours. It is interesting to see the different plants and garden ideas.

I like these neighourhood walk videos!
Please continue the tours! I enjoy seeing the design of the different landscapes.
Watching for a second time! Love the variety that comes with a walk. Your sharing your knowledge is appreciated! Thanks
Those Agave are incredible, way out of my zone but I appreciate seeing them.
Hi Jim, in forty years of gardening with roses, I've found that goatskin gloves are the best to deal with thorns. Live the tours
Just got home from Maui. I thought of you every time I saw an amazing plant! The Fatsia (one of my all time favorites) was gorgeous. You would LOVE the rainbow Eucalyptus. It was fun just to admire the flora there. Also, you know, happy hours and beaches...
I love this vid Neighborhood Garden Tour to see several things you’ve talked about, but I haven’t seen in real time. Thank you!
I love these types of videos. It lets me see what my plants will look like in years to come! Thanks 😊
Thanks, Jim and Steph. I love these tour videos!

Im on an acre, i planted a Dawn Redwood towards one of the corners. Love the color of the feathery foliage. ✌️
Love the walkabouts and especially this one-so many great mature shrubs and trees.
Thanks for the tour video. These provide a good context that can show the mature landscape, which is difficult with a new installation. They also help to show a greater diversity of plants and their use in real world conditions.

The neighborhood walk shows plant groupings you don’t necessarily have in your garden or even at the old house. Provides more data points to consider.
Love this "explorer" series, Jim--keep it up, please. 😊
Yes. I enjoy the neighborhood videos!
Love these tours especially since I am in zone 5 Indiana. Not much to see here snowdrops and hellebores. Snow on the way😂
I enjoy the garden tour videos.
Great series! Please continue! Those Ilex glabra or ink berry grow wild in acidic bogs and swamps in the northeast
Yes, continue the tours.
Love the tour videos!

Awesome video! Definitely enjoying these tour videos!

Thank you for the beautiful tour.
Oh crap, bark scale is what my crepe myrtle has!
Hey, knowing is half the battle! Now you know what you're up against, so you've got a shot at controlling it!
@@alanerpington5698 Yup! Looks like treatment is pretty straight forward. Looks like a pretty nasty pest which is going to be hard to control as it spreads northwards.
Yes please! I love this type of content.
I love the neighborhood tours!
YES to the walking garden tour!!!!!!! Love it !!
Really loving this new video series!! Please keep it up. Also if you could ever do a video on PNW natives that would be great (for me).
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Have 4 Dawn redwood, 2 18 years old. Other ones I have grown from seed. Gave neighbor one, gold in summer, stunning 😊❤.
Love love love these tours!
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for making this video.
Would love to see a walk with the dogs 🤗🙋🏻♀️

Enjoyed the tour...

Keep up the tour videos!
Please continue neighborhood tours! Really enjoy them.
Thanks, love this! 😊
I never knew there were deciduous conifers. Interesting! I do enjoy these garden tour videos!
Metasequoia and Taxodium are two species. ---sorry, I mean genuses😀
@@staciejackson7497 That would be two genuses, actually. :) But yeah, dawn redwood and bald cypress are the most familiar ones. Larches (Larix) are deciduous, too.

Hi Jim and Stephanie! I really enjoy these videos! Thank you!!
Love these out-and-about excursions. I do this very same thing here in Charleston, SC. Zones 8A and 8b. ("Zone cousins" to your 7b - 8a)
Can you explain difference cryptomeria and chamaecypris, needle,come, growth.. thanks love the tours.
Yes, love the neighborhood tours!🌿
Love the walk around tours
! More please!
Love this!!!
Great video!

Hi, did you post the link to the landscaping job video that you mentioned? Thanks!
I’m wondering, when someone says “drought tolerant” is that for that growing area? Drought tolerant in the wet east is definitely different than in the dry west. Just one of my musings today. 😊
Love the neighborhood tours!
Jim, what do you think of microclover here in Durham, NC? I have areas in my yard that I want to change over to clovers.
Just a reminder but "Osage orange" is Maclura pomifera.
Why has my rosemary plant never bloomed? It is planted in a hot corner, near the driveway + sidewalk corner. However it's a low corner, where water pools and stays moist far longer than the rest.
I'm in St George Utah, Zone 8b. There are terrible drainage issues, low areas of collection. Half the home structure sits in a low spot. Including the rosemary plant.

I think you accidentally mislabelled but Italian cypress is Cupressus sempervirens
What I did was put Poncirus twice unfortunately.
