What a great feature of the Garden! I love Deciduous holly (Ilex decidua) for the bright red berries, and I love watching cardinals, mockingbirds, and cedar waxwings snack on the berries all winter long!
I was an intern at the NCBG and it is a truly special place. Strolling through habitat gardens is like adventuring through every natural habitat and ecosystem NC has to offer all in the span of a nice walk. Sandhills habitat garden was my favorite because of the sheer diversity
Have loved chasmanthium since I first saw it in it's natural spot, my lovely woods by the creek. Sadly, I no longer have that beautiful acre & development upstream has severely impacted the creek which was a pristine, year-round flow off Sawnee mountain in Forsyth county Georgia. It was my introduction to serious study of native plants. Am currently working on a landscape one county north, different terrain, some different natives. Lots of Mountain Laurel along our dirt road & many grasses & other plants too. I've been moving what I can, many beautiful specimens get mowed/sprayed out by the county & power line crews. They can ALL come live in my yard! Dug up a native white baptisia yesterday, hope it lives! Hope to create a small wetland area in the future, miss my pitcher plants. Saving up for a native azalea & a few other specimens as I find them. 15 years ago, I was the perennial manager at an upscale garden center, the only one that stocked & sold native plants. The market was limited then, hope to see it grow. Thanks Jim & Brie for showcasing the natives, they're truly plants that SOLVE landscape issues instead of creating new problems!
Geum canadense (white avens) is a gorgeous winter groundcover. It just popped up one year and now I have a big patch. And I have fallen in love with the evergreen red bay and swamp bay, down here on the coastal plain.
Here in Northern New England, we particularly like our "moonglow" sweetbay magnolias. What is particularly lovely about these trees is that they are semi-evergreen and the leaves truly glow at dusk due to the silvery undersides of their leaves...
This is outstanding! I would love to see this great place in person. I love the carnivorous garden and of course the Sabal minor. I have a few Sabal minors all the way up here in the Philly area all year round!
I think that my favorite winter interest natives (from this video) have to be the Sabal palms, Possumhaw, and some of those evergreen dryopteris (?) ferns, although the native rhodies are awesome too! You both are hilarious!
Excellent informational video. I love the new series with the tours. It seems like every NC university has its own garden or arboretum. I would have to say my favorite Texas Native is the Possumhaw Holly with red/orange berries, but that gold variety you showed was spectacular.
Longleaf pine! Great to see it get some love. Honestly y'all should do a longer segment on America's forgotten special tree. It's not sexy, but it's essential for native wildlife to prosper.
It is so beautiful there! Thank you so much for sharing this! I really like being able to see stuff in mass and full grown!! I have a lot of space to fill and this helps me dream!!!
fun video.I have just relocated from south florida and was curious about N Carolina plants as I have been in the lawn landscape business there over 20 yrs.im so used to magnificent color .maybe summer video may help.
Love all the plants you guys mentioned. Also really love woodland stonecrop (sedum ternatum) which is native to you guys as well as up here in MD. Looks amazing and even tolerates the snow!
We are planning on underplanting our hosta with sedum ternatum in the woodland space we are developing in 2021. What I particularly like about this stonecrop is that it changes into a yellow, peachy, pink color in cooler temperatures to brighten up the landscape in the winter and early spring...
Favorite, not necessarily for winter interest, but it doesn’t go dormant is Pachysandra procumbens (I have sea oats, and fellow gardeners warn that it’s very invasive, but between the shade and large dog and kids, it seems to be under control)

Really the whole state of North Carolina was historically defined by fire. Great video
I like the incorporation of the staff in the video. Nice to see outdoor carnivorous plantings. Plus the energy between you both and bloopers 👍
Oh! Traveling through South GA as a kid I would see acres of pines burned. NOW I finally know
Thanks Jim and Brie!

Love garden tours.
Love love love your videos! Keep up the great work. PS - love the bloopers!!
Me too! Those bloopers make me laugh! And remind everyone that we are not actors 🤣
Looks like so much fun!

We’re turning a large portion of our unused field into a meadow this year and I’m adding little bluestem. Can’t wait for it to grow 🌱

Would like to see in the Spring time
We plan to return to show this garden each season through out the year.
Good videos
Great job y'all! Looking forward to seeing more 🙂
Would love to see this garden in spring and summer.

We are. Thanks for watching 😊

@@emmalavenham that will be lovely! I’ve been plopping it everywhere, I have a ton of woodland space and it’s such a neat plant!

Please tell us the name of that beautiful palm behind Jim’s shoulder at the .05 mark.
Rhapidophyllum hystrix
I really wish you would have spent some more time on Sabal Minor.
I can honestly say that winter gardens look messy and sad to me. I am ready for spring and summer tours of these same areas.
omg 🥱😴
