I am so excited for you to see this garden tour! I had the privilege of walking alongside one of my good friends Bruce Duncan as he shared his gardening wisdom.
Whether you are a beginner or have been gardening for years I believe you will get a lot of value from watching this video. With that said, sit back, relax and enjoy one of the prettiest gardens I have ever laid eyes on!
Hi!
My name is Justin and I have my managed my family's business (S&K Greenhouse) for the last 10 years! It is a local garden center in Shelby, NC that my family started around 25 years ago.
We have a strong desire to discuss and teach gardening to the online community and welcome anyone who wants to learn. Though we have been involved in the plant world for decades we have found that there is always something to learn when it comes to gardening.
Whether you are a master gardener or just starting out this channel is for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos!
Hey everybody! I started a raised garden bed company, Gro-Rite! My first product is a beautiful raised garden bed you can assemble in 10 minutes or less. Claim your bed before they are gone - pre-orders are piling up fast and quantities are limited. -> groritegarden.com/launch
I could have watched another hour, I know I’ll watch it at least once more to make notes of the conifer names. Please come back again in the winter and a follow up every year or in two years to see the growth would certainly be watched.
It’s just so impressive, the thoughtful choice of conifers, the locations and companion plants, the concepts in the vegetable gardens, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen and Bruce knows the names of everything. To plan a landscape from scratch is a challenge, he is obviously very good at this. His neighbours must be appreciative of the borrowed view, i certainly would be.
Bette, you're very nice. Thank you. God created us all different but I'm not much of a planner. I kinda know in my head what I want and go with it. My gardens start small and then evolve around that. Flying by the seat of my pants in other words. In the future Justin plans to list the plant names on the screen as we talk about them. Appreciate you watching.
@Bruce Duncan you have a wonderful property and your use and knowledge of such a wide variety of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals is incredible. My wife and I discovered @S&K Greenhouse on RUclips about a year ago and have been making the trip from Concord, NC to see Justin and Alex ever since. They are awesome people and are so helpful and knowledgeable. I will definitely have to ask them about some of the amazing plants featured in your landscape on our next visit.
This is amazing! I’m totally inspired. I’m drying to win yard of the month.. but I’m outside Houston
This is hands down the BEST gardening video I've ever watched. He's so down to earth and so knowledgeable. I learned a lot, reaffirmed a lot of things I thought, and got great ideas too. Thanks so much for doing this video. I'm saving this video for reference later.
Shannon, I appreciate the kind words so much. You should see more of us in the future.

Gentlemen, I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and was definitley inspired by all the beautiful gardens. Thank you for the ton of valuable information you provided in this video! Moreover, the friendship and professionalism you both have for each other is evident. Looking forward to y'alls next collaboration!
Yes, l loved the tour. I will put. your advice into my Texas garden. Thank you
What a treat, this was so full of information and I love the way the different gardens and garden rooms are structured, it is all so pleasing on the eye. Yes, please, a fall/winter tour!
I absolutely loved this tour and detailed info concerning so many things in his garden. What a lovely and eclectic garden he has, just amazing!!! Would love to see a winter and fall garden tour. I'm saving this video for future reference. What a treat!!!!
Thank you Alicia. Justin plans to be back in the Fall so stay tuned.
Yes, love the tour. Especially, please do more on the veggie garden. I love to here all the details on the plants there. My first time seeing tomatoes that can grow anytime throughout the year.
❤certainly a dream garden! Gorgeous
Bruce, your lanscape & vegetable gardens are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I have never seen a vegetable garden that was as neat & pretty as yours. The enclosure is awesome. The plants you've used on your property are breathtaking. I have not enjoyed a gardening video as much as I have enjoyed this one!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great Job!!💯%🅰️+✔ Thank you sooo much for sharing & YES, I want to see your place in the winter!🤗♥️👍🏼👋🏼 God bless you!🙏🏼🌻💛
Thank you Sunny Day. The Lord has blessed me to enjoy this. My grandparents were very clean gardeners. My grandfather was known in the rural town I grew up in has having the cleanest gardens. His rows were straight and not a weed in sight. So I must have gotten that from him. Although he farmed the traditional way. Tractor and plow. My raised beds and no dig methods might get a curious look from him today. Ha!
@@bruceduncan1792 He would be soooo proud & blessed to see it
just like the rest of us.😁👋🏼🐞🌺🌱🌲🌳

@bruceduncan1792 I love your garden. Every section is breathtaking.
What kind of wood you're using on your vegetables beds?
Huge shout out to your cameraman! Good job and hats off to the tour and valued information, was nice to see the guest speak and you were courteous not to interrupt, well done!🙂 It's like we're on safari with that hat you be wearing! Love it. Keep up the good work! 🌱🌲🍅
Thank you Lily! We really appreciate you tuning in! This was a really fun tour. Gotta rock the safari cap! 😁
Hey Lily! I wanted to comment on my personal account and say thank you, that comment means the absolute world to me. I put some much time and effort and actually lost a couple nights sleep over filming bc I was worried about my shots and camera work. You’re truly a blessing and I really wanted to thank you
@@RealALSK Thank you. Your reply made me smile...and you're welcome. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Justin brings the entertainment, but you bring/brought, it all together! We are our worst critics and I encourage you to go at it and leave worry behind...it does not serve one well...I love this channel...the footage brings me back every time I get the notification...that says something in a world full of people on YT. You guys are doing great, seriously. Thanks again for the comment and I am tickled it made your day! Well deserved most certainly! 🌹
I also thank you Lilly. Alex and Justin do such a great work putting these video's together. Just glad I could be a small part of it.
@@bruceduncan1792 give yourself credit Bruceski! This is all you man! This is your time, your garden deserves to be shown to everyone this is you man! This is only the beginning with you man
Yes! Please more tours of this amazing landscape! So much great information and inspiration. Would love to see all 4 seasons!
What a wonderful tour! Can't wait to see everything in the wintertime.
Thank you for watching! We can't wait either! 😃
Thanks Mel. Are you a Nole? I love it when FSU comes to Clemson. We travel down there this year.
This has to be my favorite garden tour! This is exactly what I want for my garden with the conifer mix. And the NC accents make me miss home. Thanks guys! 🌲
God bless you Stephanie. Sorry you're no longer in the Carolina's. I live in a town like Mayberry. All we're missing is Sheriff Taylor and Deputy Fife. Ha! Appreciate your kind words. I gotta know, what style of BBQ? Ha! And.........do you eat livermush?
@@bruceduncan1792 lol! The bbq has to be the spicy vinegar based sauce and smoked on those big barrel smokers 😆. I don’t think I have tried the liver mush, but I did eat a lot of fatback at my grandparents house as a child.
Wow what a stunning work! Please do more seasons of Bruce’s yard and if possible, put the names of those gorgeous conifers up alongside the picture. That way one can screenshot for shopping! Oh and thank you Alex and Justin
Thanks Chaser for the suggestion. Justin and I discussed this and agree. You can look forward to his future video's adding that feature.
I want to know the names too!!!
@@Dwallace-80 me too
Wow, that was such a fun and happy garden tour! Bruce is such a delightful gardener. He is a jack of all gardening trades and a master of all of them, too! Justin, you are so respectful and courteous without interrupting. You and Bruce must have had so much fun working together! I didn't want the interview to end, and I do hope you will keep returning to Bruce's gardens with each change of seasons! Linda
Thank y’all! We definitely plan on going back!
This was a fantastic tour. I love y’all’s knowledge and friendliness. True NC spirit right there, and one of the reasons why I love living here. Greetings from the coast. 👋
Oh my goodness!! I was also like a kid in a candy store touring around with you and Bruce!! Best garden tour I have ever seen.
Going to see if you have Bruce’s garden tour in the winter? Love it!! 😍😍
Thank you for an absolutely awesome tour! Love from Canada ❤🇨🇦
Best hour I've spent in quite a while. My good sir, you are, in my opinion, a master grower and an unsung landscape designer of the highest caliber. I surmise that yours are the types of spaces people have in mind when they envision a lived-in garden experience. Thanks for sharing; this was very informative and incredibly motivating.
Best, via Texas
Gerald, I appreciate your remarks so much. Thank you. My Tigers in Clemson got a really good QB out of Texas. He seems like he'll be a star soon.
Love this! What a world of knowledge you two are. I wish my yard looked just a fraction of this.😍 I got rid of an above ground pool and now have this big hole, I don't even know how to start to fix that...
This is my third time watching the tour of Bruce's property and I'm still noticing things I overlooked the last time. I'm trying to soak up every little drop of knowledge he dropped on us so I can apply it in my landscape this fall. I sure would be interested to see what Bruce's beds look like if y'all got a little snow up there in the Carolinas.
Thanks E. Yes, we do get snow some. two maybe three times. It usually disappears within a week. Once in a while we get a dumping of two feet or so and it may stick around longer. Winters in the Western Carolina foothills can go from sunny and high's in the 60's for a few days and then temps not getting out of the 20's a few days. And back and forth like that all season. By that time my beds will have cabbage, collards, carrots, kale, chard, and other cool weather crops. And our snows are usually not enough to kill them. We have more problems with ice and freezing rain than snow.
@@bruceduncan1792 Thanks for sharing your awesome garden! Will you consider uploading videos of your garden and tips/tricks to your RUclips channel? I would love to see more content from you
Beautiful garden. This gentleman has convinced me to incorporate more conifers into my border garden. They are absolutely gorgeous. I love the color contrast the blue, green and yellow create.
Thank you Clare. Oh yes, foliage color and contrast bring as much punch into the garden as do flowers. In my opinion. And especially in seasons when flowering is more rare.
Wow, what an amazing garden tour! It's so fun to hear people being just as excited about plants as I am. 🎉
PLEASE go back this winter!! I loved his extraordinary & superb garden and explanations of everything! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, thank you so much! I could have watched this all day.
Thank you Rachel. You are too kind. We will be back fall and winter.
I just loved this. I'm struggling with ground cover and shade and there were some great idea's from Bruce. I'd love to see this garden in winter. Inspirational. Thank you both.
Marion, so glad we helped. Thanks for watching.
The best gardening videos on YT. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this one and got a lot of inspiration for my own garden, not to mention a whole slew of fantastic tips. Keep doing these videos - they’re a very welcome bit of sanity in an otherwise insane world.
You would certainly enjoy watching Garden Answer here on RUclips. Laura and her husband are amazing. They have a video everyday. Educational, creative, with three million subscribers.
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing! Please, do come back in the winter and let us learn how to landscape for winter interest:)
Thanks Sophie. Yes! We plan to be back Fall and Winter. Hope I didn't oversell the Winter. My conifers that change color need really cold weather. Here in the Foothills of Western Carolina our winters vary from year to year. Last year was mild and I didn't get the color I expected from some of these plants but we will see what 22-23 brings.
It was an absolute delight to come across Justin's video on SK Greenhouse, showcasing the exquisite garden that Bruce has cultivated.
The presentation was nothing short of outstanding, capturing the essence of a garden that rivals the beauty of the renowned Butchart Gardens.
Bruce's stunning creation features remarkable layering, a vibrant color palette, and enchanting foliage that contribute to a truly four-season garden experience. I found this visual journey to be an invaluable source of knowledge, surpassing any horticultural book I've come across in terms of landscape design insights.
Bruce, your exceptional talent and passion for gardening are clearly evident, and your garden serves as a profound inspiration to us all. I will be incorporating Pines into my garden. Thank you for sharing .
Gosh, I'm blushing. Thank you so much for the kind words. I do love it. And my wife says I'm a work-a-holic so I guess that combination works.
Yes, PLEASE come back in the winter and even more often. I love listening to Bruce. Learned so much and enjoyed this video soooooo much. Thank you, thank you. Yes, and more of any garden tours... LOVE it and so very helpful. love, hugs, and prayers to you and all.
Thank you Barbara. You words were soooooo encouraging.
Oh for the love of Gardening!! Your landscaping is out of this world! Excellent presentation to all of you in the making of the video. Thank you so much for the education on conifers, my wish list grew greatly! Zone 4 Gardener!
Can’t wait to see the Winter video😊
Wow, Zone 4. That has to be challenging. Thanks for your kind words Elaine.
BEAUTIFUL!!! Please come back in the winter Justin and Alex! I would love for my garden to look even a fraction as good as yours Bruce! Thank you so much for sharing your AMAZING garden with us. I am truly inspired.
What a inspirational tour. The tips shared with such pride and enthusiasm have built my confidence and surely saved me from making errors in planting and placement of conifers in my own gardens. Thank you for the best garden tour yet and I too look forward to seeing your creative living art show in it’s winter glory. 😊🥾🥾
Thank you Gloria. Don't worry about errors. You will always have them. Like weeds. But finding ways to lesson their impact is good. I lose plants sometimes but I'm not afraid to try different things. It's definitely a learning curve. And rewarding as well.
This gentleman should have his own RUclips channel. Very informative, well spoken
S&K Greenhouse, I'm completely blown away by the beauty of Bruce's less than 3-year-old gardens and landscape! It's absolutely breathtaking! Please go back in the fall, early winter, and spring if Bruce is willing, to give us additional tours of his gorgeous landscape. I would love to see how it transitions and changes throughout the year.
Bruce, I have a question, I'm curious about the shorter leaning fence, that is surrounding the outside of your vegetable garden. What is the purpose of the short fence? I will definitely rewatch this video, so I can pause it to write down plant names, then I can ask Google for the hardiness zones. I'm in zone 5a, so I'm guessing that quite a few of these shrubs and trees won't survive in my area, but the overall beauty of your landscape is truly amazing! ~Margie🤗💐🐝🦋
Miss Thumbelina, you are very observant. I was having a problem with a ground hog climbing in and eating my plants. Believe it or not my oncologist and also a gardening friend, suggested it as he was having the same issue. Its the same concept as a renaissance fence, two fences with a walking space between. Except I leaned mine against the main fence, and, voila, it worked. Don't know the mind of a critter but it discouraged him. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful! Thank you, Bruce, for showing us your garden. Excellent use of color and texture. Not many people understand the importance of having that in a garden, but you certainly do. Loved your vegetable garden and I'll be using your technique shown at the end of the video of gardening along a fence in a strip. I'd love to see more garden tours and would especially love to revisit this one in Winter. Thanks very much! ~ Lisa
Thank you Lisa. We will be back so keep your eye's peeled. Yes, color from foliage and texture add more than most realize.
Love garden tours.. please produce more! And come back for the winter season too.
Thank you very much for explaining why my Mother always planted marigolds in our veggie gardens, I always wondered why. I do however plant flowers with my veggies but never liked marigolds, until now. What an absolutely GORGEOUS landscape and gardens Bruce has cultivated! AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. Do you have any bulbs/flower bulbs planted??
YES - please please return during the winter for a conifer experience.
SLOMo, your words were gracious. Thank you!! Marigolds are not my favorite although I like all flowers. But I like them in the vegetable garden. As far as bulbs, what I have planted usually comes up in early Spring and then disappears. Crocus, Daffodils, Snow bells, tulips, etc. I have grown Gladiola's in the past but just don't anymore. They're bloom season is short and they're prone to droop and hang and just look kinda messy. Just my opinion. We plan to be back Fall and Winter.
Wow! If only my garden centers had those conifers. If you go to universal islands of adventure at the Harry Potter world they also did a great job putting conifers together. It inspired me to do that one day.
Oh such lovely plants and trees. Can you do more garden tours like these? My backyard is bare and I’ve binged your videos looking for tips and ideas.
I totally love ❤️ your garden and your knowledge of the conifers and other plants. You give lots of useful tips . Thank you for sharing your garden with viewers .
Thank you Vickie. We hope to be back with more soon.
This one of the best garden tours I have seen in a long time. Great job!
What a beautiful yard. You can tell where his passion lays!!
Looking forward for a wintertime tour. Nice job guys!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Melissa. In this part of the country winter weather varies greatly from year to year. It takes really cold air to change some of my trees. we will see what this winter brings.
Me too!!!
В этом саду, который довелось мне увидеть, всё располагает к спокойному отдыху - роскошные, свободно растущие хвойные, лаконичные небольшие цветники.
Старинный философ Сюнь Куан говорил: " Если думаешь на год вперёд - высевай семена, если на тысячелетия - сажай деревья." Эта мудрая мысль посетила Вас!
Спасибо Вам!
Всё так красиво!
Украинка!
привіт! Дуже дякую за перегляд! привіт від S&K! Сподіваюся побачити вас знову ❤️
I really enjoyed this tour. Bruce your garden is beautiful and you have great advice. I would love to see a winter tour.
Please go back next winter and let us see his gardens in winter!!!! 😀
I think this is my favorite garden tour on RUclips. I've watched it so many times
❤
He’s a hoot. Love you two hanging out together talking plants! 🌱
Please go back this Winter. I’d like to see the colors of some of the conifers. Great video!
Thank you. hopefully we will get enough cold air to make these plants more vibrant. Here in western NC our winters can be very mild sometimes.
Wonderful tour, so inspiring! Shout out from another 7B gardener, all the way up in Philly! 🥨
Hey Emily! That's awesome. Thanks for the shout. Would like to visit up there some time!
What an inspiration!! Absolutely loved it! Please give a tour in each season!!!
Thank you Lana. Yes, we will be back
Oh my goodness, blew my mind. Love seeing this type of gardening, what possibilities ,I want one of everything when I garden. Love love love this presentation,please more! Pat
Wow, this was an amazing tour! I sincerely hope you return this coming winter…I’m in need of winter ideas, plus I just want to see these beautiful conifers shine in the cold, dreary months! Thank you for bringing us along; I am going to watch this again with my garden notebook. ✍️ 🌿
Well thank you Yvonne. We do plan to be back fall and winter. Here in the foothills of western NC sometimes we get very mild winters. And conifers need really cold air to change hues but none the less, I think they improve the winter landscape even without much change. We will see what this winter brings here. Thanks again for your kind comments and watching.
Excellent video. So much knowledge between the two of you. Please do other videos at different seasons. Thank you!
Definitely want a winter tour!! Bruce you need your own RUclips channel!! What you've accomplished in such a short time is amazing!!!
I knew Bruce was special during the video and then at the end we learned he taught horticulture in the past which just confirmed what a wealth of knowledge he possesses. I just cleared a wooded area back and side of my house, so now have a clean slate. I really need ideas and want evergreens but just not sure which ones. This really helped me learn varieties I might want. Bruce, do you do consults? I would love to follow this garden through the seasons! Where is S&K?
We are located in Shelby North Carolina! About 60 miles west of Charlotte!
Definitely do a winter video! Great job, Bruce & thanks to S& K for the video.
Thanks Sharon, we will be back in fall and winter for sure.
One of the best gardening videos I've seen in a long time. Beautiful gardens! Video was at a nice enjoyable pace.
Beautiful garden!! Thanks for all the info..
Thanks for tuning in! 😀
Appreciate the kind words Erwin.
I loved this!!! I was so impressed with the beauty of your vegetable garden. I was so inspired. Thank you for taking the time to do this tour. And yes, I would love to see it again in the winter. Learned a lot!!
I absolutely delighted over everything Bruce's yard had to offer. I loved, loved, LOVED his use of color all around. I wish we could have all the different types of conifers here on planet Venus. Yes, that's Venus, Texas. And it's hotter and drier than H/++ ! And we are cursed with the thickest, most hideous clay. 😫 Thank you Bruce and S&K Greenhouse for the beautiful tour!
Thank you Christi, and believe it or not, your part of texas "ain't" much different than here in nc. We have a lot of clay, heat and humidity. But with careful soil prep, planning and plant selection, it can be done. God bless!!
Bruce, my husband and I are inspired by your landscape with conifers! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for letting us see your gardens and for sharing your wealth of knowledge! You guys make such a great team - how about a monthly check in video with Bruce? Love him! Go 🐅 !
Ms Cherieoerting, so glad you found inspiration from our tour and your kind words are much appreciated, Yes!! GO TIGERS
An amazingly beautiful garden space. A love of conifers is evident but the variety of plants here is just so impressive. And, the vitality of the plants is a testimonial to your compost and soil applications. I am in zone 7 in Virginia so I understand perfectly clay soil and humidity, a deadly combination. A gorgeous example of a committed gardener, and a knowledgeable man who has great taste.
Hi Maureen, thanks for the kind words. Julie and I took a few days recently and car toured VA via the Parkway. She's a teacher and off for the summer. We loved it. Good Luck with the clay and humidity. HA! I feel your pain.
@@bruceduncan1792 glad you got to see a most beautiful part of Virginia. I too am a teacher, retired now for a few years, and am enjoying the time I have to devote to my garden. You have created a beautiful space and something to be very proud of.
My husband and I enjoyed this so much! Come back this winter…please and thank you!
Aside from the beautiful plant choices, what I love about this landscape are the open spaces that allow the plants to be highlighted without distraction. Some people pack in plants into every space, and in my opinion, this is a far more striking approach. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous garden with us!🌱🌲🌲🌳🌸
Thank you Pleasant Prickles. I agree. I want my landscaping full but not crowded. I appreciate the kind words.
Agree!! This is one of the best garden tours I’ve seen. Love the accents too!
Absolutely stunning❣️🌱🌲🌲🌲 How does he keep the pine mulch so neat? Everything is gorgeous. Love the tour🙌💃🏻
Hands-down, BEST garden tour video ever! Love all your choices, and I learned so much. Yes, please, to the winter tour. My favorite thing to do in winter is garden-planning for spring. Many thanks for sharing all your combined expertise & wisdom!
🥹
By far this is THE BEST garden tour video I have ever seen in decades of video watching. Interesting, informative and entertaining. High quality content!
Oh wow that’s really sweet, as the camera man I and honestly we all really appreciate that ❤
Would love more garden tours where the individual plants are identified! Very informative and enjoyable.
Thanks sharon. Yes!! next video's will have names and info on screen.
Love it - i moved from NW to middle TN so great to see what you were able to do with conifers and creating so much color and variation - I am dying to turn our bland landscaping around and got some great ideas as new to this zone and lots to learn!
I loved this garden tour so much! So impressive! Would love to see a winter version of this garden!😊
This was spectacular! Now I know I need to bring dirt in before I go trying to plant cedars and cypress and other rare conifers in my 8b Louisiana clay soil. Definitely head on back for the show in the fall and winter!! I just subbed.
Thank you E Underwood. Wow. I love Cajun Country. It reminds me much of the low country in SC where I'm originally from. I would think Cypress and Cedar trees would do ok down there unless your soil stays wet. Then building it up and improving drainage would help. I would imagine spruce trees would struggle regardless of what you do. Based on what others in this industry have told me. Maybe you can find a local nursery with conifer knowledge that might recommend varieties for your area? Consider some Junipers too. There are varieties today that our grandparents never dreamed of. I've seen a few junipers offered now that look similar to spruces. Do you follow LSU football? what's up with hiring Brian Kelly. He's a good coach but just doesn't seem like the right fit. I guess we'll soon find out?
Wow! Bruce's garden is amazing! I didn't realize I was missing conifers in my garden until now. Everything is so gorgeous!! 😊 If Bruce had a RUclips channel, I would definitely watch. He explains everything so well!
MS Maddox, you're way too kind. I appreciate it. Yes, I think conifers provide soooooo much more to the landscape.
@@bruceduncan1792 Bruce, you are an absolute gardening savant with a wealth of knowledge. We have a dream of implementing a mixed conifer border along our property line in Washington state (zone 8).. How would you advise we go about it? We are looking into tree nurseries who sell/plant the trees but the majority around us have a limited selection and deal mostly in "privacy trees". Should we just go to nurseries that offer a wider selection and build it ourselves?
Hi Bruce and Justin, like so many others commenting here this is a fantastic video-from the content, to commentary to the videography-A++.
I am reaching out with a specific question, as a fellow 7b gardener/Raleigh, building planting beds at this time. I believe I missed identification of the taller blue conifer, far right of screen at
54:09. It appears to be to the right of the front porch steps. I would love to know b/c I just sourced a Hortsman blue atlas and curious how similar they may be.
{would love to see a winter tour, as well}
Thank you!
Natalie
Natalie, thank you for the nice words. Julie and I have a daughter/son in law in the Holly Springs area. That tree is a columnar blue spruce. (Picea Pungens Fastigiata) It is similar to your Hortsman as it grows narrow and gets about 10 ft tall. Your cedar grows about the same, although it might have a little broader circumference. They are both good trees for tight spaces near the house. The Atlantic Cedar will do better in the Raleigh area compared to my spruce. Two things. Give it good drainage. If your soil is heavy, lots of clay, dig and do away with a good portion and replace with a lighter soil mix. After planting if any foliage is touching the ground, remove it. Atlantic cedars are prone to fungus problems. Your humid air breeds many soil funguses which can be picked up if foliage is touching the ground. and place a mulch of needles or bark underneath to keep soil from splashing up during rainy spells.
Loved this tour and can't wait for the winter tour! Beautiful color, texture and dimension in his yard.
Thank you so much. We should be back for Fall and another one in the Winter.
Years ago, in the 90’s, I used to watch a program called a Gardeners Diary. I was sad when it went off. I thoroughly enjoyed this program.
That was an amazing tour with a lot of good information. Looking forward to a winter tour. Loved it!
Thanks Fredi. Hope I didn't oversell my winter landscape but its getting there. The winters in the foothills of Western NC vary greatly from year to year. My conifers that change color depend on colder temperatures. Some years the change is dramatic and other years not much. We will see what 22-23 brings.
Just found your channel and I love it. Before watching this I thought of conifers as pines that brown out and die off and I would not want such plants/trees. Bruce has changed my mind and really made me curious as to all the varieties and colors. I appreciate the use of latin terms- very educational. Thank you both.
Oh my goodness!! I have been looking for a good conifer video and this was the best so far!! I love it❤️❤️❤️. I am so thrilled with the amount of names and information that you gave in this tour. Awesome job!!! Please tell this gentleman thank you, thank you, thank you!!!🥰❤️
Thank you RPH. Much appreciated. In the future Justin plans to list the names on the screen.
@@bruceduncan1792 when do we get to see your garden again!!??? It was so inspiring and soothing to see it. I have been trying to achieve what you have successfully done with the conifers etc. I am in zone 6B…. So I am worried about the cedrus not being hardy enough. And the spruces may not can handle our high humidity and heat in the summer. Only pines are a sure bet around here. I wonder how the Japanese white pine would do? I love ALL your trees ❤️
Yes, yes , yes come back in the winter!!! His whole property is amazingly beautiful I love 💕 the fenced in veggies 🥕 omg is the flooring in there just the vinyl ??
Thank you Laura. We will be back fall and winter. The flooring in the vegetable garden is a woven fabric made of organic materials. It allows water and air to flow thru into the ground. And keep weeds out. Its a little costly so I don't use it everywhere. It's not plastic for sure. Your local garden center should be able to get some at request. I think I paid around $350 for a roll which is about 12ft wide and 200ft long.
Such a beautiful magnificent garden! Please give another tour during fall. Enjoyed the tour and learned lot! Best wishes!
Thanks J R. Yes, we plan to be back fall and winter.
I like your videos 👍👍👍
I am blown away by this yard. The colors, the neatness, the beauty is spectacular. I have never seen a vegetable garden like this , but what a wonderful idea. I owned a garden center for many years and this yard completely blew my mind and to think it was accomplished in 3 years. My mouth dropped when I saw the veggie garden and love the way you incorporated the flowers . I hope you live many years so you can enjoy it. From another NC native I salute you for a job well done. Please let us tour your yard again in the winter.
Yvonne, your words were so nice. And encouraging especially coming from a garden business colleague. God bless!!
Just found this video. This is one of the best examples in blending the landscape plus an enjoyable personality. Great conifers!
Thank you taking through your garden tour! I just love the enclosure and how it serves as protection and a trellis for vining plants. I really enjoyed the whole video and look forward to seeing your garden in the fall and winter. 😊
Well thank you MsLallie. Keep your eye's peeled. We plan to be back in October or so.
This has got to be the prettiest, well rounded garden I have ever seen!! The colors and textures just work!! It's fabulous!! Not only that, Bruce is so knowledgeable! I wish he was my neighbor!! 😩😂😂
Bruce has a real passion for gardening! Congratulations to him!
He sure does!!!
Loved this tour. These Conivors are Wonderful!! Can I grow any of these in Houston Texas‽?I have been told no.? Any suggestions I love color.
Thank you Sonya. Yes, you can grow conifers in Houston. Atlantic and Deodar Cedars will grow well there. We showed several in this video. Electric Blue, Hortsmann, Cream Puff, Silver Mist would all be good choices. Spruces might be hard there but a blue spruce call Fat Albert do well in warmer area's. You might ask a local nursery to get one if they don't already have them. There are some good juniper choices too. Don't let that word scare you. There are some cultivars that don't look like your grand daddy's junipers. Moon Glow, Spartan, Taylors, and Blue Point have good similarities to some in my yard. And False Cypress (chamaecyparis). I have several types shown in this video. And arborvitae's like you saw in this video. Remember the one we were hugging? the forever goldy? That would grow good in the Houston area.
Beautiful tour! Thank you for the tips and years of experience. Yes, I’d love to see this garden in the Winter too. I vote Yes!
Thanks Connie Dee. You should see us again this Fall and Winter.
Beautiful yard! Would love to see it at different seasons ❤️

Amazing! Beautiful! Thanks to you both!! Yes, winter tour and other garden tours!
Love the fact it used to be a plain grass yard , & now it’s booming in Mother Nature as it should ❤
Drop dead gorgeous Garden!
Thanks for the tour gentlemen!!
Great job! 🌲❤️(Missouri)
What a great, great video. Thank you so much. Question I have what do you use for for weed control?.
I live in Maryland zone 7.
I also had a jungle when I started. I am now in process of installing a brick border to keep the grass transitioning into the shrubs after I plant them.
Again thank you keep your videos coming.

Card box boxes broken down! Or landscape fabric and or pine needles! Thanks for watching!
Yuhuu incredible. Awesome!
Very charming to watch.
Enjoy and relaxing place.
Awesome , thanks you for sharing Amazing garden .
This was the most fabulous garden tour I have ever experienced. Let’s visit again.
You need a tv show! This video is not only beautiful but educational too! Thank you!
The biggest problem with this video is… it was too short! I could spend hours in this garden. Beautiful landscaping and both these guys were a joy to tour with! Yes… go back in the winter!
Haha! The raw footage was like 2 1/2 hours
This garden is beyond beautiful. I would love to see this garden many times during the year. Thank you for sharing!
Очень оригинальное, нестандартное решение оформление пространства. Очень понравилось!!! Недорого, но со вкусом! Понравилось все - дорожки, клумбы, огород. И хозяин молодец!!! Хороший вкус. Молодой задор, активность, позитивный характер, юмор и все остальное! Желаю здоровья, долгих лет. Пусть ваш дом приносит вам радость и позитив, и пусть ваш дом обходят неприятности и болезни!!!!
Thank you Vladimir!! May God bless you
@@bruceduncan1792 Я весной буду оформлять свой новый участок. У меня 0,25 га площадь. Есть чему поучиться у вас и взять пример.
Жаль что далеко живете, я бы с удовольствим познакомился и посетил ваш дом. Я живу в Беларси. Я тоже пенсионер, но еще имею большие планы.💪
@@drakula2023 So you're from Belarus? That's awesome. I assume your home area is a little more cold than where I live in Western NC of the US. Does Minsk have garden centers with a good variety of conifers? I'm afraid I know very little about that part of the world.

Добрый деь, Bruce!
Я живу в средней географической полосе, у нас сейчас только начало весны, еще холодно.. Сегодня утром прошел снег. Температура - 3' C.
Но мы уже готовимся к весне. Я купил много растений для посадки на своем участке. У нас много садовых центром. Можно купить разные растения. Хвойные растения в нашем климате очень популярны.
Tudo muito lindo parabéns!! 💚💛💚💛
Thank you Edileuzza!!
Wow! What a phenomenal garden tour! I have saved this video for future use. I just moved to Mars Hill, NC and this is exactly what I had envisioned. Not sure how to go about it yet :) Do you travel?!
