Tour Horticulturist's 1/3 ACRE Home Garden — Ep. 218

While we were on Swarthmore College speaking at the Perennial Plant Conference, we had an opportunity to visit the VP of Horticulture of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Andrew Bunting's beautiful 1/3 acre home garden. Though it is late in the season, the beauty of the garden is undeniable—and his clever use of little space is well thought-out.

Andrew is my brother and I just love how gracious and generous he is when he’s talking to others about plants. He’s also has the perfect personality for garden tours…not just in his own garden but any garden. Before I had any interest in gardening or the outdoors at all, I memorized the names of three plants in my mom’s garden:Hakonechloa macra ‘Aureola’, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigra’, so I could play a joke on my brother, by astounding him with my plant identification, when he came to visit my mom. As we looked at my mom’s garden, I identified those three plants. Andrew, because he is, as I said gracious and generous, went on as it was the most normal thing ever that I knew these plants now. He just believes in any garden or gardener no matter how humble, and meets them where they are, with the same enthusiasm he has for the most experienced gardeners and the most significant gardens in the world. I’m am super impressed with Summer’s knowledge of plants, because Andrew has some unusual things in his garden. This is such a lovely video and the garden looks amazing. I agree with a previous comment that you should do more of these! ❤️ Sorry this is so long!

A true garden, with trees, space, and comfort. I bet everyone wishes they owned a garden like this. For nature lovers, there is no place like this garden.

I've known Andrew for 25 years, he is the consummate plantsman and an all around fantastic guy!

Andrew Bunting has created a painting-like oasis. I saw a Monet, along the way. It lends to thoughts like.. the World is a beautiful place. Mother Earth and Mother Nature are mighty, with ferocious, merciless force. They should be the only 'World Leaders' with whom we need to have diplomatic relations. Mr. Bunting is apparently, a skilled diplomat.

Thank goodness, a channel that uses the correct botanical name for plants, rather than just the common U.S. name. I'm in the U.K. and find we often use different common names so sticking to the international botanical plant language of Latin makes much more sense.

This have to be one of my favorite gardens tour of this year. This garden have so much character and stories to tell. Love you to do a home garden more often vs botanical gardens. Something about a house garden is that you can really see the person who created the garden and the love that they put into the garden. Thank you for sharing this and can’t wait to keep seeing what you are doing for your own space. Happy early thanksgiving everyone!! ❤️

Andrew B. Is the best! I miss him every day at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Loved getting a tour❤

I had an area so dry in shade under red cedar. After several years of placing fallen leaves there it is rich and beautiful soil.

Wonderful tour! Your brains are like an encyclopedia that you quickly flick through with names of the plants

What a garden. 1/3 looks like just the right amount, me, myself and I are on 2 acres, at 65 that's at least 1 acre too many 😊
I'm on the shore in Maryland..7b..I have black and blue, it grows to a small bush, the stems are black, it loves the sun as well. How could anyone say no thanks to an offer of doing all the work, while you get to enjoy the benefits, how nice is that. Would be great if Mr Bunting shares photos with you, of the new redo of the secret garden.

I enjoyed this tour so much. He has a great yard and A very welcoming down to earth way of speaking and making you comfortable. Thank you

[markbosky]

Absolutely wonderful garden. Thanks for sharing and giving us the tour

[LauraLeighsLittleMoments]

Hello, from Baltimore zone 7b. I love your cottage aesthetic.

[lisatomsha]

Spectacular!! Thank you so much for this tour. It is a dream, absolutely beautiful!

[keliza]

I love this. It shows what you can do on the smallest of spaces. Just wonderful.

[sharonknorr]

Oh my, this was so lovely. I was saving this until today, actually, because it is now very cold here, with 5 inches of snow on the ground. I enjoy listening to you guys nerd out on plant names being a scientist myself.

Have had this video saved in my Watch Later folder for a while, so glad I finally watched it while I'm currently buying and planting perennial shrubs! I will be giving everything a wide birth of space based on full size dimensions. Truly an inspirational garden

[undertheumbels]

I'm on a small suburban lot (8, 000 sq feet), so Im obsessed with small fruits, vegetable and pollinators. It is so nice to see a lush woodland garden, it reawakens my imagination.❤

[ja-uhgz]

Absolutely beautiful gardens! I love the woodsy aspect of it and the hidden secret gardens are so charming. The plant selections are very interesting. This video is saved as one of my favorites. Thank you Andrew and Summer for the tour! 😄
