Neighbor Garden Tour

Neighbor Garden Tour - In this video I tour a beautiful mostly shade garden in Raleigh, NC. Amazing historic neighborhood gardening

I can tell the birds are also a big fan of her garden.

Love the magenta entry door + arbour.
The gatdener who creates this garden, and who convinced the city fathers to use STONE rather than concrete to construct thatwater canal -- at least where it passes through residential spaces, is a conpelling genius.

A real, and an articulate, gardener would know how to persuade those folks.

What an incredible gift to Raleigh, she is reaponsible for!

Thank you, home owner! You certainly like to garden. You’ve got to be out there every day to keep it so nice.

I like the idea of letting plants limb themselves up.

Just nothing like a mature landscape! No matter the extravagance of a new planting, I love a garden where I can know the gardener by seeing what they've created & nurtured.
Very nice space, just lovely use of their yard. Thanks Jim & homeowners!

I go back and forth between wanting garden rooms and wanting big border gardens with an open middle. Depends on which garden tour I’m watching. So wishy-washy of me. ☺️Lovely garden!

Thanks you guys for doing this video. I have been dying to see one that resembles (I use the term loosely) mine. Mine is smaller, but is surrounded by big cedars, firs and dogwoods. I'm about zone 7b (just going a little below freezing now), full and part shade, with a spot or two of almost full sun. I'm grateful to the owner for sharing her garden. It is truly beautiful with so much variety. I have learned much from it and will watch it again. 💚

I love her gardens! And I really admire her for convincing them to use stone instead of concrete for the drainage creek. Now its a beautiful and surprising addition to the back garden. Her property is unique & maybe even challenging. Yet she didn't let that prevent her from making it stunning. Well done! Thank you Jim, Stef, and the homeowner!

A LOT of work and maintenance has gone into this beautiful garden. The casual observer would never know. Thank you miss for the tour. I bet you’re out in the yard right now!🌸

This is a BEAUTIFUL, purposeful, sweet garden. This lady must be a very lovely human being, with a lot of light in her eyes. Thanks for sharing this with us!!

I am so jealous of the contour that Piedmont gardeners get. Here on the coast everything is flat. We all covet the conditions other gardeners have.

[upnorth]

Yes, BIG thanks to homeowner for letting us see that beautiful garden, so cool to have the water running through it with the beautiful canal stone instead of cement. Shade has so much beauty! Thank you for filming it!

[elmaelmar]

Wow what a beautiful garden!! I love those pink iris by the beautiful door!!

[junesmart]

The garden of my dreams! It's hard to even realize there's a city surrounding it. So peaceful, so lovingly tended. Thanks for this tour.

I am surprised to see only a few hostas esp where there’s hundreds of varieties. And no heucheras ! Def need texture layering with a shaded garden . I love how everything feels like it been there for hundreds of years. It’s like walking thru well curated trails in her garden

[mamiemw]

Ya never know what you’ll learn from one of Jim’s videos. I learned that magnolias lose leaves in May in my zone. That’s significant because we planted an expensive magnolia in March and I thought I had killed it because it dropped most of its leaves. What a stress reliever to know that’s natural! Thanks Jim!

[juliabinford]

The use of shade speaks to me. Some very large trees are changing my own garden over time. I particularly like limbing up woody shrubs into tree form. What a good steward of her garden. Admirable!

[jenniferhooks]

What an absolutely gorgeous garden with color and textures and layer upon layer. The homeowner has very lovingly cared for her garden. I envy her high shade., Tornadoes from Hurricane Dorian took out my big shade trees in my backyard. Please thank her for allowing us to see her beautiful landscape. Great video!

[ElizabethM]

Thanks to the homeowner for allowing you to share her garden with us. It's just spectacular! I love all the changes in elevation and the beautiful rooms created. I would love to see it again in the fall and winter.

[carolrose]

Now that is a garden delight! Wow how exquisite! Only the love of a gardener and time can create such a beautiful space! Thank You for sharing!
