Put a sign that says Horttube Garden this way ➡️ and they will come 😂😂. I love clown college design. Cannot wait to see Dr Seuss design!!

@dawngustafson4717 3 месяца назад

Totally agree

Jim.....don't underestimate the draw the garden space will have just because your name is associated with it - everyone loves you!!

@dawngustafson4717 3 месяца назад

Jim, your excitement is palpable. It’s going to be amazing garden to behold!

@katherinec7698 3 месяца назад

I’m looking forward to seeing a Dr Seuss garden! Would you consider a water feature at the beginning of the garden or maybe the end of a path? The sight and sound of water seems to draw people in.

@heatherw.2751 3 месяца назад

Exciting stuff!!! I’m looking forward to watching this garden develop!

@Suzanne-mi8wk 3 месяца назад

I love your “clown college” design. It slows you down and forces you to enjoy all that is in front of you.

@Atheistbatman 3 месяца назад

Edgeworthia makes a great Dr. Seuss plant…it branches out 3 ways evenly and as it matures it looks like a geo-ball in winter and as it flowers…and many spring ephemerals …Trillium, jack-in-pulpits, Aquilegia …oh and that giant Impatiens bush with crazy flowers. And of course some weird topiary is a must. And Magnolia lyrata (? the huge leafed one). And you should use a stick marker…u about to pass out

@annwoleben5439 3 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing how to lay out paths. It makes it easier to imagine how the garden beds will evolve. Lots of work ahead, but it will be worth it.

@florneiers5651 3 месяца назад

Dr. Seuss sounds very interesting. I would put a giant arbor on that entrance with the Dr. Seuss style trees. Wow!!!!!🤩

@denisewax5396 3 месяца назад

So excited to see a raw piece of land get developed👍 I’m in Wilmington so we will be able to come see your new project 😊

@deborahburgart561 3 месяца назад

Maybe add a collection of Redbuds. The newer varieties are so stunning and definitely eye catching. 'Whitewater', Flame Thrower', 'Carolina Sweetheart ' 'Ruby Falls, Golden Falls. You already know all of these!! Lol. Wouldn't it be beautiful though?? You could add some sort of Evergreen screen to block those poles and little building up the hill ? DeGroots Spires maybe? So exciting!! Can't wait!!!

@Neonatnoon 3 месяца назад

I find your design inspiring. It feels like an experience, rather than just a display, which is the way I like to see plants.

@hanthouse 3 месяца назад

huge rocks with appropriate plantings. be beautiful. i love rocks, boulders and the strange plants that grow there.

@IcecoldDan26 3 месяца назад

It's going to be so fun watching this garden come to life!

@judithcurtis3708 3 месяца назад

I hope you include a Temple of Bloom in this garden. I am very surprised that you don’t have one in your home garden! It is such a beautiful shrub/tree with much seasonal interest!

@HandcraftedintheFoothills 3 месяца назад

I just purchased one can't wait to watch this grow as I train it into a tree

@annakasikkink7489 3 месяца назад

So fun to be in the dreaming phase. I'm imagining a little meadow in some of those larger beds. Mystery, yes, but leading to a surprise space with some breathing room.

@someguy5927 3 месяца назад

Weeping Blue atlas cedar for the first plant. You can contort it into something oddly spectacular. Then some taller specimens behind it to draw your eye and pull you in

@andreahorsch286 3 месяца назад

I really appreciate thr chance to learn how you think about garden layouts

@rnguyen2516 3 месяца назад

You had me laughing in the beginning! The most unique plants I’ve ever seen is the Agave Americana and Western Pasqueflower, if you want to make a real Dr. Seuss garden 😂. How amazing and interesting would that be!

@deborahburgart561 3 месяца назад

Add a large and interesting arch ( something upcycled?) at the entrance of your garden in Wallace. Maybe see if you could get a local artisan to build it..Maybe NC State students and JC Ralston could help design the arch and give some input also. Panther Creek Nursery has some large, amazing topiaries you could add (Dr Seuss 😉). Add an 'H T' block letter sculpture up the hill on the right also. Both the letters and arch could be made from recycled materials too if you wanted. Also you could have a big bug hotel like Ralston has?? Whatever you do will be magnificent I'm sure. 😊

@mariebarnes416 3 месяца назад

Be sure to add spots for people to sit snd enjoy your garden.

@dia9491 3 месяца назад

It’s so exciting, this whole process. The drone footage is brilliant. I love getting to see the evolution.

@noahjackson5491 3 месяца назад

I like the dead corner area with a bench and just a nice calm outer spot with the super plants. Sounds nice

@miryana7873 3 месяца назад

Can't wait to see the end product!❤

@judymckerrow6720 3 месяца назад

Thanks Jim and Stephany 💐💚🙃

@topaz3468 3 месяца назад

Jim: Personally, I would entice the garden tour folks with free slurpies, fresh lemonade, or other icy drinks that will energize the participants. 🥤🍉. People will be grateful while dealing with the summer heat, and want to return the following year! Maybe even a sign announcing a cold refreshment?

@DamonHart 3 месяца назад

I was going to say the drone footage is fantastic

@LindaBaker-l1b 3 месяца назад

Very very exciting! The possibilities are endless!

@buckWildest 3 месяца назад

i dont want to be patient get the plants and let us all come help you plant them! this space will be amazing!

@deborahburgart561 3 месяца назад

Will the nursery provide the plants for your new garden? Plants they would like to sell?

@saraw8503 3 месяца назад

A Dr. Seuss garden definitely calls for a weeping blue atlas cedar! And a cloud pruned Carolina sapphire cypress.

@hanthouse 3 месяца назад

such a honor. excited to watch your techniques and artistry. hope to learn a lot.

@scallywags12 3 месяца назад

Put an arch way / arbor to enter your new garden area.

@EverydayKindaGuy 3 месяца назад

2:20 two very beefy obelisks flanking either side made out of 4x4 uprights, 10' tall, anchored to the ground, with climbing roses and clematis on each. Everyone knows an entrance to new sections often has a threshold. A little path mixed up "hedging" to create a visual funnel in would be well suited too.

@mardisteffenhagen 3 месяца назад

Can’t wait to see this develop !

@patriciarobinson5033 3 месяца назад

Garden Whimsy! It will be lovely.

@jeannettejohnson2572 3 месяца назад

Laughed at Steph’s comment about free hot dogs…. Whatever you all do will be stunning!!🌺

@erincolleen7436 3 месяца назад

Thanks Jim and Stephany!

@deborahburgart561 3 месяца назад

You could have a 'HortTube' sculpture installed at the base of that Riverbirch stump. Something quirky and tall. ??

@naturegirl7777 3 месяца назад

...how you calculated the pathways on the ground -- on foot -- was amazing! The aerial view displayed such symmetry, it was easy for us to see your vision. I can plainly envision your different widths of paths. Can't wait for that bark to break down, JP! Oh the planting-fun that is to come! 🤗🙌🌳🌿 (from 👩🏼‍🌾💚 =^..^=) [MD, now 7a]

@L4sleeko 3 месяца назад

You've got a great advantage being up on an incline if you can draw peoples eyes up with the interesting plant forms. It'll be a home run and an attention grabber for sure! ;)

@katiekane5247 3 месяца назад

Tons of grown plants are only workable if you own a nursery. Show people how to use natives and keep them walking to see what's around the curve. Formal designs are coming to the end of their time IMO. I'm sure Jim and Stephanie are perfect for this project.

@grammardad 3 месяца назад

This is great. I’ve always talked about making a Dr Seuss style garden. Got to include giant alliums, I submit. Fantastic points re: building maintenance practicality into the space.

@kathrynmettelka7216 3 месяца назад

Fascinating project. I will watch it develop eagerly.

@juliabinford6500 3 месяца назад

I’d certainly be drawn in by a Japanese type space, but not completely. So many possibilities.

@KyleMartin.NCRealtor 3 месяца назад

Looking forward to seeing this come together!

@amandasue6500 3 месяца назад

I think that children especially need things to touch, taste and smell. Maybe an edible patch of herbs to get them interested. They are our future gardeners, we need them to keep it going. My 19 year old loves bugs, we plant all sorts of things for the pollinators.

@emmalavenham 3 месяца назад

I would consider using a striking, unique evergreen focal to encourage people to walk in and explore the space, but that is under planted (or nearby) which drifts of something that grounds it in the surrounding spaces for cohesion

@terriebutler6737 3 месяца назад

HortTube man, how cool !!! Love the Dr Seuss idea. I saw a plant the other day that looked like eye balls. I thought it was so cool. And of course those Dr Seuss looking cedars. Love the idea Jim and Steph. Can’t wait to follow you along, THANK YOU BOTH 🌳🌳🌳🐕

@kaychaney6102 3 месяца назад

So enjoyed this!

@staceyalarcon4027 3 месяца назад

Tuck a water feature that you just get a peek of from the entrance. That and the sound of water will get people in there.

@rnguyen2516 3 месяца назад

That sounds so beautiful. At the Dallas Arboretum we have a playful fountain at the beginning of what they call Crape Myrtle Alley. The trees have been trained to create a natural arch as you walk under them. At the end is another playful fountain that invites kids to play. His area is wide enough to put a fountain in the middle and then people can enter around the fountain.

@MelindaBrooks-vj3fr 3 месяца назад

Such fun! Such intrigue waiting to see what develops!

@DianeSchicker 3 месяца назад

a stone moon garden gate entrance is a good start, it makes a nod to a room

@johnheyer6087 3 месяца назад

My first thought for what to put at the entrance to draw attention was a large blue spruce.

@brookemontes3816 3 месяца назад

Free hot dogs…😂😂😂 🌭! I’m in!

@rnguyen2516 3 месяца назад

Hort Dogs 😂!

@terrivance8750 3 месяца назад

Jim, Steph, I have an unusual tree recommendation for this garden--the Monkey Puzzle tree (Araucaria araucana). An extremely cool & unique tree! .😊

@tallibarr815 3 месяца назад

If you want to stand out, offer to local modern artists a prominent place to display their art

@naturegirl7777 3 месяца назад

@stephaniesharkey3538 3 месяца назад

It would b nice to see something like the tree nursery that u went to last winter out west! We will follow along with interest!

This is gonna be cool...Raleigh garden on steroids! Jim and steph experience will definitely shine on this project...

@kathleenmccarthy8418 3 месяца назад

How about a large metal arch covered in a climbing rose to delineate your entrance?

@chriscoogan2736 3 месяца назад

NC certified native garden in one spot to draw in the curious homeowners who would like to do that. Perhaps another area that brings in not often seen migratory birds for the bird watchers.

@NitaP1569 3 месяца назад

Looking forward to seeing this project evolve. Excellent information. How many inches of wood chips thick do you estimate is laid down in this new space?

@mikeymopar1171 3 месяца назад

Will you keep it all flat or will you make berms in your design to give your garden some height to it in places

@blessildajoy 3 месяца назад

Agree with the archway, narrow entrance creating a secret garden feel. Love this initial phase.. Will it be a woodchip path or some soft grass or fragrant carpet of goodness?

@miamianz 3 месяца назад

thank you i been trying to brainstorm how to go about doing this , and online pictures dont really help my over active visual mind. 😃 id love to do a sundial with a Italian cypress and with flowers or bulbs that bloom during that month or season over the clock hours. blood lilies are spectacular if you want dr Seuss looking type plants check it out. specifically Red 'African Blood Lily' Plant Bulbs

@freedomfighter1734 3 месяца назад

As someone already suggested it, Japanese garden might be a good idea.

@JimPutnam 3 месяца назад

It will be something like that, but without the gravel maintenance nightmare 😂

@laurahazel6884 3 месяца назад

@@JimPutnam Put a few Jay Sifford-esque "arthritic" trees and conifers, with some of his signature Japanese carex "Everillo" borders. It would really pop.

@TheRelaxedGarden 3 месяца назад

I’m just curious, with this being a public garden , how wide are you going to make your pathways ?

@anitahadley2871 3 месяца назад

If you plant it, they will come!

@onething247 3 месяца назад

We’re following along this new journey with you! Are you familiar with John Lord’s Secret Garden? He has a nursery but also an adjoining garden area with many paths. Inspirational!

@emmalavenham 3 месяца назад

It seems to me that the focal does not necessary need to be super weird to grab people’s attention, it could be just striking in terms of color… A golden dawn redwood like Soul Fire is just such an example..

@mikesmallridge 3 месяца назад

Consider a formal rose garden spot

@rnguyen2516 3 месяца назад

That’s beautiful! We have a rose garden at the Dallas Arboretum. It’s almost like its own room with climbing roses to enter. Next to it is a beautiful grassy area where it’s fun to picnic.
