Discovering the Early Hydrangea Bloomers 

This is probably out of context, but Jenny, I wanted to tell you that back in 2022, I visited your garden center (I am from Canada) and bought a bird house - that was the only thing that would fit in my suitcase which would go on the plane. The bird house was built for bluebirds, which I had never seen here at home. This was a case of 'Who cares? I love the bird house, I am getting the bird house!'. Well, two years later, I am happy to report that we have a couple Eastern Bluebirds nesting in the bird house!!! Never seen them on our property before! We are so grateful!

Mimi’s gardens are stunning. No grass, I love it. She is a master gardener for sure.

Thank you for the tour. Looking at yours and Mimi beautiful gardens is healing to my heart. My grandmother passed a few weeks ago. She was cremated and didn’t want a funeral. We would sit and talk about flowers for hours when we visited. She always asked if I had a lilac in my yard. Her memory was failing and every time I answered with a “no, not yet”. Today I planted a lilac in the yard with some of her ashes while listening to Johnny cash (her favorite). It was my personal funeral for her. Just listening to you talk about flowers and touring your gardens has brought me a great comfort today.

Thank you for reminding us that there is beauty in the mess of life. I liked a saying in a magazine years ago that says, bloom where you are planted. A good reminder 😊

😍😍 Jenny, this was absolutely one of the best tours of Mimi‘s Garden! I felt like I was at a beautiful nature park with all the gorgeous hydrangeas that Mimi has lovingly taken care of! Such a pleasant surprise so early this morning! thank you for sharing❣️

The lizard showed his red throat so cool! ❤

One of my favorite flower in the garden, simply beautiful and reliable perennial.

Quote of the day. “You can have a whole bunch of mess and junk in your life, but that does not mean that there aren’t beautiful moments and beautiful specs in there.”

Hi there Jenny: I just received your "Proven Winner" Niagra Falls Switch Grass yesterday after coming indoors from an intensive gardening day. Looks great and appreciate the way you folks took the time to pack the beautiful grass with such care.! Your kind words of Happy Gardening on the front of the box shows you folks really care about your customers as well. Looks very healthy and imagine the grass will be stunning in the garden! Thanks for your tour this morning and as you mentioned we just have some moments of frustration but the gardening world is a wonderful place to be. Have a great day!💌

All the hydrangeas are sooooooo beautiful, Mimi's gardens are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤❤

Hi Jenny, I absolutely love Mimi’s garden ❤ It’s so spectacular I have no words! She just blows me away with her beautiful garden and having no watering except for God and her, love you Mimi ❣️🦋

Your so lucky to have different colour of Hydrangea available to you. It’s always nice to see Mimi’s garden.

What a gorgeous collection of hydrangeas! I don't think I would ever go inside...lol!!

Thank you for the beautiful tour, Jenny❤. This has been a special joy for me because I didn’t know of anyone who had the “Lady in Red” hydrangea. The old nursery in our city closed and no one else knew anything about it! So glad to hear that someone else has this hydrangea as well. Thank you, Jenny and Mimi❤.

Jenny, you NEED some Incvincibelle Limetta hydrangeas! I'm in 7b with acidic red clay soil. I have 14 of them now. They look like Annabelle but smaller so they fit smaller spaces and don't flop. They rebloom so they have flowers June through frost. They do well wherever I put them sun to shade and I don't have any on irrigation. I don't fertilize them. I only water them the day I plant them. Some of mine are 5 years old now. They're so stinkin' good!

I love all the cute accents in Mimi's garden! So thoughtfully placed. Thank you for the tour!💚

This is my absolutely favorite video I’ve watched so far of yours!

The hedge behind the patio wall is gonna be spectacular

It’s always fun going to Mimi’s garden, thanks. ❤😂❤

Love Mimi’s garden. She is so creative. Those lace cap hydrangeas are so amazing 😍

Thanks Jenny,from the first time you showed your Mother’s garden I was in love with it ,🌿🍃

Evening Jenny, It's 11pm Saturday night here and your video came through about an hour ago. Your hydrangea's are gorgeous. We have very, very old ones here and they are about 10ft wide by about 8-10ft tall. The flowers are huge so I'm guessing they might be mopheads. We also have an oakleaf hydrangea, which was very pretty, but unfortunately it looks like it's dying. As we are at the beginning of winter I'm going to see if it survives 🤔Mimi's gardens are beautiful, you are very lucky to have your mum so close. Have a great day and looking forward to the next video. Jeanette, New Zealand.

Thanks for the fabulous hydrangea tour! You covered so many and gave all the info we are considering at a nursery when deciding which variety to buy for our gardens. Beautiful, fun, informative, and practical: a perfect tour!

That is a Fuji Fall Hydrangea..they changed to name to Shooting Star. I’m in midstate SC and my Tuff Stuff are my favorite..oh, I forgot about Limelight 😂 BUT Shooting Star is tied for Second place. It is my oldest (6 yrs) and is my largest behind Pinky Winky. Mimi needs a Limelight but maybe it just hasn’t bloomed yet. I lied…there is a monster Oakleaf in back corner of property that was here went I moved in..probably bigger than Mimi’s..not on irrigation either! I don’t care what anyone says..for me, they can not take our afternoon sun and need watered as much as you can. I’m hydrangea crazy❤(KH)

Stunning, thank you for the tour. They are my daughter in laws favorite plant, so I sent her this to start her day. Thank you for posting, beautiful & informative

I love you guys even more for you recognizing the spots of beauty in life.❤ Amen to that.

Hi Jenny🌺 . The gorgeous hydrangeas, they look amazing in your garden and in your Mams garden . Have a wonderful day . 🌺🌻🌺

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this Hydrangea Paradise tour!

There is no such thing as too many hydrangeas!!! I love this saying and it is so true for me…over 100 and counting😂!! Such a wonderful video and absolutely stunning!! Thank you for these awesome ideas!!♥️

I just found and bought an eclipse hydrangea. Love it! I now have 7 hydrangeas total. There are many more to come!

Both gardens look so incredible!!! ❤️👍

OMygosh, now I want several more hydrangeas! They're just so beautiful when planted as a hedge.

Stunning!!!! Absolutely gorgeous hydrangeas! Motivates me to expand the varieties I have in my garden.

Nap on a bench there! All that beautiful water running, heaven!

Awesome tour of Mimi's Hydrangeas, Jen ! Thank You So Much!

perfection only found in dictionary - needs to be made into a nice garden sign... 🙂

What a lovely tour, thank you Jenny! 🇨🇦🌸🇨🇦

Good morning, Jenny☕️ Mimi’s gardens are gorgeous!😍 I love all the garden art she has all over her yard. So fun and whimsical. I can see why you love to be there. The Jasmin blows my mind! I wish we could grow it up here in Boston. You’ve given me some good ideas for under my Pine tree. 🌲 Have a Blessed Day 😊🐶

Thanks for the hydrangea tour! Loved all of them, and so many wonderful choices!

Great video! Your hydrangeas are beautiful. As always, love the tours of Mimi's gardens. She sure has alot of hydrangeas. Beautiful. ❤

Thanks Jenny for a wonderful tour!

I adore those tuff stuff hydrangeas and in Western NC. Can’t find them over here. They’re so pretty and Mimi’s are gorgeous!

Absolutely gorgeous! Always love to see Mimis gardens!

So enjoyed seeing such a great variety of hydrangeas! I’m looking forward to planting a few myself!❤

Absolutely love all things hydrangea! Great video. On my roughly 0.25 acre lot I counted 16 hydrangeas I’ve planted in the past 5 years. Can’t get enough of them.

Beautiful hydrangea tour!! Thanks for showing these beautiful blooms! So fun to see Mimi's collection. The house we moved to in Tennessee has 4 different hydrangeas, the oak leaf is thriving. We have a have a lace cap one, the classic blueish one and now I know the other we have is the slipper one you mentioned. It blooms white cone shape flowers that turn redish pink eventually. 💗

Loved this tour!

Great Video, Jenny!! All I heard was buy MORE hydrangeas!! Okay, will do!! 😎 ❤️ 😍

I love this tour! ❤

Jenny I love hydrangeas so of course this video was awesome! Yours are beautiful but Mimi’s are out of this world! Please revisit when the blooms have turned partially pink and when the leave turn for Fall !!! Can not wait for the tour with your momma!!! ❤️

I just bought two Eclipse Hydrangeas this spring. The black foliage is stunning which makes the cherry blooms really pop. Bought mine off of Amazon. It came in a purple pot from the plant company named First Editions, if I remember correctly. Doing awesome in mostly shade.

Hi, Jenny loved the tour!!!💖 you &mimi have stunning hydrangeas 🎉 also beautiful jasmine🐞🐝

my garden is more of a place to keep my plant collection. messy doesn't begin to describe it. it is also overfilled with "native wildflowers" but there are Indvidual pieces that are quite lovely, and I think about Aunt Norma who gave me these or those are the yellow flowers from that lady down the block. I enjoy each piece and ignore the rest until it's their turn

Wow!, Mimi will direct her garden tour for your event? That’s awesome and gives me hope she’ll do a video tour at some point.

Two beautiful gardens

Thank you for the wonderful tour. I am getting ready to plant a couple ruby slippers - I didn’t think they got that big! And my tuff stuff - it’s hard to imagine the little hydrangeas I planted will grow that much. Maybe mine will be smaller in zone 6 without irrigation. Your comment - there is no such thing as too many hydrangeas - made me laugh 😂 I totally agree!❤

So beautiful! Loved seeing this

Love them Jenny, thanking you for sharing!

Love Mini's garden!

Beautiful, thanks&or the tour.

Fun and beautiful!❤️

Thanks for the tips🌄

Gorgeous, Mimi's garden is amazing ❤

Really enjoyed your tour! Beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful flowers thank you for sharing with us:)

Love it, Jenny!!! You are such an inspiration❤

Beautiful, Jenny!

Everything is so wonderful ❤️🌸

Waooo beautiful Incrediball hydrangea....I was wating updated 😮

Yaaay! I’m searching for the ones I need right. now.!!!

I have three Eclipse hydrangeas and gifted six of them to my daughter for Mother’s Day. Mine have incredible red/white flowers and hers have dark pink/white flowers. Both varieties are amazing! Love the dark leaves!

Loved this hydrangea tour. I absolutely love it when you show your mama's garden. There is always something wonderful to see. I bought two of those new Eclipse hydrangeas. Mimi's is in that wonderful high dappled light. It looked great! I found mine at the orange box store, where it was in full sun all day. They are still in their cans awaiting planting. Thanks for showing that Eclipse hydrangea. It was informative for me.

Beautiful video!

This is amazing Jenny

Needed this hydrangea tour… looking for some small hydrangeas 😊

Thank you Jenny. 💐💚🙃

Thank you for sharing! I have such plant FOMO, since we can’t grow hydrangeas here but I love enjoying your and Mimi’s stunners. Love your recent visitors from Arizona. 🍋🍋🍋

Jenny - what is the hanging clear globe ball in Mimi's yard that is behind you at 14:55?? Did I miss an update about the wedding? Did the rain create a need for another location?

Hi Jenny! Love all the hydrangeas in your garden and your Mom's. I am also a hydrangea lover. My favorite shrub. I have 31 spread out on my lawn and gardens. Love them. Did the wedding go beautifully? Love your channel. God Bless your family and business.

I have so much Deer 🦌 pressure this could just never be possible.

That Climates is so pretty behind you on your house.

Hi Jenny, I agree with the PW Tuff Stuff mountain hydrangea- it thrives in my dry shade garden, along with PW Gatsby Star Oakleaf . I just purchased and planted the PW Gatsby Girl Oakleaf hydrangea and I hope it does just as well! I also do not have irrigation. Every time I buy another type of hydrangea I have to enlarge my existing gardens. 😂Zone 5 🇨🇦🥰🌸

Jenny-I have been out to the nursery and after seeing your gorgeous gardens my biggest question is how are you keeping the deer away? The deer in our neighborhood are destroying everything. They are eating things that traditionally they would never touch. I bought a gorgeous dark chocolate baptisa from you a few weeks ago, deer got it the first night it was in. They are even eating lantana! I need a deer video!

See you soon Jenny! I’m coming to your nursery today!😁

So jealous of your hydrangea beauty. Just dug out three seven year old Little Limes😢because of deer predators. Putting in Pugster Pinkers instead. No spraying and no eating. But, boy those hydrangea are just gorgeous.

I'm growing Incrediballs just fine in Austin Texas. It's like you said, Jenny, you have to know your garden and watch the sun and shade before you plant. I also got and Oakleaf from you this year because they are supposed to tolerate our heat a little better...she's growing like a weed LOL. Can't wait to see if she blooms this year! Thanks for all of the good information!❤🎉😊😊

I love your metaphor Jenny! Very fitting for all of us. You and Mimi's hydrangea's are beautiful! Edit: I am going to get me some Tuff Stuff Serrata's! They are gorgeous!!!

I have really good luck with the Blue Carolina Cypress in central Texas.

Ooh I was hoping you’d say Haas Halo while looking at that deep green with white flowers. I just planted one. It’s tiny! But I hope to have something to look at next year ❤

Thank you for this amazing tour. I love hydrangeas. I have over fifty of them half in pots around my pool and the other half in the ground. I have about six Endless Summer- Summer Crush hydrangeas and I think that is what your Mimi has on the side of her pump house. Much love from Maryland.❤

Wow! Such inspiration. Gorgeous..what a great gardner you learned from....I loved the old shoes she had beside the hydrangeas with little planted im guessing sometype of hen and chick or succulent...so stinkin adorable...that speaks of her..love it....what is the vine she has growing on the bamboo trellis leaned up on the tree next to the huge (gorgeous) ruby slippers? Thank you for the tour!

Thank you for the tour! I needed to hear that you can enjoy beauty even in your messes. When I have messes I need that beauty. My sister was looking for a shade hydrangea and I told her to check out your video of today. Beautiful as always, thank you.

Loved the hydrangeas tour!! We're you able to have the wedding at your nursery gardens?

Mimi's Everillo carex are gorgeous! She doesn't have rabbit issues? Half of ours are 🐇 pruned 🙄 SO excited to see her garden at the Signature Experience! We are in the NC Sandhills z8a with a similar look--tall pines, pinestraw, natural look...I know that I'll get loads of inspiration. So nice of her to share her space.🥰 And yes, I have a macrophylla that has a combo of colors on it right now. 🩵💜🤍

Gardenias and Jasmine, zone 6b/7a, my wanted not possible plants. 😊

The plant you called midnight something looks like a macrophylla to me. Lacecap blooms grow on macrophylla,serratta and arborescens.

Beautiful hydrangeas!!! I am in zone 8b and I have pretty good luck with limelight, little lime, and little lime punch however not so much with smooth leaf hydrangea . I have an old style like the blue one near the creek in your garden. It is on irrigation and it looks great but I struggle with brown spots. I have sprayed it and the ground around it with a fungicide but it still gets the brown spots. Is there something else I can do to prevent this from happening? Thank you for all the beautiful inspiration! Your garden and your mom’s garden are absolutely beautiful!!!

Love your videos! I am also Zone 8a in Columbia. Any experience/ advice on Fairytale Bride cascading hydrangeas? Considering some for large porch planters. Thanks!!

How does your Mother label her plants? I need a label that last. I love your videos and you have a beautiful home and garden. I hope to be able to visit Creekside one day soon.

❤️❤️❤️
