One of my Favorite Garden Tours Ever! 🌱🏡 

Oh my goodness! This is such a beautiful garden that Lynn and Jim have created. It actually looks so natural and effortless but we all know it's been a labor of love. I love every aspect of this garden from peaceful walkways to the sentimental value of the swing and play house that he made for his daughters and now used in the garden. Thank you all for sharing this with us - it was such a treat.

What a lovely landscape this couple has created...so peaceful and a great retreat from our crazy world. Thank you for bringing us this garden🙂

This is what my garden wants to be when it grows up. Living in a forest myself, I know how difficult it is to garden with deer. My hat is off to this wonderful couple for what they have accomplished. I will be watching this video several times I'm sure. Thank you Jim , Jim, and Lynn.

Beautiful spot, it's taken a lot of work to create such a lovely garden, thanks Mr. P. For doing this video and thanks to Jim & Lynne for letting us visit.

WOW, my favorite of ALL your garden tours. It is spectacular, please thank this couple for letting us see their magnificent collection.

I just came across this video. It's funny how as you start to gain more knowledge of the different plants and tree species you recognize them immediately in these random videos. I took my dogs for a nice walk in a pleasant part of town that has a forested country club vibe (not where I live), and saw a gorgeous version of this tree in the intro of the video, Wolf Eyes. I was going to take a picture of the tree it was spectacular in its full white leaved bloom. A very elegant looking tree. I'm adding it to my list of plants and trees I'd like to collect for my home some day. What a stand out tree.

Thank you for putting the identification tags on the plants, so I can research them for my zone. This is my style, love to see they are using the leaves as in place compost or on their paths. Very inspiring mature garden, they should be very proud, I hope they have time to sit a spell in it.

Oh do go back please! I could spend hours in their woodland garden. Love to hear more about leveling that slope. That in itself is an amazing challenge which they have clearly met! Thanks to you and hostess for sharing.

I concur with all the previous comments...I can't come up with anything original so I'll just say thank you for sharing this amazing garden both jm and the owners. Bravo !

Gorgeous!!! Love the woodsy log paths along with the beautiful water fountain. Love this tour ❤️

It would be nice to see this garden in the fall when all the maples are changing colors. I hope you revisit them and film again in the autumn.

Awesome garden, please go back! I especially loved and totally appreciated that they did all this themselves! I go on so many garden tours of large lots, where money is no object. Unrealistic for many of us.

Really enjoyed this garden tour! I kept stopping the video to take screen shots of plants I might want for my garden. So much inspiration here- thank you!

So peaceful and the owner was so nice to “visit”.

What fun to see the Swansons honored!! I grew up with their younger daughter and can vouch that their garden is even more beautiful in person 💚

This was one awesome garden Jim. Agree with you this might be one of your best tours. This lady had such a great feel for creating contrast in the garden. Thanks for sharing this place

I love a woodland garden more than anything. It takes love of nature to work with it rather than a fully manufactured & manicured garden. Love the use of natural logs, I saw how nature used fallen logs to create semi-terraces & how pockets for plants got created. Love this couples outlook on gardening! Thanks Lynn & both Jims! Edit: oh yes, much more to see. More tours & bloopers please!

That has to be the most beautiful and inspiring woodland garden I’ve seen! Goals!!!

Please go back for more videos of this garden!! It was great!!!

WONDERFUL gardens & so nice to have the owner contribute information during this video. This is particularly inspiring to me, for my sloped, deep woodland gardens. Thank you for featuring many different styles of private gardens. And thank you to these homeowners for sharing this.

Jim, this has got to be one of the most beautiful private gardens I've ever seen on a gardening video! I would love to have tagged along on this tour ...to experience this garden in person! Please thank Lynn and Jim for allowing you to video their gorgeous gardens for your RU-vid channel. ~Margie🦋💚🌞

Lynn was so knowledgeable and humble. Loved her garden.

Just loved this tour. What a nice host to share the garden she and her husband has created.

Spectacular garden, thanks so much for the tour! I so love how natural it looks with the use of stone and logs. Those kousa dogwoods at the entrance, the daphne, the variegated plants…swoon! Especially inspiring that they did most of that work themselves. I would love to see more from this garden. Thanks so much to all of you for sharing.

Jim and Lynn have a beautiful garden, thanks Jim P for sharing your tour with your viewers. Yes, once the garden bug bites it leaves a beautiful scar on your heart and soul.

GM! Yes, this looks to be a low-maintenance four-season garden. It seems to have ideal lighting and slope to accommodate most plants.

Beautiful labor of love. Great conversation too. Having arrived from the Pacific Northwest a couple of years ago I saw many favorites that I grew there including her collection of abundant native ferns. Thank you for sharing this garden with us and thank you Jim for posting the plant names for us. Very very helpful.

A treasure in this woodland setting - peaceful and beautiful

I enjoyed this tour so much. Lynn's smile is as welcoming as her beautiful garden.

This garden is exquisite, and the owner is so gracious and knowledgeable. I am inspired. I have a very shady back yard in Georgia, 8a, and I was jotting down the names of plants I hope to acquire. Thank you!!!

Gorgeous garden. A credit to the owners. The wonderful thing is that, as well as the enjoyment it will bring them, they will probably live longer, healthier lives. Gardening is the best obsession of all and according to the Biblical narrative, man's first job. Lynn & Jim, you should be very proud of what you've created there. Lovely.

What a beautiful way to keep the neighbors at Bay.

Wow!! What an amazing garden! Thank you so much for the tour. What a labor of love, and you can tell. 😊💗👍

Jim, thanks to you and this couple for showing this amazing gardening landscape! It’s so refreshing to see how they have turned a ‘mature’ lot into something quite magical including the challenges of having slopes and also demonstrating sustainability. These shady garden ideas are just what I needed, including the tip on planting on slopes! I will be re-watching this video a few times and look forward to seeing more of their garden rooms! 🌳🌸🇨🇦

what a fabulous garden ... I think my favorite of all the gardens you've visited (so far!). I particularly fond of woodland gardens and this is one of the best. I would love to see it in the Fall when the Japanese Maples all come into their glory ... thanks for taking the time to visit and film, and thanks to the home owners / gardeners for sharing this beautiful work of "art" !!!

Greetings from northern Atlanta zone 7b. I just recently found your channel, our lot is similar to theirs and we are getting ready to clean it up, this couldn’t be more on point! Thank you both!

Thank you for this video.. I love how you are showcasing gardeners beautiful yards!

Love this garden. Thanks for the tour.😊

i can see why it's one of your fav's!! what a charming woodland garden, charming lady, i love listening to gardeners talk to each other. thanks for sharing!

These tours are wonderful! I would love to hear more from Lynn about pruning the maples. It’s a skill I’d like to improve. Gardens like that don’t just happen, although it looks like it did.

She was sweet and genuine! I enjoyed this tour. Thank you 😊

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for inviting us along, and please do return!

Love these tours, even though I'm in zone 3B I always find inspiration.

I keep watching this video over again. Those Wolf eyes are definitely my favorite. The deer fence is nice too. Hard work pays in many ways.. Thanks for the tour.

Have Jim and Lynn named their garden? If not they should call it Paradise because they’ve really created paradise there. Such an amazing space. It also reminds me of the Secret Garden. Just beautiful. As you know Jim my three year old loves Japanese Maples and he’s been screaming there’s one! There’s one! Again making my little guys day with your videos.

I love these tours. It’s been so inspiring.

Amazing garden and an amazing couple! Such a beautiful setting with so many interesting plants. Lynn has helped me in my garden and inspired me to look beyond flowers to structure and ornamentals. I’ve learned to love my shade and am realizing all the wonderful plants that can thrive there. ( But yes,the deer are a pain!) Great video Jim. Thanks for sharing. 🌿

Oh my word, that entry is breathtaking.

Love your garden tour Jim. Lynn and Jim’s garden is peaceful and natural. It seems has been there forever.

Thank you Jim, for making this video, and especially to Lynn for allowing us into your garden. This could be my favourite shade garden video. I love your garden. I'm in the Vancouver BC area Z8 and have 1/3 acre which has a small area of woodland surrounded by tall cedars and firs. We have a slope, leading to a cliff on the side of this area. I'm always on the lookout for shade plants and have been inspired by your garden style. We have some large branches from one of the firs, and I think I will put them on the side of the short path. I'm doing it pretty well single handed and fell into gardening when my husband retired and we moved to this property 10 years ago. I loved it instantly too. I need to paint my shed and somehow make the path loop around so it's not a dead end. The projects never end. But then, what else would I rather do? I just hope they get easier. Thanks again.

Loving your garden tour series Jim! They have done magic on the slope ground. I love a great woodland garden!

I love all kinds of gardening. It 's the nature in mankind. To watch seeds emerge into plants 🪴. Then become all tips of gardens. Thank you Lynn and Jim for sharing your passion with us. Fonderful Jim and Stephany for teaching us. I learn more to day. Thank you 💖

Another awesome video and I especially appreciate the plant names and zones that was provided. This beats any public paid garden tours and jealous you are invited to so many personal gardens!

So loved this tour. My husband and I just moved to North Carolina and are building a woodland garden from scratch. We too have heavy deer pressure and have been trying to determine how to address the challenges you highlighted in this beautiful garden!

Varieties of Heuchera would make a lovely splash of color in this shade garden.

Would love to be able to relax in such a serene and beautiful space every day.

I've been -planning- freaking out over a half acre portion of my yard I'm turning into a garden. Everyday I get further -ahead- behind because I can't settle on anything! I see videos like this and it's so beautiful that I feel -inspired- like I'll never get it right. 😭😭😭😭 Seriously though, -nice- amazing garden!

Loved this! As in ALL your tours, the wonderful people behind the garden are highlighted as well!

A wonderful garden and can’t wait for the next visit.

Incredible! The variety in your shade gardens is mind blowing!

Is awesome when you have money, good property and a spouse who have the same hobby. She is so blessed!!

WOW! Where to start! This is my favorite! Thank you Jim & Lynn for allowing us in your beautiful garden! Jim, you asked really good questions and I was just in awe the whole tour! I love the design, the variety of plants, all of it. I do have a question. I'm always curious in gardens like this, how do they keep it watered? I would love to do something like this but wouldn't know how to water it. I wouldn't want it to be a chore. That would take all the fun out. Again, stunningly beautiful garden ❣️

Goodness, your garden is amazing. So interesting and peaceful. I could watch this video over and over. I have a shade garden that my hubs put paths in for me; he lined the paths with rocks we dug up from the ground. We live in PA, and we do have rocky soil. Huge rocks. So I know the work involved. Thank you for the tour. Stunning.

Awesome garden! The rooms you created are so beautiful. I love the creative use of the logs and stone.

Such an inspiring garden! Thanks so much for sharing this amazing woodland garden.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! What more can I say? Absolutely incredible and peaceful. I really enjoyed this video.

This garden is so lovely! It is so well cared for. You can also tell that they have created it over many years. I look forward to more videos from here. Are they outside the Beltline or 540?

A fine example of a “specimen collector”, but it’s nice, weed-free, and clean so it looks very nice still! I prefer planting more en masse and with a bit more cohesiveness, but to each their own 😊

Love the tour videos. Thank you Jim and Lynn for letting us see your beautiful garden!

Love it. No rhyme or rhythm just beauty.

What a magnificent garden and collection of plants like the Japanese maples. We collect Japanese maples so I can totally understand that. Thanks Jim for the beautiful tour❤️❤️❤️

I am struggling with my steep woodland garden. I found this is such an inspiring garden. please make more videos!

This is magnificent. Really want to add some kousa dogwoods to my landscape💕

What a beautiful garden. Just caught the hosta bug so would love to see those.

What an inspiring garden! Thanks to the Swansons for sharing their beautiful landscape with us. I am trying to develop the wooded ravine on my property and there are so many ideas here. Nice to have the slow walk-through segment to get an idea of the flow.

I’m just amazed at this beautiful garden. Such a treat to go along with you exploring in this magical forest. Please go back when you can. BTW…love the out takes!

Oh my goodness what an absolutely beautiful landscape!

That was such a treat! Thank you so much Jim for the tour! Jim and Lynn have a beautiful garden! I could tell that Lynn really loved her garden! And that daphne looked amazing!

WOW, I enjoyed so very much…Thanks for taking us along!

A wonderful tour! Lynn did a nice job of presenting the plants and discussing their gardening journey. I can't wait to see more!

What a great video!! My favorite kind of video!! Beautiful, gorgeous garden!!! Thank you for the plant names!!!

Absolutely love her Garden!!!! Thanks for this awesome Tour!! Blessings!

What a gorgeous woodland experience!!!! Thank you Lynne for sharing with us. Great videography, Jim!

Love woodland gardens, such a great garden! Thanks for sharing!

I just moved to a property on a steeply sloped, forested lot just south of Raleigh, so this video was incredible inspiration!

Wow! One of my most favorite garden tours yet, can't wait for part 2!!!!

Wow!!! Serene and Beautiful! 🌿💚🍃
