Proven Winners Direct plants have arrived… but did they survive the journey? 🌿📦

Today we’re unboxing several plants that were shipped over the past week and taking a close look at their condition, size, and overall quality. If you’ve ever wondered whether ordering plants online is worth it—this will give you a real look at what to expect.

Plus, Aidan welded a custom fountain that we’re installing right in the front yard! It’s a unique piece that adds movement and sound to the space—and we’re excited to see it all come together.

And yes… there’s also a gigantic rattlesnake addition near the fountain that’s definitely going to turn heads 👀 Shhhh it’s just Art!

A little bit of everything in today’s video—plants, projects, and something unexpected!

  1. Hi Joe, I'm surprised how well all the plants did after being boxed up and shipped. Looking forward to seeing the finished fountain, I have a rock waterfall in my front yard and another fountain that I bought a Lowe's and two more fountains in the backyard. Wow, what a big rattlesnake, very different, I have some yard art dinosaurs in my backyard that have the rusty look also.

  2. I subscribed a couple of months ago and I'm really loving your content. I'm from Northern IL and I find it very interesting to see how you garden in a completely different climate. I can't wait to see the new fountain in action! I order most of my Proven Winners plants online because there's more choices than I can find at my local stores. They usually look tired and stressed straight out of the box but do fantastic once planted.

  3. Hey Joe what a plant shipment I’ll send pix of my hostas mine do great in pots and. Huchara them petunias are awesome too on btw my turkey hen has hatch and still hatching peeps I’ll send pix of them ❤😊 but the plants will be fine just water fresh air they will bounce back 😊

  4. Proven Winner stands by their plants.
    Any problems e-mail them and they are great about sending replacements or refunds (from what I’ve been told)
    Can’t wait to see new fountain!

  5. That snake is incredible! And I can't wait to see the fountain when it's installed! Beautiful as always.

  6. Hi Joe and Aiden, I've seen PW ads and I've been curious. I had no idea we could grow hostas here. I'll be watching. The snake is awesome, but that fountain will be bad as$a very cool 😎

  7. Hi, Joe! I love everything I ever purchased from Proven winners. I'm sure, you will be pleased with your purchase. I love that snake, it's amazing! I know the fountain is going to be another great addition to your yard. You guys are so blessed.

  8. The rattle snake looks awesome in your yard, it fits in perfectly! How cool Aiden has such artistic talent, can't wait to see the fountain up and running ⛲

  9. Joe make sure you keep your hostas well watered. They love water. I have quite a few actually planted in my koi pond around the inside edges and in my wetland filter. They can handle more heat and a little sun, probably not your intense sun but will do better for you with lots of water

  10. Don’t know where they were shipped from but they all looked in decent condition as far as plants shipment goes. Way better than mine. I now only shop at homedepot for plants and flowers etc

  11. The rattlesnake!!!! Mad artistic skills!
    And new fountain!
    The garden walk is very pretty. Lots of blooms 💐
    Please keep us posted on how the Proven Winners plants do after your hot summer. The supertunias with fertilizer will be show stoppers.

  12. What a beauty that rattlesnake is! ❤ Aiden is definitely a master craftsman and can’t wait to see his art with your new fountain. Your videos are so heartwarming. ❤ Luv ya guys!🎉

  13. Looks great! Love the snake…. Can’t wait to see the fountain! Proven Winners all look pretty good! Can’t wait to see them planted! ❤

  14. Hi Joe and Aiden! Love love love the rattlesnake and the new fountain! Your front garden looks fantastic 😊

  15. Corolbelles and hostas are beautiful together! I just planted hopscotch today! The petunias that have green on edges are beautiful! Ok ….the rattlesnake is an awesome work of art!!! Love the beginning of the fountain…wish I had a welder..! Oh well…lol! Great video!! ❤
