Landscape Tour – No Lawn – In this video I do a tour of one my new neighbors landscapes. It is a small urban lot that has been maximized with amazing landscaping and no turfgrass. It is basically divided into small private rooms that make you forget that you are in the city.

The side path is really inviting with the different plant levels and texture of the path. Nice job
I liked this garden. I also have a very shaded yard. Mine is much larger, but I got lots of ideas of plants I can use from this video. Thank you.
I absolutely love this type of yard. I still like a little grass, but I love this gardeners use of old fashioned plants that last. Beautiful rooms!
Great garden tour, these smaller yards are more helpful to me an I am trying to grow the Nelly Stevens hollies from whips, so that was nice to see them grown….. while I impatiently wait for growth. Thank you.
This was a very nice walk thru the garden. I could see it was a long and well established garden. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to some more garden tours.
BEAUTIFUL Jim!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! I too have a very shaded backyard and an always looking for new ideas! This gives me great ideas!!! Thank you!! 👍
Thank you for sharing your expertise Jim! Great for inspiring creative ideas for gardening!
I'm new to your channel. This is great. What part of the country is this in?
Jim, it would be helpful if you could say which part of the US you're showing. As much as I love hydrangea in my part of Australia it isn't possible, even though I have a shady garden.
Love the gardening glove tan line haha! That's how you know this guy's authentic.
Wow, that's so gorgeous! Even the invasives add to the beauty…but hopefully they replace the invasives eventually with natives. I LOVE the privacy. I'm hoping I can achieve that in my yard. I would love to see a yard that is up on a hill that has privacy, if you can tour one like that, it would be so amazing. Thanks for the video! 🙂
I wish there were more natives. This concept would be amazing with natives and the pollinators it would attract
Great video. I’m building a new arbor this spring and wasn’t certain if I wanted a vine or rose. Zone 6a and I believe this garden has opened up my choices. Thank you.
Plants do not filter out sounds. Only solid earth can do that.
👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Very nice concept to tour your neighbor’s gardens. Quite lovely! (Would be so much better if you s.l.o.w.e.d d.o.w.n!)
I had to re watch the part about the Camilla! How big was that!?? Looked huge! I had know idea thru could get so large. Gorgeous garden!
new subscriber here! thanks for your videos! this garden really inspired me. I guess I never knew how to explain what type of garden i'd like to have one day– but now I have a visual reminder! I'll be gardening in zone 6b, so some of these plants are probably off limits for me but I really like the feeling of privacy each " room" gives– not to mention the sense of discovery! thank you again for sharing!
I just love a good Garden tours 💚 with little rooms or little nitches, to just hang out in. Iam CHEAKING out all your gr8 video its been crappy cool weather last 3 days Here in Rehoboth beach delawere.
This yard feels so cozy. I actually liked how they didn't tidy everything up for the tour and left a towel on the chair and left the fallen pine needles strewn about. It just felt relaxed and welcoming, not manicured and pretentious. I have a lawn, which I like for the kids to run around, but I'm working on creating nook-like rooms for that have this feel around the house.
That's a very beautiful garden!! We wanted to create our home garden similar to yours, but soil and climate in Maryland didn't allow us to do that. We still love our gardens. It is a good idea to have no lawn = no work to cut grass. But we love green, so cutting grass is a good exercise anyway…😁
How interesting ! I do like the fact that there is no lawn. A gorgeous garden ! Thanks to Mr Putnam and the owner of this property. It's always striking to me when I see plants in a southern garden as a perennial, while where I live, they are house plants because of cold winters. English ivy, elephant ears, camellia. What a gorgeous garden ! Thank you
Hi, came iver from Sawyer Ridge Farn, new friend, I just subbed to you. I am the African Lion, my channel shows what can be grown in a small backyard.
Love the garden tours!
Do the nellie s grow wide at all or stay slender?
Beautiful!
Lovely!
I like it if it were more formal and less ground cover for snakes and mice.
Beautiful garden. I really enjoy the tours
Enjoyed your video! What is missing for me is climate context. I wonder… how does your local climate compare to mine? Where is this garden? Annual rainfall? How cold does it get there and how will the plants fare through the winter? Thank you!
What a stunning, stunning landscape! Thank you so much for showing it to us!!!
Amazing garden, I’m sure many years in the making.
Absolutely gorgeous garden! Well done to your neighbors and nice tour. 🙂
Очень красиво! Жаль нет русских субтитров…
A plant lovers garden, stunning. Thank you. 👌💕
Enjoyed this greatly. Would love to see a few more “no lawn” gardens. My goal is to get rid of most of our turf here in Medford, Oregon (zone 7). Thanks for your videos.
What area of the country are you doing the landscape tours in? What planting zone? Thanks.
Nice tour. I've opted to leave a bit of lawn between my beds in my new garden, but it's interesting to see a garden where they've gone the other way.
where are you? What city
What a wonderful garden tour, I love the idea of no lawn to cut.
Nice landscape. You seem to be in the south. Somewhere in Georgia, perhaps?
Would love to see a street view of this property.
What state is this? Enjoyed
Oh no! I was hoping the no-lawn garden would have more natives. There are a bunch of invasive species in there – Ligustrum sp. and Liriope sp. The Nellie Stevens holly is a nuisance in my garden. The English ivy of course is a beast. Spotted spurge is a fun alternative to non-native mondo grass for the gaps between pavers. Oh, thanks Jim! You mentioned the invasives halfway through.
I LIKE seeing a garden in its non-prime season. Still completely lovely — and, VERY inspirational.
You referred to these as foundation plants. How close can they be planted to the side of a house? I'm working on a flower bed that runs on the side of my house. I have two of these (haven't planted yet) and may pick up a third. I'd like them close to the house but I'm not sure what is "too close" to the house. Thank you and I love your videos!
Where is this? I've been looking for garden information/tours for Zone 10; this seems to be it.
I'm so impressed how you knew absolutely every single isolated plant by name!
I don't like it
Really loved this garden!
