What a special place and such precious stewards of this incredible garden. Amazing tour Jim and Steph 👩🏻🌾🌲🍁🪴❣️
Jim – love everything you do but these garden features are top notch! I love hearing about the design process and why people selected which plants and how people discovered what was an unexpected standout in their garden. This goes for the home gardener or the Level 10 gardeners like Mr. Cox and his wife, Evelyn. I’m going to have to schedule a visit ASAP. Keep developing the great content – return visits are always welcome 🙂
Mr. Cox is a delight – I'm grateful for you and Stephany bringing us all the wise gardeners, like Tom and Evelyn. So 'make yourself useful' and keep up this (truly priceless) series!
Thank you, Mr. Cox, Jim and Stephany!! (Jim, I want at least half a course credit for this class. 😉 It was awesome, I learned so much!)
Thank you Mr. Cox and Jim. What a wonderful fall garden. Mr. Cox let fall in love with conifer!
Mr. Cox! What a lovely landscape you have! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Thank you Jim for visiting Mr. Cox and sharing your video. I hope to plant some of these beautiful trees.
Hey! My neck of the woods! Will be checking it out
Another amazing video. Thank you for taking us along!
Another fabulous conversation to be a part of. Thank you for sharing it with us 🙂
I must admit, I thought Jim was at Cox Arboretum in Dayton, Ohio. 😅
I definitely can relate to Mr. Cox when it comes to conifers. Here in zone 6b we've been adding many of them to our garden for winter interest. I enjoy looking out the window this time of the year and not seeing a 'horror movie' type of landscape where is everything is dead or dormant. Thank you Jim for this awesome video.
Oh my gosh what a spectacular landscape from Mr Cox and also what a true spectacular gentlemen as Mr Cox.. he has such a wonderful since of humor. Such a precious knowledgeable Man/Gardener and so appreciate his sharing of such gorgeous trees and conifers!! Thanks Jim & Stephanie for providing us on utube such glorious content as Cox Arboretum gardens !!!♥️
That was truly a treasure and such an informative video to watch. Mr. Cox has such a wealth of information and knowledge. Thank you for sharing this with us.
This gentleman is doing great work saving all of these trees. I loved the story about Korea! I could hang out there all day!
Favorite line: "Plants don't read books." All gardeners need to keep that in mind.
This man is a leader in saving the earth!
Please visit annually… your visit has definitely moved my goal to visit the Cox Arboretum up several notches on my wishlist; it was added as a travel destination last year, when international arborists (on social media) simply gush over the magical importance of the Cox preserve and trials of thousands of worldwide varieties. Tremendous garden. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing guy’s 🥰
Wonderful video. Mr. Cox is a great storyteller with fascinating tidbits. This garden is very deserving of a return visit.
Hah, Stephanie! What a great video. I knew that about gingkos, so I have the tiniest little gingko in a pot in my yard. I'm nervous to plant it out because I don't want it to die! Great tip about adding lime – my clay soil is surely acidic but I'll measure the ph when I pick a spot just to be sure it's necessary.
What a lovely garden! Thank you all. Wishing you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃. We are so blessed to enjoy your gardening expertise.
Great minds think (post videos) alike! The Mr Maple boys just posted five Cox Arboretum videos on their YouTube channel.
Jim, I gotta say right from the get-go, this has got to be, for me, one of your most inspirational videos! I could listen to Mr. Cox all day! He is such a font of gardening knowledge as well as a teller of plant stories, like gems. 👌✅❤️
Jim,
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your bringing us tours.of other's gardens, both private & public–sooooo enjoyable! Thank you! 😊
What a wonderful collection — very inspiring. I will be looking at my garden this winter with a view to enhancing the winter color with more conifers. The variation in color and texture really stand out when the deciduous foliage is gone. Steph is a great videographer — she conveys the poetry of plants and gardens beautifully.
Lovely humble, brilliant man.Hope to see his garden in person some day.
❤ favorite part was Mr. Cox telling Jim to make himself useful 😂😂😂 great video. I need more conifers. 🌲
Would love to see a tour during the growing season. Hopefully you will be able to make it back there again.
Loved this episode. Have you visited Mr Cox before? Are there other videos with him?
Thank you for the drone shots! I would love to walk through the Cox arboretum. Many thanks to the doctor for hosting.
Thanks so much, Jim and Steph, for bringing us to such a gorgeous garden. It was a treat to see a little sliver of the Cox collection, and to get a sense of Mr. Cox. What a special video and I'm happy that you plan to go back at some point. It is so inspiring to see how the trees are positioned – absolutely breathtaking!!! I've heard his book mentioned by other gardeners and now I may have to order it, even though I don't live in the South. Thanks again!
Omg I really loved watching Mr. Cox give us a tour of his beautiful work of art. I felt like it ended to soon too. It only made me crave more of what’s around the next bend. Please please please go back. ASAP!! I could get lost wandering around for hours and enjoy every minute of it. What an amazing place and an amazing historian
I love conifers ….my hubby doesn’t so I can’t plant many.😢well so far I have 28 on our 2 acres.
The things that Steph has to do to ensure the equipment is functioning properly is mind-buggling. Thank you for all your hard work behind the camera.
Wow!! Thanks Mr Cox for allowing Jim to share this beautiful garden with us! It sure is eye opening! With the array of gorgeous conifers Mr Cox has in his arboretum, I’m even more fired up to plant more trees especially evergreens. I hope one day down the line, my yard will be near 10% as beautiful as his yard! It’s absolutely breathtaking mix of colors, sizes, shapes and heights of beautiful trees!! I’ll be looking for Mr Cox’s book as I’m in process of selecting trees to plant in my yard. I don’t have the luxury like Mr Cox’s big yard and am in zone 8b where zone appropriate conifers are much more limited. I’ll have to do some homework to find the right mix of trees to create a colorful 4 season canvas!
Mr Cox and Jim, I’m really drawn to spruce trees, especially the blue ones. Would you help me find a few where I can safely plant them? What happen if I plant anything that is zone up to, say, 3-7, in zone 8b?
Thanks Jim for another great tour of magnificent gardens!! Thanks again and please keep it coming! 😃👏 🌳 🌲🌲🌳🌲🌲🌳🌲🌲🌳
So STUNNING 😍 I am in awe of all the beauty. Thank you Jim and Stephanie for taking us along. And thank you Mr. & Mrs. Cox and puppy for sharing your knowledge and wonderful collection. Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to you ALL.

Wow! So much to love. Great knowledge and beautiful specimens. Thank you.
🙏thank you so much for sharing your garden. The garden filled with lives and nature. The colors in the fall in your garden is amazingly beautiful. I learn a lot about conifers collection are beautiful. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL GARDEN. Happy Thanksgiving 🙏
Dude! Grandpa Cox started a arboretum the year I was born and now I am a professional horticulturist seeing this! YouTube algorithm is crazy 😮
This was great. What a great thing to capture for future generations. ❤
What a treasure both the garden and Mr Cox❤️
What a wonderful man! He is an inspiration and I thank you both for sharing your knowledge and gardens with us ❤️
Such an inspirational and enjoyable video. Thank you all and especially Mr. Cox. For all of us who cannot visit different gardens throughout the country it is truly a gift to get a glimpse of yet another amazing example of someone's passion for horticulture. Perfection!
