    Can’t ever get enough of Ram’s garden. Her front yard seems different than the back yard. I’d love to see a wider angle of the front yard. But good heavens her gardens are beautiful. Thanks for sharing

    I'm getting more and more into limbing certain trees up, to provide more light for understory growth. My yard has gotten shadier over the course of many years, and this is a way to bring back more light.

      My big Oaks are making too much shade but my birds love the low limbs. We may need to compromise.

    Hi Jim and Stephanie 🌻. Again, thank you very much for your introduction to Ram Giberson and her beautiful garden via CZcams and for being so very gracious on Sunday with your time. When Ram shared that you and Stephanie were going to be visiting around the same time my intern and I were, I asked if we needed to reschedule because I know you film multiple videos when there. Ram was like, "No." She then wanted to know if I'd like to meet you. Without hesitation, I said, "Of course I would." I don't think Ram or I could have been more excited about the opportunity. It's just not often that one gets the chance to thank two amazing people living many many many miles apart and from different worlds on the same day in the very place that united them all virtually. When I talk about the Giberson Garden, I call it the Sanctuary because, for me, it's just that. You and Stephanie have done an exceptional job covering it through the years and I had no idea that there was even a playlist, which Esmerelda and I have binged watched since returing home. Best always!

  • @kathrynmettelka7216
    @kathrynmettelka7216 Před měsícem +2

    Love the layering! Classic Southern gardens in New Orleans etc. are layered to create outdoor living spaces in long, hot summers. A/C didn’t exist to any extent before WWII, so gardens functioned as cooling devices as well as beautiful spaces.

  • @katiekane5247
    @katiekane5247 Před měsícem +2

    Being observant of how the light plays in your space makes shade gardens most interesting. I'm constantly surprised at how plants that are considered sun perennials will find a happy spot in high shade. Ram has such an eye for texture and use of space. One of my favorite gardens and not far from me. My nephew graduated from UGA this year, he's headed to Chapel Hill to pursue his Masters. He's studying both botany and entomology..

  • @jenniferhooks2454
    @jenniferhooks2454 Před měsícem +1

    The Gibberson garden is SO interesting. Ram certainly thinks outside the box. This video gives me an idea for a camellia that definitely needs limbing up.

    Great video! Ive been limbing up recurve ligustrum for several years now. For some unknown reason the builder used them as foundation plants in my neighborhood. Ive moved them from the foundation to along my fence line. They are now 15 to 20 feet tall, but i can walk under them with no problem.

  • @itsmekristy

    I just tree formed my gold mop cypress, it's about 3.5 ft! I also have hinoki cypress that was planted in 80% hard shade, I moved it to a little more sun to work on as a specimen bonsai. It's about 6ft and very sparce and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Glad to see both of those in this video!

    A lot of people don’t realize that there is so much you can do with shade. Perfect example here. I have to think all that shade is a relief in July in the South.

    Are you concerned with disturbing the roots of an existing shrub/tree when underplanting under it? This is a beautiful garden, thanks for posting this.🌻🌷🏡

    • @annakasikkink7489
      @annakasikkink7489 Před měsícem +1

      I had a similar question about root competition. Is it hard to get new plants established under a more mature shrub/tree? I have some boxwoods planted around the drip line of a loropetalum that I'm limbing up as it grows. The boxwoods struggled coming out of winter this year and I think it's because the loropetalum is stealing all the moisture.

    • @cory_aqua
      @cory_aqua Před měsícem

      Depends on maturity, shrub/ grass roots around a small tree will compete for nutrients.

    Since Ram’s garden is so full how much maintenance do they do? It is so extensive I would imagine it would take a lot of upkeep? Or is this the dense planting method you talk about for less maintenance?

    • @katiekane5247
      @katiekane5247 Před měsícem +2

    I like how this garden has been allowed to develop. I know you are probably on a different track with CZcams, Southern Living, Etc. but your own garden would be much improved if you would "go with it" rather than constantly pruning things down.
