I really love the composition, too, including the hardscape!
What a beautiful space. Big job that doesn't look over done, very nice. Proud of UGAs contribution to the industry, nice instillation! You may have to do a follow up video Jim ☺️
Jim, Thank you so much for covering this landscape. These natives are in my range and I love to see how they are incorporated in a southern coastal landscape. Great inspiration!
Love that merging of the marsh and the landscaping. I have such tree envy, too. Live oaks are so amazing, especially when they get some age on them. Have fun on Tybee Island! I need to get back there soon.
Tybee Island is an amazing vacation! This island is beautiful too. Thanks for taking us along.
Wow Jim, I have to say that is an amazing piece of property done so well. So different from where I am south of Chicago. Really gorgeous. The guy did an outstanding job. I am really enjoying these traveling tours to different parts of the U. S. Jim. TY

Thank you so much for watching them!
As a coastal gardener on a similar barrier island, deer very much dictate what can be planted. Unfortunate reality is that many ornamentals can not be used because deer will ravish. Not mentioned but did notice some split leafs which are excellent choices for the rear shade garden. Beautiful property!

Good eye, I completely passed by them and then was reminded of it while editing 🤣
Deer are crazy to contend with. This year they have eaten a clethra and a sunshine ligustrum in my yard, but just down the road is a row of arborvitae that are untouched. Beautiful creatures, but always hungry!
Love Savannah & the islands. Used to love on Wilmington Island…we hope to move back eventually.
Beautiful and peaceful 🌸💕🌸
Stunning!!!!
I hope you brought back a bunch of those palms Jim!
That property is breathtaking! Lucky lady to be living in her own little slice of heaven! Thanks for the tour Jim. Just beautiful!!
Live oaks are amazing trees often living hundreds of years. Children love to climb on them in City Park in New Orleans.
Jim you remind me of my dad on vacation. He was a farmer and no matter where he went he always ended up talking to and touring farms. lol If you love your job then life becomes your job and vacation. Lots of thought, planning, labor, and time goes into making something special!
I love it! Jim, how interesting to see this. Victory Gardens is doing a fabulous job. Congratulations to their success and keep planting.
This is a beautiful place. I am so envious of the live oaks, and the ajuga there is spectacular. I too prefer the vitex over crepe myrtle. Our crepe myrtles here in OKC have a white scale that is really ugly. I plan to replace all of ours next year.
Beautiful, it’s coming together really wonderfully. ps. I’m in Garner NC and my pineapple guava is actually fruiting this year.
Love your show. Very informative. Would be nice to see your project a year later to get a better understanding of what it will look like. TIA.
Nice candidates for under our live oaks and water oaks as well as where it stays wet.
Live oaks to me are so magical and absolutely beautiful !!!
This looks as if it is the eastern marsh side of the island. Great tour and great job landscaping in a beautiful location. Yes, deer dictate what will survive.
Loved watching this.. that landscape with the live oaks is a dream. I just love the landscape down there. Red buckeyes are great trees; ours used to defoliate early in the Oklahoma summer heat and was happiest in cooler, wetter springs.
Alex! You are a great host, and these gardens are beautiful.
Thank you, Jim and Alex! How lovely!
Very interesting plants and landscape. Beautiful view also. Thanks for showing hope to see more like this
Thanks Jim.🌺💚
What a difference a zone or two makes, huh? Gorgeous and very interesting to see such a beautiful environment being made more beautiful. I kept imaging an alligator wandering into the space. Is that the area it could happen? Those paths are such an enhancement. I want one. Thanks everyone.

If you live in the coastal southeast gators are a way of life. Besides the landscape we've had them in our garden water feature, walkways and even garage. While generally very territorial they do move around at times!
Absolutely beautiful 🌼🐝
Another great video, love your travels!
Excellent
Beautiful trees Thank you for sharing 🌿
The only thing I could think about for the first half of the video was why hasn't Jim mentioned those live oaks.
Not related to this video, but not sure where to ask unrelated questions. Jim, I watched your video on Blue Point Juniper. It was very thorough but did not reveal the best time to plant them. I'm in Zone 9, San Antonio. Thanks for your help.
If you come a little further south on 95 to Amelia Island, FL I can give you a tour of my Linda Vater inspired garden.
Beautiful tour. What are the large finger like plants planted to the right of the variegated ginger at the 11:35 min mark of the video? Are those mahonia?

Split leaf philodendron. House plants in colder climates but can be grown outdoors in zones 8b and above.
Raised gardens need more water . Because sides allow for evaporation of water faster. Plant in ground improve soil.

I agree with you, but some people are older and can't bend down or they have very rocky soil or some sort of soil issue that may have a leftover from poor farming practices. I'm all about building soil, but there are times it makes sense. Thanks for watching.
I'll be visiting Savannah in 2 weeks! Any suggestions besides the local botanical gardens would be welcomed. 😁

The savannah botanic garden is pretty small. The best thing to see in Savannah is all the squares and go into the neighborhoods and see the little hidden gardens where you can.
Beautiful but you left out the alligators!
I don’t think European fan palm would be considered reliably cold hardy long term in a southern zone 7b. May get lucky in a good microclimate through a few mild winters but eventually a bad winter would take it out. I’ve never had them last below 15f but one in town made it for a few years. A dry climate 7b which they prefer is very different from our wet cold 7b here in the south which is what gets them. You never really see long term mature European fan palms outside zone 8b here in the south. Our native palms are great alternatives as they are adapted to our wet cold winters. Dwarf palmetto (Sabal minor) is native as far north/inland as zone 7b areas here in Mississippi, Alabama, and other southern states. They are reliably cold hardy long term in 7b and I know people who grow them in zone6 up north. Needle palm is another good native palm for 7b and along with dwarf palmetto considered the most cold tolerant in the world however needle palms aren’t fully cold hardy until mature. Saw palmetto is cold hardy in 7b but needs very well draining sandy soils here. Sabal palmetto a large trunking native species is also cold hardy down to 7b but may take damage to leaves if temps dip below teens. I grow all of these native palms here in NE MS 7b/8a. There are quite a few more species native and non native and different varieties or eco types of Sabal palms we can grow in 7b too. Great videos! Love the channel. Wish you would do a native/cold hardy palm video lol.
In a rich neighborhood like that, I’m surprised they don’t take steps to control the deer population. When they are overpopulated they do a lot of damage to the environment.
