Simply magnificent. I paused this video so many times to study color combos, texture, light. A dream garden.

I paused constantly to write down the species..outstanding 2:20

I loved the fact that I didn’t see one flower! Well, there might’ve been few, but there’s barely any annuals in this garden. I love my annuals/flowers! So for me to love this space and have it hold my attention the whole video, says a lot! Stunning!!!

One of the most beautiful properties I have ever seen. Plants, hardscape, water features, house. Loved it all. Great camera work at the end. Wonderful tour Jim and Stephany.

Dare to dream , I suppose. Only 1 plant is missing from this magnificent garden's video❤THE MONEY TREE😂. Thanks, Jim. That was beautiful!

Absolutely breathtaking! Who needs sunny flower borders when you can create something as tranquil and mesmerising as this. I also greatly appreciated the slow walk round at the end.

This garden is a work of art. I was hanging on every word of Mr. Sifford’s descriptions and landscape design insights. I also love that he achieves so much color variation without relying on annuals. Wow, wow wow!!!

I especially liked the discussion about transitions between spaces. It’s obvious that considerable landscape design went into this space. I love it.

Also giving explanations of when horizontal fencing vs vertical will work better, great to know.

Jim, thanks for asking questions about transitions and plant placement. Learned a lot from this video. The tapestry is gorgeous. Too bad many of those plants won’t thrive in my subtropical zone.

THIS is a dream garden to me... I love everything about it. Thank you so much Jim for this tour!

Many Many thanks to Jay for sharing his amazing design sense - Thank you to the homeowner for inviting us to enjoy their lovely garden - and thanks to Jim for connecting us with these lovely talented people 😊

I keep watching this video over and over. I stopped long enough to go to my local nursery to buy some plants, and now I'm watching it again. I guess you could say you've inspired me! 🌳

Mr Sifford's work is exceptional! He has managed to weave an Asian inspired garden into the Carolina metroplex with West coast DNA. Notice how he's able to completely blot out the traffic noise (Steph shows us just how loud at the end) while keeping the design soft,not claustrophobic. Jay's work immediately made me think of James Van Sweden. Really superior design❤

Well put! 👍

This is such an inspiring garden! I will definitely be rewatching multiple times to help me plan out my own garden.

Make no mistake about it, Jay is an artist. Stunning work and vision.

Perfection. Loved the first part with the explanations/identifications and absolutely adored the 2nd part with the silent above view and then walk thru at ground level. Thank you for letting us be guests to this beautiful landscape.

Thanks so much for that silent walk through the garden. I was thinking I’d watch without sound and then you did it for me. A wonderful experience!

Wow! What an amazing space! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your conversation. The silent walk-through at the end was breathtaking. Thanks, Jim, Steph, Jay, and the homeowner for sharing this space with us.

So much color and texture. He is a master

The Garden looked perfect for a movie set. Magical and Intimate vistas.

Yes...absolutely magical.💖

NO LANDSCAPE FABRIC!!! Thank you so much for talking about that. I don’t know why ppl are so unbelievably obsessed with fabric. I’ve never once used it in my life. As long as you put down at least 2 different sizes of rock/gravel/stone, preferably 3 different sizes, it WILL NOT move around and weeds will not be a problem. This design is genuinely impressive. Its VERY eye catching and has many, flashy, and picturesque “frames” everywhere, yet it shows so much restraint and is never overwhelming. As someone who has been doing landscaping and landscape design for a long time… I can tell you that finding the balance between a “filled in” design and overwhelming chaos is extremely hard to pull off and very rarely witnessed. This place should be in an educational textbook somewhere and should be the standard. I’m bout to watch it again.

In my mind, landscape fabric and sprayed popcorn ceilings are the two worst things ever invented. Kudos for not using it!

Big fan of Jay’s work and once again he does not disappoint. Thanks so much for sharing this garden tour.

Thank you both so much and Steph for filming. Jay once again you have shown us that live outside Charlotte your genius !

This garden is so relaxing and beautiful! Had a spa like feeling to it! Just gorgeous!

Thanks for making this video! Especially the silent and slow walk-through at the end. So much inspiration and diversity in plants, colors and textures! And with no grass and very few flowers. Simply amazing!

I’ve never seen a garden as beautiful as this one. Thank you for the tour. Wow! ❤

Wow! What a stunning landscape. There are so many good ideas to use in one's garden. I will be viewing this video again and again.

The textures in this garden is amazing! I love all of the different shades of greens too.

Wow, everything about this video is a 10! The design, the interview, the camera work. I’ll definitely be watching it again to jot down all the specific design tips Mr. Sifford shared. I especially liked his attention to transition areas in the landscape, which I find challenging to do well.

The drone footage really let the garden shine. The walk thru was lovely....but somehow my brain connected best with the overhead vision. Such a pretty place. I guess the plants absorb so much of the street noises also.

An unbelievable garden!! I could look at this video for hours. Thanks to all for sharing!!

That was absolutely stunning. I truly enjoyed hearing the thoughts behind the design but also just wandering through slowly at the end. Spectacular.

Makes me proud to be from North Carolina!

Oh wow, this place is magical! Beautiful home and beautiful landscaping.

Love it! Charlotte is full of incredible gardens, we had an Art in the Garden show last week and it was amazing. How wonderful that you had this opportunity to share!

He is a master of layering and texture! Thank You for the tour. Absolutely love tapestry !!!!!

Absolutely the most beautiful gardens so far! I see many ideas I need to incorporate into my garden! Thanks Jim!

This garden is beautiful and the design impeccable. Love love love this one!

Can anyone imagine living in that space? OMG.

The gnome is prob hanging out with all of the missing socks😂

Gotta make that profit.

Wow, what an amazing design. It felt almost sprawling and much bigger than a half acre.

My faves: the front slope, the concrete balls and pillars, and the contrast between dark purples and lime greens…

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks especially for the slow walkthrough at the end. A wonderful start to my day!

Man that carex underneath that Japanese Maple is GORGEOUS 💚 Love the cool colors in this garden AND that horizontal fence. WOW!!! THANK YOU for this tour, so many ideas 🌳🌳🌳🐕

Absolutely stunning. Definitely drawn to ground level throughout the property. Beautiful.

gorgeous, stunningly beautiful

Excellent space. Thank you to the home owner for allowing the tour. I liked the walk through at the end to get a second look.

The walk-through at the end was really nice. I couldn't tell whether the song sparrows were singing in my computer or outside. 😊 Very nice garden.

Such a sensational garden. Thanks so much for letting us tour with you, Jim! I could have watched this for hours! So many interesting plant combinations!

This tour was an absolute joy! Thank you!

Absolutely stunning design! So much inspiration! I will be watching this again!

This is absolutely amazing! Love all the different greens, textures and maples!

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for this tour. Inspirational

Hands down my next favorite home tour (Gibberson garden in Athens is #1) along with the mountain home of the same designer. Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for the incredible content!!

STUNNING 😍 Thank you for sharing!!

Woooooow! Very mature space and plants. So much care and attention to detail and flow. Great slow walkthrough was very helpful.

What a gorgeous garden, absolutely perfect.

This garden is so beautiful! I'll be watching these over and over. Thank you Jim for sharing!

Boy that’s a beautiful landscape there! I love all the colors and stonework that was done.👍😎❤️

Good format -- we get the thoughts of the designer and id of plants then a quiet stroll to enjoy the flow.

Absolutely phenomenal. I could never afford a landscape like that but it sure is lovely to see, and glean ideas from. Beautiful house. Oh to have that kind of $$ !!

Fabulous use of the space and the use of green. Thanks for bringing this to your channel

What an absolutely beautiful landscape! Thanks for the tour!

Stunning garden! I love the combination of color and texture!

I’d like you to do more tours of his designs, wow! So far, both have been amazing!

What a magically stunning garden. Just viewing is so calming. Thank you for sharing its beauty.

Unbelievable beauty Never have I seen such beauty Thank you for sharing

What a spectacular garden design. Thank you, for the tour.

Absolutely Stunning, Thank you for sharing !

What a treat to watch! Thank you Jim!

What a fabulous textural garden!

What an incredible garden! Jay is an extremely talented designer. Thank you for filming and sharing the video, I loved it!

Thai is a dreamy garden!

I grew up around fine Oriental tapestries. Maybe that's why I've always used the contrast, repetitions and texture in my designs. It's like painting or weaving with plants. Always more challenging because our pallets aren't static. Just a beautiful space, thank you for sharing!

This is so inspirational. I've been working on a Japanese theme for 7 years now. Richmond Va.

Fountain area is incredible. Great camera work at the end!

Wow, the Japanese maple and conifer combos are so nice, what great textures

What a beautiful garden! So serene!

That is just an amazing garden. So beautifully designed ❤❤

I love this garden! This is what I strive for my garden. I too love Japanese maple and I am in zone 9b California sacramento. And I grow all kinds of maples and conifers.

Wow. Loved the tour. Incredible space.

Glad to see you got to come to Charlotte. Next time you are in the area stop by the UNC Charlotte campus gardens. It's a nice hidden treasure of the University area.

One of my absolute favorite tours!

When I saw it was Jay I had to stop and comment. I haven’t watched the video at all yet. Just wanted to say that his other house with the barberry as a pop of color has changed my world. I’ve been on the hunt all season lol just loved that garden.

omg to be blessed with money for all this!!

Definitely one of the best gardens you have featured, loved it

So much to love in this garden but one great element is the use of stone (or those fiber concrete balls) as transitional elements. I love those stone pillars.

Amazing garden. I am a big fan of shrubs, Japanese maples and conifers plus a perennial here and there.

Nice garden, I really like a natural but intentional landscape.

Beautiful piece of property and the garden tutorial was worth the price of admission! We recently moved from a full-sun acre to a much more shaded one-acre property and so it was fun to see what we can do with a variety of sun/shade areas with transitioning them from one to the other. Jim, it's always like attending a master's class when watching your videos.

So much inspiration. Thank you for sharing this garden with us.

Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this space with us.

What a beautiful garden. Texturing throughout is incredible. Thanks Jim.

One of your best, Jim and STEPHANIE. What talent to have this green garden. Texture, texture, texture. I watched several times and will copy some design elements in my gardens in CT. Thx, Jim and !Stephanie!

Beautiful! Love the ASMR at the end!

This garden is lovely! It also doesn’t appear to be a high maintenance type garden even though its packed with a lot of plants.

Stunning! Foliage gardens are my favorite. They're so tranquil.

Wow! What a fabulous property. 💚

Wow absolutely gorgeous my kind of landscaping conifers and Japanese maples Japanese grass ❤️ 🌲

Thank you for this tour! Beginner gardener here soaking up the beauty and design ideas. And we just planted a juniper shrub “Old Gold” - exciting to see its cousin here. Appreciate his easy tips like placing a single stone as a “doormat”, using objects such as spheres in the distance to create sense of larger space. Beautiful tour. I’m inspired!

❤hello, Mr Jim putnam and Stephany, happy gardening. 😊 🙏.
