This gentleman has SUCH a teacher’s heart ❤️. I could listen to him all day. 🥰

This garden refutes the idea that a garden is all about flowers. It is the opposite of a house with evergreens along the foundation with a row of petunias in front. I love the sweeps of trees and plants beside paths and streams. Utterly enchanting!

Oh gosh, I love her so much! Her story and philosophy brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful, serene garden. I wondered about that bamboo and how she kept it in check, so thanks for sharing that about the barrier. Can't wait to see more of this garden!

What an absolutely stunning garden! It is so incredibly beautiful...and yet it pales in comparison to the lady who tends it. What an honor it is to listen to her. I would love to meet her!

Such a REMARKABLE woman! I adore her - her personality, her enthusiasm, the way she honors her past by giving and sharing her incredible garden - I am stunned by the beauty and love. Thank you for sharing this and letting us meet this wonderful gardener.

Dr. A is a wealth of knowledge ... this is a gorgeous garden ... but what an amazing, uplifting, inspirational story of a life from poverty to prosperity, not necessarily financially, but spiritually, emotionally. We should all, no matter our station in life, strive to live as this beautiful soul and to be happy in our "gardens" ... I am so thankful I found you, Jim, and your KZread - you have blessed me in so many ways - not enough words to express my gratitude ...

THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏.(my English lieding is very good, sorry)

What a treat to see this beautiful garden and its beautiful gardener. Her life story is so appropriate to hear the day before Thanksgiving. Thank you for including that in this video. Can’t wait to see more!

Oh my!! That is the most beautiful garden ever! I adore the trees, the structure, the colors and layers. What inspiration! Then to hear from her directly, she is just wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us, Jim and Dr. A! Would entirely love to see more of this garden in other seasons.

Thanks for watching. Be sure to stick around to the end to hear her how her cultural practices in the garden have evolved. I'll be back here soon to show off more of this beautiful garden.

Oh my gracious, I absolutely loved watching this video! What a treat it must have been, to meet the amazing gardener who transformed her landscape into such an enchanting place! She has created a true garden paradise filled with lovely pathways, waterfalls, and of course, gorgeous plants everywhere you look.

Breathtaking. Thank you, Jim, for allowing us the privilege to see this amazing private garden. Asian/Japanese gardens are my personal favorite, so seeing one on the channel was an awesome surprise. Ram is delightful and she has absolutely succeeded in sharing something beatiful with the world.

She is as much of a treasure as her garden is! I really enjoyed this video!

Ram is truly enjoying her life! I got emotional hearing her story, she is wonderful. All the work she has done is incredible and has made a spectacular garden! Thanks Jim for showing us!

Absolutely stunning. As the kids say, "Goals".

Ram’s(not sure spelling)garden is definitely a labor of love! She has done a beautiful job! Thank you so much for the tour!

Oh my she’s wonderful!

She really is!!

I gave up my neurotic tidiness this year. Leaving Hosta, daylilly spent stalks leaves a spot for young spiders to have a spot to weave, eat & grow. Dr. A is so right, if we garden seeking perfection, we won't take time to enjoy it. Lovely garden!

I love her. She is amazing positive person. Thank her for sharing this with us. Beautiful

The water feature is so incredibly natural looking!

Agree that leaves are part of the garden decor in the fall, not a mess. I just keep mine off the lawn and otherwise they're put on the beds. God's confetti.

Ram is unbelievable. Her story had me crying. So wonderful to channel pain into giving beauty. Outstanding

Ram's statement of using chemicals and how it affects not just the single animal you're trying to eradicate, but also the worms and birds was beautiful. Really wish more people would understand that.

This was such a nice peaceful diversion from reality. I think gardeners should be running the country.

Absolutely stunning garden and philosophy. Ram is such a joy to watch and her passion has created such a haven! Looking forward to seeing more tours of this spectacular garden!

I was expecting another excellent garden tour from Jim and dr A but Ram’s heartfelt story took the video to another level. Thank you for including it in the video.

What an incredible garden and gardener who loves it deeply! I love that even though she had the desire and energy to plant and build the garden she also recognized and accepted Dr. A's deep knowledge and guidance to do what was best for the plants and garden itself and ultimately for her and other's enjoyment of it also! I do hope it will be possible to talk again with the owner and see her garden at other times of the year. 😀💖💖👍

What a wonderful garden!! I took a natural flora and fauna class in college where we learned to identify plants out where they grew. We learned to identify trees not only by their leaves but by their bark and other characteristics. Best class I ever took. I’m sure Ram can tell you all her plants because she cares for them and the space where they grow. Thank you for sharing this garden; it’s fabulous!

Thank you for introducing us to this lovely woman with a beautiful story.

I read a quote; I can’t remember who said it, but, it made quite an impression on me. “To plant a garden is to believe in the future.”

What a visual treat!!!!

Watching this on Thanksgiving, Ram, you are an amazing person. Such a heartwarming story about your life. You made me so thankful for all I have and how blessed I am. Your garden is so serene and peaceful. Your family and friends are so blessed! Thank you Jim, you never disappoint.

Oh my this garden is just unreal!! Thanks so much Jim & Dr A for this awesome tour!! Also thanks to Ram for sharing her story she is too cute!!👍❤️

She s lovely, I love her. You ve got to return and show us more.I love her philosophy just to plant. She s so grateful. She s suffered so much but, God has bless her to heal that pain. Now, she s sharing her love of the world and plants.

What an amazing woman! We are all better for her. What an amazing garden and inspiration!

Thanks Jim for bringing this segment to us! Truly appreciate your guests. True meaning behind her gardens. Beautiful

Dang .... she had me crying. What a great story ❤️❤️❤️❤️. It spoke to my heart so deeply. She can create so much beauty because she has so much beauty inside.

Her story had me in tears. Such a beautiful garden grown from the beautiful heart of such a lovely lady.

Imagine a world where politicians had to be a gardener first. Ram captures the soul of being human

I love watching this fabulous video. Absolutely an amazing garden. Should probably be heritage listed in the future at the end of Rams life and looked after for future generations to enjoy just the same chemical free way x 🐦🐛🦋🐝🐜🐞🕸️🕷️🐌🌻

This is such a sweet interview. Ram’s love for gardening and really - life shows. Thank goodness she met Dr. A.

What a sweet woman with great accomplishments. Oh, and the garden is gorgeous

Absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait to see more. What an inspiration.

Make sure you thank that lady for her story. It really hit home for me. Beautiful garden. Can't wait to see it in all the seasons. Hope to have one myself one day.

Thank you to you all for great comments. All the sports and shear of the garden. It is worm my heart. I love Dr A and Jim and looking forward to see thim hear. So we could share more. Thanks again. I love you all. 😍

Wonderful garden. Thank you for the tour. Such a sweet story by owner. She has done hard work and her garden is deserved to be seen!

Oh my! Such a beautiful space and I absolutely love Ram (hope I am spelling correctly). She has such a wonderful spirit. I haven't even watched the video completely because I just needed to stop and say THANK YOU for sharing such a treasure with us! Wonderful wonderful wonderful in so many ways. (edited to add: I am so looking forward to you visiting this garden again and sharing more with us!)

I loved Dr A’s tour in Rams beautiful gardens. So inspirational - thank you Jim !!

if I could spend 2 days walking side by side with this lady through this unbelievable place . It would bring peace to my ❤️ heart.

Thankful for Hortube in providing us all with garden wisdom home gardeners can use, as well to bringing us to gardens we strive towards.

“We do and then we share.”❤️

I had AWESOME professors at Auburn in horticulture (Ponder, Sibley, Eakes, Williams, etc.). However, I would LOVE to have taken just one class with some of their UGA counterparts. Armitage and Dirr seem to be special people to the green industry. This was fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

What a sweet lady and what a beautiful garden! Goals! Thanks for sharing!

I gave up on having an English border a couple of years ago, and now the idea of having a formal garden is slipping away. I live over the border from Seattle and am surrounded by cedars and firs. I think this is an option which will work better. I just have a hard time with vision for the place. This is inspirational...I, too, hope to see it in another season. Thanks for sharing.

So beautiful can’t wait to see it again. That’s a lot of hard work, thanks for sharing with us and thank her for allowing us to view her garden.

Mister Jim Putnam, love gardening. He took that love and shares with us. I learn from him every week. . Thank you so much for showing the great ways to the great gardening.🙏

This one is good for the soul. Beautiful garden and gardener.

Wow just amazing and you can see all the work that has been put in. Please do a follow up to this in the Spring and Thank you for sharing.

Once again Jim you took us on an adventure of learning! Than you. Thank you! I love your enthusiasm and your resourcefulness. I’m always inspired by your videos. This woman gardener is an amazingly creative, hard working, and more then a survivor of poverty. There are so many lessons to learn just from her life. Of course Doctor A with his easy going personality and humor helps us realize that gardening is not only a labor of love but also humor and joy.

She has a beautiful heart! What an amazing property!

Amazing garden. Your tours brighten my day. Keep them coming.

Thank you so much for sharing this gloriously beautiful interesting and yet so natural garden! Eco friendly is such a wonderful bonus!! The owner is a bundle of strong loving energy and her garden provides her a respite and give back of balance a yin yang !! Thank you again!!❤️❤️🥰

Two of my favorite guys and a tour an amazing and beautiful garden! Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Dr Allan Armitage have the important teacher in my life. He teaches me a lot about plants . I am Grateful for Dr Allan Armitage. Thank you so much for the great teacher that you are. ❤️

Ram (not sure of spelling yet) is pure joy! I can see why Dr. A adores her. I would LOVE to stroll this garden with them. Such beauty and a peaceful, joyous energy abounds!

Thank you for sharing this with us. Not only is her garden gorgeous but her outlook on life and gardening! I can relate to trying to start a garden from scratch and hope mine can be half as beautiful one day. Love it.

So many beautiful lessons in this video….thanks for sharing this incredible garden and tour! The homeowners journey in creating this special place is inspiring. I just love Dr. A’s approach to gardening…..it really is about looking forward and also taking time to enjoy the gifts of the present moment. Happy Thanksgiving! 💚🙏

I just love her wisdom….. took me A good while to get there but I am Definately apprexisting the gifts that I have been given. Poverty creates a hunger, and driving force for People

Such a special garden tour. It shows us that gardening is a life long passion.

Thank you so much for the wonderful video. I can't wait to see this beautiful garden again and learn more about it and the owner.....I just loved her....I am a master gardener and I so appreciate all her hard work. Enjoyed the Dr as well....please please bring them back. Alwsys enjoy your channel, I learn so much. C burg Pa.

Best video yet, Jim! I just love Ram! For me, her story and how grateful she is to do what she does is so sweet. I didn't need to know a thing about the garden after that! But all in all, a great, and inspirational video.

What an absolutely beautiful garden! Ram, you're adorable with your infectious laughter. You made me start laughing too.

Hi this ram giberson, I am Grateful that you still watching the video. The spring is coming, I'm muching the garden. Putting flowers in pots. Planting vegetable. I 'm have a great fun. Hope you all are having fun. Thank you so much for watching.

Spectacular!!! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing garden. I loved everything about this video!!! Gardeners are the best people ❤

She is adorable. Beautiful garden. What a great learning experience to be able to learn from this garden.

Her gardens are fabulous, but her story is what makes it so special. What an amazing journey!

Powerful. I’ve watched all the videos on Ram and Tom’s garden, found this one last….and it is the most touching… God bless you all ❤ and thank you for sharing

Dr. A is so inspiring!

I adore Ram! She is so inspiring and beautiful! Please come back!❤

Love this garden & it’s wonderful owner! Please!!! Visit her again !!!

What a beautiful, emotionally rewarding tour, Jim. I got a kick out of Dr A, his personality is fun and his knowledge of plants is evident, of course. I love his natural style of teaching that uses common sense and notices little things we all love in a garden like “walking under things,” that others might not have mentioned -these are little nuanced experiences we have in gardens and nature that we don’t often think about but they add to our enjoyment. And Ram was so lovely, with life wisdom and a beautiful spirit that brought me to tears. I wish her realization of creating beauty not only for herself but for the ecosystem could be shouted out to the world (or at least suburbia). Her recollection and horror of seeing the worms die when using the chemical pesticide should be shared with all gardeners. People just don’t think about other creatures and the ecosystem, at least for the most part. And that is killing our pollinators, birds, amphibians. It makes me sad but I am glad to see a gardener like Ram doing her part. Thank you for the inspiration and I look forward to another tour, hopefully in the spring!

I just love her so much!!!!! Amen, I totally agree.....God Bless!

Wow what a beautiful garden and gardener! Love this so great to see Dr A again also.

This is an absolutely amazing garden! Thanks everyone! Happy turkey Eve! 🦃
