Am I the only one to find it so precious to see Jess walk into a garden center and start nibbling on the plants? 😊

“I need this.” When I was a kid, my parents were obsessed with ornamentals in their yard…I used to scoff because I thought it was a waste of time and lacked utility…I grew food because it was useful. And as an artist, how could I dismiss aesthetics?!?! It’s in the past few years I have come around. You have helped me appreciate that beauty DOES have true purpose and value. So good for our eyes and souls! 💚🌱

His yard is so perfectly manicured and beautiful. I love all of the contrasting colors and textures of plants. Stunning!

Matthew’s flower beds are amazing.

Love seeing a video from you today! I’m loving on a little sweet girl… just adopted 2 puppies from an unwanted litter and they were really sick- one died last night and I’m nursing the other one back to health. It’s like having a new baby! If you all could send some healing vibes and prayers I would appreciate it❤ her name is violet and she is an Australian shepherd and schnoodle mix. I’m praying she keeps some food down today 🫶

You are so brave to dig in Matthew's flower beds! They are so pristine! I would feel like a bull in a china shop.

How Extremely SPECIAL is it to see this...how blessed am I to see it??? Makes my heart so happy, and I love how the rain is coming down. Thank you and your family and all involved for sharing this adventure. It is has very much so been worth it. (Matthew, your garden is stunning!)

I wish people could see the importance of natives as a way to balance beauty in the garden with also being beneficial. As humans, we have an amazing opportunity to combine both beautiful gardens with functional spaces that can support our native bees and butterflies.

That’s the thing about gardeners, we’re always happy to share, whether it be starts, slips, bulbs, extras or knowledge. We’re always pulling for other gardeners to succeed. Mathew is a very generous friend. Thanks for taking us along on the tour.🌱🌱🌱 From CA 🏖️ take care

😂😂😂 The look on your face when he was describing the Curry plant as you snuck a nibble of the leaf.. my goodness you make me smile.

His yard is beautiful and so full of life. All of the birds singing in the background. What a wonderful place. And what a delightful young man he is. Definitely is a fun person to have as a friend. And that red obsidian banana tree was gorgeous! I am so tempted to get one, if it comes in a dwarf variety. I am more of an English cottage garden style person for my own garden. But in 2019 I bought an old house with a huge green Banana tree by the front steps and it has turned into several HUGE Banana trees. They completely shade out everything near them, so I keep dividing them and giving them all away. But they just keep coming back bigger and with even more pups then I can give away. I have even over whelmed my Puerto Rican neighbor who uses the leaves to make delicious roast pork dishes that are cooked in banana leaves and served with rice also rice cooked in banana leaves. Last winter in December, we had an ice storm and got down to 14 degrees below 0 plus the windchill, and every banana tree was deader than a door nail. I was so happy that they were gone and I wasn’t the one who killed them. During the Spring I had Covid for over 2 months and I was too sick to get out of bed let alone replant anything.(yes,against my will, I got the vaccine. Turns out the new variant attacks the vaccinated people worse then it does the unvaccinated people!) The first time I went out side my front door it was Summer and those darn banana trees were back with twice as many plants and they were up to the roof of my house and had huge beautiful leaves blocking the entire front stairs. I don’t know if it’s God or satan that has the wicked sense of humor, I am sure that someone was laughing when I saw my front yard looking like a tropical jungle all overgrown with Johnson grass taller than corn and banana trees.😂😂😢 So if I give in and get one of those beautiful red obsidian banana bushes, it is going to be confined to a very large pot. Does anyone know of an organic way to kill Johnson grass??? I am thinking about covering it with cardboard and some unopened bags of potting soil for a year, but I live next to a Karen and if she doesn’t like something, (and she can always find something in my garden that she doesn’t like)she calls the city codes violation department and has me fined. One time when thieves broke into my basement and stole my lawn mower and weed eater she got my other neighbor to spray the entire outside of my chain link fence that runs the length of the alley with Round up, (on a breezy day.) They killed a gorgeous 62 year old tree size Rhododendron in my backyard and a 62 year old oak tree. Not to mention a drift of daffodils, and the a third of my lawn that has now been replaced with Johnson grass. That alley was on the far side of my property away from her property, so she had no business having my property sprayed. But as I said, someone around here, has a sense of humor. I know because that very Fall a big gust of wind missed my house, but caused the dead oak tree to fall, crushing her fence and peach tree. Of course the city fined me for that too.😮 But I did get in the last word, that “if she had minded her own yard which is full of junk cars and let me tend my own garden with organic methods that oak tree would still be alive and would not have fallen in the wind and she could still be eating her own peaches!!!”

Hey 💝 Welcome to Ohio 😊 I’ve been watching your videos for YEARS 🥰 I live in Ohio Akron Cleveland area and I have grown lots of new stuff vegetables and fruit trees and I just know it’s because the BELIEF you give us all on how growing food is beautiful and gracious ♥️☺️ I’m thankful 💐😘

I've been watching Matthew's channel for over a year. His garden is beautiful and he's so funny. I will divide....lol.❤😊

So happy to see a video from the great state of Ohio. I have lived here for 55 years. I love to garden. I hope you had a wonderful visit.

Matthew's garden has filled in so beautifully! Amazing.

There is something so satisfying and terrifying about the crunch when dividing perennials. So much beauty. Excited to see where you add everything!

I always like to share that those curry leaves are the richest source of plant based iron.. they seriously helped me to keep my levels up during pregnancy. I dehydrated those leaves, powdered them, and put them in capsules to take. They worked better than anything I could buy!

What a beautiful garden. It is always nice to be able to get plants from friends and family.

Can't believe you were in Ohio! You were only 15 minutes away from my home. I am so jealous you got to meet a friend of mine. She texted me a picture of you and her. Welcome to Ohio!

What a gorgeous garden Matthew has. And that garden center!!! Oh my goodness!! I could live there!!!

Awesome ,so pretty! Mathew is a true talent, thank you for ahowing us His Art🎉. JO JO IN VT 💞

*GOSTEI MUITO DESTA FOTO NUMA FOLHA DE BANANEIRA 👏🏻*

I love that you drove knowing you were bringing back a trunk/truckload of materials home, the very reason we drive to FL to see family, and hitting the nurseries in the areas allows me to buy things for better prices and unavailable things to my NC area. I do have a haul of tropicals that must overwinter inside the house and I am making a "plant" room to house them and also to start all my seeds inside. I plan to pick up a mandarin orange or 2 on our next trip down because I have a space next to the house with overhang enough to protect it through the winter. Watching David the Good's youtube channel will show how to create microclimates to push your zone from 7b to 8b or even a 9.

I love my horseradish plant! It comes back every year. I have it contained in a large pot. Every Christmas, I make homemade horseradish sauce for the prime rib. Better than any store bought sauce!! The variation is gorgeous 😍

Welcome to Ohio! 🎉I’m in central Marion County.

Welcome to Ohio Jess. I live in Cincinnati. Weather has been ucky, but glad you got to see some great plants. Great shoutout to Natorp. You are so blessed to have such a good friend.

Matt us one of my favorite. I live in his area.❤️❤️lookind forward to watching.

Oh I do love a Mathew video. His garden is just so beautiful, well thought out. Logical with an eye for beauty.

I love Matthews channel! I’m always so thankful when you get back together

His garden is so lovely, amazing you were able to take so many cuttings/divisions! What a great day!

It is crazy how I have to watch your channel to find out about things in Ohio. Now I have new places to visit. I will have to start watching Mathew's channel!

And catching up on a few of your videos, my dear friend thank you so much for sharing another great video and letting us know where you’re off to again, you’re always traveling and doing some thing you are just awesome. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy, and Debbie.

Behind the scenes at the nursery is fascinating! Great to know that someplace (not terribly far away) actually cultivates and sells curry plants, they are incredibly hard to come by in the Americas and Europe. There is absolutely no flavor like them.

I am so privileged to have a little curry tree. I had it in morning sun before, but our summer sun is too harsh. It is happy now under another tree with strong, but no direct light.

He has beautiful flowers and plants everywhere. Thanks for sharing. Love Love your videos ❤

So glad you came to Ohio. Looking for something different-You should check out Groovy Plants Ranch in Marengo Oh. Really cool-very healthy plants! ❤

Enjoy Ohio from one of your buckeye fans!

"I will divide!" LOL I love your friends. 😂

I live in a 200 year old house in Ohio. The original owner of Natorbs had owned my home at one time. So there are beautiful trees and plants on the property grade. In one part of our yard, we found a in English garden with a fountain that had been left untouched for years. I have a goal of digging it back out one day.

Amazing plants & Matthew’s gardens are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

After Our House Burned Down Last Year and [When] The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY Led Us Here To Our Homestead, We Started A Japanese Maple Tree Out Front In Between Our Two Front Porches. It's Doing Amazing and Is So Beautiful 😍 💗

Stockslagers is my goto here in Dayton, Ohio. They have a wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Love this!! Such a beautiful nursurery and amazing gardens at the southerners place. I love it❤

Thanks for tour. Wonder how plants protected from climate change. Love your thoughts. God speed. Vancouver Canada ❤

Curry leaves from the plant you can fry them in oil and add to dishes or use it the same way as a bay leaf. Obviously different flavours but curry leaves are used alot in Indian, and some Chinese cuisine.

Them roses grow real good in full sun I have the very same kind and I live in the Northern Ohio

Matthew's garden is beautiful. I too would have a hard time dividing plants...the sound of the shovel going in made me cringe every time 😮

He has a gorgeous gardeen and what an aesome Plant centre!!

Oh my goodness! You are in my neck of the woods! So wish I could invite you all for supper!

That dusty pink hydrangea needs to be a sticker 😍

Wow, you introduce us with Mathew. Now I am following him and also getting interested to grow ornamental plants.

Heck yeah!!! I'm from Brown County Ohio. ❤

You touring these places is like me in Hobby Lobby.🤣

I have a Curry Leaf Tree! Here in Tucson I have it in a rather protected area and it is doing wonderful! It reseeds so now I have a second tree in a big pot! We use the leaves very often since Indian Cuisine is one of our favorites!

Hey, you're in my neck of the wood's god bless enjoy!

I'm up in Northeast Ohio and did not realize there were such massive garden centers south! I am excited to make a day trip and check out these places sometime. So good!

Ha! We're 15 minutes from Stockslagers and have shopped there since childhood. And then, we were in Columbus for baseball yesterday too. Haha! Thankful for your channel!

I want a friend with a garden that is that beautiful that will just let me go dig up beautiful plants to take home LOL Hey, Mathew... it me up. I'm your neighbor to the north (NE lower MI)😊

Jess, you are such a dork, and I mean that in the best of ways... You and that Szechuan pepper... that was too funny. 😂 There were so many cool things there, thanks for sharing all that you saw. Absolutely fascinating :)

That garden center is a gardeners paradise! Walking out into Matthew's garden with a shovel and digging out the things that catch your fancy is sooo worth the drive. I know how you feel about dividing plants, but the plants love it when done correctly. What a happy day that must have been

I love living in Southern Ohio ❤❤

He has a banana in his YARD in Ohio? I love that you are in OH, BTW. Cause I'm here. Just at the other end, the NORTH! lol

One of these days when you're in Ohio I would love to see you again Jess! I live in Columbus Ohio :)

Yay! Welcome to Ohio!

What fun! Dividing things in the garden is my favorite garden task...especially iris! Enjoy your trip and learn things.

Oh my goodness his garden is so beautiful! It looks like a magazine

Everything weeping…and pink :)

Beautifully planned out garden center. So organized ❤

Hearing the crunch when the shovel went in was terrifying but I figured you knew what you were doing. Nice gams by the way! 😉

Yay! Its Matthew!!! You two are my favs!

Two of my favorite channels I watch. ❤

Oh you were in Cincy, home!! Welcome!! 🥰🌱💕

Oh man! Welcome to Ohio! I'm just north of Cincinnati in Hamilton, Ohio😊 I love Natorp's but have never heard of the other one. I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the footage. I like Bern's Garden Center near Monroe off I-75, the MOST!! You should go see the "BUTTER JESUS" out that way, anyways. A GIGANTIC Jesus statue that had to be rebuilt after being struck down by lightning years ago, out front of Solid Rock Church off the highway. Exodus 26 maybe?? See y'all at HOA❤️

Marvelous! Thank you for sharing.

I lived in Columbus most of my life. Graduated from high school and The Ohio State University. Also, retired from my job there and then move to Miami and now in NC. O-H! Only Buckeyes fan know what this is.

Yay!! It's exciting to see you in my state even though I'm in the Northeast part out in Amish country!! O-H-I-O ❤

Love the nursery. Thank you Jess and Mathew for sharig the beautiful flowers.🫂

Your lil nibble of the curry leaf was so cute

Come down to Kentucky ❤❤❤ Ohio is beautiful also ❤❤❤

Welcome to the Buckeye State!! Travel Mercies🙏🏻

This was so much fun to watch! Hi Matthew:):):):) Love you both:)

Great video! Thanks for sharing your trip with all of us ❤

I absolutely love that on the Patreon live we talked about needing an adultier adult, especially when traveling and first thing after your introduction, you have to check with Matthew to remember where you are going 😂😂😂

He has an amazing garden!!! Wow!

Oh! You are 30 minutes from me!! I wished I could have net you. Bought you a cup of coffee

Welcome to Columbus!! We are about 20 min from you. It’s storming tonight here! 😊

Oh, Janey is with you. So cool! I'm glad you all have these inspiring gatherings. It must be so fun!

Your friend has a lush verdant yard! Beautiful. I so would love that type of yard but living in the Mohave Desert it is not possible due to the need to conserve water.

Truly uly ulious , nice to share . Just lovely 😍

Curry leaves are an essential part of authentic Indian and Asian cuisine. I buy mine, wnole on the stem, in the Asian Market and they are pre-frozen so they last for about a year. 😊

Yay!!! You’re in my neck of the woods!!

Jess, That hibiscus looks exactly like my Althea.~ which is in the hibiscus family. I sent a tiny one home with you but I have another one larger now, I am going to dig it up. It's your if you want it. I'm going to pot it & care for it

As soon as you said Naytorps I knew you were in Cincinnati. Thank you for showing me some cool places in my area that I need to check out!

Hello Jessica (same name as my doughter😊) when I saw you in the glass greenhouse it looks like if you where in my earia off living. In the "Westland" in the Netherlands/ Europe. Just awesome to see; unreal. G'D BLESS and greetings from Inge Noordam

Next time you’re in Ohio stop by Funke’s greenhouse in Cincinnati. They sell the most weird varieties of vegetables. They write whole paragraphs about each variety. My husband goes with me just to read all the signs. Haha

Welcome to Columbus!!!! I hope you had a great time

That's so awesome, i enjoy your content so much! I'm in Columbus 💥💥 welcome!!!

Have fun Jess n enjoy yourself

Ohio! Beautiful Ohoi. And you are going to my home town. I am sorry I missed you by about five years. One of these days we will be in the same place at the same time. Enjoy your time in my home town.

Aww, I love Natorps!! ❤
