hello friends welcome to Gardening with Creekside I am Jenny and today we are doing a little
um nursery tour of all of the great things that we still have here that would be great
for Christmas gifts either for yourself or someone in your sweet family or just as a thank you note,
thank you note, thank you gift to your friends stay tuned because we do have a kind of an end of
the year garden special on one of our most popular products so stay tuned till the end to make sure
you do not miss that Thanksgiving has come and gone and we are officially now into the Christmas
season it just blows my mind that we are here at Christmas but we are so excited our family is
excited we've already been decorating like crazy and we have got some great things here from Chris
Mills who is a local artist who does just gorgeous stained glass both I mean just all sorts of
different things we're going to kind of go through and show some of the things that he has because he
can he and his sweet family came last weekend and restocked with some more kind of Christmas themed
products that he has made so we have I love his Christmas ornaments these are just gorgeous
Christmas ornaments I mean you've got the Santa the different Christmas trees and snowmen and
gingerbread men just really fun and whimsical these make great little gifts so as a thank you
gift christmas gift for your kids teachers whoever is in your life that you want to do
a little gift for it's great the angels of course the crosses all the different ribbons
for all the different causes so he has all of those that are here just does a really really
nice job and you will not meet a sweeter most precious man in his family we absolutely
adore these people he also has of course the garden stakes we have talked about these before I
love these these are so stinking cute so like this is here you go this is about the only little slug
that you want to be in your garden because look how cute he is and so what you do
is then you take these stakes and you put it well you put it in there and then it slides down into
so you can put it in a flower pot you could put it in your landscape you could do all sorts of things
so he has a wide variety of these guys um just a lot of different things a lot of fun things really
cute and whimsical he has now this I thought was really cool now you know we do a lot of the Bottle
Benders wind chimes where they take recycled glass bottles and cut them and make the wind chimes well
Chris came up with this great idea so he actually took this is the glass bottle melted it look how
flat it is is that not the cutest thing so his idea is it could be a cute little cheese tray like
an appetizer you could put a candle on here you could just use this in all sorts of ways but when
he showed it to me I was like dear heavens Chris I mean like you can see that that is clearly a glass
bottle that has been melted and just squooshed of course Chris said um you know really the way that
he makes it is that he goes out on the hottest day in August in South Carolina and lays it on the
asphalt for a little bit and then just runs over with his you know his car and it flattens it out
a little joke obviously that's not true but so you've got those I love his nativity scenes
look at this look at that beautiful beautiful display these make wonderful Christmas gifts
so you know if you have that person in your life that's just really hard to buy for this would be
great I also think it would be great to go-ahead and put a candle back here so then that you see
it's sparkling behind it so we've got those of course we have all the birds you name this
cute little bird he's going to have them they've got that they've got the standing angels again
you could put a um a candle behind it a little votive candle right there
sitting on the back and then you have this angel that is kind of glowing he's got night lights
all my South Carolina lovers there you go
just all sorts of different things these are really neat these he makes actually yard art
stands and what happens is he has these plates and that you can it's a whole little stand system but
you can take this plate out and you can change it seasonally so obviously this would be a great one
for Christmas then he's got ones this is the um my mama got these back in the spring then
he has the welcome with the traditional pineapple that is just a sign of southern hospitality so he
has all these different kinds of inserts that you can put in there and change with the season
so instead of like a yard garden flag, you can do the stained glass the big birds he's got big birds
he's got tons of cardinals the hummingbird look at the beautiful hummingbird love that
it's a different one it's kind of a flat one as opposed and then there's a green one see the green
and then of course he has what I would what the 3d yeah right here there's like a 3d one right there
um so just really neat interesting different gorgeous high quality like I said you cannot
just beat supporting those local artisans and just wonderful local artisans the Bottle Bendors these
are their minis these are just great little wind chimes where you have either this they call the
'Tree of Life' which is the tinkler because it has the three little glass remnant sticks on
it so that makes a great little it tinkles right so you have the tinkler then you have the minis
so this is that great again that traditional pineapple trying to make it tinkle there we go
so again you can use them inside outside they make great little sun catchers
so we have those of course the AquaPots the self-watering containers from Proven Winners
love these this is the techno series this is the techno matte black and the techno white
they call it techno because it has the ridges so the vases have the
vertical ridges whereas the flat rimmed shorter pots have the horizontal ridges we will be getting
these also in the smooth blue but they have not come yet so right now we have the matte black and
the smooth white so we have all of those of course it is still not too late to plant your bulbs
a little moment of honesty here all those bulbs that I have just not planted one yet so clearly
here in North Carolina we still have tons of time to plant your bulbs I know even Laura
with Garden Answer she put out a video the other day and she is still planting bulbs in Oregon
and they've had snow and all sorts of stuff it is not too late to put bulbs into the ground
so whether it is like the tulips those can of course you can stick those in the fridge
because they need to chill for 10 weeks in our warmer southern climates and then all
of the daffodils the jonquills the hyacinths all those it is not too late to get your bulbs and
go ahead and either pre-chill them if you need to pre-chill them or get them in the ground now
y'all love these strawberry planters as much as I did I knew that they were going to be wildly
popular again these are from Michael Carr this is his take of the strawberry planter nice big
huge holes you can get a real size plant in there they have gone like hot cakes we have these three
left we have two of the glossy black and then one of the falling blue if you are interested in
purchasing these three they are ready for sale now you can either come out to the nursery and
get them again with these gorgeous white pots I love these but all of these are on the website
so you can go to the website and go ahead and purchase them now we are not shipping these so
if you do purchase them on the website you will need to come to the nursery and come pick them up
we're not shipping these pots so we also have the full volcanic blue behind me
which is gorgeous just a ton of different shapes on that and then also the full volcanic plum
again the plum and the blue they have the same sizes just different color schemes
the plum has a little bit more green and a deep deep purple in it really really nice
and then of course the blue has a little bit more of the grays and that true blue
in those these are traditional planters these are not the self self-watering containers
from yeah they're not the self-watering containers you will notice the wall of Bottle
Benders you know the three-strand chimes they are gone you sweet folks both who came locally
and those of you that have asked us to ship them to you we have three left we have two Ursulas
and then one fish left we have sent bottle benders a whole box full of pine knots so
as soon as they get those made and sent back to us we're going to stick them onto the website and
you can order them there through the website they went like hotcakes we could not keep
up with the orders because you love and appreciate them just as much as we do I will keep you updated
as soon as I get them back in their online when our with our nursery updates we will let you know
and you can go ahead and order them and it will ship them straight out to you so wherever you are
in the United States we will send them to you I don't know that we'll be able to get them
the turnaround time in order for Christmas presents so if you're thinking of it as
far as a Christmas present I would go with the minis as opposed to the three strands
I just don't think that there's going to be enough time for us to get all that happening and then of
course with all the COVID I think the shipping times are all messed up so just if you're thinking
of a Christmas present just wanted to let you know you could do a little card that says you
have this really cool present coming to you um all right the special that we're talking about
the Land and Sea compost from Espoma this has been wildly popular um it is a great organic compost
that is just a mixture of lobster crab meal all sorts of things you will remember that we have
used it in our beds that video that I just we did about putting the shade garden to bed for winter
you will remember that we top-dress that whole bed in the land and see compost if
you're a fan of Laura with Garden Answer you have seen that she uses this all the time it
is a great product now is a wonderful time for you to do exactly what I did in my shade bed
and it when you're putting your garden to bed to go ahead and top dress that area
so that way all winter it has time to break down feed the soil and just do wonders for your whole
environment of your soil so they're going to be for the next two weekends the first two weekends
in December because remember we're only open for two more weekends we will have this on special
for 12.99 so if you want to local people come and if you have projects around the yard that you are
doing this is a fantastic time to go ahead and get this if you don't have anything right now
that you're working on this would be a great time to come and stock up for next spring because this
12.99 special is only for the next two weekends we have got this and then you will remember
from our soil delivery compost delivery that we got in the pouring down rain
we also have eight more pallets of it so we have got plenty of land and sea to
supply all of your gardening needs both now and coming in the spring this is a great deal
so if you are local and you need some Land and Sea come on by and see us the first two weekends
in December those Fridays and Saturdays nine to three and we will happily load up your car and
truck with all the Land and Sea that you can hold I think that's about it right now what jerry and
I are going to do is we are headed back over to the patio we are working on that feverishly we
are going to get the beds planted today of course we will be videoing that for you so look for that
coming in the next week where we will have the video of planting those beds Jerry got the steps
done yesterday in the fact that all the risers are in they are gorgeous we ended up having to
go with five steps instead of four steps to make it work out evenly he did that yesterday
worked out there and they are just oh they're gorgeous they're gorgeous so I can't wait to
show them to you so we're gonna leave you now and go work on the patio and film that as always
thank you so much for gardening with Creekside y'all have a fantastic
wonderful day early Merry Christmas and we'll see you in the next video bye friends
just kidding we're back we thought we were done and we weren't we forgot to talk about the caladiums the
caladiums are ready they are growing and gorgeous we have got reds we have got these whites I love
this drift no not snow drift yes it is Snow Drift from Proven Winners I just posted today how I am
decorating with caladiums inside of the house I'm pairing the white ones with some red poinsettias
I've put different ones on the mantel absolutely gorgeous so we are going to have a video coming
out hopefully it should be on Monday showing you how we are using these beautiful plants
in the house as Christmas decorations they are simply stunning and gorgeous of course
once you're done using them for Christmas they make great, great house plants I mean I did we
had 'White Wonder' this is 'White Wonder' I had this last year in a pot on our porch and it was
the most fabulous container ever so not only you use them as Christmas decorations I think they go
to house plants then come spring when it gets warm outside then you move them outside and you use
them in your landscape they do fantastic in the landscape in a pot in a hanging basket extremely
versatile this was a test program with Proven Winners they wanted to see how people responded
to using caladiums in Christmas decorations just kind of a way a different spin on poinsettias and
ways to add and just a different look and they are gorgeous so we have got them um
I mean look at that is that not just the most beautiful plant you have ever seen
extremely Christmassy because they are all the ones that we have are either white and green
or red green and white combinations of with a little bit of pink in there so they are just
by definition the perfect Christmas colors so we have these come get these um you can't wait to get
them into your hands okay now we're really done y'all have a great day we'll see you next time bye
