Late Winter Garden Tour 2026 | What’s Blooming Now in My North Carolina Garden

Hello friends! Today I’m bringing you along for a late winter garden tour here at the house in North Carolina (Zone 8A). Even though it’s technically still winter, spring has definitely started waking up in the garden! In this garden tour, we’ll walk through the property and see what’s blooming right now, including thousands of tulips, camellias, hellebores, forsythia, cherry trees, and so many plants that are just beginning to wake up for the growing season. You’ll also get updates on several garden spaces including the driveway garden, patio beds, woodland garden at the chicken coop, cottage garden, and forest pansy bed. If you’re wondering what your garden might look like as winter transitions into spring, this tour will give you lots of inspiration for early-season color, structure, and planning your spring garden. Gardening always teaches patience — and this time of year is when we start to see all the promise of the growing season ahead! 🌿 In this video you'll see: Tulips in the landscape and containers Camellias and hellebores blooming Forsythia and Edgeworthia flowering Roses, hydrangeas, and shrubs waking up Cherry trees beginning their spring show Early spring bulbs and perennials emerging Updates on the woodland garden and chicken coop garden If you’re still covered in snow where you live, hang in there — spring is on the way! Thank you so much for gardening with us.
