Hello everyone, my name is Jim Putnam. I have over 35 years of experience in various parts of the horticulture industry. I have taught through a YouTube channel called HortTube with Jim Putnam for four years now. I have two tracks of learning here on teachable.


The first is a membership track where members will get exclusive video content plus a monthly zoom meeting where I will answer questions in a group setting.


The second is a series of classes that are bundled together to teach the fundamentals of landscaping and gardening.

I have over 1000 published videos on YouTube. Those videos contain a lot of this information, but the content here on teachable is ad free and placed in the best order to learn all the basics of gardening and landscaping.

Pollinator Friendly


One of the main focuses of my gardening style is pollinators. We need spaces for our native pollinators to thrive. You will learn about native and noninvasive non-native plants that will bring bees, butterflies, and birds to your garden.

Garden Maintenance


Come and learn how to maintain your existing garden. From pruning to fertilizing to mulching I will show you tips and tricks that will help you keep your garden looking good year round.
