🪴 From Karen:

“We live in West Oxfordshire in a very normal house, people are very surprised when they see what lays behind it!

We brought our first Musa Basjoo 19 years ago and the Trachycarpus 25 years ago. We redesigned the garden 6 years ago to incorporate the hot tub.

I think the coldest temp was about -8.

My favourite plants are the musa’s, T Rex and the Butia.

Most of the difficult plants that I find hard to keep in the ground like the Tea cup Colocasia, Burgundy Stem Colocasia, some cannas, bird of paradise I keep in pots and bring into the greenhouse for overwintering.

My dream plant is a traveller palm, we saw them growing huge in Florida.

My advice to new gardeners would be to plan where your plants go relating to sun and shade and look at how they naturally grow in the native environment. Also improve the soil for the greedy plants. We enrich with well rotted manure at least once a year.

Next year we are looking at moving some plants that are outgrowing their space and replant one of the sides of the walkway.”

    I've only seen the new vid with the wonderful tiki bar & pond now installed ,but this is for me the bench mark for tropical gardening in the uk (pure quality.

    Wow, wow, wow. This is such a lush incredible garden. Very pleasing to the eye and although not physically present it sends this viewer into a very relaxed mode full of tranquility and serenity. Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to viewing more gardens from your visits

    Absolutely love this. My garden goals. I'm 6 years into growing mine and I've made so many changes…I can't wait until it's mature and lush like this

    To be honest gardens in tropical countries never look like this, very organized. Most people in tropics grow fruit trees, plants and root veggies along with herb plants and flowering plants, they prefer to get as much fresh supplies as they could get. Given their climate it is the nest choice as well rather than having a manicured garden with a lawn 😂. Banana, jack fruit, citrus trees, chilli plants and hibiscus are super common.
