Tropical gardens thrive in the warm summer months, but change is on the horizon as the days are getting shorter and the nights are cooler.
Heat loving tropical plants such as Bananas and Colocasia have slowed their growth. Autumnal winds have ripped through the tropical style garden, shredding large leaves and blowing over tropical plants that have grown tall this the season. Cooler temperatures are triggering the development of fiery orange autumn colours in the canopy of our tropical garden.
Now is the perfect time to enjoy the fullness of your tropical garden before the cooler weather of winter arrives. It’s also a great time to start planning for the garden jobs that will need doing over the coming weeks. Late autumn and winter is a time where jobs are plenty in a tropical style garden.

Thanks Craig
Hi Craig. What plants do you plan to add to your garden for more colour
Great video Craig, I liked the opening shots especially and could see you’ve put the work in overlaying the plant footage – it really adds to the ambience of it all. Everything is looking fantastic and some more flowers will really liven it up next year 😊
