  • A beautiful, yet functional and edible tropical garden in Malaysia - see Mr Chow's garden that is filled with various heliconias, aroids, ferns, herbs and the most unassuming but incredibly natural waterfall & fish pond!
    Thanks very much to Mr Chow who agreed on the spot on a CZcams plant tour and plant gifts when we recently visited him to have a 'cuppa tea'. :)

      Just like me too
      I've shared all of my 12 different cannas, gave 10s of lotuses, bananas, ferns etc. But most importantly, lot's and lot's of young trees that I grow from seeds just for the fun of it.
      And in return I got 100s of cuttings etc from my friends. Last one was 2 weeks ago. A whole pot of Thalia ❤️

    This is a man's garden! It's like a man cave but outdoors, hope that make sense 🙂... and this is where I draw inspiration from for our garden... I bought 3 or 4 plants that I saw in this episode and they are flourishing now... I just love this episode! I come back almost everyday, hahaha! Not to be creepy but the naturalness and it's unpretentious beauty just draws me in... you get a homee vibe... Mr Chow is like my dad... my dad is a retired military man, if he was still alive, this is how his garden would have looked like... that is why our garden got a major revamp because of Mr Chow... he is such a wonderful host! Thank you for this episode Leafing Around! You are the best! ❤🇵🇭...

  • @baltschoolofdance
    @baltschoolofdance Před rokem

    Irene you absolutely NEED a fish pond! I even have a small one in my dining room because they are so wonderful and so I can over winter my tropical water lilies, papyrus, etc. I have a pump on a timer in it and that waters my plant wall through irrigation drip tubes with the water (and fish poo) and does a partial water change for me so all I have to do is top off the water once a week. 2 birds one stone. Warning though. Water gardens are addictive so put in the absolute biggest one you can otherwise in a year you will be ripping it up to put in a bigger one! (That was our Covid project and we are ready to make it even bigger! ). It is my 5th pond.

    Hi Mam irine I'm liezi from Philippines,im so amazed about your house garden and how you design it,last yeer me and my husband visit Malaysia Kuala Lumpur,I'm so amazed and loving all your philodendron plant,especially your begonia,I love philo,monstera but I'm found of begonias they have characters that even they not that eye catching like philo and monstera do,but for me I more amazed by their character and beauty......actually as I watch you planting and making your garden ,I love planting but here in manila we have a little space and there's no space for me to plant,I hope that one day in the future I can make me a garden too and design it my own.......

    Great tour! I love all these Heliconia, gingers, and other tropical plants just grow happily without much care! I think that mystery plant is a Hosta, but they are cold climate plants. Maybe it’s some kind of elephant ear? My pond is “the cherry on top” of my garden! I hope your husband changes his mind. if you want a waterfall, you’ll be amazed what TEAM Aquascape builds in Chicago, USA. Whatever you do don’t build it out of concrete! It’s such a headache!
