A walking Talking Tour of the Mesmerizing Oak Barn Exotic Garden.

A private tour of one of the best self created private tropical style gardens I’ve seen in the U.K. The over head canopy of tropical style plants create a tranquil almost magical feeling throughout the garden. I truly love this garden I hope you do as well.
This would be a zone 8 garden between Mansfield and Lincoln.
This garden is open on the 10th September 2023 through the NGS Garden Scheme. Details on the NGS website.
Please enjoy.

Absolutely stunning. With touches like the raised platform etc. Really something else. Thanks for sharing.

[@tikitropicals65]

It is a great garden.

[@cassandrasmith5517]

Wow! This is just a magical place! I can’t imagine what it must be like in person. The overhead lookout view is simply breathtaking even on camera! ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing

[@tikitropicals65]

Thank you. It truly is a great garden and one of the best I’ve visited.

[@regalportraits3921]

Oh my goodness, so many ideas. Thank you so much for capturing it all in such great detail and ESPECIALLY thank you for having a steady hand and going slowly while recording.

[@tikitropicals65]

Thank you. I’m glad you liked it.

[@alanbrick7333]

I'm going to plant out my Brugs next year for sure. This garden is outstanding, inspiration in abundance thanks for sharing.

[@tikitropicals65]

Cheers Alan. I think I’m going to plant mine out as well.

[@Gtumrths]

Yes, it is an amazing garden. It’s possible only because they have a big greenhouse to overwinter many of the tropicals. But it is amazing anyway to have a garden like that in the UK. A lot of work goes into it. Outstanding job! Thank you for showing !!!

[@tikitropicals65]

Thank you. To be honest the greenhouse does help with the tender plants but most of this garden can stay out through winter.
The tender plants like Begonias and Brugmansias are just the icing on the cake in summer.

[@Gtumrths]

The snakes here in Georgia would love this environment too. Haha!

[@neilyenny]

Amazing garden. I can only aspire to that. Thanks for showing.

The lookout over the canopy was absolutely stunning.

Thank you very much.

[@lauraholmes9229]

❤❤ wonderful Video

[@tikitropicals65]

It’s a wonderful garden I’m so happy you let me share it. Thank you.

[@lauraholmes9229]

You are welcome. Any time you wish to return please let us know!

[@mltthorn]

Im surprised much else fitted in the greenhouse. It already looked half full. Plus you never showed us inside the greenhouse.
I'm impressed by the height of the aeoniums and Brusmansias. Do they overwinter them in greenhouse or house and/or do they put extra lights on so they don't look so bad after Winter?
Very jealous!❤

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. I didn’t show in the greenhouse because most of the tropicals were outside. It might look full as it had some vegetables growing in there for the summer months.
I don’t believe they use additional lights but they are kept in the greenhouse frost free over winter.

Thank you

[@my_garden.secrets]

Enjoyed every inch and second and learnt a few tips too .I dont think that conservatory can fit a lot of plants as they all seem to be tropical in real chilly winters .So what's the secret. As I lose foliage almost 95 % of all my tropicals In minus 2 to 3 in winters .Lovely coverage .❤❤❤I'm from Botswana Southern Africa. ❤

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. I think they also have a second greenhouse to bring plants into for the winters. The garden is mainly hardy plants that can stay out all year then the tender plants come out for the summer months. It’s about finding the balance.

[@RichardABW]

Great video. You could easily justify a 4k60Hz camera. Any recent-ish iPhone will do it I think.

[@tikitropicals65]

Cheers

[@Tropicalgarden82]

The plants are beautiful like in our area...greetings friends, happy to share with you👍

[@Veronika.D]

Amazing garden. How to protect plants from Eucalyptus? Because it has some toxicity.

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. The Eucalyptus doesn’t cause a problem. I also have one in my garden and no issues.

[@khannasrul6404]

Is it possible to grow such beautiful tropical garden in Ireland?

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. Yes it is possible. Lots of the plants in the Video would survive Ireland’s climate but lots of them would need to be protected in a frost free greenhouse or similar. If you look at some of my other videos I talk about hardy evergreen plants that would be fine in most winters. Cheers.

[@Gtumrths]

I see many Tree ferns in English gardens. I live in Georgia/USA and I never see any to buy in garden centers or nurseries 🙁

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. Yes we tend to get them shipped in as logs by the crate load. They have got expensive now though.

[@greengrower8122]

isnt that a tree fern? i thought tree ferns only grew in shade?

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. Tree Ferns like Dicksonia Antarctica can be grown in sunny locations in cooler climates they will just require much more watering. They do better with some shade though.
