An autumnal walk through the garden today. Leaves are starting to change colour. No open day this year due to the pandemic so once again I’ve left the garden to do its own thing. - Zábava
I first saw your garden on youtube 3 years ago, and it instigated a 3-year long 'rabbit hole' of interest in hardy tropical gardens. If you ever find the time to do a plant list/video it would be so so appreciated.
This was the first tropical garden that inspired me to create my own when we moved house. Just loved all the shape, form, texture and greenery. A little bit of paradise. My own is coming along, but could never be as good as this one. Love it!
Still the best garden on YT. Thank you so much for the update, things have filled in that much more this year. Many of us have the same plants as you, but your sense of design is unparalleled. Thanks again for all the inspiration.
How the heck can we "design" things when shit keeps dying in the sun?
The Gold standard. Absolutely beautiful garden and surely at the very pinnacle of design in this genre. Whenever I lose my way I come to this channel to remind me of my ultimate gardening goal. A masterpiece
And how's that working out for you?
You have a mighty talent to create a natural looking tropical garden and no junk, no whimsicals!
I live in the tropics and your sparing use of color is masterful.
Love your garden it’s inspired me to try and create one of my own. It will never be up to your standards but has given me immense pleasure and was just what I needed in lockdown thank you so much and keep posting more videos to inspire 👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love this tropical garden, enjoyed every movement of the video!

Lovely to see an update from previous ones. Amazing garden. Thanks for sharing.
A fabulous garden Steve, makes mine look naff!
SO COOL, LOVE IT.
Looks awsome was hoping for a walk through with plant names but then i seen your collection haha that would take some doing. That must take some overwintering.
It's a stunner.
I was so excited to see this video when it came into my feed a masterpiece Steve
It’s a great model for all of us trying to create the ultimate tropical garden I am just completing year one long ways to go but fun journey . Thanks for sharing
Magnifique !!!
Very nice and inspire me to achieve something a little bit approach to this perfection
So Beautiful! You have created a Oasis. Just gorgeous
Looks stunning! From what I can see there's a good few great looking palms Trachycarpus, butia's possibly chameorops humilis, to name a few I think so anyway lol 😆 then bananas, cordylines etc man that lot must be a mission in the winter 👍👌👌👌
Still one of the best gardens on YT :)
I liked before I watched it.. lol.
I know what I'm in for.
This is my first time in this channel and love this beautiful garden . I suscribed.
Your garden looks more stunning than ever Steve, you are so talented. Looking forward to your next Open Day.
hello good to see this channel on gardening too!
Just gorgeous and inspiring. Love a plant list .
Beautiful garden, but I wonder what's it like in the winter time.
Wow! Amazing 🤩😍
Absolutely beautiful 🤩
Stunning, as always, very envious x
Absolutely stunning , Steve . Great job . Hard to believe it is in England with all that lush tropical looking foliage !
It seems to me that you have been channelling Dennis Hundscheidt 's garden in Brisbane , Australia . I live somewhat far north of him in Queensland but I have travelled down to Brisbane twice to tour his amazing tropical garden !
Precioso y espectacular jardín. Enhorabuena.
Fantastic. Get yourself on screen and tell us about the plants.
Fantastic.
I remember from a silent tour that you did a year or two ago and there was too much understory, it was a bit claustrophobic. But, I love love love how certain areas you have opened up and now the form of the woody plants, especially the Tetrapanax, are really showing through, but you still have those areas that are lush. And even though you have a smaller garden as far as square footage goes, it’s incredible because there are so many vignettes that are scattered throughout the garden with such purpose. I’m sure you’ve learned a ton throughout these couple years that you’ve been gardening too. Just incredible.
I love your video's. Would be lovely to see updates.
Inspiring as always
Thank you
Amazing! 😍
Just amazing 👍🌺😀
Would love it if you could make a plant list, please? xx
Great! Love to see new updates. Manihot grahamii is very impressive! (With regards, Roman Kunetskiy)
Sensational … thanks
Amazing!
Beautiful
Un parque humanizado que hermoso un❤❤❤❤
Um encanto 🥰🥰🥰
Oh my goodness! Your channel just popped up on my newsfeed and I think I’ve just found my favourite garden ever 😊 and I watch a LOT of CZcams garden channels. It’s just gorgeous and I’ve subscribed. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos now. Where do you live? Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you 🙏 Unfortunately I didn’t do a video this year but I hope to add some again next year. The garden is in Abingdon on Thames, UK.
So relax
Очень красиво!!!
WOW!
Fantastic
Lovely
You can get rid of the duck weed in your pond by adding a little bit more water flow and couple koi
Waoooouuuu...
Ngeri ngeri sedaaap klau sampai ada ular masuk...
😁😁
Your garden is stunnig. Was wondering if you would be opening it to the public this year either as NGS or open gardens. We live in Leicester but would love to come and see your beautiful creation. Thanks
Wow nice.
Steve are you able to list some of the evergreen tropical-looking plants that you have had success with, please?
This garden is so peaceful. What was the first tree you showed at the start of the vedio. Thank you 😊
Beautiful, any updates?
Wow, the most amazing backyard paradise I have ever seen, may I ask what states you live in zone you in. To get this lush and green like this, we live in San Diego but can't get anywhere near like this
❤
Wow ,I’m jealous
do you have a plan, or a vision from above of this wonderful garden? Would have been fantastic to understand better spaces and size
Your garden is beautiful but I wish that you tell what kind of plants are, most of them I don't recognize but overall it's beautiful ❤️
Perfeito
This is a jungle!
Salam sukses selalu untuk semua 🙏
I’m just amazed how beautiful your garden is Do you ever get snow?
I’m in Australia
What is the size of your garden please? I am so inspired ! 😁
It’s roughly about the same area as a tennis court.
@@Springyfeller and what is the lower température you have ever known in your garden please ?
Where it is please can you replay
Hi Steve will we get a walkthrough this year?
Hi Captain, due to work commitments I have hardly been in the garden this year so there won’t be a video. Hoping to be back out there a lot more next year. It has given me time to change a couple of areas that weren’t working. I also lost one or two plants during last year’s harsh winter so need to replant a couple of areas.
cheers for letting us know. I lost a fair few big plants this year and kind of lost the enthusiasm but was watching your vids again and i'm back into it. look forward to any updates. all the best @@Springyfeller
What is the name of the plant to the left at the beginning of the video?
Chamaedorea microspadix
@@Springyfeller Thank you
What is the palm tree here? 0:06
There is two at that time so it could either be Chamaedorea microspadix or Parajubaea torallyi var. torallyi
@@Springyfeller Your garden is absolutely stunning! The careful selection of plants creates such a beautiful and vibrant atmosphere. I can imagine how peaceful it must be to relax there and enjoy the soothing sounds of water. Overall, your garden is a true masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this slice of paradise with us! 🌿🌺🌼
Looks lovely, certainly one of the best domestic tropical themed gardens in the UK on CZcams. I think it's difficult to get the composition this good, not simply having the correct plants.
Some plant questions if you don't mind...
00:26 - Is that a Brugmansia to the left behind the patio?
00:34 - What is the low plant with rounded veined leaves to the right of the chair?
01:13 - Princeps or hybrid on the right?
01:48 - What's the low, white speckled ground cover in the centre in front of the Mahonia?
11:57 - Is that a pittosporum bottom centre?
General Q's... How many years have you had the Tetrapanax's near the patio? Did you have your tall Trachycarpus's from small or did you plant taller trees?
Thank you!
Thank you Richard 🙏
The Tetrapanax was planted out in 2010 and was about a foot tall at that time.
Most of the Trachycarpus were small plants but I did add 3 taller specimens at a later date. The Trachycarpus that were planted as small plants grow a lot quicker than the ones planted as specimens so my advice would be to save your money and buy smaller palms if you can wait for them to grow.
To answer your other questions:
1.Yes a Brugmansia that was given to me labelled as ‘Apricot’
2. Plectranthus purpuratus
3. Just a normal princeps
4. Tradescantia fluminensis ’Maidens blush’
5. A Sedum but I’m not sure of the variety of it as it was given to me as a cutting.
👍
@@Springyfeller Hello, thank you for taking the time to write this reply and happy Christmas. I'll be investigating some of these and see if I have a place for them.
@@Springyfeller hi have you tried Washingtonia Robusta at all? If so have you had any luck? I know they aren't the most cold Hardy palms got 2 5ft+ washys out the back currently in cages packed with straw lol. They're 1st winter so got everything crossed any advice you could give would be great thanks 👍
@@stephenkeeble6857 Hi Stephen, yes I used to have a couple of Washingtonia in the garden but gave up with them in the end. If you wrap them for too long they can rot due to trapped moisture. I would uncover them during mild weather. Most of the palms I grow now as pretty hardy. The most tender palm I grow is Phoenix canariensis but even that has seen a few winters at -8c without any damage. It’s getting quite big now so can recover from any leaf scorch quickly. I’ve probably got over 20 different varieties of hardy palms growing in the garden at the moment.
I’m now trying to grow hardier exotics so that I have to do minimal protection in winter. So far this winter the only protection I’ve done is put a ball of fleece in the crowns of my tree ferns and that’s it! 👍
@@Springyfeller excellent mate find that as well some of the more cold tender palms have had the spear pulled on them after snow/ minus temps. I've also got a cidp out the back delivered a week ago problem I've got is its nearly 6ft tall but rooted in a rather small nursery pot, even had to stake round the base of the pot to stop it toppling as top heavy! Bit worried about repotting it tho as we're still technically in winter, what do you think? Thanks for your reply really helpful 👍
Oh Oh Steve in that one shot I saw your neighbors house. Better plant a tree.
Try talking about the plants!
