Tropical Theme Gardens

Would you like a tropical oasis in your back garden? Inspired by holidays in far-off lands, this style of planting has become extremely fashionable. This theme of planting can be characterised by architectural leaves and exotic flowers. Surprisingly we can grow a range of ‘exotics’ which can survive our winter if given the correct care.

We can divide this style of planting into two groups;

Hardy Exotics
These are plants with lush architectural foliage and form, that are relatively hardy and can be over – wintered outdoors during the colder months.

Tender Exotics
These were first inspired in the Victorian period by bedding schemes in which tender conservatory ornamentals where planted outside during the summer months.
