I've seen many many video's on youtube but your garden is the greatest inspiration source i've seen. Just moved to another house and in the spring i'm starting with my new backyard. I've already over 60 species of tropical plants collected over the last 7 years. Can't wait to finally put them in the ground since i've only using pots over the last few years (i had a really small garden)

Glad to see you posted a tour this year. Your garden could be the best one on KZread 👍 Great work as always.

Thank you so much!🙏 I keep saying that I will do more videos but I never seem to get around to it. I’m really wanting to do a winter walk through so that people get an idea of how the garden looks during our coldest months.

Fantastic garden, thanks for tour.

So wonderful to see everything is looking so glorious especially after those awful storms and winds we had some months ago. So enjoy looking at your amazing tropical garden, take care and maybe next year we are able to visit your tropical paradise 😁

Wow has filled out even more this year, stunning I guess it creates different micro climates throughout the garden 👏👏🌴🌴👌

Thank you Steve for your garden tour again!!! It looks fantastic as always!!!

Stunning

Fantastic garden 👍🏼

Your tropical garden Looks stunning 🤩! Do you have a facebook page for your garden? And do you have a drawing of the garden, I really like the way you designed it. I want to use your design for my new garden. 🌴 🌺

Always a joy to view your bit of paradise. Fun to see it in a somewhat more exuberant state. I’m continually impressed by the various unifying features you have implemented that define this as a garden and not a jungle. By example, during this visit the frequent appearance of palmate leaves caught my attention.

So glad you posted another video this year. Your garden is my favourite and such an inspiration. Everything’s grown so much !!!!

Amazing as always Steve! Looking forward to next years open day!

Amazing is an understatement, awesome landscape

You are surrounded by beautiful foliage and colors! Amazing!

Absolutely fantastic!! ;-)

Fantastic work Steve, beautiful planting and layout! One of my favourites on here 👍

Truly enjoyed the tour. Thank you indeed. Such a jungle paradise on earth! The white dahlia, is it ‘Twyning’s After Eigth’? I live in the west midlands and it’s one of the tough and reliable dahlias :) love it

Hi Sue, We haven’t had a family meeting about it yet but IF we do decide to open, it will be on the 20th of August. this year. I just get the garden ready. It’s the rest of my family that do everything else from cake baking to plant sales so it’s a real team effort and we all need to be there to make the day enjoyable for visitors. Thank you for your comments and give me a shout in a couple of months time and I may have a confirmation by then.🤞

Great video ☺️

Absolutely stunning Steve, fabulous plants and design. Those T-Rexs are something else! Am not far away in Aylesbury, trying to do something similar 😃

Oops I just now saw that you answered the question of what the purple flower plant is - Salvia ‘Amistad’. I got lucky and found the name of it myself doing a shot in the dark google image search for purple flowering plants. I got mega lucky and found the name somehow! I’m glad I did indeed get it right because right away I bought one! What a stunning plant! Of course you have plenty of stunning plants in your garden and a good eye for knowing where to place them! Thanks for sharing and inspiring us all!

So beautiful. So sumptuous. So glorious. So balanced. Had me completely salivating and wanting to visit next year. The only thing I felt this vid lacked was a better view of the canopy overhead to reflect more of the maturation of the garden over time. The planting, though, is exquisite!

Hi Ajun, I’ve only just seen this!🤪 What part of Abingdon do you live? It would make all the difference as to overwintering techniques. I have free draining soil here and the garden is south facing. Some parts of Abingdon are heavy clay and so would require a different winter protection plan.

Hi Steve! Your garden looks amazing you really achieved to recreate the magical tropical ambience in a temperate zone. I could see how you were able to transform your space through the years from the flat dull lawn to this marvelous oasis filled with an increasing number of beautiful plants every year more refined and unusual. I’m into tropical gardening myself and I’m testing and selecting plants that can go well in my area. Can I ask you some plant names? I’m absolutely in love with your big Eucomis, the one you can see at 2:48. What is the species? And I'm going crazy to identify also the plant at minute 0:43 in front of a pinnate palm (maybe Butia) and the one at minute 4:23 next to the pole with similar leaf. Congrats again!

Hi Steve, you told me earlier that you maybe opening your garden on 20th of August 2022. ??. Have you and your family come to a decision yet as we would love to visit your stunning garden. Thanks, 🤞🤞🤞

Hi Roman and thank you!🙏 The plant is Roldana petasitis (velvet groundsel) (Give me a PM on GOTE if you can’t source it) The Salvia amistad kept its height from last year (6ft) but I cut them down to 3ft in spring and they’ve grown huge again so must cut them to ground next spring.

Nice

Had to come back this year for a tropical fix. Love your garden. Any tips with amstaid. I live in cork city ireland south facing garden. I grew it last yr , loved it but now its july 9 th and all i can see is 1 stragley piece about 4 " long. We do have a lot of slugs do you think they might be the problem thank you.

@@nikolinda You are welcome. Some of the palms are small or are ones that I have grown from seed myself but the majority of them are planted in the garden. You just can’t see them as the planting is so thick. The Parajubaea and the Jubaea may be removed next year as they grow so slowly. I wanted to grow every different hardy palm that I could when I started so that’s why I have so many but only a few are really worth growing in a uk garden and to be honest, sometimes it’s difficult to tell the difference between the varieties at a glance. Most of the ‘backbone’ palms can be seen here in these pictures taken in Dec 2013 www.hardytropicals.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=135&t=15027&hilit=lurking&start=195

Thank you Mike 🙏 Yes, as far as I’m concerned, it is important to attract as much wildlife into the garden as possible. I mainly grow flowers that are beneficial to bees and butterflies. We get birds, bees, insects, moths, dragon flies, frogs, newts, hedgehogs, foxes all living in or visiting the garden. I’ve recently added some logs at the back of the borders to attract beetles etc that the hedgehogs will feed on.

Is the purple/blue plant at 11.15 a salvia? And if so, how do you get them to grown so tall :O

omg 😱 I live in a tropics & I am so ashame. How you do it? Wht happen when it's winter?? It's amazing. 11 yrs?! I'll be thrilled if my plants past 1 year 😅

Thanks Teresa🙏 Most of my palm trees will grow happily here, taking our winters in their stride. A lot of the gingers, dahlias and cannas etc die back to corms or rhizomes over winter and can be protected outside with a mulch of compost or manure if needed. It still looks tropical in winter with the palm trees and evergreen plants but with no colour from flowers etc. In spring there are various varieties of alliums that come up and then self seeded poppies. When these stop flowering they are cut down so that all the other plants that have been dormant can take over the show.
