An Amazing U.K. jungle tour of one of the best private gardens you will ever see.

[@johnpeters8662]

I have been gardening for 65 years and this is probably the best garden I have seen. I would love to see a time line video showing how the hard landscape was built and then planted. Well done!

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. I’m not sure if you have access to Instagram as Anthony has posted photos of when he was Building the structures and paths. Cheers.

[@johnpeters8662]

@@tikitropicals65 Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I am not on Instagram. I will have to see if any of my friends have access. Thanks again.

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

A truly fantastic garden and I enjoyed your tour breaking it down! Anthony and his family really have put in an extraordinary amount of effort and I love the blend of jungle and structure. One of the most Instagrammable UK tropical style gardens ever! I’m looking forward to seeing it in person soon 😃

[@tikitropicals65]

Cheers George. I love this garden for so many reasons. As a a passionate tropical gardener I love the plants and the feeling he’s created. As a landscape gardener I can appreciate the workmanship and design that is outstanding. Put them together and you get something special. I agree this is one of the most photogenic gardens I’ve ever seen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Cheers.

Thank you for your comment. It really is a wonderful garden.

[@barbarabroomfield9146]

Just perfection!

[@tikitropicals65]

Thank you

[@2being1]

Absolutely fantastic. From the canopy to the koi pond to the structures and accent lighting. I appreciate the way you walked through it and explained how a lot of it were the same plants used over and over. It really gives inspiration.

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi and thank you. I agree it really is a fantastic garden with so much inspiration. I think this garden is one of the best self created, private gardens I’ve visited. I also have a couple of other great gardens on my channel like Oak Barn Exotic Garden and Simon and Harriet’s garden Which are also very inspiring. They are all very different but show mature tropical style gardening in the U.K. at a very high standard. Really appreciate your comment cheers.

[@EastCoastTropicalGarden]

Maybe the best tropical garden in the UK

[@tikitropicals65]

Cheers. Gardens are an individual thing and what one person likes another may not but saying that this garden is of the highest level and deserves the praise it gets. Thank you.

[@BobbyBrown-re9kw]

Stunning garden, amazing job. Well done 👏 🌴

Totally agree. Thank you.

[@vincenzecalzone8666]

You think it's Australia!.. Brilliant!.. Hell of a job.

[@tikitropicals65]

I agree. Cheers

[@2222fine]

I love it so much. I admire it and can appreciate the work and patience that has been put into it. After watching it again, I turned a special kind of green myself....I think I feel envy, but also a lot of inspiration. Thank you for showing your garden Anthony and thank you for the lovely video Tiki Tropicals. These videos have become medicine for me. xx

[@tikitropicals65]

Thank you I’m glad you liked it. The reason I make these videos is to generally inspire people into this type of gardening. I also like to try and explain my thoughts on why I think they are so great as it may help people think of something that would work in their own garden. Cheers

[@maybelater8730]

Absolutely outstanding. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. Anthony has really set the bar to the next level. Hats off to him 👏👏👏👏

[@tikitropicals65]

Thank you. I totally agree this garden is definitely next level and I love the fact he just wants to keep evolving it. Cheers.

[@karenmacdonald2088]

Wow! This is truly amazing. Definately one of the best tropical gardens Ive ever seen. Im in Collie Western Australia and constructed a massive shadecloth closed in area for mine as the frost would have killed them otherwise. I dont have overhead trees or large trees unfortunately. Bare back yard when I moved here 4 yrs ago so will take time for my trees to grow. I still find it incredible that the overhead foilage protects the plants from the snow in England. Anthony really knows what hes doing to achieve this☺

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi and thank you. The garden would still Be exposed to the cold and snow but a lot of the taller trees will take the worst of it a bit like an umbrella. Also plant choice is key picking a large percentage of plants that can take the cold. Cheers.

[@PaulConnor100]

Wow! The garden looks amazing, gazebos are the perfect colour. It's all well thought out somewhere you could chill for hours with all the comforts. 😯 👏👏

[@tikitropicals65]

I agree it really does all work so well together and there is a flow through the garden that creates a calming atmosphere. Cheers.

[@Forevergardening99]

Thank you to both you and Anthony for sharing this. I have followed him on IG, but the video showed so much more. I could write a novel on why this is such an amazing garden. Truly none better.

[@tikitropicals65]

Thank you and you’re welcome. I know most people would see this garden and think it looked amazing but I was really hoping I could help people understand why it was and maybe take some of them ideas and use them in their own gardens. I just love seeing people take this passion to another level.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Beautiful garden, I can appreciate how much thought and time has gone into creating such a paradise. It’s giving me Bali vibes 🌴🌺💙

[@tikitropicals65]

Thank you Diane. It is really well done. It’s a similar feeling to Oak Barn Exotic garden but done with more modern looking materials. It works so well. Also like yours I love that all the work has been done by the owners and then is rewarded for their efforts. Cheers.

[@Paul-li9hq]

I love the way this garden has resisted the urge to go wild on intense tropical colour - the result is deeply relaxing (to me, at least 🙂)

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. Yeah the use of mainly green gives it a real relaxed jungle look that works so well.

[@leewatson6959]

wow, I've seen a few pics of the structures on Facebook and were blown away but the whole picture is fantastical. I do believe that's the best garden i've seen.

[@estherterrier6400]

Absolutely beautiful garden, top notch Carpentry ,how many years did this take to come to maturity, thanks 😊

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. Some of the palms and Cordylines have been in many years but the design and structures all happened during Covid where the lawn was removed and the jungle created so lots of it is just a few years old.

[@kathrynleithall5906]

Wow, it is beautiful, i'm also green now!

[@tikitropicals65]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Gina0151]

Outstanding. Just incredibly beautiful. The quality! Every single plant is so healthy, lush foliage unscathed by slugs, snails, pests. Q. What’s his secret slug treatment? What is he feeding those plants?! Even the hostas and brugmansia look pristine, not a single ravaged leaf. How on earth has he achieved this its a triumph. Superb example of a lush tropical jungle vibe garden in England ❤🌴👍

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi and thank you. I don’t think he has any special treatment for the slugs and snails. I think more than anything it’s time and effort checking on plants and keeping everything clean. The plants are also loving the dappled shade conditions and are well selected for these conditions. Cheers.

[@David_Banner]

Very tastefully done.

[@tikitropicals65]

Totally agree. Cheers

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

amazing Garden, do you have snakes in the UK, are they often found in these tropical Gardens

[@mattawa285]

How do these plants survive the winter? Does this area not have freezing temperatures? Beautiful garden.

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. Yes it does get freezing temperatures. Most of the plants can take the cold and some are brought into a heated greenhouse for winter. It’s about finding plants that look real tropical but have evolved in colder climates so they can survive our winters and then add a few really tropical plants to complement the look. I have a few gardens like this on my channel including my own. Cheers.

[@jul7673]

Great job touring us around. Magnificent garden; I followed Anthony on instagram. I did get nervous when you crossed the fish pond with camera in hand 😅

[@tikitropicals65]

[@andrei59]

Hello, Thanks for sharing this beauty. I believe it's the best Tropical Style garden in the UK (and probably in Europe). Just a question about the list of ground plants? Could you please list some of them? The ones at 15:10 near the Tetrapanax

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. So sorry for the delayed response. The plants around the Tetrapanax are Mahonia Soft Caress Begonia Torsa Fatsia Variegata and Spiders Web Some small grasses and Persicaria I hope this helps. Cheers.

[@TropicalDanUK]

Very difficult to tell but what size is the garden area? Few other questions, are those bromeliads in the trachy hardy?, what kind of mature trees surround the garden?, it looks pretty sheltered which is great. Great video, love this garden.

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. The garden is 11 metres x 14 metres. The bromeliads in the Trachy are not hardy and are out for the summer months. I can’t remember what the other trees were around the garden I’m afraid. Cheers.

[@bishbashash5319]

Damn those structures are perfection, Is there any information how he made the cladding? I would love to copy this!

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. I’m not sure I’ve seen any images of him doing it. If you look at the video you can see the posts behind then the timber battens screwed to it with mitred corners. I know he said it took him a long time to build. He has lots of photos in his Instagram @junglegardenuk some show the construction of his garden. Cheers.

[@valeriencls3770]

Merci a vous Monsieur Tiki de nous faire partager votre savoir faire et celui de vos connaissances ce jardin est complètement différent du votre du fait qu il ait rempli au maximun sa zone verte contrairement à vous qui conservez une zone de gazon personnellement je préfère planter de la façon de celui de votre ami pour faire des zones ombragées déjà pour se protéger du soleil quand j y suis mais aussi pour bouturer car un grand chantier est en route chez mes enfants beaucoup de plantations de prévues pour les automnes car une grande zone de bord d étang a emménager merci et encore respect pour votre passion

[@daphneking3954]

@@tikitropicals65 amazing so much in a relatively small space

[@wesleyhackney]

Another question. What kind of climate are they dealing with in this location. Are the winter temps a challenge to keep some of these plants sustained over winter? You are right about repetition of a few plants make a big impact

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. So it’s classed as zone 8 but he now has quite a sheltered garden giving him some winter protection and a bit of a microclimate. In 2010 we had a bad winter in the U.K and all his Cordylines were knocked back to the ground and had to regrow from the base. Feel free to ask questions I’m always happy to help when I can.

[@tikitropicals65]

Hi. The U.K. tends to get cold and wet winters but it doesn’t snow very often in most areas. The north of the U.K. can get very cold and is more likely to see snow than the south The garden in this video has had snow this week so some plants would have been brought into a heated greenhouse to protect them. Thanks
