The second Spanish garden is like a Japanese garden transposed to an arid climate. Greenery instead of flowers, tightly clipped shrub mounds, and a very controlled design that looks naturalistic. Beautiful.

Where ever you visit the gardens are lovely. Interesting to see how gardens look with climate and plant restrictions.

I agree with Stephen, lovely to look at ... but I love a lot of variety in my garden and definitely not rows of roses! The cork tree is beautiful

Fabulous tough plants. I have 2 of Ruth's cork oak seedlings growing in the paddock and already over 2 metres tall after 5 years.

Aren't they tough and unlike some of us they grow into stunning old age? Regards Stephen

I don't like rows of rose either! Love the humor.

Thank you for another interesting video guys. I admire this style of gardening, perhaps because it's mainly impossible in the uk, where you'd need whellie boots to walk what would be muddy paths for most of the year.

Just loved these gardens, thank you. I have to have flowers in my garden, but loved the mounds and grasses. I’ve tried to get a similar look with Australian natives.

This was such a fantastic garden guys, thank you so much for the tour! Being from the southwest US, these gardens are very similar to what we have here - with many of the same plants. I bet the fragrance was wonderful! P.S. Just so you guys know Agave is a spanish word and is pronounced (ah - gah - vey )

Love these gardens. Not sure the style would work for me. I am in the UK with clay soil and 😢

Hi I learned a lot from your videos,,thank you for sharing these. I would like to know plant varieties suitable for a dry creek bed. I live in mid blue mountains in NSW. My dry creek bed is used to direct storm water from the street away from my house. Thank you in advance.
@thehorti-culturalists6 ай бұрын
it all depends on what effect you are trying to create. For instance a native look which could include many native rushes and grasses as well as a number of Melaleucas and Callistemons. There are also many exotic grassy plants as well as Shrubby dogwoods, dwarf willows and even giant Chilean Rhubarb might work. Regards Stephen

@@thehorti-culturalists thank you very much, I am using a mix of natives and exotics in other parts of my garden. So I am thinking of continuing the same pattern and adding a mix from your suggestions. I really appreciate your help. I have applied knowledge gathered from your videos to my gardening.
