I used to have a lush garden, so green, but suddenly my neighbours complaints about poisonous snake she saw in the street came out from my yard. I even did not pet the snake. And then i cut it off, caused my neighbours have kids. How you handle some wild snake sneak into your garden? And handle the neighbours complaints as well?

Not necessarily, you can make a beautiful tropical garden with just a variety types of fern that suitable with your climate to create that 'tropical' looks.

[@seneciohaworthii970]

@@bluelily71 , , haha. That’s not a tropicalesque garden. That’s just a fern garden 😆 . Tropical gardens are most often associated with huge, glossy and waxy leaves of various shapes, colors, and textures.Just look at the size of the leaves in her garden. Many are bigger than her whole body lol

I really enjoyed this . You had so many great ideas for creating a visually pleasing theme. So many of us would have not even thought twice about a white wall or fence, and painting it or using wood really made it look totally better. I especially liked the vertical plant wall . Those make very good use of space and also create a very nice microclimate for the plants involved. This will be my next project . You have amazing tropicals in your collection 🌿

Love your garden, working on mine in stages too. Was wondering how do you keep out the mosquitoes from the water that you have your floaters in? I'm not so keen on having guppies, and the last round i had a bowl with floters and guppies in, the birds came and fish them out, and i too had snails breeding inside the water and it was a nightmare of baby snails climbing out from the water. If you could share tips on how to keep the mozzies and the snails away from the water bowl. Thanks.
