Stroll through a Florida Landscape designers backyard. Plant names and more of tough tropicals

Stroll through my garden with me to see some of Florida’s tropical plants/trees that last and look great In all seasons. I’m a landscape designer in Vero Beach, FL. Sharing some of my absolute favorite plants and trees I use daily in my designs. I’ll explain a little about their temperaments and what areas of the garden they can be used in. If you live along the Space or Treasure coast, this may be a helpful video for you. Hope it inspires the rest of the plant addicts like me to get out in their gardens and plant. If you would like more help with having me come out. My husband and I own Construction Landscape co. In Vero Beach, Fl. Reach out to us by 772-473-3218

This is the first video I’ve seen of an actual dreamy Florida garden. ❤

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you just did an update on the back yard hope you enjoy it too

[@vickimontemayor3262]

I'm a 73 yr old grandma with diabetes and arthritic knees so do a lot solo. My wonderful son and his wife finally understand my wanting a tropical yard. We live in zone 9 in southwest Texas so it's mostly trial and error figuring out the plants that work here and the cut ants won't eat. You give me so much inspiration to keep on trying. We've started planting palms and bananas and will add 4 more palms in 2 weeks. I'm striving for a tropical place for all my granny friends to come and chill enjoying the time we have left. Rainfall in southwest Texas is minimal so I'm always praying for rain. Thanks so much for your ideas. Keep ur fingers crossed we'll get it done. I'm high risk for covid and live on a ranch so this will be my staycation oasis. Thank you.

[@red12372]

Thank goodness for your video. My brother lives in the Tampa Bay Area and while he’s been here for 20 yrs his front and back yards are basically blank slates. I have been researching for the last several weeks and yours is the first video that has given me that I was looking for. Thank you for providing the visual and practical information needed to make a start.

[@owenevans3703]

Any progress on the yard?

[@exmc]

You are a true time traveler. You just made 45 minutes feel like 2. I was captivated by your garden, plant knowledge, and full sun disposition. Thanks for the inspiration...

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you, that made my day!

[@gabrieladeuschle3596]

Omg your garden is paradise on earth!! I wish I could take a stroll through it. Excellent job! Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍💖🌴

[@stephenlflf3871]

You need to make more videos like this one. Walking around naming plants in areas you landscape. You got a very nice style. You could have a 100k+ channel if you put out quality content.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you and so glad you enjoyed the video. I will have a couple coming out soon of my side and front yard.

[@gunnarjonathan4254]

Oh Oh Oh .your Garden is mind blowing. Rightly said PARADISE ON EARTH. How beautiful.the collection of plants, the arrangement , the combination of plants , the variety you have . Not to miss the colour combination. Just superb. Any one and me .I have saved your video and have gathered so many ideas in my mind .have implemented them too. Mine is a very smaller version on my Huge living room box grills, but by looking at your video I have gathered and collected such beautiful exotic plants . Thanks to you . I can never get tired watching your you tube video. One thing I forgot to mention.the maintenance and upkeep of this Garden can be unimaginable. Will need a group of specialized people round the clock.

You are so welcome!😊thanks for watching neighbor

[@thevirtgirl]

LOVE THIS! I'm in PSL and will definitely be calling you when I'm ready to do my little house (front, exterior). Budget is tight, but space is small. The last major hurricane ripped everything out and I used the "blank time" to replace the roof and paint the house. Now I'm ready to see my home in bloom again! You have me so excited now!

[@stylewithlivingart]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ldudley8956]

Thank you so much for being so generous and detailed with your information! It’s one of the best videos I’ve seen on tropical landscaping! You and your husband have done an awesome job! ❤️

[@nazirasteward8803]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden. I’m in Orlando zone 9b, in the process of remodeling, have removed all the landscape material and will need to start from scratch. This video was immensely helpful, informative and inspirational.

[@stylewithlivingart]

That's awesome, best of luck on transforming your space!

[@fernemorgan2599]

OMG!!! Soooo inspired by your garden! That's like my dream landscape, so I'm definitely gonna keep working towards that lush tropical look. Thanks for sharing!

[@mayarada2059]

Wow , what a gorgeous garden yoh had , love watching your plants ,hope to see later

[@p4ul1010]

Love this video for inspiration because here in Puerto Rico we have no one making landscape dessign videos to take idea from, because is not the same looking a dessign and taking notes from a temprate climate landscape than from a tropical/subtropical climate landscape. All the plants you used here are plants i see often in houses over here and is fantastic to see them in groups and in a dessign as a whole. This was such a great video, im really thankful!!

[@stylewithlivingart]

I’m so happy this video gave you some ideas and inspiration. I haven’t been to Puerto Rico however sounds like I’d love the tropical plants there. Good luck on your garden!!!

[@agneshumphrey7372]

Love your garden could not expect any better. Really like how you incorporated the rock and water feature looks natural. l live in deer country up north. Thanks for sharing.

[@mwoodson3649]

Absolutely lovely!!!

[@ilovecornell]

Omg are you kidding me??!!!! You’re yard is perfect!!!!!! Omg stunning!!! This is was I’ve been trying to find!!! Wow wish I could afford you!!! I know a lot of people tell you that.. sorry but wow.. I wish I could achieve just a fraction of this type of look in the yard!!!!

[@samijust8689]

Greetings neighbor, I sold my home in Palm Harbor and moved into a condo on the intercoastal- It’s a lot of sweat equity but I miss my tropical garden! It was getting close to what you’ve created until I got sick. (Took 5 years to figure it out… Alpha-Gal- from a tick bite in North Fl. I’m passionate about awareness!). I’m going to call you to help with my Dads yard! From a former safety educator, I have to mention that I was a bit alarmed when I saw your grill under an overhang. Please keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Speaking of fire, a more natural looking FirePit area would tip the scales into perfection with your yard. We’ll done! Kudos!

[@marylisageorge8739]

Lovely. Moving to Panama in a year and this helps a lot. Living in the north, I’m not as familiar with tropicals and this will be a humongous learning curve as I have a cottage garden in Michigan.

[@mppetrikas4919]

Wow. Such a beautiful, eclectic mix of plants. So much variety. Great video

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thanks for visiting so glad you enjoyed it

[@dianegray7760]

Thanks much Vi.... entirely wonderful!

[@kmore4327]

Thanks for sharing! Totally my inspiration 🌞 wonderful job!!!

[@kms409]

Thank you for showing us your incredible yard. Such a great inspiration. Im trying to recreate some of this in my Louisiana zone 9. I'm using sabals, sabal minors, mexican fan, oleander, bananas, just to name a few :)

[@stylewithlivingart]

Sounds like you’re off to a great start Kurt. Love that this added some inspiration.

[@catherinecook9260]

Truly stunning inspiration! My daughter just moved to Ft Myers, older home w no front landscape. Searching for yard ideas and yours are stunning!

[@craftystash8667]

Just found you, new subbie.. Difficult to find Florida gardener channels...we are in West Central Coast , North of Tarpon Springs..thanks for Florida garden info 😁

[@geraldpowell2610]

Very informative. You have motivated me. Thank you so much.

[@themmoxleys1164]

We just moved here to Vero last June. Love your back yard, got so much inspiration from you. Will definitely be contacting you soon. Have a great day!

[@GCar35]

This is the best landscape video I have seen to date!! You are amazing at this!! You should have your own H&G tv show! Seriously!! Im sure Ill come back for future reference. Im located in Safety Harbor Florida. Located on the St Pete side of Tampa Bay. I recently moved here from Ft Lauderdale so its been somewhat of a challenge getting used to what I can plant here in zone 9b vs Zone 10b which seems to teeter right on the edge of the freeze and frost line. Ive always loved gardening since I was a little boy.and I love that my neighbors enjoy my yard as much as I do. Its even landed me a few landscape design gigs that I have enjoyed a bit of extra income with..But working on my own it is a LOT of work as you very well know. Everything of yours looks incredibly healthy, last year I lost a plethora of beautiful plants due to scale.. a Huge Mandevilia vine that was always in bloom and some beautiful mature cascading baby rose. I was recommended NEME OIL that did nothing.. this year im using malathion oil..and im curious what your opinion is on that vs the insecticide you used here.. I already forget the name. Also one more thing.. what is your go to fertilizer? And your opinion on the best palm fertilizer.. if you have time. 😉 Again, great show! Instant subscriber!

[@katherinecornette5315]

I don’t live in Florida but garden up in NCarolina and I love the different contrasting foliage of your garden. Maybe one day I’ll be in Florida. Thank you for sharing your garden 🌴

Great tour Jennifer. Love your comments on the plants - names, sun/shade, how to use them, and especially size ( didn't know rojo congo would get so tall!). You would make a great landscape professor !! Say hi to Steel
