What a transformation! I remember when it was mostly lawn in the middle!

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thank you! Yes it’s changed so much this year 💚🌺🌴🍍🦋

It’s beautiful ❤

[@godisgood8234]

Your garden is beautiful. l always wanted a garden like yours. l need lots of space and shade.

[@brendapowis2050]

Such a beautifully lush garden. It is gorgeous. Wasn't sure how the island would look. It looks even better without the lawn. Really great job

[@romellehysten3645]

I want a beautiful spot to sit outside. I am going to start next year.

[@kanecurtis2256]

i live in australia and just a few hours from me there’s a huge forest of tree ferns, it’s honestly so pretty

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Sounds amazing!!! 🌿

[@Redeleiser]

[@Frank-pe9pk]

Beautiful garden! Enjoyed your video so much. Here in central Florida gulf coast we have many of the same plants. Impressed that they are doing so well in your climate.👍

I have 4 smaller canna's I just bought. I think that I'm going to put some systemic in them and wash off with insecticidal soap and see what they do not letting them go dormant. You do so well with the caladiums I would give a canna a try.

[@colette6542]

Your garden is stunning, what plant food do feed your plants.

[@robertoughton9037]

Great watching shady side's, always a great watch, i have cana waiting to flower,my colocasia escalate has one leaf which has just opened .still i thank you for the inspiration you gave me to build my tiki bar ,it made my gdn & summer. this year.

[@Leprechaun886]

love it so inspirational where did u get all ur nicknaks and what are those glass balls in rope hanging from bar love it

[@rmac8737]

Coleus does quite well. Mine went nuts in a shady spot this year. So many different colours you can get. I've grown stained glassworks royalty, autumn rust and wicked witch this year.

[@szilviabagi750]

Seeing your garden is what has started me creating my tropical garden! You gave me so much inspiration, I love that your videos is full of useful advice and links. Your garden is my dream garden! :-) I have noticed a little green budgie at the end of your garden. Can you tell me where you got it from? It looks so real. I love it.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

You're welcome! The budgie is from a local garden centre, it's the 'Vivid Arts' brand. I also have the toucan. You can get them online 🌺

[@carpediem.9]

As always a pleasure to see your garden Hannah :) the baby's tears going mad look so awesome haha like fluffy green cushion, definitely plant more :) You can also try hanging a couple of vanda orchids under your covered veranda or under the fern trees they might like it :) but in winter they'll need to be brought inside.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

That would look nice, maybe next year 🙃🌺🌴 Thanks for watching 💚🌿

[@harrisonp18]

Hi Hanna, Garden is looking beautiful. Hydrangea plants like moist but well drained soil so it's a good idea to water more often if the soil dry's out to quickly. And I've read not to use fertiliser as it make the plant grow more leaf at the cost of flowers. Just mulch them in spring. 🌴

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thank you! Yes that's right, I try to keep them from drying out, they droop when they are thirsty. We have had a lot of rain here so haven't had to water them as much as usual. I usually fertilise them more too but this year as I mentioned in the video, I haven't bothered as much. I'm hoping the weather will be better next year 🌺

[@davidbanner9001]

Great video. I have a partially shaded border and another that gets full sun most of the day. What I'm trying to do is plant at least some plants/flowers that can grow in both to bring both borders together at least a little.

[@alisonconway2051]

Ive Dalhia's in my shady side and they do great which i was suprised at,your right about the weather this mth has been a total wash out here in n.ireland hoping september to october we get some good sunshine at least 🙏🌞🤣

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

I’m over it, I’m ready to decorate for autumn 😆🧡🎃🍁

[@keithpugh7538]

Very nice, honeysuckle probably gonna need more sun to bloom well. Guess you’ll find out eventually

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thanks, yes I'll see what happens. I planted it late in the year so may not bloom this year anyway. My other one is blooming under the pergola so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

[@amyjones2490]

Your garden is looking lovely. I think its prettier than the one at Gardeners World live this week.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Aw thank you for the compliment 🙃🌺🌴🌿🍍

[@kat7777]

Those big banana plant leaves look awesome... Would that grow in a big pot outside? What to do 6ot in winter... Wrap it? 🙏 🌴

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

You can grow them in pots but they grow better in the ground. If you have a look at my tropical garden playlist you’ll see my overwintering video from last year, I’ll be making another one this year 🌿

[@kelly87]

Just found your channel..I too have a west facing gardening and was struggling with what to plant in the border..already have 2 japonica and some ferns...am wondering now if I can fit a small island in the middle of the lawn...😍😍

[@Natsgarden436]

Hi there, love your channel and your garden. You have given me soo much inspiration. where did you buy your stone totem heads from

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thank you 💗🌺 They are from Tiki Headz on FB 🌴

[@GardenIdeasyt]

I also have hostas in pot. But they have never been eaten by slugs because I taped the pot rim with copper tape

[@duongdo1]

I think mimosa tree instead of Japanese maple, because mimosa leafs and flowers are gorgeous looking and fits into the tropical environment.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Yes I love those, so pretty!!

[@skahashmi]

What fern are these and id you don't mind telling me where do you get these from?

[@wildcatdiva4974]

How about a container, a black felt pot (bag) for the spots of the bed where the soil is rubbish and you can’t dig, A bushy plant or fern would cover up the container anyways.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

I think I’m going to plant soleirolia soleirolli there next week, it’s excellent ground cover 🌴🌺 There’s not much room to put decent sized pots, I currently have a few small pots of mint in the gaps 💚

[@amillimay6523]

Such an inspiration!! I have taken a few tips from your lovely garden.. in particular your tiki bar, can you tell me or do a video on how you winter cover it? Winter is soon upon us Brits! Thanks

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thanks so much! I just cover the bar October time with a custom-made furniture cover… You can see me taking this off in some of my other tiki bar videos from previous years. I usually bubble wrap all the ornaments and just leave them in a plastic tub with lid inside the bar 🌺

[@amillimay6523]

Hi there... I love your garden. Where did you get the flamingo?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

I got them on eBay. Don Featherstone realmingo 🦩🌺

[@paultroja1726]

[@MrBaconwhopper]

It's annoying hostas get rampaged by slugs so much. They really have a very tropical look to them and they are also one of the oldest types of plants in the world, I believe. If you like Hydrangeas; I have a Hydrangea Ruby Slippers in my garden that has somewhat palmate leaves which kind of sets it aside from most Hydrangeas. There are so many shade loving tropical style plants out there to choose from. Check out Peltoboykinia Watanabei, Begonia Grandis 'Torsa', Begonia Pedatifada Palmata, Pollia Japonica, Disporum cantoniense 'Green Giant' , Astilboides Tabularis, Tinantia pringlei and Smilacina Racemosa. Some of these also make great understory plants so are good for creating those layers.

Hi please share the link for the Tiki bar head ...

[@purplestax4]

Beautiful shady plants Hannah! What type of soil do you have as I think Camelias prefer acidic soil? 🌺

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

It’s more on the alkaline side but I have special fertiliser for my camellias 🌿

Are these boxwood topiaries real or artificial. The one in front of the bamboo

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

It’s real 🌳💚

[@annturner7088]

😊

[@benediktk.8228]

I'm surprised by how well the hydrangeas fit into the tropical setting of the garden, i always thought of them as kind of boring, typical ornamental plants of temperate regions till now. Sadly they aren't evergreen though..

[@shevonnenorman2424]

How do you keep bugs at bay for your outdoor plants?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

I don’t really do anything to be honest. I don’t like using pesticides. I just leave nature to it 😁🌿🌺🌴

[@shevonnenorman2424]

@@TropicalPlantAddict Some people use a light drop of eco friendly or gentle soapy water with a drop of oil (any oil but most popular one seems to be neem) but think it affects both pests and good bugs - but if o natural works that's even better.
