Vertical Gardens at Hort Park, Singapore - Plant One On Me - Ep 131

Vertical gardens, or green walls, have become quite popular-both indoors and out-but there has been a lot of experimentation on what are the best-performing ones over time. In this episode of "Plant One On Me", I pay a visit to Hort Park in Singapore, to see nine green walls to see their construction and analyze how they're holding up over time!

What I love most about your posts is you use the Latin names and not just the common ones. Much appreciated Teresa. 🇬🇧

[@summerrayneoakes]

Some of them don't even have common names, so always more reliable ... Glad you enjoy

[@theresafleetwood4962]

@@summerrayneoakes yes from isle of Wight England. Always been a stickler for Latin names less confusion that way. Well usually. We have a small botanic garden in Ventnor 10 minutes from where I live if your ever over try to come to the island and visit it . Love your stuff and Kippie of course have pet rabbit and all bedding etc great for adding to compost bin. Book great also 👍👍🐰😺🌴

[@sophien5416]

I love how natural Summer Rayne is. She so down to earth and seems like such a positive person.

[@annaliesemits8465]

One of my favorite places I’ve ever visited was Singapore. The natural beauty and biodiversity everywhere is amazing. Thanks for sharing a part that I didn’t get to see! 💚

[@summerrayneoakes]

There was so much more I would have loved to see myself !

[@Methodician]

You are so fortunate (I'm sure combined with lots of lifestyle engineering) to be able to travel to these fantastic corners of the world and explore the tropical plant cultures there. And, we as your audience are so fortunate that you're sharing a taste of that with us!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Very pleased I can make it happen!

[@Leaninvestment]

Omg this is a resource for me. Pure gold.

[@petercardona1559]

"Oh btw it's pretty hot here." If you've been to Singapore this made you chuckle! 🔥😂👍

[@ninafromnarnia3865]

not just hot but humidddd

[@simone222]

Summer, I love your tee. It cutely reflects your specialties, plants and insects. :) Speaking of which, I felt like I also heard my nature-lover Russian friend in you (also a scientist but with different specialisation) when you mentioned about humidity and the sun being perfect for the prolific growth of various lovely tropical plants. It is bec. I also hail from SEA . Despite the heat and humidity, my heart feels happy and comfortable in here. But what I couldn't tolerate are the pesky mosquitoes. Those planning to travel in SEA, it's the rainy season and if ever, protect yourselves from disease-carrying mosquitoes.

[@twistysunshine]

I love the vertical gardens! My fave!

[@kathygilbreath6073]

Loved the green walls 4 and 5. The philodendrons and pothos. Thanks soo much for sharing these beautiful places 💚

[@jeanneeguizabal471]

Amazing walkthrough😍 I can only imagine what it must feel like seeing it in person! Great video as always and thank you so much for sharing💚

[@DixieGirl9876]

Loved the living walls! On my to do list for next year. (researching now.)

[@Pankaj-Verma-]

Thank you for bringing this to all of us.

[@BRANDYSTOTLER]

Love, love, love when you take us on these awesome field trips. 🙏🏼 😃 I need green walls in my life too😃

[@Homesteadyfarms]

I build living walls and use troughs and felt to wick the water up to each mobile pot. Love the video!

[@veronicamorgan6916]

Hey can i see pics of stages and tips?

[@m.k.9405]

So beautiful, l love it! I need to go there and experience it all myself 🙂

[@bectinha]

That is so beautiful! 🤗 I went to Singapore and I love it. I wish we all incorporated more nature in our urban landscape.

[@ashleylatheef]

Wow 1st comment. It's really wonderful dear Summer. Thank you for sharing this long Green wall experience. Best wishes for this journey. Bye.....

[@jacobhicks7319]

I’ve wanted a calathea white plate so bad for a while now! It was so cool to see it growing right there in the dirt!

[@wavesofrelaxation2612]

Me too. I live in Europe and it's one of the calatheas it's impossible to find... 😕

[@kristabrochman6488]

Summer Rayne always coming at you with the most wonderful and informative videos.

[@leticiareynaldo4788]

Enjoyed this segment so much. I get so inspired to find a space to put one in. Kinda afraid of it dripping on my floors. Believe me I've gone enough damage through my years of plant growing. Thank you summer 😘

[@summerrayneoakes]

You're very welcome

[@northernlight13]

Very cool. Thank you.

[@curiositygarden]

YOUR SHIRT IS EVERYTHING

[@Banano91f]

Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@erikm8372]

4:30 …that’s cool, I never thought to use _Pedilanthus_ in a vertical setting! Succulents, yes, as many Crassulaceae produce aerial roots, but I never thought of that genus in particular. They can get so tall, especially _P. bracteatus_ of course… although that one to the right of the frame looks like _P. tithymaloides_ 'Devil’s Backbone' variegata, I think?

[@gavincorpuz3031]

I love to have vertical garden.. thank you your such an inspiration.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Very pleased you enjoyed

[@xoejy5]

One of my fav places to go. There's a beautiful jambu tree where the aglaonema is. When it's fruiting, thousands of jambu will fall to the ground! There are a few nature parks around Singapore and they're not man-scaped like the famous ones in the city fringe area. U can still find valuable herbs which the world isn't aware of, wild rambutan, jackfruit, breadfruit, and precious ancient old durian trees.

[@violetsng8554]

Welcome to Singapore!

[@nicolamarini]

I had not lost that memory, hopefully you had seen a "void" green wall and it is up to you to fill it. (I think it is in an house you visited.) Those on this video are representation of a lot of things. One can be an heart wall. One a dottted one, One of "special" plants (converted to various specied for biodiversity) one is the rais of the sun, one are a diagonal lines to remember a route. and so on. What a memories in the 2 special doors on the green kingdom... and the smile... well not only throught flowers... :) I am happy you saw this one also.

[@manalani3724]

the pinkish variegated plant is alternanthera...thanks for making awesome videos.

[@archasvityagi9997]

They have done a great job.

[@gardenfever4139]

Great video as always thanks for sharing.

[@sparrowstudio1916]

So inspiring

[@danlittman8369]

Ah man, your videos are exciting Summer. That place is amazing, it looks like a modern, creative home, full of succulents. Ahh so cool. Patron :- Oh look at that, Summer :- Oh look at that.

[@atulkamble7493]

Impressive👌👌 i love plants

[@ChaitraSwamy]

The purple plant in the wall before the orchid one appears to be Sessile Joyweed used quite extensively in Indian food and has medicinal properties

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you for weighing in!

[@boosay568]

It's very interesting to see people from colder climate love our garden so much. For us, these growths are too normal and sometimes annoying. Most of the time we just let a piece of land undisturbed and after a couple of months it becomes a breeding ground for snakes and probably tigers too 😂😂

[@abihakhan3426]

Wowwww what a beautiful display of vertical garden 🌱🌴🌹🌽🇵🇰

[@lifestylebyvita]

Amazing! You’re so lucky to get to travel and see all this beauty Thank you for sharing 💕

[@summerrayneoakes]

It's not luck though. You make it happen!

[@lifestylebyvita]

Summer Rayne Oakes yeah for sure! What a I really meant to say is that you have an awesome career. ♥️

[@WanderingNoldo]

Very nice walkthrough. Looking forward to see how many points on my list made it through :-)

[@patchu6425]

Amazing video! I would love to go there. Your so lucky you can do your hobby as your job. ❤

[@summerrayneoakes]

Well I wouldn't say KZbin is my job! It's totally a labor of love!

[@ohsnapitzliz1]

awesome!

[@jangreygarin3107]

very nice vertical gardens

[@sydneyparsley408]

Thank you so much for your inspiration, I am starting a vertical garden business and I am using felt pockets with an irrigation drip. Still in the works, but looking forward to this project

[@edwardlittlefield447]

[@MsHantubelau]

When you are really passionatw about something

[@IndoCropCirclesOfficial]

From Singapore to Java is only 1,5 hours by flight. Go to Bogor Botanical Garden in West Java Indonesia. Your jaw will drop There are many old trees, ancient trees, hundreds of years old trees. Awesome. EDIT: 7:52 This is.....? That is Alternanthera ficoidea red (Red Threads) In Indonesia we called it Krokot kriminil daun merah (Red leaves krokot)

[@danielmann5427]

I learned a new word (dischidia), i will have use it sometime.

[@leydi4558]

They should do this in the USA.

[@tomdehaven3445]

Love the shirt! Where did find that?

[@summerrayneoakes]

It's a New Zealand designer: Karen Walker

[@clubalc]

Omg summer. How long did you stay and how many places did you visit on your last visit in Singapore? You must have done lots of research before coming over cause I’ve not even heard of this place even I’m a Singaporean. Haha.

[@NewmaticKe]

duh

[@summerrayneoakes]

It was an intense 9 days in Singapore!

[@arthuslim]

Hello. You should just come and stay here in Singapore 🙂

[@rayasuryaanugrah5840]

[@summerrayneoakes]

Didn't get that one while there

[@Norse94]

Can someone please explain like how do you get new plant species overseas to sell. Like do you inport them or how does it work?

[@jmredecio5974]

[@summerrayneoakes]

[@rezayaseri2790]

[@vexcarius7100]

How many scientific names do you know? Host: Yes.

[@davesylvia1162]

I think that the vertical garden walls looked a bit ragged. I would much rather have seen landscapes with exotic palms, which is what SBG is famous for.

[@christophersexton4192]

I live in South Florida see more tropical stuff in the ground around my neighborhood than this whole garden, including rare rainforest palms. Ruling out the entire northern hemisphere seems incorrect?

[@jayshko]

Singapore *is* in the northern hemisphere. And you can find cold climates with low light in the southern hemisphere and on the equator as well 🤦🏽‍♂️ The word “hemisphere” has nothing to do with what you’re trying to say here and you use it in the wrong way in so many videos!
