Just superbly put together from an understated guy who clearly loves his plants. Does he ever open his garden for the RGS scheme. If so I'd be over there like a shot to see it. Brilliant 👏👏

Lost for words here...Absolutely spectacular Kevin! I was suprised by martianus, latisectus and som eother stuff, but absolutely stunned by the Juania! have ever tried Livistona (i have 4 species here of it surviving pretty well in 8a with some help)? Greetz from an NL exotics nut in 8a . Cheers Kris for filming this beautyful garden!

Question! I spot a Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum at around 40:45, does that stay outside? I heard it can take some frost, asked 2 fellow UK tropical plant fanatics about that recently but they both didn't have experience with the plant outside

Well spotted. It was in a pot. They cope OK with the odd frost when they have an overhead canopy but really are houseplants over winter
