  • A beautiful, yet functional and edible tropical garden in Malaysia - see Mr Chow's garden that is filled with various heliconias, aroids, ferns, herbs and the most unassuming but incredibly natural waterfall & fish pond!
    Thanks very much to Mr Chow who agreed on the spot on a UA-cam plant tour and plant gifts when we recently visited him to have a 'cuppa tea'. :)

      Just like me too
      I've shared all of my 12 different cannas, gave 10s of lotuses, bananas, ferns etc. But most importantly, lot's and lot's of young trees that I grow from seeds just for the fun of it.
      And in return I got 100s of cuttings etc from my friends. Last one was 2 weeks ago. A whole pot of Thalia ❤️

    This is a man's garden! It's like a man cave but outdoors, hope that make sense 🙂... and this is where I draw inspiration from for our garden... I bought 3 or 4 plants that I saw in this episode and they are flourishing now... I just love this episode! I come back almost everyday, hahaha! Not to be creepy but the naturalness and it's unpretentious beauty just draws me in... you get a homee vibe... Mr Chow is like my dad... my dad is a retired military man, if he was still alive, this is how his garden would have looked like... that is why our garden got a major revamp because of Mr Chow... he is such a wonderful host! Thank you for this episode Leafing Around! You are the best! ❤🇵🇭...

    Irene you absolutely NEED a fish pond! I even have a small one in my dining room because they are so wonderful and so I can over winter my tropical water lilies, papyrus, etc. I have a pump on a timer in it and that waters my plant wall through irrigation drip tubes with the water (and fish poo) and does a partial water change for me so all I have to do is top off the water once a week. 2 birds one stone. Warning though. Water gardens are addictive so put in the absolute biggest one you can otherwise in a year you will be ripping it up to put in a bigger one! (That was our Covid project and we are ready to make it even bigger! ). It is my 5th pond.

    Great tour! I love all these Heliconia, gingers, and other tropical plants just grow happily without much care! I think that mystery plant is a Hosta, but they are cold climate plants. Maybe it’s some kind of elephant ear? My pond is “the cherry on top” of my garden! I hope your husband changes his mind. if you want a waterfall, you’ll be amazed what TEAM Aquascape builds in Chicago, USA. Whatever you do don’t build it out of concrete! It’s such a headache!
