Join me in a day of gardening - transforming the centre section of my tropical garden with some key landscaping principles including balance, focal points, rule of odds and making do with what you already have. Plants include dieffenbachia, ferns, hup This includes the making of a simple planter, potting media used, and how to introduce heights and layers in a small space. Kim Lim, the co-founder of Picha Eats decided to be my apprentice for the day!

Madam I am from India, now I am covid positive. I'm hospitalized in the covid ward . Still now I am too much enthusiastic with your videos.i forgot my illness and problems ,when I am going through your videos, that much of interesting things you are doing ,Thank you madam
Hope you got better soon! ❤
Actually, you really show how gardening really is, it's never perfect on the first try☺
I was laughing so hard 😹😹😹😹. That’s exactly how I garden. Then I few days later I hate what I did so I dismantle everything. Kim is such a wonderful friend to come help. I need new friends
It's good exercise for us!🤪🌱🌿☘️
@@leafing.around U need to plan b4 making final decisions so that u will not exhaust yourself.
@@leafing.around Irene why not add another hanging fern?
@ana. Me too!
This is exactly what I do when gardening! Frantic, messy, indecisive, lugging impossible weights, and sometimes staring off into space - either planning the layout or having an existential crisis!😂😂😂
I relate to you so hard!!! Complete with the messy bun and slippers ...and the "ow ow ow! That hurts!"
My husband also mysteriously disappears or becomes deaf when I shout for help to lift soil bags or other manual labour!😅 And when I hunt him down he moans about it being too heavy when he lifts more than that in the gym😠🤛
Hahaha...so happy to know there is a tribe like us! Yeah, my husband the same too - lift weights so macho but has no interest in lifting my gardening needs. "You can DO IT! Lifting weights is good for you..." he says. 😐
@@leafing.around Just be careful not to lift things which are beyond you. It's not worth it. Be patient. Wait until your husband is free and then engage his macho-ness. 😉
@@tonyeclau I shall try! Bit been lifting weights to be stronger!
My daughter and I watched this together and she’s spent her breaks from homeschool in our tiny garden moving bricks, talking to the plants and even using her slipper as knee pads, just like you did 🤣
Thanks for inspiring her!! (And me!!)
Oooh a mini me!!!! 😍😊😊🌱☘️🌿Sounds like I need to feature her in a video one day. She can be my gardening assistant!
@@leafing.around she would LOVE that 😆
Hi im 11 yrs old and excact same loving plants !!! 😂 nice to hear theres other kids like me
Love this video, so real, non-scripted, spontaneous, witty & funny. Great beautiful outcome!
I loved this video. It was so funny. Definitely how I garden.
I am so glad to hear am not the only one😄😬
@@leafing.around I am also here with ur company
That Medinilla is to die for

Hi, Irene, I am a Chinese lady living in Malaysia almost for 10 years, and I am a gardening enthusiast for many many years. I have been following your videos for more than one month, I have watched every single video. I really like your unique and creative DIY very much, which brings me a brand new aesthetic enjoyment.
I now started watched your VLOGS and I really love it. I really admire how you take your time to take care of your garden and even if you make a mistake you'll take your time to start over again.
I felt so engaged with this video ...I literally felt I was present in your garden the whole time while you were setting them up ....and felt I should look around if you can find the right pot 😆😆
Ah...pls I need an assistant like you too!😄😬
@@leafing.around yay !! ☺️☺️
Laughing so hard. All gardeners can relate to this. That’s why I would need a day when I need to do something on my garden. My chaotic and fickle minded self can’t help it. Lol you’re lucky Kim’s patient enough to put-up all that. 😂
Once again, amazing video!
It was fun Irene. Its good to see how gardening is also a lot of huff n puff. yes an assistant is a plus👍
You show difficulties with rare sincerity and authenticity. Congrats for this and for the result.
I think you have perfectly captured the gardening process in this video. The hard way is the best way - great workout routine. I laughed at your humor (your husband does an amazing cricket impersonation)! I, too, am always on the lookout for snakes/rats/icky bugs here in Florida. I also awed at the beauty of your garden. It is so tranquil. Thank you for sharing.
Wow...thank you for such a lovely feedback and being in this gardening session with me!
You are so funny and refreshing. I have been gardening for over 40 years and grow some beautiful tropicals. You did a great job. Your garden is beautiful. Keep gardening.
Really, really love you, Irene. That's exactly how it goes when we suddenly think of re-arranging the garden, as in right now! Laughing all throughout with you. Nice work!❤️
I love how real this is :) we come along on the journey, enjoy the process and are just as shocked as you are when things happen lolol I love it!
So cute! Love her sense of humor and her determination. The hard work pays off...love your garden.
You are my favorite! What a lovely show! Such a lovely host, with so much info, and such a great attitudes towards plants, and so creative.
Thank you so much Apryl and I scatter upon you sprinklings of garden fairy dusts! :)
@@leafing.around, thank you! Haha! You're the best.
I love watching you Irene. You do a great job of the gardening but you are also funny and have a really soothing voice. Keep doing more🌺😄
Had to pause to tell you how much I'm enjoying watching the two of you and your sense of humour is a bonus. I'm subscribing!
Hehe...thank you! So happy we found you at last!
Amazing how u manage to stay focused om what u plan to do !!!
Never thought gardening could be so hilarious! Thanks for sharing! Great work too Kim!
Thank you! I love seeing the way your design brain works.
Kim is doing her work like a perfect gardener ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Irene and Kim. You two are absolutely the cutest human beings on the planet. I smiled with joy thruout your entire ordeal. Your happy atitude is contagious. It turned out very nice. Thank you for this video. Your greatest fan. Karl
Hello Karl! Aww..thanks so much.☺️☺️☺️ Kim wanted to help me every weekend but we are under really severe lockdown now ..can't even leave the front gate except for food.
I really enjoyed your enthusiasm Irene because I can relate with the chaos. I often decide to start a project Late in the afternoon and will continue through the late evening indoors to complete it . I make a mess but everything always turns out great. Since I know my propensity for doing this, I stock up on supplies ahead of time : top dressings, sphagnum moss, perlite, orchid mediums, coir, pumice, orchid pots , urns, stones etc, etc. I even keep a lot of the nursery pots for extra plants . I don’t throw plants away and those plastic pots don’t end up in the landfill (:
Thanks for mentioning my country in your video 😉, always looking forward to your videos because you’re so natural, funny and cute 💚. Love your garden.
I really adored your patience and hardwork on your garden tiring but loving our plants is a joyful satisfaction 💐🌺
You are my inspiration, I learnt a lot from you, and I can see myself doing like that, laughing on our own mistakes while gardening.... And the best part about gardening is it is always evolving.... Love your chanel so much, keep the good work. Greetings from Indonesia....
OMG, I love those plants! Wishing and hoping to find two; Beautiful!!!!! Happy Gardening!
That's such a beautiful styling Irene..and such a kind friend you have there ...need to get me one too for my garden projects...lol.
And I love how real you are - I know I'm facing so many twists and turns keeping my garden
I love it. I thought I was the only one that went through the drama but this gardening, you go girl, smile
Odd plant numbers and odd slippers. Right foot on left foot, blue and black. Love it
You're so funny but I love the vibe! Gardening looks so much fun I'm sure the plants also enjoy being around you. You made my heart smile and made me feel better. Power on!
I love her simplicity and her passion in gardening. Really inspires me!❤
So blessed. You have someone to offer help, be happy.
44:54 LOL that comment on the water feature 😂
Omg Irene! I absolutely love you! You make me laugh so hard while learning so much. You and Kim (welcome Kim!) are definitely “my people!”
You are so cute! Even you are dead tired doing your garden, you still go on...cause you are so committed to see your masterpiece...love your beautiful garden ..and i admire how very natural you are....
🤗🤗🤗 thank you for powering me on!
I love your dieffenbacchia and episcia. Awesome garden project!
I love this video so much, including the Malysian/ Singaporean accent that I miss so much! Greetings from Brazil! 💚💚💚
Great DIY...Kim was the best Assistant...👍🏾👏🏽
I laffed my ass off when you said husband do you want to help and the crickets were louder than him. I showed my hubby because it is the same here. Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. You're hilarious! You are too much like me.
Haha...yes...it is usually these times he wants me to be THAT independent, strong woman! Imagine that 50s poster of the woman that says "We CAN do it!" 🙄
Hai Irene Madam,It was a very realistic presentation in which Kim ,the guest proved how to help others & l liked her humble nature and she took a great effort with you to make the garden more elegant.l also congratulate your great effort.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️
Thank you! I must invite her back to assist me again😄
You made me laugh, Irene, the gardening looked so funny. Although the situation is recognizable when gardening. We sometimes miss help or strenght... but there is your nice friend Kim!
The medinilla is very beautiful, I love the plant and its flowers.
Grtz
I love your aesthetic, Irene! It's exactly how I want my garden to look. 😍 And that medinilla is divine! Wish I could find one as lush and bloomy as yours. Your friends are right---they're not as common here in our garden shops in the Philippines.
I also love how supportive of a friend Kim is. May we all have our own Kims. ❤️
seeing too much of myself in your gardening ways... :) i am totally enjoying watching your vlog, and even inspired when you mentioned "Philippines" :) i rarely see that variety of medenilla around here though. what is very common here are those with smaller lighter pink blooms, called medenilla cumingii. thank you for the idea of the rule of "odd"...happy gardening/landscaping!i appreciate you having a "kim" doing all those liftings and shiftings of those heavy terracotta pots. am happy stumbling upon your vlog. :)
As always a thoroughly great vid to put a smile on my face. I do like your gardening style whatever works & this looks fantastic, well done Irene & thanks to Kim for helping you out.
Happy gardening.
You know? Im so happy to watch you always when your vlogging....im amazed also your strategy to make your flower garden arrangement attractive...
Wow... Love this video much, show how struggle we are as plants lover, have to carry, move and decorate our plans 😅💪👍
Hi Irene. Love yr channel! U hv inspired me to makeover my own garden into a lush tropical like yours. Keep up the great work!!🖒🖒🖒🖒
You made me laughed so hard! That's me, plant something then dig it up again.
That was a good work out though. But it was worth it. It looks really nice.
Beautiful!!!!! I love your medinilla magnifica and tree ferns. I used to have a medinilla magnifica years ago.
It was great seeing other folks have some of the same issues we do 🤪 It might even help us think about some of the issues & plan different. Thank you for your video!
gardening will be a good workout for u ..no need to go gym 😜. As usual amazing video & garden transformation with some humor in it . Earthworm: Are we moving again ? 🤣 Looking forward to another of your creative garden ideas. Stay safe
Haha...yes the poor worms! 🪱🪱🪱 Thanks Raymond...shall find more "corners" to do in coming weeks!
Honestly, it was like watching a blind person do crossword puzzles in a wind tunnel! Very entertaining. XD
😅🤣😜 I am most flattered! I reckon the crossword puzzle is kinda completed?
I have leaned so much from uou thanks .
@@doloreszill2120 I am here to dispense knowledge ....You may address me as 'Guru-R'! ..Blessing and kombucha upon you.
Ohhh My nativeland pride💚😳 Medinilla magnifica.💖.. dear 🏡😳💚
One more time, I was amazed with the transformation of the place. Thank you, team Irene and Kim.

I love your attitude and engaging personality and your garden. You are young at heart and an inspiration as a gardener. My surroundings are totally different but if I can incorporate a bit more of you then I will enjoy it more. The process is as important as the end.
Thank you so much for posting these videos! A lot of the plants you have thrive well in Florida and Panama. You are so inspirational, I cannot wait to incorporate some of your ideas into my own garden
Tienes muchas plantas tan hermosas. Todas muy diferentes y difícil de encontrar. Me gusta mucho como lo decoras.
Its feels like i am there with you gardening, always love your shows, very informative.
OMG best garden demo ever. Your design looks lovely.
Great job. You are working very hard but we can tell you are enjoying it.

Thank you! 💕 Yes I am quite amazed people don't find me a silly nutcase yet but instead quite enjoy watching my clumsy gardening😁
Absolutely, 🌱stunning!!!💯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I love your style! Plants move all the time with me, good thing they forgive me! You really get me worried with the snakes, even though the one you found sort of looks cute, for a snake anyway! I hope the kind you get isn't dangerous for you. Happy gardening!
