Thanks, I really appreciate that. I've started a new series where I'm going to walk through the neighborhood and identify tropical plants and trees. Hope you'll stick around and check it out.
I live in the south,...in Beaumont, Texas. I had my back patio all dressed up in tropical plants, around my hot tub that I use as a lagoon in the summer. It's hot enough down here that I thought they'd survive. The freezing temperatures during that cold storm killed them all. =(. It broke my heart. I love the tropics!
Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your amazing tropical yard! I especially enjoyed the bamboo, frog, crinkle leaf, monarch caterpillars and Spanish moss…I could go on and on…❤❤❤
I love ur garden ❤️ I have a indoor garden but thanks for helping our eco system by growing n keeping a garden witch is a mejor necessary for our earth to last for our future generations
What a beautiful garden, here in Miami I get to enjoy my tropical garden even though is a small patio with lots of sun every single day, great therapy for our souls.
I am actually from Miami and always wanted to have enough property to have a setting like this. i used to be a member of Fairchild tropical garden and hung around at fantastic Gardens although that’s probably gone by now. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching. If you’re ever in Jupiter reach out and stop by.
I enjoyed it for 20 years but it got to be a little overwhelming. We sold the house last year and have moved into my dad’s little house in town. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Wow,I'm dying to have even a small one of staghorn fern! but you have a lot of that,you're so lucky to be blessed with all those healthy plant!God bless you more♥️🙏
What a beautiful yard!!!! We just relocated from. Boston to Loxahatchee.. I need all the help I can get learning about the vegetation in southern Florida! I appreciate your videos so much!!!!
Your back yard is a wonderful eclectic mixture of beautiful Florida plants. I really enjoyed watching your video. Keep up the good work! I'm in Lakeland and enjoy all these species of plants also.
Great video, I loved seeing certain plants reach their larger potential. Some plants you identified as Alocasia were actually Colocasia,but still GREAT VIDEO. 👍
Thank you so much for this video. Just moved to Jupiter Farms and also have an acre and a half to create with. No idea where to start so this is very much appreciated
South FLA. is such a different world than where I grew up in N.E. part of the state, where it was a novelty to grow some of these plants and were vulnerable to cold some years.
Ill be bussy with 2 hectares here in Suriname. The weather is great. We only have 2 raining seasons and alot of Sun. Your video is a motivation for me...
Gorgeous! Beautiful landscape, the trees, the flowers, the ferns .. everything it’s so lovely. Thanks for the video, the info and you sure gave me ideas to follow. Stay blessed and safe 🦋
Thanks for watching Oh, there are quite a few videos on the channel regarding all of the plants in the yard. You might want to check them out. Thanks again.
Yeah, we like it here. I always wanted enough property to mess around with plants, and to have some bamboo! Thanks for watching. BTW-There are plenty of other videos on this channel about the different plants in the yard.
What a wonderful garden and yard!! I am currently living in the western mountains of NC , in the process of moving to Port Orange area. Cannot wait to see what I will be able to grow there, thank you for sharing.
I have to tell you though after 20 years of maintaining it I am worn out and I just moved from this property into my dad's little house (he passed away last year) in town. Also, check the channel there are all sorts of videos on specific plants in the yard and I am making another on Royal Poincianas. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing your video. I just brought a house in Deltona and looking to get some ideas on how to do landscaping. Your garden is very beautiful and help me a lot. I love the way you explain everything very knowledgeable. 👍👍👍👍👍❤❤
Thanks for the video! I'm originally from PB County and all the various plants and trees reminds me of growing up down there and spending time outdoors.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I moved from that property so I am now doing walking tours of tropical plants. Check them out, I think you’ll like them. Thanks for commenting.
What a fabulous garden! I am in the process of building a house and planting a garden on an acre in the Rift Valley of Kenya and I will most definitely use some of your ideas! I recognize so many of the plants that you have in your garden from landscapes here in Kenya. Thanks for sharing your garden!
Hello from Melbourne Beach. 🌴 (Gables ex pate 1992) Beautiful grounds. We brought a lot of cuttings from Fairchild but our salt spray proves difficult.
I know you watch my videos and I appreciate the support. I used to be a member at Fairchild circa 1976 and spent time hanging around with the crowd from Fantastic Gardens on 67th or 77th Avenues.
Strolling around the garden is definitely reguvenating😊. I also rescue plants that neighbors throw away to watch them thrive then they give stories as I walk around the garden . Life with plants is the greatest !
Love your yard! My daughter lives in Jupiter Farms it's an awesome neighborhood!! I miss South Florida I moved to northwest Florida a few years ago . We have lot's of the same trees and plants here ,but because it gets pretty cold in the winter I can't grow a lot of the tropical plants I used to so I miss that a lot especially the Frangipanni and orchids ☹ Your yard is absolutely beautiful and your knowledge is awesome as well! I did want to mention one thing about the Spanish moss that we have no shortage of in my neck of the woods it will eventually kill the tree if you let it get to out of hand. I have friends come visit and they always want to take some home to put in their tree's, but I always warn them that it looks neat ,but it's not doing your tree any favors unless you are looking to attract bats to your yard because they tend to live in the moss . I use the moss for orchids, but only after treating it ,because chiggers and ticks are also fans of the Spanish moss. I hope I'm not telling you stuff you are already aware of and I really appreciate the education 🙂 Also love how you save stuff off the side of the road lol I have a secret spot I go to whenever I'm in Jupiter for a visit and find passion fruit 🤫
Thanks for watching. We will be moving from the farms into my dad’s house in Jupiter in two weeks and I’m making a video on the process of relocating some plants and plotting out what’s next.
I live in NE Florida, and trying to figure out how best to get started on my tropical backyard. Thanks for sharing your beautiful backyard. Very inspiring.
I will be moving into my dad's house in town soon, so I am making another video on what is next for the gardens. Thanks for watching. BTW-I am filming boats almost every day on the south jetty between 3-5 if you are over there. I'm the guy with the hat.
You have an incredible garden! I live in north Italy with winters to much cold so it's impossible to put in the gardens Alocasia, Dracena, fern, I love this wonderful paradise!! Hallo from Italy!
Beautiful garden and thanks for sharing. We will be moving to Jupiter next month and hope to build a house in Jupiter Farms next year if everything goes well.
Absolutely stunning. Just south of you - showed this video to my environmental science class, we were so stunned by the beauty you’ve created!
Thanks, I really appreciate that. I've started a new series where I'm going to walk through the neighborhood and identify tropical plants and trees. Hope you'll stick around and check it out.
The ferns and Alocasia are great

Sorry to hear that. But spring is coming...
Beautiful garden! It's amazing you grow giant palm trees from seeds. I especially like the tiny frog and monarch caterpillar!

You’re lucky to have a big yard to play with, lots of possibilities. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful yard! I love the sound that bamboo makes when it sways in the breeze. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven.
I always wanted to have some bamboo but you need room for it and it is messy. I'm moving and will miss it.

Thanks for watching
Loved your video. I can certainly feel a kinship with your style. By the way I live in Jensen Beach. Happy gardening 🧑🌾
Awesome! Thank you!
Very nice garden neighbor (I also have 1.25 acres in the Acreage). We both have our bit of Paradise. I should get some of those dwarf oyster plants...
If you do, be sure to keep them very very dry. They thrive with little water but will fungus off with too much water. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video! I'm originally from PB County and all the various plants and trees reminds me of growing up down there and spending time outdoors.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Your yard is so beautiful, you certainly have a way with tropical 🌱
I love doing it but it takes a ton of work to maintain 1.5 acres. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful Garden Richard 🌴🌱

Hello from Melbourne Beach. 🌴 (Gables ex pate 1992) Beautiful grounds. We brought a lot of cuttings from Fairchild but our salt spray proves difficult.
I know you watch my videos and I appreciate the support. I used to be a member at Fairchild circa 1976 and spent time hanging around with the crowd from Fantastic Gardens on 67th or 77th Avenues.
Awesome yard. Great video.
Thank you
Absolutely Beautiful!
Thanks, but it was a lot of work. We now live in town in my dad’s house.
Thanks for this seen the Royal Palm.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
🤩 Gorgeous! Absolutely love your bamboo, like you I think it's such an amazing plant 🥰 I hope to have a couple of bamboo patches one day too 😊
