    Gorgeous! This Louth Garden is very similar to many of the gardens that are depicted by Irene Chen in South East Asia, especially with respect to Malaysia in her UA-cam Channel Leafing Around. The way many of the delicate plants in the foreground are potted, but the pots are hidden by the foliage. It’s remarkable that these gardeners can mimic what’s done in Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia in such a temperate environment. Their hard work deserves a round of applause.

      Hi and apologies for my delayed reply! I haven't watched many gardening vids on UA-cam recently but I'm familiar with the style of the gardens you're featured and you're absolutely right. Jenny and Rodger have done a truly fantastic job. To me, many newer gardeners or exotic plant growers can almost get too focused on the individual plants and whilst Jenny and Rodger are both completely plant obsessed, the way they're all planted, positioned and placed together really does mimic that over the top exuberance of leaves and colours many genuinely tropical gardens feature. I'm pleased you also appreciate it and I'm sure their garden will continue to inspire other colder climate growers!

    • @GeorgesJungleGarden
      @GeorgesJungleGarden  25 днів тому

      Haha yes, he manages to run off in my recent Autumn return visit too! Being on camera isn't for everyone, it's taken me a LOT of videos to get semi-comfortable with it so I completely respect and appreciate Jenny for helping me out with the tours and Rodger for taking a step back and continuing to be the propagation superhero he is out of sight! Some of his garden stories would make a hilarious video though I'm sure!

    Thanks George for another great tour. Was great to see Rodger and Jenny's garden in full summer flow! As much as I loved the last couple of tours, this one resonates with me because I have a postage stamp sized garden and Jenny's 'cosy corner' is similar to what I have space wise and very similar to what I have tried to create theatre wise in pots on a smaller scale. I have a Paulownia in a pot and even pollarded every year, it's still a good 7 or 8 feet tall. I also have an amazing solanum quitnoense in a pot doing amazingly well, in fact flowering, plus The big nettle family plant with the big round leaves, all in pots, And a massive ensette maurelli. All in pots and all come in in winter. They just need that bit extra care with water and feed. 🙂like you said, my few chosen specimens have really tied the garden together alongside the backdrop of Fatsia, Bamboo, Phormium etc.

      Hi Richard, apologies for my delayed reply and I'm pleased you've found something in this garden and yes, the 'cosy corner' is a lovely little area. It sounds like you've got a fantastic mix of plants and if you're on top of the watering and feeding there's certainly a lot of exotics that can provide a great display in pots and containers. Thanks for watching and all the best with your garden!

    I’m Lucky enough to live in Louth and follow them on insta and face book, so when they are in growing season and they have too many of certain plants and Jenny post them for sale I’m straight round, not just to buy Uk the plants but to see their development. True plant lovers and the dedication and hard work they have put in is truly amazing and inspiring. Nice video.

    • @GeorgesJungleGarden
      @GeorgesJungleGarden  2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks and I'd do exactly the same if I was more local - they seem to pop some interesting bits up through the year don't they, usually to make room for more new plants! It really is an amazing effort and inspiring garden as you say, they must take so much pride in being able to share such a beautiful creation and raise money for charity in doing so.

      @@GeorgesJungleGarden I’m enjoying getting ideas for plants to add to my wish list. So for me it would be more tours with lots of plant names. It’s miles better to see how mature plants look in people’s gardens rather than shopping online.

    • @GeorgesJungleGarden
      @GeorgesJungleGarden  2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks, that will definitely continue to be a feature for sure. As much as I want to bring in more practical tips and look at the gardens as a whole, for me the plants are what really makes a garden exciting and I'm sure there'll be more rarities and beautiful examples coming up! You're absolutely right, no matter how good the seller is, they all want to sell their plants so it's definitely helpful seeing and hearing how well the plants grow in reality and seeing what they develop into isn't it.

Isn’t it so refreshing to see a undeniably beautiful garden packed full of flowers that also has such an eclectic mix of the cool plants you only ever see at specialist suppliers or hear about in niche Facebook groups! There were so many plants that we could have featured too. Is there anything in particular you’d like to see or hear about in my next visit?

    45:17 Damn that is a nice Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum, one of my favourites. Just got a modest sized "Little Hope" for indoors, no room for the botanical species currently. That is a big plant to store in winter. They changed genus btw 😇 EDIT: For anyone who'd want one and can't find it, it used to be called Philodendron Selloum. Plenty of shops do not keep up with genus and name changes. Some Calathea changed to Goeppertia and I've not seen anyone use that name in The Netherlands yet for example

      @GeorgesJungleGarden  25 днів тому
