Absolutely amazing transformation. Perhaps a little too themed for my personal taste (we're all different, which is a good thing!), but nobody can deny you have a real talent for design and ability to care for all of the plants, they all look amazing. Hats off to you, well done, it is beautiful!
I am from Cuba, an island in the Caribbean. Your garden made me nostalgic for my childhood holidays. What a beautiful oasis you have created. Enjoy it !
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video 🌺🍁🌴🍂🌼 I am thrilled to share with you the process of my garden transformation over the past four years. I can't believe how much it has changed! It's still a work in progress and I'm already excited to make it even more beautiful next year 🧡 I designed the garden from scratch myself and have loved every moment of it. I hired local businesses to do the bigger jobs such as the sleeper edging, patio, pergola, lawn removal etc but tried to do as much as I could myself such as the planting, customisation of the bar, adding decorative posts, making my own wooden signs, staining of the pergola, bar and fences etc plus adding my own special finishing touches 🌺🦋🏝
I don’t think you could make it anymore beautiful, it’s amazing as it is. You could design tropical gardens for a living, you have a talent for it 🦜🌴🌺🥥🍍
@@wendycaran8267 Thanks so much! 🧡Although I will try and make it even more beautiful next year ha ha. I might hang some more trailing plants from the pergola, the decking will be finished plus a few finishing touches… And all the plants would have grown so that will make it look more lush and tropical 🌴🌺🧡🌻🌼
I love the tropical theme and the way your whole garden gives that vibe.. thats the kind of space we need during such hard times at our homes. Thanks for this pleasing video. One suggestion if it goes with your theme.. you can try adding a mini waterfall kind of thing with rocks.. it adds magic.
@@tanushreesarkar3828 Thanks very much! I thought quite a few times about getting a water feature but unfortunately I don’t really have the room for now, luckily the next door neighbour has a large pond with a waterfall so I can hear the sound of running water when I’m sat out in the garden 😁✨🌺🌴
It's absolutely magical and you can see the love you've put into it. I've always loved your plants and the tips on caring for them so to see them so mature and large is wonderful! Also, the pergola, just wow. What a difference it makes. Do you think you will be sitting under it in winter with a heater?! I can somehow imagine it lol. I got a polycarbonate roof put on mine after seeing yours a while ago, glad I did now as there's nothing better than sitting under it in the rain! I also added a wood seat swing which is awesome for channelling my inner child, even though there's too many plants around to swing very far. What's so good about your garden also is you can't really see where it ends, or what's round the corner of the path. Brilliant design and attention to detail, one of my favourite gardens out of probably hundreds! Really well done!
Thanks so much! 🧡🌻🌺 Yes I plan on sitting out there during Autumn/Winter which will be lovely as it’s something I haven’t been able to do before. I usually cover up my patio furniture for the winter but this year I have left it out under the pergola. I do have a patio heater which will come in handy 🙃🍁❄️
True escape! How a garden should be. The only problem with it is I wouldn't want to go back in the house! You've managed to do a lot in the space without it looking contrived, which is what good gardening is all about. It looks fresh too!
That looks amazing - well done! I'm in sub-tropical Queensland and can't believe you got some of those plants to survive in your climate. Very inspired.
They are (semi) hardy (sub)tropical plants that die back in winter and will usually grow back next spring from the roots. Some plants will need to be dug up and the rhizomes or bulbs stores over winter like Ensetes. The Musa Basjoo is the only hardy banana that will survive without being dug up. It will die back also and come spring you will get new shoots.
Majority does not. Many have to be stored away at winter or protected with coatings to survive. Some are adapted like Yuccas and the Musa Banana can be cut to the ground and layered with protective coating and will shoot new growth in the next season.
Wow what a lovely garden. When you replaced the grass with the stones and concrete sleeps I wasn't convinced at first - but them when all the plants filled out !! Looks so nice
Wow, how magical it is at night with the flickering lights. I am amazed at how well the plants do in the UK climate! Really beautiful labor of love. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a transformation the time and thought that went into this tropical paradise a labour of love, thankyou for sharing the progress of your garden so calming and peaceful amazing. 🦜🏝😎
WOW! This the first time I have seen your back garden before it became a tropical paradise this year. I did not know it took you a good four years in the making! The perfect place for you to entertain friends and it added so much needed private from your neighbors windows!! Love it! Congratulations!!
You did this🙌🏼 . You had a vision and made it happen . I love girls who can do things besides being pretty . I also loved another glimpse of the guy with his shirt off 👀 . Thank you for sharing 💚
WOW, you inspire...I live in Florida and just moved to a new(old) home, so now my tropical journey begins, building my deck, establishing my tiki bar, planting the plants...you know the routine...thanks for this video, it really inspires and gives me plenty of new ideas, I'm 72 years young, an artist and a single granny with lots of ambition...inspiration is the fuel that keeps me on track...thanks for this wonderful video, I'll be watching it over and over...cheers...!
I liked you garden sooo beautiful with artificial colorful birds. Your Hawaii Bar is elegant . I loved your cristal glass ball with different colors very unique. I ‘m from Philippines.
I came upon your video as I was scrolling through. Your garden is absolutely wonderful, the lush plants and all the lighting, I live the Cotswold stone, actually I love everything. You've created a beautiful, tropical oasis. Love it.
Looks beautiful and a fun place to invite friends and family over. I would probably add a water feature maybe in the middle island for the wow factor. Just the sound of the water trickling down the fountain would add the extra touch but great job!!
Enjoy your beautiful oasis.🌺🌴🍹 What a wonderful job. I would love to see more of how you transition for winter and care for your garden. I just moved from a hot climate to a cold one and it feels like I’ll never have the beautiful outdoor jungle again. You give me hope!!
Some of those plants will not over winter and die off in the uk, saying that I think the loss of a few plants is worth it .it is a wonderful garden there are many that try an fail to get this look as well as you have managed ,inspirational.
I just can’t believe how much you did in such a short amount of time and everything looks so lush! It’s just miraculous that you e. Reared such a tropical ‘beach’ in the middle England! You should really getting an award! Applause 👏🏽
As you know, you have been my inspiration to build my own oasis in the corner of my backyard. Yours looks so incredible. You have what I like to call “that Disney touch” that transformed your backyard into an incredible paradise. My hope is to look like yours in the next few years. I may have a few questions about tropical plants on my journey.
Absolutely amazing; what an achievement, people comment on the upkeep Or the maintenance but they don’t understand the enjoyment from we get From these jobs and results. Please keep up the good work .
Beautiful paradise! Amazing job well done, great inspiration for anyone who has a desire to make a outdoor oasis in there backyard. That’s what I specialize in south Florida.
So wonderful you have a video diary to look back on. Fabulous transformation! I certainly didn’t know you could grow tropical plants in cold UK?! Amazing. Some of those flowers are incredible!
Really great insight into the process. I started my journey into creating a tropical garden in early 2020 after wind blew down my old fence and got me started and then lockdown allowed for a lot of time for me to work on it. Trying to balance a toddler friendly space with some lawn and dedicated tropical style borders. Also on the west coast so get battered by storms. Then also on heavy clay so had to raise all soil levels. Taken a lot of inspiration from your content so it is very much valued! Will likely post my own transformation videos next summer.
I live in Flordia and your yard is way more tropical than mine. :) I can't get over the bananas in your climate. I couldn't get over them here when I first came... Enjoyed watching the transformation.
Have just come across your channel and want to say found this really useful as I plan my tropical garden. You really make it seem easy to care for the plants in Winter which has been a concern of mine in consideration of the plants I might get, and love your garden. Will now have a look at your other episodes for inspiration. Thanks again

That looks amazing - well done! I'm in sub-tropical Queensland and can't believe you got some of those plants to survive in your climate. Very inspired.
You REALLY did achieve the look of a Tropical Jungle in England!! Amazing !!
How do all those tropical plants survive the winter? This is amazing 🤩
That's also my question
How do they survive in the sunless UK weather is my question
They are (semi) hardy (sub)tropical plants that die back in winter and will usually grow back next spring from the roots. Some plants will need to be dug up and the rhizomes or bulbs stores over winter like Ensetes. The Musa Basjoo is the only hardy banana that will survive without being dug up.

@@MrBaconwhopper so amazing!

Wow it’s like you have a tropical island in your back garden ❤ beautiful!
This is just mesmerizing❤❤❤❤ A backyard island paradise!
Wow what a lovely garden. When you replaced the grass with the stones and concrete sleeps I wasn't convinced at first - but them when all the plants filled out !! Looks so nice

Fantastic yard-I enjoyed watching the process step by step. Your little details are fabulous!
Looks beautiful and a fun place to invite friends and family over. I would probably add a water feature maybe in the middle island for the wow factor. Just the sound of the water trickling down the fountain would add the extra touch but great job!!
Very relaxing it's like having a vacation every single day
Looks amazing!! you should add a water feature in that island, the sound alone would add to the tropical vibe!
Awesome plant varieties!! Incredible transformation
