Hi everyone and thank you all for your lovely comments about this amazing garden! I had hoped for a gorgeous autumn day to film on, with golden sun, clear blue skies and enough time to film clips all the beautiful plants and areas in the garden to overlay but I did the best I could with what we had. A huge thanks again to Jenny and Rodger for their time and expertise in putting these together - they're both amazing people and so generous in sharing their garden for a good cause. A couple of corrections for this one, the plant described early in the video as a Cinnamon vine (which they also grow) is in fact known as Chestnut Vine or Tetrastigma voinierianum - a houseplant I could picture from my childhood but didn't want to put an incorrect Latin name to in the vid. Apologies for the mistake, as Jenny said, both begin with a C! There was also another mix-up later in the video, the plant described as growing from bulbils is actually another Elsholtzia flava. Given the thousands of plants from all over the world in this incredible garden I can forgive these mistakes but wanted to pin a comment to help those of you out who are looking for them. Thanks for watching!
It really is Shirley and yes, the amount of effort, creativity and passion that goes into the garden really is impressive! I'm pleased you enjoyed seeing round, thanks.
It really is, so many incredible plants, such botanic variety and planted in a beautiful way with lovely combinations! Definitely a lot of plant names and ideas to borrow!
Has to be said I always have serious plant envy watching jennys and Rodgers spectacular garden.The breathtakingly variety of plant specie. As a self awear plant addict I'm always like jenny continuly looking gor my next fix. Challenging in my small garden...Thankfully my front garden is able to take the overflow.
Don't we all Derek! Once a plant addict always a plant addict! It's amazing to see people like Jenny and Rodger who are still hunting down, planting and propagating such diverse range of plants for sure and whatever your level of plant knowledge, I'm sure there'll be plants in their garden you're not familiar with! I hope you enjoy filling up the rest of your front garden...
Thanks for the lengthy tour! The amount of beautiful, less common plants is nearly endless. If I ever need inspiration, it's great to have this video to come back to
Thanks! In all honesty, with the weather and having to get back home to get my daughter, I wasn't able to get the individual plant shots and 'views' of the garden I'd usually mix in so the video was always going to be about the conversation and tour. The fact that it can be over an hour long of interesting and diverse plant ideas really does show how full and varied their garden is! I'm sure we could easily record the same again talking about plants that never got a mention this year, there really is so much to see!
Thanks, it really is beautiful and I'm pleased you've enjoyed seeing it come together! I believe there was a series of compost bins / areas behind the old greenhouse so I imagine they'll get a similar setup when the new greenhouse is complete.
What a beautiful tour. Thank you for sharing these gems as you do. May I propose we categorize this aesthetic as "Dense Lushness?" That May not even be a proper word but I feel like 'jungly' notates particularity. The vastness of species in her collection translate like a coveted curation of sensation. With each turn in the meandering I find myself gasping in awe at every introduction. Soooo lightheaded now. Lol. Thanks again for sharing
Thank you very much for your compliments and insightful phrases, there's certainly a dense lushness to this garden and you're absolutely right, the magic is in the combinations and variety rather than the a specific overall theme or checklist of plants. As I touched on through a lot of my recent garden visits there's certainly a group of exotic gardens which are impressive but very much about the plants themselves and there are other conventionally beautiful gardens which are pretty uninteresting botanically. At Louth, Jenny and Rodger have certainly worked towards a beautiful creation which has fascinating and diverse plants, leans into a lot of different styles with stunning combinations and is genuinely beautiful and appreciated even by non-gardeners. It's an adventure walking around!
Very beautiful! But to be honest, it would be very interesting to see this garden in winter. January, february, early march. As a series. Throught the seasons.
Hi Karl, it certainly is a beautiful garden! To address your other question, my original plan was to do more of a 'tropical garden through the year' series at mine with an episode every couple of months or twice per season to capture more of the changes. In all honesty though, my garden isn't ready for that yet (I might still do it one year). I asked Jenny if I could do film at theirs instead a few times this year. There's two main reasons why there isn't a winter one - firstly, while they do so much maintenance and garden projects through the year, it seemed a bit unfair to ask to film when everything is muddy and they're mid-project with so much. Mainly though, we tried to capture both the winter and spring in the first video. You can see the evergreen structure in the garden, the effects of winter, how packed the conservatory and greenhouses were with overwintering plants but I thought the signs of spring and all the early colour gave it a level of optimism and a time of year when a lot of us are starting things off compared to a more bleak mid-winter episode. Hopefully that gives some insight, I don't think a winter one would be dramatically different bar a bit more protection in place and more of the half hardy exotics packed inside.
@@GeorgesJungleGarden I understand. My intention was just to see the blank canvas in its full purity, hence january/february. For sure there is not that much going on, so I thought about a short video. But, yes; you have shown their overwintering method already in your first video. ("The Brugmansia room" ;p) It is your channel. So if you think it is not needed, than it is like that. I can only speak for mysekf and I find it interesting to see such a garden in the mids of winter.
Great to see how the garden has changed over the seasons, absolutely beautiful. Question for Jenny: What compost mix and brand do you use in your pots. I have had really bad results this year, I've tried doing a few mixes, but nothing has grown well.
Thanks Diane, I hope you have better luck with your potted plants next year and yes, if you can make it across to Louth next year you won't be disappointed!
@GeorgesJungleGarden I've really enjoyed the series on Jenny and Rogers Garden. I keep telling my husband he needs to be my Roger lol . They make a great team and have achieved an amazing garden. It's a bit of a way for us, but think it's worth it
@@Tminus89I discovered another Jatropha this year, it caught my eye, so added it to our other two Jatrophas. It’s Jatropha integerrima, small dark green shiny leaves and lots of small blood red flowers, it’s been stunning. The other we have is Jatropha podagrica.
Thanks for stepping in with an answer @Secret-Garden-Louth68 - I'm sure there'll be a lot of Googling of bizarre plant names from other people who aren't as far along their plant journey as you - I know I did making this!
Hi, it was a day where us plant nuts met, on this occasion, at Newbury Farm Plants, near Bedford. It was Philip Oostenbrink who organised it, having written a great book called The Jungle Garden. He is head gardener at Walmer Castle. There were talks organised and of course plants for sale both within our group and in the nursery where it was held. He runs a Facebook Page too, The Jungle Garden, and that’s where the day was advertised. Tickets were £10 and it was well worth the money and the travelling to be there 😁
Hi Carole, I just replied to somebody on Facebook asking a similar question - don't worry, you haven't missed it. My free time (/garden time!) has been very limited this year now my wife is back at work and on the days I'm at home, I look after our daughter. Whilst I did book in the garden visit videos you'll have seen earlier in the year on my days off work - between the filming, editing and now evenings getting darker I just haven't had the opportunity to get things ready to the point I'd like to in our garden. I used to film a lot of my videos at the weekends and after work, editing at 5/6 in the morning and having a toddler definitely means that schedule is put on hold for a while! I'm juggling things round next year though and using more of 'my days off' to progress the garden, film videos here and share my garden journey alongside a few visits. I'll hopefully have an update before then but it's certainly been a challenge working out a balance and how to do more with less time!
I’m pleased you’ve asked, as we both said Cinnamon vine (which we also grow) but in fact this is known as Chestnut Vine or Tetrastigma voinierianum. Apologies for the mistake( both start with ‘C’ 😂). Look8ng back at the video last night, I also realised that I’d mixed up another plant, later in the video, but I genuinely thought it was one we’d grown from little bulbils this year, when in fact it was another Elsholtzia flava 🙄. Looks a bit similar, too much excitement scrambled my brains 😆
Hi Cody, hopefully Jenny's response below addresses this - thanks @Secret-Garden-Louth68 To be honest, I didn't put a name on screen for the 'Cinnamon Vine' as it was referred to as I couldn't find one and could only remember seeing the plant when I was a child as a houseplant! Jenny's ID is correct! And yes Jenny, I did notice the similarity of the other plant potentially grown from bulbils with the Elsholtzia while I was quickly editing the video but given the huge botanical variety in your garden these minor oversights can be forgiven! I'll make a note in a comment later and pin it to the top so people can get the correct IDs. Thanks!
@mrnovak I'm presuming this is a question for me! Hopefully I'm happily surrounded by the people and passions I love and still enjoying the processes of learning about and exploring them. Generic answer aside, would I have as high a 'maintenance' garden as this? Possibly not, mine would be more of a blend of hardy structural plants and possibly less seasonal displays and tender additions as I do have other hobbies like my photography etc. I enjoy alongside my garden. This garden really is a 100% dedicated labour of love, the result of the hard work of an equally committed couple alongside those who help out for their openings every year. In terms of having the time, energy and creativity to put into their garden and the never-ending pursuit of cool plants though, I think most of us are in awe of Jenny and Rodger!

Really enjoyed these 3 videos, interesting to see the difference in the seasons 🌴🌴
Thanks so much Daphne, I enjoyed visiting and seeing it change too!
Fantastic garden and many new varieties to me.
Khu vườn quá tuyệt vời ❤❤❤👍👍👍
Cảm ơn bạn đã xem, nó thực sự là như vậy! Rất nhiều cây tuyệt vời!
This is a stunning garden Jenny/Rodger are amazing garden/plant enthusiast growers 🪴
It really is Shirley and yes, the amount of effort, creativity and passion that goes into the garden really is impressive! I'm pleased you enjoyed seeing round, thanks.
I love these gardens where you have to squeeze yourself through the plants 😂
Oh yes, that’s what it’s all about! Jenny and Rodger have a great balance between that jungle effect and a more colourful and floriferous display 😊
We can never see enough of this garden.
I'm sure there's still hundreds of plants that never got a mention!
Amazing garden, so envious.
Absolutely incredible! This is the dream isn't it!

I absolutely love the giant tropical foliage. Thank you all for sharing through the seasons. Truly incredible. 🌴
How do you compost it all?
Thanks, it really is beautiful and I'm pleased you've enjoyed seeing it come together! I believe there was a series of compost bins / areas behind the old greenhouse so I imagine they'll get a similar setup when the new greenhouse is complete.
Fabulous.
Thanks, it really is a special garden!

That Trevesia Palmata is a wishlist plant for me, hard to come by and not cheap
Yep, you're not wrong - it's so perfect isn't it!
Such an amazing garden ❤I have a t rex problem. There popping up everywhere 😂when is it best to pot them up George cuz I don't want them to die.
Very beautiful! But to be honest, it would be very interesting to see this garden in winter. January, february, early march. As a series. Throught the seasons.
George did the early season video, Spring tour, which will give you a very good idea of how the garden is early on.
@@Secret-Garden-Louth68 I know. But I've asked for a winter one.

1:12:39 can you ID the plant behind the Setaria? With the longer woody stems, in the black pot. Some African Pelargonium?
I think you mean the Jatropha Multifida 😁
@@Secret-Garden-Louth68I do indeed! There is one on my wishlist, probably that one. But its a long list😆
