- Today's video is a little September evening tour of Jane & Allan Scorer's fantastic established exotic garden in Winterton, North Lincolnshire. A garden that's been lovingly developed for 40 years, they open the garden for the NGS and present a fantastic mixture of exotic jungle style planting alongside a vibrant and colourful tropical style display of flowers, bulbs, rare succulents and potted plants from around the world. In this video I talk about creating a jungle or exotic garden with a structure of hardy, evergreen low-maintenance exotics, how to add personality to a garden and how you can create a tropical style garden in all kinds of garden conditions, locations and even if you don't have a lot of overwintering space.

What a dream garden. I have soo little space, time but I get to dream watching your uploads. I have 2 large palms in pots and cherish them. That’s about as tropical as I get 😅
It is indeed, apologies for my delayed reply! Great to hear you have a couple of palms and they give you joy though! I’ll hopefully have more video visits to inspirational gardens on the way this year 😃
Beautiful garden, I don't think I will ever be lucky enough to have one so large but fingers crossed
It is indeed! Who knows what might come your way, my fingers are crossed for you too! 😃
Wonderful video of an amazing garden. To have so much space to work with!
The cacti you pointed out look more like euphorbias
Thank you very much, I really enjoyed my visit - it's certainly a lovely space and if you liked this one you'll also enjoy seeing Dr Simon Olpin's jungle garden I uploaded recently. You're probably right with the Euphorbias, I try my best to be accurate with IDs but it can sometimes be tricky when you're focused on filming, practice makes perfect though!
Great video, can't believe it's a year since I visited. Some beautifully mature plants and nice to see an update
Thanks Kris, yes, it’s all knitted together from when I was there last year. That Trachycarpus in the middle with the almost 360 degree leaves especially is a beauty!
That is a dense Jungle! What a beautiful display of plants and flowers. Amazing Equisetum sp., beautiful Aloes and
gorgeous Cordylin at the end, to name a few...
The owners are passionate indeed! Plant what you like and experiment, great thoughts George! Take care.❤
It is indeed, I can see why it’s so popular as an open garden with a bit of something unusual. When they moved in it was pretty much a blank canvas, they’ve done an amazing job! Thanks Bernard, you too 😃
Shineamen mbs, your description is on point. "A Dense forest"
@@lorrainewilson5234 ❤
@@lorrainewilson5234 I wouldn’t necessarily want all my garden to be like that but it’s certainly an environment that shows off the palms and Tetrapanax etc well 😃
@@GeorgesJungleGarden don't get me wrong, I love it. I just said it is a jungle/forest instead of a structured garden. Well done, sir.
Excellent interesting video, highly informative and ridiculously delightful!! 😎👍
Thank you very much, I’m really pleased you enjoyed it! 😃
I agree about all the striking colours at this time of year, getting wrapped up and going on woodland walks is always great this time of year with all the red and yellow leaves against the green carpets of ferns
Definitely, that’s what it’s all about. There’s some lovely reds and yellows out there, I wish I had more holidays left to enjoy a walk out with the camera when the sky is blue and the sun is shining 😃
Wow what a wonderful garden
It is indeed, a beautiful space full of amazing plants!
Ohhhhh the puppy .
I don’t feel as bad now I’ve seen your garden the ferns lol .
Haha yes Wayne! The tree ferns definitely look rough after this winter but the green fronds were unlikely to survive the temperatures we had. Fingers crossed they bounce back for both of us!
Thank you all for a wonderful garden walk.
This is a plantsman’s garden, with a firm understanding of his goals.
Good design is not what you say yes to, but what you say no to.
For all the diversity, the restraint is abundantly apparent.
Acer, prunus, hydrangea, magnolia, scandents like Lonicera mesnyi and Jasminum nudiflorim for height, and so much more , have a legitimate role in a sub tropical garden.
The geranium looks quite at home, and that is the point.
I’m sure a gardener in India would LOVE a Clematis Henryi.
Alocasia Portora, and Calidora
Borneo King
Edgeworthia
Daphniphyllum
Magnolia ashei
Lycoris
Hippeastrum x johnsonii
Thank you very much Susan, for your kind words, wise insights and lovely plant suggestions! You are completely right, a design that works doesn't just depend on where the plants come from or the amounts of varieties used but how they tie together and the cohesive feeling created with a careful eye and clever use of colour. Jane and Allan have created a beautiful space!
Look at this yard! So tropical and put together very well!
It's lovely isn't it, not in your face but a lovely mix of colours, styles and planting.
Lovely, it is more of a forest than a garden
It is indeed! They’ve planted all the trees over the years, they definitely change the feel of the place!
What a brilliant garden full of experience and joy
Thanks Gordon, I completely agree! You can tell it's been developed with love and there's a real range of plants in there, something for everyone!
What's there not to love, so wonderful !
Exactly Sandra, it's a beautiful garden, a lovely mix of all kinds of plants!
Nice plants healthy
They are indeed, it’s a lovely garden!
Great garden tour George. Kind of what I'm trying to do mix the jungle with the tropics and throw in anything hardy that has an unusual foliage to it, just to make you stop and wonder - what's that 🤔👍
Thank you very much Hugh! Yes, I’m with you there, trying to keep that unusual and surprising aesthetic but without strictly growing tender plants. Your garden is going to look incredible over the coming years I’m sure!
George that's another beautiful garden great ideas for for all of us
Thanks Paul, it is indeed. Maybe not as purely focused on big leaves and tropical colour as others but a cracking example of how the exotic plants can really work in well with other plant combinations and garden interests.
Never been to this one but what a beautiful Garden another great vid George
Thanks Shane, it’s a lovely garden if you’re ever up this way!
Love the tour mate. The highlight for me hands down was the arid area. Beautiful agave americana with those cool arched spiky arms. Very cool 😎
Thanks, I had a feeling it might be! I've got another garden tour coming up later this week that'll be right up your street, palmage and exotica aplenty!
Fantastic garden tour George 👌
Thank you very much Craig! Your seed box is a great idea by the way, all the best with it 😃
Very enjoyable! Well done George!
Thank you very much, I’ll hopefully have a few more visits before the year is out including a return to Louth 😃
@@GeorgesJungleGarden Awesome
@@saltlifess6226 Got an awesome garden filmed earlier than planned, video up later this week! I'm sure you'll like it!
George, I love the point that you made that not every plant has to be tropical or marginally hardy. I’m in Western New York, and a lot of native plants in my area like buckeyes, Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) or Iris versicolor. Even peach trees have a nice tropical vibe.
Thank you very much! I’m sure I’ve seen videos of your amazing garden before and those plant suggestions definitely seem like they’d compliment the tropical aesthetic well. Not just a plug but I’m sure you’d like the planting in my latest vid (Mark’s garden), loads of bananas etc that would be right up your street 👍
Very beautiful garden, inspiring! I hear another fan of the Prunus serrula 😉I've got the 'Branklyn variety' which is more usable in a small garden. During winter or after rainfall it looks magical!
It is indeed! Thanks for the suggestion, they are indeed lovely trees and it’s great to know there’s a more compact form. I remember seeing one in my Chatsworth garden vid last winter and it really stood out in the gloom, beautiful bark 😃
Nice garden tour, as with Yorkshire Kris's tours there are the usual suspects plants repeated and these are a good foundation to start with like cordylines, bamboo, tree ferns etc. It can be tricky or difficult to get some exotic plants, I've been lucky this year, hopefully next year goes just as good.
Thanks, yes, it’s definitely a similar basis of plants although I quite liked how they’re presented in a completely different environment and mixed in with other styles too. I’m more full on jungle / tropical style but I imagine some people who watched my channel may find this kind of combo more accessible or interesting etc. fingers crossed for next year and the availability situation improves for you!
George my darling, what are you trying to do to people like me with a small city garden. I love this garden. However, it is not achievable in a city. Hope all is well with your wife and your coming baby. Best Wishes.
Hi Cindy, I hope there’s some planting ideas in there even if the whole thing is just a dream for most people in the city! It’s a lovely garden for sure, they’ve definitely put their own stamp on it. Everything is good with us thanks, getting the nursery sorted and everything lined up ready. Exciting times! Thanks, best wishes to you too.
I spotted a few eye opening exotics plants away from fatigue aroids market here. There are 2:28 Tinctorial, Tibetan Cherry bark, 12:38 that plant with new leaves growth in pastel red, 13:42 equusetum, 14:40 acum scrub farm and 15:30 black lily grass. Love your garden.
It's a lovely garden and the plants you've identified are certainly beautiful, one of my favourite things about this garden is how they've combined the exotics with other ornamental garden plants.
Beautiful,beautiful,beautiful garden and plants!Congratulations !Greetings from the warming Hungary! Have you got in garden Impatiens capensis?
It is indeed and I’m pleased you enjoyed seeing it! I don’t personally grow it unfortunately but I know there’s quite a variety of Impatiens in this garden. Thanks for watching and all the best from the chilly U.K.!
Think the second 'Yucca gloriosa' around 19:33 might be Yucca flaccida
It may be, they can all be quite variable and gloriosa is definitely more common around here but I’ll ask next time I speak with them 👍
It really feels like we have missed out starting our jungle garden this year, the prices are insane now, chances of getting a dicksonia fern are zero and palms are super expensive. Do you think prices will ever recover or is this the normal now?
thanks for the video, having been to Winterton many times its hard to believe this is there!
I’ve not been there myself Harry but have heard good things!
Hi, it’s definitely an amazing hidden gem in the streets of Winterton! As for your question, I definitely don’t think it’s too late, you haven’t missed out. I think a lot of the prices are here to stay or going up further, tree ferns especially unfortunately BUT so many of these plants are affordable in smaller sizes and grow incredibly quickly. When it comes to palms, I’d honestly get some young Trachycarpus hybrids from Hardy Palms (well, I have!). What you lose in instant impact you’ll get as they mature into beautiful specimens for a fraction of the cost of a large fortunei. On the plus side, a lot of the big leaved plants are more widely available than ever. If I was starting out now I wouldn’t be able to afford the plants I currently have but the garden would still be filled out well within a few years with some style tweaks and use of fast growing filler plants.
@@GeorgesJungleGarden Thanks George I guess we are just jealous of all the great prices the more established gardens have had in years gone. But we are enjoying our journey and cant wait for next summer already!
@@mrchuffy6535 That’s true but maybe better next year than in 5 years time! I hope you enjoy a winter of planning and looking forward to it 😃
One way is to buy lots of small plants and grow them on for a couple of years. Sell half to offset the cost of the bigger statement plants you want.😀
Hiya George how’s the fire pit getting on? 👍
Hi Harold, slow unfortunately, got a morning on it earlier this month so maybe a couple more half days and the wall will be done. My weekends are filling up rapidly but I want to get the walls finished and the soil back over next month, fingers crossed!
@@GeorgesJungleGarden you got this
@@haroldbetterson1877 Thanks! I'll do my best but equally I know getting the whole project done this year is a bit unrealistic time / money wise unfortunately!
Whats the name of the plant? 27:06
There was a Trachycarpus fortunei, a Phormium and a Euphorbia if it's one of those? I'm not 100% sure on the varieties but could take a good guess.
@@GeorgesJungleGarden The grassy thing, is it the phormium tenax?
@@bradleysmit4176 Hi, yes, it'll be a form of tense most likely. The variegated forms never get quite as big as the plain green ones but there's lots of colourful Phormium cookianum varieties which stay more compact.
@@GeorgesJungleGarden Thanks George! Im a big fan of your videos! Cant wait for some spring videos 😊
@@bradleysmit4176 Thank you very much! I’ve got loads planned so we’ll see how it all pans out. I appreciate your support.
