23 Hartington Road

Small urban garden tropical in theme, plants inc tetrapanax rex, bananas, colocasia, begonias, crocosmias, a prunus serrula all nestling amongst 6 metre high Phyllostachys Aurea and many ferns, inc tree ferns. Its east facing and rather shady but hopefully invokes a temperate rain forest. No pesticides, insecticides or peat has ever been used in the garden.

About 23 Hartington Road

Small urban garden tropical in theme, plants inc tetrapanax rex, bananas, colocasia, begonias, crocosmia, a prunus serrula all nestling amongst 6 metre high Phyllostachys Aurea and many ferns, inc tree ferns. Its east facing and rather shady but hopefully invokes a temperate rain forest. No pesticides, insecticides or peat has ever been used in the garden. A shady space so I chose plants that like a forest or jungle setting – This is where my love of big leaved tropicals originated alongside natives such as sedges and ferns. Its a small plot at 50 x 30 foot but hopefully the planting makes a big impact – its a walled city garden so is quite warm hence my experiments with tropicals. It also contains a small wildlife pond and therefore hundreds of frogs, and a greenhouse made out of entirely recycled windows.
