How to design a tropical garden border – hardy & low budget



This video will guide you through designing and growing a hardy tropical garden border. The plants in this tropical garden border are low budget, low maintenance and will work together to build a tropical garden that looks lush and healthy all year round. Featuring tropical garden design sketches with detailed plant names, this video will help you design your own tropical garden border. The ideal size for this tropical border design is 2-3m wide by 1-2 meters deep, however the design can be adapted to meet your own garden size.

This tropical garden design will take very little time to care for when the exotic plants become established, with three days work to maintain the entire tropical garden border.
