  1. AWESOME! My plant brother from another mother! Everything looks amazing! You are right about the chinese fan palm, super hardy, mine come back every year from in the ground for me, think i did a video on that. You have done a wonderful job inter-twining the tropical type plants with hardy perennials and natives, thats the way to do it!

  2. Hi there, I really like the area around your pond a lot. Could you tell me what the ground cover is called around 1:10 in the video?

  3. Along with mulching to over winter stuff outside, bury a huge rock next to it and leave half of it exposed to the sun all day. Passive solar heating.

  4. My experience. Hard to kill Areca Palms. I planted 1 near the house. At first loved it. The areca survived to quite low temps since it was mature – maybe 25. The end problem
    with this palm is that it kept spreading sideways. Even though cut at the sides, it would keep coming back even larger. Finally took it out.
    So the areca palm can be planted in the ground, but after a few years it has to be taken out.

  5. Why not plant a dwarf mulberry. We freeze & eat berries 2 times a year. The birds have their fill as well.

  6. Good video 👍 please check out my brother Wayne his utube Garden channel ThePlantaholic capital T and P his a top holitcualrist

  7. Hardy banana plant? You don't have to protect it in the Winter at all? Down to what temperatures?

  8. Agapanthus is said to be hardy in zone 7 and up. Have you had any problems getting it to come back up? Thanks from Michigan!

  9. What a lovely garden in a cold hardy area. I wished there were more of those. I'm currently in Philly and would be more than happy to share my experience and plants. Feel free to reach out to me on Facebook or via Email at americaeli@aol.com

  10. I would love it if you made a video on what type of fertilizer you use and how often. Just amazing

  11. Love this! I’m moving from the east coast to Pacific Northwest in July. I really want to create a tropical garden but where I’ll be moving the summers only range from 65-75. Do you think that’s warm enough for some of the plants you have? What zone are you in?

  12. I’ll certainly be following you! This was great! My happy place are the Caribbean beaches. Thanks!
    Laura on Garden Answer taught us about a self retractable garden hose wall container with just a pull. It might have been from garden supple but not so sure.’

  13. What zone are you in? Love all the tropical type plans you have. Going to subscribe cuz living my dream thru talented gardeners,barefoot or otherwise. Tfs cheers
