Brendan's Amazing Jungle Stream Garden - a Tiki Tropicals Tour

Today's video is a special summer garden tour - a visit to Brendan @tikitropicals65 and his stunning tropical jungle stream garden transformation near Peterborough, UK. Set between mature exotic plants and tough foliage plants, Brendan's flowing and naturalistic stream trickles under a mystical mister, pours down stone waterfalls, ebbs between tranquil ponds and provides a leafy escape and sanctuary for fish surrounded by lush tropical foliage and beautifully installed hard landscaping. As well as discussing exotic plant ideas and tropical garden border design tips for colder areas, being a professional landscaper, Brendan shares a lot of his garden design advice and the methods, secrets and meticulous details behind his balanced and beautiful garden creation. I personally got a lot of garden ideas and inspiration from this amazing private garden tour at Tiki Tropicals and I hope you do too! 0:00 Intro 0:34 Tiki Tropicals - An August garden tour of Brendan's exotic garden transformation 2:00 Tough exotic plants & border design tips to create an evergreen tropical look in colder climates 11:08 Height in an exotic garden, screening & seclusion plus transplanting Trachycarpus palms 13:58 Jungle stream and natural pond 1 year garden transformation - a landscaper's tips and advice 17:53 A sense of journey, hidden paths garden design tips and stunning garden waterfall project 22:38 Adding garden magic with a natural pond water feature and thinking like an artist 29:06 Unusual exotic foliage plants, discouraging slugs and plant repetition 32:35 Garden design tips & tricks - hard landscaping, bridges & path material choices 37:08 A tropical garden planting scheme with balance, colour & resilience - ideas for your borders 48:49 Brendan's advice - garden transformation inspiration, evolution and taking home simple ideas If you've enjoyed watching this and would like to say thanks for the price of a coffee then please head over to my Ko-fi, any kind donations would be appreciated and put towards creating more videos on fascinating plants and amazing gardens: https://ko-fi.com/georgesjunglegarden​​ Thanks, George
