🌴 A Year Later... What Grows in This Incredible Exotic Garden?

#Exoticgardening #yorkshirekris #howtogardening A year after my first visit, I'm back at Joel's incredible exotic garden in Brighouse, West Yorkshire! 🌴🌵 Rather than doing another full garden tour (well… that was the original plan anyway!), we take a look at how Joel's plants have coped with the incredible extremes of the last year. After a very wet winter, including temperatures down to around -6°C and -7°C, we've experienced an exceptionally hot and dry summer with heatwave after heatwave. So which plants have thrived? Which ones struggled? And which surprising plants have successfully survived outdoors in a northern UK garden? We talk about everything from giant Tetrapanax and hardy palms to Agaves, Yuccas, cycads, bananas, bromeliads and rare experimental plants. Joel also shows us some of his latest purchases and reveals his plans for the future development of the garden. And despite saying we weren't doing a full garden tour... I couldn't resist! 😄 We finish with a walk around this incredible multi-level garden, from the lush, jungle-style lower terraces to the spectacular arid planting higher up.
