A Subtropical Garden

Posted by Bill Richardson Oct 18, 2006

The features of a subtropical garden can add a magical touch to your garden and create a wonderful feeling.

One of the methods you can use is to enclose the garden with a wall to protect the plants. This will protect it from the elements of weather which include frosts and winds. Walls can create a great atmosphere for plants and family.

Use water absorbant walkways mades from timber and use porous paths, which will allow water to soak into the ground.

Create a "jungle" appearance and plant a very dense garden of plants which have very bold foliage.

Grow a leafy canopy which will provide shade in the garden and help protect it from hot sun. This will help maintain your moisture levels for plants.

Try some of these wonderful plants:

Bromeliads

Chinese Star Jasmine

Globe Amaranth

Ixora

Yucca

Find the plants which suit your own micro-climate and they will thrive and give you much satisfaction.
