The Subtropical Garden
First published: October 5, 1992
Description
The subtropical garden is a garden of luxuriant foliage, dramatic form and vibrant colour. Lush in undergrowth, it is spiked above with palm or tree fronds, punctuated by suspended epiphytes, with a backdrop of climbing vines and a foreground of blazing bromeliads. In its drier areas it flaunts sword-like plants in bold clumps, thick-fleshed aloes and swollen succulents. It is a dynamic and exciting, year-round garden.
