Keys to designing a tropical garden

Tree ferns in a garden

Who does not dream of having a tropical garden? The problem is that we think of the meaning of "tropical" and immediately discard the idea. Not all of us are lucky enough to live in an area where the climate is mild all year round and there is no frost. But… What would you tell me if I told you that you can have one? Yes, yes, even if you live in a cold area.

The trick is in select those plants that resist the cold but that at the same time are striking, elegant and that give the garden that exoticism that we like so much.

Tropical plants in a garden

This type of garden is characterized by being composed of a variable number of plants that give color and life to the space. So that, there must be many plant beings, but they must be well distributed Since otherwise it would end up looking like a jungle, which is not ideal (unless you want that 🙂).

Some types of plants that should not be missing are palm trees (here you have a list of those that resist the cold) or those that look like, As the tree ferns or cycads. They are perfect for this type of garden, placed near the pool or in the relaxation area. And if we also put bulbous plants like cannas, tulips, agapanthus or daffodils, or other flowers like geraniums o carnations, sure we will be phenomenal.

It is also very interesting to include decorative objects that add grace to the garden, such as garden gnomes or sources. The former will be like the "guests" of paradise, while the latter will cause the ambient humidity of the place to increase, which will help many plants - such as palm trees - to have a better development.

Another topic that we cannot stop talking about is the creating a microclimate. If you live in an area where the wind blows a lot, or if you need the temperature of your garden to be a little higher, it is highly recommended to put high hedges, conifers for example, so that in this way you achieve your goal. In this article You have more information.

      Hello Alejandro.
      Where it is? Depending on the climate it can have some plants or others. If you live in an area with a tropical climate, you may have a Cassia fistula, Callistemon viminalis, or Visnea mocanera.
      A greeting.
