jules webb, My Garden (SW2)

Styles: Exotic, Jungle

Low maintenance Jungle garden I built from scratch two years ago. Only gets morning sun but fairly protected so Banana and Cycas are doing ok so far.I have three different varieties of bamboo all thriving and have made two raised beds clad with 4 inch thick bamboo poles which adds to the Jungle feel. I designed the layout with the view from my kitchen window in mind so perspective, texture and colour all play an important part. I have painted the existing brickwork white to reflect more light and have also used reed and bamboo screening for more privacy.The small passiflora which I planted two years ago has thrived even through two winters and now covers the whole back wall and beyond, producing a multitude of beautiful flowers throughout summer followed by orange fruit in the autumn/winter. It provides a superb backdrop to the banana, bamboo, cordyline, canary palm and yellow wave .
