Bringing a touch of the exotic to your garden

A talk by Saul Walker. Many Gardens in the Southwest have always been planted with Exotic and Unusual plants from warmer climes, bringing a touch of landscape from the tropics. If you’ve ever wanted to add large, lush leaves or free-flowing flowers to your borders but not sure where to start or what exactly you can get away with in our climate, Saul will show you the collection of plants he has at home and how he grows them. From bananas, aroids, gingers and brugmansia, Saul’s garden is his exotic oasis away from the more usual temperate planting at Stonelands, and his passion for growing the rare and challenging is what drives his obsession with exotic plants.’
