Exotic Plants with Rustic Bridge to Tropical Cabana

Category: Water Features, Ponds & Aquatics

Garden Design Project: WTFCDY002

The Exotic Plants of the 'Hot Springs' garden design project was designed and built to illustrate, with our increasingly warm climate, how many semi Tropical and Exotic Plants can now be grown outdoors in the UK.

The greater proportion of plants and trees in this garden originated in the southern hemisphere, brought back to Europe by the explorers, botanists and collectors who ventured to the New World.

Using plants such as lotus, Ferns, cannas, bananas and tree ferns, this exotic garden takes on a semi Tropical atmosphere.

Looking across a lushly planted pond with its soothing, bubbling water feature and gentle drifting stream, the onlooker is invited to walk across a rustic bridge to a Cabana hideaway on stilts, standing in water.
