A Jungle Stream Garden Transformation & Growing Hardy Exotics with Shane Bilson

Today's video is a visit to Shane Bilson's garden in Stoke on Trent, a fantastic jungle stream garden and beautiful pond planted up with a variety of hardy exotic plants, beautiful flowers and some really rare specimens I haven't seen before! Shane is a professional gardener who enjoys experimenting with unusual plants and creating a subtropical paradise in his garden - well, maybe considering the climate on the west side of the Pennines 'rainforest' would be more appropriate! With high levels of rainfall year-round and often brutally cold winters (below -10 this previous 'mild' winter!), Shane knew moving to this colder area would present gardening challenges, but in just three years the garden transformation he's achieved really is remarkable - the stunning back garden stream area is just one year old! We talk about creating a garden stream, how Shane built his large garden pond and obviously, all about his incredible bamboo, Aralias and the plants which we both find fascinating. I hope you enjoy this chat and exotic garden 'summer' tour with Shane, not only is the hard landscaping and planting inspirational but he's also hugely generous with his knowledge and has some valuable planting tips and overwintering inspiration for those of us growing palms, Schefflera, exotic trees and shrubs in colder areas. Above all, I really think the combination of easy low-maintenance perennials, quick and cheap flowers plus majestic rarities like Brassaiopsis and Kalopanax Shane has put together is not just botanically interesting for real exotic plant enthusiasts, but a beautiful and tranquil space that anyone can appreciate.
