At The Moment,

everything is so cold, grey and gloomy, the news, the weather and the outlook,


so it was nice to see this story, full of warmth and colour, all photographs and the story from Caters NewsDavid and Sandra Traynor moved into their semi-detached house in Stourport, Worcs in March 2016, but thought their back garden was bland and saw an opportunity to use their green fingers, and after just two and a half years transformed this,

into this lush tropical paradise,

“It’s taken us about two years to transform it from just a lawn, the whole point was to put something together that was our personal fantasy”

David said:  “We managed to get all of the main elements together in about three months, three years on, the garden is now full to bursting with tropical plants from all across the world, all tightly planted to create a dense layered and natural feel, We wanted our tropical garden to be an immersive experience, where we walk down narrow pathways, whilst brushing past plants that dwarf us”

“The main advantage of this style of garden, is that even in the depths of winter, it is always lush and verdant, couple this with the fact that we hardly have to do any weeding, and you have inner view the perfect all year garden, it can be a lot of work, but it is definitely worth it, as we both spend more time in the garden than in the house!” what a lovely garden, if only we had one!
