Design Your Own Tropical Garden Paradise

Create your own lush, tropical garden using a layered planting plan. This involves using tall feature plants (like Pohutukawa), mid-level filler plants (like Hibiscus), and low-growing spiller plants (like Star Jasmine) to achieve a full, vibrant look.

These gardens thrive in warmer, frost-free climates from Tauranga north, but can succeed in Nelson with extra care. They require frequent watering, mulch, and regular feeding. Enhance the island feel with water features and outdoor lighting.
