Garden tour: Spanish formal and court yard gardens. 

Looking forward to seeing more Spanish gardens.

I did study abroad in Costa Rice, and those Spanish courtyard gardens really brought me back. The plant selection in Costa Rican courtyards gardens is quite different (unsurprisingly, given the massive climate differences), but they were of a similar vibe: fun, casual, bright, refreshing, cool and airy, and full of personal character. It is no surprise that they are so popular in so many different places and culture.

Wonderful. That wall of plumbago was stunning!

Looking forward to it, on holiday there soon

I have been on an ASA tour before. It was to Japan in Autumn. I went by myself, met lots of great fellow gardening tourists and Japan in Autumn was fantastic. I would do it all again.

Fabulous as usual…

Hi guys, if you ever go to Seattle, you MUST visit Elandan Garden, the landscaping is amazing and so are the bonsai, seeing as it is a bonsai garden, there are some trees estimated to be 2000 y.o. The scenery is just beautiful and the owner Dan Robinson loves to talk to people about his trees and his garden, you might learn a lot of interesting things about trees from him.

Beautiful. Thank you both. I wonder if the ponds were designed with what they would reflect in mind?

Hey Stephen! Do you happen to sell Lespedeza thunbergii Gibraltar? I haven’t finished watching this episode yet but I’m enjoying it. And my signals been behaving itself.

I’m also chasing Crocosmis Lucifer which I can’t find anywhere. I had it in my former garden & would like it again. Are you selling it?
