This man is a legend. I love how humble he is, despite all his knowledge, he maintains that he still does not know it all. Awesome. I wish more people were like him.

@glitter2glaze21 2 года назад

I totally agree. I have watch some volggers whom have degrees but are not Botanist and have no horticultural degree over talk Masters in the studies of Botany and I cringe! They need to hear this humble man with much knowledge say "we don't know everything!"

Wow Irene!!! Thank you for bringing us along on the tour of the garden. I am really thankful for RU-vid that I can be introduced to Dr Ng while sitting in my warm house surrounded by snow in Minneapolis Minnesota. He was patient and engaging. You could definitely see his passion for plants. I will have to check my Library but am almost certain that I have that book. Thanks again for an interesting and informative video and pop some of those Begonias in the ground! Good luck and happy growing 🪴

@lilytoh3580 2 года назад

The most awesome part of the garden is being able to grow avocado and tampoi trees and have their fruits mature and ready to pick. That is truly successful gardening management in only a thin layer of soil

@theboss_yt4823 2 года назад

@margaretsoo 2 года назад

Fantastic achievement and what a hidden gem! I sure hope to be able to visit this secret garden and to meet Dr. Ng for an autograph …. Just wonder - who takes care of this paradise other than Dr. Ng himself? This is his precious legacy ….but I have never read or heard about it …

@ltaporco6384 2 года назад

Irene I am truly a fan of your videos. You make me laugh, esp when you do scripted videos. One of my favorite is with the "only plants guy". I wish I could grow some of your plants in your country in California. Also thank you for all your tutorial videos. Keep up making awesome videos. Thank you!

@jacquelineong6546 2 года назад

Thank you for this tour. Met Dr. Francis the last time I was at The Secret Garden. Always learn something new from him as he's willing to share his wealth of knowledge. I am a fan! Keeping my fingers crossed to win a copy of his book which I have been coveting for awhile. :)
