Lovely garden, love to see plenty of plants that have been going a while, there where multiple my (rather unexperienced) eyes had not seen at such size before 😄 Great atmosphere from the background music. The way you talk already has a calming effect on me, he music accompanies it well. Thank you for another great tour!

Just loved the tour. Thanks so much Kevin and Kris. So much to see. A palm lover's paradise. Beautiful brahea. The Juania was the icing on the cake. Just superbly put together from an understated guy who clearly loves his plants. Does he ever open his garden for the RGS scheme. If so I'd be over there like a shot to see it. Brilliant 👏👏

@YorkshireKRIS 8 ай бұрын

Kevin doesn't open his garden to the public but hope this video tour gives you a good idea of what it's like. It's a treasure trove of plants.

@brenmuk 8 ай бұрын

Great video. Prefer without music and appreciate plant names. I recognise Kev Spence from the growing on the edge forum and more recently his own KZfaq channel.

@henrywaterhouse6291 8 ай бұрын

Great plants, the jubaea is awesome, incredible growth from 2010 freeze. The grass tree is one of the best in the UK. Ive found my fibrosa hardier this winter than the antarctica. Great different areas in the garden.

@amphetaminelogic7006 8 ай бұрын

Lost for words here...Absolutely spectacular Kevin! I was suprised by martianus, latisectus and som eother stuff, but absolutely stunned by the Juania! have ever tried Livistona (i have 4 species here of it surviving pretty well in 8a with some help)? Greetz from an NL exotics nut in 8a . Cheers Kris for filming this beautyful garden!

@YorkshireKRIS 8 ай бұрын

There's a huge range of palms in Kevin's garden but no Livistona. I'm sure Kevin will have tried them in the past but I'll ask.

@georgescholey8978 8 ай бұрын

Kris I loved this but agree about the background music. What would be more helpful for newbies like us is subtitling the names of the plants as they are discussed. Thanks.

I've also had the opposite comment saying the music's relaxing so it's personal preference really

Can you possibly re upload without the music the vocals clash with interesting gardening chat ?

It's always a compromise. Some people prefer it with music. I added music on the lowest setting as it was very quiet between the speaking parts. I'll see what I can do

great video Kris , I'm amazed what he's growing there . I used to go to Loughborough to dog training classes, i know how cold it can get in winter. What a fantastic selection of plants. Thanks for sharing your Garden with us all Kevin . A couple more palms i may try in my garden after watching this.

Question! I spot a Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum at around 40:45, does that stay outside? I heard it can take some frost, asked 2 fellow UK tropical plant fanatics about that recently but they both didn't have experience with the plant outside

@YorkshireKRIS 8 ай бұрын

Well spotted. It was in a pot. They cope OK with the odd frost when they have an overhead canopy but really are houseplants over winter

@Tminus89 8 ай бұрын

Thanks, I'll save that one for when I have a bigger space to move plants to in the winter then:)
