Totally Tropical



Visit to The Jungle Garden
Who would have imagined what we would find behind this house in the suburbs?  
 Nick Wilson of the Jungle Garden
 When Nick Wilson moved to this property in 1988, it had a typical garden with a lawn and flower borders.  Inspired by family holidays in Cornwall, Nick has transformed this 85 x 27 ft space into a veritable jungle.  The shape and textures of the foliage, objects of interest at every turn and two ponds make this a fascinating garden which can be seen from walkways at differing heights.
