Creating a Relaxing Jungle Garden Escape with Georgina Yates

Описание: Today's video is a visit to Georgina Yates and her beautiful tropical rainforest / jungle garden near Sheffield. Georgina is a fern fanatic and her garden really is a green sanctuary, a place to relax away from a busy life. Previously working in retail, after the birth of her daughter Georgina retrained and entered the world of horticulture and now works at Brodsworth Hall and Gardens near Doncaster alongside other English Heritage properties, whilst developing her own garden and passion for foliage plants alongside. Created over the last fifteen years and often on a tight budget, this garden really is a labour of love and requires minimal winter care due to the use of tough and hardy exotic plants able to thrive in a wet & North facing Yorkshire garden complete with frost pockets and windy conditions. In this video we chat about garden design ideas, tips to create a resilient jungle garden on a budget as well as how you can get so much out of a garden over many years without needing to put in as much as you might expect.
