The second Spanish garden is like a Japanese garden transposed to an arid climate. Greenery instead of flowers, tightly clipped shrub mounds, and a very controlled design that looks naturalistic. Beautiful.
This was such a fantastic garden guys, thank you so much for the tour! Being from the southwest US, these gardens are very similar to what we have here - with many of the same plants. I bet the fragrance was wonderful! P.S. Just so you guys know Agave is a spanish word and is pronounced (ah - gah - vey )
Thank you for another interesting video guys. I admire this style of gardening, perhaps because it's mainly impossible in the uk, where you'd need whellie boots to walk what would be muddy paths for most of the year.
Just loved these gardens, thank you. I have to have flowers in my garden, but loved the mounds and grasses. I’ve tried to get a similar look with Australian natives.
Hi I learned a lot from your videos,,thank you for sharing these. I would like to know plant varieties suitable for a dry creek bed. I live in mid blue mountains in NSW. My dry creek bed is used to direct storm water from the street away from my house. Thank you in advance.
it all depends on what effect you are trying to create. For instance a native look which could include many native rushes and grasses as well as a number of Melaleucas and Callistemons. There are also many exotic grassy plants as well as Shrubby dogwoods, dwarf willows and even giant Chilean Rhubarb might work. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists thank you very much, I am using a mix of natives and exotics in other parts of my garden. So I am thinking of continuing the same pattern and adding a mix from your suggestions. I really appreciate your help. I have applied knowledge gathered from your videos to my gardening.
Yes I loved that barbed wire comment too. Also love Ruth & Barrys trees.
Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it. Regards Stephen
I agree with Stephen, lovely to look at ... but I love a lot of variety in my garden and definitely not rows of roses! The cork tree is beautiful
Thanks for watching!

I don't like rows of rose either! Love the humor.
Thanks for watching!
Where ever you visit the gardens are lovely. Interesting to see how gardens look with climate and plant restrictions.
I agree and found these gardens fascinating as well. Regards Stephen
Fabulous tough plants. I have 2 of Ruth's cork oak seedlings growing in the paddock and already over 2 metres tall after 5 years.
Aren't they tough and unlike some of us they grow into stunning old age? Regards Stephen
Very unique gardens wonder if pomegranate would grow in sub tropics though
Thanks for sharing Stephen & Matt love the videos with a 🍷

A well drained site in full sun might do it. Regards Stephen

nothing wrong with seeing how the other half live ! Regards Stephen

You can do it! Regards Stephen
Love these gardens. Not sure the style would work for me. I am in the UK with clay soil and 😢
It wouldn’t work for me either but more because I’m a plantaholic! Regards Stephen
I am a self confessed plantaholic too😊😊
Thanks for sharing, very interesting.
