Thank you to Russel for adopting these rescue dogs. I also have two rescue dogs. Adopt, don't shop! There are millions of perfectly good dogs in shelters right now, and actually due to people getting pets over covid and then abandoning them, the shelter systems are in a crisis right now. And also for this reason, there are all breeds at the shelter, whatever breed you want, you can find at the shelters, you can search online as well, that's how I found my dogs. And they also have puppies. When you adopt a rescue dog, you are not only saving that dog, but you open up a space in the shelter so that another dog can be saved. I will always adopt rescues whenever I want another pet. Please always adopt rescues!
❤️❤️
Love the diversity of genera in Russell’s garden. Especially like all the bromeliads. I share his love of plants and animals, they do go together. He has a good heart!
Yes, his ❤️ for nature and other living things is heartwarming
Videos like this where you can see two great plant lovers like Irene (Leafing Around) and you (Only Plants), since both channels present us beautiful gardens with very beautiful exotic plants, this garden that you present to us is full of life with a large number of plants, some very rare, as well as beautiful, greetings.
Thank you. It is my (and Irene’s) pleasure to share these beautiful gardens and their stories ❤️
So immersive video in Russel's Garden and plant collection, with good questions about the collector, the gardener, his plant choices! Happy to see Irene too!!! So big heart to rescue dogs ❤❤and funny to see the treefrogs and to discover a lot of plants never seen before! In one word : the best video about Russel's paradise!❤❤
Thank you Cathie 🙏🏽🙏🏽
The nerd in me is loving all the technical explanations and descriptions! ❤
Completely agree that’s one of the reasons I subscribed to this channel. I always try to learn something new every day. Most people probably think I’m crazy for wanting to learn about plants and animals but idc what they think I love learning about all things nature. If more people cared to learn about nature the world would be a much better place in my opinion.
Nice!
Thank youuu ❤️❤️
The short attention span is just me. I love moving on from a plant and then circling back to it in a week or so.
❤️❤️
Salivating over his droopy pineapple plant. Gorgeous!
❤️
Very cool and the tree frogs were an unexpected bonus. New to me, so the astonishing cycads played second fiddle.😘
Thank you ❤️❤️
I have so much respect and love for animal rescuers ❤❤❤I already approve of him and I haven't even seen his garden yet! 😂
Nice 😀
Man, i could get lost in Russells garden...very interesting!!All types of unusual species of plant!
Thanks for inviting us along
I just seen em last week making a appearance on another! Lol..
Thank you for coming with ❤️
What a gorgeous garden and those frogs WOW,
😀😀
An absolutely phenomenal video, thank you so much!
😀😀
Truly amazing and you can see how much hard work and dedication went into making such an inspiring and beautiful garden. I hope my lil jungle will look as amazing one day. Definitely wish you all the best and keep up the great work 🙋♂️✌️
Thank you. This is lifelong dedication into the hobby. A lot of us just got started, but its nice to see where it can go! 😀
@@onlyplants the possibilities are endless 🤷♂️
Thank you for Sharing beautiful garden lovely plants collection beautiful video
You’re most welcome. Thanks for writing in!
Thank you for this video, his garden is amazing. Russel is such a nice person for his love of nature and animals. I adopted my Corgi from Yulin's meat market and he was shipped to the US from a organization in China who rescues the dogs. He also has a little problem with his back leg when going up and down stairs from being in a tiny cage. Going to subscribe to Russel's channel.
Thank you ❤️❤️ Russ doesnt have a channel but hes very active on instagram @journeythroughparadise
Really enjoyed 🤩. Wow collection. I always come to know many new things from your videos. Love from India 💙🌿🌳
Thank you 🙏🏽 I learn a lot when I travel and film too.
What a collection! And those frogs were so cute :)
Thank you. Nice to hear from a frog lover ❤️
Loved this garden. Thanks for the tour. ❤😊
Thank you ❤️❤️

God bless you both for supporting animal rights! I'm an advocate myself. ❤
We can see how a person is by how they treat animals ❤️
thanks for your Video.
Amazing 👍👍👍
Thank Sean... always be healthy and successful for you
Thank you. Wishing you health and success too
So glad you featured him. He is one of my favorite IG accounts.
I also check his account often, a wonderful soul with lots of knowledge and eye for beauty.
So many different and beautiful plant varieties other than rare aroids. Thank you for sharing!!!
You’re most welcome. Thank you for taking the time to write in
You're my male version in terms of plants and I'm his female version in terms of animals! I used to have a literal zoo. Unintentionally. Took me 4 hours a day just for my pet rounds. Name any animal, I had it! Lol
That’s awesome and I can basically say the same thing you name it I’ve had it 🤷♂️ I still have my own lil zoo just not as much as I used to. Life is to hectic at the moment with work and family time. But soon as I balance things out lil better I will get few more dream species to work with plant and animal wise. I haven’t gotten any new critters for awhile now except arachnids but I’ve still been getting more and more new plant species for my own lil jungle garden and more plants for all my bioactive enclosures. I do film a lot of my critters and projects not as much as I’d like to but I’m trying. Just got new cameras and laptop so more videos coming soon. Well I wish you all the best and hope you have a great day stay awesome 🙋♂️✌️
Omggg cute
Aw. All looks great and the Animals cute ❤
Thank you ❤️

Love love love this video. You should go back and do another. That guy has an amazing garden. I don't think you said how much land his garden covered. I loved this one.
Thank you. ❤️ He is actually very active in the Singapore plant community. A big brother figure.
Hey Shawn dillenia fruits are edible in my country we used to make pickle out from the middle part
Whoaaa interesting!
What an impressive garden, and Russel himself is so likeable! Does he have a TH-cam channel? I would watch that diligently! Russel, you probably don't have time, but if you ever start a TH-cam channel I think it would be very successful! I'd love to follow your plant and rescue dog journey!
He has an amazing instagram with loads of beautiful visuals and tidbits. I wish he has a youtube too!
One can spend the entire day in this garden. Did Irene went into the garden to take cuttings, haha.
Haha yes she did! Lol it was actually just for comedic relief 😀
Thanks for reminding me to take better care of my common ginger 💚
