AI summary

Create your own tropical garden paradise with a layered planting strategy. Use feature plants for height, filler plants for body, and spiller plants for ground cover to achieve a lush, vibrant look.

These gardens thrive in warmer, frost-free regions like Tauranga north, but can work in Nelson with extra care. They require significant watering, regular feeding, and mulching to stay healthy. Complete the island vibe with accessories like water features, outdoor lighting, and tropical-themed decor.
