Mark's Crazy Tiki Garden Summer Tour 2024 - A UK Bali Jungle!
We're going back to Mark Goodlad’s amazing topical style Tiki garden in North Lincolnshire, England for today's summer tour video and it's looking better than ever! From practical garden design tips, tropical plant ideas and Tiki / Bali decor inspiration through to colour combinations and tender plant winter protection; there's lots of practical, helpful advice we COULD have discussed in this video. Instead, you're getting a tour of Mark's magnificent (some would say CRAZY) Tiki garden, heated tropical greenhouse and amazing new plants combined with a scattering of mediocre banter and gardening chat. We also discuss entirely relevant issues such as spending a grand on a specimen palm and Mark's little secret to getting mossy monkeys. I hope you enjoy it!

Gunnera x cryptica Banned in the U.K. - A Gardener's Thoughts & Questions
Hi George. Just a quick one on improving clay soil ready for planting (Palms) the following Spring. I'm on clay so I think a raised bed is the way. Would you just build it, fill with decent draining soil and leave the worms to assist improve the clay below or would you turnover the ground below , build the bed then fill with soil? Thanks
I have this one on high rotation 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Absolutely stunning. I am watching my third time around. So jealous(in a good way). I am in north Texas. No rain in ages. 105°F today, 108°tomorrow.....this is how it goes. We just keep things barely alive in August & Sept.
amicia for me here in Holland is hardier than phormium
Love all your vlogs. Back into gardening and smuggling plants past him in doors. God I’ve missed the excitement.
Hi I would like some advice for anyone please ,I’ve just dug out a part of my garden for tropical/jungle type garden ,I’ve got a few young palms planted and ferns but I also want to add a DA ,do you think it will look ok thanks in advance
Just curious, what would happen if I'd pot it in a pot and keep it in the house? I know it is large, but it would survive probably, right?
Love the wall💕💕💕
Where is Mark located, must be very mild! What were the coldest temps last winter?
Will ginger over winter in Zone 9 USA? Like cannas die but come back in spring.
it is amazing it looks so big 😍😍😍😍
Hi George, great videos! Where do you recommend storing overwintering ensete’s? I’ve watched your video on this and want to know would a garage be good enough? Many thanks.
what is the size of the garden
this is really cool, watching the video as we speak, whats the lowest maintence bamboo that would survive in the uk that will grow the quickest and spread as much as possible in garden soil
Hi George I’ve just bought a 3ft Trachycarpus fortunei do you think it will survive the winter
Nice one! They’re incredibly tough plants, where do you live and how cold does it get in winter?
@@GeorgesJungleGarden I’m in Scotland and at times it can get to minus 2 if we have a bad winter
I’m especially inspired by that greenhouse!
Amazing isn’t it! I’m sure Mark will have some more cool plants in there soon enough!
Absolutely beautiful, as usual. For dry shade (with which I deal a lot in my own garden) : mahonias, liriopes (variegated one for example) and ophiopogons (different varieties as well), aspidistras, as you mentionned it (look for aspidistra eliator "okame" and "asahi"), epimediums (some are evergreen), distylium (must be watered a little the first summer). I have found that dryopteris can tolerate very dry shade after a few years of struggle (and thus some help). Nandina are ok if it's not too shady. And variegated pittosporum tobira nana can tolerate some shade and love dry soils like others pitto. As for the colocasia part of the garden, I have not only pink china but also black ripple and gigantea : they stay in the ground and are doing well (Centre France, zone 8, minus 7-8 every year at night many times). Here, even ensete montbeliardii wouldn't survive in winter. Same with dicksonia antartica, would be far too risky. So with a good mulch, Mark's colocasias will be fine.
I live in Sydney, Australia and I have never seen a Wollemi (pronounced my) that good! The green is so lush!
Ciao Maestro, a question, do you protect your Gunnera in winters? Also, can you grow this plant in pot or container? Grazie
Wonderful
Thanks, it really is! Such a colourful and exciting paradise! 😃
The part of garden at36-37 min mark needs cast iron plants
Thanks for the suggestion, that was one of my ideas too! Very adapted to those conditions and they’d work well visually too 😊
Please do another walk through as you discussed in fall to see what it looks like then. Simply cool garden beyond words
Thanks, we’ll certainly try to! It’s really come on so much this year hasn’t it 😃
@@GeorgesJungleGarden yes love watching gardeners on UA-cam that are a work in process and keep carrying garden to another level.
@@GeorgesJungleGardenanother uk gardener to watch is Tiki Tropicals. Here in US there is a guy living in St Louis zone 6b channel calked Tropical Plants Party. You should give it a look. He actually stores large palms in a special storage area from November to April. Know a lot about tropical plants
I have a very dry and shady area in my garden. After several experiments I now have a group of large leaved Mahonias, M.acanthifolia, M. oiwakensis and M. lomariifolia underplanted with the variegated form of Aspidistra. They look very exotic . You should water regularly in the first year.
I forgot to mention that Mark should add Bentonite to the soil in this dry and shady spot (min 36-37). This will improve the water holding capacity of the soil.
Is the unidentified palm a Brahea edulis perhaps?
I think a Dr's visit is in order if your yoghurt is going that green
😂😂😂 I think he’s beyond the help of a doctor to be fair!
Great vid as always..re dry shade I'd say the most underrated of fern..the Harts Tounge/Asplenium Scolopendriums will do well there once established.
Thanks and I appreciate the suggestion! I grow them in my garden and they certainly form lovely plants once they’ve settled in. I’d certainly begin with experimenting with different ferns and a few more exotic plants adapted to the drier shade conditions and the area will form a really nice backdrop to the Aralias and bench.
@GeorgesJungleGarden yeah when they size and clump up they look great. If you squint they kind of look like birds nest ferns. Ones that do well for me in dry shade are also dryopteris atrata/cycadina and the male fern. Also chilienthes tormentosa like it dry and are silver but pretty small but would probably pop out a dark border
Well Captain, I've got to admire your balls! And not a bad gorgeous garden as well! :) Ref that dry shade area, personally I'd be inclined to not fight it and try something different there. With the seat and covered area in front of it, I think an ornamental raised pond / water feature could work well there with the water raised up just above seat height. You could put a high back on it which'll help to hide the fence and have some sort of water cascade/fall coming out of it.
Stunning garden. What a knowledgeable and insightful chap! 👋🏻 from Tasmania, Australia
Thanks @Berzyberz .im pleased you enjoyed the tour of the garden .iv never seen myself before talking gardens ,its funny watching yourself back. I hadnt realised i talk with my hands so much using hand gestures to finish my sentences showing how leafs curl up if they dont get water everyday how my bullmastiffs cant rip my stream with there paws dipping my paw in the stream 😅😅
Another fantastic video George. I love the way you two bounce off each other, I've smiled all though this video. Mark the garden is looking amazing, you can really see how much hard work you've put in. The colocasia patch looks great. I got a colocasia mammoth through the winter with a minimal covering of woodchip, at -5. Like you my garden is only a few years old and I've used pericaria as fillers, but I am planning to take a lot out next year a d add some more interesting plants. Looking forward to seeing how it all develops. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video guys. Mark your garden always looks great, and all the changes have been really adding up. Good luck with the Mule.
Loved the tour guys. I was very intimated by the deeply intense " Right plant, right place". Reminded me of Jack Nicholson's character in A Few good men, Colonol Nathan R Jessep. You wouldn't argue with either of them 😁. Great work from Mark. Moved up to the Champions League with the additions👏👏👍
Really enjoyed another look around Marks garden. It really is stunning. Plenty of inspiration. Cheers George 👍🏻
Thanks Stu, he’s put the work in and it absolutely shows! It’s looking so colourful and vibrant 😃
Stunning garden. I swear, you guys + Kris would be my best friends if I lived in your neck of Bali.
Thanks, it’s amazing! Haha yes, you certainly know where you are with most plants people and it’s always a laugh with Mark 😂
Wow 🤩 absolutely stunning and great to see the progress Mark ⚗️🌴 Fantastic as always George 💚 #dawns_garden_life xx
Thank you so much Dawn and yes, Mark’s made some big improvements this year hasn’t he! I’m excited to go back and see it again soon 😃
Brilliant video George! You have captured Mark’s Garden beautifully. I am in awe of Mark’s garden, he truly has taken it to the next level this year. You are both very talented gardeners and extremely funny together. Thank you for lifting my spirits and inspiring me. Xxx
Ahh thanks, that’s really kind of you and I’m so pleased it’s cheered you up! It’s amazing seeing how some of the smaller changes to areas has really tied the garden together isn’t it. It’s great to have somebody where you can just turn up, press record and know it’s going to be a fun chat, thanks for watching 😃
Been waiting to see marks garden again. What’s happening with the extra land he had to develop?? Love you guys together jollied my day along. Loved the garden as always 🐌🐌 I used cat litter the nasty cheep but sharp stuff on my cannas to get them out the ground 😉
Another great video and beautiful garden 👌
Thanks a lot Craig, Mark's made some impressive changes this year!
All out, balls and everything 😂 this is going to be good
Hahaha yes indeed, sounds just like something Monty Don would start off with!
The best video from the two of you so far, I had a good laugh, made my day. Even better than the shopping video.
Ahh thanks, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! The shopping trip was fun but seeing the improvements to Mark's garden really is impressive and it's great to hear it was a fun chat and walkaround!
Persicaira brushstrokes
Thanks a lot for confirming, it's a lovely colourful form!
I am inspired by what you guys have done with your gardens
Thanks Graham, Mark's made some really spectacular changes to his unique design this year!
Thanks George - really informative video. Jenny and Rogers garden is a dream!
Thanks Richard! It really is an amazing garden and I thought a closer look at some of the flowers would be a change from my mostly foliage vids!
Brilliant as always Is there any update on that big area Mark bought behind his house? or have I just missed that part of the video completely 😂
Thanks! He touched on it near the end, he's waiting for some planning / boundary details etc. to get ironed out so this main garden has been his focus this year. It'll be worth waiting for though I'm sure!
Amazing garden. I love the garden tours of this garden 😀
Thanks John! There’s something new to see every time and he’s really gone for it this year 😃
Well done Mark on your amazing fitness transformation as well as a stunning garden display. But you two boys are probably heading for time out in the naughty corner when the wives get wind of the risky doubleintendos haha 🤣
He’s out the work in and done great on both accounts hasn’t he! I don’t know about that, I can’t recall any innuendo in this video and won’t be held responsible for how you to choose to interpret anything 😂
It’s more expensive to create a topical style garden than a cottage garden…I know this because I have both. I’m pretty strict when it comes to my tropical area. No cottage plants or bulbs 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
It certainly can be and it's cool you have both. They can work well together but separating the styles can certainly give more impact. Individual plants and 'specimens' can certainly be more expensive if you're creating a tropical style but like any kind of gardening there's money to be saved through dividing and growing from seed - possibly also incorporating more 'normal' garden plants which fit the look. Fair play to you for really committing to the theme!
