Tour of my first garden! - Work in progress, suggestions welcomed! 🌳🍃🌺

Let's take a small break from Orchids and look at some of the plants I have in my garden so far! It is still summer here, it's very hot and planting isn't recommended.. but I just couldn't wait :)))

Oh my god im so excited for you! Im a horticulturist and the best suggestion I can give you is that when you have the funds, i suggest you change the pebbles to mulch because the rocks are just going to absorb more heat and cook the root system of some plants. Plus they reflect light too, so thats why is preferred mulch that decomposes and helps feed the beds and the plants in them.

Tricks to cool your garden : High trees or shade sails for shade, replace the rocks for bark and plant climbing plants on the walls. I'm really looking forward to updates on your garden!

[lindaredondo]

I would get rid of the white rock. It keeps and reflects the heat. I would replace with a bark. Bark helps cool the soil and area. Use tons of compost on everything. Good luck with your new garden.

I've never heard anyone make the word "pergola" sound so lovely

Love your new garden. I am in a desert valley just north of Los Angeles, California, USA and our weather appears the same as yours. Summers are hot, up to and over 37C with low to very low humidity. This summer we were up to 48C. We get rain mostly in the winter, never in summer. Plumeria grow like crazy. Our neighborhood was once a citrus orchard so we have orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees. Hibiscus also grow wonderfully -- I planted them to feed the red and pink flowers to my desert tortoise, Walter. Both the hibiscus and plumeria grow and bloom better when planted in the ground instead of pots. I have many plumeria in pots as people are always giving me cuttings. They grow and bloom but the ones I have in the ground are amazing. I would also suggest agapanthus (Lily of the Nile) and amaryllis. They bloom beautifully and winter over without dropping their leaves because it rarely gets near freezing. I have a shade house for my orchids where I mostly grow cattleyas and Australian dendrobiums. I look forward to seeing your garden updates. .

Dear Danni, congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤ i am so happy for you🌹🌹🌹
You look beautiful ❤️
Enjoy your new garden and take it all in, God bless you🙏🏻

For the big white wall behind the roses, I would suggest a structure from wood that you could hang pots with whatever plants you want. It would be nice the wall to have flowers or plants when the roses are not in bloom

I live in the south east of France and the climate is becoming increasingly dry and hot. To help our plants adapt/survive, we use mulch at the base of the plants and also shade sails. Rosemary, aloe, yuccas are among the most tolerant plants. Olive trees too.

Our lady of the night is just blooming tonight, there flowers give off a wonder full sent and are not that difficult to grow. Blooms last only one night, so when it blooms it’s kind of special.

[vicente]

Reminds me of the weather here in Madrid. Things scorch, especially since we have been getting more frequent heatwaves. Trachelospermum jasminoides does well in full sun, roses look nice in spring and autumn, some succulents do better than others… it’s trial and error 💪

[MayconAreasMUA]

Danny, you garden will look amazing with schomburgkias, epidendruns, cyrtopodium, long stem small flower oncidiuns... With a regular water schedule i think you can do it even mounted!!! Look for their natural habitat and see if you can mimic the water seasons of the plants!!! I think you can do it... 💚😘

[NorthbertR]

It will look really gorgeous when all those plants fill the space :-) Thank you for sharing.

You could grow host plants for butterflies so they can lay eggs on them!! Just find out what butterflies are in your area and plant a host plant for them.

[FrediOlson]

Lovely tour of your new garden. Train the Bougies on the wall! They will love it.

[dorafacio]

Love to see your happy face and smile, now that you guys are in your own house, and happy to see that very soon is going to be a beautiful paradise.
God bless you, your husband and your beautiful house.

Hey Danny, I don't think anyone has said this but some of those hibiscus have leaf curling disease. Most commonly by overwatering do be careful that they don't rot. Also many succulents would do good maybe try some aeoniums. They look wonderful. More of the tree type of aeoniums. They go dormant in summer so no need to water as often.

[zoltanjenei]

Congratulations! I hope you will find a lot of joy in your garden. If you can, I think removing the crushed rock and putting down mulch (pine bark, wood chips) would work better for mentioning moisture, cooling, and would improve the soil too.

[apriloconnor]

Congratulations on your new Garden Danny, good luck with all your plans and plants.

[MIchelle-cairn_mom]

lol i have a lot of the same hot climate plants 😂
Try olive trees (dwarf non fruiting) and Alygyone if can find them.
Keep the “path “ for now. 😉
