Walk around any garden center nowadays and you may be surprised at just how much regular plants cost – let alone anything a little out of the ordinary. So what if I told you that you could have tropical cold-hardy plants for free? Well you may not believe me, but believe me you should as you can easily propagate many tropical cold-hardy plants with very simple propagation techniques. In this latest video myself and Lorna walk around our garden pointing out the plants of interest as well as discussing the propagation requirements of the easiest ones. In fact many of the plants you see here are already ones that we have propagated previously! Some require no skills at all! So why not join us on what could be the first step to obtaining plants for free. Please leave a comment and remember that you can support our channel by pressing the ‘LIKE’ and SUBSCRIBE’ button..

The botanical gardens found at Monte Palace, Madeira were an absolute delight. We found them by making a trip adviser search before we arrived but we were blown away by just how good they were on our real-life visit. Of all the gardens we visit, and to be fair they were all great, this one was by far the very best. In fact I would go as far and say that this was a would class garden! Now there are a number of water features here which have caused a problem with the microphone in places but despite this we hope you enjoy this garden which I believe was one of the first videos we ever made – hence out lack of  presentation skills.
