Transforming a new home

Our name are Jonny and April , and we are from Barnsley in the north of England . We of late moved into a steel - new property with a rectangle of forage for a garden . Over the last five month we have transformed the garden into the beginnings of atropicalparadise , the main feature of speech being the pondless falls . Neither of us had ever undertake agarden projectbefore ; however , we have completed all of the piece of work ourselves through the manipulation of YouTube videos and online articles for help .

The planting is all on a tropical idea , with mainlysmaller plantswe can watch originate in ourselves , with a couple of larger treefernsandpalmsto provide some peak from the first .

The hard work has clearly paid off , with a dramatic tropic feel already established .
