If you’ve never been, Pistoia is one of those places that quietly powers gardens across Europe. Row after row of specialist nurseries, growers who know their craft inside out, and plants that make you stop mid-walk and think: Right. We need that.
Imagine stepping into your garden and being instantly transported to a lush, tropical paradise - a haven of vibrant colours, swaying palms, and exotic foliage that delights the senses year-round.
So how do you create that tropical feel to your garden without it feeling, less than authentic. I’m a sucker for an Australian looking garden but lots of the plants only work here as indoor plants so use plants that do work here and add foliage, colour and palms and tropicals that do.
