Picton Castle Gardens – The Jungle Garden

I am generally not a fan of using jungly, tropical plants in UK gardens as they feel so out of place and our light doesn’t enhance their characters. Such gardens are usually made in small city spaces designed with a lot of hard structures included.

However the Jungle Garden at Picton Castle Gardens had no formal structural design elements, no hard landscaping just meandering pathways for wandering along among fabulous plants with big leaves, occasional bright colours and eventually heavy rain.

The heavy rain began as infrequent drops slowly increasing, so we made our way out of the jungle towards the glasshouse and the shelter it afforded us. I did stop a few times despite getting wetter, trying to find shelter, in order to take a few more photographs.
