If I ever make it to Croatia, I know now the first door I'm knockin' on for a garden tour. Very nice gardens.

Very beautiful garden and home. Thank you for the photos.

Stunning gardens. I think if the wall was not such a strong blue it would dissappear in all the plants! My favorite type of landscape.

Very nice garden, you also look like that one Australian guy I saw on YouTube about some carnivorous plant documentary.

Awesome pics! Love the seating area and how you managed to integrate the 'cultural' elements with the plants using colors and shapes. Truly masterful.  What zone were we in again...?

Your garden shows what a passion for your work can do.  I love seeing this because it proves that you dont have to be an expert to do great things, you just need to care and work hard.  many people in the business here (whatever it means) never achieve this or even care to.  Its people like you and others on this forum that can show the rest of the world how great plants can be.

thanks ❤️ ...yea you can become expert on anything if you put passion and hard work for yrs.....after seeing thousands of beautiful gardens around the world always want to bring some part in your own garden so its a mix with more gardening styles.

Well done...nice layout and selection of plants.

How long does it take to look after it? I only have 40 pots and I spend an hour per day.

from period to period..after winter/early spring its always cuting down all dead/messy leaves about 7-10 days getting everythin in shape...sometimes you ned to cut down overgrown opuntia or go inside the pond and cut all leaves of lotus and clean it...then few days  mulching and feeding..5-10 days spraying against RPW and paysandisia...planting or replanting...but i live here so on daily routine i cut or do something...summer time can be boring with watering every 2 days for 2hours..i still dont have pipeline , but big tank that water truck deliver so always calculating what to water....its still managable for us to keep garden lush and tydy and have time to enjoy in it.

Stunning garden what a great achievement! I bet it's a lot of work to keep up with the maintenance but from my observations you have it well under control.

What a labor of love, the way that you have crafted lush green “walls” throughout so many outdoor spaces with so many different species of plants integrated with palms, flowers and bamboo creates such a feeling of privacy, it looks so serene I hope to achieve a similar look around my backyard someday!
