Too many people worry about the thorns when it comes to child friendly gardens. In my experience, kids avoid things with spines... Palms are also a great way to create shade in a garden, especially for play areas, and thick plantings of palms and jungle growth plants (sorry Fu!) are a good way to create microclimates in your garden that are cooler than the surrounding air. Perfect around patio and al fresco areas. You just need to do it right and condition the soil before hand as Fu is always telling us. I have learnt so much from him in that respect |
