Autumn Tranquility in our Small Tropical Garden

Autumn is not the end of the garden season, it's the beginning of the new season! Many of the jobs like pruning, planting bulbs, collecting new plants, are already preparations for spring and summer.
There isn't much to change in the garden and I'm pretty satisfied how the garden has developed. The whole place is still looking green and exotic at the end of november, I really can enjoy a walk through the garden after a rain shower, the atmosphere is very calming. Enjoy!

Btw not only the plants are highlighted in this video, also the fallen leaves! They are key to my garden! The leaves prevents weeds, encourages worms, makes the soil fluffier and rich and it's also a winter protection for the more tender plants.

Below are some plant names and highlights:
