The Jungle Garden by Philip Oostenbrink
This book takes the houseplant look outside by exploring the wonders of lush, green, foliage plants that are hardy in the garden. These big-leaved, larger-than-life plants provide year-round impact and small, urban gardens that are well protected are the perfect home for them. Learn how to choose and use exotic plants to make exuberant gardens.Philip Oostenbrink began gardening at the age of 4 in his father's allotment and grandmother's garden. The jungle plant obsession took hold after a trip to Tresco on the Isles of Scilly. After teaching horticulture at a secondary school for 8 years, Philip moved to Kent first as Deputy Head Gardener at Hadlow College and then as Head Gardener at Canterbury Cathedral. He is now Head Gardener at Walmer Castle where one of his first projects has been to plant a jungle garden in the moat. He leads tours of the garden and has written for RHS The Garden and The Professional Gardeners' Guild magazines. Philip holds 4 National Collections and in 2019 he and his garden featured on BBC Gardener's World. He is a regular garden expert on a BBC Radio Kent lifestyle programme.
