Today’s video is a plant shopping trip to Sunk Island Garden Centre to the east of Hull with Mark Goodlad of 'Crazy Tiki Garden' fame and we share some of the amazing range of exotic, tropical style and jungle plants they have for sale! Let's be honest, this was very much just an excuse to see some cool plants and for Mark fill my van with rare plant purchases but we do try to weave in some UK tropical style garden tips and 'sensible' plant ideas on the way. Sure, they have some incredible tree fern trunks, palms, Tetrapanax and bananas but if you already grow those and want more botanical wow factor in your garden then you might just want to see some of the Kalopanax, Abutilons, Hedychium ginger plants and bromeliads too! Now the peak bedding season is coming to an end, the polytunnels are filling up with both hardy and tender exotics and we also check out their behind the scenes propagation & rare plant areas too. Amazing plants, a mega friendly team and a top cafe too - the perfect plant road trip for us northern folk in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and beyond. We'll certainly be heading back to Sunk Island to see what else Dave and Shaun are propagating and selling very soon and you should visit too!
