A tropical vacation (to Samana, Dominican Republic) last year inspired me to create my own backyard beach and tropical garden. People thought I was crazy but I had a vision of tropical flowers, palm and banana trees around me and sand beneath my feet. I researched and found a way to incorporate hardy tropicals: hardy hibiscus, banana and palm (trachycarpus fortunei). And ordered tons of sand/soil etc. I was on a very tight budget but managed to make it happen. Thanks so much to Kev for removing sod, building the flagstone patio, engineering the beach etc. It took a lot of hard work but we made it happen!
Note -- This video features my own original song, Summertime.
(I had originally posted this video with another song but they blocked it. So I'll use one of my own songs! I have enough of them! Just further proof to go after your dreams even when obstacles come up! Don't let them get you down!) :)
@Max1Chase1 Thank you! Good luck with yours! :)
