A Thai style backyard garden

There are 2 words to explain Thai garden: utilitarian and superstitious. Utilitarian – Since the weather is hot, the Thais prefer to grow shade trees around their houses. Besides, as an agrarian society, most of them are fruit trees, which are also edible. Other plants are herbs, vegetables and those with fragrant flowers to pay homage to Buddha image, worship the guardian spirit and for owner’s appreciation. Superstitious – The Thais have a belief of auspicious plants. They prefer to grow the plants that have names suggesting “good luck”, “support”, or “popularity”. They also have the exact siting for these plants i.e., which set of plants should be grown in which direction to
get the best “result” according to this belief.

The overall atmosphere of traditional Thai house is shady and serene with no specific pattern.

The layered effect in Thai gardens require the planting of structural plants such as trees and palms, forming the “bones” of your Tropicalgarden design, to which Planted Passion willadd foliage and flowers. Bougainvillea, used in pots with Frangipani and Hibiscus.
