Application for Urban Tropics

Since we moved into our new Dubai desert home, I always knew that I wanted to add a more tropical feel to the backyard but just didn't have the courage to start.

Upon the arrival of our new patio furniture, I decided that I needed a garden that I wanted to look at... so the tropical transformation began.


Before.

Plants delivered.

New tropical border. The traveller palm is my favorite.

While this corner will need some time, it was the biggest change. We had a huge pile of sand removed and planted a coconut palm.

We bought this copper cantene, which is surrounded by desert grass and river rocks.
