Description

Will Giles Exotic garden in Norwich is renowned for growing plants that supposedly shouldn’t survive on the East coast of England, but in fact they do! The garden is open in high summer when you can visit the garden in all its glory. Be transported to the tropics and see houseplants in the garden and Bromeliads in the branches of trees surrounded by lush tree ferns. The garden of about 1 acre in size is an immense mix of planting from the ludicrously tender to the dead hardy, all having an exotic appearance in nature. In high summer, the garden becomes quite magical, full of hidden corners and riotous colour. The air is filled with the intoxicating scent of Jasmine, Brugmansia (Angels trumpets) and different varieties of Hedychiums and Alpinias. (Gingers). The ridiculously large leaved Elephants Ear, Colocasia esculenta, ‘Mammoth’ with luscious green leaves 2x3 feet in size on long stems. Towering bananas such as the purple Abyssinian banana Ensete ventricosum ‘Maurelii’, form massive canopies to walk under as do the root hardy banana Musa basjoo.
