How to design an island garden. Tropical gardens can look excellent or straggly so the soil is a major starting ground to ensure your garden will thrive. But the first rule of creating perfect garden is to start at all and to know that nothing is ever perfect.

Dig out the grass within the perimeter and line the bed with attractive edging such as stones. Tropical plants like good rich soils that drain easily. Sand and heavy clay can be improved with compost heavy mulch layers approx 15cm or 6 inches thick and other soil improvers.
And if you miss some the lawn mower will get it next time around. Shape the island bed marking it of with paint or flour.
