One of my fave conservatory tours ever! Love to see two knowledgeable persons respecting each other.

I can confirm that the Mimosa plants, called dormilona here in Costa Rica, are an invasive pest in the tropics. They are thorny, rambling and fairly resistant to most herbicides. Luckily the seeds don't tend to spread far from the mother plant. So if you put on leather gloves and pull them before they go to seed you can generally eliminate them in a season or two, but it's a lot of work.

Thank you so much for this tour of the conservatory. I cannot get enough of your plant tours and videos. The mimosa is probably one of my favorite plants. But not that mimosa in the video. Each time I mention a mimosa people think of one of the two. The sensitive plant or the Albizia julibrissin. But when I moved to far west Texas in the desert, I found our native mimosas. Mimosa texana and Mimosa borealis. At bloom time in the Spring, a limb on this shrub is a beauty with the blooms all lined up. Keep up the great work.

Loved this tour! There is a paradise-like atmosphere there, with such great variety. Your practised, knowledgeable tour-guide was just as wonderful, as the surroundings. Like the technical devices too. Architects might want to think about these for us in the near future. Further success in all of your ventures. Hope everyone gets to follow Summer and her team's footsteps into this worldly garden.

This was great and brought back memories! I studied horticulture at Cornell nearly 40 years ago. I would often spend hours at this site decompressing after exams. The former greenhouse was more jungle like with an enormous vanilla orchid rambling up to the rafters. Can’t wait to revisit to check out the new construction and technology!

I've had good luck with a home mix 1 C water, a squirt of liquid dish soap, a 1/2 tsp. liquid fert. and 1/2 tsp. cooking oil....mix it up spray it on leave a minute or 2 no longer...it loostens hard scale and coats pest bugs..then they remove easily, when rinsed off thoroughly. Do not save mix after use. Repeat as needed.

Really cute story about the banana cutting :D My enthusiasm for plants was also solidified by a lovely probably-breaking-the-rules worker at a botanical collection. She would often pass me little bags of soil mix, expired seeds, and the occasional plantlet or two, and ALWAYS patiently listen to my 7-13 year old ramblings on all the cool plants I had read about, and what I had spotted in the botanical garden that day. I'm actually still in contact with her, she works for the Natural History Museums here in Copenhagen, and I've given her back many plants and seeds I've collected from my life and travels abroad. Nurture children's interests in plants, if they've got any. Same with other hobbies or interests. Even expensive interests have an affordable starting point, and you can always supplement what you can't afford to buy them. Little handouts, books, browse some cool informative webpages with them, and make an effort to go visit collections or events about their interests. I can't tell you how amazing it was to have a lovely botanical gardens shop worker to release my enthusiasm for plants onto, when no one in my own family really cared that much :P And the fact that she went out of her way to facilitate and encourage my interest... just absolutely invaluable.

How strange. Ive never heard of this man. Mind you Im not a student of horticultural history. I really only know of a few British ones like Joseph Banks who died 1820 aged 77 after a career as a botanist and plant collector. Also involved in the development of Kew Gardens into the world's largest botanical gardens. One or two other plant hunters but mostly gardeners such as Capability Brown, Gertrude Jekyll, Humpfry Repton. And of course the Royal Horticultural Society that was founded in 1804 to promote horticulture. We did read about a few French designers as part of our general dip into garden history on my horticulture course. I am aware though, of the fact that US mental hospitals started planned use of horticulture as part of their treatment routines long before the UK. Although gardening had long been an activity carried out by UK asylum inmates its focus had been on food production rather than therapy. Thank you US for leading the way. (I worked in mental health).

Mimosa pudica is native to Mexico and Central and South America. I think the trick with Aristolochias is that the female stage happens before the pollen release, and the plants keep the insects incarcerated throughout the two stages. First the traped insect pollinates the receptive stigma, if it's already visited another flower beforehand. Then, as the male reproductive parts start releasing pollen, the tube hairs become flaccid, so the insect has a chance to carry the flower's pollen to new receptive female organs on different flowers. Also, you missed the other pitch plant, Cephalotus follicularis.
