He has aesthetically combined the use of many types of tropical plants with decks, a pool, water features, curving pathways and created a garden of pure beauty. Included among his plantings are Royal Palms, Dypsis, Veitchia, Wodyetia, and many other genera. His garden emphasizes companion plants with color everywhere.
