Love the look of a tropical garden, lush with cannas, palms, bananas and bougainvillea (figure A)? If you have an area of ground (figure B) that you'd love to see awash in the colors of the tropics, this is the project for you! Using design software, Weekend Gardening host Maureen Gilmer demonstrates how to create this jungle paradise -- even if you live at or near a frost line. Learn how to design and plant a West Indies style garden, complete with a water garden, and follow simple instructions to protect them from cold nights.
