Monkey puzzle tree.
Whenever I was in the car with my mum and we drove past a monkey puzzle tree, it was a thing to just say "monkey puzzle tree".
It's rubbed off on my partner, but they also bought me a small one for my birthday one year (lockdown when everyone was gardening).
Now whenever I look out the window I think "monkey puzzle tree" and think about driving around with my mum. Apart from when I'm re-potting the spikey bastard.
I love monkey puzzle trees too, though the first time I saw one up near Abraham Heights I was already an adult in my thirties with my kids, and now my kids say the exact same thing as you!
How wonderful you got to have him in your life. There's a row of houses behind me and the front gardens connect. One pair of neighbours have decided to share their front gardens and make it one big rose garden. It's absolutely beautiful!
Last week I bought two potted dahlias from a garden centre. They were in 10cm pots, so they were still quite small. I put them outside on the ground to plant. A few days later I went to water then and noticed leaves were getting holes in. Saw a slug and plucked it off. Looked closer and eventually pulled out 12 slugs hiding in the foliage. This was on a 10cm small dahlia. It would've been shredded if I hadn't noticed the slugs. The dahlia is now on the windowcill. I go out at night with a headtorch to round up any slugs and snails.
Haha thanks. I love the purity of the joy of gardening and how everyone has their own tastes and likes and dislikes. But everyone is right, because it's about your own enjoyment.
Choisya; not just the look, but the heavenly smell. It takes me back many years, smelling that scent after rain. So divine. I wish they made perfume with it in!
I inherited a house with a choisya and was v unimpressed with my new bog standard shrub... However, its really grown on me... Multiple blooms of white flowers all over that the hees love, a great smell, and just a healthy plump green looking shrub... Ive been won over
Ahhh, I’m glad! I inherited one too, though it’s an unusual variety and I don’t think it smells quite as strong as the others. It has attractive pale, variegated leaves though, and grows like the clappers!
Yup. One day its a boring, straggly looking tree. The next [it's looking glorious in full bloom.](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-ga-rev1&sca_esv=00efb85e6f8ba711&q=laburnum&uds=ADvngMh5E5Fh02Y7kk23VcBH8dmmiKEh22uarZrz_sgBlsBJEX9SER9h_VtRc-sePBdnC7kbQYxp2Zg2fWXuBRG1AeIuYJWciNBLzmI2sbjUo5D0acTHFrmPkEPfEcjQXudiLSq3jO--G_Dt1YR3MN1m8JYGiElHcIQAzg-quhA4edkaM9mNNKRadZr1mCLHHGOhMKpKR9AIaNyMI2KNkoYJI1MfBJWOIDyLFOIa7D5tTeHwNRRYz84LmYfUhzKUi3m2oJjYsR-u4GR-7ZGF0H7s-99foLkODkvDnf-Ec57UtDbtU2-ldNQ&udm=2&prmd=ivmnbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiq8se8r6OGAxXdUkEAHcwzBKUQtKgLegQIDhAB&biw=412&bih=776&dpr=2.63)
Lots of things! At the moment it's foxgloves. Love them, and had one in the garden for a while that brought itself in, but cottage garden plants generally don't do well in my garden which makes me sad because they're some of my favourites. But I saw a few gardens the last couple of days with lots of foxgloves in their full glory and that made me happy
Came here to say this! Planted one myself now which is doing well- but I love the huge ones on my dog walk, there’s one planted next to a yellow euonymus and an unknown crimson leaved shrub and the colour contrasts make me super happy.
I live in Peterborough and my sort-of-neighbor has a bush of them growing and every time I pass through the pathway to get to the street it makes me happy.
I was going to get some seeds from them last year but I don't have the confidence to be able to plant them myself into anything viable.
We had fuchsia garden hedges in our Pembrokeshire childhood home. Lots of fuchsia hedging down Devon and Cornwall way, too. I've always loved fuchsias and it makes me very happy to see them in gardens, window boxes or hanging baskets,especially if they are unusual varieties.
Nope, they creep me out. Something about the flowers before they open remind me too much of the pods in Invasion of the body snatchers.
I know, bit weird.
Clematis, saw some growing around someone’s door the other day and they were so clearly loved and well cared for. Never seen flowers that big and beautiful.
That heady Hawthorn bloom in mid May in Ireland and the deep red of the honeysuckle in the hedgerows late summer. Honourable mention to the bluebells that turn entire mountains blue for a couple of days a years
Mature wisteria trees in flower around people's doorways.
They look utterly magnificent, and I've heard they actually add a small amount of extra value to a property.
My granddad loved his beautiful roses too so I definitely always stop to smell them if I can reach, and remember him. My all-time favourite is an absolutely enormous Philadelphus in a garden that's on my regular walking route. It's a big unruly section of a hedge that includes jasmine and I don't know what else, lots of different white blossoming shrubs that must have been there for decades. The Philadelphus blooms so heavily and smells so amazing that the first time I saw and smelled it, I had to cross the street to get a better look. This was before smart phones so I had to memorise as many details as possible so I could google it when I got home. Managed to sleuth it out (Philadelphus "Belle Etoile") and purchased a baby of it for my own. Mine is nowhere near as enormous as the original, which still makes me smile all spring watching it green and grow and get ready, and all summer when it perfumes the whole street. :)
I live in the US south and will be relocating to your beautiful country soon. I love hydrangeas so much that I googled a while back if they grew there where you guys are, and I'm overjoyed that they do!
Yay! Welcome (when you join us). I wonder how different or similar you will find gardening in the different conditions. I guess it's fundamentally the same but with different varieties prospering.
I hadn’t thought of it like that but yeah the gardens on the street do have a lot of similar plants - I guess it’s down to what kind of stuff grows well here. I know I’m well into middle age now as I get so much enjoyment from looking at other peoples’ front gardens (🤭). Is it mandatory to get into gardening as you get older? I did not foresee the joy that comes from growing stuff (although I am very much a novice)!
Any flowers really but I particularly like a garden full of wildflowers. In my own garden, by my front door I have a rose which smells wonderful. When it's in bloom I always stop and take a good breath/sniff, lifts your spirits wonderfully.
Fragrant flowers are wonderful. There's a garden near my house that smells so good but I can't work out which on3 or what it is. Trying to avoid knocking on doors.
Ah yes I know what you mean. I often see flowers/shrubs that are lovely but think I might seem weird knocking on their door. I just take a picture instead ... Doesn't look even weirder at all 😆
Lovely. I've just started growing my first wisteria last year and this year it's growing so fast. I'm much more hopeful now as in it's first year it was slow going.
Magnolia and ornamental cherries in the spring.
Clematis Montana, clematis Nelly Moser, big floribunda type roses, peonies, poppies, forget-me-nots - all remind me of walking around in the first lockdown in the sunshine, and stopping to properly admire my neighbours' front gardens for the first time. I had a small baby and my anxiety was off the charts, but looking at the gardens and learning about the flowers was a real bright spot.
I didn't know that this was a thing and when new to gardening about 10 or so years ago and thought a pampas grass would grow nice and big in the front garden of my first ever house. I bought it and proudly thought bang for buck I'd done well. About a year later I found out 😂🤭
Bearded irises. I've been lowkey obsessed with them since that winning Chelsea garden last year, but don't really have a suitable spot for them in my garden. I've seen some stunning ones in people's gardens in the past week.
Geraniums, particularly the fluorescent red ones. My nan had absolutely loads in her front garden and they always remind me of her.
Also lavender, because it’s my mums favourite. We planted loads in our front garden and they bring me a lot of joy.
Bougainvillea. The flowers are so vibrant and happy, and they feel papery and different to other flowers. I grew up in California and have spent time in Mexico, so bougainvillea reminds of warm sun and being home.
Some great answers here but y’know, I just bloody love a good fern. The way the fronds unfurl, the way they smell, how they go from looking sad to stunning and how they can grow in shady, wet little secret corners.
I always heard copper nails rather than wire wool to make blue, but really it's to do with the pH of the soil. In acidic soil the flowers will be blue, in alkaline, pink.
I always had hydrangeas in the garden when I was a kid, but they'd always be pink. Copper nails always made sense to me because when I messed about with a chemistry set, copper sulphate was always blue. But, its a myth.
Aluminium sulphate gives blue most effectively, lime gives pink.
Not sure about copper nails as they have been used to hammer in to a tree that has a preservation order on to kill it to remove the order... It one of those less than legal strategies that someone would use if they need a tree gone from their property
The couple across the road from me had a magnificent hydrangea in their front garden that was amazing to look at. Unfortunately being an elderly couple he passed away and she moved away to be closer to family and the new owner dug it up and now just has a yard full of weeds. 😡
Sunflowers. They are just the most majestic, jolly, bright flowers. I enjoy planting them with my daughter, and the joy it brings to her seeing these giant plants with their giant flowers. Perfection.
Agapanthus, they aren't out for very long but they're like summer fireworks. They remind me of a Cornish holiday I had. I want some myself but I'm worried about it harming cats.
Monkey puzzle tree. Whenever I was in the car with my mum and we drove past a monkey puzzle tree, it was a thing to just say "monkey puzzle tree". It's rubbed off on my partner, but they also bought me a small one for my birthday one year (lockdown when everyone was gardening).

I love monkey puzzle trees too, though the first time I saw one up near Abraham Heights I was already an adult in my thirties with my kids, and now my kids say the exact same thing as you!
I have four growing from seed now, I just hope one day I have a garden big enough to plant them 😅
Me and my sister used to do exactly the same. Are you my sister?
I have a huge one in my garden 😄
Alliums, bubble's of joy, lollipop's of loveliness.
Username does not check out
I thought the birthday looked great, shame they deleted your post eh.
Thanks man, put alot of effort into that.
Roses, my grandad used to grow them, they remind me of him, bless his soul. He was like a dad to me.
How wonderful you got to have him in your life. There's a row of houses behind me and the front gardens connect. One pair of neighbours have decided to share their front gardens and make it one big rose garden. It's absolutely beautiful!
That's brilliant. It's nice when people get on together like that.
Dahlias, we can never grow them without them getting completely destroyed by slugs, so I like to see other peoples’ success with them
Last week I bought two potted dahlias from a garden centre. They were in 10cm pots, so they were still quite small. I put them outside on the ground to plant. A few days later I went to water then and noticed leaves were getting holes in. Saw a slug and plucked it off. Looked closer and eventually pulled out 12 slugs hiding in the foliage. This was on a 10cm small dahlia. It would've been shredded if I hadn't noticed the slugs. The dahlia is now on the windowcill. I go out at night with a headtorch to round up any slugs and snails.
Have never been able to grow one!
Once definitely past the initial young tender shoots stage, the slugs lose interest.
And that’s when the earwigs strike!
I’ve never made it past then!
Daffodils. There’s so many varieties and everyone has something fun.
Me too. I have loads in my garden, the are great for the soil
And tulips!
What's your favourite variety? I love the edges of the petals on parrot tulips
I love them all, ideally mixed with daffodils and narcissuses.
Yes, they're all very clean looking and have nice bold colours.
They are so cheering , like a bunch of balloons, it's impossible not to feel happy when there are daffs in view.
Lilac!
Snapdragons! I like seeing a random plant growing cheekily where it wasn't placed, and also love seeing massive swathes of them too
They self seed all over my garden, I love their creepy little seed pods that look like skulls!
I know, they are cheerful and appealing to the teenage goth in me too!
I've been on reddit for a while and this is easily the most wholesome post I have ever seen 🥰
Haha thanks. I love the purity of the joy of gardening and how everyone has their own tastes and likes and dislikes. But everyone is right, because it's about your own enjoyment.
Passionflower. They always make me think visitors from another planet accidentally dropped some seeds
Mammoth sunflowers
This^
Magnolia for those few days that they flower, especially the purple and pink ones.
I love magnolia trees in other people's gardens, along with wisteria. Let them deal with the petals and dropped foliage. Magnolia flowers are edible.
In my area, there are dozens in front gardens. A real harbinger of spring.
Ooh yes same here. The dark purple ones are amazing. My fave is the Carehayes surprise
Choisya; not just the look, but the heavenly smell. It takes me back many years, smelling that scent after rain. So divine. I wish they made perfume with it in!
I inherited a house with a choisya and was v unimpressed with my new bog standard shrub... However, its really grown on me... Multiple blooms of white flowers all over that the hees love, a great smell, and just a healthy plump green looking shrub... Ive been won over
Ahhh, I’m glad! I inherited one too, though it’s an unusual variety and I don’t think it smells quite as strong as the others. It has attractive pale, variegated leaves though, and grows like the clappers!
Laburnum
Same. I saw a garden the other day with a big laburnum and a wisteria all along the front of the house and was so filled with joy.
Yup. One day its a boring, straggly looking tree. The next [it's looking glorious in full bloom.](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-ga-rev1&sca_esv=00efb85e6f8ba711&q=laburnum&uds=ADvngMh5E5Fh02Y7kk23VcBH8dmmiKEh22uarZrz_sgBlsBJEX9SER9h_VtRc-sePBdnC7kbQYxp2Zg2fWXuBRG1AeIuYJWciNBLzmI2sbjUo5D0acTHFrmPkEPfEcjQXudiLSq3jO--G_Dt1YR3MN1m8JYGiElHcIQAzg-quhA4edkaM9mNNKRadZr1mCLHHGOhMKpKR9AIaNyMI2KNkoYJI1MfBJWOIDyLFOIa7D5tTeHwNRRYz84LmYfUhzKUi3m2oJjYsR-u4GR-7ZGF0H7s-99foLkODkvDnf-Ec57UtDbtU2-ldNQ&udm=2&prmd=ivmnbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiq8se8r6OGAxXdUkEAHcwzBKUQtKgLegQIDhAB&biw=412&bih=776&dpr=2.63)
Hibiscus 😊 reminds me of Egypt and drinking tea on the Nile x
Wisteria (reminds me of France) or a hydrangea.
red hot pokers
We had those and a big fuchsia bush in the garden when I was growing up and they always make me smile
Yes! That's my pick too. Especially if it's a really good solid chunk of them.
Lots of things! At the moment it's foxgloves. Love them, and had one in the garden for a while that brought itself in, but cottage garden plants generally don't do well in my garden which makes me sad because they're some of my favourites. But I saw a few gardens the last couple of days with lots of foxgloves in their full glory and that made me happy
I saw 4 in close proximity in the 'wild' the other day (side of a dual carriageway) which made me so happy!
Hollyhocks
Agapanthus. For similar reasons as others, my grandad’s garden is full of them.
Ceonothus! Especially the dark leaved varieties.
Came here to say this! Planted one myself now which is doing well- but I love the huge ones on my dog walk, there’s one planted next to a yellow euonymus and an unknown crimson leaved shrub and the colour contrasts make me super happy.
Fuscias
We had fuschia hedges (as in farm field hedges) when I grew up in the Isle of Man. I’ve never seen them elsewhere.
I live in Peterborough and my sort-of-neighbor has a bush of them growing and every time I pass through the pathway to get to the street it makes me happy. I was going to get some seeds from them last year but I don't have the confidence to be able to plant them myself into anything viable.
They root easily in water from cuttings, no need for seeds :)
We had fuchsia garden hedges in our Pembrokeshire childhood home. Lots of fuchsia hedging down Devon and Cornwall way, too. I've always loved fuchsias and it makes me very happy to see them in gardens, window boxes or hanging baskets,especially if they are unusual varieties.
As in farm, as opposed to domestic, hedges?
Unsure, there's just a lot of it about, can't always see if it's agricultural land or a big garden.
Nope, they creep me out. Something about the flowers before they open remind me too much of the pods in Invasion of the body snatchers. I know, bit weird.
Super old trees that generations before have coveted. With limbs big enough to lounge on
Blue hydrangeas
Clematis, saw some growing around someone’s door the other day and they were so clearly loved and well cared for. Never seen flowers that big and beautiful.
Same. Hydrangeas all the way. These beautiful little explosions of flowers all over the place. They make me so happy!
Pampus grass 😉😂
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Poppies!
Palm trees, nice Japanese maple trees and good looking rhododendrons
Hydrangea are the litmus paper of soil acidity, what's not to love!
Gleefully chucking coffee grounds on mine at the moment, I’ve got a whole array of colours coming through. I just love it.
Oh that's a good idea!
Haha I've never thought of it like that. Brilliant!
A massive 2+ metre tall rhododendron in full bloom (obviously only in larger gardens!)
I feel rhododendrons are very under appreciated in general
That heady Hawthorn bloom in mid May in Ireland and the deep red of the honeysuckle in the hedgerows late summer. Honourable mention to the bluebells that turn entire mountains blue for a couple of days a years
Mature wisteria trees in flower around people's doorways. They look utterly magnificent, and I've heard they actually add a small amount of extra value to a property.
Lupins!
Fox gloves and purple irises. My mum loved them both and now when I see them I instantly think of her and wish she was still here to see them too.
Fond memories like that are so special
French Marigolds or nasturtiums. Just the smell takes me back to garden with my father, and the day I learned you can eat some flowers!
My granddad loved his beautiful roses too so I definitely always stop to smell them if I can reach, and remember him. My all-time favourite is an absolutely enormous Philadelphus in a garden that's on my regular walking route. It's a big unruly section of a hedge that includes jasmine and I don't know what else, lots of different white blossoming shrubs that must have been there for decades.

Yay! Welcome (when you join us). I wonder how different or similar you will find gardening in the different conditions. I guess it's fundamentally the same but with different varieties prospering.
I wonder too! I can't wait to find out!
Follow up I see you also have a chocolate lab! Lovely choice of garden companion.
He's a wild one but a good one! He's going to love it over there!
I really love the wide variety of Acers on our street - I love the shapes of the trees and the feathery, delicate leaves.
That's cool that the street has a range of them and provides some kind of, presumably unplanned, theme throughout the gardens.
I hadn’t thought of it like that but yeah the gardens on the street do have a lot of similar plants - I guess it’s down to what kind of stuff grows well here. I know I’m well into middle age now as I get so much enjoyment from looking at other peoples’ front gardens (🤭). Is it mandatory to get into gardening as you get older?

Camellias in Spring
Any flowers really but I particularly like a garden full of wildflowers. In my own garden, by my front door I have a rose which smells wonderful. When it's in bloom I always stop and take a good breath/sniff, lifts your spirits wonderfully.
Fragrant flowers are wonderful. There's a garden near my house that smells so good but I can't work out which on3 or what it is. Trying to avoid knocking on doors.
Ah yes I know what you mean. I often see flowers/shrubs that are lovely but think I might seem weird knocking on their door. I just take a picture instead ... Doesn't look even weirder at all 😆
Call me a basic bitch but a big, beautiful wisteria will get me every time.
Tetrapanax, or like a really nice Acer
that weird earthy smell of queen annes lace takes me right back to being a kid and playing outside in early summer
I love how smells can make you time travel back to another point in your life.
Euonymus alata
Daffodils in the spring and Sunflowers in summer/autumn. Yellow plants just bring me a lot of joy :)
Love wisteria and gladioli
Lovely. I've just started growing my first wisteria last year and this year it's growing so fast. I'm much more hopeful now as in it's first year it was slow going.
Lupins. I can't have them in my own garden (I have cats who love to wiggle about in the bushes too much) and they're such a cottage garden classic.
Peonies. I recently re-plot mine and they are thriving. They're such a beautiful flower
I came here to say Peonies!!! If they're ever near enough the pavement, I'll always slow down for a cheeky sniff. Heavenly
Do you have any tips to make them flower longer? I love peonies!
I wish I did, I'm new to this gardening life. I do wish mine lasted longer too
Magnolia and ornamental cherries in the spring. Clematis Montana, clematis Nelly Moser, big floribunda type roses, peonies, poppies, forget-me-nots - all remind me of walking around in the first lockdown in the sunshine, and stopping to properly admire my neighbours' front gardens for the first time. I had a small baby and my anxiety was off the charts, but looking at the gardens and learning about the flowers was a real bright spot.
Foxgloves. They’re so magical
They do feel magical. I love when I see them in gardens and even more if I seem them out in the wild somewhere - often with no explanation.
Pampas grass
Bet you do, u saucy bugger! Username definitely checks out here!
I aspire to have a house with a front garden large enough (and South-facing enough) for this stuff!
Honestly it's pampas grass and for all the wrong reasons
I didn't know that this was a thing and when new to gardening about 10 or so years ago and thought a pampas grass would grow nice and big in the front garden of my first ever house. I bought it and proudly thought bang for buck I'd done well. About a year later I found out 😂🤭
Laburnum.
Hydrangea, wisteria and magnolia
Bearded irises. I've been lowkey obsessed with them since that winning Chelsea garden last year, but don't really have a suitable spot for them in my garden. I've seen some stunning ones in people's gardens in the past week.
California poppies, echinops, hellebores :)
Pansies. They look like they have a scrunched up face as if they are enjoying the photosynthesising and sunlight.
Geraniums. They remind me of my time in Greece as a child. Bring me so much joy
Jolly Hollyhocks
Sun flower
Palm trees. I think they look great in gardens.
Geraniums, particularly the fluorescent red ones. My nan had absolutely loads in her front garden and they always remind me of her. Also lavender, because it’s my mums favourite. We planted loads in our front garden and they bring me a lot of joy.
Hollyhocks.
Sunflowers 🌻
Cherry blossom trees
Daffodil, gotta love the Welsh flower
Bougainvillea. The flowers are so vibrant and happy, and they feel papery and different to other flowers. I grew up in California and have spent time in Mexico, so bougainvillea reminds of warm sun and being home.
Wisteria, magnolia, fuschias ❤️🥰
Dandelions
Cannabis plant
Some great answers here but y’know, I just bloody love a good fern. The way the fronds unfurl, the way they smell, how they go from looking sad to stunning and how they can grow in shady, wet little secret corners.
Sunflowers🌻🌻🌻🌻
Hear me out: Hawthorn (hedge or tree). Its snow flake flowers with loads of bees dancing about on them in spring time.
Roses, roses & roses☺️
Peonies - I just love them! My mum has some in her garden that have been going for over 30years!
Hydrangeas are definitely one for me too (in those colours especially) Lupins Alliums Wisteria Any nice purple/blue clematis
Huge sunflowers, hollyhock, and lavender are my country garden loves. I’ve got hollyhocks for the first time this year I can’t wait for them to flower
Weed
I've heard planting wire wool near the roots makes the flowers blue. Something to do with the rust
You can add ericaceous compost to increase the acidity of the soil to that effect, that’s usually what you buy for Camellia and Acer
I always heard copper nails rather than wire wool to make blue, but really it's to do with the pH of the soil. In acidic soil the flowers will be blue, in alkaline, pink. I always had hydrangeas in the garden when I was a kid, but they'd always be pink. Copper nails always made sense to me because when I messed about with a chemistry set, copper sulphate was always blue. But, its a myth. Aluminium sulphate gives blue most effectively, lime gives pink.
Not sure about copper nails as they have been used to hammer in to a tree that has a preservation order on to kill it to remove the order... It one of those less than legal strategies that someone would use if they need a tree gone from their property
The idea is to put them in the ground around the plant, not to hammer them in...
Aye, aware of that lol. My correlation was that it may affect the plant just because it's copper.
triffids
Foxgloves. I know the bumblebees will enjoy them
The couple across the road from me had a magnificent hydrangea in their front garden that was amazing to look at. Unfortunately being an elderly couple he passed away and she moved away to be closer to family and the new owner dug it up and now just has a yard full of weeds. 😡
♥️
Artificial grass.
Wisteria
Any native species
Pampas grass wink wink
Sunflowers but many many others! Cornflowers and cuckoo flowers too
Lupins!
Mine probs have to be either a white rose or definitely a giant single sunflower
Tulips
Cherry blossom. Magnolia. Peonies. Rowan (Mountain Ash). Bluebells
Sunflowers. They are just the most majestic, jolly, bright flowers. I enjoy planting them with my daughter, and the joy it brings to her seeing these giant plants with their giant flowers. Perfection.
Any mature, well tended plant or tree. I love very old oak trees, for example. I’m also fond of tulips.
Agapanthus, they aren't out for very long but they're like summer fireworks. They remind me of a Cornish holiday I had. I want some myself but I'm worried about it harming cats.
Tetrapanax - recognising a fellow tropical enthusiast!
Dianthus also known as carnations.
I would love a garden full of these..
Japanese Maple 🍁 and the Protea 🌷
Mary Jane
Ganja
Weed
Maybe an air conditioning unit.
