tropical gardens

Humid paradise landscapes

Tropical gardens are cultivated spaces featuring plants native to or evocative of equatorial regions—palms, ferns, orchids, and broad-leafed foliage that thrive in warm, humid conditions.

The term describes both actual gardens in tropical climates and temperate-zone gardens designed to mimic that lush aesthetic: The resort's tropical gardens were filled with hibiscus and bird-of-paradise.
