Experience Paul,The Wise Gardener's™ colourful armchair cyber journeys to many fascinating tropical regions of the world where you will experience a myriad of exotic floral & foliar genera like both fan and feather-fronded palms, fiercely barbed barrel or sharply angular columnar cacti such as the elegant saguaro and the symmetrical dagger-like rosettes of agaves; resplendent varieties of magnificently rainbow-hued flowering trees piercing the sun-drenched sky like the Royal Poinciana; lush lianas, aroids, hibiscus, orchids and bougainvilleas; a multitude of lavishly-hued warm climate rhizomes and bulbs, such as dazzling "lobster-claw" or pendant varieties of heliconias and heavenly scented butterfly gingers along with host of dramatic, boldly-leafed (and delicious) bananas!   What a treat for all our "exploratory" senses! 

In TWG, expect a montage filled with a colourfully rich tapestry of botanical, horticultural, and environmental "spotlighted" articles, plus an extensive array of informational articles & links celebrating great food & drink, avant garde interior decorating trends, urbane, trend-setting lifestyles, warm climate travel adventures, and Caribbean geopolitical websites consistant with the typically rich "textural amalgam" that is the embodiment of the tropics.  It's ALL here! 

I will share over thirty five years of tropical gardening knowledge and unabashed "tropic passion" with you on our various tropical tours!  Whether you are fortunate enough to husband a tropical garden of your own, long for one someday, or just enjoy reading about various tropical subjects, through the virtual transport of TWG you will experience nature's vividly hued pageantry as if we were exploring these wonders side-by-side!  Let us now commence our timeless journeys into the favoured climes we call "the tropics"!  These voyages will be both entertaining, informative and sensual!  

From relatively low tech beginnings in early 2000, TWG now reaches almost 100,000 visitors a month!  Many pundits "back then" thought a tropically-themed gardening web site would be too limited in scope to become a successful literary entity!  I guess all those doomsayers were wrong!  It seems that the appeal of the tropics and its unique lifestyle is worldwide, and not just in the warm climate parts of this planet.

With that in mind, eight years ago I affirmed a specific working theme for TWG and that guiding vision is even more clearly identifable now.  Since 2000, we stated boldly: "please remember, cyber-mates, wherever you might call home thewisegardener.com™ is very much:
The Sensual Pulse Of The Tropics!"  
(It is always sunny & warm at TWG!)
