Summary
A Newport couple, Dave Robinson and Gemma Furby, transformed their ordinary mid-terrace garden into a tropical jungle filled with exotic plants, including some poisonous ones. Inspired by their travels, they started with a banana tree and the garden has since flourished into a lush, shaded tropical space. Their son Arlo even gives "danger tours" of the spiky plants to friends.
