Nothing says tropical like the big leafed plant and the Palm tree. Our images of Bali or Hawaii are all about big foliage. In a Tropical garden, the tropical plants are in different heights created by layers of plants and a canopy above. In a Modern Garden, tropical plants are laid out in large groups or swaths of the same plants to show off how architectural they look.
