Funny, I was actually wondering about that. Most botanical gardens I've been to have a lot of very neat and large plants. Maybe some areas rotate plants or are trimmed for aesthetic reasons. 

This place was nuts though... The greenhouse there was absurd, and clearly very manicured / arranged. Several other areas seem like they've had a lot of design. Also soooo many epiphytes planted on basically every thing one could imagine. 

Highly recommend revisiting ! :)

I'm sure it's super different than from when I went regularly (I went to undergrad down in Sarasota), but I have fond memories of the place. :)

I've been to Sarasota a bunch but never been! So much regret

Aw, that's a lovely botanical gardens. :)

How cool!! I definitely want to do this but my scindapsus grows so slow :(

I just found mine shingling also!  I just posted it, then I searched the sub for shingle to see if there were others!

Have been trying to do this with mine, was cool to see it in the "wild"

Some scindapsus shingling, found at Selby botanical gardens
