In this intimate garden tour, Irene Chen visits Farron’s compact 280-square-foot tropical garden to explore how patience, observation, and care can transform even the smallest space.

As they walk through the garden together, individual species and growth habits reveal how understanding climate and environment shapes long-term success. The episode captures both the practical realities and quiet optimism of cultivating a living garden where space is limited, but possibility is not.
