Thank you for the warm welcome.
Ok, then let's start with some pics of my project.
That's how the garden in front of my terrace looked like before I started working on it in 2013.

That's how it looked 2 days later:


That's probably not exactly Tiki style, but at least a first attempt to make my garden look a little more tropical. The winter in Germany can be quite cold, therefore the selection of suitable palms and other plants is quite limited. I also put a heating cable under the gravel to protect the roots from freezing.

In 2014 I continued the work on my garden. I removed the ugly garden shed, built a wooden terrace with a small pool next to it, and added some more plants...


...and the first Tiki stuff
