Ivydene Gardens Mixed Borders in RHS Garden at Wisley Garden Design:
Mixed Border - Flower Colours used in each Part of Mixed Borders

 

If I had designed with the mixture of flower colours in almost every part or maintained these beds in this way in 2013, I would be deeply ashamed.

As a nation of gardeners in Britain, the Royal Horticultural Society being at its pinnacle and the tradition of excellence by our previous head gardeners with their staff during the Victorian era, I had thought that the staff at the RHS Garden at Wisley would not need a lecture.

 

Garden Design Comments on RHS Garden at Wisley in the 71 pages of the EAST and WEST Borders in the MIXED BORDERS

Flower Colours in each of the 71 Parts of the Mixed Borders - with area indicating that the respective colour has not been used in this part .
 

More (See un-labelled bedding) than 102 plants (This is 29%, which is almost a third) were missing their identity when in flower in 2013 out of 348 in 768 square metres of Mixed Borders garden beds - These herbaceous borders are 6 metres (20 feet) deep and 128 metres (427 feet) long.

  • school pupils to learn to grow plants
  • wheelchair supported children/adults recovering in hospital, rest or care home to go outside, view them and/or maintain those beds themselves
  • transport the raised bed into the patient's room, so that the patient can admire close-up what they normally see outside from their bed; and then for them to maintain or simply view for a while before that raised bed is returned outside that same day
  • infirm children, adults or pensioners to maintain and replant the raised beds, when they do not need to kneel down, bend their knees or reach above their shoulders

PlantenTuin Esveld Nursery in Holland has a "plant catalogue of 11,249 different garden plants for sale:-

  • The Plant shop can best be used to order plants on-line, of most plants there is at least one picture and a short description. These descriptions are originally in Dutch, these are translated automatically. We apologize for the fact that this sometimes results in poor english.
  • We have created a new and very powerful tool for you: a search engine by plant characteristics. Enter the characteristics a plant should have for you and this tool gives you the best matching plants. So, if you want a plant that flowers red in May, is evergreen, for an acid soil, becomes about 1 meter tall, for a shady place and is scented, then you should get a good result!
  • Since 1865 the PlantenTuin Esveld is a family owned business. For more than half a century PlantenTuin Esveld is specialized in rare and unusual plants. The knowledge accumulated is shared to you in many ways, for instance through the giving of advice on plantings, during special events in our nursery and the giving of workshops. All the knowledge and it's history is also very visible in our nursery and the Japanese maple garden, which not only contains about 700 different maple species and cultivars, but also 10 other Dutch Plant Collections for a total size of about 1 hectare. Well worth your visit year round!
  • You are always welcome for a visit. Our traditionally run nursery is open to the public during opening hours and your visit to PlantenTuin Esveld will always be inspiring and enjoyable.
  • In our extensive book shop you will find 1066 books about plants, gardens and gardening."
