  • Blue, White, Yellow, Unusual, Red, Orange or Pink

is in each of these Month Pages

Summary of the Mixed Border Planting Design and Garden Maintenance - including in tabular form - shows the number for each single colour and combinations of colours for each of these months and whether it is from the Permanent Herbaceous Perennial (See its Index Page), Bedding Plant (See its Index Page) or Other Permanent Plant ((See Index below) plant type.

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

Solution to Unemployment in Britain:-

"The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Auckland, New Zealand, have taught 3 rescue dogs to drive in an effort to encourage people to adopt and love shelter pets."

Besides the trained dogs who aid Blind People in walking, these other dogs could be trained to drive in Britain. Then, when a Blind person wishes to be driven, an unemployed person could earn their benefit by being in the front passenger seat giving directions to the dog who is doing the driving, but not to the dog who is sitting in the back seat alongside the Blind passenger.

The Blind person gets social interaction and the unemployed person - in aiding this blind person to go further than that person can walk for shopping or to visit friends - increases their self-esteem and self-worth.

The cars are maintained and operated with the dog driver during 8 hours each week by these unemployed. The running costs, cars and car parts are paid for by the local Government Employment Department.

Ivydene Gardens Mixed Borders in RHS Garden at Wisley Garden Design:
Mixed Border - Un-labelled Bedding Plant Index

 

Index starts in next row of plants that were photographed in the Mixed Borders during June, July and August 2013, but could not be identified since I could not see the plant label; even with the zoom feature on my camera.

We - the residents of the UK - are prepared to pay not just the toll for the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge over the River Thames, but to also add the payment to the private firm that got the contract to charge us that toll for the millions of pounds that that firm paid to the UK government for a 7 year period from 2014 and add a payment for their profit for that firm, when we have paid for that crossing many times already. We were told that the toll was to pay the cost of building that bridge, and when it was paid, then the toll would be removed.

Because we are so well enslaved to government con-tricks, then of course we are pleased to pay the entrance fee to see a garden where we are not told the names of the plants. This means that we cannot see something we like and then go to a garden centre or nursery and buy it for our gardens. This negates our reason for looking at gardens to find ways of improving our own.
I was very grateful for the work carried out by 60 people to display Pansies and Violas earlier in 2013 in the garden at Wisley. Unfortunately, there were no plant labels identifying any of the plants, so the public could only gaze in awe; but not learn anything from it for their own gardens.

The following is some of the plants in the Mixed Borders, which had no labels when we took their photos (easy to see and be able to read), but I and H. Kavanagh (I asked her to photo as many of the plants as she could see in the Mixed Borders on 21 August 2013 with their labels so that they could be identified) soon stopped taking photos of plants with no visible plant labels both in the Mixed Borders and elsewhere in this RHS garden at Wisley.

Being a member that pays the salaries and materials of the seed-sower of bedding, planter and maintenance staff at Wisley through my annual membership fee, I wonder why those staff do their work only for their benefit; rather than for the public to be educated instead of that public just seeing 71% of a jumble of plants in these Mixed Borders.

A bedding plant in this case is a plant inserted into the bed in late spring and removed in the late autumn.

unlabelled24label

Photo taken on 24 July 2013.

Using the raw image of 4000 x 3000 pixels one is able to read this label of the plant 24, but it is not a good label to read without either bending down to it or using your phone to photo it and then enlarge the image. Why cannot the black plant labels be put with the plant once it is planted, instead of sometimes but not always leaving the white label from the container, which had been previously inserted into the pot by the seedsman or the potting on person?

21 August 2013 No flowers seen on this plant before 22 August 2013. I suspect that this plant has been used as a calming foil of grey foliage, rather than for its flowers for its colour difference to the other foliage and its contribution to the bed's display.

I have split the flower colours into:-

  • Blue,
  • White,
  • Yellow,
  • Unusual Colours (these are flowers which are multi-coloured or not Blue, White, Yellow, Red, Orange or Pink),
  • Red,
  • Orange and
  • Pink

per month Pages. Click on the black or white square in the relevant colour in its respective month in the Flower Colour below:-

colormonth9bpub2

I have split the foliage colours into:-

  • Black
  • Blue
  • Brown
  • Bronze
  • Green
  • Grey
  • Other
  • Purple
  • Red
  • Variegated
  • Variegated White and Green
  • Variegated Yellow and Green
  • White
  • Yellow
  • 4 Season Colour

and the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter season foliage colours into:-

  • Black
  • Brown
  • Green
  • Grey
  • Other Colour - Other Single Colour
  • Purple
  • Red
  • Variegated - Green and another Colour as a variegated, margin or spotted colour combination
  • White
  • Yellow
  • None - No foliage during this Season
  • Multi-Colour - Any other foliage colour combination

The flowers are not the only item to have colour - the foliage does as well and it usually lasts longer than the flowers. It is also important to know which season the foliage is available per plant, so that when it disappears, perhaps another plant or bulb could take its foliage space.

The Plant Information on the Flower, Foliage, Height and Width in the Table on the right contains:-

  • All the plants in both borders for the 7 Flower Colours per Month Pages
  • Only the plants for that Part of that Section of the East or West border for the Design of East Border and Design of West Border Pages
