Safety - If a visitor reports a safety concern, then do not ignore it.
On the 25th April 2013, I discovered 2 loose slabs on the path next to the West Mixed Border at the Battleston Hill end. So:-
- I reported it to a female member of staff and watched as she walked over the loose slabs without stopping.
- So, I reported it again to a male member of staff, who indicated that he would investigate it. It was a sunny day, but if it had been raining, then these slabs would be slippery and when it pivots, a visitor might slip over. When you have more than 1 million visitors per year to your garden, then listen to a visitor - even though they may be retired - and before investigating it, provide a safety barrier to stop visitors from accessing the same section of path. The slabs used on these paths are not non-slip and therefore can be slippery if they get wet - flame-textured stone, or exposed aggregate in concrete slabs, or pea-shingle in Cedargravel provides a less slippery path surface.
- On the 1st May 2013, I rediscovered the same loose slabs. I reported them to a male member of staff, who put a Traffic Cone over each of them and stated that he would email the management!
- I watched 2 mothers wheeling their prams over these loose slabs on 9th May 2013 before rain ended my visit 10 minutes later.
- I reported and showed a member of staff the condition again on the 13th May and 4 hours later before I ended my visit, nothing had been done. I wonder - if a banana was delivered to the staff at the entrance with a description of a safety issue, with the appended request that the banana be peeled and put next to the Phlox paniculata 'Nesperis' as its compensation for being ignored, before the banana peel is then safely removed from the area since people can slip on banana skins - whether doing that might persuade them to take any notice.
- On the 3rd of June 2013, I checked and besides the 2 existing slabs pivoting about their diagonal, then next to one of them is another one pivoting, with another next to that which is broken, and that is also pivoting. The fourth one down from that is a medium size currently pivoting slab. The seventh up the path from the original top pivoting slab is a square slab broken into 3 sections. All these slabs are still in their original locations within the path and I have not attempted to lift them up to see whether the thin concrete layer underneath is original Roman concrete or lime mortar.
As I was photoing the plants in the Bowes-Lyon Rose Garden, I felt sorry for the set of 5 people in wheelchairs being pushed up that path and over those slabs. I did not waste my time reporting again this degradation of the very poor foundation material used under these paths, which paths may be used by more than 100,000 people a year. Having only made an excess of 20 million pounds in the last financial year; this certainly leaves too little money for safety maintenance.
It is a shame that the paths between the Mixed Border Beds and the background hedges are not available for visitor use, since then closer looks at the plants at the back of the borders could be carried out. It is probably because the slabs are laid directly on the ground rather having the proper foundations under them, that for safety reasons and lack of finance from the million visitors that that access has been denied.
I have requested details about Phlox paniculata 'Nesperis' from the RHS by email in March 2013, since they grow it in the Mixed Borders. I have not found any details from elsewhere. I have not received a reply by the 13th May 2013, but again I am only an ordinary Royal Horticultural Society member, who pays part of the Royal Horticultural Society staff salary.

This RHS reply sent on 13 September 2013:-
Dear Mr C H Garnons-Williams,
Thank you for your enquiry to the Royal Horticultural Society's Members' Advisory Service.
On investigation, I have concluded that the phlox labelled as 'Nesperis' in the garden is in fact: Phlox x arendsii 'Hesperis' .
A search on the internet will generate a great deal of information on this cultivar.
I hope this information is helpful.
Yours sincerely,
Tony Dickerson
Horticultural Advisor

These 2 photos were taken 10 November 2013 by Chris Garnons-Williams. It looks as if the repair was done using sharp sand instead of cement, but I will investigate the next time I go to Wisley. It is sharp sand on the top.
I reported this first on the 25 April 2013 - I do hope that the Garden Maintenance Team at Wisley is employed for more than 2 hours each 6 months so that management can be persuaded to provide the repair materials a little sooner; since more than 500,000 visitors have trod the paths at Wisley from April-November 2013!!!
It would appear that the RHS is too poor to provide concrete pointing and proper foundations. I am sure that in appealing to the British public, someone or a successful business could be persuaded to provide the necessary materials in these austere times to help out this charity who are in penury of only having 20 million pounds of excess income over expenditure in the 2012-2013 financial year. State that the donation of the materials comes from the bricklayer who has lost his employment due to the injuries suffered from the lack of safety at his workplace.

When you look at the panorama photos in East Border Part 19 you will note that by 19 September 2013 that purple flowers could be seen on the Sambucus but its plant label could not, because of the yellow foliage of the Cornus in front of it.

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.

Create track and use the Square Foot Gardening system for:-
- wheelchair-bound disabled to use for radio-controlled models on the ground-level of the garden
- wheelchair-bound children/adults to maintain and replant the raised beds, whilst sitting with their knees under each raised bed
- 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.
