Stages of creating your garden after you move in If you have bought a home with an established garden, you may find that after carrying out number 2, that you do not have the problem of either too much clay or too much sand and so you can go to number 7. Assuming that you have bought a newly built home, then you need to find out what sort of mess the builder has left you with. Dig a hole a spade deep in the middle of the lawn in the back garden and the front garden, fill it with water, and note how long it takes to subside. If there is still most of the water there in 30 minutes, then you have clay as your subsoil. If it drains as soon as you pour it, then you have sand subsoil or builders rubble. If the water drains slowly within that 30 minutes, then your top soil is reasonable. If either garden slopes towards the house, then ply your hose water onto the top of the garden and see if the water comes down to the house after plying it for an hour. If so, you have a subsidence problem. You are spending more than £200,000 on this house, which has been incorrectly built by the builder, but since you now own it or the mortgage company does, then it is your problem. The depth of foundation of your house has increased significantly over the last 100 years, but clay/water can still destroy your walls however deep the foundations, so the most important situation once you take possesion is not decorating or furnishing the inside, it is correcting the failures of the builder first. If you find that from the investigation of the Soil Texture in 2 that you have more than 40% sand as your soil, then follow number 4, you have more than 45% clay as your soil, then follow number 5, you have builders rubble as your soil below the turf, then follow number 6, otherwise follow number 7. Follow what I did for this client in the Isle of Grain on her very sandy soil. If the surface will not take being risen by 6 inches (15 cms), then dig out and remove a 6 inch depth of sand before doing what I did for my client in Cranbrook. Follow what I did for this client in Cranbrook. If the surface will not take being risen by 6 inches (15 cms), then dig out and remove a 6 inch depth of clay before doing what I did for my client in Cranbrook. Remove a 12 inch (30 cms) depth of builders rubble, replace 6 inch (15 cms) depth of that with TS1 - Premium sandy loam topsoil and then add on top a mulch of the required mix according to whether it is lawn, flower bed, fruit bed, ericaceous bed or rock garden from Gardenscape Direct. I have used Gardenscape in my work and found them very reliable with a very good range of products in volume suitable for the home gardener and the professional landscaper. There are plenty of soils and soil additives that you may use Gardenscape Direct for as well as annual mulching materials for your flower beds. Having sorted your soil, you need to measure the area of the back and the front gardens and multiply that by 2 inches (5 cms) to allow for the volume of rain that you would normally have to allow to fall per hour to create a soakaway to contain that volume. You are not allowed to let your rainwater from your garden to eascape your property. The rainwater from your gutter may be allowed to go into the Public Drainage System in its own waste drain, or it may not if you are not connected to the ordinary Main Publc Waste Drain. If your garden slopes towards your house and your house is built on clay then your house could be sitting inside a giant pond. The same is true the other way round if your garden slopes away to the house alongside or to the public area - neither of whom are you allowed to empty your rainwater or other water into. Although you have changed the soil so that you should be able to accept a fair proportion of rainwater into your new soil, you still have to get rid of that water. This you can do with having a lawn, flower beds, vegetable beds and hedges. So use evergreen hedges alongside a French Drain next to the fence/wall between you and next door or the road to drain the water and that hedge to drink throughout the year. These pages on Tree /Shrub for the Small Garden provide you with background planting in your garden, which can then have the the above 4 different time periods of herbaceous plants/bedding inserted between them to provide seasonal colour. You should remember that the permanent planting of the trees/shrubs can have 4 seasons of bulbs between them, 4 seasons of bedding as well as annual climbers on the chainlink fencing to give variety. If you have 4 separate areas for the shrub/trees to produce their flowers in each of the February-April, April-June, June-August and Autumn/Winter seasons, then the herbaceous plants can also repeat that with the bulbs adding their 4 seasons as well. Thus there will be flower colour all year, when you have the 4 seasons mainly separated into 4 flower beds. Do not forget to use fruit trees as Minarettes as well as soft fruit in your flower beds. Ken Muir provides all necessary cultivation details. You could also plant vegetables instead between the trees/shrubs using Self-Watering Containers as advised by Edward C. Smith in his book Incredible Vegetables from Self-Watering Containers. Published by Storey Publishing 2006 ISBN 13:978- 1-58017-557-9. If you are short on space, you could grow Vertical Vegetables & Fruit - Creative Gardening Techniques for Growing Up in small Spaces by Rhonda Massingham Hart. Published by Storey Publishng in 2011 ISBN 978-1-60342-998-6. Instead of using hard landscaping for the paths and drive/car park area, why not use Grass Reinforcement Mesh on turf instead. The rain falling on it would be absorbed by the roots of the grass. Doing this rather than applyng yet more concrete would provide you with oxygen to breathe, absorb the rainwater and thus stop your house from subsiding and be more pleasant to look at than concrete, brick, metal, stone or wood.

STAGE 1 GARDEN STYLE INDEX GALLERY
It would be useful if when you decide to change your garden that you use a uniform garden style throughout your garden and the GARDEN STYLE INDEX GALLERY aims to provide pointers.
The new pages (April 2016) in the gallery will have a suitable list of plants on each page (as that plant gets further detailed in the ALL PLANTS INDEX GALLERY), then each row containing that plant name in the GARDEN STYLE INDEX GALLERY will also be updated. I aim to input details of plants starting with A in alphabetical order to Z.

You need to know the following:-
1. How much time per week are you prepared to look after your garden or prepared to pay someone else to do it for you?
2. How much are you are prepared to spend on creating your garden and then on its maintenance for its feeding and replacement of its plants and hard landscaping?
3. In order for you to go into your garden, there must be mystery in it, so that from any position in the house you cannot see all the garden, otherwise you will not be tempted to go out into it.
4. You must decide what garden style you are going to use THROUGHOUT the garden and make sure of using 3. the mystery in it as well.
5. What plants do you want to keep in your existing garden and incorporate into your new garden?
6. What Human Problems do you have and what Site Problems are there?

Control of Pests (Aphids, Rabbits, Deer, Mice, Mole, Snails) / Disease by Companion Planting in Garden

Whether your Heavy Clay or Light Sandy / Chalk Soil is excessively Alkaline (limy) / Acidic or not, then there is an Action Plan for you to do with your soil, which will improve its texture to make its structure into a productive soil instead of it returning to being just sand, chalk, silt or clay.

Problems caused by builders:- 1. Lack of soil on top of builders rubble in garden of just built house.
2. Clay soil of Garden slopes towards house with no drainage of this rainwater by the house wall.

In planning your beds for your garden, before the vertical hard-landscaping framework and the vertical speciman planting is inserted into your soft landscaping plan, the following is useful to consider:-
1. The ground plan usually depends upon 1 or more unalterable existing features. The position of the doors of the house will dictate the positions of paths, the shortest route to the kitchen may indicate the best place for a paved area for eating and drinking out of doors, or the kept trees/shrubs may indicate what garden style is used.
2. Rules of Proportion -
A. A border should be roughly 1/2 as wide as the hedge or wall behind it.
B. The proportion of planted areas to paved or turfed areas should be 1/3 to 2/3, or a 1/4 to 3/4, not 1/2 and 1/2.
C. Within a bed or border, unless a 2-dimensional pattern on the ground is the objective, the height and bulk of the plants should be varied to avoid monotony; it is particularly important to provide strong planting, in terms of either height or bulk or both, at either end of a long bed.
D. The ground surface provides a background to the plants that is as important as the hedges, walls or fences that surround it. Grass is perhaps the most satisfying carpet to use, the cool green forming a restful antidote to the dancing colours of the flowers. Use different coloured pea-shingle inside Cedar Gravel for people in wheelchairs, or infirm in their legs or who suffer from Hay Fever.

Some extra details about the Cultivation Requirements of Plant:- Outdoor /Garden Cultivation, Indoor / House Cultivation, Cool Green-house Cultivation with artificial heating in the Winter, Conservatory Cultivation with heating throughout the year, and Stovehouse Cultivation with heating throughout the year for Tropical Plants

Since 2006, I have requested photos etc from the Mail-Order Nurseries in the UK and later from the rest of the World. Few nurseries have responded.
I worked for a lady, who with her husband took 35 mm slides of plants in the 1960's and 1970's. She allowed me to digitise some of her Kodachrome slides, which I have used in my website. I discovered that at least the green colour of the foliage became very much darker over that period of years to 2008, by comparing wildflower photos from her slides with digital photos supplied by a current Wildflower mail-order nursery, so I stopped creating my Foliage Galleries.
I bought myself a camera some years ago and started taking photos, some of which have been put into the website. I started taking photos of the Heathers at the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley garden. I have displayed the Heathers foliage in closeup since their leaves are 2mm long and in macro-scale in the Heather Galleries - sometimes the foliage colour at the terminal end of the foliage stem is only a few leaves, whereas others have the same foliage colour throughout the stem. I discovered that some of the heathers did not have the correct plant label, since the flower colour did not correspond with the flower colour in the literature. I was informed that since kids have free rein, that perhaps they move the plant labels. Since, I cannot rely that the heather plant label next to the heather plant is valid, I have stopped taking photos of those heathers.
This leaves a small problem, especially since very few gardens open to the public have their plants labelled so that the public can use the data on their label to buy that named plant from a nursery or garden centre. Currently (June 2018) I insert photos from Wikimedia Commons as well as my own.
I have found the above book - which does not contain any colour plant photos. Since it had the following experts help in creating it, I have decided to use its information in these 10 galleries to help the public:-

T.W. Sanders Editor of Amateur Gardening in 1895.
A.J Macself Editor of Amateur Gardening in 1926 - both Sanders and Macself had worked entirely to the handlists published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
A.G.L. Hellyer in this work of revision and also in checking the all-important cultural notes sought the help of experts in the various classes of plant:-
- Mr S.A. Pearce, Assistant Curator at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew undertook the revision of those genera of plants which in this country are mainly grown under glass.
- Mr Will Ingwersen dealt with the Rock plants,
- Mr N. Catchpole made himself responsible for trees and shrubs;
- Mr G.A Phillips for herbaceous plants,
- Mrs Francis Perry for water plants,
- Mr A.J. Macself for ferns,
- Mr E. Cooper for orchids,
- Mr J.S Dakers for annuals,
- Miss Doreen Crowther for fruit and vegetables

with the aid of further information from other books, magazines and cross-checking on the internet.
In this edition of the book Sander's Encyclopaedia, the individual soil mixtures to grow plants have been retained, for it was considered that many gardeners might still wish to use them in certain circumstances. The John Innes mixtures may be substituted wherever desired. Details of these individual mixtures will be put into these galleries.

Scented Flora of the World by Roy Genders - was first published in 1977 and this paperback edition was published on 1 August 1994 ISBN 0 7090 5440 8:-
This comprehensive book looks at scented flowers and leaves of plants from all over the world. The work has been prepared to the standards of the Index Kewensis, and is filled with the most interesting facts about the scented flora of the world.

I am using the above book from someone who took 30 years to compile it from notes made of his detailed observations of growing plants in preference to
The RHS Companion to Scented Plants Hardcover – 16 Oct 2014 by Stephen Lacey (Author), Andrew Lawson (Photographer) ISBN 978-0-7112-3574-8 even though this is the only major reference work on scent and scented plants which is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society. See reasons for stopping infilling of previous Sense of Fragrance section on 28/07/2016 at end of Sense of Fragrance from Stephen Lacey Page.

The Propagation of Alpines by Lawrence D. Hills. Published in 1950 by Faber and Faber Limited describes every method of propagation for 2,500 species. Unlike modern books published since 1980, this one states exactly what to do and is precisely what you require if you want to increase your alpines.
