  • The Plant Pyramids and Floral Marquee at BBC Gardeners' World
    May 2019 A modern wonder of the gardeners’ world The Plant Pyramids at BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2019 The mysterious world of the plant breeder will be plunged into the limelight at BBC Gardeners’ World Live (13 – 16 June at Birmingham’s NEC) as the breeders of up to 80 new plant varieties join forces, with gardening writer and broadcaster Peter Seabrook at the helm, to create a spectacular Plant Pyramid display in the Floral Marquee. Plant breeders are more usually found behind the scenes, creating new plants with irresistible features such as colour, longevity, scent, hardiness, drought tolerance or compactness – designing hybrids equipped for modern gardeners, modern gardens and modern climates. With an air of secrecy and a keen sense of competition, it’s a rare occurrence for such a diverse range of breeders to collaborate in a single display. The spectacle takes the form of a monumental pyramid with four satellite pyramids – covered in upwards of 4,000 plants including new varieties of Garvinea the garden Gerbera, Eating Apple, Sunflower, Pelargonium, Nemesia, Rose, Foxglove, Catnip, Alstroemeria, Echinacea and many, many more. Highlights of the Plant Pyramid include: • Farplants’ Nemesia ‘Lady Penelope’, one of the most anticipated launches, with a delicious fragrance and seemingly never-ending summer blooms • Sakata’s Petchoa ‘BeautiCal’, considered one of the hottestintroductions , with prolific, long lasting flowers • Begonia ‘Sweet Spice Bounty’, one of the most floriferous scented begonias. Until 2021, Breeders Kerley & Co will donate 50% of Royalty income from sales of the plant to the David Colegrave Foundation, supporting training in horticulture. Peter Seabrook said “This is the biggest floral display that I have ever planned and helped to stage.

    N I C K B A I L E Y CELEBRATING 30 YEARS IN HORTICULTURE: 1990-2020 I can’t quite believe I’ve been working professionally in horticulture for 30 years! It’s 40 years if you count my childhood immersed in my parent’s garden, but that was always just for love. Though I appreciate my three decades are but a small slice of horticultural history an awful lot has changed. When I started in the late 8 0’s the height of fashion was miniature conifers and heathers. We’ve come a long way since then transitioning through various fashions and phases to arrive at the current trend for meadow-esq plantings, wildlife and exotic species. Take a stroll down memory lane with me to discover all the horticultural happenings of the last 3 decades and what I’ve been up to, too! 1978 – Tractor driving in my grandfather’s orchards 1983 – My first garden on my parents land in Norfolk 1990 I’d worked at the local nursery part time for years before they gave me my first full time job as a propagator and nurseryman. hat first bitterly cold winter and the root runing and otting of my first roses in a potting shed that was somehow colder than it was outside nearly broke me. But I survived and went on to learn so much about tree, shrub, conifer and rose production. • First Hampton Court Flower Show held, organised by Network Rail Southeast • Good Planting by Rosemary Verey first published • Monty Don publishes his first gardening book – The Prickotty Bush • A derelict garden was discovered, it was to become The Lost Gardens of Heligan • Five years after first opening, The Jerusalem Botanical Garden in Israel completed all works, including the conservatory, the South African section and the visitor centre 1991 – Hadlow College, Kent.
