  • The Lautaret Alpine Botanical Garden Guidebook
    The Lautaret Alpine Botanical Garden Guidebook Serge Aubert The Lautaret Alpine Botanical Garden, as it exists today, has been shaped by the work of the bota- nists involved in its development for over a century. This guide presents the Garden itself (its history, work and collections), the exceptional environment of the Col du Lautaret, and provides an intro- duction to botany and alpine ecology. The guidebook also includes the results of research work on alpine plants and ecosystems carried out at Lautaret, notably by the Laboratory of Alpine Ecology based in Grenoble. The Alpine Garden has a varied remit: it is open to the general public to raise their awareness of the wealth of diversity in alpine environments and how best to conserve it, it houses and develops a variety of collections (species from mountain ranges across the world, a seed bank, herbarium, arboretum, image bank & specialist library), it trains students and contributes to research in alpine biology. It is a university botanical garden which develops synergies between science and society, welcoming in 15,000 – 20,000 visitors each summer. Prior to 2005 the Garden was not directly involved in research, but since then a partnership has been established with the Chalet-Laboratory through the Joseph Fourier Alpine Research Station, and mixed structure of the Grenoble University and of the French Scientific Recearch Centre (CNRS). These shared facilities also include the Robert Ruffier-Lanche arboretum and the glasshouses on the Grenoble campus. The Lautaret site is the only high altitude biological research station in Europe, and has been recognised by the French government’s funding programme (Investissements d’ave- nir) as Biology and Health National Infrastructure (ANAEE-S) in the field of ecosystem science and experimentation.

  • Planting List Fruit
    Grapes Hill Community Garden - Planting List This list is no longer being updated. (Last update was on 23rd December 2013.) For an up to date list of fruit tree sponsors, see our Fruit Tree list. Six GHCGG members, led by Jeremy Bartlett, formed a 'Planting Sub-committee' to decide what to plant. Planting mostly took place in spring 2011. The garden contains a large number of edible plants - fruit trees and bushes, herbs (over 30 varieties), vegetables and plants with edible flowers, such as French marigolds (Calendula) and day lilies (Hemerocallis). We have a small apple orchard, fan-trained cherries, a fig, a plum, an apricot, raspberries and blackberries. More unusual fruit includes quince and medlar trees, honeyberries, Japanese wineberries and alpine strawberries. We have retained the original four ash trees and these provide welcome shade in summer. In the shadier areas we have planted woodland wildflowers such as primroses, snowdrops and bluebells. Underneath the apple trees is a small meadow area with an interesting mix of wild flowers and grasses. There are also some cornfield annuals – these were most apparent in 2011. We also have plenty of ornamental shrubs and flowers to make the garden attractive to people and wildlife alike. Plants marked ● are growing just outside the garden. Not all the plants may be visible at any time. Some woodland wildflowers and bulbs die down in the summer and many hardy perennials die back in winter. The deep beds contain various annual vegetables and herbs, which are not listed. Plants that have died are marked in grey. These were annuals sown in 2011 or 2012 or other plants killed by summer drought or winter cold and damp.

Moreover, the roots of only two of them are defined by the European Union (EU) Pharmacopoeia monograph and commercially utilized by the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, this study intended to find some new sources of main triterpene saponins from Primulae radix, namely primulasaponins I and II together with the closely related sakurasosaponin. Using isolated standards, UHPLC-ESI-HRMS served to assess over 155 Primulaceae members qualitatively and quantitatively. Nine examples of plants accumulating over 5% of primulasaponin I in their roots were found. Among them, in one case, it was found as the almost sole secondary metabolite with the concentration of 15–20% (Primula grandis L.). A reasonable content of primulasaponin II was found to be typical for Primula vulgaris Huds.

    tiny taxonomy Tiny Taxonomy is a little garden with big ambitions, showcasing species that are in cultivation but rarely planted. I have selected a grouping of plants, and categorized them by common traits derived from an evolution towards feature miniaturization. Due to the diminutive size of their features, these plants are often overlooked and therefore tend to be under-specified. It seems that as the world around us gains complexity and intricacy, our biological world is tending towards monotony. As our experienc- es become more and more uniform, our capacity to apprehend transformation and beauty diminishes. Tiny Taxonomy considers micro-features a design opportunity suggesting subtlety as an Vancouveria hexandra attraction while inviting attention, respect, and even delight.

Each plant is selected for its foliage size, The history of classification is as old as our collective desire to organize the ranging from dwarf cushions and compact mounds to succulent rosettes or processes of life. Our capacity to appreciate and catalogue the natural world has grassy fronds. Most of the species on display have a direct correlation with hab- been well documented but it is rarely questioned for its cultural value. Creating itat, though it is by no means perfect.
