Angus Plants are coming to give an illustrated talk to the Friends in October. 3 Words from the Garden, January 2013 Do most of us really appreciate that our own environment is really man made. The famous patchwork of fields in the countryside are a result of man’s intervention. Our Neolithic forebears started to clear away woodland to produce enclosures for stock. The stock themselves ate the young seedlings so preventing re-afforestation. This pattern continues right to present times, albeit in a more controlled manner. We all have an effect on nature by our very existence and what we do. The countryside, including gardens great and small are under process of change and flux. Back in the 1970’s the government provided grants for farmers to grub out hedge rows and increase field size. The EU now provides grants to replant hedgerows for the re-establishing of insects, birds and small mammals lost after hedgerows removal! There is a programme for planting up a National Forest at a site in Normanton-on-Soar, in Leicestershire. The site is a former coal tip that will become an area of recreation with a large lake, woodland and country walks plus picnic areas. Part of this forest is the Jubilee Wood where trees will be planted in memory of loved ones who have died. My family has sponsored two trees, one for my mother-in-law and the other for my son Cameron who died two years ago. You are probably wondering what this has to do with the Cruickshank Botanic Garden, so let me explain. First and foremost, the environment in the Garden is very much man made. Most of the 130 ‘Order beds’ of plants displayed according to their presumed natural affinities and a large collection of Scottish native plants were lost in World War 1 when the garden was taken over for growing vegetables. The Garden as we know it today gradually developed when finance and expertise coincided and additional ground became available. This leads me to talk about some of the new developments in the Garden and others anticipated. As you enter the Garden and walk towards the herbaceous border, you will notice that the yews and hollies have been removed along the main path to the Zoology building. They had become overgrown and were causing problems for cyclists, while some female students and staff were concerned by large areas of shadow. The horticultural reason was the decline in the growth at this end of the herbaceous border due to a lack of light. We have also cleaned out the base of the hollies in front of the old pond, created a new grass pathway and extended the conservation hedge by more hedge laying to meet the new path. The sides of the path have been planted with spring bulbs. You will notice some amazing art work on the cycle sheds, carried out by Mark and Ben (Zoology student volunteer). The laying out and planting of the labyrinth featured in the P & J was another autumn project and Mark, Audrey, George and I had great fun designing it on paper. We needed a full week and the use of a turf lifter to plant thousands of crocus bulbs, with the help of volunteers. We have also pruned back overhanging branches in the sunken garden which has opened up new vistas. Audrey has planted bulbs by the new path in the rock garden 4 and the areas exposed during this installation. Victor and I along with volunteers planted still more bulbs in the area leading up to the Arboretum and inside the entrance. If you walk to the far end of the Arboretum you will find a picnic and informal children’s play area. This is located at the site of the Pinus mugo, where it has been pruned back to reveal fallen tree trunks. We have carpeted the ground with wood chips which came from trees felled nearby due to Dutch elm disease. We are going to plant some memorial trees in the Arboretum, a collection of Japanese plants and a new informal hedge. All of these will help the bio-diversity of the Garden. Curator Mark and I along with input from the garden staff, Friends committee and University Press have produced a new layout plan of the Garden, for use by visitors, students and other interested bodies. This will be put on a display board and will also be in the new Garden leaflet which should be printed soon. Once you see a copy, you will notice some name changes to areas of the Garden. So all in all a lot is happening here in the life of Cruickshank Botanic Garden. I started by pointing out the changes in the British countryside and how it has always been that way and likely to remain so. Likewise in a great garden the same things happen. I remember Timothy Walker’s talk to the Friends and one thing stuck in my mind. He stated that he and the garden staff at Oxford know that everything they do is temporary and future custodians will change the garden. This is as it should be. Botanic Gardens are not meant to reflect a certain time period as are historic gardens. They should reflect the changes of use of plants throughout their lives and times. I hope all the Friends have a better gardening year than the summer monsoon in 2012. Richard Walker, Head Gardener Primroses Amongst high rocks I love to see a glory of pale primroses. Earthbound, I plunder market stalls buy more cultivated plants, bury my face in their sweet honey.

  • Some Botanical Highlights in the Gardens at the Moment
    SOME BOTANICAL HIGHLIGHTS IN THE GARDENS AT THE MOMENT THE NUMBERS REFER TO THE GARDENS AS SHOWN ON YOUR MAP. Agapanthus is the plant of the month at Ventnor. You can see them all around the Garden but the South African Terrace is as good as anywhere to meet this handsome South African plant. We grow several species and cultivars but a naturally produced Ventnor hybrid has been particularly successful and regenerates on suitable ground right through the Garden. The South African Terrace (3) is now a riot of colour. There are Pelargoniums, Osteospermums, yellow daisy bushes (Euryops), pink African mallows (Anisodontea), Gazanias, Watsonias, blue African Corn Lilies (Agapanthus) and many more, each represented by different species and cultivars. On the left hand side of the path you will see grey mounds of Helichrysum with compact heads of yellow flowers. This is Golden Cudweed or Helichrysum moeserianum (left below), a typical plant of the fynbos, the native shrubland of the Western and Eastern Cape. Another plant of the fynbos is a succulent plant with heads of scarlet flowers, Red Crassula, Crassula coccinea (right below). The long, tubular flowers are nectar-rich and are visited by butterflies, in particular the South African Mountain Pride butterfly. The plant is not hardy in this country. Left: Golden Cudweed, Helichrysum moeserianum Right: Red Crassula, Crassula coccinea In the Australian Garden (4), you will see a number of brightly coloured Bottlebrushes (Callistemon) in flower. Several species, and numerous cultivars, of this quintessentially Australian plant are grown in the Garden. They are pollinated by nectar-feeding birds.

You will also notice Watsonias, plants which grow from corms with lance-shaped leaves and flower spikes bearing curved, tubular flowers in red, pink or orange. There are many different species of Watsonia found in the fynbos in South Africa; several are grown in the Garden. Many are frost tender in this country. In the wild, they are pollinated by sunbirds. Left: Golden Cudweed, Helichrysum moeserianum Right: Watsonia species You may also notice succulent plants growing and flowering on the rock outcrops. There is a large expanse of juicy Hottentot Fig, Carpobrotus edulis, but you will also see an orange flowering plant with mottled leaves. This is the Soap Aloe, Aloe maculata, so-called because the sap makes a soapy lather in water and was traditionally used as a form of soap for washing.
