Marshal produced the only surviving example of a seventeenth-century English flower-book (or ‘florilegium’). His great work, painstakingly completed over at least three decades, amounts to a personal archive, for Marshal was not a professional artist but a well-connected gentleman-amateur with a passionate interest in plants. In 1653, Marshal was offered and refused 300 pieces of gold for his flower- book, which became his lifetime’s work. He left as his legacy an exquisite visual record of the plants in cultivation in some of the most important and exciting gardens of his generation. Marshal maintained two gardens of his own, one in Islington, North London, and the other in Northamptonshire, For copyright reasons, possibly at Castle Ashby, electronic members may only view this image the seat of James Compton, at 3rd Earl of Northampton https://www.royalcollection.org.uk/ (1622-81). But it was collection/924344/spiderwort-tradescantia- from the gardens of his virginiana-l-with-an-unnamed-snail-family- friends John Tradescant helicidae the Younger (1608-62) at Lambeth in London, and Henry Compton, Bishop of London (1631/2-1713) at Fulham Palace, that he must have drawn the richest inspiration for his volume of watercolours. The earliest record of Spiderwort (Tradescantia virginiana), a snail, an unidentified rose called ‘the Ragatte Rose’, Nigella hispanica and Love-in-a-mist, double form). (Royal Collection Trust / © Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2016) The Art Of The Garden 1 Marshal shows him living in Lambeth with John Tradescant the Younger in 1641, and he is known to have completed a flower-book for his friend, depicting ‘the choicest Flowers and Plants’ in the South London garden. One of the folios on display in Edinburgh (RCIN 924344) shows one of John Tradescant the Elder’s introductions from Virginia. Spiderwort (Tradescantia virginiana) was grown in England for the first time by the elder Tradescant, although it had been known in Europe since the previous century. Marshal included pink- and purple-flowering specimens, combined in an informal arrangement on the same sheet, with two other new introductions: Spanish Love-in-a-mist (Nigella hispanica), first described at Droxford, near Petersfield, Hampshire in 1621 by the botanist John Goodyear (c. 1592-1664); and a double form of Love-in- a-mist (Nigella damascena ‘Flore Pleno’), which was already growing in English gardens by 1578. Although native species such as the Sweet Briar (Rosa rubiginosa) or Common Milkwort (Polygala vulgaris) appear in Marshal’s flower-book, it is the new varieties beloved by seventeenth-century florists and plant- hunters that dominate his work. Among its pages are included 60 tulips, 60 carnations and 38 auriculas, reflecting the particular fascination that these exotic new species held for Marshal and his contemporaries. Side- by-side in Edinburgh are two folios which depict highly-prized auriculas. The first folio (RCIN 924280) shows two diminutive examples beneath a towering Crown Imperial (Fritillaria imperialis - see the cover of this issue). The Crown Imperial was introduced to Vienna from Constantinople in 1576 and was named after the imperial gardens where it was first grown. On the second sheet are fourteen stems of the naturally occurring Auricula hybrid. The example in the top left-hand corner shows a rare double- striped flower. The Reverend Samuel Gilbert, writing in The Florist’s Vade Mecum (1682), called two similar double-striped auriculas ‘the two choicest rarities in Flora’s cabinet’. Many of the flowers shown on this sheet have either notched or pointed petals and are thrum-eyed. Only four have pin-eyed tubes. The leaves also vary, with most being either dentate or slightly serrate. Possibly the most remarkable of any of Marshal’s paintings is the unnamed tulip on folio 36 (RCIN 924303) of Marshal’s flower-book. It demonstrates the particular interest of seventeenth-century plantsmen in an attribute of the tulip that was not fully understood at the time but which was ruthlessly pursued by plant connoisseurs – the ‘flamed’ appearance of the petals which took on intricate striped patterns. The phenomenon is caused by a virus spread by aphids, and plants endowed with this feature were valued even more highly than the norm.

  • New Plantings in the Arboretum the YEAR in REVIEW
    Four new have been Four new Yoshino cherry trees have Yoshinobeen planted along planted Azalea Way. cherry trees along Azalea New Plantings in the Arboretum THE YEAR IN REVIEW T EX T B Y R AY L A R SON P HO T OS B Y N IA ll D UNNE n the five years that I have been curator, 2018 was the most active in terms of new plantings in the Arboretum. A majority of these centered around the new Arboretum Loop Trail and adjacent areas, many of which were enhanced, rehabilitated and Iaugmented. We also made improvements to a few other collection and garden areas with individual and smaller plantings. Following is a summary of some of the more noticeable new plantings you might encounter during your next visit. Winter 2019 v 3 Arboretum Entrance Perhaps the most obvious major planting occurred in March, just north of the Graham Visitors Center, with the creation of a new, large bed at the southeast corner of the intersection of Arboretum Drive and Foster Island Road. This intersection changed a lot as part of the Loop Trail construction—with the addition of new curbs and crosswalks—and we wanted to create a fitting entrance to the Arboretum at its north end. The new planting was also intended to alleviate some of the soil compaction and social trails that had developed on the east side of Arboretum Drive during trail construction. What’s more, we wanted to encourage pedes- trians to use the new gravel trail on the west side of the Drive to connect from the lower parking lots to the Visitors Center—rather than walk in the road.

  • NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012
    NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012 Hansen's Northwest Native Plant Database www.nwplants.com Foreword Once upon a time, there was a very kind older gentleman who loved native plants. He lived in the Pacific northwest, so plants from this area were his focus. As a young lad, his grandfather showed him flowers and bushes and trees, the sweet taste of huckleberries and strawberries, the smell of Giant Sequoias, Incense Cedars, Junipers, pines and fir trees. He saw hummingbirds poking Honeysuckles and Columbines. He wandered the woods and discovered trillium. When he grew up, he still loved native plants--they were his passion. He built a garden of natives and then built a nursery so he could grow lots of plants and teach gardeners about them. He knew that alien plants and hybrids did not usually live peacefully with natives. In fact, most of them are fierce enemies, not well behaved, indeed, they crowd out and overtake natives. He wanted to share his information so he built a website. It had a front page, a page of plants on sale, and a page on how to plant natives. But he wanted more, lots more. So he asked for help. I volunteered and he began describing what he wanted his website to do, what it should look like, what it should say. He shared with me his dream of making his website so full of information, so inspiring, so educational that it would be the most important source of native plant lore on the internet, serving the entire world.

  • Planting Schemes Advice Note 2021
    Natural Environment Team East Dorset Environment Partnership Dorset Biodiversity Appraisal Protocol Advice Note Planting scheme recommendations Introduction This advice note was written with the East Dorset Environment Partnership and is intended primarily to assist ecological consultants and developers when submitting Biodiversity Plans (BPs) and Landscape & Ecological Management Plans (LEMPs) to DC NET for review under the Dorset Biodiversity Appraisal Protocol (DBAP) by describing how to maximise the biodiversity potential of good planting schemes designed to deliver multiple benefits and contribute to achieving biodiversity net gain. Making the most of existing habitats strengthened through strong eco-tones; sound planting composition; connectivity to ecological networks within and beyond site boundaries and appropriate on-going management are all fundamental elements of an outstanding planting scheme. Submitted planting schemes for developments should seek to offer biodiversity benefit and comply with Dorset Council’s Pollinators Action Plan and Green Infrastructure Strategies. Schemes should demonstrate how they will contribute to addressing the Climate & Ecological Emergency Strategy (Draft 2020). Currently, many schemes appear to be generic designs that do not take account of local conditions and are based on widely available and low-cost shrubs; many of which are invasive, potentially invasive or nuisance plants known as ‘garden thugs’. This is of particular concern where new sites for development are on the rural fringe and pose a significant risk of spreading damaging alien plant species into the wider countryside and sensitive semi-natural habitats. Recent published work by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and others has focussed on lists of plants that attract pollinators rather than broader biodiversity considerations.
