London Road Beds Summer 2008 and Summer 2009

 

The London Road Beds Project:

Up to and including 2005, the 3 London Road beds were planted with colourful formal bedding displays. 

 

In 2005 the theme for the formal bedding displays was the three armed forces

Top right –the roundel of the RAF

Bottom—The White Ensign of the Navy

 

In June 2006, they received their sustainable theme make over and in order to achieve the same colourful impact we chose a vibrant colour scheme of red, orange and yellow 

We planted a frame work of sustainable red berberis, yellow choisya and phormiums together with perennials such as potentillas & geum in the same colour theme to provide all year interest. The beds were then completed with yellow, red and orange nemesia.

 

Summer 2006

 

In 2007 the beds had done very well over their first year and in the Autumn we added many daffodil and tulip bulbs to create a wonderful Spring display in Spring 2008.

 

Spring 2008

 

In 2008 the beds have started to mature nicely and the colour scheme is a definite success. Bedding of antirrhinums, geraniums and begonias are used to keep the colour going all season long.
