Plant Collection Gardening starts on 13th March, 2013. A plant collection is any grouping of plants, growing in an area, that are connected by a theme. Another definition is that it is a themed group of plants for educational, conversation, scientific and aesthetic purposes.
My themes was Blue and White flowered plants and White and Pink flowered plants in the six plot in Harbour Terrace The Living Campus Garden on Forth Street campus. Garden often have an overall style that is created by the layout of the garden and the plant within it. The theme in all the plots is to open peoples's eye by pulling together a group of plants and for visitors a sense of appreciation who passing by the campus to Student Centre.
The classes was weekly on Wednesday from 13th March, 2013 until 5th June, 2013 approximately 13 weeks. We were monitoring weekly for 13 weeks on the plots. Kimberly Burton and myself was given six plots in Living Campus to reorganise this areas. The first week we were planning what types of plants to be organize on the plots. Then we started with pulling all weeds on the plots together all unwanted and wilted plants. We also clean all unwanted pebbles, small stones and many tiny roots from other plants. When all the plots are tidy we mulch with compost. Then we start planting all the plants such combination of pink and white flow.
The first plot from the left entrance to Student Centre are the combination of pink and white.
The second plot are combination of white and pink flowers
The sixth plot are combination of blue and white flowers
The third plot in the centre are the combination of blue and white flowers
