Thursday 3 August 2000. A dinnertime wander to the Plant Centre. This will be mainly a photographic entry to the blog with very little commentary. What I know about horticulture and botany can be written in large handwriting on the back of a postage stamp... (Remember them...?)
I have my own five-category way of identifying plant life...
1. If it is green all over and spiky - it's a grass or (2.) a cactus.
3. If it is green with coloured bits on top - it's a flower.
4. If it is green all over and very wide - it's a bush (or alternatively - a shrub).
5. If it's green and wide on top of a long brown thick stalk - it's a tree!
Anything that falls outisde these categories can be best categorized and dealt with in one of two ways...
1. If it's not in your way or doing harm - leave it alone.
2. If it is in your way and doesn't move when shooed, then it's probably a plant that can be dug up or chopped down.
Just past the Plant Centre were some plots that were regularly used by Landscape students as test plots.
A bit of wickerwork fencing.
Ivy coloured wall.
The hedge maze. I used to love this, but it had to go in order for a new building to go up sometime later.
