The article reports that Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, England continues the tradition of carpet bedding, the planted patterns of foliage and flowers in designed beds. It mentions about the design inspired by the "Rothschilds in Racing" exhibition in which there were 200,000 bedding plants used in the parterre to the south of the manor. It cites that there were various plants included in the raised ribbon planting with a horse as a centerpiece like petunias, cotton lavender, and marigold.

The article describes the garden of the Shulbrede Priory located in the English countryside in Sussex, England. The small garden shows up the brighter for its surroundings of meadow and wood. It was probably more utilitarian, herbs and vegetables taking up most of the ground. The yellow mimulus, which grows wild in the stream, the wild pansies and marigold, which persistently appear in the best weeded beds, and the wallflowers which perch themselves out of reach in the crannies of the wall, gave color to the garden.
