How you can get the Wimbledon look in your garden

Each summer, the reasons for Wimbledon, from 5,000 hydrants in the field, more than 200 hanging baskets and 1,700 grooves in blue and white shades of more than 12,000 oil blooms. Numerous fragrant roses cover the iconic rose belt, while the birds are nested on both sides of the screen of 1 court, including the walls of the central court in Boston Ivy, and 15 different plants, including Heucheras, Hebes, Euonymus and Ivy.

All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club recently established bird boxes on the field with bee hives and live camera feeds to the indoor tennis center.

Martyn Falconer, who has been working there for 26 years, says that the traditional style is always the British garden, but this is becoming more sustainable.

Long -lasting, such as Verbenas, Ekinase, Salvias and ornamental herbs, has become more common while looking for alternatives to bed plants, while the club is still presenting a magnificent screen.

“We have used many years in previous days, but to obtain the Wow factor, more than a lot of British garden -style planting rather than too many beds, more herbaceous transition to a perennial plant output.

“Even though we still bring a lot of things for containers and pop-up gardens, there is a standard palette planted on the ground, Fal says Falconer (10 more up to plus championships) for 42 acres of season.

Of course, as Falconer and his team create magnificent floral landscapes, the accumulation of the tournament is very busy. Especially for the championships, approximately 27,000 plants are brought.

Every day of the tournament, despite the automatic irrigation system, the plants that look a little dry and do not appear in the best way with the backups waiting on the wings, dead heading, irrigation lice, dead heads, irrigation lice.

When the visitors entered, the gardeners magically entered the background and left the flower screens to dazzle.

After the championships, various plants are donated to local charities in Merton and Wandsworth. Personnel members also go to the Wimbledon Foundation.

It should not be very difficult to make Wimbledon appear in your own home, if you are using trademark plants and classic blue and white color schemes.

Hydrangea

The most iconic plant in Wimbledon is probably the least sustainable, considering the large amount of water it needs, it accepts, but it will be tolerated to TLC after well.

“Your soil type will determine the color of the Median. Remember whether you buy a blue median and if you don’t have acidic soil, this color will change.”

You can buy hydrangea feeding to help your plant back blue.

Wimbledon uses the ‘dance’ collection. “Last year we had a ‘deep purple dance’ on the balcony of the members. This year there is a beautiful one called ‘Blue Boogie Woogeie’ and ‘Red Reggae’ and ‘Magical Amethyst’. They are all common in garden centers and online.

To get the wimbledon appearance, you can plant an median in a pot with blue and white petunias.

Petunias

“All baskets are only petunias. The modules circulating around the balcony cultivates around the Central Court are sky blue and white, only simple and only petunias are ready in good garden centers.

“I recommend regular nutrition, dead title and irrigation, but I recommend that they cannot excessively water. They don’t care to be a little dry, but they don’t allow them to dry completely.”

Roses

The rose Arbor in Wimbledon is permanently sewn with ‘Madame Alfred Carrière’ and ‘New Dawn’ climbing roses, which would be easy to plant if you want to cover a bazaar at home.

“’Madam Alfred Carrière’ starts quite pink and as it grows, as it grows, there is a more palette, ‘New Dawn’ has a white flower.

Herbaceous boundaries

The boundaries reflecting Wimbledon will predominantly blue and green, so it is again relatively simple. For height, it also uses a magnet, Miscanthus and Stipa Tenuissima, Ecinaseas and Salvia ‘Amistad’ to dust the insects.

Pastel pink foxglooves and delaphiniums can also be combined for color burst and shrub roses such as ‘refrigerator’, which is added to a lower level.

Leaf tissues

“To give this beautiful bright, big leaf type, we use a very different leaf texture to add contrast, including Pittosphecums and Fatsia Japica under the balcony.

“We don’t always look at the flowers alone, so we use variegated greens to break it down.”

Wimbledon championships work between June 30 – July 13, 2025
