360° VR ultraviolet panorama by the flower beds near the tennis courts in Welland Park, Market Harborough, UK. In ultraviolet, flowers can have quite a different appearance compared to how they look in visible light. The Rudbeckia flowers in this image have a dark area around the centre of the flower, something that is not visible to humans.
This kind of pattern is visible on many different species of flower, and is often referred to as a ‘nectar guide’. Bees and other insects can see UV light, and it is thought the dark marking around the centre of the flower helps the insects find the centre of the flower (where the nectar and pollen are located).
The french marigold flowers appear completely black in UV, contrasting with their much brighter appearance in visible light.

360° VR panorama of the Elizabethan Vegetable Garden in Barnsdale Gardens, Rutland, UK. The plants in the Elizabethan Vegetable Garden are planted close together to maximise the available soil usage. Flowers are also grown alongside the vegetables, making the garden look less strictly utilitarian. All the gardening can be done from the pathways, removing the need for standing or kneeling on the soil when tending the plants.

360° VR panorama of the Ornamental Kitchen Garden in Barnsdale Gardens, Rutland, UK. Originally built for the television series ‘Ornamental Kitchen Garden’, this garden features both vegetables and flowers growing side by side. The television series was first shown in 1990, and was made to promote the idea that fruit and vegetables have ornamental value, as well as being edible.
The plants in the Ornamental Kitchen Garden are cropped regularly, and so a well thought out planting schedule is very important. People often find it difficult to separate the ornamental and edible plants in the garden, which is testament to the design of the garden and the choice of plants made.
