A plastic wallet is located at the front of the library which is used for your Colour Calendar. It can be removed and used separately. Equally, the plantsticks can be removed and laid out separately on any flat surface.
There are 2 principle ways to use the ‘SeeHow’ tool.
Using the empty wallets at the front section of the SeeHow Manual you can fill them from the Plantsick library and slide these into position in your Colour Calendar to create a single image of the plant combinations over a whole year. The selected plants can be interchanged as desired from the library to achieve the colour combinations hoped for at exactly the right time in the year. Used in this way, the SeeHow Manual can be easily carried into the garden or taken to the local plant nursery and used in real-time to aid plant selection.
Simply remove the selected Plantsticks from the library and lay these out on any convenient flat surface. In this way you can explore any number of plant colour combinations.
For herbaceous perennials the Plantstick illustrates the plant from first shoots through maturity and flowering to eventual death. The key growth phases are illustrated in colour including, for example, plants that provide physical structure, winter habitat and seed-heads for insects, birds and small animals. For deciduous woody shrubs the planticks show the plant over the whole year, illustrating leaf, flower and fruit growth as appropriate.
The Plantsticks are arranged within the library by colour and each coloured section is organised by calendar, from January to December.
Regarding the issue of the different sizes of plants, the selected plants range from small plants normally selected for ground cover and only about 10cm high, to quite large woody shrubs and climbers up to 5m or more in height. Equally, some plants have tiny leaves and flowers and some have large leaves and flowers. This does present a difficulty regarding how to portray such a variety of plants on a surface 16mm high x 120mm long. This has been addressed by the quality of the illustrations themselves which illustrate the character of the plant, sometimes showing the whole plant and sometimes only part of the plant, sometimes focussing on the form of the leaves and flowers and of course the colour. The reverse side of the plantstick contains technical information to allow the user to make the appropriate choice for their garden space, location and plant-neighbours.
