London - Do you fancy a bit of Wimbledon in your own back garden? The All England Club has finally disclosed how you can do it.
“For a Championship-standard garden lawn, you need 100 percent rye grass, cut to 8mm.
“For creeper-clad walls, you will want to train Boston Ivy (parthenocissus tricuspidata veitchii), although this may take several years to establish impressive cover,” head gardener Martyn Falconer points out.
“The iconic green paint on the masonry is Permaglaze Spruce Green, code 14C39. Should you wish to highlight the colours of the club logo, the Pantone reference for the green is PMS 349 and for the purple PMS 268.”
So now you know.
