A suggestion for a row of tiles as a part of the wall of the Reading Garden. Probably they should be soft tan with the picture tiles in black and the name in a red-brown?
Five names on tiles alongside plant tiles toward top of wall:
Carolus Linnaeus
Andre Michaux
Pierre Joseph Redouté
Le Notre
Kristian Konrad Sprengel
