N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Whose garden?

[David Price]

This is coll W H Beeby.

Other plants coll Beeby are from "Hort Reigate" with a note of their provenance e.g. "root from Bletchingley, Surrey" which suggests that it may have been Beeby's own garden (did he live in Reigate?). On the other hand W W Saunders, famed for his gardens, lived in Reigate until 1874, so his is a possibility.
