Which one will you choose?

Design 1 - Evergreen Border for amazing colour and interest all year round

I believe every border has a personality of its own, and the evergreen border can be described as ‘Constant’.

This border is a constant throughout the year, and it never ceases to amaze with its colourful combination of evergreen shrubs and hardy perennials. It’s a vivid tapestry of everlasting colour.  Splashes of lime green, sunny yellow, and vibrant orange and red emerge from among the glossy green foliage of Skimmia Rubella and the rich aubergine leaves of Pittosporum Tom Thumb, creating a sense of opulence and exuberance. It's a border that remains constant and yet with glorious explosions of colour that keep the garden alive throughout all seasons.

Design 2 - Shady Border with pops of glorious colour

I believe every border has a personality of its own, and the shady colour border can be described as ‘surprising’.

In the heart of this shady border, unexpected bursts of colour stand out from a serene backdrop. Amongst the cool and calm greenery, pops of deep reds from Astilbe and Hellebores, striking orange from Geum Firestorm, the vivid pink of Anemone Prinz Henrick and the rich purple of Liriope all stand out like jewels and infuse life and energy into the shadowy corners of your garden. This shady border will surprise and delight you with its contrast of tranquillity versus vivacity.

Design 3 - Shady Border with calm, soft, muted colours

I believe every border has a personality of its own, and the shady pastel border can be described as ‘graceful’ .

This calm shady border will create a serene and beautiful space in your garden with a combination of cool lime greens contrasting with warm, deep reds from a variety of flowering shrubs, forming the perfect backdrop for a host of soft perennials in pastel hues of pinks, purples and whites. Amongst some of the plants featured you’ll find feathery ferns mixed in with sparkly white Astrantia, and Hydrangea Limelight partnered with Physocarpus Lady in Red, all providing gorgeous texture and depth to this shady retreat.

Design 4 - Sunny Border with stunning vibrant, drought tolerant plants

I believe every border has a personality of its own, and the sunny vibrant border can be described as ‘vivacious’.

This gorgeous border is full of life with rich and vibrant colours. It’s a dynamic combination of fiery reds and electric orange, with vivid purples and sunshine yellows in between. With a gorgeous variety of drought tolerant, bee loving plants you’ll find Rudbeckia ‘black-eyed Susan’ jostling alongside Achillea Terracotta, surrounded by the tall powdery blue spikes of Perovskia. If you’re looking for a border that’s full of energy and life, then this one is for you.

Design 5 - Sunny Border with pastel shades of pinks, purples and whites

I believe every border has a personality of its own, and the sunny pastel border can be described as ‘chic’.

In this sun-kissed border, you’ll find a delicate palette of pastel-coloured perennials surrounded by a beautiful selection of flowering shrubs. The soft, muted shades of blush pink Echinacea, powder blue Nepeta, and fresh white Delphiniums create a chic and free-spirited display against lush lime greens and the soft bronze foliage of Viburnum Bodentense Dawn. It's a border that sparkles with a zest for life yet has a sense of serenity and gentle beauty.
