WHY BUY A READY-MADE GARDEN BORDER?

Having a shady part of the garden usually puts people off planting, but these kits have taken all the guess work out of it.  The template will help you achieve a stunning garden and enable you to rock your inner Carol Klein without the designer price tag.

The handy shopping list contains all the information to simply buy what’s necessary.  No need to spend hours trawling the internet or wandering around the garden centre trying to read small plant labels – it’s all done for you.  They are time-saving and worry-free – what’s not to love!

The chosen plants are shade-loving and simple to look after too and will provide enjoyment for many years to come.

All designs contain a mixture of perennials (plants that die back in the winter and return in the spring) and evergreen plants. The plans have taller plants at the back of the border, with shorter plants at the front of the border which provides a tiered effect. The taller plants will grow to around 1m in height but can be pruned to the required height and shape.
