Description

New build gardens can be challenging to dig and difficult to turn into a beautiful space. This easy Border in a Box kit helps you quickly create a professionally designed new build garden border, especially for clay soil, but it also works brilliantly in normal loam soil or raised beds.

Clay soil is notoriously difficult to work with and most people think you can’t have a beautiful border, but this kit shows you how to create a welcoming garden to relax in.  This design makes the perfect gift for someone special who has moved into a new-build property.

The border measures 3m x 1m, but can easily be adapted to fit any size or shape of border.

All designs contain a mixture of perennials 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.

What’s Included in Your New Build Garden Border Kit:

• Garden design (fully labelled) to know what plant goes where
• Plant list – containing simple and clear information about each plant in the design including plant care and flowering periods
• Tips and ideas to personalise and help you create your gorgeous garden
• 2 Packets of seeds to scatter between the plants for added colour from spring through to autumn
• Mood board with photos of each plant so you can see how pretty they look together
• 2 x wooden plant labels
• Book – “Creating Your Garden”. Includes 60 pages of top tips, ideas and easy-to-read information to help all new gardeners

Please note: This kit does not include plants.
