- Synopsis:
Bed and borders are the heart and soul of many fine gardens, providing structure and height to a garden and a mass of spectacular colours across the spring and summer and into the autumn. This superbly filmed video demonstrates the best possible garden practices for creating a bed or border that is both beautiful and long-lasting - whether laying out and planning from scratch or maintaining one that has long been established. The video tackles all aspects of how to create beautiful beds and borders through each stage, from such activities as preparing the soil, choice of plants, arrangement of plants and then the care and maintenance of plants through the seasons. The video looks into many of the common problems encountered whilst growing beds and borders, and looks at some of the secrets used by some of the head gardeners from the country's finest gardens, including such things as perennial weed problems, mulching and natural fertilising as well as plant choice and colour and design. The film takes an in depth look at which plants are most suitable annuals, biennials and herbaceous perennials as well as trees and shrubs. This invaluable guide has been filmed at a range of English gardens where the plant collections are extensive, but also includes footage from smaller, more individual gardens.
The video covers the following areas:
- Design and layout
- Soils and fertilisers
- Choice of plant for region and soil type
