Planting & Herbaceous Borders
Planning, planting and improving borders with plant combinations that work in your soil and aspect.
A good border has structure in winter, interest from early spring and generosity in high summer. That comes from plant selection, spacing and ongoing management rather than a single planting day.
Paula plans and improves borders for gardens across Rugby and the surrounding villages, working with the heavy clay soils common in this part of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire.
Planting that suits the site
Clay soils hold water in winter and bake in summer. Choosing plants that genuinely enjoy those conditions — and improving the soil with organic matter — gives far better long-term results than fighting the site.
Filling gaps and adding colour
Sometimes a border needs renovation; often it just needs the right plants added in the right places. Paula will advise honestly on which is the case.
