Aka "Designing a Border from Scratch Part II"
This Talk is the second of a series of three. Each Talk has a different focus and is packed with enough information to stand on its own.
Part II takes a look at the principle maintenance tasks that we have in the border and gives tips and advice on ways to reduce these at the outset. Recent planting methods and styles which have arisen out of the search for low maintenance borders are discussed as an alternative to the traditional Mixed Border. Practical details of ground preparation and planting are also covered alongside case studies with more Designer tips and warnings of common pitfalls.
