During this course, aimed at anyone creating a new border or completely re-designing an existing one, Laura de Beden will discuss the basic principles for positioning the border in the overall context of the garden, taking account of aspect and conditions, and then deciding on its scale and shape. She will go on to explain how to devise a planting scheme with an emphasis on achieving the right balance of form and structure, and rewarding colour combinations. As ever Laura will be brimful of imaginative ideas to enhance your borders.
