In Best Borders, Tony Lord looks behind the scenes to discover how top gardeners tackle a defining, yet often neglected, element of the garden: the border. He examines 12 different herbaceous and mixed borders, providing an in-depth analysis of both the quality and variety of the plantings. Illuminating interviews with their designers, and with the gardeners who maintain them, reveal how each border-Æs distinctive style and individuality are attained. Stunning, full-color photographs of each border throughout the year are supplemented by detailed planting plans and hands-on tips and techniques. The planting schemes, based on borders created by some of England-Æs most innovative gardeners, range from formal double-borders to artfully designed beds for a narrow, city garden to rich plantings providing year-round interest. With a wealth of expert advice and inspiring ideas, Best Borders is an essential resource for every discerning gardener.
