		border designs



A colourful slope

	"Ground cover plants combined with small spruce trees, bulbs and perennials create a colourful, mainly evergreen border that is attractive all year round and can be planted on sloping ground."



English-style rose-border

	"Several different rose varieties have been used in this border, in combination with shrubs and perennials. The varieties used and the way in which they have been planted create an English ambience in the garden."



Fabulous fragrances

	Fragrance adds an extra dimension to this border. From early spring to late autumn, enjoy lovely aromatic flowers. This border is part of a small, playful design, with flowing lines. The trellis, placed transversely across the border, divides the garden into separate areas.



Flowers around a water feature

	Rippling water surrounded by atmospheric planting with the accent on unusual flowers. This neglected corner of the garden is transformed into a colourful water garden. With an old garden wall as a backdrop, a classical urn forms the focal point. Straight smooth lines (zinc edges) combine beautifully with the natural lines of water and plants.



Plants with wet feet, for growing next to a stream

	"A stream in the garden, and next to it a border with moisture-loving plants."



The complete spring garden

	A border filled with many different spring-flowering bulbs which is still attractive when the flowers are spent thanks to evergreen shrubs, ground cover plants and perennials.
