Award of Garden Merit (AGM) Borders
The AGM borders were started in the 1970s by Curator Don Williams to display the plants that have been given this award by the Royal Horticultural Society.
The bed nearest the Education Centre entrance displays plants with interesting textures and fragrances. The next area features a selection of larger herbaceous perennials. Plants requiring a really acid soil (e.g. heathers and camellias) can be found in the next section. At the top of the border are plants which provide winter colour.
