Award of Garden Merit (AGM) Borders

Sections of the borders are devoted to different conditions and features which are likely to be found in gardens everywhere, for example, shrub borders, island beds densely planted with herbaceous perennials, and plantings suitable for dry shade.

For winter and early spring colour, scented shrubs such as Camellia ‘Winton’  have been planted. Lower level plants include Ophiopogon planiscapus nigrescens, together with ferns, such as Asplenium scolopendrium, and early flowering bulbs eg snowdrops, winter aconite and several varieties of Anemone nemorosa and the Spring Iris, ‘Jane Philips’ and Viburnum plicate f. tomentosum.
