Better Borders Garden Services

Very happy to have such large visitors in the garden feasting on willow, this is the caterpillar of the night flying Puss Moth (Cerura Vinula)

Small garden? Make use of an old firepit as a planter.

Create a seating area in a sunny spot and surround it with plants that will flower all summer, year after year. A little hidden haven, amongst the flowers, great for watching the bees and butterflies and relaxing.

Privacy screening and greening up a wall

In preparation for Chelsea flower show week, my Lupins, Iris and Foxgloves Alliums and Ornamental Cow Parsley have timed their flowering perfectly

Completed new border 3 weeks in is having the desired effect of being a riot of colour, Lupins and Alliums being the stars of the show

Gotta love spring, everything is fresh and green and healthy and full of promise

Creating a new border in a new build garden. Turf removed, Everedge installed and 123 plants put in their new home. Love a blank canvas and a opportunity to get creative.

A very wet day outside so we had some time in the workshop being creative with some bits of wood and slate, hey presto, one giant bug hotel and a couple of bird boxes.

Snuggled up for winter. Remember to keep any prunings in tact behind trees or under hedges to create a habitat for wildlife during the colder months.

Prairie meadow front garden by betterborders is in its third year and well established. The planting offers enormous opportunities for wildlife, from providing nectar and pollen from late-flowering perennials to shelter for overwintering insects.

Fresh pickings from the cutting garden

Lovely trip to the Somerset Lavender farm, garden and cafe in Faulkland BA35WA.

Lavender hedge by Better Borders, flourishing and covered in bees. Could be in the south of France

Chelsea standard I think, hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weather

Beautiful borders full of fresh early summer perennials

Colour intensity in the garden at the moment is superb.

A bit of spring sunshine brings out the bees and butterflies, here they are both enjoying the Aubretia on a very sunny stone wall

Despite the heavy downpours, the low autumn sunshine makes the garden glow and the autumnal colour pop.

This Bee was enjoying the pollen from the late blooms on the passion flower 🌼

New borders planted up near Bath

This is one way to keep your potted plants happy and hydrated during the heatwave without wasting water, however, no room for me to dip my toes in.

Beautiful lavender hedge by Better Borders, the scent is amazing and the bees are loving it.

My roses are withstanding the heat and still flourishing
