Herbaceous border


All those keen gardeners out there will correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is what we in England call an 'herbaceous border' (and in North America, a perennial border?)  Whatever, I thought it looked magnificent, even in the small space of this back garden.  One of my favourite gardens from this year's 'Open Gardens', it was a steeply sloping site cleverly arranged into three level terraces.  Each little 'room' was delightful.

    Delightful. We were lucky to have ours in a field so we could prune and dig from BOTH sides...

    Yes, we would call it a perennial border over here. It is wonderful. I love the English gardens. (Heck, I love American gardens, too.)

    Why doesn't my garden look like this?

    I love Open Gardens afternoons - all the joy of gardens and none of the work!

    Oh how beautiful! And the truth of it is, someone still has to pull those weeds to get it to look like that. :-)
