Garden planting & borders in Rottingdean

Planning the work

Give a flower bed a clear purpose

A front bed might need to frame an entrance, while a rear border may be somewhere you want flowers to enjoy from the house. Describe the area you want planted and what you would like to see there. Photos taken from the usual viewing point can help explain the result you have in mind.

Existing shrubs and flowers can be part of the starting point. Point out anything that should stay, and mention plants that crowd the area you want to use. The amount of light and the available space help shape a practical discussion about new planting.
