Getting a lush, professionally designed garden border is as easy as planting by numbers. Garden on a Roll's team of passionate horticulturists carefully select and place plants that will fill out over the summer weeks and years, giving you a beautiful garden border to suit your style.
How to create the perfect border
Step 1
Choose the style of border you would like, selecting the width and length of the border you would like to cover.
Step 2
Once your Garden on a Roll has arrived, prepare the border. Using a garden fork, turn the soil over, adding compost throughout. You should dig down to 30cm for best results.
Step 3
Roll out the paper and peg down. Set out the plants matching the letter on the plant pot to the letter on the paper.
Step 4
Cut along the dotted cross. Take the plants out of their pots and plant through the paper.
Step 5
Cover the paper with the remaining compost and water thoroughly.
Step 6
Continue watering daily for the first two weeks. If it rains, skip a day. After two weeks, watering can be reduced to every other day depending on the weather. The soil should never dry out; if it is hot and sunny, water every day. The paper will biodegrade in 6-8 weeks. Sit back and watch your garden flourish.
