Planting Design 1 - Hemingford Abbots
Design Rationale
Hemingford Abbots
A border for pollinators. This design features plants that are magnets for bees, butterflies, moths and other insects. Watch them all being devoured in the summer! There are berries for birds and seedheads in the winter for the insects to hibernate in.
Evergreen’s add structural interest through the winter months and larger leaved plants provide architectural forms.
It is a harmoniously coloured border of purples to lilacs with whites and gentle pinks. Silvery green leaves nestle and contrast against the darkness of evergreen Taxus baccata.
