*The Mixed BorderAlong the central road an extensive mixed border has been developed and continues to mature and change as new plants are introduced and others are removed. With the space provided the mixed border is an ideal way to explore the full spectrum of plants, from short lived annuals and ephemerals to trees and shrubs, interspersed through a rich matrix of herbaceous perennials. Thus providing changing displays throughout the seasons of the year. The mixed border is one of continuous change and for it to be at its very best there has to be a considerable amount of labour input during the year.
