Not only does a garden border have the capacity to frame the landscape and make the area around the border look vibrant, but the right border can be relied upon throughout the season, from spring until the first frost, as a source of sustenance for pollinators. The RHS suggests that this is possible by selecting the correct flower species and managing the border after blooming is complete.
The tendency is for many people to spend their time focusing on flowers during the summer and then clearing all of the growth out afterwards. However, research suggests that it may be better to consider a border as a system as opposed to something temporary.
