Putting some Order to the Herbaceous Border

During October more work has been carried out on the herbaceous border with various students getting involved and moving to improve the border before it starts getting chilly.


 
Here you can see Dan & Holly planting Nepeta on the edge of the border and collecting bark chipping, which they sieved to mulch the area.



 
And this is Zoe who was planting Knautia - to do this she dug a hole or plant pocket, combined compost and top soil, loosened the roots as the plants were a little pot bound and then planted Knautia, filling back in the holes and spaced them out using her trowel, which was about 30cm in size.
