The herbaceous border

Although this started as such, it gradually developed with the addition of small shrubs and decorative trees. A Tree of Heaven added plenty of colour in Autumn, a Laburnam flowered nicely in spring and a Spindle Tree had attractive red berries.

but had recently learned that curves were more interesting.
