Build Your Dream Garden Border

Getting what you want from your garden needn't be so difficult and complicated. Let me guide you!

Learn how to assess, design, and edit your garden borders so you can create, or transform, your space into the border of your dreams.


Rosy guides you through every step. From the often-overlooked art of assessing your space, to simplifying design of the new border, plant selection, and the essential skill of editing an existing border.


You’ll discover how Rosy “paints with plants,” combining form, shape, and colour to create stunning, cohesive borders.


This course focuses on practical, achievable techniques for herbaceous and mixed borders. The focus is on soft landscaping and planting.
