BEAUTIFUL BORDERS
Summer Magic
Designer : Amanda Sanderson Sponsors or Supporting Companies : Miles Nurseries , Rose Cottage Plants , and Dave Ridley Steel Fabrications . Supporting the charity Combat Stress
Inspired by “ The Magic Roundabout ” and childhood summers playing in fields buzzing with bees and butterflies , the plants were chosen for their scent , wildflower aesthetic , bee-friendly nature and use as cut flowers . Erigeron karvinskianus soften the border ’ s edges ; tree trunk stepping stones lead through an expanse of ox-eye daisies , cosmos and ornamental grass , studded with Macedonian scabious and stately verbascums . The focal point is a carouselshaped support wreathed in clematis and scented honeysuckle , while brightly-coloured roses and dahlias mimic the roundabout ’ s horses .
