The two narrow borders in front of the property had become completely swamped with astrantias and geraniums; there was no structure and no year round interest.

The borders were completely cleared apart from two pretty white roses at either side of the main gate.  The new planting included box balls to add structure mixed with white astrantias and pale pink monarda at the back of the border for interest throughout the summer followed by dark pink phlox for late summer colour.

The borders were edged with alchemilla mollis and purple evergreen geranium.
