Decide on some border focal points

Garden borders can end up looking flat and samey, so an easy way to prevent this is to add some features that bring height to the border. A carefully placed obelisk, statue or tree can draw the eye to the border and keep it interesting all year round. Place these features when the border is a blank canvas because it will be difficult once the border is full of plants and it will also add form to the border in year one. Now all that’s left to do is decide on some plants. That’s the really fun bit!
