The Borrowed Border
===================

 Border

*The Borrowed Border* is a story‑led border inspired by the magical, hidden worlds of Mary Norton's *The Borrowers*. It captures the feeling of childhood, when a tiny patch of earth felt full of possibility. The space is designed for visitors to slow down, explore and enjoy moments of quiet connection. A companion bench sits within layered planting that creates a sense of shelter and intimacy. As you move through the border, the details reveal themselves gently, inviting curiosity and rewarding anyone who takes the time to look closely. The border shows how even a small space can become meaningful, imaginative and restorative.
