 [BBC Gardeners' World Live 2024](https://gardensdb.com/shows/bbc-gardeners-world-live-2024) - Beautiful Borders

The Then & Now
==================

 Border

 Immerse yourself in ‘The Then & Now’ with this contemporary urban social space with textures, smells, and playful modular structures. This design signifies the journey through our changing climate and introduces a cohesion of traditional & modern planting and self-forming, quarry dust paths which lead you through the planted boarders to create a covered gravel garden. Sustainable, biodiverse friendly and introducing a new approach to low maintenance planting with a modern twist. Scattered, contrasting, burnt timber structures eventually group into a moulded bench signifying our climates harsh reality.
