If you want to define some space in yourgarden, then you can do so with the use of garden borders. Borderscan be used to separate grass from walks and for other types oflandscape edging and they can also be used to create garden beds.The borders add both depth and texture to the garden, and enhancethe aesthetic appeal.

Garden beds create a small controlled space, making it the idealplace to grow edibles like fruits and herbs, or to plantperennials. The borders are usually used for a garden bed that isplaced at a higher level than the area immediately surrounding it.They are an important component of raised garden beds, as they formthe frame in which the soil for the bed is placed. In addition,they assist in keeping the soil in the bed intact, and inpreventing erosion. Because there is no erosion, the nutrientsremain in the beds, and this causes the plants to flourish andthrive.

The garden borders also play another very important role, asthey help to stop the spread of grass roots, so that the grass doesnot invade your garden bed. In addition, planting in the raisedbeds makes tending to them a lot easier, and the better drainageencourages the growth of the plants, thereby ensuring a betteryield. It's the perfect solution to a soggy garden.

Garden borders offer a great deal of versatility when setting upyour garden, as they are available in a range of styles and shapes.These edges can make your garden look a lot more attractive, as itis possible to create a circle, square, or rectangular design withthe borders. Also, you may opt to make the border end freely, andthen create an undulating design.

Border garden beds are wonderful additions to your landscapewhen you want to highlight an edge, such as a driveway, fence,walkway, front porch, or patio. They can be used to delineatevisual boundaries or create physical compartments in yourlandscape. When it comes to highlighting permanent features, suchas a trellis or gazebo, or dividing spaces in your yard orvegetable garden, border gardens are just the thing. As they oftenfollow an edge, they are usually rectangular in shape, but can alsobe designed to include gentle curves for less formal gardens.

Most gardeners plant taller annuals and perennials to the backof these beds, placing shorter items towards the front. Border bedscan be created to spotlight long seasons of bloom on a continuum orfocused around a one-season spectacular show. If you opt for theone-season showcase, be sure to plan the rest of your landscapingto balance out the seasons during which your border bed liesfallow.

Nearby shrubs, ground cover, and ornamental grasses can helpyour yard to that regard and can offer visual interest and textureyear-round. I prefer to choose interesting foliage, such as hostasand alumroots, and long-lasting blooms like coreopsis.
