Herbaceous border at the botanic gardens

Rudbeckia spp.

Crocosmia spp.

The #herbaceousborder @thebotanics.bsky.social is still looking splendid just now - 165m long, designed in 1902 by the Regius Keeper Isaac Bailey Balfour and a rainbow spectrum of colour and structure.

Wheelbarrows full of end of season pulls and deadheading. The Blue Border at Parham House, West Sussex is still looking spectacular. #parhamhouse #ukgardening #ukhorticulture #gardenvolunteer #herbaceousborder
