Where is the border, along drive, next to house, under bright sun, part shade, full shade? are you wanting to mix up every year (annuals), or want to come back every year(perennials). Take some graph paper and layout your desired shape, then go to the magazine rack and look at garden books, sit down and look at the pictures to find desired effect, If you want to do Perennials, check with your >>> local![Diana Brewer]()

Alyssium is great and it has a delightful scent to it and comes in pink, white or deep purple or a light purple. Its great and very attractive as a border.![Nancy Turner]()

I used the small three quarter moon shaped bricks around my yardlight post so I could plant around it. They worked well, but grass does tend to grow up between them. I either pull them or the dog we take out front with us sometimes eats them as part of her salad that she enjoys. Bricks are probably the easiest to care for since they won't deteriorate over time, and other than being heavy, you can move them to change the shape or size of the garden easier.Sign Up to Answer
