The border is inspired by the idea of activating brain waves with multi-sensory experiences. The border is composed into ripples or waves through the height and layout of the plants. The plants have been chosen based on their sensory contributions, through foliage, touch, scent, sound and year-round interest.
When flowering, the planting produces a gradual change in colour from red to blue along the length of the border, with yellow scattered throughout.
Key plants in the border
Populus tremula (aspen), Geranium renardii (Renard cranesbill), Aloysia citrodora AGM (lemon verbena), Briza maxima (greater quaking grass) and Nepeta hederacea ‘Variegata’.
