Troublesome border… what troublesome border?
“I asked Alison Penny to help with my dry and shady garden. All the plants I had previously bought just seemed to wither in front of my eyes. I wanted an English country-garden feel, with a contemporary twist. Alison devised a clever planting plan, that made the most of the shady conditions, and organised all the plants. It cost around £2,000 – money well spent, I’d say, after all the cash I’d wasted in garden centres, plus Alison’s tips were invaluable. Six months later, the plants are thriving, and the garden is now a lovely place to sit and relax. Naturally I’m tempted to tell friends that it was all my own work!”
