Plans and plants

[Sundaynightterrors]

Are there any plant companies that do a plan for a flower bed and sell the plants to ho with. I am not looking for a designer or anything bespoke, I just want a rough plan and to be able to buy the plants to make it work. I am looking for a cottage garden feel and would prefer perennials. Thanks.

Crocus do this. And they guarantee their plants for at least a year.

There are some companies that do this, however their planting plans don't necessarily coincide with the particular aspect, climate or soil type in your own garden. The plants supplied are very often surprisingly small when they arrive, and will need growing on for at least a year or two before they put on a decent show. Good for getting ideas from though.

There was an article in the Times this weekend about a company doing that, it’s called Soto Gardens

Sarah Raven does this.
