Design and planting
The Sun borders are an example of planting in sunny spots. Bright colours were mostly used here. On both sides are two different hedges: the shorter evergreen, Taxus and the higher deciduous Hornbeam hedge (Carpinus betulus). In the Hornbeam hedge two holes have been cut out so that the adjoining garden can be seen.
History
The Sun loving borders were planted at the beginning of the sixties when this part of the garden was connected with the existing garden. Since then very little has changed in the design. The path in between the borders was originally grass but later changed to paving stones. There has been a change in the choice of sun loving plants over the years.
