What’s Inside a Garden on a Roll Box?
Step 1: Prepare Your Soil
Before planting, clear weeds and loosen the soil.
Improving soil structure helps roots establish more easily and allows water and nutrients to move freely.
If you’re unsure where to start, read our guide on How to Prepare Soil Before Planting a Garden Border.
Step 2: Roll Out the Template
Lay your Garden on a Roll template flat across your border.
This shows you exactly where each plant should go, removing the need to measure spacing or design layouts.
Step 3: Match Your Plants
Each plant is labelled with a letter and number.
Simply match each plant to the corresponding position on the roll.
This ensures a balanced, professionally designed border.
Step 4: Plant and Water
Dig holes through the template, place your plants, and water thoroughly.
Deep watering helps roots settle and encourages strong growth.
Step 5: Care for Your Border
Once planted, ongoing care is key.
A simple routine of soil improvement, feeding, and protection will help your plants thrive.
Everything you need can be found in the
The Border Care Bundle.
