How to measure your planting area

Most gardens are simple rectangles, so measuring is as easy as multiplying the length by the depth. Use the diagram below as a guide.

Rectangular spaces

Measure the length x depth in metres.

Longer? Here's how to measure

If your border is longer than one roll, simply combine two or more border lengths to cover the full area.

FAQs

Keen to dig deeper into everything that Garden on a Roll has to offer? Take a look at our FAQs for a better understanding of how we roll. 

Planting Garden on a Roll’s sunny borders couldn’t be simpler.  

Your sunny border delivery will arrive with an easy-to-follow template that you can roll out across your border. Next, you’ll need to place each plant on its matching circle before burying them in your border. Once in the ground, cover your plants with compost or mulch before watering to help them establish. 

A sunny border should be made up of sun-loving perennials and structural shrubs. Perennials like Agapanthus and Geranium deliver on visual interest, while shrubs like Lavender and Santolina deliver on structure and abundance.

If your garden is on the shadier side, we’d recommend investing in one of our shady border planting plans. Plants for sunny borders require at least 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight; otherwise, they may experience reduced flowering, leggier growth, and less impressive blooms.
