Replanting Church Wall Flowerbed

As part of the plan to increase the sustainability of the village I have been asked to design a new planting scheme for the flower bed in front of the church wall. The design will increase the biodiversity of the area, utilise native plants grown by a local flower farm and be a wonderful focal point for the village. I propose a mix of bulbs and perennial plants that are attractive to a wide variety of birds, bees and bugs. I have also chosen the plants to extend the flowering period for as long as possible with the added benefit of architectural seed heads. Dog Wood will be used to
add structure and height and also be visually striking in the winter months. The overall effect would be a naturalistic verge or hedge-bottom with drifts and clumps of plants rather than a formal placement.
