Having prepared the ground, put down the shingle and the stone, now place your plants (and larger stones) in the positions you would like. Take into account:
- Their eventual width and height
- Deciduous or evergreen or a good mixture
- Colour combinations
- Don’t have a ‘currant bun’ effect. Try to plant in groups.
