* Take a cumulative approach over time. Glover’s borders tend to be more spontaneous than planned—they just grow year after year, as plants multiply. Style-wise, she says, “it’s like an old-fashioned English cottage garden,” but with a distinctive PEI flavour.
* Keep contours soft. “I don’t believe in straight lines and I like variety—it encourages the eye to move along.”
* Stand back and gauge from a distance what is needed. Glover makes many of her design decisions from her upstairs windows. “I look for a balance of colour and texture. If I don’t see any white in an area, I’ll throw in some clumps.”
**Rudbeckias (both perennial and annual) are favourites.**
