Description

One of the first things you want to start with when making or improving a garden is the ground-cover. It sounds dull and is so easily overlooked, but I promise you, bare soil is the enemy when developing a planting scheme. You want these plants to grow quickly and supress unwanted weeds and break up the more glamourous plants giving everything space to breath. Whether you have shade or sun, dry or damp, there is something here for all.
