Inspired by English needlework patterns, Knot Gardens originated in the Tudor period. Today they are once again becoming popular as features in ornamental vegetable gardens. Using old gardening methods the low knot garden hedges were formed using individual plants grown and clipped until they had reached the required size.
Today, though, www.boxknot.co.uk have made the process simpler with their Boxknot kits. These kits contain a pattern, there are some great contemporary patterns, hedging plants already grown to size in metre long troughs and all the equipment including a spade and pruners to plant and look after your knot.
Looks great idea for a new look yard that will be reasonably low in maintenance needs and stunning to look at.
