Beech Hedge and Herbaceous Border At a commanding height of 8m, the Beech Hedge runs along the full length of the 165m-long Herbaceous Border. The hedge was originally planted in 1906 with 200 beech trees (Fagus sylvatica) of heights between 0.3 - 1.5m (1 - 5 ft) Today there are a total of 158 individual trees in the hedge and it takes approximately two weeks for two members of staff to cut the hedge The Herbaceous Border was created in 1902 and over the last 10 years, both the eastern and western sections have been replanted to provide mid to late summer colour through a colour graded planting scheme starting and finishing with purples and blues and going through shades of yellows and reds. #rbgedinburgh #royalbotanicgardenedinburgh #glasshouse #botanicgarden #thebotanics #edinburghbiomes #onthewayscotland #scotland_ig #scottishcity #edinburghbloggers #edinburghphotographer #historicscotland #scotland_greatshots #traveladventures #szkocja #zwiedzamy #ogrodbotaniczny #postcardplaces #passionpassport #hiddenedinburgh #beautifuledinburgh #visitscotland #thisisscotland #unlimitedscotland #unlimitededinburgh #placetolive #simplyscotland #natureinthecity #magicplaces #plantlovers (at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4x5mWcH8fc/?igshid=h0l2dv6ncp3n
