garden border

Planting area perimeter

A garden border is a strip of cultivated ground along the edge of a lawn, path, or wall, typically planted with flowers or shrubs.

The term emphasizes placement rather than content—borders frame and define garden spaces: She planted lavender along the garden border.

Border can also mean the edging material itself: stones, bricks, or wood that separates plantings from lawn.
