Monty Don is continuing to develop his wildlife garden by planting wildlife-friendly ground cover in dry shade along the base of a hedge. Watch this Gardeners' World guide to discover how to recreate Monty's border in your own garden and pick up handy planting tips. He uses attractive shade-loving plants that offer shelter for wildlife and will suppress weeds as they spread over the soil – English ivy (Hedera helix), periwinkles (Vinca major and Vinca minor 'Atropurpurea'), wood spurge (Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae) and white-flowered hardy geraniums (Geranium macrorrhizum 'Spessart'). He also gets weed-suppressing help from Nigel the dog.
