Les bordures [...] Faites de plantes ornementales, elles délimitent heureusement les massifs, les plates-bandes, accompagnent et soulignent le tracé de certains sentiers et allées.

OBS

Il y a actuellement, entre les plantes dites ornementales et celles qui ont pour principal mérite d'être comestibles, une frontière logique et raisonnable, mais peut-être trop rigide et trop définitive dans l'esprit de l'amateur de jardin.
