The correct answer is: Border planting

The term for a planting of a group of plants located along the perimeter of a landscape area is commonly referred to as "border planting." This practice is used to define and outline the boundaries of a garden or landscape space. Border plantings can enhance visual interest, create a sense of enclosure, and serve as a transition between different areas of a landscape. By utilizing a variety of plants with different heights, textures, and colors, border plantings can provide both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, such as privacy or protection from wind. These characteristics make border planting an essential element in landscape design.
