Which term describes a narrow planting bed along the edge of a garden or walkway?

• A. A raised bed that is not surrounded by a wall
• B. A type of fertilizer
• C. A narrow planting bed along the edge of a garden or walkway
• D. A pruning technique

Answer: (C)

A narrow planting bed that runs along the edge of a garden or walkway is a border. This feature creates a defined edge, separating lawn or hardscape from planting beds, and it’s typically kept slim so it provides a clean line without crowding pathways. The description matches exactly that edge-bed concept, making it the best choice for naming the feature. The other options point to a raised bed (a different structure), a fertilizer (not a bed), or a pruning technique (a maintenance method), which are not the edge planting bed described here.
