'primarily horticultural border?' is the definition.
'hedge' can be an answer for 'border?' (I have seen 'Border of vegetation ' mean 'hedge' so perhaps 'border' could also mean 'hedge'). I'm unsure of the 'primarily horticultural' bit.

'primarily horticultural border?' is the wordplay.
'primarily' suggests taking the first letters.
'border?' becomes 'edge' ('edge' can be a synonym of 'border').
The first letter of 'horticultural' is 'h'.
'h'+'edge'='HEDGE'
