Looking for colour, shape and flowers in your garden? Creating a shrubbery is one way of achieving an interesting garden. You can pick shrubs that provide interest all year round, or go for ones that flower in different months and seasons. Don’t forget that some shrubs produce plenty of berrys for winter colour as well as providing food for the birds. You can use shrubs within hedges or in a bed on their own to create colour and interest in your garden. There are shrubs for all areas in the garden from shade to full sun.
As with any long term planting soil preparation is key to success. Dig deep, dig well and enrich the soil.
Mulch to prevent weeds and water plants regularly whilst they settle in.
