Hedging and Shrubs

Hedges are useful elements in designing a garden, defining boundaries and edges, as well as providing visual screens and shelter. Hedges are also useful in combination with deciduous plants, where they provide a sense of permanence during the winter dormant period. The varieties below have been chosen for their compact growth, ease of trimming, and hardiness.
