Peter McDermott - Head Gardener
"Hedges can do so much more than define boundaries - they can bring texture, colour, and life to your garden. Hawthorn is native to the UK and is a true all-rounder, offering year-round interest with fragrant white spring blossom, glossy green foliage through summer, and clusters of rich red berries in autumn. It's a haven for wildlife, providing nectar for pollinators and shelter for birds, all while forming a dense, thorny barrier that’s both practical and beautiful. Hardy and fuss-free, one of my favourites!"
