More About Trees and Shrubs

Selecting the Right Trees and Shrubs for Your Garden

Consider what role you want your plants to fulfil. Evergreen trees and shrubs provide structure all year long. If you're after colour, Flowering Cherries, Magnolias, and Fuchsias bloom seasonally, while ornamental grasses can help tie different areas of your garden together, create clean, attractive lines to separate your kitchen garden from your flowering beds, or define a border.

If you'd like to boost the fragrance of your garden, think about Daphne, Lavender, or Lilac plants, which offer both lovely scents and soft colours. For a garden that attracts pollinators, shrubs like Buddleia and Rhododendron are fantastic choices, drawing in bees and butterflies from spring through late summer.

In larger gardens, you can showcase feature trees like the Italian Cypress, but even if you're short on space, there are patio-friendly varieties and compact shrubs that thrive in containers. Most of these plants are adaptable to a variety of soil types and light conditions, making them a reliable option for newer gardeners.
