Decorative Planting
Still with a woody, permanent framework shrubs and climbers provide impact by adding colour, texture, flowers, fruit & seasonal interest.
In formal gardens these may be block planted roses, hydrangeas or flowering hedges like lavender, against a backdrop of formal structural planting.
In less formal gardens there is greater variety of colour, flower and form. Shrub plantings, roses and climbers, wall & bush fruits may be the decorative elements in a cottage or wilder garden.
