shrubs

Upland heathland is characterised by the presence of low-growing shrubs, such as heather.

Monkey flowers in orange and red, scarlet bugler, purple and white sages and coffeeberry shrubs are coming into their own.

Beyond the vegetable beds is a planting area of native shrubs and grasses to provide additional habitat and permeable surface to collect rainwater.

After the seeds have a chance to grow and energize the soil, the mature native shrubs and perennials will be planted, probably in mid-May, Rock said.

These tours are all about gardens, works of art that mesh unusual flowers, shrubs and trees into elaborate quilts of fragrance, comfort and color.
