Benefits of Planting Shrubs
- Vertical Interest: Shrubs provide essential height variation in garden design, complementing lower-growing plants and adding visual depth to the landscape.
- Ecosystem Support: By offering food, shelter, and nesting sites, shrubs foster biodiversity, attracting birds, insects, and other wildlife that contribute to a healthy ecosystem.
- Soil Conservation: The root systems of shrubs help prevent soil erosion, stabilize slopes, and improve soil structure, safeguarding precious topsoil and water quality.
- Low Maintenance: Once established, most shrubs need little care. Yearly feeding, watering, and pruning vary by variety so be sure to check the tags of your specific shrub.
