Shrubs

The function of shrubs and bushes in the garden

Shrubs and shrubs are invaluable in designing a harmonious and attractive garden. They form the backbone of the garden landscape and create height, depth and privacy. These plants often act as a backdrop for flower beds, adding volume and texture to the whole. In addition, they provide a shelter for birds and other animals, which contributes to the biodiversity in your garden.

Why shrubs and bushes are useful in the garden

Shrubs and shrubs are particularly useful for several reasons:

• Structure: They help divide the garden into different zones and give a clear division to your outdoor space.
• Privacy: Shrubs and bushes serve as a natural screen to shield the garden from prying eyes and disturbing noises.
• Wind protection: They act as a buffer against strong winds, protecting other plants and flowers.
• Flowering and color: Many shrubs and shrubs offer beautiful flowers and colors, keeping your garden visually appealing all year round.

Common types of shrubs and bushes

• Forsythia (Forsythia intermedia): Forsythia is a popular shrub for its showy yellow flowers in early spring. It is a great plant to add a colorful touch to your garden, especially when other plants are still hibernating.
• Rhododendron: This evergreen shrub offers beautiful flowers in various colors and is ideal for shady areas in the garden.
• Lavender (Lavandula): A beloved shrub for its fragrant purple flowers and gray-green leaves.
