SHRUBS PLAY MANY ROLES IN THE GARDEN, BE IT TO CREATE STRUCTURE, COLOUR, TEXTURE AND INTEREST. MANY ARE STUNNING FOR TWO OR THREE WEEKS THEN FADE INTO THE BACKGROUND. SHRUBS JUST DON’T PRODUCE SPECTACULAR FLOWERS FOR A LIMITED TIME, MANY OFFER OTHER FEATURES SUCH AS FRUIT PRODUCTION TO ATTRACT WILDLIFE, BRILLIANT FALL COLOURS, ATTRACTIVE BARK OR UNUSUAL TRUNK OR BRANCHING FORMATIONS. IF WELL CHOSEN, THEY CAN MAKE A LARGE AND EXCITING STATEMENT IN YOUR LANDSCAPE. JOIN US AS MARY REID FROM GREEN THUMB GARDEN CENTRE TALKS ABOUT THE BEST SHRUBS TO ACHIEVE A MULTI-SEASON EXCITING GARDEN.
