Shrubs
This category consists of a wide variety of woody plants that are absolutely essential to any landscape, and give definition to the term 'foundation planting', which can mean two things. Either it is creating a foundation to set the tone for the rest of the landscape, or intended to cover the foundation of the building they are in front of. Quite a few of these plants are flowering, several are quite fragrant, some are brilliantly colored, some resemble green meatballs, some grow straight up, some are practically flat, and yet others are hard to find gems that you may not have expected. And if you can't find what you're looking for, be sure to ask if we can get it for you.
