Shrubberies and small trees
We are going to tell you how to plant what’s called a “mixed border” in which small flowering trees and bushes join flowers in a planting that can look pleasant all season.
This style is appropriate for today’s smaller ownerships, which don’t have much space for separate beds of shrubberies and flowers - yet another reason not to limit width of your beds. Planting of trees and shrubberies is the easiest way to create all-season color and variety. And if you choose heedfully, they can be among your easiest in care plants.
A garden overloaded with various plants in different separate areas tends to look littery and need something to pull it all together. Garden designers recommend planting all except some of the largest stand-alone or specimen plants in casual-numbered groups of three or five. But all depends on available space; this is also a good idea for shrubberies, which also may be of various sizes and function.
