Shrubs and Groundcovers
Shrubs and groundcovers are essential foundation plants that provide structure, texture, and year-round interest while solving practical landscape challenges from erosion control to weed suppression. This diverse category ranges from compact groundcovers just inches tall to substantial shrubs reaching 10-15 feet, offering options for every garden layer and design need. Shrubs create permanent bones in the landscape, defining spaces, providing privacy screening, and offering habitat for wildlife while requiring far less maintenance than perennial borders or annual plantings.
Groundcovers carpet the soil with attractive foliage and flowers, suppressing weeds, preventing erosion on slopes, and creating living mulch that reduces water needs and maintenance. Many species offer multi-season interest with spring blooms, summer foliage, fall colors, and attractive winter forms or evergreen structure. This collection includes both ornamental varieties for beauty and habitat value alongside edible species that provide fruits, nuts, or other harvests while fulfilling landscape functions. Adaptable to various light conditions from full sun to deep shade and diverse soil types, shrubs and groundcovers suit nearly every garden situation.
"Besides the benefits of food, shade, wood, and clean air, planting trees is an affirmation of the future, a gift to our children and those to come."
