Garden Shrubs

Shrubs are the building blocks of the garden, providing shape, structure and a natural backdrop for seasonal flowers and foliage - but they’re so much more than that! You can have spectacular flowers all year round, attracting those all important pollinators, or even edible crops. Our shrubs are field grown and raised in the UK, so you won’t find hardier or healthier plants for the British climate.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
