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.

Roots' Cotswolds Valley Nursery

Meet Cameron

Putting shrubs in the starlight (and boy do they shine…)

Cameron is mad about plants, which is lucky, really, because he’s absolutely surrounded by them here at the nursery. Having studied at the Student Plant Unit at Pershore College, Cameron went on to compete at the Grand Finals for the 2022 Horticulturist of the Year Awards. With a team of dedicated growers on hand to help, Cameron utilises our industry-leading nursery (and the lovely, fertile conditions of the Cotswolds) to grow shrubs that aren’t just good-looking, they’re good-growing too.

Happy plants make happy customers
