Coastal Garden Plants

Gardening by the sea has its challenges - salt air, strong winds and sandy soil - but choose the right plants for your coastal garden and you can create something really special. With shrubs, trees and perennials that not only withstand coastal conditions but thrive in them, your seaside garden will become a natural haven for wildlife and a beautifully integrated part of the landscape.
