Conifers

Conifers can provide excellent freestanding features, or work as hedging, and there is a wide range of suitable plants for all uses. With the right advice, and careful plant selection, conifers can be a great asset in most gardens.

They often form the boundary to a garden and provide shelter, privacy or security. Another use is as an ideal windbreak; they filter the wind rather than funnel it. Use conifers to create formal divisions within the garden, or a natural backdrop for other plants. They also provide a useful habitat for birds and other wildlife.
