Why do so few Hedging Plant nurseries who supply directly to garden owners in the UK and so few garden owners in the UK donate the use of their Hedging Plant photos of the flower, foliage, form or seed to this website? Where else can you compare plants by flower colour, foliage colour, form or seed/fruit shape/colour with their soil type, soil moisture, sun aspect and height?

Note the A Frame way of shaping the hedge, which gives sunlight to the whole of the sunlight side and allows for rain to reach all the leaves on the outside of each side.

The entrance to the further garden area of Parnham House in Dorset on 17 May frames the pond and seating area well.

This formal type of gardening leads one's eye to the pond and seat as the focal points. Yew lends itself well to topiary work like the the 2 yew balls on either side of the entrance to the pond area.
