Beecroft Nurseries 'Top Ten' hedging plants for your garden ...
We have tried to put together a collection of ideas for evergreen hedges. We aim to grow our ‘Top Ten’ hedging plants on site at Beecroft Nurseries and have stock available in various sizes throughout the year. Don’t forget to enquire about our competitively priced Planting Service if you feel that your project is a little too ambitious to handle yourself.
There are countless hedging plants which could be used but we think this ‘top ten’ list of hedging plants are tried and tested varieties that are relatively easy to establish and are straight forward to maintain for your own garden.
