Landscaping with evergreens is a clever way to ensure your yard is full of greenery at all times of the year. While evergreens may not be as exciting as colorful perennials that act like fireworks during spring and summer, they are important structural plants that are versatile and adaptable.
As a former professional gardener, I have planted, grown and cared for many evergreen shrubs. If you are planning a new garden or adding to an existing design, I know that using evergreens can transform outside spaces. Think lime green pittosporum domes surrounded by ornamental grasses, or dark green yew hedging as a backdrop to frame a front yard.
