During my time working as a professional gardener, I have trimmed and shaped more shrubs and trees than I care to count. From towering copper beech domes to neatly clipped lollipop yews, I have always been a fan of the way topiary can elevate a garden. Blobberies might sound odd, and yes, the name is a little unusual, but these groups and clusters of trimmed, rounded evergreens are a classic go-to feature for many world-famous designers, and it is easy to see why.
Blobberies are about taking classic topiary and giving it a more playful, organic twist. Instead of flat hedges or rigid cones in isolation, think rolling green mounds, like moss-covered boulders lifted from a woodland landscape, but in bigger form.
