Blackthorn: The Sturdy Protector

- Biodiversity Booster: Blackthorn blossoms attract a myriad of pollinators, while its sloes (berries) are a vital food source for wildlife during autumn.
Field Maple: The Autumnal Showstopper
- Visual Appeal: With its vibrant autumn foliage, Field Maple adds a splash of seasonal color to the hedge. Its small leaves create a neat, compact appearance.
- Environmental Support: It’s an excellent host for moths and butterflies, adding to the hedge’s biodiversity.
Dog Rose: The Delicate Beauty
- Charm and Fragrance: Dog Rose brings a touch of elegance with its delicate, fragrant flowers.
