Shrubs and trees are a great backbone of any naturalistic planting, but gardeners can be confused or unsure of their best use.
This session gives you a practical framework for reading your site for trees and shrubs, understanding woody plant behavior, and placing shrubs and trees so your garden builds structure, shines through seasons, and works ecologically from the ground up.
We'll cover:
— Selecting woodies based on site conditions, not just aesthetics
— Layering shrubs and trees into a planting that feels designed, not planted
— Using woodies to anchor seasonal presence and provide long-term structure
— How ecological function shapes selection and why it matters more than most people think
