Plant your own natural hedge! Gourmet, flowering, birdhouse...
Advice, costs, maintenance... Everything you need to create the hedge of your dreams!
Whether flowering or greedy, hedges structure and beautify space, protect against the wind and provide shelter and food for small local fauna... They are a vital element in maintaining biodiversity in the garden, provided they are ecological! That's because you need to choose species that are adapted to your geo-climatic situation and soil, and know how to plant them, maintain them, limit their development or, on the contrary, give them a boost, repair or replace them... Small or large, in the countryside or in town, hedges of redcurrant, elder, hazel, lilac, cypress... will welcome small mammals, insects and passerines. They provide wood for stakes, poles and dead leaves for mulching, not to mention berries for delicious recipes...
Everything's good in the hedge!
