A beautiful garden doesn't have to consist of dozens of different plants. Sometimes a few well-chosen shrubs can create structure, color, and the effect of a mature garden for many years to come.

In this video, I show seven shrubs that can become the foundation of an entire composition: Japanese spirea, Meyer's lilac, bladderwort, white dogwood, chokeberry, posy hydrangea, and yew.

You'll learn which shrubs provide leaf color, which look best in autumn or winter, and how to combine several species to create a cohesive garden instead of a random one.
