Topiary: The art of trimming and shaping plants into ornamental forms, such as animals, geometric shapes, or abstract designs.
Think of the topiary as a plant sculpture, like giving your garden a haircut and a makeover. It transforms ordinary shrubs and trees into living works of art. Imagine a boxwood trimmed into a perfect sphere or a yew shaped into a whimsical animal.
A topiary can add a touch of whimsy, elegance, or formality in a home garden, depending on the chosen shapes and plants. It’s often used to create focal points, define garden spaces, or add a playful element to the landscape. You can use a variety of plants for topiary, including boxwood, yew, privet, and even rosemary. It requires patience, skill, and a good pair of shears.
Topiary is a way to express your creativity and add a unique, personal touch to your garden. It’s like turning your plants into living sculptures, a testament to your gardening artistry.
