Why choose native plants?

Biodiversity Enhancement

Native mixed hedges support local wildlife, providing food, shelter, and nesting sites for a variety of birds, insects, and mammals. Enhancing biodiversity creates a balanced ecosystem, promoting the health and resilience of the environment. A rich diversity of species can help control pests and pollinate plants, leading to a more sustainable and thriving land.

Ecological Compatibility

Native plants are well-adapted to the local climate, soil, and environmental conditions, ensuring they thrive with minimal intervention. Choosing plants that are naturally suited to your area reduces the need for additional water, fertilizers, and pesticides, making the hedge more sustainable and easier to maintain.

Pest and Disease Resistance

Native plants have evolved alongside local pests and diseases, often developing natural resistance. This natural resistance reduces the need for chemical treatments, promoting a healthier garden environment and reducing maintenance efforts and costs.

Seasonal Interest and Beauty

A mixed hedge of native plants can provide year-round visual interest with varied textures, colors, and flowering times. Seasonal changes in a mixed hedge offer dynamic beauty, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your garden and providing different focal points throughout the year.

Environmental Impact

Native mixed hedges contribute to soil stabilization, water retention, and air purification, supporting overall environmental health. Improved soil health and water management can prevent erosion, enhance soil fertility, and reduce the impact of droughts. Cleaner air benefits health and well-being.

Benefits of transplanting

Bushier Appearance: Trimming the roots and tops during transplanting results in the growth and development of new branches, making the plant bushier, fuller, and visually more appealing
Stronger Immune System: Forces growth of fibrous lateral roots, increasing the surface area for nutrient and water absorption, leading to healthier growth, improved resilience against environmental conditions, and enhanced defense against diseases
Improved performance: Creates thicker foliage that acts as a protective barrier against strong winds, sunlight, and noise pollution. Benefiting wildlife by providing a more secure shelter with increased food availability.
