Shrubs are mainly used to provide a permanent woody background in your garden, with a range of types to provide year round colour. Flowering shrubs have become great favourites that you can plant at any time of the year.

At Thompsons we grow our own extensive collection of shrubs which includes close to 400 varieties.
