When deciding how to best design the landscape for your yard or garden, a good place to start is with evergreen shrubs. When selected correctly for your USDA Hardiness Zone and for your space, these shrubs will provide a framework, allowing you to create welcoming spaces in one area, hide unsightly utility boxes or pipes in another, and otherwise define the space.
More importantly, these shrubs invite beneficial wildlife to your yard. "Evergreens are one of the best ways to support wildlife in your landscape or garden, particularly birds, by providing winter shelter and coverage," says Natalie Carmolli, public relations specialist for Proven Winners ColorChoice Shrubs . "They create a solid framework for deciduous and semi-evergreen plants, and add to a balanced garden design."
