Ornamental Trees

Ornamental trees are a wide-ranging and highly diverse collection of trees, and they are broadly defined as trees that do not have the primary purpose of bearing fruit. In fact, ornamental trees are so wide-ranging that the exact number of species is not known, but it is estimated that there are over 100,000 different species of non-fruiting trees. In fact, there are so many different types of trees that the total number of trees collectively accounts for around a quarter of all plant species. It is thought that trees have existed on the earth for around 370 million years, and that over time they evolved to get their distinctively long trunk to compete for sunlight. Trees have also been a pivotal factor in the survival of humans; not only from their ability to filter our air, but also for their other uses, like for burning for fire wood or for making hunting tools out of. For the average gardener today however, trees are often planted for much more aesthetic reasons. Here, you'll find a wide selection of ornamental trees for sale.

Lavender Plants

Lavender plants are one of the best choices for planting in a sensory garden: the highly recognisable flowers are strongly fragranced and are perfect for luring bees and butterflies to your garden. Another benefit of these delightful shrubs is the fact that they are evergreen – meaning that they will add colour to your garden all year round.

You can plant lavender in many different positions in the garden and they look great lining a path, in a pot or in a sunny border. If you want to keep your lavender plants compact then prune them back in late summer after flowering and cut off about an inch.
