Benefits of Shrubs
They may be small in size, but Shrubs help keep the soil in place. Shrubs help with drainage by absorbing yard runoffs and rainfall and also absorb underground moisture. Not only do they help act as a border and give a boundary to your garden, but they are also the perfect pop of color that your Garden needs. They may not be as tall and mighty as trees, but help filter air particles and enhance air quality nonetheless. Shrubs are not a source of shade and act as a natural habitat for wildlife.
