Incredibly helpful title! I am learning more and more about shrubs and how to incorporate them into my own landscape. This has been an invaluable resource for me. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about shrubs in general (the science, and the care of) and then using it has a fundamental basis before looking for natives in your country.
