Whats Topiary?
Topiary has been popular since the days of ancient Rome. The earliest literary description of topiary (the art of clipping trees and bushes into geometric or whimsical shapes) comes from the Roman consul Pliny the elder (AD 62-110) writing about his garden in Tuscany. It seems that its immediate popularity was ensured as the gardener who first introduced it to the Romans Cneius Matius, who was a close friend of Julius Caeser and the Emperor Augustus. It is more than likely that the Romans introduced Topiary into Great Britain and it has had a chequered history ever since. Our highly experienced Topiary team can provide a comprehensive seasonal service. If you require a Box or Yew hedge planting scheme then do not hesitate to contact us.
