Brimming with life, hedgerows are a familiar sight throughout the British Isles. The deeply intertwined root systems mean that a variety of trees and shrubs grow together to create a thick, living wall of vegetation, mixing the likes of blackthorn, dog rose, field maple, hazel, bird cherry and hawthorn. Along a hedgerow border, wild flowers can flourish undisturbed, while its hips, haws, berries, nuts and flowers nourish birds, mammals and insects.
