Many more stories about the history of shrubs could be told. Sadly, many of their histories have been obscured by the commonality of the plant in present day. An ordinary shrub today could have helped feed or medicate thousands in the past, but the story wasn’t documented. Our botanic gardens and arboreta are extremely important as the record keepers of plant expeditions, discoveries, and new variations in species. Pressed plants or herbarium specimens from the original plants discovered are also housed in botanic gardens and become a huge database for research. They keep these valuable plants in front of the public’s eyes. The next time you are looking at a plant in a garden center, nursery, or big-box store, think about how that plant may have gotten into your hands. It may have been propagated for generations, and someone long before us may have protected it from extinction.

In addition to standardized plant nomenclature, the science of morphology was developed to categorize and describe plants based on their form and structure. The morphology of a plant refers to the organization, arrangement, and design of its various parts. It’s extremely useful when you’re trying to identify a particular shrub or when comparing one plant to another. The aspects of plant morphology that tend to be most useful to gardeners are the vegetative and reproductive structures of a plant. The vegetative structures include the stem, bud, and leaves, while the reproductive structures include the flowers, fruits, seeds, or cones, depending on the plant. Let’s start by looking at flowers and how their design and arrangement can help you identify a particular shrub.

The distinction between hedgerows and hedges is important: Hedgerows are wild, natural borders, whereas hedges are purposefully planted boundaries. Later, as time went on, hedges took on other functions, including the one we most recognize today: ornament. Built at the height of hedging use in Europe, the sixteenth-century gardens at Hampton Court in London represent the acme of the hedge experience. Hedges were used to make outdoor garden rooms, the famous giant labyrinth, and knot gardens. Hedges became part of entertainment and relaxation for royalty and the wealthy landowners. Hedges became building-like, creating rooms and walls that were extensions of the internal structures. In the photo at right, the tea house wall is the same line as the hedge, forming a seamless movement from one structure to the other. With doors open, one could be inside out and outside in. The tea house is part of the garden, not just in the garden.
