Ground Covers

Groundcovers Offer Soil Erosion and Weed Control Benefits

When planted underneath shrubs, groundcovers stop weeds from spreading. They are perfect for areas with eroding soil and steep hillsides that are difficult to mow or maintain.

 They can be found in any garden, botanical or Nursery garden. The ease of finding them is because they need not be specific about where you plant them, and they will slowly increase in number as long as you keep an eye out for new plants and trees. The easy-to-grow groundcovers are perfect for growing vegetables and fruits. They are also ideal for plants that need space to get big and strong, or those that want drought-tolerant plants.
