Natural (feeding) hedges as flowered areas

How about a little shrub hedge with berries, such as currants or raspberries, combined with local native woods such as elder, goat willow, and damson plum? Under the shrubs, groundcover strawberries would be a perfect addition. Help bring back wild shrubs into the city and enjoy the abundant flowers and nectar in the spring, and the fruit and vitamins in the summer and autumn!

Tip: You would like to have a wild shrub, but your garden is too small? Plant climbing plants on your fence or up a wooden wall. Ivy or Italian woodbine are well suited for this purpose.
