How do shrubs fit into a landscape plan?

Advantages of shrubs in a landscape garden

Ideally used, shrubs serve to define and delineate space in a garden. Shrubs can be the backbone in a mixed border and punctuate its shape. They guide the eye toward what you want highlighted in your garden, and they can guide the feet along the paths you want followed. In a small garden, they can give you the illusion of depth and in open spaces they can form cozy nooks. The effect depends on your imagination and skill with which the shrubs are planted.
