Fruit Bushes
There is nothing better than enjoying the taste of your very own, home grown fruit and veg, tasting far better than anything you'll find on the supermarket shelves. Fruit plants are surprising easy to grow and incredibly rewarding come harvest time. Soft fruit bushes can be grown in the border, a container, grow bag or even a hanging basket in some cases. Some of the easiest to grow are strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries.
