Topiary plants are fashionable and bring a design air to all types of exteriors. Why not adopt them for your garden decoration? Topiary art consists of growing and pruning outdoor plants in order to create different forms and decorative sculptures.

Among these are geometric shapes such as pyramids but also animals, humans and different kinds of objects. One of the great benefits of topiary gardens is the fact that they are impressive during all times of the year, including winter.

Topiary art has its origins in ancient times. The ancient Romans liked the interesting aspect of the green plants that they fashioned in animals and obelisks. In Asia, the Chinese and the Japanese also practiced this art which is, today, one of the characteristic features of gardens with zen-style decoration. If you love gardening, you can transform your outdoors with topiary art without spending money on expensive equipment. The usual instruments that you already use for the maintenance of your garden will also be used to shape the plants and to give them different shapes.
