Shrubbery
A shrubbery is a wide border to a garden where shrubs are thickly planted, or a similar larger area with a path winding through it. A singular shrub is also known as a bush.
==Characteristics==
A shrubbery was a feature of 19th-century gardens in the English manner, with its origins in the gardenesque style〔John Warfield Simpson, ''Visions of Paradise: Glimpses of Our Landscape's Legacy'' 1999:297.〕 of the early part of the century. A shrubbery〔Elizabeth Kent, ''Sylvan Sketches Or A Companion To The Park And The Shrubbery With Illustrations From The Works Of The Poets'', (London) 1831.〕 was a collection of hardy shrubs, quite distinct from a flower garden, which was a cutting garden to supply flowers in the house. The shrubbery was arranged as a walk, ideally a winding one, that made a circuit that brought the walker back to the terrace of the house. Its paths were gravel, so that they dried quickly after a rain. A walk in the shrubbery offered a chance for a private conversation, and a winding walk among shrubs surrounding even quite a small lawn was a feature of the garden behind a well-furnished Regency suburban villa.
"Mr Rushworth," said Lady Bertram, "if I were you, I would have a very pretty shrubbery. One likes to get out into a shrubbery in fine weather." —Jane Austen, ''Mansfield Park'' (1814).
