Topiary is a great way to bring interest into your garden, balcony or window ledge.  It’s also allows you to zone out of the world around you and focus on the shape you are creating from a living plant.

To help you with your first topiary or your 100th, we’ve pulled together all the best articles on from the website and our members annual magazine Topiarius, plus some new guides and information.

Tennis Balls?

Anyone who attended Art in Action 2011 could not fail to be inspired by the wealth of creativity exhibited at the event.  I was privileged to be in the Sculpture section representing the EBTS and duties involved attending lectures and demonstrations given by two of our professional members, Jake Hobson of Niwaki and James Crebbin-Bailey of Topiary Arts.

Topiary Dragon Quest

First my Mum sent me a fuzzy image from her iPad of a dragon sighting in North Norfolk, then Lynda the EBTS Administrator mailed me with a better quality picture asking if I had seen it. Soon it was on the BBC News website and in the Eastern Daily Press, so I felt as I was in North Norfolk I had to track this beast down.
