Hedgerows are the unsung heroes of the British landscape, bursting with life and folklore. Time to pick your favourite leafy local.
Put the items in your preferred order.

Hawthorn
Covered in frothy white flowers each spring, hawthorn is the hedgerow's showstopper and steeped in old English superstition. Bring it indoors at your peril.

Blackthorn
Spiky, moody, and responsible for every decent bottle of sloe gin in the country. A proper British hedgerow legend.

Dog Rose
Soft pink petals scrambling through the hedge like it's auditioning for a Jane Austen adaptation. Produces rosehips loved by birds and jam-makers alike.

Elder
Creamy flowers in June become inky berries by autumn, fuelling a nation's obsession with elderflower cordial. Folklore says you should always ask before pruning it.

Bramble
Yes, it snags your jumper, but come late summer it gifts us free blackberries for crumbles and pies. A national treasure with an attitude.
