Why “Midstorey”?

A garden grows in layers, or storeys: groundcovers at your feet, the tree canopy overhead, and in between, the midstorey. It's the layer of shrubs and smaller plants where most garden favourites live and where small birds feed and shelter. It's also the layer most often missing from city gardens and parks.

We'd like to help put it back, one garden at a time.
