Definition
A group of shrubs or bushes, especially when planted together for decoration or landscaping.
Etymology
From 'shrub' (from Middle English, possibly from Old English 'screopp'), with the suffix '-ery' meaning 'a collection of' or 'a place where something is grown.' The term became common in English gardening vocabulary during the 1600s-1700s as ornamental landscaping grew popular.
Kelly Says
Medieval monasteries had 'shrubberies' laid out in precise geometric patterns as symbols of order and divine perfection—these weren't just pretty plants, they were religious statements! Today's shrubberies in public parks do something similar psychologically: studies show they reduce stress and improve mental health more than open lawns.
