janietta's back hedge garden

Garden Type: Butterfly | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

This garden replaced a ramshackle fence that was separating our yard from our back neighbors when we moved in. The fence was a 7foot tall privacy fence that had blown down and been propped back up and was missing entire sections.

To maintain that visual privacy element we put in large shrubs alternating with wildflowers, but also put in a pathway to allow children to cross between our yard and theirs.
