Blur your garden boundaries

Tall hedges or banks of greenery are ideal for concealing unsightly boundaries in your garden, and provide a pretty backdrop for an alfresco dining area. This green partition is simple and elegant and forms an intimate seating alcove.

Get the look: For an alternative to hedges, try long stems of garden bamboo or fast-growing plants, such as climbers and vines.

Try Mobilane for a living green screen, and Garden Beet for a metal trellis.
