Hedgerows Don't build a fence. Grow one

摘要

Wood or metal fences, a monotonous row of arbor-vitae, or bamboo on the loose—those landscape options are overused solutions to surrounding or dividing a property. Think beyond them to a hedgerow that will provide life, color, and interest throughout the year. A mixed hedgerow of deciduous and evergreen plants not only does the job that a fence or monoculture hedge does, but also helps the city, suburban, or country garden reconnect to a slightly wilder and wildly enjoyable side of nature.
