I’m always drawn to the idea of creating sanctuaries in gardens. Secluded retreats, where you can escape for five minutes with a book and a coffee. Privacy matters in gardens, whether you’ve got a sprawling plot or a tiny balcony. And, the good news? Privacy screens and boundaries don’t have to be dull or boring.
So often, people throw up a fence or a row of evergreen shrubs, tick the privacy box, and move on. But these are not the only options. There is an opportunity here to incorporate some of the best fragrant privacy plants that not only incorporate seclusion but also add a sensory dimension, too.
