Sometimes privacy planting is a necessary evil, and sometimes, it's a design-led feature of an outdoor space. Eva Gabor's backyard falls firmly into the second camp.
Archival images of the actress's garden idea from 1981 show privacy planting that is alive with beauty. Tall, narrow trees stretch up her white walls, enclosing the space in cocooning safety. Rose bushes and other tiny plants dot the garden, separated by pretty wrought iron edging that centers on a stone path. A concrete statue adds a sense of history and height to the space. Overall, the design promotes functionality, but sings with style.
