A backyard garden can be a lush oasis, a place to escape. For some, it can also act as a privacy shield; robust and leafy greens can obstruct an outsider's view, ensuring that an outdoor space feels separated from neighbors.
As one of the most famous actresses of our time, Jennifer Aniston is a proponent of the privacy strategy. The Friends star's Bel Air home was designed by Stephen Shadley, who shared an image of her tranquil backyard to his Instagram page. Even for those of us who do not have the celebrity status of Aniston, privacy is a considerable factor when landscaping, and we love how Aniston and Shadley incorporated a mix of textured and voluminous plants in her space.
