Privacy is the ultimate luxury for celebrity gardens, transforming a residence into a quiet sanctuary far from the glare of public life. High-profile figures require their homes to be both secure and aesthetically pleasing, a balance famously achieved at Mick Jagger’s upstate retreat.
Looking back at archival images of the Rolling Stones frontman’s estate, we can see a masterclass in how to plant for privacy. His stone house is enveloped by multi-layered greenery, ranging from lush ground covers to waist-high shrubs and towering deciduous trees, creating a secluded haven that feels particularly vibrant as we move into the 2026 spring growing season.
