Privacy is something we may all crave in our backyards, but arguably, nobody understands the significance of a protected space like Nicole Kidman. With her career comes the inevitable desire for a yard that is as secluded as it is serene – but to achieve this, the Big Little Lies actress has turned to a planting technique that is replicable in yards of all sizes.
In the fourth photo on the carousel below, Kidman exhibits a boxwood plant (also known as Common Boxwood or Buxus sempervirens), a glossy evergreen that's a favorite among those looking for the best plants for privacy. Above the boxwood, she opted for (what appears to be) a Ficus Nitida – Ficus' Indian Laurel' – which is similarly popular in Los Angeles and Southern California as a privacy hedge.
