A green yard fence

Instead of a wooden fence in the garden, you can choose a green yard fence with a hedge or shrub. This not only creates a greener look, but also contributes to a cooler garden and to the biodiversity of your surroundings. For example, a hedge is a fine hiding place for birds in the garden and insects find food there. Examples of hedges in the garden include boxwood, hornbeam, cherry laurel, hawthorn, hedera, privet, conifers and bush honeysuckle. Hedera, or ivy, is a plant that grows up against something. The best is an all-natural yard fence, but this can be a solution if you still like to install a fence or fence.

Hedges and shrubs are cheaper to purchase than fences.
