Creating a Garden to Suit Your Purpose

This is one of the most creative privacy fences devised. The gardener has a very small backyard, no side yard to speak of, and understandably wants some cover from the traffic on this busy street. Rather than close herself in with a hedge or a solid fence, she created a modified design that shields her backyard without cramping her AND gives her more space to garden. She's chosen bright bloomers that distract viewers from looking through the openings in the fence and small trees that will make the garden seem larger as they mature and fill out.
