Need ideas for screening plants for a garden bed

1000009169.jpg

Hello,

I would like some help with species selection for my garden bed 600x1600. It is a sunny courtyard in Sydney and I would like some screening of the fence (preferably fast growing) as well as potentially something small and visually interesting in the front. Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks

Re: Need ideas for screening plants for a garden bed

Hello @julia_g 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about what screening plants to use for a garden bed.

 

For fast growing hedges, I suggest having a look at the list below.

 

  • Viburnum
     
  • Pittosporum
     
  • Camellia
     
  • Lily Pilly
     
  • Photinia
     
  • Magnolia (Little Gem)

 

Here is a link to our best advice: What plants are good for screening?

 

I also suggest having a look at this discussion - What fast growing screening hedge is also livestock friendly? by @cakes287.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
