The privacy hedge is the hedge that protects against prying eyes. This hedge consists of trees and shrubs that form a dense wall of leaves in summer. In particular, two-row hedges provide a certain degree of privacy protection, which is usually completely sufficient for this time of year, thanks to the dense branching. The privacy hedge can also be supplemented with evergreen shrubs in places that are very visible.

Low hedges are made particularly with such hedge species as are suitable for small spaces where limited growth is important. These are mostly shrubs growing up to 0.5 – 1.5 m. The tallest plants in these hedges grow up to approximately 2 m.

These hedges do a lot of good for pollinator insects: they supply bees, butterflies and other insects with food and optimal habitat conditions. If you attract pollinators to your garden or public space, you get more success in producing fruits and vegetables, since pollination is an indispensable natural process man cannot artificially replace.

Hedges planted for scent please all the senses. Children and adults alike enjoy smelling the blooms or pick and crush the fragrant leaves, as they can have a pleasant scent tool. The natural scents please the senses and are instant mood-lifters. Choosing this hedge will fill your garden with specific scents all year round, from the leaves, blooms or fruits.

Hedges for kindergartens, school gardens and playgrounds have many important functions to fulfil. They create smaller spaces in the gardens and act as natural separation elements. They can also serve as natural enclosures for the enhanced safety of small children. Hedges in kindergartens and school gardens should be planted in multiple rows, because children love the “caves” and hiding places in such hedges for play. These hedges should be planted only with non-poisonous species, which can also contain fruits or other parts for harvesting and use in various crafts.

By planting a varied hedge consisting of different indigenous species, you are supporting the local wildlife, as the hedge will only contain native trees and shrubs. These woody plants and the corresponding wildlife species are well adapted to each other. A diversity hedge is characterised by a variety of different feeding opportunities for wildlife; it is also attractive and colourful, and will serve as a good privacy screen – all in a single hedge. Diversity hedges are ideal as wild-growing hedges or niche hedges. If they get enough space and opportunity to develop their natural habitus, they will attract many different animals and insects and become a very special element in your garden.
