Gardening: Create a privacy screen without the hassle of building

Screening trees are invaluable as they can create a high screen in your garden that is taller than a hedge and wall, and creates privacy. They are ideal for screening a new house or extension, too. A wall or fence cannot be any higher than two metres tall, or you have to apply for planning permission, but there is no maximum height for a tree.
If you pick the right tree you aren’t going to have a problem with light and sun for your home or garden, or your neighbours either.
Gardening: Trees to protect our sanctuary gardens

Here we are again, back in our Level 5 lockdown - albeit with some changes from last spring which mean that our retailers can remain open.
Our thoughts are with the restaurateurs and publicans, along with hoteliers around the country. It must be a very difficult and sometimes worrying time - but as someone much more learned than I said to me recently, ‘it’s always darkest before the dawn’.
One of the things we keep hearing and taking from the last nine months is that our homes and gardens have become much more important to us - our safe place, sanctuary, workspace and so much more. Another is that you want to feel protected in your home, you want to feel that it is secure and also private.
