Create privacy in a small space by using certain plants and planters. We've put together our top tips for you to bring privacy to your outdoor space.
- Plant Griselinia ‘Broadway Mint’ in rows across a few planters for the perfect privacy screen on decks and patios.
- Large trees are not only a beautiful addition they can be used practically to provide privacy. Check out our Large Tree Planting Guide here
- Hedges are a great option to create structure, provide privacy and give character to you garden. Look for evergreen options for greenery year-round or plant a hedge that not only looks good but is also edible. Feijoa, blueberry and Chilean Guava make attractive edible hedges. Space trees/bushes approximately 1–1.5m apart depending on the variety.
- Use containers! Planting in caster trollies are a good option to use as space dividers and to create privacy on your balcony as needed.
- Use trellis as a screen. It's an ideal way to add privacy without shutting off the rest of your garden completely like a fence can. You can add colour and greenery to your trellis with climbing roses and shrubs such as Star Jasmine.

Our Feijoa hedge is alongside our concrete driveway .It's fine as a hedge but falling fruit tend to get damaged when it hits the concrete.

Be aware that late ripening Feijoa trees are not suitable for some colder districts where early frosts curtail the fruit-ripenung process
