Climbing plants protect against prying eyes and create a romantic atmosphere
An original privacy screen can visually enhance the garden
Although some visual protection types fulfill their purpose and shield their own garden paradise from the prying eyes of their neighbors, at the same time stone walls and structural fabrics made of durable plastics often seem like a thoroughly confining boundary to one's own garden. With creatively inspired ideas for original privacy, a timeless, beautiful privacy screen can not only functionally fulfill its purpose, but also give the entire garden an individual and exceptional touch both inside and out.
Not for eternity and yet (or for that very reason) decorative
Sometimes, the most beautiful ideas for garden design are those whose appearance has a certain proximity to the original nature and which are not designed for decades of durability and immutability. Just as nature is subject to constant change in the wild, even without human influences, so this constant capacity for change can also find expression in one's own garden. Get creative and tinker at the chosen spot for a screen a quite irregularly shaped climbing aid made of finger-thick hazelnut rods or other, reasonably straight branches. You can connect these with wire, for example. But you can also stick wooden sticks a few inches into the ground and weave flexible, thin branches horizontally between these vertical wooden elements. Then you sow the seeds of the following annual vines:
These blooming screens will rise up on your trellis within a few weeks and attract insects such as bees and butterflies into the garden with their fragrant flowers.
Use craft materials from excursions into nature
In principle, it should be noted that when collecting natural materials, attention must always be paid to the respective regulations of nature conservation, special protected areas or the export regulations of a country. Apart from that, however, it can be a very formative experience, especially for children, to collect specially shaped root pieces, small shells or beautifully shaped stones from the bed of a dry fallen mountain stream during hikes and excursion tours with the family and later use them for ideas of garden design. A wooden privacy screen can be used to create charming works of art that will remind young and old together over many years, right behind their own home, of many beautiful, shared experiences.
A nice screen from wicker cuttings: creative and uncomplicated
Do you perhaps know a garden neighbor, who has several fully grown specimens of wicker in his garden? Sometimes these pastures also grow on the edge of streams and cuttings may be cut in consultation with the landowner. The freshly cut rods are simply put in place at least 15 cm deep into the soil, where a nice privacy with natural character should be created. The willow cuttings are usually rooted easily within a few weeks, if it is not too dry location. Thus, in the sense of a child-friendly garden design, igloos, Indian tents or interwoven walls made of willow cuttings can be created.
