Best Privacy Plants

Creating an intimate outdoor space is easier than you think. With the hectic pace of modern life we are spending more and more of our days in the car, at the office, and staring at our computer screen. Plugged into to seemingly never-ending stream of noise and information, now more than ever we need a place to retreat and regroup. What would it be like to have that getaway in your own backyard? Not simply a garden or patio, but an outdoor space as intimate as the den or bedroom in your home. A well-designed outdoor space should be an integral part of your home, and it begins with ideal location.

If you're looking to create a garden with intimate space, you will want plants that grow in tall, lush, and thick.
