Garden enclosures

Garden enclosures are the sides of the landscape to fix the boundaries. Depending on their composition and arrangement they can produce feelings of seclusion or grandeur. Garden enclosures create privacy and also the feeling of privacy. Shrubby plant material that is high and dense can ensure privacy by restricting movement and vision. Where space is limited plants may be used in combination with structural fences as enclosure to restrict intrusion. By screening the areas with plants the view may be controlled. Objectionable features of the landscape may be successfully blocked from view by the plant material. Screening also serves as protection from the elements. Some of the garden enclosures are
