A hedge, often referred to as a fence, is a boundary formed by a dense row of shrubs or low trees. It serves various purposes, including providing privacy, marking property lines, and acting as a windbreak. Hedges can be shaped and trimmed to create a neat appearance, enhancing the landscape of gardens and yards. In addition to their aesthetic value, hedges can support local wildlife by offering shelter and food sources. Many gardeners choose specific plants for their hedges, such as boxwood or privet, to achieve desired heights and densities while promoting biodiversity in their surroundings.
