What was once 60 ft. of Privet Hedge is now 60 ft. of color and additional gardens. We have 16 hay racks and terracotta pots on this fence and an additional 6 post top planters. We always make this as big and colorful as possible so all of our neighbors can enjoy it as well. By mid summer all of the plant material on this fence will be just spectacular. Morning glory and trailing nasturtium will cover the removable trellises on top of the fence. This is really a wonderful challenge every year designing a color scheme to wow our visitors. If you would like to view more pictures of our gardens in the City of Buffalo NY please look me up on Face Book. I'm the guy with the Martini Glass in my face. Please make sure you mention that you saw me on here.

thanks
