Need Privacy? DIY Garden Privacy Ideas

2014-01-15T05:02:00.000-08:00

Most of us have wished for a little more privacy in our yards and gardens…unless you live on acreage, chances are you have a neighbor just a little too close. No matter how tight you are with your neighbors, you just might want to feel a little less exposed when enjoying your own outdoor space.
Deborah Silver has this great privacy wall for us made of wooden posts and planters filled with herbs and succulents. While you don’t necessarily have to employ hard carved posts, the idea can be copied by anyone! Prefer flowers? Stick to a color theme and go for it! Just be sure if your privacy fence is in the shade, you choose shade plants, or likewise for plants that need full sun.

GardenCams offers us this easy solution if you have a balcony space… Morning Glories planted in containers, then grown up a string trellis for a living privacy fence! Looks great from both sides, and is budget friendly!

Martha Stewart shows us how to use rain gutters to create a container garden that doubles as a privacy screen. We love how they used copper gutters!

These up-cycled old doors are hinged together to create a very cool privacy screen… We would advise sealing it with a good exterior grade polyurethane to protect it from the elements.

Apartment Therapy recently featured this fence created from recycled metal… This looks like art!

Privacy curtains are still a great choice for a more traditional garden space… just be sure to use fabric that is graded for outdoor use. Other options? Use cheap fabric shower curtains…they are naturally mildew resistant, and they are so cheap you can throw them away at the end of the season!

Use artistic panels created with wood frames, and filled with wire mesh and panels of polycarbonate material, or even mesh fabric. Check out this example from Houzz.

Consider raising your containers to offer privacy to your porch or deck. If you can’t create these awesome built-ins, raise your containers up using stands and tables.

Finally, use larger plants in containers that can be moved to provide privacy where you need it. Using bamboo to modernize your garden can also create a natural screen.

Which one is your favorite?

La Socelière

2013-12-12T05:32:00.002-08:00

La Socelière
In 1999, Giuseppe Laviani and his wife Giacomina purchased La Socelière, a 17th-century chateau in the Loire Valley for $500,000. Even after investing another $500,000 to restore the property, they were able to keep it practical and non-stuffy. During the summers, four generations of the Laviani family go shoeless.

You have been invited to a house warming and don’t know which gift to bring? these cute mini gardens from Plant the Future are sure to help you solve that problem. Plant the Future is an art and design gallery where the plants are the stars. Terrariums, desert gardens, orchid arrangements, airplants,and a wide variety of cacti are among the items that can be found here. Plant The Future utilizes only live plants (no cut flowers) in its creations, offering a “green” alternative to traditional floral arrangements. Plant the Future, Inc. was founded in 2008 by Paloma Teppa, industrial designer and artist. Paloma’s passion is to fuse art, design and nature, constantly pushing the barrier of her artistic expression through new and innovative creations. The first Plant The Future store opened in 2009 in the Wynwood Art District with new locations opening up in Miami in 2012.

Inside Out

Longer daylight hours means more time spent outdoors . . . and that is by far my favorite thing about summer. If you’re lucky enough to have outdoor space, take advantage of being able to bring the indoors out!
