    Dying Privet Hedge

    The variegated Pittosporum Elizabeth could work well - one of my neighbours has a very attractive hedge of this. I liked @Plantminded's suggestion of a flowering climber for the arch itself, too.

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Not really as I gave away my leaf blower as it was getting too heavy for me :heehee:. Also the willow leaves being long and narrow get caught inbetween the plant leaves, especially with the succulents.
