    An Algarve Garden 2024 to 2026

    It looks beautiful, Victoria. I especially like the Loropetalum. I gave mine to a friend when I moved house. It was in a pot.

    Root trainer/barrier in bought plant - ok to plant?

    They should be removed at the potting up stage IMO, after they have grown lots of roots through them its not easy, but the propagators dont care if the plant lives or dies in a couple of years.

    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.
