At The plant Farmer you will find a wide range of hedges, perfect for screening your garden, giving it structure or creating privacy. Whether you are looking for an evergreen hedge, a flowering hedge or a hedge that attracts birds and bees - we have the right hedge plant for every wish.

Why choose a hedge?

Hedges are a natural and sustainable alternative to fences or walls. They not only add greenery to your garden, but also provide shelter for birds and insects. In addition, hedges grow with the seasons, making your garden alive all year round.

Advantages of hedges:

• Privacy and shelter – A dense hedge prevents prying eyes and provides protection against the wind.

• Sound reduction – Hedges help to reduce sound, ideal for gardens along busy streets.

• Sustainable and environmentally friendly – ​​Hedges contribute to biodiversity and provide shelter for animals.

• Atmospheric – Hedges provide a green, natural appearance in the garden.
