Screening: The process of using a barrier or filter to separate materials, block sunlight, or provide privacy in a garden.
Think of screening as putting up a garden’s personal privacy wall or filter. It’s like adding a layer of protection or separation to your outdoor space. Imagine it as a stage curtain, hiding unwanted views or creating a backdrop for your plants.
Screening can serve many purposes in a home garden. You might use a trellis or fence to block unsightly views, like a neighbor’s shed or a busy street. It’s like hanging a beautiful painting to cover a less attractive wall. Shade cloth can screen out harsh sunlight, protecting delicate plants from sunburn. It’s like giving your plants a sun umbrella.
Screening can also create a sense of privacy, making your garden feel like a secluded oasis. It’s like building a secret garden in your backyard. You can use living screens, like hedges or climbing vines, or artificial screens, like bamboo or fabric. It is like choosing the perfect outfit for your garden, matching function and style.
