We’ve just come back from a holiday in North Yorkshire and spotted this wonderful topiary hedge in Filey. Well done to the homeowner who obviously spends a lot of time on the boat – a very standard Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) species but shown at its best here. Privet is really good for front garden hedges because it is pollution tolerant and probably 1 in every 20 front gardens has a Privet hedge but none quite as wonderful as this one.
