All about getting your garden right for you,colourful & productive Safe and Sound for You and Your Family


Spikey bushes shrubs and trees are used to create defensive barriers around garden borders,next to hedges and in other areas that access may be gained, it is viable to use a plants climbing and defensive properties to improve an existing border, hedge or other boundary to help stop theft or vandalism like graffiti. It takes time for plants to grow and you need to be patient but once fully grown these plants can make excellent deterrents against thieves, vandals and other undesirables.

I’ve seen amazing sights where people have trained spikey and thorny plants like roses to climb fences and walls and they  get so well established that there is no way on earth that anybody can get into gardens over fences and walls..  Thorns are vicious; Gardens can become impenetrable. Brilliantly you get rewarded with fragrant and colourful flowers.   You do have to prune it from time to time to keep it tidy and to stop it growing out of control.  But, if given the choice plants are invariably better than razor or barbed wire .
