"From My Garden — Hedging Yourself In."

An essay that later appeared as part of chapter 22 in A Fountain of Flowers.

On being asked advice from friends about hedges, Bates researched a topic he knew little about, having himself only one hedge in his garden.

Here he shares the fruits of his study, including suggestions of several excellent hedging plants.
