Walls of tall, dense hedges within the garden create the ultimate garden room. With the addition of a door, you really have the sensation of entering a private green space. Tall hedges with doors invoke the curiosity of what is on the other side, and from these images I am totally intrigued.

I love how the door is set back from the hedge to even create a hallway. |
Depending on what area of the country you live in, there are different types of shrubs that will work well for you in hedging (Taxus (Yew) and Boxwood (Buxus) are just two examples that we can use in Central Ohio). Besides picking the right plant, you need time. Areas with longer growing seasons (Southern Zones) will have faster luck with training hedges, while here in Ohio you will need to invest years training your hedge.

This is the world’s oldest Yew Hedge in Cirencester Park, Gloucestershire, England. Planted in 1720, it stands nearly 50 feet tall. I think it would be amazing to cut a door in the hedge to play on the scale, but not sure if you would really want to mess with a masterpiece.
