I have a privet hedge about 3ft high around my vegetable plot. It's old.
It's tired. It need frequent clipping. It's dying.

I plan on replacing it with a light wooden fence, which I intend to screen
with a variety of plants.

I want:

Flowers in the summer and interest (berries/foliage) in the winter.
Little maintenance, apart from the odd bit of pruning.
Good screening of the fence
Variety
Not too thick

Location is west central Scotland.

Suggestions?

I can't for the life of me think why anyone would surround a veggie
patch with privet, so good thing its dying, but they don't die easily in
my experience, so better see what's killing it? But to your question,
what about blueberries perhaps?
