I wish to establish a 15 metre row of rhododenron bushes to form a more

a wooden fence and to encorage wildlife into the gaden.


Actually rhododendron is not a good plant for wildlife.

Regrettably, i have a decidedly alkaline soil.


Don't even think about rhododendron then.

Viburnum and pyrocantha will please the birds. Hydranga and Rugosa roses
will give reliable flowers.
