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.
