Large shrubs next to fences

How about putting wires on the fence and training climbers up them? Several are evergreen and with judicious planting, you could have colour and scent all year round. Will the same happen if I plant a hedge of native species in front of the fence? If not, what's the difference and if so, what can I do as my hedge is intended to grow and replace the fence eventually. Martin If your hedge is intended to replace the fence, do what has been done down one side of my garden. The previous neighbour (his fence) post and chain linked it. We have a hedge on our side which when it grows through their side they are quite happy to get the hedge trimmer on it whilst we do the same on our side. You must be able to get on with your neighbours or they will complain about it! We are very fortunate that we get on very well with them and work together on both sides.
