Wild Privet (Ligustrum vulgare)
This native plant is a fast growing ever-green shrub that is ideal for hedging. During late summer it flowers with a strong smelling scent, followed by small black berries. Care must be taken as the berries are toxic to dogs and humans. The dense hedge provides an ideal habitat for small birds to nest in, and this hardy plant grows well in most environments.
