Im thinking about planting a load of shrubs up the side of my garden, to make a windbreak. Any ideas what to use, would like something that flowers in the summer...

Garden is south facing but because of some trees up the top of the garden, it only gets part sun

Thanks in advance

    Just spoke to my mum and she suggested these:

    Azalea,
    Camellia,
    Choisya,
    Hydrangea,
    Rhodedendron

    She said that some of them can go a bit wild if not kept under control, hope this helps:beer:
