Looking for quick plant suggestions (need by Saturday!) – tall (4′ or so) thick tree or bush to plant in a large oversized pot or box. We’ll need 2 or so of these in our front area along our next door neighbor’s stoop (specifically along our fence that separates our area from the very bottom of their stoop and a few steps up). They have a dog, and we have a young child that likes to stick her hands through the fence. So, we’re looking for a solution to keep little arms going through the railing. Something that is full year round to provide the protection we’re looking for. Preferably something that doesn’t need a lot of watering. Something like a dwarf Alberta Spruce or like a thick hedge-like bush? – something wide – but not deep – to plant along the back of our yard. Open to anything. It can be tall or short. This is for cosmetic purposes – we just want to hide the ugly fence back there without losing much yard space. It gets enough sun back there. Something low maintenance preferable. Thanks!

On one ugly fence I have English ivy growing, on the other I have honeysuckle. They cover the fence and only need trimming. The ivy is a nice background, and you will also have space to plant whatever you want. As for the front, boxwood is pretty standard.

and Lapide’s at Terminal Market has EVERYTHING 50% off this week! Shrubs, trees, plants and pots too! I’m sure there are other nurseries in Terminal Market with similar sales – but I was at Lapide’s the other day – great selection!
