A couple of years agoo I was very happy to have a big greenhouse, complete with double glazed windows and a woodstove in it. I can keep many more plants which can't survive in our climate zone without protection.
But the building is somewhat spoiling the beautiful looks of the surroundings, so I want to give it a discrete look by hiding it with some plants.
Has anyone suggestions for plants which grow rather fast (so I don't have to wait douzains of years), keep their leaves in wintertime and are suitable for zone 8? I only come across bamboo as a solution, but I was wondering if there are alternatives.
Other suggestions beside hiding plantsare also welcome.
This is an image of the greenhouse to give you an idea how the situation is today (the stake on the frontside is my weather station)
Many thanks in advance,
Hendrik
