Whether your garden is in a zero lot line neighborhood, or a sprawling country estate, the odds are you have a space where a straight and narrow plant is desirable. Your options are to either choose plants that are correct for the space or force ones that are not into submission. Living walls have become popular options for these spaces in recent years, they can be costly and high-maintenance; there is a better option for long-term success.

By using slender trees and shrubs, as well as vines, you can add excitement to an otherwise challenging space.
