Give Yourself a Getaway Any old fence can give you privacy. Dress it up with a covering of lattice and a handful of plants (such as these dramatic red-leaf castor beans) and you have an almost-instant retreat. It's a perfect place to read the morning newspaper, enjoy a quick lunch, or entertain friends for cocktails.
