We have just built some raised beds 5m long by 1 m wide and we are also looking to grow a privacy screen. I went to a garden fayre last weekend and asked their advise they suggested to plant Red Robin or Laurel and to plant 3 shrubs to a meter(so I will need 15 in my 5m bed). I also want to plant lavender in front and they said these would grow well together.

I think Red Robin needs to be planted in the ground - it grows into a small tree-size - your trough really wouldn't be deep enough
Tell us more about your garden, the trough and what you want to screen.

The back of the planter will be the metal fence
what type of camellia is reliable, and give relatively dense coverage
