I would love some ideas on how to create more lushness and shade at the top of the garden. That part is north east facing. I have a small wildlife pond up there about 2 metres away from the fence. The soil is heavy clay and damp. I want to create a sense of privacy as the fence is about 6ft high and you can see the houses further up the hill. Any ideas please?

I have what I call a 'privacy screen' in my garden which has my tiny pond in front of it, and two raised timber containers - one at each end - which have apple trees in them. The screen has clematis on it and some other bits and bobs, as well as the planting next to the pond.
As an alternative to James' and Obelixx's suggestions - Amelanchiers will give some light shade, and are easy to keep in check. Good for wildlife too.
