Our new garden has a yucky brown/orange fencing with little privacy. Can you recommend ideas to help with this please in quick growing shrubs etc. Some shrubs will have to cope in planters as tarmac area on one side can not be touched. Thanks so very much for taking time to think about & answer this problem! ( I an an ardent nature lover & want to attract butterflies, birds & bees). Best wishes everyone Honor.

I love this fence for privacy. Mabe this video will help...
I like butterfly bushes but I don't know if they'll grow in your area. I would suggest you go to your local nursery and talk to them about what you need. I'm sure they'll be able to help you and you'll be able to see what they are talking about.
I don't know a shrub that grows fast enough to give you privacy. I would suggest building an open lattice framing and then add vines or climbing flowers to cover the area. You could even buy panels.... https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/sb1/lattice-trellises-c417298-a72384~281437.html grow some colmbine, morning glory, honeysuckle, or other fast growing climbing plant.
