I would like to grow an evergreen hardy hedge in my garden. I’d like something with a bit of interest like flowers/berries maybe. Have thought about holly but its growth rate is too slow. What would you recommend that would grow at a fairly good pace?

Holly, if grown in good soil, fed each spring for the first five years and kept free of weeds for 50cm on each side of the hedge, will grow as fast as anything else.
Other possibilities include laurel, Portugese laurel and yew. Laurustinus is a shrub with white flowers in winter and spring.
