A '''hedge''' or '''hedgerow''' is a line of closely spaced [[shrubs]] or similar plants designed to mark a boundary or create a barrier to entry. Hedges may be used in place of [[fences]] in certain areas. As they are comprised of living plants they require regular maintenance (intervals depend on the plant species in question) to avoid becoming overgrown.

Hedges are common in [[England]]. In [[France]] during [[World War II]], hedgerows ,made the Battle of Bocage difficult to fight, as soldiers could hide in hedges that lined the roads.
