In the example shown in this fence picture, it is the fence, instead, that serves as the backdrop. The small space between the cobblestone edging and the white horse fence is enlivened with a planting of colorful marigolds. Plantings are a good way to dress up horse fences, which are rather plain-looking by nature, albeit charmingly rustic. For similar ideas, see my article on fence line landscaping.
The next fence picture shows how fences and plants can be brought together in creative fence planters....
