Plant/perennial advice, please?

Happy Sunday, all... 😊

I'm not a newbie, it's just that there's so much I still don't know.

Eg our genius landlord has dug up a scabby old hedge that was only good for weeds and somewhere for snails to abseil from into my raised bed. He's replaced it with a beautiful fence.

There's now a lovely large border, but it's south-facing and gets very windy. Might anyone know the best sort of shrub or perennial to plant there?

Thanks in advance. (No idea why my pic has uploaded sideways 🤔)

What sort of eventual height and spread were you looking for ?

Had you thought of mixing blackcurrants and gooseberries underplanted with perennial flowering plants?
Maybe rhubarb?
Or even turning it completely into a veg patch? With flowers around the edges?
If you wanted colour then you can always fix colourful planters onto the fence.
