The foam packaging that comes with Bachmann Spectrum steamers is useful for making hedges. Use a new blade in a utility knife to cut suitably-sized strips, then use a brush to paint on a coating of white glue. Follow this with a dusting of fine ground foam in the colour of your choice.
I glued mine in place using white glue applied directly to the "lawn".

I've seen those "green dish scrubbies" used to make very effective hedges with loose flock glued on for depth and texture.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
I'm trying to model 1956, not live in it.
Slot the scenery for an appropriately-contoured strip of thin plexiglas. Paint trunks and branches on plexiglas. Apply glue to painted-on twig locations and press down on a layer of green ground foam. Repeat on other side. 'Plant' hedgerow in slot.
If done along a table-edge ROW, this would give protection against unscheduled rolling stock drops into oblivion.
By using dark green foam on one side and light green on the other you can establish 'sun' and 'shadow' sides. Flecks of paint or bits of foam of appropriate color could represent the flowers that bloom in the spring, if that's your season.
My signature explains why I won't be exercising that option.
