Coniferous trees take a long time to grow. Why not put something that grows quickly? Also, you don't want to block all the sunlight to the garden so make sure before you put a windrow that won't happen.
On the farm, we had a row of chokecherries and a large crabapple tree. You might also consider edible plantings as well. Nothing wrong with multipurpose plantings.

Bambi will just jump over the blackberries. A drift pile of trash would be easiest of course but not nearly as lovely to look nor as utile as crabapple trees. I opt for living wall not a giant burnpile  |

Another thread here mentions wattle & daub houses. The bones of a wattle & daub is a brushy wall made mostly of sticks, twigs, and brush. It looks remarkably like a fence.
Just a thought, for any potential basket weavers who might wander through RNA...
As an aside, a brush fence won't keep out a rooting critter like an armadillo or hog, but bambi don't like to get tangled up in fences.

One perk to a brush pile is the game birds that will take advantage of them for nesting  |

It kind of depends on his climate. If he lives far enough north gooseberries have plenty of thorns, too warm for them where I live.
