Low maintenance low "hedge" to put round edge of open garden

Looking for ideas to form an edge to our open plan garden, it's two sides, one borders the pavement, the other our neighbours shared driveway. We don't want anything too high (about knee high would be fine) or that needs a lot of work as we aren't gardeners :) The soil is clay and garden faces east and will get sun up until late afternoon. It's fairly exposed and we'd want it to stop people using the garden as a shortcut. So, not for security, just as a deterrent, therefore, wouldn't be overly upset if it had thorns...

A hedge at about .75 m could be made of red currants, black currants or blueberries, the blueberries turn red leaves in the autumn. Problem might be how to net them to stop the birds taking the fruit. Gooseberries can be spiky so might be useful.
