Garden border plants advice needed
Comments (21)Hi there, a lovely climber that needs little or no attention is an evergreen honeysuckle called 'Fire cracker' which grows in sun or shade. One tip for more flowers is train the plants horizontally not vertically. White jasmine is another evergreen climber that smells wonderful and again needs only to be tied to the wall. It has white flowers that give off a heady scent at night from June to September and in winter the leaves turn a glorious red colour. Cotoneaster is also a great evergreen shrub that looks great all year round and the bees love it. Mine is now climbing a wall but started off as a standard shrub. White flowers in the summer and red berries in autumn. Good luck xx...See MoreNew Garden Needed - Please Help!
Comments (17)Looks like a project! You need to schedule your work and a few starting points are: Sketch out a layout Trim back hedges & replace rotting fences Remove concrete under existing shed (some could be used as hardcore under new shed depending on design) Put in base for new shed & build other landscaping Plant up beds Put in grass (artificial is a good suggestion with all those trees!) The layout will need to introduce movement, hide some areas of the garden, and put planting in the corners to blur the boundaries. Think about setting it on 45 degrees? Use evergreens such as Choisya and Osmanthus to hide areas, and possibly an evergreen Clematis armandii trained along neighbour's extension - depending on light levels. Try the sunken fire pit with raised seating made from sleepers. When planning the news, leave an 80cm wide path around the sides and back - kids love playing chase and hide and seek along these, and they also help make maintenance easier. Good luck!...See MoreGarden advice - design and trees
Comments (7)I like the idea of adding more fruit trees. A sort of mini orchard can definitely be achievable. Looking at the trees you have now they seem to be creating a natural archway. I would accentuate this by adding a willow arch and training the cherry into it. Speaking of training fruit trees have a look at espalier or fan trained trees which can work really well in smaller spaces. Not sure how keen a gardener you are as this technique requires a lot of pruning and attention. I also would lose the straight path. Instead all I would do is have a semi circle of paving at the top of the steps and grassed paths for the rest of the garden in organic flowing shapes so it looks natural. A border at front near the patio with a mix of small evergreens and summer perennials would give interest all year round. Had some free time this morning so I did a little sketch/plan how I think it could look. Will add some inspiration pics in next comment....See MoreNeed a Garden Designer and Landscape Gardener for a garden re-design
Comments (9)Hi Ellie, ok I will edit it more as it should read we want all the shrubs and trees removed which is a tall feat when your not qualified I would guess. Also with the council not available to remove garden waste, we already have a lot piling up with the compost awaiting the date for when we can remove it. Our garden already has fence all the way around, however it needs updating as it has broken it a lot of places....See MoreCowen Garden Design
