Comments (0)Hi, Hoping for some advice here. We're in the process of building our new home. I've got most of my garden sorted except for the rear left hand side where we are using the space between the fence and the retaining wall as a raised garden bed. I've attached a photo to show the space. I was hoping to put some Foxtails there but the space is about 630mm (just over 2 feet) wide. While we're going to start with smaller plants, I'm mindful of ensuring there is no damage to the retaining wall. Any suggestions would be fantastic.

Comments (13)I think it could look really pretty but it’s obviously very narrow as you’ve said. I would therefore take inspiration from plants of the Mediterranean which are used to dry, ‘poor’ conditions. I did the same when I planted up a pallet which obviously is very narrow. Also taking into consideration your desire for evergreens, I’d suggest rosemary and lavender (think of the scents whilst sat there!) and possibly thyme. And interspersed with them- grasses is different weights and hues. You could then add some allium bulbs and agapanthus in between for some summer colour, but when they aren’t flowering you’ll have lots of different textures from the other plants to keep interest. Let us know what you decide, would love to see it finished!...See MoreLarge raised patio on sloping garden - railings?
Comments (7)Thank you all. Things have been hectic & the old patio has been demolished so no really good pictures. This one is similar but I have decided to go with an inset flower bed along the front (south) edge & steps across the two corners. However the sides are causing difficulty as near the house the floor level is at the threshold but as the ground drops way towards the south & it is about 90cm off the grass at the front...Sides therefore need ‘something’ to stop someone falling off! Railings would look odd I think so perhaps I will have to resort to pots?...See MoreOUTHOUSE design
