Wow! that is a steep garden:) I think you're right about creating access from the back room on the upper floor of your house. I'd get advice from an architect to see if this is feasible. It would take some serious landscaping but you could also create a zig zag path to another tier as well.

Some good advice from Rachel above. Bamboo is wonderfully lush and creates a tropical wall of green but be very careful if you plan to plant directly into the ground. The roots will travel horizontally and pop up wherever they fancy ending up in neighbours gardens who won't be best pleased. If you do want to plant bamboo make sure its in large containers and feed it seaweed fertiliser to get it going and create the lush abundant foliage. It will also need plenty of regular water especially if its in a container. Once your shed is positioned in the right hand corner of your garden you could think about softening the side with planting. attach a trellis and grow a climbing clematis to blur the lines. Good luck and happy planting!

It’s two years now since I first posted about ideas for redesigning our garden and now that it’s really looking ‘established’, I thought I’d post an update. I also wanted to say a huge ‘thank you’ to those who responded with ideas & inspiration, particularly @rachelmidlands & @jonathan for their plans which I incorporated into our design. We love our ‘new’ garden and feel especially grateful & fortunate at the moment to have our outdoor space.

I agree with Ribena. I think the trees and sunny aspect may be depleting the moisture out of the soil. Digging in compost is great but slow release fertiliser needs moisture to activate it. Although many plants love sunshine, such as Clematis, they need shade and water at the roots. I would give the whole bed a good watering to thoroughly soak the soil around the plants. Do this once a week and I’m sure you’ll see a difference. Remember a good thorough soak once a week is better that a light sprinkle every day. To help retain the moisture, you could add a layer of compost or bark after you have watered.
