Help! What do I plant in an area with chuckies?

Out the front of our house we have a raised area up from the street which is flat and covered in chuckies. There is weed control fabric under the chuckies. The previous owners of the house have some plants - some look like mini (tiny) bushes/trees and some are flat plants which just kind of spread over a largish area.

My problem is that the planting seems to be rather irregular - one side is quite full looking, the other side is really sparse with massive gaps with no plants. I want to fill them in but I have no idea what to put in.

I can’t afford a gardener to do it for me but I am clueless with anything plant related. I’d like something with a bit of colour which requires minimal (and by minimal I mean zero) care.

Any ideas/advice gratefully received!

Around here wood lice are called chookie pegs, I wondered if you had a garden over run with theGrin.

But to answer your question, you can plant anything in a gravel garden.

SpongeBob - Dobbies is closer to me but the other garden centre does better cake so I’ll have to suck up the drive out Wink
