Hidden corner ideas?

I have a hidden corner in my garden (south and east corner) you can't see it unless you walk over there. That nearest part of my garden is meant to be gravel garden (due to the poor garden). Do you have any thoughts what. Can do with it... tried throwing down wildflower seeds but they haven't taken, so I just keep the grass that's growing short? Any thoughts appreciated?

I would build a wildlife sanctuary. Dig out some soil and sink an old bowl in there and fill with soil and large stones. You could put a bog garden plant in there, or just use it for visiting frogs, toads and birds. Then stack the rest of the corner with stones,bricks, straw and wood for insects.

I would plant it with Vinca and ground hugging ivy to make a snug bug hotel

I'd have a hidden little nook for sitting and dreaming in. Maybe a swinging chair or bench in an arbour with honeysuckle over.

Now bluebells sound appealing...
