I have my own garden for the first time, and I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed by it. It’s long, narrow and overgrown, and part of the east-facing side is shaded by my neighbour’s deciduous trees. I’ve decided I’d like to try to turn this area into bit of a woodland border, with some shrubs, ferns and perennials. Could you recommend any of your favourite plants for this kind of location? The soil seems reasonable if a bit dry, and we’re in a fairly dry and sunny bit of England. Thanks for your help!
