We have just had an offer accepted on a house with a reasonable size garden. Currently we had a sad patio, before that the darkest, least useable garden I’ve ever seen. But now I have a rectangle of grass with absolutely nothing - I am so excited.
we should be in by the start of May so I want to plan it out (couldn’t care about the inside at the moment). I am looking for hints and tips.
I like the cottage style. There’s fencing round 3 sides which I planned to plant with roses but looking I’ve had my head turned with honeysuckles. It needs levelling a bit so fancied an alpine rockery for the edge. There’s a little bit of grass at the front that I either want replace with chamomile or moss. I want an apple/cherry blossom for height and maybe an acer.
I also need greenhouse and shed recommendations, I don’t need a greenhouse but I really really want one.
I’ve not been in the soil yet but I’m aware it’ll probably need some conditioning.
What does everyone suggest? I’d like year round interest.
