Low cost ideas for a small shady enclosed garden space

[MilkBreadToiletroll]

I've fenced in a bit of the garden that had a drop down (on top of the brick wall). The space is now enclosed on all sides and can't be seen from the house due to the new fence. I did have pots in there but I'm not really sure what to put in there now or what to do with the space. Its about 3m x 2.5m and shady. Anyone have any low cost ideas of how to use the space?

A small above ground pond or water feature?

Do you already have space for a shed elsewhere?

@lcakethereforeIam I've just had a look at some above ground ponds and I agree it would be the perfect spot. I think they might take maintenence which is not my strong point. I hadn't thought of that idea so thank you! I will bear a water feature in mind as might be relaxing to hear the water.

@trimma it would make an ideal spot for a shed as hidden from view but we don't need one.

Grow this!!!!!! It's my favourite rose (beautiful colour changes, gorgeous scent) and does well in shade

Go for both! There are solar fountains, the solar panel can be placed somewhere sunny with a cable running to the pond. I've got a half barrel pond, it just needs its water topped up occasionally.

@Beachtastic I love a recomendation as I'm new to gardening! I especially like plants with scents - they can definitely improve my mood. I haven't grown roses before. Would they be ok in pots next to the brick wall, and hopefully use the fence to grow on?

Will definitely look into this, thank you 😊

Yes, if you get a big pot (60 cm wide/deep) it will grow in that, if you keep it well watered. I'd attach horizontal wires to the fence panel to grow it along. And feed it now and then/top up the soil with rich compost!

@Beachtastic I could manage that. Also, the fence isn't the prettiest so it would be a two for one result.

Thanks everyone for the inspiration.
