I have a strip of what was formerly lawn, which is around 1.9m wide and 11m long.
The centrally located path which now creates this lawn strip has suffered a certain amount of criticism from my OH, due to its somewhat brutalist functional nature. This isn't completely unjustified.
So I am attempting to soften it and generally make the garden pleasant again, after some years of neglect.
The area in front of the boundary wall on the east side was pretty much completely overgrown with honeysuckle, brambles, root suckers from a self seeded plum tree, and ivy. I'm gradually clearing all that.
So I want to have a patch of lawn immediately after the bed in front of the block paved patio, but would like to break up the rest of it a bit.
Maybe some ferns/ exotic plants (i do like a tree fern) to make it a bit junglist and get some succulents growing in between the bricks so soften it up?
