Hard to tell from this pic but I like the idea of something like the Beningbrough pergola. Obvs a micro sized version but would create areas of dappled shade. Its somewhere I've been a couple of times and inspired the planting in my garden. I'd love a nice brick wall to build a pergola off of.

Beningbrough pergola
just had a look - excellent idea. I'm going to have a look at that possibility.
@hugo7 - yes, gravel over membrane with plants in sounds like a good solution.

I'm making a little garden in this rectangle of land in Suffolk. It's very sunny, south aspect, soil is poor, sandy ex agricultural and well draining. It is dry. I'm planting drought tolerant stuff that is attractive to insects.
I've been putting loads of compost and manure into the ground which is helping plants get established. I'm wanting to have borders in a U shape eventually, with something in the middle. That something:
Your thoughts please.
