Current thinking is a mix of a couple of bamboo varieties at the back in a sort of a flat V-formation to draw the eye behind and square it off a bit. Lots of ferns under and around the entrance / exit points, then big jungle-like plants that'll stand the conditions rolling out from there with some flowers interspersed - thinking fushuas as they grow well in a similar spot at the other end and have that vibe. Within that or in between I'd like to work out some little rat run type routes or hiding places if possible.
Just to add to the moon-on-a-stick vibe I'd like to plan out year round interest. We were lucky to inherit an established garden from keen gardeners, but I feel they dropped the ball on the autumn to early spring period... or maybe took those plants with them.
If anyone knows of a sort of UK heavy clay suitable plant that looks sort of like a cheese plant please let me know. It's quite a hard thing to serach for as everything is about creating really impractical "true" jungle gardens, usually in enclosed terrace gardens. I'm fucked if I'm growing anything that you've got to bring in for the winter.
