Many Mediterranean plants / sedums / prairy plants should do well, my two cents would be to plant something for every season. Bulbs/Hellebore for late winter with interesting leaves, then have flowers all the way for pollinators.
Other aspect is use: What should be seating, what should be grass to play on/sit on (or thyme/moss, there are some alternatives for grass), do you want to add a small pond/bird bath for water?
What is your style? Formal with geometrical aspects? Informal with mostly plants? Etc? Do you like stone/gravel gardens? Or cottage gardens?
This site is actually not bad for ideas: https://www.bhg.com/gardening/plans/easy/ it is USA based, but it should work here. The continuing heat/weird weather means roses and some other plants may be struggling if you are in a hot part of the UK with sandy soil...
Does anyone have any recommendations for garden Instagram accounts?
We have a small south-facing garden and would like to do something with it, but have no idea where to start looking.
