• Has anyone got suggestions of what could be done for my front garden? Bit of a sad desert atm but lacking ideas and ££. It’s clay soil and west facing with the house blocking sun until the afternoon. Where the pots are was a tree/shrub at some point but we don’t want to block light into the front room.

  • As it looks like you've got a blank canvas I'd start with these questions:

    1. Is there water access?
    2. Would you ever sit there, or is it purely for the view upto the house/from the house?
    3. In a binary choice which way would you fall - hard lines/minimalist or cottage/prairie?


    Personally I like scented plants generally and especially at the front of the house so that, and winter interest, would drive a lot of the planting.

    In terms of low maintenance here are some pics from the Hampton Court show... I forget the theme but it was sort of low maintenance surviving climate change or something.
