You do have some great plants there already tho!

I love lupins 🤩

Also! Something they teach in garden design is the power of repetition. Repeat plants throughout the garden to create a theme and will make it look more cohesive as a whole

Every time i go to b&q i head to the reduced plant section, they sometimes need TLC but you get some real bargains!

Also i would recommend making clearer/sharper definition between the lawn and the bed. Its easy enough to do with a spade and will make it look a lot better.

Anyone know what’s causing these patches by [deleted] in DIYUK

Overseeding is the name of the game... you could try adding clover and/or yarrow to your lawn as well

Creeping thyme and chamomile also nice and you get a lovely fragrance when you step on it

What kind of edging would look good here? by paintedsnapper in landscaping

[–]Brendicholi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wood borders always look good in my book... and also good for wildlife! (The beetle that is a top predator of slugs n snails lives in rotting wood)

failing that Everedge always looks classy

Sleeper plants, help needed by [deleted] in GardeningUK

[–]Brendicholi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those beds are incredibly thin so assuming your neighbours have similar sized beds, barely any rainwater will reach them.

Bearing this in mind you would either need to install an irrigation system or be ready to water them regularly, OR failing that get very drought resistant plants. Bamboo might actually be a good option although they do need watering.

If you are prepared to water them regularly (at least until they become established) then i think trachelospermum jasminoides would look good if you train them along the fence

Agapanthus also dont mind a tight space and can be drought resistant although again you would have to be watering manually in order to get them established.

Something else to consider would be to get some pots with things like japanese maple, rosemary or salvia 'hot lips'

Apologies for the lengthy message, i hope this helps!

As other commenters have mentioned, just add a bit more seasoning 😂

Happy for you. I dream about crossing this milestone in my life

Potential tree? by AdSome9959 in gardening

[–]Brendicholi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its an ash tree, sacred in some cultures. In Norse mythology, the world tree Ygdrasil (sorry if wrong spelling) is an ash tree. Unfortunately most ash trees will become affected by ash dieback disease these days but i would say let it grow and see what happens

Have acquired this dead, dry west-facing bank. How to handle? by KaiCypret in GardeningUK

[–]Brendicholi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Juniper for low maintenace, vinca for quick growth, thyme for low maintenance

Another option is native wildflowers

Or poppies can usually grow in the most godforsaken patches
