This is the new garden plan. The basic layout is the same, but there are rectangles of plants filled in. The garden has fencing on both sides and the main concern was to try to cover the fencing, to create a different feel. The planting is placed in flower beds in shapes of rectangles. This to create a contrast between soft planting and hard shape.
All the plants are chosen for their suitability and are all fully hardy. They are all plants that can cope with clay soil. The plants vary in shades of green and the highlighting colours (flowers and berries) range from red to orange to white and black.
Some of the plants were chosen for the smell as well. The climbers will be along the fence behind the seating area and they should give out a slight chocolate smell.
The right side has a wall of bamboos, which will give greenness and structure and dramatic effect blowing in the wind. The left side is a mix of shrubs, grasses and bamboos. Different heights and different feel. Making this an interesting and varying border. All plants are evergreen, but a few of the might be cut down in the autumn if they have had a hard summer.
Next step is trying to source the plants and cost up and count out how many of each plant I need, this will make it a real planting plan.
