Garden Design Ideas

we have space to fill with some interesting plants (about 1.5m x 2.5m) by a south facing wall (sunny place, soil quality probably not very good). i’d like to plant some interesting and hardy grasses and shrubs and maybe some climbers. i want to create an interesting feature in our little garden with nice contrasting colours and textures. the plants should ideally be decorative all year round and shouldn’t need watering.
can you recommend any plants or a good website that features photos and descriptions or even some ideas how to group the plants to get some nice effects? most websites i’ve seen give only lists of plants (no good if you don’t know them).

any tips will be appreciated!

Hi, I’m not very green fingered but would like to try and make the most of my fairly small (approx 5m by 7m) paved garden.

I’m thinking of either a scottish or exotic themed garden and would really appreciate any suggestions on planting. What I have in mind so far, which isn’t much, is some wall baskets, pots obviously since the garden is paved and perhaps some sort of climbing plants to hopefully grow along the wooden fencing which is on 3 sides.

Anyway I would really REALLY appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Donna
