This is an area of our garden that we have never used. We plan a small
garden and have started to remove some of the old plants and paving;

Here is a rough drawing of the area:

From north to south:

From the lounge area facing north:

This is what we had in mind for the centre

Does not look if I will get responses. Is there a separate site on this
forum
to help me planning or perhaps another site??

Hi

The previous response was unclear to me, especially looking at a blog
of the

I'm adding some more pictures:

This is how it looked before:
Most of the plants now removed

This is the biggest part of my garden at the back:

A small garden in the front, clivias in bloom, the same time last
year:
