Hi,
I have a terrace house with a small front garden approx 1m x 4m. There
is a
small wall at the front just under 1m high. I have a problem with
cats so I want
to grow perennial plants, and plants that will cover the
ground, leaving little
bare soil. I like cottage gardens and that's the
look I want, but every time I
go to the garden centre I just get
overwhelmed and come away with nothing! If
anyone has any suggestions I
would be most grateful. Thanks!

Where are you? What is the climate? What is the aspect of the garden?
