Hi all
First post and new to gardening etc but learning a lot fast. I have just
landscaped my back garden with the aim of making it more manageable.
What I have
left to allow myself to plant is 4 beds, two at the front of
our decking either
side of steps and two to the side, approximately
half way down the garden.
Please see the attached plan, i hope that it’s
clear enough?!
We did the work on the garden as we are looking to move within two
years.
Because of this reason we don't want to spend too much on plants
we will have to
leave behind but will spend a little more on a few
specimens we can take with
us. What we have been drawn to so far are
Acers, cherries, magnolias, slender
trunk Hornbeams that we could either
pot and place above ground or leave potted
but dig them into the beds.
As far as plants we would leave, we are struggling,
but one idea was to
create wild flower beds with varying heights. We thought of
this as an
economical option but also because we genuinely love wild flowers and
it
would be wonderful to see some local wildlife visit our garden. Should I
be
wary of anything in particular with wild flowers?
I should mention that the garden is S.E. facing and mostly clay alkaline
soil
(which may be an issue with the magnolia).
Like I mentioned there is a plan attached and we would love any input!
Thanks for reading and look forward to feedback
OP.
