Problem corner

The best place to sit in our garden is beyond the swings, see attached.  Our children will soon out grow the swing area and we would like to put in some screening where the swing/trampoline is and change shape of bed but because it's all on a corner, we just can't see how to design it.  Any suggestions?  Our garden is large and rural ... We don't want to lose view between trees but do need tidy up the corner.

    Do you have a few more pictures of different angles?

    I would link the two beds together (unless there's a huge space behind the yellow bush) with a curving bed between the two, then plant a variety of shrubs with different heights, assuming that you just want to screen the children's play area from view. If you lay a hosepipe on the ground, you can experiment with different shapes first (and check from a 1st floor window if possible).

    Will you be keeping the swing?

    You could put up a trellis and grow roses and clematis up it.
