Struggling with plants or design
Dear fellow gardeners, I’m a beginner to gardening and have bought lots of plants from my local allotment society nursery this last 2 years, trying to create a natural ‘cottage garden’ look, with lots of colour and flowers, but have had no luck so far, could anyone please help me with suggestions on what’s wrong here - soil is quite dry at the moment Many Thanks Sylvia 0

Do you know what plants they are ? It's possible that they are not happy with the positioning (eg sun lovers in the shade).
Also did you do any soil preparation before planting, digging over the soil, maybe incorporating compost ? Do you know what type of soil you have ?
Enough questions for now !
i know most of the plants but did buy some on a whim having moved into new home and going thru’ tough time losing parents and was desperate for something to help me get through, so just bought plants as they weren’t too expensive at my local nursery, not thinking enough of what I was doing - I could list most of what I think I have planted, and test soil now? a bit late 🙄
They're still surviving, so it's not too late
It's all part of the learning process !
