@februarysgirl. Well done! I remember you saying you would have liked curved paths, always hard to marry up with angular raised beds so with the gravel down now it looks lovely. You are probably right there is too much gravel area in the corners but pots and something spreading planted there will soften those areas.
Thanks 🙂 I shan't put any plants in the ground as it would restrict access to parts of the raised beds for pruning/weeding. Alas, I'm only 4ft 11 and don't have much of a reach 😔😆 I'm thinking of bringing in other elements that don't require maintenance like rocks and tree stumps, I need to spend a little lot of time on Pinterest and YouTube looking for DIY decor ideas. I've seen some interesting things done with quick set concrete but I'm not sure I trust myself with the stuff! I'd love to grow some moss on things but from what I've read, the yoghurt approach is a bit hit and miss. It might not be the garden I want (yet) but it's a start and I'm pretty chuffed with what I've managed to achieve 😊
@februarysgirl I have creeping phlox in front of one raised bed which gets knelt or trodden on every so often as I'm weeding but it never seems to mind!
I’ve nearly finished creating a Japanese inspired garden. It’s been hard work and I’m a novice gardener so I’ve just had to learn along the way. Any advice would be really welcomed 🙂

Viewed house October 2019 (first photo), moved in 23 December, started garden transformation 24 March 2020. The work continues as I have a 6'x10' greenhouse still in its boxes stored in my garage! Its planned position has changed 3 times, hence the delay! The other 2 photos were taken on 1 June and 15 July.
Still plodding on with another "look" for the bottom now that we finally have a boundary,albeit next doors garage wall! Fortunately its taken no sun away.I never thought it would end!! 😁😁
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
