Hi
It's concrete and North east facing, we get strong wind off the sea. My husband isn't to sure about changing it, I will try an get a photo tomorrow and measure the size
Of course, you could grow some veg and perhaps strawberries too.
You could always have a container garden and grow everything in pots and troughs. Getting concrete up is hard and you don't know what the soil is like underneath. You could use some decking or gravel areas to soften the concrete.
The photo is in Great Dixter last June. Small pots in front and big ones behind. Just to show you how colourful and flowery it can be. I prefer bigger pots, don't dry out so quickly.
