hi thanks for your replies
HI Willdb im looking for low maintenace, and tidy the garden is about 12x12ft.
Hi Tetley thanks for your suggested some plants for a boarder but as im new to this dont really have a clue lol, how big would a willow tree grow ? if i put it in the middle of where grass is now would that be ok with gravel around it
if i was to take off as much grass as i can their is like weeds under it, would i just
put the black sheeting straight on then gravel,or try and let it dry ?
thanks
I think that is a good place..if you can upload some pics haha

I have Acer 'Osakasuki' in my wet northern garden (now about 20 years old) and it does really well. I have even grown some of its seeds and have a variety of different coloured youngsters in pots growing on the north side of my house. I have been able to supply neighbours and friends with seeds too.
