    You know it looks really nice - yes it needs a good tidy but wow, mature, interesting, You could enhance it by making it more mysterious so that you have secret areas behind some of the more mature shrubs to surprise you as you walk along, or secret sitting areas. Wowimage

    I just have a fairly bare new garden(not new build) with shrubs that will take years to mature - make the most of what you have image

  • Oh indeed Rosa - I know how lucky I am to live with a very mature garden, the results of previous gardeners' labours and skills that's for sure - my questions were really coming from the point of how to keep it all going without doing any damage!

    It is very exciting to have a bare space to play with so I'm sure you will have lots of fun planning and plottingimage

    I have quite a large garden that we had to raze as it was just brambles, unkept trees, cutting back brambles gave us 10ft + extra garden at the side and more than that at the back. We had the trees cut down, and so big blank space. To be honest I wanted to make a garden so i am loving it and learning so much as I go along - and i thought I knew gardening imageimage
