I have a retaining wall in my yard about 1m high in front of it I'm going to
have a little garden bed. What I'm looking for is a groundcover creeper that
flowers that would grow over this little wall. the wall is made of
heathstone and slopes backwards (incase you needed to know. the garden bed
faces east and is in the sun for most of the day. any suggestions.


I'd be looking at small prostrate shrubs if I were you. Diggers Club have a
prostrate rosemary in their current catalogue. Nasturtiums or petunias would
work too.

If you plant a bed in front, how will you access the bed at the top later on?
The ease of maintenance should determine what you put in it.
