Greetings all

Our garden has been much neglected over the last few years, mainly due
to ill-health, but is now undergoing a complete transformation. It is a
typical terraced house garden (13 x 75 feet) and has recently been taken
back to bare earth. We have designed the hard landscaping and will be
doing this over the next month to 6 weeks.

Our problem is that neither my wife or myself have any knowledge of
plants, so feel somewhat daunted regarding a planting scheme. Any ideas
as to how we should approach this, or recommended books would be most
appreciated. Is it the sort of thing that we could ask a garden designer
to do, given that we already have a plan of the layout?

Thanks in advance,

Brian
Dunno if it helps, but there used to be a series of garden books called "The
#foo Garden Month-by-month. Yoou could get them on wildlife, cottage,
formal etc and they had a a good list of plants in season each month, and a
couple of basic garden plans at the back. I think they are out of print
now, but there are always a few floating about on ebay.
