Hi Margaret,

We need to know where you live and what the climate is like in order to give
good recommendations. Is the area in full sun, or is it shady? What is
your soil like (clay, sandy?) and do you get adequate rainfall, or are you
willing to supplement the water?

Hi there, I'm looking for some good advice for a small piece of ground
I have at the very back of my back garden. The part is around 10ft
long and 5ft wide and would like to plant some nice shurbs/trees at
the back, but ones that have all year long colour, I particularyl like
Laburnium, although I know it is decidous and maybe a rhododendron for
all year leave colour. These are only a few things I have thought of.
At the front some good ongoing colour from a variety of flowers, I
particularly like wild flowers. At the moment I have some
lavender,lavatera and a buttelfy bush. Any suggestions for various
plants and shurbs would be appreciated, to give all year round
interest. I particularly like flowers that would be found in the wild
poppies, foxgloves etc.

thanks
Margaret
