Ive spent 4 years working on my garden... but I not that keen on it!!

When we moved in it was a piece of wasteland, it was horrendous. So its
taken a couple of years to just get the structure of it. Ive put in
walls, steps, a patio, new fencing, new lawn.

Apart from the entrance, with my star jasmine climbers and strawberry
plants, Im not too keen on it!!

I feel like ripping out most of the shurbs and starting again! Has
anyone got any ideas of plants, trees, shrubs etc I could try? I thought
about builing a seating area in the corner.

I just feel the gardens a bit dull! It needs a bit more interest!

What you lack is what gardeners like to call bio-diversity. Get yourself
a really big cat, like a leopard, or a cheetah, a bear, and a
rhinoceros, if you can afford one, and put them out in your garden. I
guarantee your garden won't be boring anymore. After some time, you may
even think back, wistfully, on those days when your garden was a little
bit more boring, and dull.

Go eyetalian, add one of those statues of a virgin mary poised in a
turquoise urinal.
The Christians landscapers will love these:
