Hi all, i'm embracing gardening this year..

i have had my own house for 5 years now with 1 neglected garden ...
the garden has lots of different bushes and trees (not sure what they
are) and is enclosed, i have 3 dogs so nothing that will harm them..

the back garden is about 70ft long approx and the width of a house.. it
has a shed & coal house..

the front garden has a big drive way and the spare space is 10 foot by 4
foot.

Any ideas what i can do with these??


Welcome to URG (even if you come via gardenbanter) :-)
If you want us to ID your trees and shrubs then you need to photograph them
when in leaf/bloom and post them to either one of the free internet photo
sharers like Flickr and post a link here, or do it the Gardenbanter way
which is similar.
First thing to do is to get everyone in the house to write down
independently what they would like in the garden marking what they consider
is essential. Then sit together and thrash out a list of must have's and
wants. Only then can you start to plan out your new garden taking care
regarding sun and privacy etc. No good having a nice sitting/BBQ area that
is always in shade when you come home from work.
