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??

We can probably all help you ID the shrubs and trees you have once they
start into leaf and/or flower. But it helps to advise people if we know
where you live, which way the garden faces, if there are any sunny
areas or heavily shaded areas etc. Then you have to think how you're
going to use the garden. Are you going to have an enclosure for the
dogs to keep them off the rest of the garden, for example and if so, do
you want a shelter in it or some shade trees over it? Do you want a
washing line and do you have children who need play space - a swing, a
trampoline, for example? Would you like an area to sit in that faces
south and west so that you get sun for that evening drink or supper
outside? And in the meantime, if you cut the grass, your garden will
instantly look better!
