We are novice gardeners who have just moved into a newly built home with
a blank canvas for a garden. (Just earth, not even any grass). We would
love to design it ourselves, but are looking for some pointers to make
sure we start off in the right direction.
Although most garden design web articles and books that we have reviewed
seem to tackle the problem of long, thin gardens, we have the opposite
problem, in that our garden is very wide, but not very deep (22metres
wide by 14 metres deep).
How can we best design the garden to make it appear narrower and deeper
than it actually is? The garden is completely flat and gets sun all day
long. It is surrounded by a wire mesh fence, but through the fence we
have uninterrupted views over open fields.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Plant all the plants and flowers and whatever you want in your garden
into long side of the garden... Like with sides to 22meters. By which
your garden will get a long narrow shape of 22 meters long and 14 meter
wide... Make footpath in center of it for walk... This will provide you
ease to walk in and check each and every thing easily.

I'm presuming that this is strictly an ornamental garden, and not a
vegetable garden. With a vegetable garden, you don't want the rows more
than 4 ft. apart.

You may want to google "ornamental gardens, pics", or "garden designs,
pics" to spark some idea of what you'd like to see in your garden.

This might work for you.
