Empty space

5 comments


I have a wasted space at the back as you can see in this photo and I’m not sure what to do with it.I don’t really want to grow anything in it .I thought I’d start by painting it a different colour and go from there.Does anyone have any ideas.The previous house owner had a compost bin in that area.I took down part of the trellis and I’m trying to grow the clematis Montana into an arch.The top is coming along I just need it down the sides now.

How about a couple nice patio chairs where you can go for some 'me' time.

A nice statue? Wall art?
or a mirror on the fence t reflect the foliage in the rest of the garden?

I also like the idea of a mirror.
I think I might bring the pot forward add two more to make a group of three in different sizes and then a large boulder or stone bench also paint the chair, table and pole the same colour with a huge clock on the back fence.

A birdbath? They'd soon get used to you enjoying your bistro chairs. And you might get nesters in your clematis as a bonus. All good ideas here!

Thanks everyone I like all your ideas.I’ll enjoy planning what to do but first I’m going to paint that fence.A mirror appeals to me and a clock and seats.Decisions!!
