well i havent really got a plan but have put in a little pear tree, clematis up the wall which has been eaten by snails, camelia, azealia and some bargain lost label perrenials so am waiting to see what does well. also nasturtiums this year to give some fast colour. have cleared the soil back from paving stones looks a lot better already. would like to cover walls completely as they are very ugly. what would you do here irish if you were me. im new to gardenig so any advice a pleasure to recieve.

I did my garden from scratch as, primarily, a wild-life garden and its worked a treat. I've loads of birds nesting, hedgehogs,frogs ,butterflies etc. Once the plants are in I think the trick is not to be too tidy (thats my excuse anyway!) Best of luck Mike
