Cool and damp part of the garden, I love this little corner as I can grow a lot of woodland plants

Tranquility personified. Its only recently I've realised the aesthetic value of a shady ferny corner. Well done, I shall use this pic as an inspiration for a similar plan of mines.

thanks both , my plan for this is get some bulbs planted
I was thinking of Erythronium and Arum now that after years of autumn leaves being piled in every year and the soil so much more in keeping with a woodland floor but I will have to be quick and get them ordered typical of me I like Erythronium "Snowgoose" and yes one of the expensive varieties !!

i share outlanders thoughts to about inspirations :-)
but i might be reluctant to try a palm like the tall one in your corner (looks like banana palm type plant?) as i thinking it may need more care?
loved your woodland area and plants.

its a tree fern , yes it gets wrapped up for winter and does need regular watering every week in the summer to keep the log damp

the top part is about two years old I grafted on to the stump of the old one I lost in winter 2011/12 minus 7 here where I live for over 7 days if you look closely you can see a wire around the trunk and at the back is a stake, its all rooted in now I should take the wire off .
