Just thought id share with you all my back garden which is now 2 years old.The garden is on a steep slope,so we leveled off the middle part where the grass is.Palettes were use to make the archway,bench and tresseling.Im a relativaly new gardener this being my first,my boyfriend did all the woodwork and my mum helped me with the plants,theres so much to learn !

Id really like feedback please let me know what you think !

I love it too :)
You've managed to "marry" your planting with your hard landscaping....and your design looks excellent! Love your use of pebbles and slate, and how you've achieved a contemporary "look" to your garden. Well done!:)

Is the pink one a Weigela? though I'm not sure of the spelling!
Well done, whdebor on your lovely garden design. I agree the slate looks great, and so do the heucheras and grasses together.

You have been very creative with your variety of pebbles and slate and the way you have arranged the wood on the levels...it's looking beautiful with all your planting.

Welcome to GOY Whdebor, your garden looks fantastic, so many lovely plants. Your boyfriend must have saved you £'s, by making all your trellis, archway and fencing etc. he's made a lovely job of it all, and you and Mum have done a fab job of all your planting, especially your pebble garden, love all the grasses etc, they all look lovely, you sure have something to be proud about,,, well done to you all. :o))

When I first started gardening we used pallets, shed, compost bins etc, theres still a pallet in front of my greenhouse, our first attempt at decking lol.. You and your Bf are doing a great job there whdebor, you have an eye for design, well done.....
