MuseLea's blog: Garden design

Posted on May 5, 2022 5:38 PM

After moving in to the house in October 2020 I spent the winter trying to decide on a design for the garden. Lots of sticks, string and random objects were used to mark out potential designs.

I wasn't happy with any of them. Sighing! The garden sloped from the back towards the house. The back fence pointed into the garden like an arrow. The garden was almost twice the width at the house end as at the back fence. All the configurations that lined the garden up with the house looked wrong somehow. I then tried slicing the garden in line with the wonky back fence rather than in line with the house. This looked more promising Smiling

By this time it was April 2021. Turning the garden on a diagonal gave me ideas to run with. I could picture raised beds, a pergola, lots of climbing plants. Time to sketch

What a weird shape! Big Grin

Happy with the sketch I decided to make a 3d mock up of the idea in my head using freebie software I found on the internet.

Now to find someone to do the hard landscaping. I love my plants but I'm no DIYer unfortunately.
