The two sections had a number of ornamental flower type plants &#8211; most of which I didn&#8217;t like (eg Bird of Paradise, a number of cactii and other succulents).  The ground cover was red bark chips &#8211; ewww. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plants we given away or moved and the majority of wood chips removed. On the left where there we no big plants I could clear most of the space and created a 2.4m x 2.4m square with sleepers.  As the soil in garden was very dry and sandy I turned it over a couple of times and worked in a few bags of potting mix to add some compost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/front-garden-L-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Left side of garden\" class=\"wp-image-32\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:293px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wallymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/front-garden-L-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.wallymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/front-garden-L-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wallymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/front-garden-L-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.wallymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/front-garden-L-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wallymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/front-garden-L-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wallymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/front-garden-L-850x1133.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.wallymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/front-garden-L-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the right I left the big plants in the middle.
