    I'm not keen on flowers either what about a nice acer

    hostas they do have flowers but only little ones, ferns, grasses.

    What you've achieved so far is fantastic although I would've been tempted to keep the anderson shelter and make a feature of it lol, maybe painted it and grew some climbers up it.

    Yes, the acer looks lovely. I will certainly grab one of those. Are they easy to maintain? I want low maintenance!

    Funny you should say that about the anderson shelter as that is exactly what I was going to do. 2 reasons why I didn't...1. It was very rusty and full of sharp, child unfriendly edges and 2. That corner is the sunniest part of the garden and my fantasy of sitting there in the sun with a lager reading "A brief history of time" was too strong to resist!
