Designing my sloping garden

I've just moved into a house which has a slopping garden to the rear. This slopes uphill by about 80cms from the front (nearest the house) to the rear of the plot, a distance of 4.5mtrs.. The width of the plot is about 10 mtrs.. There are some plants in there at present, 3 conifers and a few azaleas. I think the last occupant removed most of the plants when they left. I am at a loss to know what to do to make look attractive. Your suggestions will be helpful.

 

welcome to the forum if you have pics im sure someone will be able to offer advise

 

Thanks Maria. You may be my life saver. Give me a day or two and I will post some pics..

 

Yes Marie, great suggestion about photos we are still waiting on yours

TD

 

i did put some up (well my son did it hahha) when i first started digging the veg plot @Spruce but cant find the thread now hahhah will take some more and get posting!lol

 

not sure what all your sizes mean, as I go by feet as the measurement over here. Anyway, I designed a slope a few years back, still working on it, this year in the revamping stage. But did put in a mixture of Heaths and Heathers (85 shrubs)--so some would bloom all the time, even in the cold months. Adding more to the slop this fall, and will again this spring. Put in a few low blue berry shrubs for the birds, and some tall golden rods, some red grasses, will probably tuck in low growing white roses shrubs in spring. In the spring, there are tons of daffs that bloom the slop already, and later the English canterberry bulbs in June, mixed with Mexican poppies, and May Apples. Revamping means, pulled out some of the Heaths and heather that were not doing well, to replace with other items mentioned above.

 

Also will use some small leaf Azaleas. Forgot to mention that earlier.

 

O.K. Got some pics. now. See uploaded file. For those of you who don't use the metric system 1" is 2.5cms and a meter is 39". In pots awaiting planting I have 3 or 4 azaleas, a tree peony and several other peonys, 3 Orleanders ( in winter storage at present), spring flowering bulbs and 3 Astromerias, all of which I need to incorporate in the design.
There are some plants/shrubs already in the plot which I can remove or reposition in need be. Problem is I can't get my pics file from Windows 7 t

Got the pics. but can't get them to upload from Windows 7. Any ideas.

 

Thanks, Maria.

 

i havent got a clue but will give @Zigs a shout he will probably help

 

It's because you've got a low post count, the software won't let you upload a file until you've got (I think) over 10 posts

 

Thanks Zigs. Will keep seeking way around the problem. It seems strange because I have not had this problem before and it's my computer which says access is denied to the pics. I want to post. It would be helpful if Gardeners Corner website would tell me what the problem is.

 

Is it because I have not donated any money?
