    Hi, I moved into my new in 2017 and have been renovating the garden since then. BUilt a 7mx5m decking, a new lawn, laid some patio and planted lots fo plants from roses to fuschia and hydraengea. Some plants I lost in the heat others are thriving. We're now looking to reinvest in making the garden even better with an outhouse, kids play secton, veg patch, new shed and some fruit trees etc. It's around 300m2 on a corner plot so looking for ideas and inspiration as we plan, build and grow over the next couple of years.

            Hi and Welcome,

            Sounds an exciting challenge to plan out this winter.
            One thing not on your to do list is any mention of a greenhouse that most gardeners would love to have.
            If not planned could you incorporate something into out outhouse(?) or have a shed with a large window area (polycarb) that would double up as one in the spring for the new tender plants and seedlings etc.
