Looks like Nepeta 'Walkerslow'

Salvia chamedryoides. Does well here in Corona Ca where Nepeta actually does NOT do well, so a good substitute I would think? I can tell you it is long lived in my garden, has a running habit, but is not invasive. Great cobalt blue flowers, gray foliage, extremely tough and heat tolerant. Hummingbirds love it. Top once a year and get rid of older deadwood. Easy.

Steep Coastal Garden

This garden was challenging, a steep sloping site and harsh coastal winds. We decided to level out the ground from the house, to allow for a patio and lawn. The steep slope to the ocean was planted with hardy ground cover plants e.g Cotoneaster. We carefully chose more colourful planting to border the lawn, that could also withstand the strong coastal winds e.g. Nepeta, Lavender, Hebe. The silver granite patio sits beautifully against the lush green lawn, and reflects the sunset.

Small Garden Ideas

Hi all, Looking for a few ideas on what to plant in different areas of a small garden. The first photo shows the front, the bed near the window gets a lot of sun in both winter and summer. I did plant wild flower seeds here last September but it was a bit late so only have the below. As it gets the sun I would like to plant flowers that would attract bees........any ideas? Also looking to plant 2 or 3 plants down the side of the fence........what would be recommendations? The bed by the wall doesn't really any sun during the winter and a bit in the summer. Was thinking the tree as there and adding a cherry blossom in the middle or maybe a bit closer to the gate. Good idea? The second photo shows the back, the plan was/is to put decking over half the grass and plants in the bed. What would you recommend for this bed? It gets no sunshine in winter but gets a lot from end of April to start of Sept. The third one shows another bed at the back that again only gets sunshine in the summer. Again what would be the recommendation here? And finally looking for somewhere in Ireland I can buy all of the recommendations online?? Loads of questions for any budding landscaper!! :-)

Small garden ideas and how to « hide » neighbour side wall
Q

Hi there, My partner and I recently bought a house and we are delighted with it. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to gardening but I’d like to have a nice little back garden nevertheless. The garden is quite small but the size doesn’t bother me at all. The only issue I have is the bins in the corner (I’m hoping to get bin covers at some point) and the neighbour’s side wall which is currently being built. I know it will look much nicer when the building and painting is done, and thankfully these windows will be frosted as they are their bathroom windows. However I’d like to have some ideas to « hide » or change the focal point of our back garden when I look out my kitchen windows. Is there any tall thin trees we could plant in the back ? I’d like to install a pergola at some point or a decking area in the back but it might be difficult then to plant trees near the wall? Do you have any ideas of how I could do both ?

Awkward small front garden perspectives sought

Hi, I am in the process of renovating a house and garden (see image above). The wall on the right boundary is curved and restricts the ability to exit the car and is generally annoying for reversing out of the driveway. I was thinking a straight driveway and plants either side, flower beds to cover up the ugliness of the curved wall and lessen the visual impact. The renovated house will have a slightly extended porch and the white square (chimney) will be removed. Has anybody any design advice for this space or dealt with similar? I have a north facing orientation and the driveway may need to have space for two cars in time (not absolutely essential). I also have to store bins discreetly as no rear access sow as thinking of a wooden lift up board with plants and flowers going through it to disguise. Thanks for any suggestions.
