Garden design ideas?
Hi all,
looking for some ideas to make one side of my garden a bit more interesting. I’m going for a cottage garden-style. It’s south-east facing, full sun and clay soil. Plants must be cat-friendly. I’ve got a jasmine stephanese to plant for some height for one of the panels so far!
Thanks in advance for any help

Thank you for your reply. I like the idea of having blooms across the seasons and differences in height. I’d love to be able to widen the border a bit, but I think it would make our small patch of grass look a bit odd if it was any wider.
I do feel like I’m restricting myself a bit even more as I’m reluctant to plant too much in case we move house. Trying to put things in containers where I can. I don’t think that would look very nice down that border though.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
If you want to keep it small, and cottage like, go with Roses, under planted with a few small shrubs/plants.
Aquilegia are beautiful and will come back each year. I also love alchemilla molis, which will also come back.
Rudbeckia for late colour.
Delphiniums is another plant that will give you a little hieght to break up the roses.
