Inspiration for garden

Hello community, would love your help and advice for the garden. I have a raised garden bed with two large palm trees in it. I am looking to add some low maintenance, sturdy plants/trees and also some colourful plants to, to give it some life and something nice to look at in the garden. Don’t no where to start on selecting the right planet/trees and flowers. I did read somewhere, it’s good to layer in tier for an effective look. Area is south facing but it does get quiet a bit of light 
any thoughts would be great. Please see photo. Approx 4 meters in length and 1metre in width (approximately)

Re: inspiration for garde

Hello @aoifemacs 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about adding plants to your garden.

 

Can you please tell us your general location so that we can recommend the proper plants for your area. I'm just a little bit worried that planting in between those large palm trees might not work. Because they are so large they will be absorbing all the nutrients in that area and will not leave any for the smaller plants. I therefore suggest thinking about setting up another raised garden to the left. This will allow you to expand your plant choices and not be limited by space.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
