| I have just moved my kids timber playhouse which leaves a bare northfacing
corner 2m x3m, right next to what i call a christmas tree 30ft tall on the
left -so is on the dryside and a fence on the right which is blocking the
east. The soil is quite deep and i will add compost.I am thinking of a shady
seating area in front of shrubs,perenials ,fragrance would be a bonus.Under
the xmas tree i have primulas,hellebores,snowdrops,dicentra,geranium and
others .
Any ideas please?
Thanks Keith
