The garden can be any size you want, from some well planted containers or a colourful border, to one that includes all the previously mentioned elements. A typical garden design is shown below:

Points to remember: - Plant taller shrubs and flowers at the back of your garden to provide shelter.
- Place log pile in the most shaded place in the garden.
- Include plants that will give a good show of flowers from spring to autumn.
- Consider what access you will require to the garden, and plan accordingly; stepping stones are useful when weeding.
- Your garden will take time to mature and during this period fill up bare patches with colourful annuals. If half-hardy annuals are used, sow them in seed trays initially and grow under protection before planting out.
