I would love some advice please. We have a 120 ft long garden, about 70 ft wide. It slopes two ways, left to right, and from the top to the bottom, sloping downwards in both instances. We have a lovely view that I don't want to obscure.
Problem is that it is too blank canvas now. We have a terrace with lots of pots and planters, and beds on the side at the upper end of the garden, and a rectangular veg patch in the middle at the bottom. The veg patch now provides the main focal point of the garden, and I can't help feeling we need more structure.
I am wary of anything blocking the view too much, but at the same time think we need some height. I am a big fan of roses, which I have to treat very well as we have poor soil here. Very chalky and dry.
Design ideas would be really appreciated. We have 2 DC, 9 and 6, one of whom plays lots of football and we have a goal. We also have a climbing frame thingy, two sheds and a bike hut.
