10 more simple ideas for neglected or difficult garden areas

We all have ‘difficult garden areas‘ or spaces we want to revamp without re-designing the whole garden.
It may be a corner where nothing wants to grow. Or a space which just seems to attract clutter.
Perhaps a tree has died, a shed has collapsed or you no longer need a trampoline? Maybe you want to start – or even stop – growing veg?
This is a two-part post and the first part, 10 beautiful garden ideas, deals with the area closest to the house, which for many people is the centre of the garden. It’s what you see when you step out of the door or look out of the window. This post is about those difficult areas – shady corners, those practical parts that attract clutter or a sloping bank.
And they’re simple ideas, aimed at re-using what you’ve already got and not needing any major landscaping.
I’ve re-vamped several corners of my garden over the past few years, so I’m pulling together those ideas, plus ideas I’ve seen in other gardens to inspire you.
Seating changes your view of the garden

These options included a shed, a compost heap, a tree and a border, but we eventually decided that seating was simplest. Depending on whether you have to buy the furniture or not, it can also be one of the cheapest because it doesn’t necessarily need new hard landscaping.
We had pavers from the previous pergola, but you could also put

Philadelphia Garden Show
When you go to the Philadelphia Flower Show, it helps to take along the right attitude. If seeing gorgeous, high concept gardens full of the most fashionable flowers makes you feel insecure, then take yourself elsewhere. If you need a massive dose of color, fragrance, humidity, and horticultural inspiration, then the Philadelphia Flower Show will be perfect for you. On my calendar, it officially marks the end of winter. It also reminds me of everything that a garden can be—provided you have a forklift, a crew of ten, at least $20,000 and the ability to make crocuses, roses and hydrangeas all bloom simultaneously.
