I'm a real beginner & would like to start planning my summer garde
porject. any advice is gratefully received! I have two small gardens, one front & one in back of the house... Th front garden is very rarely used but has some fantastic old (reall old) rose bushes which I have pruned according to advice from colleague. I'd like to know what to plant in our borders to create cheap Wow factor. I need plants which are brightly coloured and fill u the space nicely. In the back garden we have more rose bushes and a composter, this i the family garden where my one year old will play in the summer. Th space is communal and our plot backs onto the drying green. All tha stops the wee man running away is a strip of border (and a few viciou old roses). In the back garden I'd like to plant seeds that will gro tall and create a fence-like effect while still being colourful, fu and above all safe for the baby to eat as he insists on doin occasionally. Again I'd like the plants to grow quite wild and big t fill the space ( and surround the roses) rather than being uniorm an structured. But they also have to be cheap and not adverse to a bit o Scottish rain! Any advice given will be really gratefully received. This is my firs garden where I have had full creative license and I'd love to bot impress the neighbours and create a little summer haven for my family Many thanks
