my garden needs a complete makeover

Hello and welcome to GOY. I will look forward to your progress you seem to have made a good start.

welcome to GoY
what would you like in your garden? what do you enjoy looking at or growing?
those trees at the back make a lovely backdrop

thank you! so nervous, first time with a garden, ex city girl, i've planted silver birch 2 common beech 1, maple 1..but i want colour pink and reds and evergreens for privacy , i've decided to plant heathers white and purple in my border bed need to take more pics,, i have vast space in the back as well,,200 feet or more, i also planted pumpkins seeds ,,:) so much to do i feel i need help!! thank you for being here..

you're very welcome, im certainly no expert tho! lots of people on here are really good and will be able to tell you some very good advice
you certainly have a big garden so that should let you plant all sorts. do you get much sun? you also need to know what type of soil you have ~ you can work this out to some extent by looking at what is growing well in yours and other nearby gardens eg: if they have lots of camellias, azaleas and rhodedendrons then it could be slightly acidic.
i think i would suggest having a look at lots of the pictures on here of other peoples gardens and seeing what you would like ~ mossy has a lovely shady and secretive garden, terratoonie has some amazing colours in beautiful bright array, annella has the structure of shrubs surrounding a lawn that looks really lovely ~ there are loads more but you can look at peoples photos or you can go to the picture section or to the gopeadia at the bottom of the page and click on a letter eg: r for rock gardens
have fun!!

Welcome to GoY... good luck with your garden ..
I hope you get lots of ideas from GoY :o)
