Looking for help from anyone green fingered.
I am going to get my garden planted in a couple of weeks. Instead of getting landscaper to do it, am going to just get two people to dig the flower beds and do the manual work, whilst I have to organise the plants/skips/soil/etc.
I am looking to plant maybe more kind of evergreentype plants like phormiums/yuccas/etc. Anyone know anywhere that would stock these type of plants at a good price. A lot of landscape suppliers just give you the basic type of shrubs you get, say, in an industrial park and I dont want to get these. I also keep going for spiky looking plants and dont want to overload on these also.
Anyone any ideas of which type of plants look well in such a planting scheme? Has anyone planted a Tree Fern, am also thinking of getting one of these.
Types of plants I am looking at include, Yuccas/Phoenix/Silver Spear/Phormium/cordyline/Banana Tree. Any pro's or cons or any of these. Any recommendations for shrubs which would match in.
Also, anyone any experience of using Bamboo for screening (am thinking of getting clumping Bamboo as a screen at the end of my garden)
