Welcome. May I suggest you look very carefully at forest gardening because South Wales is not the sunniest place in the world, and although I am not an expert, my experience is that shade is the major problem. |
Hi there. Of course I'm not intending to grow a forest garden such as the ones you see in Australia and other countries across the world. I couldn't grow banana trees, or mango, or avocado but South Wales isn't always in shade!
You'd grow native trees... Apple, pear, hazelnut, elder and so on as your tallest tree tier, with fruit bushes underneath them and then lower plants such as rhubarb and strawberries etc. And then there are the perennial plants like welsh onions, asparagus, kales, leeks, hablitzia tamnoides, oh I could go on!
I've got a lot of ideas but am pretty restricted sadly... Considering my garden is very, very small and North facing, I can but try at least! |
