Garden Project

[Stevenj214]

I'm moving in to house share with my aunt. As well as paying rent, I have agreed to sort out her garden. This could be as simple as cutting the grass every week (which I can do and would be appreciated) or completely sorting the garden out (which I have no experience of and very little money to work with).

Now, I'd like to go for option number 2, and this is where the green-fingered PHers come in - I would very much appreciate your help!

I'll get some pictures up of the garden as soon as I can, but just to kick things off - would people be interested in helping/advising/instructing?

Ok, to answer some of the questions so far:

My Aunt has given me carte blanch to do whatever I like - the only rule being if I start it, I finish it.

The finished article should be puppy proof and low-ish maintenance.

There are some tools in the shed: lawnmower, spade, forks etc.

eightseventhree - very nice little project, you seem to have had a nice starting point.

As I said, I have zero experience with gardens and gardening, so I'm literally looking for you guys to tell me what to do.

If you say cut the grass, i'll cut the grass (it needs to be done anyway!)
If you say use industrial strength plant killer to kill everything and start again, it will be done.

So over to you...
