The area near the house needs pretty flower beds but I’m unsure how to arrange them. Also the ground here undulates a great deal and so I need to work out a way of working with the contours to avoid the huge ( and probably unnecessary) task of levelling it all. Somehow need to use the irregularities as a guide to the design. I had been thinking of a more formal style with geometric shapes and beds but I think that is unrealistic and probably also not in keeping with the character of the garden anyway.

Two trees, larch and alder. Liking the larch very much- creates a lovely silhouette in the view from the house. The alder is very dominant and probably is taking water and nutrition from the orchard area so probably has to go.
