Ideas for outdoor areas, garden, garden landscaping - suggestions, tips?

Thank you for the pictures

Hermannshof also has plant lists online.

Thank you for the photos and information...

I tried to accurately trace everything to scale with a CAD program that was not suitable for this (it was the only one I had available). I designed the garden as I imagined it + your improvement suggestions. I find the front yard practical, although there is a lot of paving, which is negative. I didn’t have any special ideas for the garden, especially for the beds (top and left). Maybe it makes sense to just make it a lawn area for now and decide over time where to put what, or is it good as it is?

What do you think about the space for bicycles and garbage bins?
By the way, the top right is the south side. I find that good at least...

That already looks good. Bushes on the terrace or in the lawn create spaces, shade, privacy, and wind protection. The beds can also be enlarged later and underplanted with perennials. You can do the same in the front yard.
A bit of stonecrop, grasses, and asters, combined with evergreen bushes that may bear red berries in winter... in summer, you can interplant flowering plants.

Here are pictures from 11/26/18: 1st picture north side, 2nd picture south side, 3rd picture south side with the planter stone border. Enjoy your garden planning! Gabriele

Respect But not for me, maybe if I had a gardener it would be too much effort for me.
