Hello,
I already have a thread with a similar title about the same garden, but the thread has disappeared. I don't see it in the list and can't find it using the search function.

Therefore, here is the second attempt: it's about a mini garden of 6x7m with a bicycle shed. That’s why there must be a path to the shed, and from the shed to the house.

Into the garden should go herbs, dandelion, arugula, one or two small apple trees, a terrace with seating for 4 people, and if space allows, a lounge corner.

Attached I am adding an idea (variant 2) where the terrace is directly at the house and the lounge corner is on the left side.

Variant 1 was the opposite, terrace on the left, lounge on the bottom right at the house.

Unfortunately, I am at a loss as to how to structure such a small garden. Tips have already been given to orient more towards balcony/(roof) terrace planning than garden planning because of the limited sqm.

If you have any further suggestions or tips or point out any ludicrous misplanning, I would be happy.

I also can't find the thread.

If you make plans, then to scale. Your terrace space is about 320 cm wide and about 220 cm deep at the table ... and now think about what you can put there.
The lounge area seems to be about 220x180cm, with 2 lounge chairs there won’t be as much free space as you have drawn.

OK. I will make a scale-accurate plan.

Here is another idea to scale (variant 2)
I realized that I might have used a photo from the internet of the house render in the first thread. Maybe that was the reason the thread was deleted without comment. Well, then we continue here now.

The lounge corner doesn’t have to be that big. I won’t use real loungers but rather delicate chairs that are good for sitting and reading. Something like from Fermob, chair "sixties" for example. I once measured in my living room: 2 chairs (cocktail armchair and old leather chair) sitting turned towards each other are 200 long and about 150 "deep"/wide. A miniature table for drinks fits between them. I added some seam allowance and set up a lounge corner on the left.

I quite like the lounge on the left. Normally the sun shines there during the day. While the terrace is in the shade except for the morning. I am not a sun fetishist and enjoy shady spots. The whole garden faces east.

I briefly had the idea to raise the lounge corner. In the first thread someone wrote that this wouldn’t be a good idea.
I am looking for a way to create a cozy and interesting garden despite the towel format.

Here is version 2 with angular shapes. On paper, I like it less than version 1 with rounded shapes.

And while I am photographing the angular design, I notice that I still have open areas. I don’t really want to cover such a tiny area with grass.
I could make a path between the terrace and lounge and plant something on the right and left sides. So that actually the rest becomes a "bed."

I find some things too small. Where do you put a grill? You calculate from the edge of the table to the wall at your lawn edge with at least 80 cm. According to the rule, your 3 meters are enough. In practice, this means one person pulls in their belly, another passes by the window on the other side with the zipper of their jacket, and someone else has to step into the beds. Take a look at your desired lounge furniture in the brochures. I also find that quite tight. Do you want a light privacy screen towards the neighbors or everything open? I would try out the path for the bicycles. I think in practice you will ride over the bed. Draw in your trees, your must-have beds. On the plan it looks like you have space, your garden is as big as my terrace, and I don’t know how I could fit everything in without squeezing. Which shapes you choose, I would depend on the planting.
