Here is a rough plan showing what I plan on doing...

I am going to take out the two little trees between the big ones and put in a hammock. The Crossvine that I planted should grow up and cover the shed side. I plan in creating an bed edge with rocks and then stepping stones to the hammock. Some ideas I have to put in the area are Hydrangea's (the blue), More Heucheras (the orange), Hostas (light green), and ferns (dark green), and small edgers like oxalis and wood violets (pink). Against the fence the big blobs stand for the Red Buckeye and Beauty Berry I would like to put in. Elephant Ears are planted further up the fence.

I will also hang some bird feeders and wind chimes from the trees above. And a rope swing might go to the right side of the garden.
