Excellent use of space.....and the best thing i liked is the graduated borders....if you plant annuals/perennials small to large step wise it will give a very good impact.

Yes the stepped beds are nice. Much more impact than if it wasn't there and flat. That's a good idea to follow right there. Thanks!

Nice. Good to see someone trying to create effect in a small place through plant placement and landscaping and not by just planting few expensive plants. I would suggest that next time you may like to try a little informal elevation steps, ie, not constructed in a geometric / symmetric fashion. Instead of bricks, may like to use small stones of irregular shape and size (to break the symmetry and hold soil in the elevated bed). It might look even better and more natural. Also, keep the deeper portion of raised bed a little lower that the front portion otherwise water will drain out too quickly and plants will not get enough water :)
regards.

You have a beautiful garden. It would be a pleasure to have you as a neighbour. Well done for the imaginative use of space.

Maybe the incorporation of a small water feature like on the wall or a rhyll would complete the setting. Adding the pleasures of not only sight and smell but sound as well.

Newton saheb that's a great idea but here with the problem of mosquitoes I always recommend to stay away from water features since it can result in Dengue and Malaria. Maybe when our city is cleaner then we can resort to such pleasures.
