which plants would be best?

consider some evergreens, too, such as Euonymus fortunei, Viburnum davidii, Skimmia Japonica & Sweet Box, for example. All of the above should be fine in heavy clay. I think that ornamental rhubarb might grow a bit big for the bed in that photograph by chellie

shrub suggestions

and the bees will love them. Daphne's...nice new one called Eternal Fragrance? Skimmias....in spring they attract a lot of bees here. Aconitums attract both bees and butterflies and add some height. I love perennials and grasses and now veer more to them by Bill Mansfield

Clay soil problem

and fertiliser but make your own compost to augment animal manure. I can grow anything I want in my garden ,even things that like acid soil by careful placing of trees whose leaves break down to acidify the soil . Start with robust plants like potatoes. look by L0la
