Hi all!

I moved into my first apartment not too long ago here in Los Angeles, CA, and am very excited that it came with a cute little patio space, complete with a raised garden planting bed. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when it comes to plants.

Here's the space. The bed is a little over two feet wide and is 20 feet long. It gets maybe around four hours of sunlight a day. There is nothing planted in it currently- the plants you see have migrated over from the neighbor's yard.

I feel like it could be really special and beautiful but I have no idea where to begin. I was thinking maybe five small ornamental trees (is that a thing?), with some smaller plants between, but I really have no clue.

What would you do with this space if it were yours? Thank You!
