What Shall I put in My Garden?

So I've had a day to myself today, and have spent it mainly engaged in putting up my bookshelves. A simple task for normal humans is of course a sheer trial for a clumsy oaf with terrible spacial awareness, and only a small space.

However, after a long time lying on my back trying to line up holes with other holes, and awkwardly screw in hex screws, I did manage to get the thing up and put books on it without it collapsing.

I have sorted out a few plants for my little yard, but as you can see from the photographs it's a bit bare and flinty.

I am wondering how I can make a nice little nature garden at low cost and hassle level!
