Rockery question

Since moving in a year or so ago, we've just been treading water with the garden, but today all that changed and I assaulted it from every flank. It's now looking ordered and much healthier.

I also discovered a rockery. Now my understanding of rockeries is limited, but I'd always assumed one should make them in a place that gets plenty of sun, with nothing that can shade it and with good open space. This one's facing north, initially under a well established Syringa and then further covered by an oak tree - with a blackthorn hedge further protecting it from the sun for good measure. When I discovered it, it was just full of Campanula, which I'm guessing wasn't meant to be there. It looks carefully built, so can anyone hazard a guess as to what might have been intended to be in there, given its shady, sun deprived location?

Now all you have to do is get the local Police to think there may be human bodies on your property and the support team will be round forthwith to dig over your plot.:good:

 

If you can get one of the TV gardening programmes interested you might even get a garden makeover along the lines of Groundforce!:cool1:
