Answer

How do I make the most of a north-facing garden?

Light surfaces, shade-tolerant planting, and seating placed to catch the sun it does get.

In short

A north-facing garden gets less direct sun, so design works with that: light-coloured surfaces to bounce light around, shade-tolerant planting that thrives rather than struggles, and seating placed to catch the sun the garden does get, often at the far end. Designed well, it can be a calm, lush space.
