hi-
just ramble, but I think a birdbath and/or birdhouse on a pole would look nice in there. They would both add height, and they will look nice no matter what kind of sun they get, or don't get, lol...they also soften and personalize any space, in my opinion.

I also have a thing for monkey grass as edging. It makes a nice evergreen border edging, and also will cover up and disguise your plastic edging and it being different from the brick edging.

I used it here in my curbside garden, and it sure helped "fill it in" quickly...as did the buttercups.

Buttercups can be invasive, but in a situation where there is concrete on all sides, it is not a concern. If you planted any, they could only wander on one side, and they could easily be mowed over, if they did...

I also am totally with RJ...boulders! I have two in this curbside garden, although only one shows in this picture. I've gotten more compliments on those boulders, than any other part of that, or any other one of my gardens.
