Emptiness

Hi! I am new to this site and excited to be here. I have learned so much already from browsing all your posts!

This emptiness in my garden is really getting to bother me. The previous homeowner had a bird bath in this spot. It seems ideal but to keep it full is just one more thing to do in a garden of 30+ roses.

Would love ideas on what else I can do with it other than a bird bath or another rose bush :)

Thank you!
