may be of help
Also, abstract themes, as below, are great for large areas rather than planning and executing realistic themes, they're much more forgiving

How about a mosiac garden? you could have trees, flowers & wildlife even on the darkest, wettest Winter's day! :-)

Hi dee1,
Blue tiles for water,mirrors for waves and yellow for a big sun.

Or lots of hot air balloons floating in the sky.That way you can add as much colour as you like.

Hope these ideas are helpful.
