So the flooring stops and the gravel starts? Indoors? I’m so puzzled about this space!

Who the F has a legitimate garden bed in their DAMN HOUSE!!! (I hope there’s drainage, BTW)
But seriously… succulent garden, tropical floor garden. The world’s your oyster friend.

It would be good for succulents and cacti as they enjoy bright unfiltered light. If you want to place other plants there I would try rubber plants, spiders, kalanchoes, coffee plants, etc., as these generally will tolerate brighter light. If you want other plants that don’t tolerate unfiltered light, you could cover the window with a sheer curtain, or place other plants a few feet back from the window (or even against the back wall) to protect them from direct harsh sunlight. Congratulations on such a great plant haven — my plants and I are green with envy. 🙂 🙂

Don’t forget some moss of something if possible to fill in some of the ground 🙂

Anything that takes full sun.
Tall plants for privacy?
I’d try and get it full of flowers in the winter!
What’s the depth? What direction is the window facing? Are you going to be hand watering it? Any ideas what you’d want there in terms of height, colour or look?

I would put potted plants in there instead of planting directly in the ground, so you can still move them as needed in the event of an infestation of pests & to ensure proper drainage

So many questions! Is there drainage? Is there a lining of some sort, or is that just a concrete box?
To answer your question, I’d do an herb garden.

Big monstera with some colorful tropicals on the ground.

A zen garden if you don’t have cats. I would place potted plants there instead of planting directly.

Now that you have your IMMACULATE lighting figured out, I would consider water next. What’s the drainage like in that pit? How about the ambient humidity?
Would you love to have a mini wet jungle in that area? (Humidity and bugs and water damage)
Possibly more forgiving options you could do some cool dracena trees and succulents underneath?

Maybe you could make it hydroponic and grow house plants in it with fishes

So is the ground area deep for the roots 🤔
I’m intrigued

I love the windows, but the in-ground kind of disturbs me. Personally, I would prefer a floor and a series of shelves, which would allow me to have multiple layers of plants. If you put low plants in here, they won’t look like they take up much space. But then, with how the lights are, maybe low-growers would be preferred?
