    Lack of Knowledge, trying to do a project!!

    I'd be very careful of the vinca as @CarolineL says. Whilst the v major is the worst, the v minor will also spread rapidly. Are you keeping all of the lawn shown in your photo ? If so, there isn't a lot of space left for plants. Either way, violets, ferns, spring bulbs may be worth considering.

    Yes it is parasitic on mainly hazel and alder but can be on the roots of other trees.
