We have decided not to have veggies/fruit . Wonder if something like this or similar will look work  there ? What would be the name of those plants? 

For the wall the width is about 80cm . The height of the wall is 45cm on the left and 60cm on the right.

Re: Need ideas for plants for garden bed

Good morning @luisa  thank you so much for the extra pictures it makes it easier to see what we are looking at 😊 so the space is still quite narrow and shallow so you would not want to put anything too large in there. 
The picture looks like Little Gem Magnolia’s but I could be mistaken. They may be ok if they are spread out as they need space to grow and also room for the root system. 
I was also thinking about the Lilly Pilly - Straight and Narrow would be good too.

Thank you @mich1972, what would you suggest with the Lilly pilli as a front row ?

The Lilly Pilly would truly fill up that narrow space so I’m not sure I would put anything else in.
