Here is an article that might be helpful - http://www.hgtv.com/design/outdoor-design/landscaping-and-hardscaping/downsizing-the-garden - good luck
maybe set a large decorative pot on that spot.
Start by digging some of the plants out And replacing with sod. If Replacing with Grass Is Not Your Thing Start Creating A Patio Area With Pavers

fall and spring are a great time to thin out or add to gardens.. if you have plants that are perennials you might be able to sell or give to others who want to expand garden... I see plants listed for sale often on local tag sale sites .. use the earnings to purchase pavers, stones as a focal point add a water feature... have fun
