Animal Crossing New Horizons – Patch of Green Space on Island Where Nothing Grows: Solutions and Tips

animal-crossing-new-horizons

I have a decent patch of "green space" that extends over and past my island's eastern beach. When I've tried to plant things in that space, they don't seem to grow, even though I'm pretty positive they have enough space to do so.

Is this fixable, e.g., with the terraforming tool, or does it just get to be the spot I keep my picnic stuff on? To give an idea of the size, it's almost, but not quite, the same general dimensions of a house plot (I also tried to put a house there, but it's just a bit too small.

Most Island Peninsulas aren't that big, they may seem so, but they vary rarely go over 3x3 (a tree needs 3x3). They round out and add some extra land, though not always a full grid space. so you can likely fit two trees on one at best. Most players I've come across use this peninsula for furniture arrangements instead, like Lighthouses or small picnic areas. It seems to be Designed/intended for that.
