Underground or overhead feed?
Separated from Electrical to Shed
I have a similar situation where I want to run electrical to a 10x12 shed that's around 100 feet from the house. We life in the big city and my issue is deciding if the wires should run underground or overhead. I would dig a trench but our yard is long and narrow and all garden It is ver dense with old, established plants making it very hard to dig a trench without destroying the garden. Is running outdoor overhead electrical advised?

That's a matter of preference and local requirements. Most likely, only your power company and your local permitting authority can answer it for you.
As a general note, keeping an overhead feed more than the required minimum distance above the ground can be a challenge.
