Low maintenance

Wanting a low maintenance garden? There are several aspects you need to consider. To keep your garden looking nice all year round you’re going to want to pick plants that will retain their colour. something like a bamboo is a good choice, but if you want some other colours you may want to pick a verbena. It won’t be around all year, but it will come back every year!

Divide the space in your garden to break away from the classic squares and rectangles. Keep your design simple, but have different materials and hard landscaping in different colours. Breaking it up with low maintenance plants and see through plants like the verbena will help and colour, shade and texture to your garden whilst keeping the space feeling open. By varying the heights of plants to include a mix of ground covering and tall plants you will be able to create the illusion of a fuller garden, without having to put the time and effort into it.
