Enjoy not endure your garden

Low maintenance gardening doesn’t mean you cannot have a beautiful garden full of plants and interesting features. It does, however, take a bit of planning to get it right.

It is also important to get the right balance to live in harmony with the wildlife around us and retaining environmentally carbon capturing plants.

A few tips on how to achieve it..

Trees and evergreen shrubs require little maintenance apart from an annual trim. Flowering perennials only need the dead growth to be cut back in the winter

Bulbs and annuals are easiest grown in pots and containers. Use bark as a mulch on your beds to suppress weeds and stopping the soil drying out too quickly

Letting the corners go a bit wild will save work and encourage the butterflies and bees

Install a simple water feature and log wall for the wildlife

Sit back and enjoy.
