Default Easily maintained garden?


Evelyn Usher wrote in message ...
Hi there,

As I am away from home a lot. Could anyone suggest a easily looked after
garden? I love conifers and rodedendrom and hydrangeas. My garden is
sheltered and does not get much sun.



Get the hard landscaping done correctly, and maintaining
the garden will be easier. If you have a lawn, make sure
that you have edging that can be mowed over. Have some paving where you
hang out the laundry.

For the planting, think about a smaller number of big things rather than
lots of little ones. (Clearly keep it in scale- don't go for Forestry
Commission conifers!)
