My front garden is very traditional - lawn with flower borders. I have
lawns at the side and a big one at the back, so I am thinking of losing
the front garden lawn and converting it to a simple low maintenance
garden.

Can anyone suggest a book or a website that would help me? thanks.




bound to get replies that suggest ready-mix. How about either gravel or
wood chippings, I use builders gravel after a good rain it looks just as
good as expensive ones from garden centres, look up yellow pages for
tree surgeons, they will probably give you chipped wood for nowt. Then
plant between with perennials, nothing that grows too large, depending
on if it gets much sun. I love cistas myself, geraniums also.
