Mulch, mulch, mulch and some more mulch. as long as the mulch is organic, you
will be weeding and feeding at the same time.

I was tempted to say "there ain't no such animal," but if by "low
maintainence" you don't mean "no work," meticulous preparation will
help. Prepare the soil; mulch for weed surpression; erect supports for
plants that need 'em; arrange for easy irrigation; fence against
rabbits and deer, and give everything enough room. Stock up on
controls for beetles, catepillars, fungus, mildew, and birds. And
you'll still have to weed (some always get through).

What did you have in mind?
