Hi

I am after a bit of advice if I may...

I am very new to this gardening business - my previous limit has been
a few patio pots!!

Now I am looking to put a few small trees/plants in the garden (I like
the look of black bamboo) in a minimalist garden with no grass
(decking and slabs) as I have two large dogs.

I am after some suggestions for some good landscaping plants/tress
that are low maintenence and would be ok with animals.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Nicola
