Here's how to start planning your low-maintenance garden...
1️⃣ Start by thinking about your space and how much time you want to spend maintaining it. This helps shape a garden that suits your lifestyle.
2️⃣ Keep the design fairly simple. A few well chosen features often work better than lots of different elements.
3️⃣ Choose hardy, low-maintenance plants that are suited to your soil and local conditions.
4️⃣ Consider reducing lawn areas, since they can take a lot of upkeep. Gravel, paving or similar alternatives can help cut down maintenance.
5️⃣ Use evergreen shrubs and perennials to keep the garden looking good throughout the year.
6️⃣ Make sure paths and access areas are practical and easy to move around, which also makes maintenance easier.
7️⃣ Add mulch to planting areas to help reduce weeds and retain moisture.
8️⃣ A bit of planning upfront can make a big difference in how easy the garden is to manage later on.
