The Low Maintenance Garden - Farnham, Surrey

This 'minimal fuss' design is perfect for anyone who is short of gardening time. Low maintenance gardens are becoming increasingly popular but what are the MUST DOs for a minimal garden. 
Firstly, hard landscaping. Replacing any unwanted beds or lawns with paving and/or gravel will instantly remove any gardening hassle with the exception of a few potential weeds. 
Secondly, by carefully selecting hardy plants and shrubs you can still have a beautiful colourful garden. Slow growing shrubs and alpine perennials are perfect for this style as they require little to no maintenance.  
Finally, pots and containers. These are an easy and affordable way to have a variety of plants without the fuss of flower beds - all you need is a little patio space or window box and youre set.
