[QUOTE="Halfy, post: 854437, member: 16743"] Last year my partner and I moved in together and bought a house with a rather large garden on all four sides of it. The old lady who owned it before us had a gardener tend to the garden every week, but that's too much for us, and we're enjoying finding out what comes out to flower. We have, however, had a gardener now and then to prune back the bushes and trees, remove excess brambles and also make us two "pebbled" areas at the front of the house with only a few flowers and colourful bushes so that will only take the minimum of time to look after. Most of the garden resembles a park, which I'm so proud of; and we also have fruit growing round the back. Whilst the gardener was sorting through things, he put all sorts of flowers in one place in order to move them when he'd/we'd decided where we'd prefer them planting. That place is now clear again and we're just wondering what we can grow there. It's right next to a new patio we've laid down and about 15' in diameter so I'd like some colourful taller bushes at the back, with smaller flowering plants at the front, with perhaps a few stepping stones so we don't get too muddy when tending to them. Does anyone have any ideas or names of colourful bushes and plants that don't take too much looking after please - any ideas welcome. [/QUOTE]
