Thanks to TV shows like the Chelsea Flower Show and the influence of garden designers like Diarmuid Gavin, low-maintenance gardens remain a favorite choice. By blending vibrant colors with robust shapes, you can create an easy-to-care-for outdoor space.

2# Plant in Groups

Don’t stress over plant selection. Opt for striking shapes and vibrant hues. Plant in groups, using odd numbers, to add bursts of color to your garden. Consider crocosmia and alliums planted in groups, complemented by grasses like festuca or carex. For a more delicate touch, include agapanthus and verbenas.
