Description
A beautiful garden with little effort? Is there such a thing?
In this episode we chat about how to design a low effort garden and which styles, materials, accessories and plants are well suited to achieving this approach.
We challenge some of the romantic notions of low effort gardens and give you the practical run down of where to put your investment and what to avoid.
If you love minimalist, contemporary and static gardens and have little time for fiddling, this episode will inspire you.
