I have a cottage at Somerset Place Society Retirement Village. The garden is on a slope without anything pleasing to retain or terrace the slope (all sorts of left overs from precast walls, ancient and decaying railway sleepers, bits of concrete) have been used. It has two very old and woody Hibiscus plants, two Guava trees and some very spikey leaved plants and a couple of uninspiring woody succulents. There is absolutely no theme or layout to the garden. It's simply horrid. I would like to have paved areas and a pathway with steps to the levels of the garden. Evergreen shrubs/with flowers as focus plants. Once established, it should be as low maintenance as is possible. Herbs mixed in the garden planting would be welcome and plants to attract birds, butterflies and bees are most welcome. I have two dogs and a cat. The dogs are diggers!
We have a tiny garden around a bricked area in front of our townhouse. There are trees on either side and a couple of established shrubs, which means that the area doesn't get much sun. We'd like someone to tell us what will work, dig up some buried concrete, bring fresh soil, and do the planting. We have a number of pots that we can use for annuals, so what we're after is an established low-maintenance garden.
