When selecting trees and shrubs
for a low maintenance garden, go for species that grow at a sedate pace and
keep their shape naturally, without the need for pruning or training. Fast
growing shrubs mature quickly, but will soon need attention.
Thick mulches spread between shrubs, or among newly planted ground
cover plants, will help to conserve soil moisture and will also discourage weed
seedlings to develop.

Smaller evergreens,
especially dwarf conifers and daphnes, can be planted relatively close
together. Try inserting clematis among these to add colour and interest during
summer.
