    Hi, I’m a new member!
    Recently I have designed and overseen the making of my very low maintenance garden for old doddery folk with the next 10+ years in mind. This is the fourth garden I have designed, and it is shamefully mostly tiles, stones and wood with two large raised beds and a herb garden. The garden is northeast facing, so the beds get full sun at various times of the day, which is good for many shrubs. I have kept to mostly evergreen and variegated shrubs, and I just hope I live long enough to see them grow and flourish. The colour element will be pots, hanging baskets and wall pots, that is when I can do them. My gardening is somewhat limited as I can not kneel or squat, I have arthritis in my spine, and two days after the landscapers left, I had a spectacular fall from 50cm, landed on my back and now have a crushed vertebra, so it will be some time before I can get stuck in properly. I live in hope !!! 820DB4CC-031F-4A5B-B275-321F2F391D63.jpeg

        Welcome to Gardeners Corner :smile:
        I'm sure your garden will look lovely when you've been able to get some colourful planted pots dotted around, they are easier for people with physical problems (myself included)
