Ideas please


Recently moved. The path & patio will be replaced. Left side is mostly shade. Right side is full sun. I’m disabled but enjoy gardening & sitting out there. I’m totally stumped for designing. Thinking of patio or gravel etc for the left side with shade loving plants in containers & raised beds on the right. Any easy maintenance ideas please. Something that would attract wildlife.

    A lot depends on the nature of your disability.

    Containers take a lot more looking after than things planted directly in the soil, as the volume of soil is so much smaller. You have to make sure you water them regularly and may need to protect them from frost.

    If you need things at a higher level, go for raised beds instead.

    Why not grow flowering shrubs, which will just need a prune once a year?
