Trying desperately to make our garden less work as we age. We have a border that is under a damson tree and gets some early morning sun but is in shade for the rest of the time.At the moment, it houses our hostas which we planted in pots with copper wire to keep away the snails. However, watering these in dry weather is now too much. The idea is to plant shrubs and mulch heavily. This worked very successfully in another area of the garden and means we rarely do anything to that bed. I would love shrubs that flower if possible to brighten up the area.
